I'm so excited for all of this. If you haven't read "365 Days of Swan Queen" do that now! It will kind of help explain what is in store.

Just to kinda clarify our timeline, Emma and Regina are married, and Henry is 17. Everything is taking place after the latest season, with Regina interrupting Emma and Hook's wedding. In other words, it's a couple years after the 365th chapter of "365 Days of Swan Queen".

We're also gonna pretend that Season 7 isn't a thing and SQ will live on :)


"Regina?" Emma called, knocking lightly on the doorframe. "Are you okay?"

Regina shook her head and turned to face Emma with a dumbstruck expression on her face. "This isn't possible," she whispered. "How?"

"Magic," Emma said simply, grabbing Regina's hand and pulling her back into the bedroom. "And I don't mean that in a cheesy and dumb way, I actually mean it. We made a baby with magic."

"Maybe the test is just faulty," Regina said, gazing down at the mentioned object. "I've heard of it happening before."

Emma shrugged. "So take another one."

Regina ran her fingers through her hair. "This is so crazy. And unexpected. You know how I feel about-"

"Unexpected things, I know," Emma finished, smiling.

"You also know how I hate being interrupted," Regina said, glaring at Emma.

Emma just laughed. "If you really want confirmation, we can always go see Whale. Or another doctor if you're not comfortable seeing him after the whole Daniel thing."

"I don't want to see any doctor," Regina said. "If this is a magic thing, then you know exactly who I want to see."

"No," Emma groaned. "Please don't say who I think you're going to say. He is the last person that I would want to know."

Regina rolled her eyes. "You're so dramatic. If anyone will know anything about magical babies, it will be Gold."

"Fine," Emma said. "But if he tries to make a deal on our child's life, he's dead."


The bell overhead greeted Regina and Emma as they walked into Gold's shop. Belle was behind the counter cooing at baby Gideon, and Gold himself was watching them both with a smile on his face.

"Not to ruin your little happy moment, but we have a problem," Regina said.

Emma rolled her eyes. "What Regina means to politely say is that we need your help when you have a moment."

"An iconic duo as always," Gold said, chuckling. "What can I do for you?"

Regina glanced at Belle. "This is a very private matter that I would prefer be for your ears only."

Gold went to protest, but Belle just smiled. "I'll just be in the back. It's almost time for Gideon to nap anyway."

The three of them watched her go, and Emma felt a little ache in her heart at seeing Gideon. Hopefully he got a better chance now that he was able to start over a new life with the parents he was supposed to be raised by.

"What's this problem I need to help with?" Gold asked. "Interrupting another wedding? You seem to be good at that."

"Very funny," Regina said. "This has nothing to do with a wedding."

"Or a deal," Emma said quickly. "No deals. We just have a question that we want answered. That's it."

Gold raised his eyebrows. "Deals are what I do, dearie. If you're not willing to make a deal, I can't help you."

"Please," Regina said. "This is important."

"So are a lot of things," Gold said. "And yet I turn down people everyday that don't want to make deals."

"What do you want?" Regina asked.

"Regina," Emma warned. "We could just see a-" Regina shook her head, stopping Emma from finishing her sentence.

"Oh, now I'm intrigued," Gold said, smiling. "What I want is simple. One hair from each of you."

"What?" Emma asked. "That's gross. Are you making some kind of weird voodoo doll for everyone in town?"

Regina laughed. "No. True Love is pretty powerful. If you have a bit of each person, some pretty powerful things can be made with two hairs."

Emma looked at Gold skeptically. "And you won't use this to somehow control us?"

"It doesn't work like that anyway, dearie," Gold said. "Now, hairs please."

Emma and Regina both shared a look before pulling out a hair and putting them in a vial for Gold. He smiled before tucking it out of sight. "Now then. What's your question?"

Regina took a deep breath. "Is it possible for me to get pregnant from magic?"

Gold looked at them in surprise. "That's an interesting question to come to me with."

"Just answer it," Emma said anxiously. "Is it possible for Regina to get pregnant from magic?"

"Yes," Gold said slowly. "I suppose it is. You both know how powerful True Love is, and this is no exception. However, I would see a doctor to fully confirm it."

Regina waved a hand dismissively. "Fine, fine. Will my magic impact the baby at all? Do I need to not use magic?"

Gold shrugged. "Another question for the doctor, not myself. But since you both have magic, and the child was made with True Love, magic shouldn't harm it."

Regina visibly relaxed in relief. "Thank goodness."

The door opened behind them and all three of them jumped at the unexpected sound. Regina and Emma turned towards the door, and immediately blanched at seeing who was in the doorway.

"Mom?" Emma asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing," Snow said quickly. "What are you doing here?"

"We're not doing anything," Emma said quickly. "Just came by to say hi to Gideon and Belle. We were just leaving." She grabbed Regina's hand and they quickly ran from the store, Snow watching them leave in confusion.

"Where are we going?" Regina asked, tugging on Emma's hand to slow her down.

"The next stop on this adventure," Emma said, smirking. "The doctor's office."

Regina groaned. "Wonderful."
