A/N: Hello! This is my first post EVER! This story came out of a dream I had a few weeks ago, and as you can see it kind of ran away from me. I already have a lot written for this story and I have a few chapters over on AO3.

So, this story is a look into what would happen if Regina, Emma, and their family left their lives in Storybrooke behind. In this story line, Season 1 happens normally, but when Emma breaks the curse everyone is sent back to the Enchanted Forest. They still fight Cora and Henry is still taken to Neverland. When they come back from Neverland, Regina, Emma, and Henry decide to leave the Enchanted Forest. No need for beans in this story because there is a set of magic tunnels linking all of the worlds. Unfortunately, they have to forget everything and everyone and they're given false memories (similar to what Regina does for Emma and Henry in 3b).

euphoria: (elation/dreamland)

(n.) a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness.

They are walking down the passageway, Henry between them. He is clinging to both of their hands so tightly Emma and Regina wonder if he will rip them right off.
"There is no need to be frightened, Henry." Regina whispers as she places her free hand on his cheek.
"Your mom is right, Kid," Emma says as they stop walking, "we'll be alright, we can do anything."
"You should most certainly be frightened, child," Blue says stepping up to them-invading the invisible barrier everyone seems to be avoiding. Emma glares at her, "Fly away Moth," she hears Regina ground out and she laughs. Henry giggles and tightens his holds on his mothers. "You are going into the real world, some place you will not be able to discuss your true heritage, nor where you are truly from. You are being stripped of your memories because of the evil your Mother," she drawls out the word, "has caused and created."
"Do not speak to them like that," Emma says stepping in front of Henry and Regina.
Blue rolls her eyes at the protectiveness the Savior is portraying. For the Evil Queen no less, Blue thinks with a sneer.
"I'm here to take your memories," Blue says with a sickly sweet smile painted on her face.
"You will come nowhere near myself or my family," Regina says, "you know as well as everyone else that when we cross the line our lives here will be forgotten and we will be given false memories."
"Just a precaution then, Your Majesty," Blue scoffs the title, turning it into a belittling insult.
"Blue" Snow chastises. She turns to face her daughter, "are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, Mom. I need to do this," Emma replies with a small smile as she steps toward her mother.
Snow has tears forming in her eyes, "I wish we didn't have to do this, Emma. Just know that your father and love you so much. We always have and we always will."
"I know, Mom. Hey, don't let the Little Ones forget about their big sister, okay?"
"Never, Emma," Snow says adamantly, "Never again." Snow turns to her grandson, "I love you, Henry."
"I love you too, Grams," he says leaning in for a hug, never letting go of his moms.
He steps back and Snow turns to Regina. Regina is doing her best to look unaffected by everything but Emma can see that she's barely holding it together. Regina will deny it until the day she dies, but Emma knows that Regina loves this town. Her town. And she is going to miss everyone. Especially Mom, Emma thinks with a smirk. If Regina knew what she was thinking right now, Emma's sure she'd had a fireball aimed at her head. Instead, Emma reaches around Henry and rests her hand on Regina's lower back, rubbing comforting circles.
"Goodbye, Snow," Regina says dismissively.
"Goodbye, Regina," Snow says as she tentatively steps forward and before she can chicken out she wraps her arms around Regina. Emma moves her hand from Regina's back before it gets stuck in Snow's arms. Henry let's go of his mom's hand and steps toward Emma and they smile at the scene in front of them.
Regina is stunned at Snow's show of affection. So stunned that she stands frozen with her hands at her side for a moment before she hesitantly returns the hug.
Snow smiles when she feels Regina's arms wrap around her and whispers, "take care of them."
"Of course," Regina whispers back.
"And please take care of yourself too," Snow says as she squeezes Regina tighter.
Regina doesn't respond, just returns the squeeze with one of her own before retracting from the hug.
Emma notices that Regina and her mother were having a conversation, but she could not hear what they were saying, hopefully it's civil, she thinks to herself.
Regina takes a step back and grabs Henry's hand again while smiling over his head at Emma. "Ready?" she asks looking at them both.
"Yes," they say simultaneously. Sometimes, Regina is overwhelmed with the knowledge that even spending years apart, they still are so similar in their looks and mannerisms.
"Everything is ready for you over there," Archie says stepping forward to look at the three of them. "Bank accounts, fake documents, a home, cars, Henry's school, we took care and made sure that you would not need to change who you are at your core when you cross the line."
"Thank you," they all chorus.
Everyone present says their final goodbyes and they watch the makeshift family cross over the line, none of them ever looking back.

