Confrontation | Regina and Snow

@regalmayornolan

Mary Margaret had barely been able to function properly since the curse broke. There were too many questions milling around her mind, too many answers that she needed - but didn’t want to - know. Somehow she managed to get to work but every time Henry so much as moved she wanted to ask him all the questions she could think of. He insisted he had all the answers before, and he had been right after all. But this was different. This was personal.

She slowly approached the Mayor’s mansion, nerves almost taking over completely. She knew she needed to do this - definitely. Mary Margaret slowly stepped up to the door and knocked lightly, holding her breath. You can do this. Just be civil.

[regalmayornolan]

      Regina was still recovering from the ordeal of the labour and delivery of the twins, but she was up and moving around the house now at least. The kids were good with helping with things around the house, chores, meal preparation, grabbing things for their siblings. She’d honestly expected some jealousy or maybe feelings of neglect, but there had been none of that so far. Adaline and Henry were helpful, sadly, neither of them, or anyone else was home so Regina was left to deal with both babies on her own.

      Little David was easy, after nursing he’d dozed off in the bassinet in the kitchen while she tried to do some organizing and meal preparation. Victoria was a different story, after nursing, she’d decided she didn’t want to sleep or watch the mobile. Regina had settled for setting the fussy little princess in her carrier on the island and she’d been a happy observer since then... At least until a knock at the door drew her attention and she started fussing again.

      Freeing the baby from her carrier and cradling her against her chest, she headed for the door and opened it trying to hide her shock at who she found waiting behind it on her porch. She put up her walls and turned on her “Evil Queen” façade. “David isn’t here at the moment dear. You might try at the station,” she offered coldly. The only reason Snow could possibly be here was to see David, which she didn’t appreciate...or Henry since she was still one of his grandmothers biologically speaking.

Check Up Appointment 🐼 Regina & Tara 🐼

   It was becoming difficult for her to quickly scarf up the sandwich that she’d ordered from Granny’s. Thanks to an idiot nurse, her lunch had been cut short as the nurse somehow made a child’s broken arm worse. Tara had to fix the damage and save the nurse from being murdered by the parents. She mused that maybe she should’ve let them. The doctor would have to look into getting the nurse transferred to another area of the hospital. Her thoughts turned back to the child. While she was happy that she’d gotten them to calm down and put their arm in a cast, it only left her with five minutes to finish her lunch before her next appointment came in. She had a habit of being on time and wasn’t about to break it. Especially since it was the mayor that was coming into her office.

    Tara chewed on her sandwich as she mulled over the appointment. She’d already seen both the mayor and her husband, letting them know that they were having twins. The doctor was happy for them, knowing they had tried before coming to adopt Henry. It seemed that Fate decided that it was finally time to have one of their own. She knew that the two were overjoyed and couldn’t wait for the little ones to come. Tara always enjoyed helping bring the little ones into the world. Taking another bite of her sandwich, she hummed in happiness. No one did a chicken salad sandwich like Granny’s.

      She felt her eyes widen at her door starting to open. “Shit! Just a second!” Tara yelled, scrambling and cramming the  reminder of her sandwich into her mouth. Somewhat choking for a few moments, she managed to swallow it and coughed as the door was finally open. It took her a few moments to finally speak as the coughing stopped.

         “Hello Mayor Mills, it’s nice to see you again. Please take a seat.” She gestured to the exam area, clearing her throat as she tried to ignore the burning in her throat. The doctor smiled, unaware that there was a small bit of chicken salad sticking to her cheek.

[regalmayornolan]

     A hospital was probably the worst place to be around lunch time if you were pregnant. Really, anywhere with food was bad enough, but what hospital food lacked in flavour, it certainly made up for in scent and appearance. She was pretty sure the patients getting sandwiches, some were getting tuna, and some were definitely getting egg salad. At least those looked somewhat appetizing, she was pretty sure she’d passed a tray with vegetable soup that remarkably similar to the reappearance of her breakfast earlier in the day.

     The Mayor was initially thankful she hadn’t managed to eat much at lunch for surely she’d have been sick again with all the smells wafting from the trays currently being distributed to patients. No sooner had that thought left her mind when a nurse passed with a cup of coffee, a scent that always induced her morning sickness. It was if her body was reacting to the caffeine in the coffee as a threat to the pregnancy, which it was, but she could do without the warning. David couldn’t even come near her with his coffee breath, let alone kiss her without sending her running to the nearest bathroom.

