Despite their rocky start, Regina proceeded to give the Swans a tour of Storybrooke. She even took them to her vault and showed them around. They returned to the mansion and got settled and Regina pulled out the grill for the barbecue she and Emma had planned for that afternoon as a way for the Swans to get to know Regina's few friends and family from Storybrooke. She invited Zelena of course, Ruby, Belle, Archie, Pongo, Jefferson, Grace, Tink, and Robin but only to see Roland. They couldn't begin any festivities anyway until Emma, Grace and Xander returned from their private little talk with Snow and David. It was all Regina could think about as she magically made up her backyard into the perfect place for a evening party.

"So, Regina, have you given any thoughts to a bachelorette party?" Jacob asked, watching in fascination as her magic worked. Tiki torches sprouted from the ground, the grill was filled with charcoal, lawn chairs sprung into existence, some of the swinging variety and other regular ones. She added in some games and balls and dog toys for the children and the dogs.

"What's that?" She asked after she had complete her task.

"It's a, uh celebration, for women about to be married. I keep forgetting you don't know about this kind of stuff. But yeah, you know, you get drunk, go to clubs, invite some strippers over…"

Regina scowled in disgust. "Why would I want to have someone strip for me that isn't Emma?"

He only smiled. "It's for fun, your majesty."

"Not my idea of fun."

"Well, what is your idea of fun?" He asked in a posh accent. "Riding a black stallion across a lush meadow...dragging your screaming enemies behind you?"

"Occasionally."

"Got any good war stories?"

Regina smirked. "I'll do you one better. Follow." She walked into the living room and commandeered the tv from Henry and Elias. She drew out the memories of one of the greatest battles she'd ever won against Snow's army and placed a spell on the tv, allowing the memories to be shown, almost like a movie. The battle was towards the middle of the war, one of the bloodiest and it had taken all of Regina's skill as a commander to win. Her army was far more disciplined and skilled than Snow and David's but she was greatly outnumbered, almost 10 to 1, but she didn't back down. At that point in time she was consumed with winning. She didn't care if she lost her entire army to bring Snow down. Everyone gathered in the living room to watch.

"Regina, you look scary as hell." Jacob commented, watching her blast away soldiers with a wave of her hand.

"That was the point." Regina smirked.

"Miss Gina, you're so cool!" Elias almost yelled after she dismounted her horse and charged in to rally her men.

"Duh." Henry said.

Regina smiled and looked up as the front door opened and Grace, Xander and Emma walked in. "Everything okay?" She asked.

"Just peachy." Grace answered, going upstairs, her husband following.

Emma picked up Regina and carried her to the back door, stepping just outside it and closing the door behind her.

"Emma? Did they fight again?"

"No, they actually talked." Emma put down her lover and kissed her forehead. "But everything they had to say...I wish I hadn't heard."

"What did Snow and David say?" Regina asked, hating to see Emma this way. She knew that she hadn't really talked to the Charmings about them giving her up, and she knew that Grace would hold nothing back during a conversation with the parents she had disliked since finding out how Emma was found.

"They uh, told us why they sent me through the portal. But I can understand that. I hate it and I think it was selfish but I understand it. It's just...when it came to Lily, there was only one reason and it's one Mom and Dad can't forgive. Selfishness. They didn't need to take out my darkness and they most certainly didn't need to kidnap Lily and put it in her. I just...I don't know what to do now."

"Nothing." Regina said. "You do nothing. Snow and David will have to earn Lily and Mal's forgiveness. That's their problem, not yours. Grace and Xander don't need to play ball with them if they don't want to. That's the good thing about you being an adult. There's no child to fight over, no custody battle. You can make your own decisions about everything. Unfortunately though, dear, all of your parents are good people, who all make bad decisions sometimes. I don't agree with Snow and David's decision, so don't think that, but I think we both can agree that they love you. And as clueless as they are when it comes to parenting, they will always love you."

Emma looked at her, eyebrow arching slightly. "Are you high?"

"No." She smiled. "I just hate to see you so conflicted."

"Well, I know you're right, but it's going to take some time."

"You have plenty of it." Regina replied, kissing her nose. Emma suddenly slammed her against the door and kissed her hard on the lips. Regina's fingers slipped under Emma's shirt, dragging her nails down the blonde's abs, smiling when she felt them spasm under her touch. It took everything in her not to rip the shirt to shreds and instead she barely managed to push Emma off of her. "Emma Swan, watch it."

"A little hard to do when you're dressed like that." Emma replied, panting, her eyes as black as sin.

Regina glanced down at her royal blue dress that stopped just above her knee and hugged all of her curves. It honestly wasn't much, knowing her extensive wardrobe. She scowled. "Well you could stand to wear some pants that aren't painted on! Who else are you trying to impress, Emma? Are there any other women I should know about?"

"Yeah, your other personalities!"

"Fuck you, Emma!"

"I wish you would!"

Henry and Elias heard the shouting from the house and went to investigate and found his mothers in the backyard, Regina's arms locked around Emma's neck from behind. "You guys okay?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, Mommies are just having a discussion." Emma said. "We'll be back in in a second."

"Okay..." The boys went back into the house and Emma rolled on top of Regina, forcing her to let go, and sat on top of her stomach.

"Get off of me." Regina hissed.

"Nope. Maybe I will for my strip tease that I won fair and square!"

"How can I do that pinned to the ground?" Regina raised her hand, using her magic to fling Emma across the yard. The queen got back to her feet, only to be knocked back down by a burst of light magic from her fiance. "Miss Swan," She smirked, getting into a crouch. "You don't want to do this."