"Good Morning, darling" Regina says as she walks into the kitchen putting her earrings in and straightening out her skirt and blouse.
"Morning, babe" Emma says while flipping the bacon on the stove, "how'd you sleep?"
Regina stands behind Emma and wraps her arms around her waist and kisses her cheek, "fine, but I suppose I would have slept better-and without any odd dreams-if you had come to bed last night."
Emma turns in her arms and runs her own hands up Regina's arms to wrap around her neck, "I'm sorry, babe, but there was a case that needed to be solved."
"And is it resolved?"
"Yes."
"Good. Then you'll come to bed at a decent time tonight" she says as a statement more than a question.
"Oh, I'm definitely going to make it up to you" Emma says with a wink.
Regina rolls her eyes and leans in for a kiss.
"Ugh it's too early for this" Henry says as he stumbles into the kitchen.
Emma and Regina pull apart enough to look at their 13-year-old son and then back to each other while smiling.
Emma leans her forehead against Regina's and whispers, "getting cockblocked by our own son"
Regina slaps her chest and says, "Language, darling"
Emma shrugs and turned back to the bacon.
"Good morning dear, did you sleep well?" Regina asks as she walks towards the fridge.
"Mhmm" Henry mumbles with his head down on the island.
Regina pulls out the ingredients and starts working on making French toast.
"What are you plans for today, Kid" Emma asks while taking the bacon off of the stove.
"I think Presley's coming over to finish our project for history and then we were going to go to the park for a while after school and hang with some other people" he says while looking out the window.
"Do these 'other people' have names?" Regina asks with a raised eyebrow.
Henry rolls his eyes, "of course they do Mom, but they're just friends from school."
Emma chuckles at the stare down happening between her wife and son. She walks behind Regina, kisses her cheek and whispers, "it'll be fine, babe."
"Very well" she says while plating the French toast. "I expect you to stop here and school and check in with your mother, though."
"Fine Mom" Henry says as he digs into the plate of French toast and bacon placed in front of him.
"How long will your meetings be today?" Emma asks from her spot leaning against the counter near her wife.
"Shouldn't be too late since I'm going in early, but I'll try to come home before dinner" Regina says while putting her keys into her purse and donning her jacket.
"Well we'll be here ready for you." Emma winks.
"Really darling" Regina says with an eye roll and a small smile.
"You love me," Emma smirks as she wraps her arms around Regina's waist.
"That I do" Regina says leaning in for a kiss.
"I love you too," Emma whispers against her lips, "now go kick some ass today babe," she says smacking her wife's butt for good measure.
Regina's eyes widen, "Emma!"
Emma snickers while walking back to finish their breakfast.
"I think you'll find you will regret that action dear," Regina says with a haughty eyebrow raise.
Emma just smiles and says, "whatever you say, Your Majesty" with a wink.
Regina rolls her eyes and kisses Henry on the forehead with a reminder, "don't miss the bus, dear," and leaves.

