Chapter 11

Pushing her way back through the door leading to the castle corridor, Regina grits her teeth through the pain while cradling her bump. Zelena grabs both her arms to support her, a little concerned as she has never been in this position before and they have only just met. "Rumple?!"

Rumple appears through the doorway curiously at his name being called in a panic then sees the state of the brunette. "Oh..erm.." Rushing back inside the room he gets Ingrid to see to them while he takes care of Scarlett.

Watching with wide eyes, the redhead looks to her sister who is now getting upset. "Is your baby coming now?!"

The Queen takes a deep breath and grips Zelena's hand quickly. "I..I don't know..I haven't.."

Having heard the conversation as she joined them, Ingrid nods while relieving Zelena of one side by taking hold of Regina's arm. " I think it's safe to say you are..and we need to get you to a bed now"

Sniffling, the brunette looks in a panic as she is lead to a room. "Emma! She..she's gone to sort out...I need her here!"

Trying to stay calm for her sake, the blonde looks between the two women as she helps lower the scared looking Queen on a bed. "Okay..listen we will get a message to her.."

Letting go of her sisters hand, Zelena heads for the door. "I'll get Rumple to send one!"

After collecting some blankets, Ingrid takes hold of Regina's hand seeing the vacant scared look upon her face. "You're going to do this and everything will be okay. Trust me"

"But...I don't know what I'm doing..if something goes wrong..and I lose them..I need Emma!" The Queen swallows hard getting teary.

The blonde raises an eyebrow. "Did you just say...them?"

Rubbing her head, Regina merely nods while feeling a contraction before she can answer. "..yes..twins..we only just found out.."

Ingrid looks surprised then clears her throat. "Okay..then let's get these babies out"

The brunette sighs looking at her. "Not without Emma"

Rubbing Regina's arm, the blonde shakes her head. "I'm sorry honey but you are having the babies now whether you want to or not. I know it's scary but you will do just fine, we can do this I promise you. You have me and..and your sister. You know when I had Emma all I had were my sisters and look how she turned out. Come on..take a deep breath and get ready"

Regina lets her lip tremble knowing that she is right but really wants Emma with her. Looking towards the door, she spots Zelena returning and rushes to her side taking hold of her shaking hand. "Emma will be here soon, Rumple sent a message straight away"

Ingrid looks to the redhead as she had entered secretly praying that her daughter does get there soon. "Regina you're going to need to start pushing, if you prevent one getting out, it will put the other in distress and you don't want that do you? Just keep hold of Zelena's hand and push!"

Bracing herself, the brunette squeezes her sisters hand even before she has started to push through worry then pushes as hard as she can. Taking a few deep breaths in between and listening to the words of encouragement from both women, the Queen keeps pushing until she hears a sudden small cry sound out around the room.

Smiling straight away, the blonde checks the baby over then covers her with a blanket. "Baby number one is a girl"

Regina tilts her head up from resting back on the pillow to look over as Ingrid quickly brings the baby forward for her to see before pushing for the next. Giving a teary smile, the brunette carefully leans over and kisses the tiny head that is showing above the blanket, instinctively calming the baby's cry. "Hi baby girl, I will give you a big cuddle in a moment, I need to get your brother first.."

Zelena simply watches in amazement between her sister and baby having never actually seen a baby this close after birth before now.

Pressing forward as fast as she can, Emma pulls against the horses reins as she rounds the corner through the gates of her parents castle. Practically jumping off before the horse has even stopped, she leaves the reins hanging as a guard approaches quickly knowing that she is needed inside urgently.

Running through the door, the princess looks around frantically then is met by her father. "Upstairs! First chamber!"

Heading for the stairs, the young blonde sprints up fast and doesn't even bother knocking as she bursts into the room, forcing her to grab the door to steady herself at the impact. Meeting eyes with the brunette on the bed, Emma looks guilty and quickly makes her way over taking the place next to her where Zelena was stood giving the redhead a frown on the way. "Regina, I am so sorry I should never have gone!"

