The streets of Storybook are quiet except for two lone figures walking down the side walk almost arguing. A blonde mother and dark haired daughter bicker as they stroll down the street.

"I don't know why you wont tell me who my father is?" Lily says exasperatedly.

This argument had been going on since the second day Lily came to town. Maleficant had avoided giving her an answer and Lily was becoming very peeved. She wants to know who her father is. If she has to be stuck in a small going nowhere town she wants to make the most of her time here.

"I just-… Lily you need to give me some time with this." Mal says and Lily slaps her hands against her tights.

"I cant talk to you!" Lily says stalking away.

"Lilith please! Don't walk away from me." Mal says desperately and Lily spins around.

The older woman sounded so distressed and no Lily didn't want to purposely hurt anyone, but know about your birth mother and seeing her constantly is a lot different and a lot to process. Especially since the older dragon had taken to trying to coddle her. Emma said Snow did the same thing to her and still does. Its a mother thing apparently.

"What do you want?" Lily asks exasperated

"I'll tell you." The mom says softly and Lily walks back over to her.

"Great, now we're making progress." Mal looks worried but keeps walking. Lily looks confused but fallows her anyway.

Maleficant walks up Regina's lawn to her door and knocks loudly. Lily looks around taking in the size of the house and lawn. What she wouldn't have given to have had a foster house like this. A few moments later the door swings open to reveal the mayor in all her glory.

"Maleficant?" Regina says confused stepping into the doorway.

"Can we come in. We really need to talk." The dragon asks and Regina looks at Lily who shrugs just as confused.

"Sure come in." Regina says motioning them in. Regina closes the door as the mother and daughter into the house. Lily looks around in wonder at the grander of there large parlor.

"Can i get you something to drink?" Regina asks looking at the pair who shake their heads in unison.

"Okay than come on." Regina guides them into the living room. Regina sits in a white leather chair while the other pair take the couch. Lily takes the end furthest away from her mother who looks momentarily hurt, but at this point she was getting used to it.

"Okay Mal whats this all about?" She asks crossing one tan leg over the other.

"I have to tell the truth. Both of you need to know it." She say making Regina and Lily share a look.

"Where are you going with this?" The child asks her mother.

"Honey you want to know the truth about your other parent and Regina is part of this truth." The dragon says softly and Regina raises an eyebrow.

"Regina do you remember all those years ago in the other world when we spent time together." Mal asks and Regina nods still not fallowing. They had spent many restless nights tangled up in joined bed sheets.

"Why do i care about all the time you spent with the Evil Queen?" Lily snaps irritated

"Because she is your other parent." Malfeasant exclaims provoking wide eyes from the other two woman. Thats not how she wanted it to come out but at this point what does it matter how it comes out.

"Thats not possible!" Lily says jumping up and moving away from the couch.

"This is typical. You just don't want to tell me the truth!" Lily growls while Regina's eyes get wide and she looks at the blonde mother. All those nights they spent together. The magic they used on their bodies.

"Oh my god its true!" She says and Lily's head snaps to look at her.

"Excuse you?"

"Well dear magic is strange. In the other world you can do all sorts of things with it. Your mother and I used to do all sorts of things in our trysts back home-…"

"No! i refuse to hear about you two having sex!" Lily snaps

"Well at one point we recreated some male genitalia." Regina continues on ignoring her recently discovered child, before looking at the dragon.

"But i thought it couldn't get you pregnant." she says and Mal shakes her head.

"I didn't think it could either." she whispers and Lily looks is looking at them like they have lost their minds. This is great, her mother was crazy and slept with crazy people as well. Perfect, just what her new life needed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Regina asks even though her eyes never leave her newly discovered daughter.

"Because she was stolen by the Charming's while she was still in her egg and when they took her i could no longer sense her presence. I thought they killed her, there was no reason for both of us to have lost a child." She explains and Regina steps closer to Lily.

"This is insane." Lily snaps rubbing her head.

"Honey you need to calm down." Mal says sensing her child getting worked up. She doesn't want her to shift into Dragon form. Her first shift could cause real damage if she doesn't know what to do. They don't need to do that in a house in the middle of town.

"Don't talk to me!" she screams and Regina smells a shift in the air a moment before Lily disappears in a cloud of red smoke.

"Just great!" Regina sighs dropping her hands to her sides. Her kid had magic and had already discovered how to teleport.

"She has magic?" the other mother whispers looking at the spot that once held their daughter.

"Not surprising really." Regina says moving into the spot that her daughter was just in. The magic in the spot was very strong, almost suffocating.

"I'll go find her. Go get something to eat or drink from the kitchen. You don't look so good." The witch says before concentrating on the residual magic and poofing out.

Regina appears on the docks at the pier and looks around for her daughter. She spots a figure on a bench and starts to walk down the dock to her. As she gets closer she sees its Lily looking at her turn up palms. As she gets closer she sees little flickers of magic coming from the hands. When she gets there Lily looks up at her.

"How did I do that?" she asks and Regina motions to the seat next to her asking for permission to sit and Lily nods so Regina sits down.

"I have magic and so it only makes sense that you have it." She brunette explains and the daughter looks out at the ocean. The younger doesn't speak so Regina uses this time to observe her oldest child. She has Mal skin and nose but Regina's eyes and hair.

"Do you want to talk?" the older witch asks after a moment and the younger shakes her head.

"I cant talk to you. You are going to tell Mal everything." Lily says and Regina stands to move in front of her.

"Listen, yes i'm going to talk to your mom about you since you are our daughter, but I am also just your parent and if you ask me not to i wont tell her what we talk about." She says and Lily locks her jaw.

"Don't call her my mom." she says and Regina sighs

"Why are you so angry with her?"

"She didn't protect me. She let them take me. How do two mortals get away with stealing a baby from a dragon?" Lily chuckles darkly

"Listen your mo-… Maleficant would never have let them take you if she could help it. She loves you." Regina explains and Lily shakes her head

"I don't care. I don't want to see her." she says and Regina rubs her head. This angry woman was so much like Mal and herself. All the rage bottled up waiting to explode like a volcano.

"Do i need to be worried about you skipping town?" she asks and the young witch looks up at her.

"no i'm going to hang around for a bit. You seem pretty cool." she says and the mother smiles.

"Good. Now that i don't have to worry about chasing you around the country at all hours i can go check on Mal." she says and lily looks at her confused.

"Why are you helping her. She never even told you, you had a kid."

"The same reason i help Emma… She's my kids mother." She explains and Lily rolls her eyes.

"Okay so i'm going home. If you want to stay somewhere other than the inn come by later and i will set you up in a guest room." The mayor says and her daughter smiles. It would be so awesome to stay in such a big house and Regina didn't seem so bad. She had been the Evil Queen after all.

"Will she be there?" The daughter asks and Regina looks almost like she will fight Maleficant's cause one more time, but thinks better of it.

"Probably not."

"Okay cool."

"Good." Regina says before poofing back to the manor to deal with her other issue… The mother of her oldest child.
