Redemption

Emma's POV

There was a knock at the door, and everyone got quiet. I looked over and saw Regina looking around at everyone I guess she was counting. Who the hell could this be? Me and Kat went to the door and opened it. "Hello.. umm, does Katherine Swan-Stevens live here?" This blonde woman asked. "That's me, what's the problem?" Kat asked with her voice full of concern. "Hi I'm-" The woman started, "I know who you are. Why are you here? You work with my husband correct? Correct. What's going on?" Kat said. "Right umm.. He got into a car accident, he's at the hospital-" The woman said, "where?" Kat said sternly. "Uh the hospital here." The woman said. I'm still confused on who the hell this is. Kat went back into the house and she put on some shoes. "Katherine you can't go outside in booty shorts and a bra." I sighed. "Oh yeah? Watch me." She said and pushed past me and the woman. "Sorry for the interruption" The woman said and turned to leave. I shrugged and shut the door. "What happened?" Elsa said from the kitchen. I walked to Elsa, "Fredrick got into an accident. He could possibly die I think. He's at the hospital here." I whispered into Elsas ear. Elsa gasped, "should we go and see him?" She asked while putting everyone's dinner on a plate. I helped her, "I have no idea. Kat has to eat because we both know she won't on her own, so we must feed her." Elsa nodded. When Elsa sat down, we began to eat. Ugh the silence is killing me. I looked at Regina, she looked up at me, we looked at Zelena, Zelena looked at Robyn, Robyn looked at Alice, Alice looked at Killian, Killian looked at Robin, Robin looked at Elsa and Elsa looked at everyone at the table. "What the hell is going on? You guys look suspicious and I don't like it." She said taking a bite of her food. We all shook our heads, Killian and Robin finished their food at the same time. "Rob, I'm going to head home." Killian said, "Aww okay. I'll miss you." Robin said and they shared a quick kiss and Robin walked Killian to the door. They hugged then he left. Robin went back downstairs quietly. He must feel lonely and bored when Killian isn't around, It's cute. I finished my food and Regina finished after me. Elsa finished after us, and Robyn and Alice were last. There was another knock at the door. What is wrong with people? "I got this one." Regina said getting up with Elsa. When they opened the door I heard a gasp. "Oh my god." Regina said causing me to look up. They came back with a baby in a basket.

Reginas POV

I saw the baby in a basket and just wanted to cry. This is so cruel! Who would do such a thing? I picked the baby up and checked if it was harmed or anything. The baby started playing with my hair and I smiled. "You're so cute, who could just leave you here all alone?" I said trying to smooth the baby. I took off it's blanket and saw a note fall out of it. I picked it up and read it out loud, "Dear the family of this house, I feel so horrible for leaving the baby here and interrupting your dinner. I just cannot afford to keep him, this is me giving him his best chance. You can name him, I never named him. I hope I did the right choice. And I hope you all make the better choice and keeps him." I finished the note. "Can we keep him? Please.. pretty pretty please" Robyn whined. "I don't know... Emma?" I said looking at Emma to give me an answer. "Yes of course we can. It's a baby, we aren't monsters." She said chuckling. "YAY! I love you!" Robyn said hugging Emma. Even though Zelena is Robyn's mother, she doesn't have time to look after her. And she hates it. So i'm her guardian but she stays with Mamí and I think Zelena feels some type of way about it. Zelena looked at me and she looks hurt. "Zelena.." I started but she just got up and left. "What's wrong with her?" Robyn asked. "It's nothing, don't worry about it." I sighed, "Can you just watch the baby?" I asked handing him over to Robyn. "Uh sure." She said. I walked around to find Zelena. I found her huddled up in the corner of the room she was sleeping in. "Z.." I started but she cut me off, "Please, just leave me alone." She said trying to hold back her tears. I sat next to her and put my head on her shoulder and waited for her to speak. "You get everything. You got the perfect girlfriend, perfect house, you're perfect at your job, you got the perfect father, mine was terrible before he died. You even got the perfect child and not just any child, she's mine. I can't even be here for her the way I'm supposed to be and that fucking sucks. All I wanted was to be here just this once for my baby and I can't even do that. I know she hates me, I would hate me." She said as she started crying. "Z she does not hate you. She brags about you all the time. You're way more successful than I am. Zelena I went to jail you are doing way better than I am. I have an unstable love life, I'm trying to actually figure out who I am and what I want. Z you have it all together, I want that. I'm so proud of you, Robyn is too. She understands why you're away. You're doing it so she can have a good life. I love you so much you're trying your best, with everything that's happened in your life you're thriving." I wiped away the tears scattered on her cheeks. "I love you Gi, so much." I hugged her. "I love you too, never ever forget that." We stood up and walked back out to where everyone was. "What now?" Emma asked looking at me. "First we have to clean the baby up, then we have to take him to the hospital to make sure he's okay medically." I said and Emma nodded. "Can we talk?" She asked getting up. I furrowed my eyebrows and followed her. She pulled me into the front room. " What's wrong?" I asked concerned. "Are you sure we can handle a baby? That's a big step Regina." Emma said. "I've always wanted a family and you know that. And plus, how hard can it be?" I said. "We literally just got together like thirty-six hours ago. And we were fresh out of high school, what do you mean you always wanted a family?" Emma said. "So? Emma this baby needs a home. We are his home now. I will not abandon him the way his mother did, I am not a monster." I stated. "We" was all she said. "What?" I said. "We. You said 'I' and I won't let you do this alone because we're in this together." Emma said, I smiled and kissed her. "Come on, lets clean him. Or.. you can do that." Emma said, "Let's do it together" I said and she nodded. "Robyn hand him over, we're going to bathe him." I said. "Can I come? please, pretty please." She begged, and I gave in. "Fine, anyone else coming?" I asked. "I'm going to the hospital with Elsa." Zelena said, "What's wrong?" I asked. "Oh we're just bringing Kat her dinner." Elsa said and Zelena nodded. "Oh, okay. I hope she's fine." I said smiling. They nodded and left. "Come on Alice, you can come too if you want too." I said. "Sure, why not." Alice said. We all made our way upstairs and into Emma and I's bathroom. "How do we do this Regina?" Emma asked. What she doesn't know how to wash a baby now? "So, I run the water, put soap on him and make sure he's cleaned and then dry him off when I'm done. Have you never washed yourself before or...?" I sassed. "Ha ha very funny." She said rolling her eyes. "What do me and Alice do?" Robyn asked. "You could help me wash him up, Alice can dry him off and Emma can dress him. Sound like a plan?" I asked and they nodded. "Alright lets get down to business." I chuckled.

Katherine POV

"Freddy, why didn't you tell me you were here?" I asked sniffing. "Because Kathy, I wanted to surprise you. And there's no one really ever in Storybrooke." He said. "Why? Why didn't you at least tell someone?" I sniffed again. "I told Elsa. I made her promise to keep my secret though. Please don't be mad at her, just be mad at me." He says breathing heavily. "Baby... baby I'm worried about you. Are you cheating on me?" I asked softly. "Of course not. You know I can't be home everyday and I'm sorry. I was... I was coming to..." He said then stopped breathing and the monitor started beeping crazy. "Oh my God, can I get a doctor?!" I yelled. People came rushing in and I could feel the walls closing in on me. I kept backing up until I hit a wall. "Mrs. Steven.. Mrs Stevens." I heard someone calling me but it was very faint. I felt hands on me, and I smelled Vanilla. Oh yay, Elsa came. Hopefully she can help me calm down. I shut my eyes and slid down the wall, my heart was beating fast and I was crying uncontrollably. Oh not again..