"You started it." Emma returned. "Thanks for those magic lessons by the way."

"You're still not on my level, dear." Regina grinned. Emma fired again, an almost wave of pure light magic slamming into her with brute force. She managed to absorb most of it...but that was her first mistake.

Emma frowned when Regina's eyes rolled back into her head. "Regina?!" She started to make her way to her fiance, but Regina blinked and her eyes returned to normal, except this time...they were glowing purple. "Oh shit." She took off running around the side of the house, Regina hot on her trail despite being in 6 inch heels. She ran around to the front door and ran in, closing and locking the door behind her. "MAL!"

"What?!" The dragon yelled from the kitchen where she was once again with Max. She stepped out and found Emma trying to keep Regina out of the house.

"Something happened to Regina. We were fighting and started using magic and her eyes started glowing!" Regina suddenly slammed into the door, knocking Emma off her feet. She quickly scrambled up and got behind Mal as the queen tore the door open. "What's wrong with her?!"

Mal sighed. "That is what happens when you play with magic, and you play with a powerful sorceress who hasn't had sex in a while."

"So she turns into a horny demon?" Emma asked. Regina threw up her hands, a cloud of purple smoke covering her. "Where'd she go?"

"I have no idea, and she's horny, yes, but not a demon. Sorceresses love magic, dear. It's a turn on. It's also very dangerous because this would be Regina's first time trying to-" Regina suddenly appeared behind Emma and grinned as she slammed her against the wall and kissed her. It was a kiss unlike any other. A deep, soul shattering kiss that turned the magic in her blood to fire. Maleficent turned around and smacked Regina and her eyes returned to normal.

"Ow, Mal, you didn't have to hit me that hard." She whined like a child, holding her face.

"I'm sorry but you were acting crazy."

"What are you talking about? I was getting Emma back for being a bitch!"

"I'm a bitch?! You're the crazy one!" Emma snapped.

"Fuck you, Emma!"

"Let's go, Regina. You keep saying you will but you never do."

Mal snapped her fingers and both women collapsed to the floor. "Lily, Dianah!" She called. "Take the children upstairs and put them to bed please."

When Regina came to she was laying in bed, with Emma sound asleep next to her. She sat up and pushed Emma out of bed.

"Ow, Regina, what the hell?"

"That is for being a bitch." Regina replied. She checked her phone and found that it was almost 6 O'clock and she could smell grilling meat from downstairs. "Come on, we're late."

"What the hell happened?"

"Mal knocked us out. I hate it when she does that. I'm gonna have a headache from it tomorrow." Regina rolled out of bed and magically changed her clothes into jeans and a black blouse. Emma groaned from her place on the floor and Regina got down and crawled over to her. "Come on, family barbecue. Aren't you hungry?"

"For you, yes."

Regina smirked and kissed her cheek. "Come on. How about I give you that strip tease later?" Emma suddenly disappeared, appearing at the door.

"Come on, what are you waiting for?" The blonde demanded, running outside.

Regina rolled her eyes and followed her downstairs. Everyone had already gathered and were talking amongst themselves while the kids played with all the dogs.

"Mal told us not to wake you up." Ruby said, handing Regina a glass of iced tea.

"Thank you." The werewolf nodded and sauntered back over to Lily and Dianah. Regina looked around, a smile forming on her lips at the sight of her family, new and old. Grace and Xander were taking with Archie next to the grill. Jacob was flirting with Tink. Belle and Evie were sitting in the swinging lawn chair, deep in discussion, while Zelena was showing Jackson some magic. Mal and Max were a little away from everyone else, not talking, but probably listening, enjoying each other's company. The scene before her was so perfect. A hand made its way to her stomach, envisioning it swollen with a child. She knew it was impossible, but to have a child with Emma...it would be a dream come true.

"Babe, you okay?" Emma asked, coming to her side. She put a hand over Regina's and looked down at her stomach. "What is it? Are you sick?"

"No, just thinking." Regina smiled. "Just...excited...and hopeful."

"Hopeful? About what-" Emma suddenly grabbed her neck. Her legs buckled and she crashed to the ground. Just a few feet away, Mal and Lily did the same. Zelena hit the ground a second later, convulsing and whimpering in pain.

"Emma?" Regina felt a sharp pain in her neck. She touched the place and felt something cold. The world started to spin, a little too fast because the next thing she knew she was on the ground. She heard screams and gunshots and struggled to raise her head. Alexander hit the ground, the sound almost thunderous. Two arrows were in his chest. He ripped one out and got back to his feet. A third pierced his leg and he fell again. Rose fell next, blood pouring from a hole in her chest. Even with it she continued trying to crawl across the lawn. Regina took a deep breath and rolled over to see what she was trying to get to. Everything was distorted, appearing slow but loud and quick to her ears. 6 men, robed in black. 2 of them had Henry and Elias. 2 more were fighting off the dogs. The 5th was firing some kind of gun. Dianah and Grace fell, the black bolts sticking out of them like porcupines. Anyone left was soon felled by the 6th. Except for one. The 6 men got into a truck Regina didn't recognize and Ruby suddenly got back to her feet. She stumbled, but she managed to shift into wolf form and give chase. A few moments later another gunshot rang out and she heard Ruby fall, her cries of pain loud and gut wrenching. Regina tried to get up, but her limbs felt like lead. "Henry." She struggled in vain, but nothing brought her any closer to her son. That's when everything went black.
