Here is Chapter Twp. Thank you for those who reviewed last chapter, it means so much to me. Please enjoy and let me know what you think
Emma held Keegan till the little girl stopped shaking and her breathing evened out. Placing the small girl on the bed and using her jacket to make a blanket, Emma stared down at the little one. She was so tiny that her whole body fit under Emmas jacket, just her head poking out. Shaking her head and turning away from the girl, Emma started looking for a way out of the cell. She went ahead and ruled out her magic, something was blocking it and she couldn't figure out what. The bars of the cell looked a little wide spread but Emma knew she wouldn't fit through but Keegan might. There were a few rocks outside the cell, just out of Emmas reach. Emma turned back to look at Keegan as she heard her stir. The little girl sat up, rubbing her eyes, Emma moved to sit next to her, gently smoothing a hand through the unruly curls.
"Hey there kid, how was your nap?"
Emma felt Keegan lean slightly into her touch, it wasn't much but it was a step in the right direction. She needed the little girl to trust her. Keegan nodded at Emma but didn't say a word.
"Hey Keegan how old are you sweetie?"
She looked up at Emma and shrugged her shoulders.
"The mean lady says I am 4 but I do not know."
Emma nodded and slowly reached towards the girl, not seeing any signs of withdrawal, Emma picked her up and put her on her lap.
"I need to see something really quick ok. I need your help, do you think you can help me?"
The little girl perked up at the prospect of being needed for something. Emma smiled at the child's excitement before she placed her down on the floor and walked over to the opening in the bars.
"Do you think you can fit through these bars to get out?"
Keegan shrugged her shoulders again but stepped closer to the door. Emma helped position her and slowly but surely Keegan was able to fit through the bars to the other side. Emma smiled at her,
"Good girl! Now I need you to hand me as many of those rocks as you can."
Taking a nervous peek at the door at the end of the hallway, Keegan started picking up as many rocks as she could and handing them back to Emma. Emma made a pile in the darkest corner of the cell, hoping that if Cora came back she would miss them.

(Flashback)
Emma sat cross-legged on the bathroom floor while Regina sat on the side of the bathtub Both of them looking at each other while they waited for Regina's phone to signal that the three minutes were up. Emma could see the stress and worry on Regina's face as she watched her phone count down the last seconds before a shrill ring filled the bathroom. Regina took a deep breath before walking over to the sink and looking down at what was sitting on the counter. Not two seconds later she collapsed on the floor in tears. Emma hurried over to her wife and pulled her into her arms and rocked her quietly, rubbing small circles on Regina's back.
"Babe what did it say?"
Regina didn't look up at Emma as her tears slowed down. She blindly reached up and handed Emma the stick and Emma took one look and dropped it to the floor. Looking over at Regina she noticed her wife looking at her with worried eyes, a look Emma herself was very familiar with. After a second a smile broke out on Emmas face and Regina looked relieved.
"Regina you know what this means? Everything is going to change now."
Regina laughed lightly as she wiped the tears from her face. Emma was so enraptured by her beauty in that moment. Regina looked so happy and she was absolutely glowing, a smile spread across her face. Emma leaned down and kissed Regina breathless. When they parted Regina took Emmas hands in hers.
"Well Mrs. Swan- Mills it looks like we are having a baby."

Emma startled awake as the heavy cell door opened in front of her, instinctively putting herself between Keegan and the door. Looking up she noticed a guard placing two bowls of food on the floor as well as two cups of what Emma could only assume to be water before slamming the door shut. Keegan woke up with a yelp and clung to Emma. The blonde turned and took the little girl in her arms.
"It's ok baby girl, no one is going to hurt you, not while I'm here."
Emma was able to remove Keegan from her arm so she went and got the food for them both. As Emma watched Keegan devour her food it made her wonder when the little girl had last ate anything. Emma herself was starving but knew that Keegan needed it more than her so she slid the bowl over to her. Keegan looked up at Emma with questioning eyes.
"Go ahead sweetheart."
Keegan shook her head and pushed the bowl towards Emma.
"Too full, I can't."
Emma looked at the little girl, her built in lie detector going off but when she tried to push the food back at Keegan the little girl would just send it right back to her. So Emma gave in and ate some of the food and then made sure that Keegan drank all her water before Emma downed her own.
When they were both finished Emma pushed the empty cups and bowls towards the cell door. Soon she heard the door down the hall open and the guards came to remove the items from the cell. As one guard picked up the plates Emma snuck her foot out and tripped him, making the items fall and shatter on the ground. Before anyone could notice Emma took a glass shard from the broken cup and stuffed it in her pocket.
"What the hell was that?"
The guard reached over and back-handed Emma hard across the face, sending her flying to the floor. As Emma crawled over to where Keegan was hiding in the corner she saw Cora hiding in the background near the other guards.
"Why did you go and hit her?"
The guard looked stunned at Cora, knowing she had seen what had transpired but did not argue.
"I'm sorry your majesty, it won't happen again."
Cora smirked at Emma before slamming the cell door shut.
"Make sure it doesn't I am the only one who gets to mark up that pretty face."
