chapter 22

They arrive at the Mayor's house. Regina opens the front door to find Emma escorting Henry home. Henry runs inside.

Regina nods slightly. "Thank you."
Emma puts her hands in her Jean pockets feeling a little uncomfortable "No problem"
Regina folds her arms across her stomach " He seems to have taken quite a shine to you." whe says in a gentle tone.
Emma laughs nervously. "yeah" she shrugs. " You know it seems kind of crazy. Yesterday was my birthday. And—when I blew out the candle on this cupcake I bought myself, I actually made a wish. That I didn't have to be alone on my birthday. And then Henry showed up.." she says smiling to herslef at the coincidence.
Regina interrupts Emma "  I hope there's no misunderstanding here." she says sternly.
Emma looks at her "  I'm sorry?"
Regina opens up her arms to show her emotions. She throws them around a bit. "Don't mistake all of this as invitation back into his life." she gestured to the house behind her meaning Henry.
Emma looks at her "Oh.."

Regina walks forward slighty. She holds up her index finger. " Miss Swan, you made a decision ten years ago. And in the last decade, while you've been—well, who knows that you've been doing—I've changed every diaper, soothed every fever, endured every tantrum. You may have given birth to him, but he is my son." she speaks with a hard cold tone.  Pronouncing every word clearly.

Emma backs up a little shocked at the change of tone.  "I was not--"
Regina takes a quick step forward. " No." she snaps " You don't get to speak—you don't get to do anything. You gave up that right when you tossed him away. Do you know what a closed adoption is? It's what you asked for. You have no legal right to Henry, and you're gonna be held to that. So I suggest you get in your car, and you leave this town." she points to the yellow bug. She stands directly in front of Emma " Because if you don't, I will destroy you if it is the last thing I do. Goodbye, Miss Swan." she makes her point very clear. Using a very strict tone as If she was taking to a child. She turns around and begins to walk back into her house.

Emma raised her head slightly and narrowed her eyes as she asked the brunette " Do you love him?"
Regina turns around in disbelief. "excuse me?" she asks staring the blonde down.
Emma repeats her question a bit clearer. " henry." she says nodding her head in the direction of his room." Do you love him?" she asks louder.
Regina just looks at her blankly " Of course I love him.".  She tells her honestly. she shuts the door

 Emma is visibly troubled. In henrys room, Henry lies on his bed. Regina takes his book without him noticing, and stands watching herself hold it in a mirror on the wall as the scene ends. Her eyes dark as the colour black. She was raging.
