"A what? A what?!" Henry said excitedly.

"Looks like you're having a baby girl." Dr. Whale said.

Henry practically jumped out of his seat from hearing this news. He couldn't believe it, he was going to have a little sister.

Daniel reached down and gave me a hug and a kiss, "I love you." He said with tears of joy in his eyes.

I tried to clear my throat so I wouldn't sound like a choked up crybaby, but I couldn't, "I love you too!"

I was so happy to see how happy everyone else was. Especially Henry, I was glad he didn't take it hard. He was still pretty much jumping off of the walls with excitement, all while his eyes were glued to the screen.

He came over to me and put his head down to my belly and whispered, "Hey little sis, it's your big brother." I immediately got tears in my eyes, I knew he was going to be a great brother, "I can't wait until I can meet you." He continued. He looked up at me and said, "How much longer until she's here?"

"About 6 more months, Henry." Dr. Whale stepped in.

"Awesome." Henry was still in awe.

"We'll have 6 months to prepare ourselves for being the only guys in the house, Henry." Daniel winked at him.

Henry laughed, "Oh yeah!"

"Take one more look, Henry. I have to get going." Dr. Whale said.

"I can't wait to meet her!"

"None of us can, Henry." Daniel smiled at him.

Whale finished up and made sure everything was okay with her. He cleaned me up and we left.

"Have you guys thought of any names yet? What room is she getting? I wonder what she'll look like…"

It was like 20 questions coming from the back seat.

I laughed, "No Henry, we haven't had much time to think of a name yet. No one knows about her except us, Tink, and Dr. Whale. That's all."

"No one knows yet?" He asked with so much wonder in his voice.

"Nope, no one." Daniel replied.

I could almost hear the wheels turning in his head, he was going to make sure the whole town knew about this!

"Henry, are you staying with Emma tonight or staying at home?" I asked.

"I'll probably go to Emma's." I knew he'd say that, that way he can tell all of them.

"Do you want me to drop you off now?" I asked

"Yes please." He replied.

We dropped him off at Emma's and went back home. Finally, some alone time…it felt like we hadn't been this way since our honeymoon. Don't get me wrong, I still loved Henry being there, obviously, but sometimes it's nice to just have you and your husband (along with baby girl!)

I went upstairs and changed into house clothes, they were so much comfier. I came back down and sat on the couch, and Daniel sat down too.

I laid my head over in his lap, "I love you." I whispered.

He replied, "I love you too," and put his hand on my stomach, "I love you too, little girl."

Just those words flowing from his mouth made me cry, obviously the hormones were pretty wacky, but it was all so surreal. I'm married to the love of my life, I have one beautiful boy, and another beautiful girl on the way. Life just seemed amazing.

"What are we going to name her?" Daniel asked, still rubbing my belly.

"I'm not sure, do you have anything in mind?" I replied.

"Not really, I did want to ask if we could let Henry give her a middle name."

"I think that'd be a great idea. That way he'll always be a part of her, no matter what. I can't wait to let him know! He'll be so excited." I said.

"I think he'll love giving her a middle name." He said, "So how's work been lately?"

"Stressful, as always. Snow messed so many things up so it's even more work than I would have normally."

"Don't get too stressed out, it's bad for her, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is. But I won't let myself get too stressed, I'll be hiring another assistant soon, now that everyone knows why I need another assistant."

"Chloe," I called.

"Yes Mayor?" she replied.

"I've got a new assistant coming to work with me, she'll be here today."

"What? Does that mean I don't have a job?" She replied worriedly

"No not at all! I have an announcement that I'll be making later today once everyone is here, Ann, the newest assistant, will be learning under you. I trust you will be a good teacher for her?" I asked.

"Yes Madam Mayor, I will do my best! May I ask what the announcement pertains to?"

"You'll find out tonight." I smiled at her.

She went on to do her work, but she was still thinking about the Mayor's announcement. What did she have to tell us, and it must be important because she's telling us at one time? This worried Chloe and distracted her a little from her work.

Later that evening, after everyone was there, I decided to call them all into my office and tell them the news.

I stood behind my desk and waited for everyone to get inside, "Thank you all for coming. I have an announcement to make."

The room was hushed, no one said anything. You could hear a needle drop in a room full of 20 people.

"The first family is expanding." I decided to play a little with them. Nothing.

"Remember earlier this year that I said I was going to 'deliver' for Storybrook?" Still nothing, but this time the one press officer in the crowd took out his pen and paper, he knew there was something big going on.

Finally I gave up the taunting, "I'm pregnant." Gasps went around the whole room. "I'm due March 29th." Again, gasps. Then the congratulations came, and the questions came, "Boy or girl?" "Boy that was quick!" "What's his/her name?", and for some reason I politely stood there and answered all of the questions. Man, Daniel coming back really changed me, but this little baby has changed me even more.

After all the questions were over, everyone went back to their jobs. Though it was almost time to leave, Chloe came in with Ann.

"Hello Madam Mayor, I just wanted to congratulate you again. I'm very happy for you." Chloe said.

