Regina was pacing in her study. At Emma's request, she had looked for the young child's birth parents. After a few days of searching she had finally found the answer and it was an understatement to say she wasn't pleased.
"How dare they?" She growled. "It's their fault that my baby girl is scarred and traumatized."
She was furious, because she knew them and they were idiots for giving up such an adorable child and making her go through what she went through.
"I'm going to give them a piece of my mind," she decided. She thought about it for a second. "No, I'm not going to give them the opportunity of meeting my daughter! They should have thought before they gave her up."
Her daughter entered her study. "Mommy, do you want to watch a movie with me?" Regina stopped pacing and calmed down a little at the sight of her little girl.
"Sure," She said. She was getting a headache thinking about Emma's birth parents putting her through horrible foster families.
"What are we watching, darling?" Regina asked as she settled on the couch, waiting for her daughter to pick a movie.
"Can we watch Bambi?" Emma asked showing Regina the movie box.
"Okay," Regina smiled at Emma's thrilled face. "Do you want me to make some popcorn?" The little blonde's eyes lit up as she nodded furiously.
Regina chuckled at Emma's love for food. She went to the kitchen to make the sugary treat that her daughter loved so much.
"Mommy, did you find out who my birth parents are?" Emma asked, following her mother into the kitchen.
Regina sighed. She really didn't want her daughter to find out, who they were.
"Yes, I did, Emma, but they're not good people. I don't want you to meet them." Emma nodded understandingly.
"Do you know why they didn't want me?" The little blonde asked sadly.
"I don't know, Emma. I'm sorry. Either way, they're idiots, because you are the most beautiful, loving and amazing little girl I know and I love you very, very much."
Emma hugged her tightly. "I love you even more, Mommy."
Regina smiled and kissed the top of the child's head. "That's not possible, baby."
Emma pouted. "Yes, it is." The popcorn was ready and Regina placed it into a bowl, before following her daughter back to the living room, where they were going to watch Bambi.
After the movie and reading Emma her bedtime story, Regina went back to her study.
She took the paper on which was written the names of Emma's birth parents and read the names once more.
Emma Swan, daughter of Mary Margaret Blanchard and David Nolan, was born on 11th December 2011.
Regina rolled her eyes. "She's my daughter and my daughter only," Regina said, ripping up the paper, so nobody would ever be able to read it.
Emma never asked about her birth parents again, the only parent she cared about was her mother, Regina.
