Chapter 3

Regina was lost for words, she hadn't seen Emma in over a year. She didn't expect her to be standing there. She was caught off guard and that upset her. She huffed, "You aren't seeing him until I know why you're here."

Katherine cleared her throat, "Everyone, why don't we go outside. Come on, let's get some sun."

Belle walked over to Lily and Mulan, "H-Hi, I'm a huge fan."

Mulan licked her lips, "Thank you."

She blushed, "Join me outside? It's not everyday that rockstars visit."

"We'd love too, come on, Snow," Lily smiled softly.

"Coming," Snow said before following them outside.

Emma's eyes never left Regina, she watched her sit down on the couch before sitting next to her, "I know you're upset with me…"

Regina scoffed, "You have no idea. You didn't call, text, dm or anything. You used me then you have the nerve to show up here as if you have any right to see my son."

The blonde swallowed, "I'm sorry Regina, for real. I just knew that if I...opened myself to you that you wouldn't understand this life. You're not like those other girls," she took her hand.

"Then why'd you treat me like one? That hurt," she shook her head before snatching her hand away, "Enough about me. You say you're here for Henry, right? What are you bringing to the table because we don't need you or any more hush money."

"I don't have hush money to give you. My manager paid David off before even telling me about Henry," she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, "Listen, I didn't come here to ruin Henry's birthday so if you want, I'll just go."

"You're giving up? Hm, great. Proving me right, let yourself out—"

"I don't want to but I have no fucking idea what I'm doing, Regina. You've been at this for a year, I don't want to disappoint him or you—"

"I'm disappointed enough! The least you could do is try, you flew all the way here to give up?"

"No but I didn't fly here to be given a mediocre try. I want this Regina, I want him. I will give this parenthood shit 1,000 percent but you have to let me," she took her hands again, "I'm not scared of you Regina. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

"This won't be easy," she shook her head, "You'll only give up and Henry will pay for it."

"I won't give up. I promise. May I meet my son?...our son? Please?"

Regina looked away before nodding, "You coming here...means a lot to me and I know it'll mean a lot to Henry. You took the first step and I can only respect that. Henry deserves a real family. Just know that this is the tiniest possible step that you can take. You won't be taking him and leaving with him and giving him back when you want. He is my son. Don't fuck this up...I'll be right back."

While she waited for Regina, Emma took this time to look around at the party. Fred and Kat had a very nice house, it was decorated strictly for Henry. He had an animal themed party, that much was obvious. They had turned the house into his personal jungle.

•••

Guinevere walked into the studio with a smile on her face before letting her face drop, "Um...why are there only two of you?"

"They're in Chicago," Tink said.

The Royal's manager let her eyebrows furrow, "For what?"

"We don't know, they didn't tell us. They never tell us anything," Merida replied, "Some team we are."

"You guys are a team. Do you have at least an idea…?"

"Emma," Tink said, "It's always Emma."

"I swear one day, I'm going to strangle her. This isn't the time for a fucking vacation," she shook her head before leaving out.

•••

Emma stood and smiled when she saw her best friend's walk back in, "Yo, what happened?"

"Nothing, we chilled outside talked to Belle," Mulan said, "We came back to see how this goes for you."

"We met your kid, Swan. He's awesome," Lily confirmed.

Emma nodded and began looking around, "Where is he?"

"Right here...sorry, I had to wipe his mouth before bringing him in," Regina said as she walked over holding Henry, "Emma, this is Henry, your son."

Emma smiled at him, "Sup kid, can you say hi?"

Regina kissed his head, "Can you tell your mama hi?"

Henry looked at Emma before waving at her and snuggling back into Regina.

The blonde just stared at him before clearing her throat, "Does he sleep a lot? What does he like to eat?"

"He goes to bed every night at 8 o'clock. I had to get him on a schedule because I work during the day now and didn't want him up when I got home because he'd only make me more tired," Regina explained, "He likes to eat apple sauce, nuggets, and veggies, don't you sweet boy?"

Henry giggled as Regina kissed him, he looked at Emma and stopped laughing. He held Regina tighter before hiding his face in her neck. Regina gave the blonde an encouraging look.

Emma licked her lips, "Happy Birthday, I got you some gifts," she told him as she stepped closer, "He doesn't like me does he?"

