Third chance at love

Magical outburst

Regina was truly worried. Her family life was distant and Regina wished it would end. Speaking to Henry was becoming more and more difficult especially when she couldn't always visit. Regina was now five months pregnant and as much as she loved going out for walks she was now restricted. Facilier and Mama Odie made sure she rested as she was much bigger and simple things like walking was extremely hard but Regina was always determined get on with life especially when a great day planned. She missed her family but what worried her the most was her granddaughter. Regina could see that Lucy wasn't herself as she was more quiet around her. Regina told Lucy that the family would be okay but as the months past everything was far from okay. However today Regina was hoping she could change Lucy's mood by taking her mind of the family stress. She had planned a stroll through the forest with the horses and visit their favourite place by the lake. She hoped maybe Lucy would open up to her about the things she was feeling and apologise for what she put Lucy through mentally. She loved Lucy to the moon and back, hurting Lucy wasn't on her list but she knew she had and she just had to fix it. She needed to find away make it up to her. After along discussion, Henry and Ella had allowed Regina to take Lucy for the little trip but wished for her to be back just before dinner. 

" Regina are you sure you want to go horseback riding? You do realise your five months pregnant right, you can't be over working yourself." Raphael said as he watched Regina get ready. Rolling her eyes Regina wasn't in the mood to her boyfriend's 'are you sure' speech. Now that she was further along in her pregnancy Raphael became more and more protective of her, Regina loved it in the beginning but now she was starting to feel a little smothered. Regina knew he meant well but sometimes she wished he could just lay back just a bit. " Raphael I will be fine I promise you. If I feel uneasy or tired I will stop." Pulling Raphael closer so that he was standing in front of her Regina kissed him on lips lovingly. " Raphael I know your worried about me and the babies but I promise you I will be fine. I will be back around dinner time and I will take a long well deserved nap, okay." Regina said as she placed another kiss on his soft lips. Slightly pulling away form the warm embrace they were in, Raphael placed a hand on Regina's growing belly. Rubbing her stomach Raphael felt a small flutter of a kick on his palm which made him smile. He knew the babies were strong just their mother but he could help anxious. In a couple of months he was going to be a father and they only thing on his mind was to keep Regina and the twins safe no matter what. However horseback riding was sending alert signs in his mind. He knew Regina well enough that her stubbornest wouldn't change and Raphael could only pray nothing serious would happen. " Fine... but please take the journey slow." 

Lucy couldn't help but feel excited about her day. Her Abuela was coming to the castle so they both could go on their day trip. Lucy couldn't believe it as her parents hadn't let Regina be with her alone for anything but today it was going to be just them. Together. Quickly getting ready Lucy dashed to put on her favourite riding coat as she was slightly late for meeting Regina in the Castle's main foyer. Checking her single plait in the mirror for any imperfect, once fixed Lucy was ready for her trip. Before Lucy left her bedroom she began to notice her hands were shaking uncontrollably. " Oh...Not again....No not now." Lucy said to herself with frustration. Ever since her magical outburst Lucy couldn't control it and as the weeks went by it was getting harder to hide it. Even people within the castle was beginning to notice that odd things were happening around the castle halls and rooms. Just yesterday Lucy had manged to set fire to the hall curtains by accident due to losing one of her stuff animals. However nobody notice it was her who set the ablaze as they blamed the intensity of the sun. Lucky enough the shaking came to a stop and Lucy began to relax. Lucy knew this had to stop before something serious happen. Not wanting to worry about it right now Lucy put that thought to the back of her mind and left her bedroom.

Entering the castle Regina waited in the foyer for Lucy. They had planned to meet up around ten in the morning to start their little day trip. It wasn't long before Lucy came running out of the corridor and into the foyer. " Good morning Abuela!!" Lucy with a wide smile on her face. " Good morning Lucy. How have you been?" Regina said as she carefully hugged her granddaughter. Lucy's Smile quickly vanished. " Kind of Lonely." Lucy whispered to herself. " What was that Lucy?" Regina said as she just about heard her. Quickly pulling a fake smile Lucy looked back at her Abuela. " I said I've be  good...I'm just so happy your finally here. How are you and the babies?" Lucy said as she glanced her Abuela's large stomach. Lucy could tell it wouldn't be long before she would get to meet her new aunties or uncles who would be strangely enough younger then her but nothing ever was normal in her family. " We are fine, apart from restless nights as they like to do cartwheels and kicks." Regina smiled as her Granddaughter who looked a bit more happier today. She hated seeing Lucy down so hearing her laugh and smile really lifted Regina spirits. Reaching the stables Lucy and Regina got their horses ready and once prepared they headed of to the forest for beautiful stroll.