     Thankfully, the hospital bathroom was clean, even the floors. She still hated that they were so public, but at least when she made it up off of her knees her dress wasn’t covered in dirt. Whomever had been in the restroom with her had left by the time she came out. Reaching into her purse she grabbed the kit she kept there and brushed her teeth before sticking the kit away again and looking at herself in the mirror. God she looked pale, drained, unwell...sighing she grabbed out her emergency makeup kit and tried to add a little more blush and lipstick in the hopes of drawing attention away from pale skin and tired eyes.

     Another sigh passed over her lips and she decided she looked good enough, or as good as she was going to be able to look without a full vanity full of cosmetics. Heading out of the bathroom she made her way to the nurse’s station and checked in apologizing for being a little late. Charlotte had seen her pop into the bathroom, so she’d already checked her in and had a gown ready for her. Another front closure gown by the looks of it, not surprising since breast exams were encouraged during pregnancy to determine whether any problems with breastfeeding could be anticipated, to open the door for the breastfeeding conversation between patient and practitioner, and to screen for breast cancer. Despite knowing the importance, she still wasn’t looking forward to it as that particular area was tender and sensitive. Granted, she’d read a--and by “a” she meant at least four--“What to expect during your first prenatal visit” articles online and in books.

     Charlotte lead her to Dr. Slàine’s office and told her that the doctor was probably still out to lunch, but that she could use the bathroom inside to change. Thank god she didn’t have to do it in the public restroom. As she moved to open the door, she was alerted to the fact that Dr. Slàine was not in fact out to lunch. Giving her a moment, as requested, she opened the door once adequate time had passed. “Lovely to see you too Dr. Slàine,” Regina replies stepping into the office and closing the door behind her.

     “I’ll just be a moment changing dear,” she offered as she moved towards the bathroom before turning back for a moment once she was far enough away not to see or smell chicken salad. “By the way, you have a little something on your cheek dear,” Regina stated before closing the bathroom door behind her. She came out a few minutes later in the gown, her thigh high stay-up stockings, and her heels. After setting her purse and folded pile of clothing onto a chair, she slid up onto the examination table, which thankfully was reachable in heels with only a little struggle.

Mama, come here, Approach, appear. Daddy, I'm alone, 'Cause this house don't feel like home.

If you love me, don't let go. If you love me, don't let go.

Hold, hold on, hold onto me, 'Cause I'm a little unsteady, A little unsteady.

     Adaline breathed a silent sigh of relief that she wasn’t being grounded or shouted at for her cursing. Mama had other things on her mind right now though, so she wasn’t considering herself totally off the hook yet even if mama said she was forgiven. “I won’t mama,” she agreed softly. Papa wouldn’t be pleased with her, Grandma Ruth less so probably and well, Grandma Cora would probably be proud or something. She wasn’t here right now though because they weren’t sure how she’d act if magic was back or if she could be trusted.

     As she saw her mother fall to her knees, she almost wished her grandmother was there to help them. With four of them, mama wouldn’t have to work so hard, but if Grandma Cora turned dark again with magic being back, she wouldn’t be much help anyway. Adaline it her lip and hovered over her mother as she downed some sort of potion and got to her feet seemingly back to normal. Finally, it was her and grandpa’s turns to join in. “Yes mama,” she nodded as she stepped forward and closed her eyes focusing on her positive emotions, her love for and desire to protect her family and friends. 

     Her magic sprang forth and she kept the thoughts strong as she opened her eyes and saw her mother and grandfather working on the barrier too. She could see it spreading to cover the entire town little by little. Adaline helped it grow in size and strength until she started to feel tiredness taking hold and shes stopped. Turning, she could see her grandfather had stopped too, but the barrier wasn’t totally complete. It was up to mama now…or they’d have to go home and rest coming back later to finish.

[regalmayornolan]

      With the additional help, the barrier started to fully cover Storybrooke and by the time Adaline and her father pulled back, there was only a bit left to do. Though she too was starting to feel tired, she pushed on feeling her power draining as the barrier glowed bright indicating it was complete, and just in time too, she felt like she may pass out from exhaustion. Her hands fell to her sides the magic flowing from them having ceased. As her legs gave out she found herself wishing she had two of those potions, but she’d only had one in stock and no time to make more.

      “Drink,” she heard her father say and she looked up to see him holding up a bottle of coconut water that she’d grabbed before they left the house in case any of them needed the boost. Sports drinks would have been better, but Regina didn’t like the idea of them. They seemed so unnatural, so she’d always grab the natural alternative. “Thank you,” she smiled tiredly as she took the open bottle bringing it to her lips and drinking half before passing it back to her father with a nod towards Adaline. After giving his granddaughter the bottle, her father helped her back to her feet.