"Relax, Swan. It's been 30 seconds," Regina chuckled, "Keep talking to him."

"Come on, let's open these gifts," she said before sitting down on the couch as Lily brought over his gifts.

Regina sat on the couch with Henry on her lap, "Let's see what she got you, sweet prince."

Henry watched Emma pull out a small plush giraffe and he reached for it. Emma chuckled, "Oh you like this huh? Giraffes are my favorite," she said before handing it to him but he only whined and reached for her. She smiled softly and gently took him from Regina before placing him on her lap. He nearly snatched the giraffe and hugged it. He looked at Regina and held it out to her.

"Ooh, I see. It's very nice," Regina nodded before looking at Emma, "Trust the process."

"This is so cool," Mulan mumbled to Lily.

"It's surreal, there's a little Emma," Lily replied.

Emma kisses Henry's head as he played, "Oh by the way...Regina, that's my big sister Snow and my best friends."

"Hi," Regina gave a nod.

Snow cleared her throat, "Regina, can we talk really quickly?"

"Sure," she said before standing, "Belle, keep an eye on Henry for me?"

"Of course," she nodded.

Emma tried not to take offense as she listened. She cleared her throat when Snow and Regina left the room, "I have another gift for you, kid."

Regina lead Snow into the kitchen before turning to her, "Should I be worried?"

"No, I just want to make sure that this is as real to you as it is to Emma. She didn't sleep last night…she really wants this to work. I feel like a part of her looks at parenthood as redemption," she explained.

"It's been real to me for a year," she said smugly before clearing her throat and leaning back against the counter, crossing her arms over her chest, "I'll let Emma be a parent to our son. I explained that to her."

Snow stepped next to her before she leaned back and crosses her arms, "Thank you. I appreciate it, what about you two? Any romance in the near future?"

Regina couldn't help but blush, "Oh I see what you're doing here…"

Snow chuckled, "I'm not doing anything. I'm just curious because you're very beautiful and Emma loves beautiful women but she doesn't write songs for any ole girl."

"Well," she blushed more and looked away before sighing, "I don't think I'm her type...I'm probably a buzz kill compared to her wild partying."

"I have a good feeling that she'll be adapting to your lifestyle instead of the other way around," Snow stated, "She's not as bad as everyone makes her seem, ya know?"

"Mm, I'll keep that in mind. Come on, I'm curious to watch her interaction with our son," Regina replied before walking back into the living room in Kat's house. She saw Henry slamming his hands on the mini drum that Mulan got him, she stepped over to Belle and lowly asked, "What did I miss?"

"Emma got him a 14K Gold bracelet and she has a matching one, it's so cute," she nearly squealed.

Regina studied her son before noticing the small bracelet on his tiny wrist that fit perfectly, for two seconds she let the corners of her mouth turn up before clearing her throat, "Okay, I think we should let Henry get back to his guests outside."

"Oh...yeah," Emma nodded before taking the drum from him causing him to whine and lean back into her. She kissed his head softly before handing him to Regina, "Where can we eat?"

"There's food in the kitchen," Belle said before following Regina and Henry outside.

Snow nudged Emma, "I'm going to go with them, okay?"

"Yeah, that's cool," the blonde shrugged before walking into the kitchen with her friends.

"So...how do you feel? You're a mom," Mulan asked.

"It's weird but it feels...right. He's so intriguing to me...it's like our vibes connect or something," Emma shrugged while making herself a plate.

"Well it's a proven fact that children can sense their parents…"

"Really? Do you think he knows?"

"Yeah Emma," Mulan chuckled, "Did you see how he reached for you?"

Lily smiles, "Yeah, that was cool, Swan. So uh Regina...she's looking—"

"She's sexy as fuck," Emma said quickly causing her friends to laugh, "What? She is," she chuckled, "I need that…"

"So get her," Lily shrugged.

The blonde rubbed the back of her neck, "Maybe I should just focus on Henry…"

"Ooh, is someone scared? Wow," Mulan smirked, "Never thought I'd see the day…"

"I'm not scared...it's just—she obviously doesn't like me," she chuckled, "She made it clear that I hurt her feelings and—"

The doorbell rang causing The Royal's to raise their brow curiously, Emma shrugged before going to open the door, "Yo…"

"Hello, I'm Robin. Sorry, we're late. We had to get Henry a gift, Regina invited me," he smiled as his young son stood close to him.

