Chapter 11

Eight months later…

Regina was coming out of her bedroom bathroom. Her water broke.

"Daniel! Daniel! Come up here!"

Daniel was in the living room when he heard Regina scream. He rushed up the stairs.

"Regina, what's wrong?"

"My water broke."

Daniel rushed over to Regina and tried to help her.

Regina bowed over in pain. "Aah! I'm having contractions! Call Dr. Whale!"

Daniel called the hospital and spoke to Dr. Whale. Whale told him to time the contractions and go to the hospital when the they were two minutes apart.

Daniel hung up the phone and kneeled in front of Regina. "Dr. Whale said to time the contractions and wait until they are two minutes apart."

"Two minutes! Daniel, I'm dying over here. Take me to the hospital now."

"But Gina-

Regina grabbed his shirt. "Don't you dare Gina me. This is all your fault. Get me to the hospital now."

She released him with such force that he went backwards. Regina had closed her eyes when she released him so she didn't know he was on the floor.

She opened her eyes again. "Daniel, why are you on the floor? Come on, let's go."

Daniel got up from the floor and headed out the room.

He heard Regina's voice. "Daniel…I can't get up. Will you help me?"

He wanted to laugh but thought better of it. He walked over to put his arms around her.

They made their way to the car when Regina stopped in the middle of the walkway.

"We got to tell Henry."

"We'll tell Henry when we get to the hospital."

"But-

"You want me to get you to the hospital or argue?"

"Fine," Regina got in the car.

Daniel parked and rushed into the hospital without Regina.

"Help! My wife's in labor. Someone come quickly," he yelled.

The nurse came out from behind her desk. "Where is she?"

Daniel looked around. "She's…

"Crap, I left her in the car."

Daniel ran to the car to find Regina slowly getting out. "Nice to see you, dear," said Regina.

"I'm sorry. The nurse is coming."

Daniel took his wife inside. The nurse put Regina in a wheelchair and took her to the maternity ward.

Daniel called Emma, Snow, Belle and anybody else he could think of.

An hour later, all of the family was there. They were waiting patiently for Regina to start pushing.

"What's taking so long?" Henry asked.

"Kid, delivering a baby can take a while. She'll be fine," said Emma.

Dr. Whale came into the waiting room. "Daniel, she's getting to pop that baby out. She's fully dilated. You better get in there."

Daniel walked in to see Regina looking scared. "Gina, what's wrong?"

"I'm scared."

"What if I push too hard? Or worse, what if I screw up our baby somehow?"

He kissed her temple. "There's nothing to be scared of. I'm right here."

Dr. Whale walked in. "Let's get this party started. Ready to push?"

Thirty minutes later…

Daniel walked into the waiting room. Everybody stood up awaiting the news.

"It's a girl!"

"Cool. I have a little sister. Can I see my mom now?" asked Henry.

"Sure, she'll be glad to see you," said Daniel.

Snow walked up to Daniel. "Congratulations. You'll make a wonderful father."

Henry came back out and said,"She's so tiny." Everybody laughed.

After being congratulated by everyone else, Daniel made his way back inside.

He smiled at the sight. Regina was holding there beautiful little girl. His heart swelled with pride. "This is what we always wanted and now it's here."

Regina looked up to see Daniel. "Hey, papa. Look at what we did."

Daniel walked over to them and kissed both his girls. "She's beautiful just like her mother."

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Belle and Mr. Gold.

"Hey, may we come in?" asked Belle.

"Sure, meet our daughter," said Regina.

The couple walked over to her. "Hi there sweet girl. I'm your godmother, Belle. And this man right here is your godfather, Rumple."

"When did I agree to be the godfather?"

"When you married me. It goes with the territory," said Belle.

Gold rolled his eyes. "Congratulations, you two. What's her name?"

"Her name is Sarah Emily Richards," Daniel said.

"That's a beautiful name," said Belle. "May I hold her?" she asked Regina.

Regina handed Sarah to Belle as the men walked out of the room.

"She looks like you Regina," said Belle.

"Guess what Sarah, soon you're going to have a new friend to play with."

Regina lifted her head up. "Belle, you're pregnant? For real this time."

Belle laughed. "I'm three months and before you ask I confirmed it."

"Congratulations. Now, Gold gets to throw you another baby shower."

"Perhaps. He's still recovering from the last one."

Regina chuckled. The nurse walked in. "It's time for the baby to be fed."

Belle handed Sarah back to Regina. "See you later, Regina. Goodbye Sarah."

Belle left the room.

Daniel walked in a few minutes afterwards and watched Regina feed Sarah. He had never seen anything so beautiful.

Daniel sat on the bed. "I didn't think I could love someone so much so fast."

"Me neither. I loved Henry since the moment he was placed in my arms and now I get to feel that again," said Regina.

"Thank you," said Daniel.

Regina looked at him.

"Thank you for giving me this little miracle."

"Thank you for giving us this life. This is our dream. Our happy ending," said Regina.

"We'll be prepared for the next one though," he replied.

"The next one? I just popped one out and you want to make another one," Regina whispered.

"Obviously, not this very second. When the time comes, we'll be better prepared. Oh, and tell me right away next time."

"I promise," said Regina. "Daniel, will you take her?"

Daniel took Sarah and sat in the chair. He glanced at Regina and she was out like a light.

Daniel looked at Sarah. She was the splitting image of Regina. "You wore mommy out but that's okay. We love you so much. I promise I'll be there to protect you, Henry and mommy for the rest of my life. I love you, my sweet angel."

"Regina's right. This is our happy ending."