SQSQSQSQSQSQ

"Hey babe how was work?" Emma asks as Regina walks through the door.
"Exhausting" she says as she takes off her coat and puts her purse away.
"You're home early," Emma says, wrapping her arms around Regina's waist.
"Yes, I had a few meetings cancelled and decided I could use an early evening with my family."
"I love you" Emma says kissing her and pulling her closer.
"I love you too," Regina says with a smile, kissing her again.
Just then the front door opens and in walk Henry and Presley.
"The Kid has impeccable timing, as usual," Emma whispers sarcastically, as her forehead rests on her wife's temple.
Regina just smiles and tries to pull away, but Emma keeps her arms firmly around her waist.
"Ma?" Henry yells.
"In here," Emma responds while staring at Regina.
"Hey, we're just dropping our stuff off to head—oh hey Mom," Henry says when he walks into the kitchen and notices his other mother.
"Hello dear. Presley." Regina says acknowledging their son's friend who stands awkwardly at the doorway to the kitchen.
"Mrs. Mills" he says to Regina, and then he looks to Emma, "Mrs. Mills," Emma gives him a smile.
"How was school today?" Regina asks moving out of Emma's arms and towards their son.
"Fine. We got an A on our History project today!" Henry says excitedly as he bounces on the balls of his feet.
"Wow, Kid, that's amazing!" Emma says, walking towards Henry.
"Yeah, Presley here really knows a lot about what we were talking about so it made the assignment a lot easier."
Regina smiles. "What did you end up discussing?"
"Magic" Henry says matter-of-factly.
"Magic?" Emma asks, "for a history class?"
"Yes," Presley says stepping into the kitchen, "the history of magic. How it's been perceived in the past, how it shows in this world, and how people with magic have been treated in the past."
"Really?" Emma says with a raised eyebrow and a look at Regina that screams 'what the heck?'
Regina gives a small shrug and asks, "What did you find during your research?"
"We found out that magic use is powered by emotion, the strength of the spell depends on the feelings of the caster focused into the output of magic. Negative emotions are generally used to power spells while positive emotions are used to maintain control of spells" Presley quotes.
"Did you know that magic can do almost anything you want?" Henry asks excitedly. "The only thing it can't do is bring back the dead, force someone to fall in love and change the past." Presley adds.
"Wow. I had no idea," Emma says impressed.
"Mom, did you hear me?" Henry asks.
Emma looks over to her wife and notices her staring off into space. She steps closer and puts her hand on the small of her back, "Hey."
Regina jumps slightly and looks at Emma and smiled.
"Where'd you just go?" Emma asks quietly.
"Nowhere. It just seems I'm a little distracted." She turns back to Henry and Presley (who was giving her a smug smile) "that sounds very interesting Henry, but didn't you want to go to the park today?"
"Yeah, we just stopped to drop off our stuff," Henry says dejectedly.
"Of course dear, we're very proud of you. How about we talk more about it at dinner tonight?" Regina asks with a forced smile.
"Ok! Bye Moms" Henry says pushing Presley out the door.
"Be safe Henry" Emma calls after, "and make sure you're home in time for dinner."
"Ok" he replies before the door shuts.
Emma turns to Regina, "Alright, spill. What's going on in that brain of yours?"
Regina doesn't say a thing. Instead, she roughly grabs Emma by her cheeks and kisses her.
"Whoa, Babe, easy there" Emma says pulling back a little to look at her wife, "if that's what you wanted all you had to do was ask. Is that what you were thinking about while our son and his friend were in here?" Emma asks with a smirk.
"You don't remember," Regina says quietly as she searches Emma's eyes for any recognition.
"Remember what?" Emma asks, confused at the turn of events.
Instead of answering, Regina goes to the shelf behind their sink and grabs a bowl decorated with a bunch of symbols and intricate, "do you remember when we got this?"
"Ummm, no? Was it at the farmer's market we used to go to when Henry was littler?"
"No, it was a gift from our wedding," Regina sighs as she puts the bowl on the counter.
"Oh shit, Babe, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was so sentimental. I honestly don't remember the gifts we got for our wedding. I was too busy pinching myself to make sure it really happened. I wanted to remember just how beautiful you were and how I got so lucky," Emma says wrapping her arms around Regina's waist and pulling her close.
Regina gives a small smile, "I'm sure you wouldn't remember, it was something we had to forget I'm sure."
"What are you talking about?" Emma asks looking into Regina's eyes.
"Nothing darling, I'm sure I'm just exhausted from my meetings today," Regina says with a more convincing smile and leans in to kiss her wife.
"Well if you're not too tired-" Emma starts and she pulls her wife flush against her. Regina smiles against her lips, "-we could head up to our bedroom and have some time to ourselves."
Regina nods and starts to pull away.
"Uh-Uh" Emma tsks as she pulls her wife close again. She starts kissing her again as they stumble towards the stairs.
They are up the stairs and almost to their bedroom (never once breaking away from each others lips) when Emma pushes Regina up against the wall, kissing her neck.
"Emma. Bedroom. Now." Regina whispers with her hands wound tightly in blonde locks. She wraps her legs around her wife's waist and pulls her even closer, if that was even possible.
"Momma?"
Regina's head falls back against the wall and she drops her legs to the floor.
"Can't catch a break," Emma whispers as she pulls away from her wife's neck.
Regina catches her by the lapels of her jacket and pulls her close, their lips brushing against each other as she whispers; "Oh you will definitely be finishing this later."
Emma smiles, "wouldn't have it any other way, babe."
She opens the door just to her right, "Hey there Big Guy, you know between you and your brother you're ruining Momma's game."
"Game?" he asks excitedly.
Emma rolls her eyes with a smile and picks up the little boy. "We're not on the same page I see, but that's okay, you'll figure it out someday."
"I hope you're not teaching him inappropriate things while I've been at work," Regina says from the hallway.
"Mommy!" he jumps out of Emma's arms and runs out the door.
"Hello my little prince," she says scooping him up into her arms.
"Kid's got more game that I do right now," Emma says leaning against the doorjamb looking at her son wrapped tightly around her wife.
"Don't be jealous dear, it doesn't suit you," Regina says with a smirk as she rubs her son's back and walks towards the stairs.
Emma rolls her eyes and starts to follow; thinking back to the when she found out she was pregnant.

