Regina stood outside of the door hesitating on whether or not to actually go through with this idea. She had to find out if Zelena was in anyway involved with Rumple's plan. Regina finally knocked on the door to Zelena's apartment and Zelena answered a few moments later, "Oh sis, what a pleasant surprise!"
"Cut the crap Zelena," said Regina curtly barging into Zelena's place.
"Oh well aren't we a little cranky today," commented Zelena. Regina raised her eyebrows at Zelena in a look who's talking sort of manner, "Anyways, what brings you by today?"
Regina sat down at the table and watched her six month old niece bang her spoon on the table of the high chair, "Zelena, I wanted to tell you something and ask you a few questions. And I need to answer me honestly. Not only will it protect this baby, but it will protect Robin too," she said helping Robin grasp her spoon correctly.
Zelena sat down across from Regina and handed Robin a teething ring, "There you go sweet pea," she cooed, "Teething, seriously, she chews everything she can get her hands on."
For once around Zelena, Regina chuckled lightly, "Yeah, once they start teething everything they get goes straight to their mouths. Now Zelena, like I said, please be honest with me," she begged, "How much do you know about Rumple's plan."
Zelena took a deep breath, "He wants me to hand him the crystal so he can wake Belle."
Regina nodded, "Okay, and did you give it to him?"
"No of course not, even I'm not that crazy," said Zelena.
"Zelena, you tried to run off with the king of Hell!" Regina scolded and felt a spasm in her abdomen, hissing and rubbing her abdomen when the pain hit her.
"Oh Regina calm down. Clearly it's not good for my niece or nephew when you get all angry," said Zelena in a cutesy voice. Regina sighed and rubbed her hand across her face, already feeling a headache forming, "Look sis," said Zelena and Regina looked up into Zelena's blue eyes, "I realize you have absolutely no reason to trust me. But please at least hear me out, one mother to another. I know we've had our differences, I know I betrayed you in the worst ways possible. But I'm not working with Rumple. He not only wants your baby, but he wants my baby too." Regina swore she saw a few tears run down Zelena's cheeks, "So, I guess what I'm saying is, you don't have to forgive, you don't have to trust me, but we have to work together to stop Gold, for my baby and your baby." Regina sighed and bit her lower lip. Zelena had really hurt her when she disguised herself as Marian, first making her think she had lost Robin and then having to watch her sister carry Robin's child was even more painful. Tears started to run down Regina's cheeks, as she was missing Robin more than ever at that moment. At last, the pain of losing Robin, the pain of her visions, Henry's and Roland's pain all came flooding out, "Sis, did I say something wrong?"
"No, no," Regina shook her head and wiped away the tears, "You're right. Even if you caused me pain and heartbreak, we need to protect both of our babies from Gold, from whomever or whatever evil force comes our way, no matter how we feel about each other."
Emma and David walked onto Gold's pawn shop though he was nowhere in sight, so they figured he was in the back, "Gold!" shouted David, "We know you're back there!"
Gold emerged from the back of the store, "Mr. Nolan, Ms. Swan, what a pleasant surprise…"
"Cut the crap Gold, we know your plan to wake Belle," said Emma, trying to be intimidating, though there was a slight crack in her voice.
"Well, all Regina and Zelena have to do is hand over the Olympian crystal and their babies are perfectly safe," said Gold, "Besides I can't do anything until her Majesty's little one makes its appearance because one baby won't have enough magic to wake Belle."
"How do we know you're not bluffing?" asked David giving Gold a suspicious look.
"Because just like the sisters, I just want what's best for my child," whispered Gold, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to currently." Gold disappeared into the back of the shop.
"Do you believe him Dad?" asked Emma.
"Not for a second," said David.
Emma quickly turned to her father and said, "Dad, I just thought of something. Belle put herself under a sleeping curse because she didn't want Gold speeding up her pregnancy."
"Right," nodded David.
"And I sped up Zelena's pregnancy when I was the Dark One," said Emma.
"So, what are you saying?" asked David nervously. He knew where his daughter was going with this conversation, but he needed to hear it for himself.
"What if he's planning on doing the same thing to Regina? What if he will somehow speed up her pregnancy?" asked Emma.
David took Emma by the arm and led her outside so Gold couldn't hear them, "Emma, we already have the issue of protecting Regina's baby…"
"Operation Kiddo," Emma interrupted.
David nodded, clearly knowing his grandson was involved, "Yes, Operation Kiddo, and we have the mission to find a way to bring back Robin."
Emma looked towards the pawn shop, thinking about the sleeping woman inside it, "And now we also have to find a way to wake Belle. We don't have one baby to protect, we have three to protect."