Shaking her head feeling the tears coming from the relief that her wife is now here, Regina grabs her hand. "You have nothing to be sorry for! You was only doing what I should have been..besides everything is fine, you have another daughter now"

Glancing across the bed at her mother standing there holding a wrapped up blanket the blonde slowly smiles also getting teary. The brunette watches her wife then grips her hand hard while screwing her face up. "You need to take the baby from your mother..."

Emma's eyes widen then realizes the next one is coming and takes her new daughter from her mother but still keeps a firm hold of her wife's hand.

Zelena looks at the three women and backs up to the door quietly not being needed anymore now Emma is there.

"Zelena!"

Looking back towards the bed, the redhead sees Regina looking a little desperate while holding her other hand out as Ingrid would be delivering the last baby. "Don't go.."

Raising an eyebrow, Zelena looks to her sister's wife who looks completely confused then goes and positions herself on the other side, taking hold of the brunette's hand one last time. Regina takes a deep breath then grips both hands that she has been given. "Really awkward timing but Emma..this is my sister..long story..but I will tell you everything after I get this tiny human out of me!"

The princess just nods keeping her focus between her wife and their current new baby. "You can do it beautiful..just think of afterwards when our family is all together"

Taking a sharp intake of breath, the Queen pushes again until the second baby makes an appearance. "I am..never doing that...again"

Chuckling, Emma kisses her head before looking towards the newest set of lungs screaming out. Ingrid again checks then wraps the baby up this time being able to pass him over to their worn out mother on the bed. Sharing a mutual look, Ingrid and Zelena make their way out of the room to give the new mothers some privacy.

Regina glances down at the bundle in her arms and loops a finger through the tiny hand reaching out. "Finally our baby boy..you took longer to show.."

Emma grins peering over and strokes his little cheek. "Stubborn like your mother ay bud?"

Scoffing, the brunette looks over tiredly and pouts. "excuse me princess..who just did all the work? I think I am entitled to be stubborn at this moment in time.."

Nodding, the blonde leans across with a cheeky smile and pecks her lips. "You most certainly did it all, I love you, they are perfect just like you"

Regina chuckles then leans over stroking her daughter's head while she is snuggled in her mama's arms. "I love you too and I am surprised you got here..how?"

"I left Henry to come back with Billy so I could ride faster with the horse and not the carriage"

Dropping her gaze down to the boy in her arms, the brunette looks worried while giving a sigh. "Do you think he will be okay with two?"

Emma rubs her wife's hand reassuringly. "Yes he is excited now to be a big brother again, besides last time I asked he said he wanted a brother.."

Hearing a soft tapping on the door, the blonde raises an eyebrow. "Speaking of, that does sound like our son knocking"

Regina smiles again while making sure she is covered with the blankets. "Come in.."

Watching the door open carefully, the two women look to see a head appear around the door with a cheeky grin. "Mommy, you had baby?"

Biting her lip, the Queen nods. "Yes my prince except..I had two"

Henry's eyes widen then he grins. "Can we come in and see?"

Regina smiles letting out a hidden breath relieved and gestures for them to do so. Henry walks into the room holding Scarlett's hand and then pushes the chair close to the bed before helping the young girl up to see.

Scarlett looks over while leaning against the side of the bed at both babies. "Ooooo"

Both women chuckle while Regina also lets out a yawn. Henry stands by the chair and looks between the babies. "which is my brother?"

The brunette nods down to the baby in her arms. "This is your brother and your mama has your sister"

The boy looks intrigued. "They got names?"

Emma shakes her head. "Not yet bud, why? do you have an idea?"

Henry nods excitedly then points to his brother. "Billy"

Regina looks towards her wife. "I had a feeling he was going to say that but it's not a bad idea.."

"What about your sister Henry?" Emma watches her son curious to what he will say.

"Erm...Grace?"

Raising an eyebrow, the blonde looks surprised at her wife. "The kid's got taste.."

"Hm..Grace and Billy..I like it"

The princess smiles, leaning across to kiss her again while Scarlett makes her way over to her mama to see her sister and Henry strokes his brother's head gently.
