Out of the Shadow Throne: i will be on a bit of a hiatus here. Sorry
Heartbeats. [Swan Queen AU]
Emma sat in the back booth with her duffel bag haphazardly thrown into the booth across from her. She had a steaming cup of hot chocolate and cinnamon sitting in front of her along with a large plate of waffles with a mile high amount of whipped cream. Emma didn’t know if her new addictions to waffles came from the many hours she spent watching Parks and Rec in the hospital or if she really just enjoyed waffles and whipped cream - obviously, it had to be both she decided for herself.
Emma sighed to herself as she wiped some of the whip cream up with her finger and stuck it into her mouth. The sweet homemade cream was comforting - reminding the blonde of breakfast with her families on Sunday mornings before they set forth on some random adventure for the day. One day, it had been teaching Henry how to skate and another day was spent with Emma’s legs up and hooked onto the bed as they prayed for “it” to take.
Emma got pregnant on their first try with Graham’s donated sperm. Emma didn’t expect that, it taking, since she was convinced that she was broken and no amount of love could save her.
Except she wasn’t broken then and Regina and Henry had successfully gorilla glued her back together and the family of three were excited for their new addition. Henry read over name books every day and demanded the kid be named after a superhero while Regina spent an entire weekend painting the nursery Plumberry Purple - though both mothers knew the infant would most likely sleep with them - and Emma, well she spent time crying over books she found with stories of a love for a child and talking to the tiny birdie in her stomach.
It’s heardbeat always fluttered - so Emma called her her little bird.
Except heartbeats die out and birds fly away and Emma ended up empty. Completely, utterly, empty.
"Ma!" The voice of her young son rang through every cell of Emma’s body as her eyes looked up to see the young boy - nearly preteen- come barreling at her and tackling her into the booth. "Ma."
Henry was crying into her shoulder and she held tight to him, awkwardly, heartbeats skipping as she tried desperately to hold tight to her composure.
Regina couldn't stop the tear that rolled down her cheek at the sight of her wife. Her fingers moved to nervously twist the wedding ring that hung off a thin silver chain around her neck. No matter how hard she had tried, she couldn't get rid of it. She looked to her son, torn between pulling him away and letting him have this moment.
Henry was clinging tightly to his blonde mother, shoulders racking with how hard he was crying. Losing his sister and his mother had turned the boy into a near carbon copy of his brunette mother becoming withdrawn and broody.
" Henry, get away from her." Her anger finally came to front. She felt her heels hitting the floor with more force than necessary but it felt good. Her arms were crossed as she looked at her son who stared at her with disbelief. "But..it's..."
" Your mother left Henry." Regina's voice was cold as winter wind, trying to hide the pain of her heart breaking. Why had Emma left her? Didn't she realize that she had lost her daughter as well. " Mo-"
" No Henry! Come here now. We'll go to the coffee house for breakfast instead." Regina ordered, trying to hide the trembling of her shoulders, of how the dark circles under her eyes were from lack of sleep due to her grief.
A better version of Regina with baby panda for those who asked me to put it on the shop. Do you guys like ? :)
We Need to Talk About Henry/ AU Swan Queen
Emma was quite over the course of their dinner - enjoying observing Henry in his natural environment but also contemplating what Regina said about how Henry was the only loveable one in their small, little family. It was unsettling to think that the mother of her biological son felt so poorly about herself.
Did Regina not notice how much her son loved her? Did Regina not realize how amazing she was with the young boy and towards those around her? Yeah, she might be a little blunt and demanding, but Emma didn’t find those unlovable traits.
The young blonde pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose as she helped Regina clean up after dinner. Henry was content in the other room sitting on the floor with various books surrounding him and taking him to far off places.
Emma put a plate into the dishwasher before she turned to the older woman, eyebrows furrowed. “Regina?” Emma said, not waiting for the woman to answer before continuing, “I hope that you didn’t mean what you said last night. I….”
Emma paused, not really knowing how honest or blunt she should be with this woman. Especially since she will be living with her for a few months after her surgery.