"Thank you, Chloe." I smiled.

"How far along are you?" She asked.

"About twelve weeks, thirteen tomorrow."

"Aw that's great!"

"Thank you, Ms. Chloe. Can I have a word with Ann please?"

"Yes Madam Mayor." Chloe left the room.

"Hello Ann, how was your first day today?"

"It was very good. It's a lot to get used to, but I can do it. I have a good teacher too." Ann replied.

I stood up, I realized I was about the same height as her. "How old are you again, Ann?" I asked, out of curiosity.

"I just turned 20, Madam Mayor." She replied. This young woman was very polite, she was pale skinned, with very dark brown hair.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh I was just wondering."

Though in the back of my head, wheels were turning. I wasn't "just wondering" like I played off to be. She looked too familiar.

"That's all I needed, Ann. Thank you."

She nodded and walked out of the room.

I gathered my things and drove back home, I was practically starving. Eating for two was a lot to do!

"I'm home." I shouted as I walked in the door.

Henry greeted me right as I got into the corridor, "Hey mom! Don't stay downstairs, I have a surprise. Please go upstairs! No peeking…"

"What are you up to?" I asked him.

"I can't tell, hence the 'surprise'!" He was practically pushing me up the stairs, "Okay, please don't come down until Dad or I tell you to."

I went to my bedroom, I felt as though I had just been grounded? By my son? Hmmm, that's unusual! I took my shoes off and laid them in the closet, then went and sat on my bed.

I took my phone out and thought to myself, "Daniel didn't text me today at his normal time. They really must be up to something."

Just then I heard the front door shut. Daniel came upstairs and opened the bedroom door, "Hello my lovely wife!" he sounded extra giddy today, "May I escort you downstairs?"

I got up and he put his hand over my eyes and led me the whole way down the stairs. Talk about trust!

I got to the bottom of the stairs, his hand was still over my eyes, "Daniel, what is this all about?" I asked him.

"You'll see very soon!"

We walked a little farther to the dining room, he said, "When I count to three, open your eyes…1…2…3!"

I opened my eyes to what was one of the biggest, happiest surprises.

Almost everyone in the town of Storybrook was in my dining room, squished together. They all yelled "SURPRISE!"

I had tears in my eyes, "Thank you everyone!" I looked over to Daniel, "What is this all about?"

"It's a celebration party, it was all Henry's idea." He said, then we both looked over to Henry, who had the biggest smile on his face that I've ever seen.

"You're welcome, mom."

I ran over and gave him a hug, "Thank you, little prince. Did you put all of this together in only one day?"

"Yeah, but I had help from Daniel and Emma." He replied, "Funny thing is, none of them know what they're celebrating except Emma, Tink, and us." He grinned.

"When are we going to tell them?" I asked

"In about thirty minutes!" Emma replied, from across the dining table.

"Well, I guess I should change into something a little more festive then, shouldn't I?"

Henry nodded.

"Are you surprised, Regina?" Daniel asked while he was waiting for me to change.

"Very! I can't believe you three put this together and got everyone here in such short notice."

"It was all Henry's idea, he's a good kid."

"Yes he is, always has been. Except when I first got him when he was a baby, he wouldn't shut up, always crying. Then I finally-" I paused.

"Finally what?" He asked.

"We just clicked. I don't know what happened really."

"Well that's a good thing, you've raised a very good young man." He looked at me and smiled, "Are you ready to go back to your party?"

"Let's go." I held his hand as we walked downstairs.

"Ahh the life of the party is back!" Charming shouted.

We both laughed.

"So what is this announcement that we've all been waiting to hear?' Snow asked.

"You'll find out in about 10 minutes. I'd like you all to come into the living room at 7:00, and I'll make my announcement then." I said.

"How are we going to tell them?" Daniel asked.

"Well, I was thinking I'd do the same thing with this group as I did in my office, I told them that the First Family was expanding. Maybe this group will catch on a little faster than the others did." I giggled, "I finally just ended up telling them what was going on."

"Were they all okay with it?"

"Of course they were, even if they weren't, they work for me still." I replied.

"Well, I guess it's good that they all took it well."

About five more minutes passed, and it was 6:59. I went in to the living room to make sure everyone was there. Henry nodded at me, as if he were saying "Go ahead".

"First, Daniel and I would like to thank you all for coming to celebrate this surprise announcement with us, and we'd also like to thank Henry for putting it together so soon." I smiled at Henry, then everyone else turned and smiled to him.

"Today, we'd like to announce that the First Family is expanding." I said with a smile. No one said anything out loud, but they were all in hushed tones to the people standing beside them. I looked up and Daniel and smirked, then looked back into where my guests were, "Remember how I said I was going to 'deliver' for Storybrook?" That got everyone's attentions. There were gasps everywhere.

Emma shouted, "You're having a baby?!" Then more gasps spread through the room, you'd think no one had ever been pregnant in Storybrook before.

"Yes, I am." I added, "Our baby girl is due March 29th."

After that, more people came up and congratulated us, then we finally ate dinner! This was the moment I'd waited for all night, I was starving.
