He is my son
'Regina, wait!'
Emma followed her outside, after Regina had left the meeting with the wedding planner furiously.
'Please Regina, nobody wants to...'
'Steal my son? Oh yes, I think somebody really wants to!'
Regina hadn't been that angry for a while. She hurried but then stopped for a second and turned around again. Emma stood in front of her, honestly feeling sorry.
'Just one question',
Regina asked.
'Did you know about it?'
Emma looked surprised.
'Gina, d'you really think I wouldn't have told you if I had known?'
Regina hesitated, then turned around again and wanted to move on, until Emma's voice made her stop again.
'You know, I don't really know what to think about it, I'm not sure it'd be clever at the moment. As you’ve already said, he got two moms who care about him a lot. I wouldn't want to give this away.'
Regina understood what was Emma was trying to do. But she didn't want to be felt sorry for. It was difficult for her to keep calm, all she really wanted to do was shouting at Hook what he could do with his adoption papers, but Regina tried to not overreact.
'I don't think you can quite understand my situation. I lost Robin a while ago and now some pirate comes up and wants to adopt my son whom I already share with his other mother. This is okay for me, but I won't let anyone else get into our lives, it's just us three.'
Emma had to take a moment, because she wasn't sure to have heard these words coming out of Regina's mouth.
Regina needed a moment to realize what she had just said.
'Emma, I am sorry, I didn't mean to...'
'Oh I think I certainly do know what you meant to say. You know what, I am done with it, trying to make you feel comfortable. If I am just an annoying someone around you who shares her son, then I am sorry. Not for being this person, but for having thought you'd had changed. Maybe Hook was right and you're still part of the Evil Queen.'
'Emma, please, I really just chose the wrong words. I don't think like this, I lo...'
'You know what Gina, if you think that I'm just a waste of space, maybe you shouldn't be my bridesmaid anymore. Or maybe you should consider not coming to my wedding.'
With these words Emma turned around and went back into the building before Regina could answer anything. She just stood there, looking at that house, alone.
Slowly she headed back home and couldn't think straight anymore.
It was late noon, Regina was going down the street to her house, having no idea what to do. Was that something she had to worry about? What would Emma do with Henry, how far would she go? Or was it just a rush of anger that didn't mean anything?
When Regina arrived at home, she tried not to think about the day. Trying made no sense, it wouldn't get out of her head.
Was she the one being wrong? Did she overreact a little bit? Maybe, but Regina wouldn't give up on Henry, and she still didn't want Hook in her son's life.
Although she struggled a lot with these thoughts, she couldn't get rid of the feeling that Emma was really angry about her. Would she really mean what she had said? Regina didn't care about the role as bridesmaid, but it still meant something for her, it had proven the importance of Regina in Emma's life. But was she that important to her?
Regina felt her stomach ache, she didn't know what it was.
Her feelings for Emma were crazy enough, the argument after the meeting just had confused Regina even more. She didn't know what Emma might feel, if she still liked her?
Regina knew that she was falling for Emma, but Emma was marrying someone else! Regina told herself to forget about Emma, but it was impossible!
Regina couldn't sleep that night, and the next day wouldn't make her feel any better ..