Emma swallowed, "Come in, everyone is in the backyard. So how do you know Regina?"

"Umm we just recently met. I'm planning to take her on a date soon," he wiggled his brows before walking to the backyard.

Emma walked back to the kitchen, "She's going on a date with some dude with no lips."

Lily nearly spit out her Sprite, "Wait what? No way," she laughed.

"Look out the window, that's him with the brown shirt on. I mean who the fuck buys a tee in brown?"

Mulan looked out the window and shrugged, "He has nice hair. Ooh look, Regina is getting in the pool with Henry."

"Geez Emma, she's so hot," Lily chimed in.

"I think Belle is hot," Mulan mumbled.

Emma nodded, "Mm, I think I'm in the mood for a swim," she said.

"Swan, remember that talk Snow gave you? About reacting maturely? Just stay calm," Lily warned.

"Fuck that, I can't let her get out of my grasp," she replied before walking outside pulling off her t-shirt, leaving her in a sports bra and her terry cloth shorts, "Hey, can I join?"

Regina looked up from the water, she swallowed as her eyes roamed over the blondes body. She couldn't speak so she only nodded. When Emma smiled and got in the pool, she cleared her throat, "Kat got him the cutest little floating vest."

"Yeah, it's dope. You look like a big boy," Emma said smiling at Henry causing him to smile and reach for her, she pulled him close before kissing his head, "I love your hair by the way…"

Regina raised her brow, "You noticed?"

"Yeah, you cut it. It's sexy," she stated before licking her lips, "Uh so you're going on a date with that guy...Robin?"

"Is that what he said? That's not true. I didn't confirm anything," Regina scoffed, "You don't need to be jealous, Swan," she smirked.

"I'm not," she shrugged, "I was just curious 'cause if he's going to be around my son, then I'm concerned. He smells like pine."

The brunette snickered covering her mouth, "Be nice, Emma. He won't be around Henry..."

"I am as nice as they come," she winked before floating on her back as she watched Henry lay on her chest, "He's like totally relaxed," she chuckled, "Don's go to sleep dude."

Regina smiled to herself as she watched them. It amazed her how in so little time Henry had grown comfortable with his other parent. Emma brought a certain light to their lives, it was refreshing. If Regina was being honest with herself, she liked Emma, she crushed on Emma, she craved Emma. When she first heard the song that Emma wrote for her, she cried. These are all things that Emma could never know, she wouldn't let the rockstar take advantage of her feelings for her. Some things would have to stay the way they were.

David walked into the backyard with a smile on his face, "Where's my nephew? I have gifts."

Regina raised her brow before frowning and getting out of the pool, "We need to talk."

"About what? You look upset," he replied before glancing at Emma exiting the pool with Henry, "Now I see why…"

"You're unbelievable David. How dare you?!"

"Um Regina, maybe we should take this inside," Katherine said.

"No. Fuck this. Everyone can leave," Regina said before shoving her brother and walking over to Henry and Emma, she took the boy before storming into the house.

David fumed and looked at Emma, "You! This is all your fault."

"I didn't do anything," Emma scoffed, "You're the liar. Never again will you keep me away from my son."

"Wanna bet?"

"Bet your last breath…"

David glared at her, "She doesn't need people like you ruining her life! I am protecting her!"

"You don't even know me!"

"Guys please! Stop it. It's my fault, David," Belle stepped in, "I invited her…"

"That wasn't a crime," Emma replied.

"The hell it wasn't. You don't belong here Emma, you are a virus. A toxic rockstar who needs a time out when she gets too wasted and totals a Maserati," David replied, "Regina is a good person, she is a strong person. We know struggle, you have had everything handed to you, you can't teach Henry anything useful."

Emma swallowed before glancing at her sister, "Go tell Henry goodbye, we're leaving," she stated before walking over to her friends.

David gave a satisfied smirk but when he saw Snow walk into the house, his heart fluttered. He walked over to Katherine, "Who's that?"

"Emma's older sister, her name is Snow," she shrugged.

"Snow...she's beautiful," he confirmed.

