Part 76

Regina held Reign in her hand as her and Violet walked to Zelena's baby shower. Violet held two presents, once from Regina and her family and one from Violet and Henry. They soon arrived at Granny's, Zelena stood in the center moving around a few decorations, her stomach was swollen and looked like a cantaloupe. She wore a pink dress that formed around her stomach. Regina looked around Granny's, everything was covered in pink, pink balloons, pink banners, pink everything. "I could barf with all this pink" Regina looked disgusted at all the pink in the room. "Awe come on sis you don't like pink?" She shook her head "I hate it" Zelena smiled. "Here let me hold Reign and you can put up the rest of the decorations, my back hurts a little. "Are you sure you need more decorations? It looks like there is plenty" Regina looked at the mass load of decorations around the restaurant. "I'm sure" Zelena sat down in one of the booths and held Reign in her lap while Regina continued to pin up decorations. Violet sat beside of Zelena in the booth. "Your looking beautiful Violet" Zelena smiled at Violet "you do too, your glowing so much" Violet smiled and gazed up at Zelena whose face looked like it was glowing. Zelena smiled "have you ever held a baby?" Zelena looked down at Reign "no, I haven't I never hold Reign I'm afraid I might drop her" Zelena shook her head "you won't, here you need to have some sort of practice" Violet shook her head "I'm just really paranoid that I might hurt her, I feel like once I hold my baby that I will just know I guess. I just can't right now, I can't explain it" Violet shook her head. Zelena smiled "it's fine, you probably don't know this but I was pregnant once before and I was scared out of my mind. I knew that I could do it if Regina didn't take my baby away but I just felt like I would let her down or hurt her. But then when that baby was born I knew that I could do it and when Whale didn't give me my baby once I gave birth to her I was crushed literally it felt like my heart just broke into a billion pieces. I knew that my daughter needed her mother and that I would know what to do and I did, but in the end it wasn't meant to be and I lost her. But you got this Violet you have a lot of people to support you and no one will take you baby. You will have an instant connection with that baby once it is in your arms I know it I may not have gotten to hold my baby at first but when I held her for the first time it was the best feeling in the world, it felt like I was complete." Violet looked at her in awe "I hope I feel that way" Violet smiled "I know you will" Zelena squeezes Violets arm. Regina stepped down off the ladder, in shock she done that to her sister. "Oh my gosh Zelena, I'm so sorry" tears were in Regina's eyes. Zelena's eyes widened "oh no! Regina I didn't mean it like that you were doing what seemed best." Zelena ran over to Regina and hugged her "hey, it's alright I wasn't trying to hurt you" Regina nodded "I know it's just hearing that, that hurts I know what it's like to not hold your baby right after they are born. I'm so sorry" Regina holds on to Zelena. "Hey, it's alright that was eons ago" Zelena pulled Regina off of her and looked her in the eye "we are all alright now okay" Regina nodded and wiped her eyes. "Are the decorations fine?" Zelena nodded "yes of course, now let's get this party started" Zelena smiled and guided Regina to a chair. Soon people came in, people came up to Zelena and congratulated her and such. Once everyone was in Granny's Regina carried all of the presents everyone had brought for Zelena over to Zelena's chair. Zelena began to open the presents, some people gave her diapers or wipes, onesies or blankets. Soon there was only Regina's and Violets left. Zelena picked up Violets "it's from Violet" Zelena opened it and pulled out what was inside, a emerald green onesie with black leggings, black polished shoes and an emerald green headband along with a little passy that had Wicked written on the top. "Awe Violet this is adorable!" Zelena looked at the outfit and smiled, she sat it down and the table and grabbed the last present, "it's from Regina" Zelena opened the present, inside was an envelope. Zelena opened it and began to tear up. "Thank you, so much" she said in between tears. Zelena read the letter fully, it read. "Dear my little niece, this is aunt Regina. I wanted to write this letter for you for when you are about to leave your parents and go off to college or go on an adventure. I want you to know that your mother is the best person in the world and that she has been through so much, she might not tell you her story because she is ashamed of it but it makes her who she is. She might have changed by the time your old enough to remember her but she is funny, sarcastic and wicked. You may have magic just like your mother and I or you might not but it is a gift and your mother might not use it too much around you for most of your life. I just want you to know that your mother is truly amazing I know you are probably doubting it right now, which most people do. Your mother fighted so hard to get where she is right now. Aunt Regina loves you with all of her heart and will alway, always be there with you wherever you are if it be physical or spiritual I will be there. I love you mini greenie, love Regina" tears poured down Zelena's face as she finished the letter. She closed the letter and put it back in the envelope and sealed it. "I will keep this for her and give it to her at just the right moment" Zelena smiled, Regina nodded her head. The party continued, they played a few games and ate a bit before people began to leave. Soon the only people that were left were Regina, Violet, Reign, and Zelena. They began to take down decorations and they were soon finished. Zelena transported home by magic and Regina carried Reign home, walking beside of Violet.
