I Remember

Enchanted Forest

Regina

Five Months Later

"Regina Mills why in the world are you up!" Robin reprimanded, drawing me close to him. I groaned and wiggled out of him, not wanting to be touched at the moment. "I have to use the restroom Robin! I have two babies using my bladder as a squeeze toy." I mumbled.

Just as I came out Roland ran downstairs crying, apparently grabbing my leg, I couldn't tell, I couldn't even see my feet. "What is it munchkin?" I asked, moaning as I lowered myself slowly to his level. "The curse! The purple fog!" He cried, I looked at Robin and before I could say anything the whole town started to shake. Henry came downstairs and looked at me in confusion. "Not me this time!" I yelled over the rumbling, Henry and Robin helped me up and then huddled together as the purple smoke engulfed us.

I waited, they were going to save me, I knew it, but I had no idea how. I was stuck here in the Enchanted Forest where nobody could get to me, and I definitely didn't want anyone to enact the curse for me. No one else needed to die at my hand. I felt the ground beneath me start to shake then the familiar purple smoke rising over my head, surrounding me completely, my body started to tingle, the magic making me refreshed. Suddenly it stopped, the air was clear and there was no more magic in the air. I heard a twig snap and I spun around, everyone was there. Someone enacted the curse.

Robin

We landed in the same clearing that they had landed in before, Roland and I were in our Merry Men clothes and Henry was in normal attire for this realm. I looked over at Regina and saw her squeezed in her pre-baby Queen attire. She was squirming uncomfortably and trying to get the tight corset off. "Let me help." I offered, cutting the strings in the back, allowing her to breathe again. She leaned on me and held her stomach, her discomfort prominent on her face. I kissed her head and started walking her ahead to Snow and Charming.

"Here Regina sit down." Charming offered, moving his cape out of the way, revealing a traveling stool. Having no argument for once she thanked him and slowly lowered into it, groaning at her stiletto heels that were on her feet, which were now probably swollen. "Why are we here?" Regina asked, Snow gave us a worried look and sighed. "We think Rumple got the dagger when he kidnapped Belle and Henry." She whispered, just in case he was around. I saw Regina stress so I moved behind her, rubbing her back gently. "Let's get to the castle and everyone else can get to their homes from the last curse, we have to get out of this place." Charming said sheathing his sword on his hip. Snow and I both helped Regina out of her seat into her upright standing position. "I can call for a carriage or something for you and the boys?" I offered, she just shook her head and started walking. "I can walk, I just need some new shoes." She complained, holding her foot out. "Well what is your size milady?" I asked, rummaging through her pack which was strapped to a horse, pulling out a pair of black canvas shoes. I gently lifted the skirt to her gown and pulled off her boot, sliding the flat shoe on her surprisingly normal foot.

We started our caravan to the castle, I walked behind Regina, who slowly made her way with the group. Occasionally Snow would grab her hand and pull her along, I guided her with my hand on the small of her back.

She stopped abruptly and her grip on Snow tightened. "Darling, are you alright?" I asked alarmed, she remained silent for a moment then gasped, her skirt dampening. She turned and looked at me terrified, tears threatening to fall on her face. "My water broke."

Regina

I felt a strong contraction tense in my stomach, causing me to hunch forward into Robin. "Ahhh! Oh that hurts." I moaned, he moved me forward and rocked me back and forth, Snow rubbed my back and started moving people past us. "Mom?! Are you okay!" Henry asked running up to me, his voice shaking from fright. I smiled through my pain and nodded. "Of course Henry. I'm fine." I managed to get out through my teeth. He didn't look convinced so I ushered him down the path with Roland.
