The Once and Future Evil Queen

"I just sometimes think she missed crucial parts of who I am by being locked away." Lucy said quietly.

"Maybe she did but she loves you."

Amanda looked up. "Who's Red...?"

"I just sometimes think she missed crucial parts of who I am by being locked away." Lucy said quietly.

"Maybe she did but she loves you."

"I just sometimes think she missed crucial parts of who I am by being locked away." Lucy said quietly.

"Maybe she did but she loves you."

"I've been either a mother, a victim or a criminal. It's nice just to be a woman for once." Kelly said with a shrug.

"I enjoy just Kelly." She smiled. "What would you like to do today?" There was a lot to do around the lodge.

Kelly smiled widely. "I'd like to go riding. Then perhaps a little walk with Olivia before lunch. She enjoys that."

"You are in charge." Snow smiled happy not to be for once.

"Thank you. Id like for him to say goodbye to his daughter. I don't want him in her life.' Kelly said quietly

"I'll have Walter send someone with you."

"Thank you." Kelly said quietly. "I worried you'd be upset.

"I'm not jealous. Theo is an idiot but I was fond of him once."

"I was more worried about him hurting Regina than jealousy. You have no reason to be jealous." Kelly said quietly.

"I consider that he's paid the price for that and I made him suffer by knowing that he failed me."

"She wants to feel safe but she does know you were in a desperate position."

"She required that I tell her everything I did every day. In great detail." Kelly explained. "She doesn't ask for it anymore but I still do it.

"Do you feel comfortable telling her?"

"She's always liked children." She nodded

"I...enjoy when you're protective of me." Kelly admitted. "I'm fine with Regina. It's just a complicated relationship.

"You are mine. Of course I'm going to take care of you."

"We're sure it's just a cold?" Snow asked carefully.

"Charlotte thinks so.' Ginny said simply. "Seems witches rarely get sick unless they get it from each other.

She nodded and brought her favorite chicken soup to Regina's room once she'd changed clothes from traveling.

Snow got in bed with her. "She was a very good girl."

"Ginny said she was a trooper."

"I doubt most people like feeling sick." She pulled a blanket over both of them.

"I'm not. She's very much in love with me but I think she understands that she can only have so much of my attention."

"I do hope so. Then again I had to learn to share too." Regina said with a shrug.

"I missed you." She stroked her and was trying to make her feel better."

She laughed. "You do enjoy her."

'She's easy to be around." Regina admitted.

"I'm going to take care of you until you are better."

"Witches don't get sick. I'm going to be a lousy patient." Regina said bluntly.

"I don't think it's because you are a witch that you will be a lousy patient but you are my wife."

"Do we need to wait for me to want to take care of you?"

Snow cuddled and did spend the next few days concentrating on taking care of Regina until she was starting to feel better.

Red smiled. "Regina is sick and thought I'd rather spend the time with you."

"I didn't picture you as the owning people sort." Red wasn't judging her. She was in fact relaxing a lot. She loved being around Lucy.

"No." Lucy shook her head. "My mother has been dead for a long time. I guess she was one of his first."

"I'm glad you like her and she is changing her mind about you." She smiled a little. "Are you having an easier time communicating with your wolf?"

She chuckled. "You mean White wanted to take care of her."

"Yes." Lucy said with a shrug. "She's great at it. And I realized I don't care if she sees me as a monster but I don't want her to see White as one.

"White likes protecting people." Red knew that rather directly.

"Yeah." Lucy said softly. "You would know wouldn't you?"

"Not better than you. But I do spend a lot of time with her." She pointed out.

"You're both protective." Lucy said gently. "You and your wolf.

"You are too, in your own way. With people in our pack." She pointed out. "You are protective of me."

"I've been either a mother, a victim or a criminal. It's nice just to be a woman for once." Kelly said with a shrug.

"I enjoy just Kelly." She smiled. "What would you like to do today?" There was a lot to do around the lodge.