      Regina started to walk towards the car now that she had some strength back. “We’d better head home before the twins wake up David or someone else notices our absence,” she called over her shoulder. She could already hear her companions moving to follow. They had done what they had come here to do, and now Blue would never get into Storybrooke.

🐦 Protecting the Town 🐦

     Oh, so her mama hadn’t missed that after all. Damn…she never could get anything by her and it was oddly comforting that was something that never changed. “I’m sorry for swearing mama, and I think my punishment was appropriate,” she offered sincerely. Only sincere apologies ever counted in mama’s books. Ones you did just because you were told to didn’t because you wouldn’t have apologized otherwise and didn’t really mean it. Sighing a little the teen settled into her seat for the short drive towards the town line.

     Once there, Adaline waited a few minutes after Grandpa got out before following. He’d said he’d wanted to talk to mama a moment privately. She hadn’t seen her grandfather say anything, just her mother talk to her before setting to work on the barrier. Eagerly Adaline unbuckled and hopped out before racing over and closing her eyes to think of everyone she wanted to protect. However, before her magic could come to the surface she felt a hand on her shoulder and stopped. “Not yet little bird, your mama will tell us when,” her grandfather told her in that tone that screamed wisdom. Nodding she restrained her desire to jump in.

[regalmayornolan]

    Glancing in the rear view mirror as she drove, Regina could see the sincerity of Adaline’s apology. “You’re forgiven dear, but don’t let it happen in future especially in front of your father, siblings, or grandparents,” she offered, her eyes already back on the road ahead of them. The journey to their third destination of the day honestly felt shorter than the task that followed. Putting up the barrier required a lot of focus, and a lot of magic, and since the price of this sort of magic was the user’s strength, Regina was growing weaker as the protective shield around the town grew larger and stronger.

    Finally, it became too much and Regina dropped to her knees trying to regain her breath. She needed the potion if she wished to finish, and she wished to finish. The barrier had to cover the entire town and make it so that no one could enter in any manner...land, water, air...she wouldn’t put it past Blue to try every angle, but he would fail. Downing the potion Regina felt her strength return even stronger than when they’d left the house. Accepting her father’s help she got to her feet and nodded to him and Adaline that now was the time for them to help.

    “Stop when you feel even remotely tired, understood Adaline? You too daddy,” she insisted giving them her “no argument” look so that they would understand the point was not up for debate. When they became tired, it would fall to her to use every last ounce of her energy to finish the barrier and ensure the safety of her family and the town full of people that hated her. Taking a breath and closing her eyes, she refocused her attentions and allowed her magic to flow forth towards the barrier.

     Adaline was happy not to hear her mother shouting behind her about her cursing. She was taking that as a good sign she wasn’t getting punished over it. Feeling pretty safe, she slowed to a walk until she reached the car and she was surprised to find mama already in the driver’s seat with grandpa in the passenger seat beside her. They were both clearly waiting for her, but how had they gotten here before her? Oh….right, magic. Wow…way to go Adaline, smooth. Shaking her head at herself she got into the backseat. 

     “I’m counting that as my workout for the day and going to be annoyed at myself for the rest of the day,” Adaline announced as she buckled up. They weren’t going far, but safety first. “Ready mama, let’s get the barrier up before the early birds start waking up,” she stated with a smile eager to get the town protected so that she could go back to her own time with the future changed. She didn’t want to leave…she liked it here in this time, but she knew she’d have to leave and forget everything she’d done here.

[regalmayornolan]

     “I was counting it as punishment for your cursing dear, and I’m still waiting for an apology,” Regina sassed back with a smirk as she turned the key in the ignition and the engine “roared to life” She waited to see that everyone was buckled up before she put her foot on the break and shifted into drive. Despite being the only ones out at this time, she signalled before easing up on the brake and sliding her foot over to the gas peddle applying light pressure as she guided the car off the shoulder and back onto the road.

     The drive to the town line wasn’t long at all. One of the perks of living in a small town. Pulling over to the shoulder, she parked the car and turned it off. After unbuckling and tossing her keys in her purse, she got out of the car and stepped up to the line. “You don’t help until I tell you, and not before the potion,” she reminded her father as she felt his presence behind her. “That goes for Adaline too, and if anything happens...watch over my children,” Regina added as she raised her hands and focused on everyone she loved and wanted to protect. Right away she felt her magic reacting to the emotions and expelling from her hands starting to create the barrier. Little by little the barrier grew.

