Emma scowls as she paces the apartment magic really wasn't coming as easily as Regina or Rumple made it look, and thinking about the Mayor only deepened the scowl, she wasn't a 'brainless idiot whose's only achievement was an ass with its own gravity' thank you VERY much, she was going to get this magic to work damn it! 
 
The thicc sheriff thinks overall she remembers about magic from her admittedly basic lessons: the words don't matter, the gestures don't matter, magic is 100% about intent. Like right now she was trying to make a magical ball, apparently pretty basic according to Regina, though her thoughts are a little clouded, partly because her brain is wandering, curious as to if magic can be used to shrink her plump rear, so it doesn't look like she's smuggling Christmas hams while wearing leggings, then maybe Regina would stop bringing it up. Though if she was being honest she does kind of love the stares, especially from Ruby and Zelena, like they want to bury their faces back there and nuzzle... 
 
"Mom" 
 
"Ep!" Emma screams, accidentally swinging her arms (and the baseball-sized magical energy ball she'd unconsciously produced) in the direction of the sound, which turned out to be Henry coming to check on her and having caught her daydreaming called out to her. This was a bad idea as there wasn't exactly anything keeping the energy ball attached to Emma, so when she turned, she also basically threw it at Henry, getting him in the chest and causing the magic to flow into him "Henry! Are you ok? Regina's going to kill me" she frets as she checks him over for any kind of spell damage 
 
"Mom I'm fine, it was just empty magic, or whatever Mom calls it" the boy shrugs as he stands, then feels a little dizzy "Or maybe not" he groans as the magic begins to take effect. 
 
"Yeah, I'm going to die" Emma whimpers as she watches Henry shrink right before her eyes, settling at only 4 inches tall "You ok kid?" 
 
"Mom! Don't shout!" Henry grimaces, covering his ears 
 
"Sorry kid" Emma winces that was a pretty dumb mistake on her part "Are you ok?" she repeats more quietly 
 
"Other than being tiny, I'm fine, what did you do?" 
 
"I don't know, I was trying to make the magic work, then my mind wandered to.. oh" she facepalms 
 
"What?" 
 
"I, was thinking about using magic to, shrink my ass" she mutters, but due to his size, Henry heard it all 
 
"So you were thinking about making the dump truck a mini cooper, so I got shrunk?" 
 
"Pretty much" Emma sighs "Sorry kid" 
 
What next? 
 
1) Before anything else can be said, Henry vanishes in a flash of light, Emma was confused as to what just happened, until she felt something, squirming between her butt cheeks 
2) Emma decides to bite the bullet and ask Regina for help fixing Henry, so slipping him down the back of her pants she heads for the mansion 
3) Panic grips the blond when she notices Henry was still shrinking, though slower than the first time, until she picked him up, at which point it stopped, restarted when she set him down on the table and stopped again when she'd moved the now 2 inch boy into her clenched fist.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written.  |