SQSQSQSQSQSQ

"Emma?" Regina calls as she walks into the house and doesn't see her wife on the first floor.
"Up here" Emma calls as she sits back on the edge of the tub. Henry was still at school and Regina being home meant she had to tell her, but how? Oh god, she should have waited.
Regina climbs the stairs and walks into their bedroom. There is no sign of her wife in here either. "Emma?" she calls out again, this time with some wariness in her voice.
"In here" Emma whispers from the en suite.
Regina moves into the bathroom and sees Emma sitting on the edge of the tub with her head in her hands. "What's the matter?" Regina asks, sitting next to her and wrapping Emma in her arms.
"I took the test," Emma mumbles into her wife's shirt.
"Emma. You know that the chances of it working the first time are slim. It's okay, we planned for that, and a false negative is not uncommon either. We will make this work. I love you" Regina says, kissing the top of her head.
Emma shakes her head and points to the counter. "No," she whispers.
"No?"
Emma points to the counter and that's when Regina sees the pregnancy test. With two pink lines.
"You're pregnant?" Regina whispers with disbelief.
"Yup." Emma buries her head even further into her wife's chest.
"Emma! That's amazing! We're having a baby?!"
Emma pulls back to look at her wife dubiously, "you're not upset?"
"Why would I be upset? We've been trying but I didn't think the treatments would work so quickly! I wish you had waited so we could have taken the test together, but we're going to have a baby! And I cannot blame you for your impatience, I just wish you didn't have to wait alone," Regina rambled as she smiled looking at the positive pregnancy test.
"We're having a baby." Emma says with a smile.
"Yes we are." Regina kisses her. "Oh! Now we have to tell Henry. How should we do this?"
"We'll do it like we do everything else. Together." Emma says leaning into Regina.
"Together. I like the sound of that." Regina kisses Emma. "I love you."
"I love you too, babe."

