-A New Home-

"Finally finished." Regina stood in a light blue, freshly painted room. Dozens of stuffed animals sat neatly arranged on the bed, brand new books filled the small dark brown bookshelf. An identically colored dresser, filled to the brim with toddler sized clothing sat next to it. And a tiny childrens table was across the room drowning in coloring books with a jumbo size box of crayons.

Regina glanced anxiously at her watch, "They'll be here any minute." She quickly made her way through the house to the front door. She started spinning the plain band she wore on her finger, a nervous habit she'd had since high school, and began pacing the foor as if she were trying to put a hole through it.

A sudden loud knock came from the door, startling the anxious woman. She took a slow deep breath, smiled, and opened the door.

"Are you Regina Mills?" A pixie cut brunette with bright green eyes, carring a small backpack asked.

Regina's hand tightened on the door handle, her shoulders tensing. "Yes. I am Regina Mills. And who, may I ask, are you?"

"Oh right. I'm Mary Margaret. The social worker. And this is Emma, the little girl you're adopting." Mary Margaret stepped to the side reveling the small blonde clutching the back of her leg.

Regina let out a breath, her smile softening. Emma's little blue-green eyes kept darting from Regina, to the ground, to MM and back again. Regina pulled the door open and lead them inside. Once the door was firmly shut she crouched down in front of the little girl.

"Hello little one," Regina spoke softly, like one would to a frightened animal. Emma blinked and shuffled closer to MM.

"Say hi to the lady Emma," Mary Margaret encouraged, hopeing to get Emma to at least get Emma to talk with her new mom.

"H-hi." Emma stuttered out as she burried her face against MM's leg.

"She's really shy."

"That is alright. She's in a new home and in an unfamiliar town. I'm sure that she will get comfortable in her own time," Regina said as she stood, "where are her bags?"

"Oh well, this is it right here." the social worker held up the child's backpack. "Two shirts, a pair of jeans, toothbrush and toothpaste, all in here."

"That's all?"

"That's all that the previous family she was with had for her."

Regina pursed her lips. Clearing her throat she thought, "Well it's good that I thought to go buy everything ahead of time then. And Ruby thought I was going overboard."

"Well, why don't you both come into the kitchen, I'm sure you could both use a snack after the long drive."

"I would love to, but I have to get back to the office. Here is her bag." MM put her hand on the blonde's head, "You be good okay Emma. I'm sure that you'll be real happy here." The young girl only blinked, then started to suck on her thumb.

Once MM had left Regina crouched down to Emma's eye level. Holding out her hand she gently asked, "How about we go and put your bag in your room? Then we can get you a snack and I'll show you around."

Emma looked down at the floor and nodded, timidly taking the brunette's hand, thumb still in her mouth.

When they arrived at the little girl's new bedroom Regina set the worn bag next to the door and stepped further inside bringing Emma with her. "This is your room Emma. I didn't know what color you like best so I had it painted blue. If you don't like it then we can always have it painted something else."

Emma didn't respond. She let go of Regina's hand and looked at the overflowing, hand carved, chest of toys at the foot of the bed.

Regina made her way over to the window and opened the purple curtains, the sunlight brightening the room.

"Do you like your room Emma?" Regina asked unsure if everything was to the child's liking.

"Mine?" Emma quietly asked pointing to the coloring books.

Regina smiled softly, "Yes, those are for you. This room and everything in it is yours." Little green eyes widened. Emma looked around the room, her tiny jaw hanging open. She pointed at the stuffed animals and the bed then in an awed whisper asked, "Mine?"

Regina nodded, grabbing a stuffed tiger from the pile and gave it to the pint-sized blonde. Emma clutched the toy tightly in her hands, as if it would be ripped away from her if she didn't.

Emma looked up at Regina a small, hopeful, smile on her face. She pointed at Regina and said, "Mine."

Regina beamed, chocolate brown eyes sparkling with tears of joy. "Yes sweet girl. Yours."
