Chapter 18

Credit to AblessingMitchell  for the ending part.

Emma's POV.

"She is smoking hot. "

"Yeah but she is also mine. " I'm with my co-workers and some friends at my farewell party. It's cute. I'm talking to Graham.

"I'm so making a speech."

"No you are not. !"

"Watch me." He heads to one of the tables and stands on it. Oh my god.
"I hope you fall off ! Dick!" I yell at him embarrassed.

"I just wanted your attention for a minute or two whilst I speak about Emma. Emma Swan. Your such and amazing person, your my partner, my best friend and even though I'm your lieutenant you still love to boss me about." I shake my head at him but I'm smiling.

"I cannot believe your going to LA and leaving us for your son, we never knew you had and Regina Mills who is the definition of stunning. Which is a shame because she's gay, I guess you can be pretty good looking sometimes yourself Swan. " this earns a few laughs.
"Don't forget about us Swan whilst your out there, getting your sun on and eating everything ok?" I smile wide.
"Everybody raise your glasses for the, gorgeous, brave Emma Swan. " everybody claps for me and I'm smiling like an idiot.

"Get over here you goon." I pull him in for a hug.

"Shots?" I shake my head.

"I'm driving " I say.

"Boring " I look at him and grab my coke, funny? Not where I left it. I grab it from the other table that I didn't put it on and drink it in front of him.

I'm going round each person thanking them and giving them hugs. It's 10pm and it's been a really good night to say there was no alcohol for me, now I'm ready to go home to my babies. I'm so glad Regina is staying the night and leaving tomorrow.

I get in my bug and begin the drive home.

As approaching the door I'm reading my messages. Nothing interesting though. I turn the key and open my door, Henry comes running up to me.
"Hey kid it's late " I say hugging me.

"I wanted to wait up for you." Aw! bless his little heart.

"Have you had a good night? "Henry nods and yawns.

"Yeah, I spent time with Regina, we did baking and we watched a movie, Rose said it was ok to bake. "

"Sounds fun kid" he yawns again.
"Somebody's tired kid"

"Am not. "

"Are too!" I grab him and fling him over my shoulder, he's laughing uncontrollably and I'm moving about so he's going upside down and everywhere.
"Mom *laugh* I am *laugh* 12 I'm *laugh* not a baby.

"But just because your 12 doesn't mean you can't be my baby" I carry him to his bedroom and put him down on his bed.
"What time is Regina taking you to Storybrooke tomorrow?"

"We are leaving here at 8AM , please get up mom! I want to see you before I go because I won't see you for a week. "

"I promise." I kiss his head.
"Get some sleep kid. " I move out of his room , and shut off the light as I leave. I quietly close his door.

"Hey" It startles me.

"Rose! You gave me a bloody heart attack. "

"Sorry, just wanted to see if you were ok. Regina's asleep in your bed, she wanted to sleep on the couch but I wouldn't let her. Figured you wouldn't mind." I nod my head.
"You look really good in my clothes. "

"This is the kinda stuff Regina wears on a daily basis she said I look good in her style. "

"You really love her don't you. " I nod my head.

"I have for 8 years"

"I know Swan , I know. " she winks at me before heading to her own room, I head to mine. The door is open slightly, I push it further open and close it again when I'm inside. Soft breaths can be heard coming from Regina as she sleeps. I remove Regina's shoes and place them carefully at the foot of the bed, didn't ruin them might I say. I remove my clothes, put my pyjamas on and slowly climb into bed next to Regina. It was not easy considering she claimed the middle.

6:23.

The morning outside was still dark and the space beside me was cold. Regina has gone. I groan because it's really early and I'm awake and strangely I'm not tired. I get up and head out to my kitchen because I can smell food, it's making my mouth water.

"It's a little early for pancakes isn't it?" I say as I appear in the open plan kitchen and lounge.
"Mom!" Henry has kind of made it traditional to come running up to me whenever I appear. Gods he's the cutest 12 year old I've ever met.
"Kid! It's been like 7 hours since I've last seen you!" I say as I let him attack me with his hugs, but something feels wrong.
"Kid, give me a minute. " suddenly my vision becomes blurred and I snap my hand to my stomach.

"Mom!"

"Emma?" Regina hurries over but I can't see her. I can't see anything but black. I feel the pain as my head smacks against the floor.
