My Mother's Bestfriend (Sequel)

1

I know you guys want swanqueen and it will be canon it for now it will be light dragonqueen. I wanted Regina to be with a woman. Just because that's my personal choice. Sorry sorry sorry. It's for the sake of the story. Regina won't fully move on she's just someone who's filling a spot. Okay? I hope you're not too mad. And Happy Pride Month to all from the #LGBTQ+ you're all welcome and no matter what anyone says you do matter and it's not wrong. Love is love.

Regina's POV

It's been three months since Emma left. Three months since the love of my life left for the army. Saying I miss her is an understatement to how I feel. Her parents were shocked that she left. Never thought she would actually go. Thought she couldn't leave me and Henry. I haven't told anyone I'm pregnant. I haven't even went to the doctor. I know I should. But I just. I don't feel moving. I get letters from Emma. Of course I write back but it's not the same as talking face to face. The house is empty. Henry kind of lost his smile. He rarely smiles anymore. I honestly think he's depressed I'm not sure. But it's scary.

Emma's POV

"Swan you've got mail." I smile and get the letter from them.

"Is that from your girl?" Harry asks and I nod seeing Regina Mills on it. I open it and I smile and start reading.

Hi Emma, Where do I start. I'm not going to say I miss you because I don't want to sit here and cry while writing this. The house is so empty without your constant jokes and laughter. I'm going to cut the chase. I think Henry has depression. Or a form of it. He rarely smiles at me. He doesn't talk to me like he used to. He's angry and sometimes I see him crying playing with his Emmy
dinosaur. It's sad watching him fall down this path because I am too and I don't want to be there. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I don't even sleep in our room. I think I'm going to move. Too many memories. I don't know when you'll get this or if you do but I love you. I do. I really do Em.

I look down feeling the tears in my eyes.

"What's wrong Emma?" Jacinda asks.

"My girlfriend thinks our son is going into depression. He stopped talking she said he doesn't even smile. She said he cries playing with the Emmy toy I gave him." I close my eyes. I'm doing this to my family. My lovies.

"It's going to be okay. It's always hard. My husband and kids hated it but eventually it got easier."

"I hope it does."

Regina's POV

Henry smiled for the first time in nine months. Since Emma's been gone. I'm about to give birth. Emma and Mary and David and even my parents don't know. I haven't told anyone. I've avoided everyone. I have a PA taking over my classes until I give birth. I work from home. Helping with what I can. But he smiled. And I cried. There's this girl. Her name is Mal. I don't even know what I'm into anymore. I've never liked woman. Henry likes playing with her. She's nice to him and a good friend to me. She's the only one who knows I'm pregnant. I know what you're thinking and no I didn't sleep with her. We are friends. She's admitted to liking me. She likes me a lot. But she didn't want to loose me as a friend. She said she'll tone it down and won't act on her feelings and she knows I'm dating someone. I don't talk about Emma to her. I can't. It's too hard. I get the mail for today and I see a letter from Emma.

Regina, I miss you. God 9 months feels like years. Something happened these past months. A new girl joined. She's brunette and tiny. Like you. She tried to kiss me and for a second I was gonna kiss her back. That may make you hate me and I didn't kiss her but I wanted to. Because I realized how badly I missed feeling that. Happiness with kissing. Your kisses made me happy. And I wanted to but I knew I could never come back if I cheated on you and I don't want to. It's been hard as hell. These girls here and pretty not gonna lie to you and I miss you more than ever. I have needs but I can handle that without cheating on you. My hand works fine. I hope Henry's okay. I hope he's slowly forgetting me. Because I can't imagine seeing how hurt and sad he is over me baby. I can't get that fucking image of my crying baby boy out of my head. And is did it to him. I have to go. I'm needed but I love you and I love Henry. And I miss both of you like hell. And if you decide to move on. I won't be mad. You can't wait forever.

I look down. Is she giving me permission to date. Why would I? Who say that?! There's a knock on my door and I get up and get it. I see Mal and she smiles and hugs me. I give a small smile.

"What's wrong Regina?"

"I just got a letter from Emma."

"You okay?"

"I'm confused and a little hurt. Come in." She walks in and she smiles at my stomach and I roll my eyes. I close the door and waddle into the living room where I sit down.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"No."

"Do you mind if I read it?"

"Go ahead." I hand her the letter and I sigh leaning back. I rub my stomach and let her read it.

"Why did she tell you to move on?"

"Beats me. Emma was an idiot before she met me. She doesn't mean it right? I mean she doesn't really want me to move on. Right?"

"I can't answer that Regina."

"Yeah I gues- AHHHH!" I close my eyes in pain and Mal looks at my full of concern.

"What's going on? Are you okay?"

"I think I'm going into labor."

"Oh my god let's go. Now!"
