Fairy Tale World
"Mother, I loved him!"
"Enough!" Cora screamed as she grabbed Regina by the shoulders and hoisted her up. "Now clean yourself up! For tomorrow you are to be Queen!"
Regina's eyes widened as she stood there, stunned. She never wanted this. She never craved power the way her Mother had. The only thing she wanted was Daniel and now, thanks to her mother, she couldn't even have that.
Cora ran a hand through her slightly disheveled hair and nodded towards the body of her lover. "Take care of it."
Without another word, Cora turned and stormed out of the bar, shutting the doors behind her.
The moment the barn doors latched, Regina collapsed on the ground, her body shaking with sobs, one hand wrapped protectively around her stomach the whole time. After several long minutes when she was far too exhausted to sob anymore, Regina wiped her tears away and crawled over towards Daniel and laid down beside him, holding him in her arms as silent tears made her way down her face.
She wanted to give up. Lay there with him until the end of days. She felt numb. If it wasn't for the tiny life inside her, the most precious gift Daniel had given her; she would have taken the dagger in his waistband and slit her own throats. End her misery so she could be with him.
But she couldn't. She wouldn't give up on Daniel like that. He wouldn't want her to give up on life because of something her wretched mother had done.
But the longer she laid there with him; a viscous thought began to twirl in her mind. Daniel had gotten her pregnant. The first time they had made love just over two months ago under their tree, he gave her a child. Regina had found out a week ago and had told him after he had proposed with the most gorgeous ring she had ever seen. To say Daniel was ecstatic would have been doing him a great injustice. He was as happy as she had ever seen him and it was that one thing that made them that more determined to leave Cora's cruel hand.
But now that he was gone, what truly terrified Regina was the King, and worse, her mother, would know that the child wasn't the Kings. While she couldn't picture the King killing an innocent child, her mother was an entirely different story. Cora would kill her own grandchild as soon as look at her for the mere fact it was Daniels.
The more Regina thought about it, the more determined she was to protect her and Daniels child. She had to run away. She had to get away before it was too late. She had to…
"Thinking about leaving, Dearie?"
Regina gasped as she twisted around and saw a man she had only heard about. His skin was a bright gold with long twisted fingernails and a mad impish look on his golden face as he sat on the horses stall.
Regina scampered back from the man who had appeared suddenly as if by magic. "Who... who are you?" Regina asked, her voice trembling.
"The name is Rumplestiltskin, and dealing is the game." Rumple let out a high pitched manic laugh that sent a shudder down Regina's back.
"What do you want with me?"
Rumple shrugged as he jumped from the stall and walked over to her. "Just think of it as someone very interested in you and." He came up and rested a hand on her stomach. "Your child's future."
Regina's brown eyes widened as she wrapped a hand around her stomach and took a step away from the imp. "How... how do you know about that?" she whispered, both terror and a bit of ferocity in her voice.
"I know everything, Dearie. I know how you and Danny Boy wanted to run away together and live happily ever after with your little baby girl. And now…" Rumple looked down at the body and grimaced before he looked back up at Regina. "Well he's kind of dead. And you're afraid that Dear old Mommy will hurt your… precious… little bundle. But, lucky for you and the little girl, I know a way to keep both of you safe."
Regina swallowed hard as tears made their way down her pale face. "Can… can you help her?"
"I most certainly can! Nahahaha!" That laugh again... It made Regina far less trusting of the man before her.
She swallowed hard and nodded. "Then… then will you do it?"
Rumple held up a hand to halt her. "Hold on a moment, Dearie. All magic comes with a price!"
"My mother; she has gold, jewels, anything you want. Name your price."
"See now, Dearie, I MAKE Gold. What I want… is something far more… precious."
Regina swallowed hard as she nodded. "Anything."
Rumple once again rested his hand on her stomach as he leaned in and put his lips next to her ear. "I want your child's name."
Regina pulled away and narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Why?"
Rumple grinned, showing a mouthful of what looked like rotten teeth. "For a rainy day, Dearie. Besides, what's her name to you? It's not like you're ever going to see her again."
Regina narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Wha… I don't understand. You said you'd help her!"
"And I will. The only way to help her is to get her away from you and your dear sweet mother."
Regina ran a hand through her hair as tears filled her eyes. She would never see her child again. The last piece of Daniel, the living person that reminded them they were together, would be gone.
But… But if her misery kept her child safe, her and Daniels...
Regina closed her eyes as she nodded, a sob ripping past her lips.
"Good! Nahaha! Now… what's her name?"
Regina took a moment to compose herself before she looked up at him. "Before I give it to you, I want your word." Her words were slightly edgier then she spoken before. "I want your world she'll be in a place without magic. Magic destroyed me and Daniel. I don't want her to suffer from it as well."
"You have my word," Rumple said with a bow, yet his smile almost disproved any bond or promise he made.
Eyeing him wearily for a moment, Regina took a deep breath and closed her eyes, a single tear leaking out. She nodded.
Rumple smiled cruelly at her for a moment before he bowed. "Your wish is my command."