"Super pretty, too bad you're a dickhead to her sister, huh?"

David scoffed, "Kat, what am I supposed to do? Let her control Henry's future?"

"That's not your choice, David. Regina is Henry's mother, she has control over his future and who she wants in it. You just better pray that you're one of those people," she replied before walking inside.

When Kat entered the house, she noticed that Emma was sitting on the couch alone in the living room. She entered the room and cleared her throat, "What's on your mind?"

Emma stood and looked at Kat, "R-Regina went upstairs but I just wanted to tell Henry goodbye and apologize," she said as her voice cracked, she handed Kat a birthday card, "It has my cell phone number, hotel information, and some money...I-I know she probably doesn't want it but it's there if she needs it."

"Emma...you don't have to leave. Regina is just upset," she replied.

"Yeah I know but David was...right. I'm toxic. Please, give that card to Regina. Tell her to call me," Emma said before quickly slipping out of the front door.

"Have you lost your minds?!"

Emma rolled her eyes as Gwen yelled at them via FaceTime, "I won't apologize for leaving to meet my son. You know my son, right? The one that you hid from me?"

"Emma, it was all just a misunderstanding," Guinevere stated.

"Sounds like you tried to silence and hide Regina," Mulan pitched in.

"Swan, deserves her family. You only care about status and money," Lily stated.

"No! That's not true. I care about all of you. I won't apologize for wanting you to have a good reputation," Guinevere scoffed, "Emma, we can discuss this more when you get back home."

"No, we won't because you're fired," Emma shrugged, "I've already contacted our lawyer."

"What? Absolutely not. We have a contract, you aren't shit without me!"

Lily took the phone from Emma, "I was hoping that you assumed that we needed you. Now, kicking you out on your ass will feel so much better. Say it with me Gwen, FIRED!"

"I won't be easily removed," she replied.

"We'll see about that Gwen," Lily replied before hanging up.

Emma groaned, "Ugh, finally. We're free!"

Mulan laughed before laying next to Emma, "Guys…?"

Lily laid next to them as well, leaving Emma in the middle, "Yeah?"

"Yeah?"

"We have a little life to take care of now," Mulan stayed.

Emma smiled, blushing, "Yo, that's so crazy. He's so cool. He loves music and animals, he's like...my dream child."

"So you know things have to change right?"

"Yeah, I know and they will. For Henry, I'll do anything. I just hope his mother lets me see him again. I really want to learn how to take care of him, ya know? What he likes, what he doesn't like," she explained.

"Regina has to let you, right?"

"No, she actually doesn't. Let's just hope that we made a good first impression," the blonde sighed.

The next morning Emma jumped awake due to her phone ringing loudly on the hotel nightstand, she groaned reaching for it, "Mm, hello?"

"Hello, good morning Emma," Regina said.

Emma quickly sat up, "Regina," she blushed, "Hi," she cleared her throat, "Hey, good morning. How are you?"

She sighed, "I'm quite alright. Your son woke me up at 5am this morning. How are you?"

"I'm cool. Hoping that I can see him again…"

"Well I read your letter, I have no problem with you spending time with him. You impressed me yesterday, I'll admit. I need you to understand that he won't always be as chill as he was yesterday," she explained.

"I understand and I'm up for the challenge," Emma replied.

"Hm, well if you want, you can come over and we can have breakfast together," Regina said.

"Yes. I'll be there as soon as I can. Can I bring my sister?"

"Sure, I'll text you the address," she said before hanging up.

Emma hopped up, "Yes!"

Snow groaned, "I'm trying to sleep."

"Nope, wake up. We're having breakfast with Henry and Regina," she smiled.

Snow sat up, "Oh how lovely, just let me shower."

•••

Emma knocked on the door, "Whew, I'm anxious."

Snow chuckled, "I'm very proud of you, Emma."

She smiled at her older sister, "Thanks, I'm proud of myself."

Regina opened the door, "Hi, Welcome. Come in."

They walked in, Snow spoke, "You stay here alone?"

"Yup, it's all mine," Regina smiled, "Henry is sleeping. I put him down for a bit, I needed a breather."

Snow nodded before sitting down as Emma looked around, "He's a handful, huh?"

"Yes," Regina chuckled, "But he's amazingly sweet."

