This is probably way AU, but I have just been thinking after 3x11 and 3x12 promo choices they might make about making Snow pregnant again in the show. And because she wasn´t already, at least what they know of in latest episode but clearly is in promo, and if those fairytale scenes are right after they went back, what if she goes back being pregnant with Emma. So after that idea, I just had to write that scenario down :)
I don´t have beta and english is not my native language, so I´m sorry for any mistakes.
Disclaimer: Not my characters, just playing with them
I can´t believe this is happening again. Curse is once again coming over us and I have to let Emma go for her and Henry´s sake, so that they can get a live together. Part of me really wants to let Emma stay, but what kind of grandma am I if I let Henry get left behind alone. So I have no choice but talk Emma into leaving. Somehow this is even worse than the first time because now also Emma knows what is happening. So I keep smile on my face no matter how hard it is, until they get on the car and drive away from our lives. I can´t break in front of her or she will bail out and Henry would be doomed. At least I get to give her one final kiss before they leave. Kissing her forehead feels so much like the first time, that my mind travels for that day for a minute. And then all is gone. There is only purple smoke of the curse and David´s hand in mine.
When the smoke clears out, we find ourselves standing in the meadow middle of the forest back home. "We´re back" I state sadly watching my white cloak which has replaced my earlier outfit.
"Snow what happened to your hair and how is it possible that you are pregnant?" David asks confused.
First I comb my hair and notice that indeed it has grown back and everyone else is also wearing clothes we were in when the curse stroked first time. But then his other notion come to my mind. "What you mean with pregnant? We were just planning it and if I have come after Neverland it couldn´t possibly be showing yet?" I ask him confused. Is he lost it, since that won´t make sense?
"Well that isn´t an early stage bump for sure." He says pointing my belly.
"What bump…?" I start to say, but then feel series of very familiar kicks, too familiar exactly. "Emma" I say while my hand flew to my belly. Because it clearly is Emma kicking inside of me, this is too familiar to be anything else.
"How is this possible?" I ask from Regina. "We just send Emma & Henry to the safety. Does this mean that Emma was returned after all and Henry has ceased to exist or what?" I start to panic. This whole situation is confusing and I can´t understand anything.
"I didn´t expect this to happen, but it makes sense I guess." Regina says.
"How this could ever make sense, first of all Emma was born and send away before the curse. So how could I be pregnant again with her?" I ask of her.
"But I bet you weren´t in labor before I cast the curse. That she born during the curse ascending. Now we have all returned to the state we were before the curse was cast, so that´s why you have also returned pregnant. And to your second question, I don´t think Emma and Henry in that other world have vanished, because I cast a protection spell over them which should protect them from all magical threats and this side effect of curse undoing is certainly one of those. So they should be just fine. Though this situation about Miss Swan being in 2 worlds at the same time could cause problems, because it´s against all natural laws." She explains.
"So how do you think we could solve this? And there is one other thing if I´m returned to that moment just before curse was cast, since that would mean I will go into labor any minute now again." I´m so confused, this couldn´t be happening.
"I can make a protection spell on you to buy us some time to think of this. I truly believe we´re save as long as she is still inside of you, because then she isn´t really living wholly in two worlds." she says.
David chimes in: "Do you really think Regina I let you put spells on my wife and child anymore. Who knows what you will do to them."
She interrupts him: "Watch your tongue Charming! I´m not going to hurt Emma or Snow. This will really be for their protection. So go ahead stop me, but know that then you have doomed your wife and child for unknown possibly terrible faith."
I have to stop their fight. "David trust me, I believe that Regina is really helping now, and we really don´t have any other choice, since you also know how fast Emma could born now."
That get Charming walk closer and take me in his arms. "I guess you're right. So Regina if you really want to help, do what you can." He finally agrees.
Regina comes closer and we part with Charming. "Ok, so Snow look in to my eyes and take my hands. I will cast a little spell on you and protect you from premature labor. It would just give us couple weeks more time to think solution, but it´s better than couple minutes". She instructs me. I do as she says, and take her hands. She utters some magic words and I feel a surge of power going over me. I know it worked instantly, because now I feel at ease again, and those slight contractions I was feeling earlier have stopped. I just wish this couple weeks is enough time to find solution and save my family. Until then I get to enjoy being one with Emma again, so I haven´t lost her completely after all, no matter having to let her go in Storybrooke.
Note: I think I might give a shot for trying to write this multichapter to spend time on this hiatus, if anyone is interested.