Regina waited a moment before he a cramping intense pain seized her stomach. She grasped her stomach, crying out as she fell to her knees. It lasted less than a moment before the pain haltered.
There was a strange, empty feeling in the pit of her stomach as she rubbed her stomach, looking up to Rumple. "Is it over?"
"She's safe in a land without magic. And you need to keep your end of the bargain."
Regina felt tears flow down her face as she cradled her empty stomach. "Olivia. Her name is Olivia."
xXxXx
"So why the hell are we driving all the way to Maine?" Cassidy asked as Olivia put the final few clothes in her suitcase.
"Because I promised Calvin I'd take him somewhere he's never been," Olivia answered as she zipped up the bag.
"Cassidy groaned as he flopped down on her bed. "You live in New York City. There's plenty for the kid to do here."
"I know but I just want him to experience stuff."
"Liv, the kid's twelve. There's plenty of stuff he can experience right here without driving for half a day."
Olivia sighed as she turned towards Cassidy who seemed less than thrilled about taking a vacation with a twelve year old he barely knew.
"His Grandparents are letting me have two weeks with him this summer and that's it," she explained sadly. "I want to make it memorable for him."
Cassidy groaned as she draped her arms around his neck. "I love him, Cassidy. I love him like my own and it would really mean a lot to me if you two got along."
Brian groaned as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "Fine. I'll be nice to him."
"Thank you." Olivia smiled as she leaned in and kissed him. She tried to pull away but Cassidy pulled her back and deepened the kiss, letting his tongue run over her lips.
Just as Cassidy's hand began to run up her shirt her bedroom door opened and Calvin walked in carrying a large duffel bag.
Olivia pushed herself off Cassidy and tried to hide the blush that rose to her cheeks. "Hey, Calvin," she asked, a hopelessly fake smile on her face. "You done packing?"
Calvin eyed Cassidy wearily before he turned to Olivia and nodded. "Yeah. We gonna get going soon?"
"In about fifteen minutes," Olivia assured him. "I just gotta run down and fill up the car. Think you'll be okay with Cassidy for a bit?"
Both Calvin and Cassidy groaned at the prospect of being left with the other one. Olivia glared at Cassidy for a moment before she turned towards Calvin. "Do you wanna come with-?"
"I'll get my coat!" Calvin blurted out before he sprinted from the room.
Once he was gone Olivia turned and glared at Cassidy who held his hands up in mock surrender. "He did it too."
"He's twelve. You're forty seven. I shouldn't have to tell you to grow up.
"Liv, come on. It's not that I don't like the kid it's just… I've been undercover a while. I haven't seen or spoken to a kid in years. It'll take some getting used to is all."
"I know but… he means a lot to me. You both do. Promise me you'll at least try to get along?"
Cassidy sighed as he nodded. "Yeah sure. Whatever."
His words didn't convince her in any manner whatsoever but at least he had promised to try. That was something… right?
Twelve hours later Olivia knew that the promise meant nothing. The two had argued nonstop the whole way about stopping for food, bathroom breaks, the radio, the volume of the radio… Whenever Cassidy rolled down the window to light up a cigarette Calvin complained he was too cold and then Cassidy would get testy from the lack of nicotine.
They only had about another hour and a half to go before they reached their destination and the two males bickering were as loud as ever.
"Come on, I'm cold!" Calvin complained as Cassidy once again lit up a smoke and opened the window shivering slightly in the back seat. "Will you please close it!?"
"Kid, I haven't had a smoke all day and you're REALLY! Starting to test me!" Cassidy shot back,
"Guys," sighed Olivia, beyond exasperated. "We have a little bit more than an hour and a half to go. Can you two just get along?"
"He started it!" Calvin cried as he gestured towards Cassidy who glared in the rearview mirror at him.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Both of you stop it now!" Olivia barked bringing both males to a silent standstill. "If you guys can't stop arguing then I swear to God I'll cancel all the reservations when we get there and we'll just sit in the hotel room for the next two weeks!"
Calvin and Cassidy glared at one another for a long moment before Calvin turned and looked out the window, a hard lump having formed in his throat while Cassidy took another long drag off of his smoke.
"Can you please shut the window?" Calvin muttered to which Cassidy ignored. "Please? Cassidy, please? Will you please shut the window!?"
"Put on a damn jacket!" Cassidy shouted as he twisted around towards Calvin.
"Cassidy, look out!" screamed Olivia as a wolf bolted in front of their car from the woods surrounding them.
Cassidy whipped back towards the front and shot his arm out in front of Olivia as he swerved to avoid hitting the car, crashing into a ditch and only being stopped when the front of the car hit a tree.
"Calvin, you okay?" Olivia cried out, her voice hitched with panic. The second it took him to reply was, without a doubt, the longest moment in her life.
Calvin answered with a tremble in his voice. "Ye- yeah. Are you?"
Olivia nodded as she glanced down at herself. "I'm okay, Calvin. Just relax alright? Cassidy, are you okay?"
"Yeah," he groaned as he put a hand to his head, pulling away to find a small smidgen of blood. "What the hell ran out in front of me?"
