The pale moonlight shone throughout the castle, this castle was a very dark one indeed. T'was the home of the evil queen herself, Regina.

She stood wearing nothing but the finest silks, her hands grasped her stomach, eyes wide filled with an unknown horror. It would have looked odd to those who had heard of her majesty, to see her standing with all her defenses down. "No" she hissed "love is weakness" one of her hands lifted and grasped the ends of her ink black hair.

"What is it, darling?" Regina's father called, hurrying towards her with concern written all over his face. His brow furrowed, what could possibly make his daughter scared? surely it had to be hell written, for not even the darkest of magic's could scare Regina. Never before had he seen her like this.

All she wanted was a smallest bit of revenge on little Snow White, all she ever wanted was justice brought upon her. She had planned to sleep with her Prince Charming, to ruin her happy ending but in the end Snow and Prince Charming still prevailed. The only one who got burned was Regina herself, and hell oh mighty what a burn that was. Pregnant, with Prince Charming's baby. What fresh nightmare , Regina thought darkly.

"I-I'm" hot tears streaked her cheeks "Pregnant" she whispered.

As those word's left her apple red lips it felt as though the world had changed, it seemed as though everyone in the Enchanted Forest where preparing.

Elsewhere

Gold speckled hands grasped at rusty bars, The owner of said hands was none other then Rumpelstiltskin himself, also known as The Dark One. A wicked smile spread across his thin lips "Oh guard!" he called with an odd childlike happiness in his voice, it sounded oh so it should be. The guard walked in front of the cell staring darkly, his brow raised in silent question as to what a man like Rumpelstiltskin could possibly want. Other than to be released of course.

"A wee bit of news has come to my attention, and its a bit of a doozy. Do fetch precious Snow and Charming for me" Rumple's trademark giggle echoed throughout the empty dungeon. Seeing no harm in the simple request the guard, obviously made sure that the prisoner was going to be guarded while he was gone, went and brought the two.

Snow entered, a vision of purity and utter beauty. Her long wild black curls, soft pale skin, and doe brown eyes practically screamed innocence. Flanked by her oh so handsome Prince Charming with his abs bulging from his armor and his sand colored hair in a natural bed head. The two where ideal for each other.

"What is it this time Rumple?" Charming called, one hand in front of his love for protection. Rumpelstiltskin cocked his head and let out maniacal laughter. "Wouldn't you like to know, eh deary?" He raised an eyebrow, his teeth gleaming in the light.

Snow's gaze grew worried as she grasped at her stomach, everything felt fine with the baby but how could she be sure...

"Do not fret, dear Snow, for it is not you who should be worried" his dark eyes shot over to Charming. He cackled once more with a gleeful grin planted across his face.

Charming's brow rose in confusion and tensed, what on earth could he have to be worried about? they had dealt with The Evil Queen and he did not think he had any more enemies. He scratched his chin deep in thought. Nothing came to mind.

"Do you two recall a rather specific turn of events, happened not to long ago?" Rumple turned leaning his back against the bars and bending his back, staring at them from upside down. Twisting back to his original form silence was answer enough. "Ahh. ill give you a hint, it included Charming over there and a certain evil queen?"

Their faces lit up in horrid recognition, Snow cringed, and James grit his teeth in anger.

"Come closer" Rumpelstiltskin was enjoying this far to much. After a few more whispers he managed to get prince charming right next to him.

He grinned wickedly

"She's pregnant"


The castle was dark and had a very depressing aura to it, for the curse was coming. The curse would readily tear every single person within the Enchanted Forest from their world and rip them into a new world, where no happy endings found home, and time was ageless. Two cries echoed throughout the castle, belonging to two newborns. One was the precious daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, Emma, and the other the offspring of Prince Charming and The Evil Queen, Veronica. Emma was small and dainty with soft skin and big blue eyes, while Veronica has little ringlets of black hair and bright ice blue eyes with specks of brown. The two looked so harsh in comparison, Emma soft and good, Veronica dark yet pure.

Regina, The Evil Queen, had given birth to twin's the other night; Veronica and Evangeline. Just earlier in the day the two where eagerly stolen from Regina, Charming managed to grab Veronica in time, while Cora had gotten her greedy hands on little Evangeline.

The two's fates were being decided now, and oh what fates the two would have.

"Their so beautiful" Snow looked as though she was going to cry from pure joy. "Even though she is Regina's child, she is also yours. Therefor she cannot be evil. Good will always win" Snow cooed as she stroked little Veronica's pink cheeks. A bright smile lit up on Veronica's face. Emma's little hand moved over and poked at her cheek, resulting in a bell like laughter to erupt from Veronica.

Charming and Snow stared down at the little girls their face tilted in awe.

"Snow..." Charming's brow furrowed and his face darkened considerably "what about Evangeline?" he spoke his thoughts. At first he hated the two daughters for they where conceived evilly, but once they where born he couldn't help but love them.

Veronica and Evangeline only spent a few seconds together before the to where taken, and the difference between each other where amazing.

While Jame's only managed to get the smallest peek at Evangeline he would never forget her. She had his soft salt and pepper colored hair and instead of blue eyes with brown specks Eva had doe brown eyes with specks of blue.

Fraternal Twins

No one could have determined what the outcome of the birth's would be, except for Rumpelstiltskin but something changed in him when they brought him little Veronica. He took one peek at her ice blue eyes before his entire face contorted in something similar to horror, after that he refused to speak about Veronica's future.

Though it seemed little Veronica quite enjoyed their little visit, she giggled, smiled, and seemed very happy in that moment.

Charming brooded as he stared out the window, the purple gas coming quickly. Not a second later was he off placing the two into the cabinet.
