She's Back

Stableboy

Regina

"Daniel! Oh my god!" I cried, leaping into his arms, quickly pulling away and wiping my tears, feeling my heart getting sucked out by shock, turning my attention to Eliza who had crumpled to the ground behind me.

"Oh god, let's get her up." I said patting her cheek, Daniel gently moved next to me and slipped his strong arms under her knees and around her shoulder, lifting her to the couch.

"Oh god, so it is true." He whispered quietly, gingerly running his thumb against her jawline, looking up at me before wrapping me in his arms closely before pressing a kiss on my head.

"Yeah, I guess so." I whispered, wiping my eyes from the tears that were falling without me knowing.

"You look so different Regina, how are you? I, uh, met Robin in the underworld, he sent me here, but, how's your life?" He asked, I bit my lip and looked down, my eyes welling up as I recalled it.

"Mom? What's going on?" Henry asked, both him and Violet coming down the stairs with Rosalie sleeping in his arms, making me laugh lightly and nod, wiping my eye as I gave both of them a watery smile.

"This is my son, Henry, Henry Daniel Mills." I said nudging him towards my ex fiancé who stared at him in awe.

"Nice to meet you Henry, I'm Daniel." He said holding his hand out, my son smiled and handed me Rosalie, politely introducing himself.

"And this is my daughter Rosalie Elisa." I said holding her out for him to see, his eyes welled up and I saw him rub her hand gently.

"She's beautiful, all of your kids are beautiful." He said making me smile, my heart overwhelming with emotion.

"Do you want to hold her?" I asked, he smiled and nodded, holding his arms out as I gently passed her over.

"Regina, I'm so confused, there's two of you now, I mean and both of you are technically the same person, but how can I invest my love in her when I love you just as much." He cried, rocking Rosalie who fit comfortably in his arms, his voice taking a sad turn, making me sigh and nod.

"Well, she has the same memories that I do, but she is the Regina that you fell in love with, I can't explain it, but she's the one that you should be with, I will always love you Daniel, but right now you need to be with Eliza, she's carrying your baby, and she needs you right now." I said gently, making him shudder and nod.

"You're right, but can we still talk? You know, as friends?" I smiled and nodded, taking Rosalie back as I heard Eliza come through on the sofa.

"Grab her some water Henry." I said to my son who ran into the room with a glass, Violet gently pat Eliza's cheek and sat back and held her breath as the queen awoke, handing her the glass of water.

"Are you alright?" I asked quietly, she blinked a few times and used my arm to sit up, her face turning pale as she stared at Daniel.

"Oh god." She whispered, her voice straining as he smiled at her, terror filling her expression as she stared at him.

"Hi." He said quietly, making her jump up and stare at me with a painful look.

"Don't talk to me." She spat at Daniel, making him shrink back and avert his eyes from her.

"Eliza, wait." I said trying to clear the air, but she ignited a fireball and growled at me, an expression gracing her face that I had never seen before, making herself disappear in a cloud of smoke.