     It felt like forever, but really it was less than a minute before they could see that the potion had actually worked on the well. Purple smoke drifted up and over the edges of the well and down onto the ground. It rose around her mother completely swallowing her before some drifted towards Adaline and her grandfather. Henry stepped closer to her reaching an arm forward and pulling her protectively too them. As the clouded drifted over her legs and feet she could feel the magic inside of her awakening, Henry too was experiencing it. As the cloud fully engulfed them their magic fully returned.

     The smokey cloud of purple finally cleared and she could see mama and Grandfather again. “That was…” Adaline paused unsure of the right words to fit the situation and feelings. “So awesomely cool,” she finally decided on. It seemed fitting. “Mine’s back too, so let’s go put up that Blue Bitch Blocking Barrier!” she announced gleefully, an uncharacteristic curse word slipping out in the alliteration she’d created. Adaline jogged off back towards the car, she hoped, before her mother could chastise her.

[regalmayornolan]

     “Awesomely cool”...Regina made a mental note to work on expanding that girl’s clearly challenged vocabulary. At the moment though, that was the least of her worries. Once her family was same and protected she’d deal with everything else. Releasing a breath she hadn’t realized that she was even holding, Regina opened her eyes and turned to look at Adaline with a brow raised ever so slightly. She should have told her daughter to watch her cursing, but Regina too was guilty of it from time to time and it seemed fitting enough.

     “Should we remind her she could use magic to get back to the car?” Regina heard her father ask as Adaline had already jogged out of ear shot. With a hearty laugh Regina shook her head lightly. “Let her walk it out, we can consider it her punishment for cursing,” she retorted with a gin and a wink before she waved an arm over herself and disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke appearing next to the car. Her father appeared a few seconds after her. They both got back into the car to wait for Adaline to join them. Once inside Regina told her father about the potion she’d grabbed so that he would keep Adaline safely away until Regina needed help.

🐦 Protecting the Town 🐦

[ageofadalinenolan]

     Adaline had been all for her mama’s plan from the very beginning, she was glad mama had agreed a barrier was necessary to protect the town and everyone in it. As much as she hated waking up normal early, and dreaded waking up even earlier than that, she knew it was what they had to do. Papa would never have agreed even if they’d said Grandpa was coming too. Of course, she and Grandpa were going more as back up if mama needed their help signal them to help. If Adaline or Grandpa saw mama getting too weak though, they’d agreed–alone in the car while mama was in her crypt getting the potion–that they would help without invitation.

     Once the car rolled to a stop at the forest, she got out and made the trek to the well. Could this count as her workout for the day, she wondered silently as they made their way to their destination. Adaline and her grandfather stayed close, but not as close as mama who was actually going to drop the bottle into the well. They’d be the second and third people to get their magic back. Mama would be the first and she’d probably have no trouble with it since she was the one dropping the bottle. “We’re ready mama,” Adaline said with a nod and grandpa echoed her sentiment. The two waited with baited breath.

[regalmayornolan]

     Seeing the approval of her daughter and her father was vaguely comforting for Regina. She bit her lower lip nervously and extended an uncharacteristically shaky hand to drop the open potion over the well as she silently hoped that this would work and magic would return. As afraid as she was of slipping into her old ways, or of someone using magic against her family, she was more afraid of loosing David, her parents, everyone she loved to a war of the Blue Fairy’s creation. Blue had to be stopped before she could even step foot in town. This was for the best.

     Sucking in a breath and closing her eyes she released the bottle and it dropped down, down, down, until it hit the ancient waters bellow, and then... No massive rush of magic hitting her as she’d expected, but as she moved to take a look down the well, a familiar purple cloud started to creep out. The cloud came from all directions moving out until it swept over her and she could feel the familiar spark of magic. More and more magic came out of the well until she couldn’t even see her daughter and father it was so thick. As it completely engulfed her she felt the rest of her magic return to her. When the cloud had passed over them and headed out to cover every inch of the rest of the town, she turned to her companions. “My magic’s back, did you feel yours return as well? The more of us that have it, the better our chance of getting up the barrier.”

🐦 Protecting the Town 🐦

Thursday, August 16th, 2012 - Very Early Morning at Various Locations

     The idea that protecting the town, and more importantly, her family, meant bringing back magic had been hard for Regina to accept at first. For the duration of the curse and a week after, everyone had lived without it and she was worried about how they’d react to waking up to it’s return. How Ruby, Del, and any other werewolves would react was especially troubling as the full moon was tomorrow.