"Well that doesn't surprise me," she replied before glancing at Emma, "Um unfortunately, I'll be leaving you two to it. I'm meeting up with an old friend," she blushed.

"What? You didn't mention that," Emma finally chimed in, "Who?"

"That's for me to know and for you not to know. I just wanted to make sure everything was alright before I left," Snow said before kissing Emma's cheek, "Your home is lovely Regina, kiss Henry for me," she smiled before leaving out.

Emma rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry about her, she's–"

"She has a life and you can't handle it," Regina teased.

Emma sat on the couch, "I can, it's just...my mom is very sick...Snow is supposed to be taking care of her not dating."

The brunette turned off the stove before walking over to the couch and sitting next to Emma, "I'm so sorry to hear that…"

The blonde looked at her, "If I lose my mom, I-...I'll lose myself."

"Take it from someone who has already lost her mother...time does help but it doesn't heal. I don't think I'll ever get over losing them but there's solace...," she took Emma's hands, "At some point. You on the other hand, still have a mother. Cherish her."

Emma locked eyes with her, "Thanks, Regina. Can I ask you something?"

"Of course," she removed her hands and looked away a bit.

"Did you enjoy making Henry?"

Regina blushed deeply, "What kind of question is that at a time like this?"

The blonde smirked and pulled Regina onto her lap, "It's a question that I want you to answer."

She looked down at Emma, "Swan, sex with you is unmatched but it won't be happening again," Regina rolled her eyes before lifting up and walking back into the kitchen.

Emma furrowed her eyebrows, "Well...why not?"

"Well for starters, I would like to keep our coparenting less complicated. Also, I've lost all desire for meaningless sex," she shrugged.

"Woah, sex with me is not meaningless and how would it complicate things?"

"Can we change the topic?"

"No, tell me Regina," Emma scoffed.

Henry started crying from the other room, Regina let out a sigh of relief, "I'll be right back," she said before slipped out of the room.

Emma sighed before standing up awaiting the arrival of her son, when she saw him, she smiled, "Hey sleepy," she said approaching him and Regina.

A tired Henry waved before snuggling into Regina, "He's a bit cranky, teething isn't fun. Are you hungry, my prince?"

He nodded before looking at Emma, she locked eyes with him, "Sup kid, you remember me?"

Regina passed him off to Emma, when Henry reaches for her, she smiled, "So Emma, how long did you plan on staying?"

"For a few days, I can come back but I want to get back to Long Island to check on my mom," she replied.

"New York? I thought you were from Cali," Regina raised her eyebrows.

"Nah. I'm from Hempstead," Emma nodded before kissing Henry's cheek, "What's up? Hmm? You're so cute, kid and you smell good," she chuckled.

"Thanks to me of course," his other mother replied.

"We should go to the zoo or something, if that's okay with you," Emma suggested.

Regina smiled, "We'd love to."

•••

"Just a second!"

Belle rushed to the door and opened it with a gasp, "Hi," she breathed out as she blushed, "What are you doing here?"

Mulan gave a small smile, "Hi. I'm sorry to drop by unexpectedly. I got your address from, Regina. I wanted to hangout if you're not busy, my flight leaves tonight...Lily bailed on me for some chick so," she chuckled nervously, "Here I am."

"Um, of course I don't mind. Please come in," she smiled, "I feel like…"

"It's not a dream," she chuckled as she walked in, "You don't have to fan out," she stated as she sat down on the couch, "So you have this place to yourself?"

"Yeah. I've worked hard for it," Belle said as she closed the door before sitting next to Mulan.

"I like your accent," Mulan blurted out.

Belle blushed harder than she wanted to, "Thank you. So what would you like to? I could cook for you, we could take a walk. I'm sorry, I just wasn't expecting this."

She smirked, "You'll cook for me?"

"Yes, what would you like?"

"Surprise me," Mulan licked her lips, "I could just eat you instead."

Belle's heart sped up, she blushed deeply, "As tempting as that is, it's a no," she said before going into the kitchen, "Go to Hulu on the tv, find a movie."

"Yeah, sure," she replied, "Oh I will have you," she mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Huh? Oh nothing. So you're in college, right?"

"Yes, History major," Belle nodded.

"Why history? Other than the fact that you like it," she chuckled as she walked into the kitchen.