"A wolf," Olivia answered, breathing a sigh of relief that all three were okay, deciding to be angry about the actual crash later. "Can the car still start?"
Cassidy lit up another cigarette, this time with no interruption from Calvin, as he turned the key in the ignition and getting nothing but a few dying sputters.
Cassidy turned towards a hopeful Olivia. "I'm gonna go into town and look for a mechanic, okay? You two stay here."
Olivia nodded in agreement but before he even opened his door there was a knock on Olivia's window. Olivia opened the window and was met with a young blonde, no older than thirty, and a boy around Calvin's age. There were no street lights and their cars headlights had been destroyed.
"We saw the crash are you guys okay?" the blonde asked.
"We're fine but our car's not," Olivia explained. "Do you have a number to a mechanic?"
The blonde shook her head. "No, but I can give you a ride into town and you can talk to him. Then I'll drop you off at the bed and breakfast."
"That would be amazing," Olivia said with a smile. "Thank you so much."
"Crashes in Storybrooke happen more often than not," the blonde said with a chuckle as she opened up Olivia's door.
Cassidy and Calvin followed and the young boy eyed the three of them wearily. Olivia gave the blonde a warm smile. "I'm Olivia Benson; this is my boyfriend Brian Cassidy."
"Hey," Emma said with a nod towards Cassidy. Cassidy gave the same greeting in return as he took another long drag off of his cigarette
"And this," Olivia continued as she placed a comforting hand on Calvin's shoulder. "Is my… This is Calvin Ar-."
"Benson," Calvin interrupted. "It's Calvin Benson."
Olivia swelled with pride as she ruffled Calvin's hair. She noticed the strange look the blond was giving her and shrugged. "It's complicated," both Olivia and Calvin admitted at the same time.
The blonde nodded. "Gotcha. Well I'm Emma Swan; I'm actually the sheriff around here. This is my son, Henry."
Henry, instead of being the usual friendly boy he usually was, eyed the three New Yorkers wearily. "Strangers don't come to Storybrooke."
"Henry," Emma groaned. "Not now."
"Trust me, we're not here by choice," Cassidy told Henry as he took another drag off of the white stick.
Calvin nodded in agreement, both ignoring Olivia's semi harsh glare. Olivia turned back to Emma who couldn't help but chuckle. "Anyway, Sherriff Swan, a ride to town would be really helpful."
"No problem. Hop in."
The three headed over to Emma's car which was parked on the other side of the street. "Sorry it's so small," Emma said with a chuckle as they walked to the car. "It's just-."
But she stopped short when she was finally able to see the finer details of Olivia that's to her cars bright headlights.
Henry's eyes grew wide and his mouth fell open. "Holy sh-."
"Henry, don't cuss," Emma snapped, unable to keep her voice from shaking. Olivia eyed them wearily. "Are you two okay?"
Emma simply stared at her for a moment before she cleared her throat. "I'm… I'm sorry have we ever met before?"
"Have you ever been to New York?"
"I- I live in Boston," Emma breathed.
Olivia and Cassidy eyed each other before they turned back towards Emma who couldn't take her eyes off of Olivia who was sure she saw a hint of fear cross through Emma's face.
"Um, look, we can walk to find the mechanic," Olivia told them. "It'd be no issue."
Emma shook her head. "No I... I'm sorry, I'm just being stupid. We'll give you a ride."
Emma assured them with a smile as she opened the back door to her buggy. Once again Cassidy and Olivia eyed one another before they and Calvin slid in the car with Olivia taking the middle.
Emma closed the door and the moment she did Henry whipped towards her. "Did you see-!"
"Yeah."
"She looks just like-!"
"I know."
"Maybe it's the Evil Queens-!"
"No."
Emma turned towards an overly excited Henry. "Henry, these people need our help, okay? Promise me no curse talk around them?"
"But they're not allowed to come to Storybrooke! No one is!"
"We both did."
"We're special! And it wasn't three at a time! They're her because of something to do with the curse, I know it!"
"Henry, stop." Seeing the disappointment in Henry's face, Emma bent down and whispered with a sense of dramatic urgency. "Besides, we wouldn't want them in on Operation Cobra right?"
Henry perked up immensely as he winked. "I got it! Play ignorant! Throw them off the scent!"
"Don't let them know we're onto them!"
Henry nodded eagerly. "Gotcha!"
Emma gave a curt nod before she stood back up and clapped him on the shoulder. "Get in the car, Kid. I gotta get you back to Regina's."
With another nod and a beaming grin, Henry raced around the yellow bug and literally hopped into the front seat. Emma simply smiled, shook her head, and got in the car.
Why are Calvin and Cassidy allowed in Storybrooke along with Olivia? Is Olivia going to fight for Operation Cobra or will she end up becoming an Evil Regal? Guess you're just gonna have to read, review, and enjoy the rest of the story to find out ;-) First Once Upon A Time fic so be gentle. Actually no. Be honest. If it sucks so bad you have to stab yourself in the eye with a metal spork to ride yourself of the pain, scream it from the mountaintops. If you loved it beyond anything else, again, don't hesitate.
