The Potion

Blood

Henry

As I fell I saw the rough waters below of the Enchanted Forest. Violet held me tight as we crashed into the rough sea, we plunged into the icy waters, the strong waves tossing us around.

Both of us kicked to the surface and gasped in some air, I saw the sky open up and everyone else fall through a couple yards ahead of us. I swam closer and saw Robin and my mom falling, Robin had her close in his arms, but all of a sudden a large wind blew and she flailed out and plunged into the icy waters below.

"Violet wait here! My mom can't swim!" I screamed, my blood turned to ice when I saw rocks around the area where she fell. I took a deep breath and dove deep into the water, my mother was floating and unconscious closer and closer to the sharp rocks, I could feel Robin swimming behind me so I powered on. Suddenly a big wave tossed us forward and I saw my mom's limp body slam against a rock, blood seeping from the back of her head. I panicked and sprinted towards her, linking my arms around her and swimming to the surface.

I coughed and gasped for air, gently moving my arms around my mother's chest and squeezing, she flinched and coughed up a good potion of the water. Robin and everyone else came over to me, frightened looks on their faces.

"Let's get to shore." I said gripping her tightly, Robin nodded and held onto Roland as we swam.

We got to shore and I ran onto the beach with my mother in my arms, Robin took her from me and carefully started dabbing the back of her head, laying her down.

"Regina? Darling are you alright?" He said gently shaking her shoulders, after a while she moaned and her eyes fluttered open. "My head." She complained, she tried to sit up but Robin and my grandma stopped her, setting her back down, I sighed in relief and Violet came up behind me and set her hand on my shoulder.

Snow

"Let's get her up, we should get to the castle before nightfall." Robin said, I helped him lift Regina into his arms, she leaned her head on his chest and started to close her eyes, the portal, ocean, and baby taking a physical toll on her.

"Let me use my magic to get us there." Regina started, but Robin carefully lowered her hand. Zelena rolled her eyes and flicked her wrist, making us all appear in the castle.

"Neal honey please stop crying." I whispered, he was screaming over his wet clothes and nobody seemed to be able to soothe him including myself. "I'm going to be right back, please stay put." Robin said sitting Regina up in the bed, everyone seemed to clear out and I continued trying to calm my baby.

"Here. Let me." Regina said holding her arms out, I pursed my lips and decided that it was worth a shot. I handed him over and the minute she took him and laid his chubby head against her chest he stopped crying. "Okay sweetie it's okay, shhh." Regina cooed, he started sucking on his hand and then instantly fell asleep, snuggling against her chest.

"How did you do this!" I whispered, she shrugged and rubbed his back gently.

"You have to calm down before you calm the baby down." She said staring at him, she was looking at him the same way she looked at Henry or Roland, with pure love in her eyes.

I sat down beside her and watched her interact with my son. "How are you? Is everything going okay?" I asked resting my hand on her knee, she sighed and looked up at me, she looked conflicted and sighed. "I'm physically fine, but Henry is still coming to terms with everything, and it's my fault, I got a little hasty with the whole baby situation, he was still upset over his situation with Violet, I just feel so guilty! He said he feels so alone right now and that I won't have time for him once the baby comes. I'm just trying to make time for him, and Emma and Robin, and Roland and-." Suddenly Neal coughed and started crying, grabbing his ear in pain.