SQSQSQSQSQSQ

"I missed you Mommy," their son mumbles against Regina's neck as she walks down the stairs. Emma smiles at the memory and follows
"I missed you too dear, did you have fun with Momma today?"
"Yeah!" he says sitting up excitedly, "we had french toast for bweakfast and took Henny to school and pwayed with Evy and Waw-tee and we dwawed pictures and we had 'dillas for lunch and-"
"Easy Kid, take a breath," Emma says coming to sit next to her wife and son on the couch.
He takes a deep, exaggerated breath as he glares at her.
Emma rolls her eyes and whispers conspiratorially to her wife, "his dramatic flare comes from you babe."
Regina gives a coy smile and then looks back at her son, "Momma made you quesadillas for lunch?" she asks with a bigger smile.
"Yes! And dey was so nummy, but I missed you! You shoulda comed home. Den I pwayed wit cars but den I had to take a nap but now I's awake and you is home and we can pway till Evy and Waw-tee wakes up!"
"Did you say Evy and Lottie?" Regina asks with a raised eyebrow.
He nods his head enthusiastically.
"I wish you wouldn't do that," Regina says shaking her head while looking at Emma.
She shrugs nonchalantly, leaning closer to them and says, "Tommy, remember how Momma said you have to use Evy and Lottie's real names around Mommy because she's a party pooper and doesn't like there nicknames?"
Tommy looks sheepishly at Regina and says, "Sowwy Mommy, I meant Evewyn and Shawotte."
Regina just shakes her head and looks to her wife, "Really dear? A party pooper?"
Before Emma could answer there was crying from upstairs, "saved by the babies," she says kissing Regina's cheek and tickling their son.
"Mhm" Regina hums haughtily.
Tommy giggles and pushes his face into Regina's neck, hugging her tight.
Emma walks up to the nursery to see her infant daughter in her crib, "wow baby girl, you've certainly grown into your lungs haven't you. Yes, you have. You get that screaming from your Mommy, you know" she says with a smirk. She picks up her daughter and takes her over to the changing table.
She couldn't believe that 9 months ago they found out that they were having twins.

SQSQSQSQSQSQ

"I beg your pardon?" Regina stares at the monitor in disbelief.
"There are two heartbeats," their doctor repeats.
"So our baby has two hearts?" Emma asks.
The doctor chuckles at Emma's attempt to lighten the mood while Regina looks towards her, near hysterics.
Emma grabs her hand when the doctor says, "No. You are having two babies, each with their own perfectly healthy heart." She smiles as she hands Emma a towel to wipe off the ultrasound gel.
"Twins?" Regina repeats looking at the image on the screen.
The doctor smiles gently and says, "I'll go get your print outs while you process," as she leaves the room.
Emma wipes off the gel and fixes her shirt as she stands up next to her wife. "Babe?"
Regina looks from the monitor to Emma's stomach, "twins?" she whispers.
"Twins," Emma says with a smile. "Two little jelly beans. Oooooh! They can be my little belly beans, Gina!"
Regina laughs in spite of herself. She offsets it with an eye roll, but grabs Emma's hands and pulls her close. "You will not be calling them that."
"You hear that belly beans?" Emma says looking down at her flat stomach, "your Mommy doesn't like your new nickname. Guess we'll have to keep thinking, but until then you're still the size of beans, so that's what you'll be."
"And what happens when they're each the size of a watermelon?" Regina asks with a smile.
"A watermelon?!" Emma squeals, "no way, there's two of them. There's no room for two watermelons in this body!"
The doctor had walked in on this conversation and couldn't help but laugh. The wives turned to the doctor and she held up the folder in her hands, "I thought you'd like your babies' first pictures."
"Thank you doctor," Regina says taking the folder.
"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, and currently your babies are each about the size of a Brussels sprout."
"Brussels sprouts?" Emma repeats as she looks down to her belly with a grimace, "Sprouts?" she asks again looking contemplatively down at her stomach, almost as if she's waiting for the babies to respond. "Hmmmm…seems they don't like it either. Now, belly beans? That's adorable," she puts her hands flat on her stomach. "Yup, we all definitely want jelly beans now."
Regina laughed at her wife's antics and thanked the doctor. "We have some people anxiously awaiting our news, darling," she says dragging her wife out of the room.

