Rotten Souls

part 20

"This is my son!"
Both Regina and Emma. Then they looked at each other awkwardly.
"I see you two are..."
"No!"

Emma yelled at Neal before he managed to finish his sentence. Regina stared at her and rolled her eyes. They were supposed to be a couple. To give it a chance and see how far it can goes. And after the first difficulty Emma denies Regina being her lover.

Regina scratched her forehead and cleared her voice.
"It's a big story. I'm Henry's adoptive mother. I raised him, and Emma is his biological mother."

Neal smiled broadly realising that the two women are not a couple. It was clear that the reason he came here was to earn Emma back. Henry was confused looking at Emma and Regina. Emma was looking so uncomfortable and panicked inside.

Regina looked pretty calm but Henry knew her blood was boiling inside of her.
"Do you always have to emphasize who raised Henry?" Emma asked Regina and rolled her eyes.

"Yes. Clearly creating the form of a kid was pretty easy miss swan. But creating a good character is something really hard that I managed to do without any help."

"Let me remind you that Henry's childhood years must be shit."
The atmosphere was slowly changing. Regina eyes had turned to purple. A little purple fire was rising inside her eyes. Her body tender, her voice harsh and strong, she was ready for a fight.

Emma was scAred of Regina deep inside of her. Neal was back and She could understand that this hurt Regina but she couldn't let her lover to humiliate her in front of Neal.

Henry run and stood between them. He held Regina's hand and Emma's.
"STOP! Can you please stop fighting all the time?"
He pleaded and both Regina and Emma stopped looking at each other like they were about to start  war world III.

Regina fixed her hair and caressed her little bump.
"Its getting late. I think you should both leave and continue your little reunion party somewhere else."
"You're kicking me out?"

Emma asked. She felt like a piece of her heart had just teared up. Her heart was pounding so fast that she couldn't hear Regina's words clear.

"Your call swan. " Regina answered in a cold look. "It was nice to meet you sir."
She added and looked at Neal with a fake smile on her face.

Henry was about to speak when Emma nodded him to stop.
"Henry please go to your room. We'll talk later." Henry bowed down his head and run to his room worried about his mums.

"Where am I supposed to stay?"
Emma asked herself a little bit louder that she wanted to.
"I'm pretty sure granny will offer you an amazing room in her hotel."
Regina answered. Her eyes watering slowly, and her voice cracking each time she opened her mouth and spoke.

"You can stay with me Emma. We can share the room."
Regina rolled her eyes once again.
"Yeah.. thank you Neal. Let's go."
Emma exchanged a furious look with Regina and walked out of the house teared apart.

Regina kicked the door furiously and threw her heels on the wall. One fireball appeared on her hand and she threw it on the wall across her. Hot tears running down her cheeks, her cheeks red coloured like she was about to explode.

With one move of her hand she grabbed a glass of wine and threw it on the mirror across her. A thousands pieces of glass fell down on the floor making a horrible sound while cracking in tiny pieces.

She took a deep breath and sobbed. Henry's bedroom door opened and Henry came downstairs with slight steps and approached his mother. He sat next to her on the floor and rubbed her back. She couldn't stop Her tears. The only thing she could spell was:

"Please get back to your room kid. I'll clean up the mess and get to sleep." She sounded so exhausted.
"Maybe you should talk to Emma."
"Now you're giving me advice for my love life?"

She raised her eyebrow and uncovered her face. Henry approached her face with his little hand and wipped away his mother's tears.

"Yes. If it hurts you so much losing her you should try to win her back."
"No kid. I'm tired of trying to win people's trust and love. "

She stood up grabbed her heels and with one movement of her hand the entire living room became clean and perfectly decorated again. No signs of broken glasses anymore, not even a sing of something burnt on on the wall across her.

She got upstairs and locked in her room.
In the meantime Emma was walking around storybrooke with Neal enjoying that full of stars sky. She loved walks under the bright moon with a loving person.

"When did you two get back together for the first time?"
He asked and broke the temporary silence that had started to annoy Emma's ears.  Emma looked at him and smiled slightly.

"How can you know?"
"She was devastated when you left. You're devastated too. The way you look at each other, even the way your blood boils for each other showed me how crazy you're for Regina."

Emma smiled listening to her former lover describing her relationship as something so strong and powerful. The truth was she really loved Regina more than anything.

She learned to accept the mayor the way she was. She found her true love the night she came over saying she's pregnant. Emma accepted the fact that a baby who was not hers, she would willingly raise it as it is.

"I am... but it's really hard to deal with her bitchy attitude all the time. "
"Listen I came here to earn you back. But since you're in love with someone else, living your life with your son Henry, your love and a baby on the way, looks like I have no business here. I don't wanna mess up your life. So I'll leave tomorrow to give you space."

"No no. I can't let you go without knowing that...."
She was about to say! The words were about to slip her mouth and reach Neal's ears. But something stopped her. It wasn't fear, it wasn't nerves, it wasn't lack of hope... it was the sound of a shotgun.

She turned around her head quickly to see a form half covered by the shadows of the night walking with the barely towards them. She couldn't see the face. It was a man for sure. Short hair, a green jean covered in blood, and a white shirt covered in blood too.

His pacing was becoming slower and slower. Emma screamed at him to wait and run closer to him. Her eyes wide, her mouth shaking, and her eyes watering.
"Robin?"
She spelled and the man lost his consciousness and fell on the road...
