Prompt from ReginaRobin and Guest: Regina and Robin throw a party and invite everyone over/Regina and Robin's daughter does magic at a young age
I combined these two because they went together. Enjoy!
"Speaking of which, where is Neal?" Snow looked around the room for her son.
It was the big day! Cordelia was turning one and her parents invited all their close family. Even Rumple and Belle were in attendance. Regina spent hours making the party perfect for her princess. Earlier that morning, before everyone arrived, he smiled while watching her run around the house. She was such a perfectionist. Caught in her own world, she did not notice him come up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist. "Relax darling. Everything will be fine." Robin placed a kiss into her dark locks to calm the nerves buzzing around her head.
The couple now sat in the living room surrounded by their family and friends. Snow had Cordelia on her lap, opposite the Queen and Thief, just chatting away with the one year old. Emma and Hook were rather involved with one another in a corner of the room. They came to the party, and Regina was happy for it, but there were more appropriate places to be nauseously in love. Robin squeezed her shoulder. He was reminder her of how they used to be. Getting caught like teenagers by Henry. Emma was allowed her moments.
Snow looked up to see her step-mother gazing at Robin. She smiled brightly. It was so nice to see her happy. "Has Delia started walking yet?" She used the nickname they commonly did for the infant.
"Not yet and I'm very thankful. Crawling is enough of a challenge to keep her rained in. I don't know how you keep track of Neal." Regina shook her head. When her daughter did decide that she wanted to walk the entire house would have to be baby-proofed. She could already hear Robin's disgruntled comments as he insisted that not every corner needed a buffer.
Charming looked around for a moment for his son. The two-year old was just there a moment ago playing with some toys on the floor.
"Speaking of which, where is Neal?" Snow looked around the room for her son.
The adults began to look around the room when a piercing scream let out from the kitchen followed by sobbing. Regina grabbed Cordelia, while Snow and Charming rushed into the room where their son was screaming. The adults entered the room to seen Neal on the floor, blood on his hand and the knife to cut the cake on the floor. "Oh my god! Neal!" Snow gathered her son into her arms and examined the wound. "David we have to get him to the hospital." The cut was rather deep and would need some stitches.
Regina came in with the rest of the family following her. "Snow I am so sorry. I must have forgotten to put the knife up." There were a few tears in her eyes. She could not believe that she had been that stupid. As Snow walked by her step-mother and step-sister, Cordelia's hand brushed against Neal and a white light shown at her touch. Both women paused shocked at what was going on between their children. When the light receded Neal's hand was healed and Cordelia had a huge grin on her face.
Rumple smirked. "Looks like we have another magic user in the family." He leaned against his cane in the open foyer. Belle nudged his side. Clearly Regina was not pleased about this and he was not helping.
No one broke the silence that then fell over the group. Finally after a few moments, Regina handed her daughter to Robin and bolted up the stairs. When she reached her bedroom the panic set in and she started hyperventilating. This was not supposed to happen. Cordelia was supposed to stay on Robin's side of the genetics when it came to magic. She was not supposed to have it. When the Queen heard the door open she was not surprised to see her thief, now childless.
"It's alright Regina. She did something wonderful." Robin approached carefully knowing how afraid of this she was. They had discussed what magic did to her. What she had lost because if it. However, he also knew how much she had gained because of it. "You will not do anything to hurt Cordelia. You are not your mother." He went over to his wife and put his arms around her squeezing slightly.
Even though the thought had crossed Regina's mind when her daughter was born, that was not the entire problem at the moment. "That's not what I am afraid of." The Queen slunk to her bed and seated herself. Her breathing was beginning to return to normal and now the tears were coming. "I'm afraid it will destroy her like it did me. I became the Evil Queen because I had magic."
Robin shook his head and sat next to the terrified woman. "That won't happen either. Do you remember how freaked out Snow was when Neal started using magic?" He chuckled at the memory of the princess coming to their house in the middle of the night crying. Her son had wanted his bottle and got it by using magic. "But Neal and Cordelia have something that you did not. They have a good, non-vengeful teacher." A small smile was on his lips. It had been decided that when Neal, and now he assumed Cordelia, was of age, Regina would begin teaching the proper way to use magic. It would be a different training than she had given Emma because of the age of her pupils. Their magic would develop with them. There were also no immediate threats either, which greatly helped. "Everything will be alright with Cordelia. I promise." Robin placed his had on her back and began to rub small circles on it.
Regina leaned into his shoulder. She needed his comfort and reassurances. "I'm so scared."
Three words that he knew were almost impossible for her to say. "I know, but Cordelia is surrounded by family that will make sure she uses it the way it is meant to be used." He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her onto his lap. "Look at what she did for her first time. She healed." The thief placed a kiss on top of her head. He could feel her relax and knew that he had gotten through to his Queen. "Now m'lady. I believe we have a party to get back to." He picked her up, making her laugh, and placed her on her feet.
"Yea, I probably scared Delia. Let's go." She exited the room with a small smile on her face. Teaching the kids magic would be a challenge for her, but she could do it. She was the Queen after all. As she came back down the stairs she saw the family that Robin had talked about. They would make sure that not only Delia stayed where she was supposed to, but she would as well. It would in fact be alright.
Again I am so sorry for the long wait. I will try to post again soon.