SQSQSQSQSQSQ

Emma laughs at the memory and looks down at her daughter. The little girl stares up at her in wonder.
"And now your Mommy is onto us and our little nickname charade so we'll have to try extra hard to convince her that it's awesome and you love it. Because-kid, you know I love you, right? Good, because Evelyn is too much name for such a little girl. Evy is much cuter, Sweet Pea."
Evy gives her a big smile as she is redressed and placed in the swing next to the changing table.
Emma turns and grabs the other baby who has started to cry, "Oh I know, I didn't forget about you Lottie, Mommy doesn't think Charlotte is too much name either, but I disagree. Now don't get me wrong, I love your name, that's why your Mommy named you girls, but it's a lot to say for such little people. But don't worry; Mommy will come around, I'm sure of it. We just have to help her see the light," she says with a conspiratorial wink.
Lottie smiles as she is picked up. Emma reaches over and grabs Evy from the swing and holds them both in her arms.
"Glad we're on the same page baby girls. Now let's turn on the charm and go see Mommy." Evie nuzzles into Emma's neck as she starts walking towards the stairs.
She walks back towards her wife and son who are now sitting in front of the couch on the floor playing with some toys.
"Hello my angels," Regina says looking up at her daughters.
"Hey babe," Emma smirks. Oh it was just too easy to rile her wife up.
"Charming," she says wryly.
"It's in my genes babe," Emma utters. Then she freezes. Where the hell did that come from? In my genes? she thinks, what does that even mean?
Regina just gives her an odd look, gauging to see if she truly remembers or not.
Emma just shakes her head to get rid of the strange thoughts; she hands one daughter to her wife, and says, "Maybe we should take the kids out for a walk?"
"Yeah to da park!" Tommy chimes in looking up from his toys.
Regina laughs, "well I guess that's settled, let's get you and your sisters ready to go to the park."
"Come on Evie and Waw-tee, let's go!" Tommy says taking off at a sprint to get his shoes on.
Emma receives the death glare to end all death glares from her wife in this moment. She decides to grin back and says, "They'll grow on you, babe."
"I highly doubt that," Regina says with a sneer.
"You said the same thing about me and look at us now," Emma declares with a smirk.
"Touché."

SQSQSQSQSQSQ

After getting Tommy ready to go outside, undressing him and taking him to the bathroom, redressing him, and getting Evie and Lottie into their seats and into the stroller with their bag packed, the Swan-Mills family was finally ready to go for a walk.
They end up walking towards the park to let Tommy run around and release some energy.
As soon as they make it to the park, Emma puts Tommy on her back, "come on Tommy" and is about to run off with him when she is stopped by a stern look from her wife.
She puts Tommy down and pushes his shoulders a little towards his other mother.
"Yes Mommy?" he asks in his sweetest voice.
"Thomas, you must remember to be safe and always stay with Momma or I, understand?"
"Yes Mommy, stay away from strangers and be safe," he says nodding along. This wasn't the first time his Mom has given him this speech. In fact he receives this speech every time they go out, so he knows exactly what to say to speed up the process.
"Exactly" Regina nods.
Emma grabs him again and throws him onto her back and takes off running towards the slide while Tommy squeals and holds on for dear life.
Regina shakes her head but she cannot keep the smile off of her face.
She looks down at her daughters who are staring back at her, "She will never change," she says with a shake of her head. The smile never leaving her face. "Now, let's find that brother of yours and see what he knows."

I hope you enjoyed! Please let me know what you think! :)