     David hadn’t listed any of those reasons when he’d tried to convince her not to pursue her current course of action. He was worried...worried about villains getting magic back, and even the heroes to because someone may come after her. Mostly though, he was worried about her being injured or dying trying to put up the barrier. She’d given birth to the twins at night, and it was currently morning, so she was still a bit shy of being even one week postpartum. The labour and birth had taken a lot out of her. David may have been right to worry, but she still had to try because if she didn’t he and many others could die.

     Being worried that David would try to talk her out of plan, she plotted secretly with Adaline and her father last night and they’d made their plans to meet long before anyone in Storybrooke, including her husband, would even be awake. By the time people were starting their day, magic would already be back and the barrier would have been up for over an hour at least.

     First, they’d needed to go to her vault and get the magic true love potion Mal had traded her back in the Enchanted Forest. She’d gone in alone and retrieve the bottle as well as a potion to restore her strength. Once she had what she needed it was back to the car and onward to the wishing well, which was a decent walk into the forest. “Are you both ready for this?” she asked as she stepped up to the well ready to drop in the vial.

🐦 Secrets Revealed 🐦

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 - Afternoon at the Nolan Mansion Posting Order: Adaline, Regina, and then David

     Adaline Nolan had been hoping that after the curse broke, magic would be returned and a barrier would be put up around the town, but as of yet, no such thing had happened. If Blue, Tamara, and Neal made it into town they’d start a war. Even if she managed to keep her father alive, others would die, and lives and relationships would be ruined. Even if Blue was stopped they’d have to kill her and perhaps her partners too and that would probably set off a chain of negative events with the Dark One.

     The teen had thought long and hard about what to do, and the best solution was to stop Blue and her allies before they even came in to Storybrooke. That meant Adaline had to act relatively fast because in her timeline they’d arrived on the new moon, a week and a day after the birth of her siblings, which meant that in two days they’d be here. Adaline had no more time to waste she just had to tell her parents the truth and hope for the best. She’d waited until her grandparents had all left–Ruth with Cora to go clothes shopping, and Henry with his namesake to check out the arcade and get pizza–then she’d gotten her parents and the twins into the living room where she had the bag she’d come to Storybrooke with already waiting. “All right, I have something important to tell you and I know it’s going to be hard to believe, but I need you to be really open minded and just try to listen. I’m your daughter, your biological daughter from the future and I can prove it.”

[regalmayornolan]

     Regina was slowly adjusting to the new routine she’d set for herself and the twins. It hadn’t been a week even, but she was happy to see that they were settling happily into the family. Everyone loved the new additions and thankfully, there hadn’t seemed to be any jealousy issues thus far. It was probably because the grandparents living in the house too meant that there was generally going to always be someone around for Adaline and Henry even if she and David found themselves preoccupied with the twins, which had been the case this morning.

     The twins had been demanding all morning; David wanted cuddles and to nurse, Victoria wanted stimulation and attention because she missed her papa who’d had to help Graham on a call that morning. Now that daddy was home, the little princess was content and when Adaline called them all to the living room was the first time Regina had the chance to sit and relax all day...at least until Adaline dropped her bombshell. Regina bit her lower lip lightly and looked at her husband a little unsure of exactly what to say or what had brought this on. “Adaline, sweetheart...you know we love you,” she started and paused looking at David again. “I can’t deny you don’t look similar to me when I was younger dear, but...time travel? The laws of magic, it’s not possible.”

❁ True Friendship Endures ❁

      Regina had been home from the hospital for a few days now. She was trying to take it easy to allow her body time to recover, which meant that she was mostly resting and caring for the twins. Once fed and changed, the twins were very content to sleep until their tiny tummies demanded more food at night, which allowed both herself and David more sleep than some parents with newborns. They’d gotten lucky with two good babies who nursed well, and attempted to comfort each other when one was fussy.

     They’d started crying around noon today, not long after their feeding and diaper changes. She knew it was because David had popped out to run an errand and they missed him, especially Victoria. Regina had tried pretty much everything before finally turning to an indie singer she’d stumbled upon one day that had a nice voice. The music seemed to be soothing them until the doorbell rang and the crying started up again.

     Shushing the twins softly she turned the music up a bit so they could hear it better before she hurried to answer the door to reveal Granny with a take-out bag. “Eugenia, I didn’t realize you made deliveries. Did David order that? He’s not here right now,” she offered looking distractedly over her shoulder towards the source of two angry wails.