She sighed and blurted it out, “I think you would be easy to love.”
With that, like always, Emma ran away.
This time, only to her upstairs room.
Regina merely focused on her son throughout dinner trying to ignore the pangs in her heart caused by Emma. The woman hadn't meant to drudge up a sensitive topic but she had. It was easy for her to recall the looks of fear and loathing on her subjects faces. The hate on the damn Charmings and their allies. No, life had proven that she was unlovable to all but her son.
Even then she had doubts that he would truly love her as he grew. Regina shook herself out her thoughts once Henry announced he was done. " Love you Mommy." He kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly as she held him close. " Mommy can Emma stay?" Henry whispered causing her eyes to widen before giving a sad smile.
" I don't know sweetie, its up to Emma." She watched as he ran over and gave Emma a hug and whispered in her ear. Grabbing the plates, the mayor fled into the kitchen and scrubbed the plates trying to control her emotions. Damn her heart. Even entertaining the idea of something for Emma was a weakness.
Not looking up from the dishes she spoke in a serious tone. " Ms. Swan, I assure you that I never say anything I don't mean." The mayor didn't turn around trying to hide her feelings as a tear trickled down her cheek. Her hands trembled as Emma confessed again before running away from the kitchen.
She wasn't loveable not by a long shot. Her hands furiously scrubbed the dishes to ignore her feelings.
Sighing she turned to look at the clock once she noticed it was Henry's bedtime. " Henry, its time to..." Her lips turned into a smile as she saw that he was curled up holding an open book. Leaning down she lifted him up and held him close.
"My precious little prince," Regina whispered as she carried him upstairs. It was slow going but soon she was at the top of the stairs and moving towards his room. Her hands struggled to open the door as she balanced Henry not wanting to wake him up.
Regina ain’t afraid of you, mate.
#i wonder if she isnt afraid because she’s been through worse at the hands of her mother #she knows she can take the physical pain #it’s the emotional pain she can’t take #and to me that’s really sad #that she doesn’t care about the physical pain #that she taunts people into trying to hurt her more #because she knows she can take that #because she knows that physical wounds will heal #and if they don’t #well it won’t matter #because she would be dead #and wouldn’t have to deal with any pain anymore #the fact that she isn’t afraid makes me afraid for her#because that is a dangerous place to be #regina feels (via connectedthroughourhearts)
Regina and Emma found a box filled with baby pictures of Henry while they were searching for Christmas decorations.

Returning to Full Circle // AU Swan Queen
Emma quickly changed, stretching the shirt over her much too large stomach, before crawling into bed with her children and bringing them close. Coraline curling around the bump, laying a hand over her belly button, while Henry snuggling into her side. Despite his age, Henry enjoyed cuddling close to his mother.
Emma laid like that, stroking her children’s hair and falling in and out of sleep for hours before she realized that Regina still wasn’t there.
The uneasiness in her stomach started to multiply and her sudden need for Regina outweighed any logical thoughts. She needed her and she wasn’t here.
Reaching for the mirror at the end of the bed, Emma sat up, whispering Regina’s name into the reflective glass.
She waited to leave until Emma was asleep. Moving with a feline grace, she placed a gentle kiss on each one of her family's foreheads and stroked the bump lightly. Her family was here but they still weren't safe. Not while Cassidy roamed free. The queen cast protection wards over them before disappearing.
Her magic was strong enough to cloak her from sight as Regina hunted for the man who dare laid a hand on her children and Emma. Regina felt her lips curl in a snarl. There would be no doubt that Neal's blood would be split. Hell, she wasn't sure who would get what. It was a toss up sending the bastard's head to the Charmings or Rumplestilskin.
Finally she made it to Emma's house, trying to determine if he was there or not. Regina narrowed her eyes as she watched him appear. The heat from the hell fire she conjured threatened to destroy her glove before she felt a tug in the back of her mind. Emma....
Fear overrode the need for revenge as she came back. "Emma?!" She rasped moving to cup the blonde's cheek. The blonde was looking a little better but still, Regina was worried about the damaged had been left behind. " What is wrong?"