She pondered on it, "You can't know where you're going without knowing where you came from…"

"Agreed," Mulan hopped on top of the counter and watched Belle cook.

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"About The Royal's or me?"

"Both," she replied.

"Go for it," Mulan nodded.

"Where are you from?"

"San Diego," she replied.

"Favorite Royals song?"

Mulan pondered, "The song Emma wrote for Regina or Magnitude."

Belle gasped, "Magnitude is my favorite."

"No way," she chuckled.

"Seriously," the Australian nodded.

Mulan hopped off of the counter and hugged Belle from behind, "Baby, let's talk about it. Let's see each other's view. Go ahead and lose your attitude and let's search our love's magnitude," she sang softly in the woman's ear.

Belle blushed and swooned, "What are your intentions Mulan? We held one conversation yesterday and you show up on my doorstep."

"From that conversation I learned that you were single and that you were beautiful, I'm a go getter," she shrugged, "Plus, you haven't kicked me out yet so I'm taking that as a good sign."

•••

"Oooh," Henry pointed at the Giraffe's.

Emma chuckled as she held him close, "How cool are those? Our favorites."

Regina took pictures of them, "He's going to be so attached to you now, I hope you're ready for that."

"Oh yeah, I can handle this. I promise," she nodded before taking a selfie with Henry and kissing his cheek. People were staring, some even spoke and asked for pictures but for the most part, people let Emma enjoy her time at the Zoo. She glanced at Regina, "I bet this is all a bit strange for you."

"Everyone staring, yes. I don't like a lot of attention, Emma," she explained.

"I love it," Emma shrugged, "Let's me know I did something right, people care about me. They didn't turn their backs on me."

"You had a DUI, not a murder charge. Your real fans and supporters will always shine through in the end. I'm proud of you, you're successful," Regina said, hoping to make Emma feel better.

The blonde smiled, "Thank you," she kissed her cheek.

"Oh my goodness," a blonde said as she approached them, "Regina Mills?"

The brunette furrowed her eyebrows, "Elsa?"

"Hi," the blonde hugged her, "How are you?"

"I'm good," she hugged back, "I thought you moved to LA…"

"I did," she nodded, "But I'm home for a while, my family is here as well but I wanted to take a look around for myself," she glanced at Emma before doing a double take, "Aren't you Emma Swan?"

"Yeah, Hey," she held out her hand.

Elsa blushed and shook it, "I'm Elsa."

"It's nice to meet you," Emma replied.

"Are you two dating?"

"No! Of course not," Regina scoffed, "We have a child together, that's Henry."

"Oh shit," Elsa's eyes went wide, "Score," she nudged Regina before smiling at Henry, "You're adorable," she locked eyes with Emma, "But so are you, I loved your album by the way. You should totally call me sometimes," she held out her card, "I act and model in Hollywood."

Emma took the card, "Good to know. If you don't mind, I'd like to get back to our family time."

"Sure thing," Elsa nodded, "See you around, Regina," she said before walking off.

Regina rolled her eyes, "She is so phony."

"How do you know her?"

"College," she shrugged, "She dropped out to follow her dreams."

"What about you? When are you going to follow your dreams?"

Regina blushed at the question, "Um those are on hold, I have a son to feed."

"I have money though, I'll help out," Emma stated.

"I already told you that I don't want your money, Emma," she replied.

"How do you expect me to be his other parent and not help you financially? Let go of your pride Regina—"

She snapped, "We don't need you! I don't need anyone, I can raise him on my own like I have been."

Emma swallowed while she nodded, "You're right, I get it," she handed Henry back to Regina before sliding her hands in her pockets, staying quiet.

Regina held Henry as he began dozing off, she looked at Emma, "I'm sorry...it's just between you and my brother, I'm overwhelmed. Listen, I understand that you want this to work but you're pushing hard as hell."

"No, I get it," she nodded, "Today was fun, I'm going to head back to my hotel."

"Emma, don't get in your feelings," Regina scoffed.

"I'm not, seriously. I'll back off," she sighed, "Get home safe, alright? I'll uber from here, just call me when I can see him again," she kissed his head before kissing Regina's cheek, she started to walk away.

Regina sighed, "Emma!"

The blonde kept walking...
