Chapter 20 already! Can you believe it? Thank you for all the positive comments. Here's another chapter, I hope you enjoy it

Belle looked down at the cooing baby in her arms. Mary Margaret was practically attached to Belles's hip, worried about baby Neal.

"Snow its fine, Belle has Neal all taken care of let's go!" David was slowly steering Mary Margaret away from the kitchen and towards the door.

"He's right Snow, I'm great with babies we'll be fine tonight. Now go, have fun with your husband!" Mary Margaret didn't look convinced, but she was slowly moving towards the door with David.

"Belle, you're right I'm sorry. Just make sure you feed him at 7:00 and change him and…." But she never got to finish that sentence; David had grabbed their coats and pushed the stubborn woman out of the door.

A small chuckle escaped the brunette's lips, and she looked down at Neal.

"You look like the Neal I knew. He was a strong, intelligent man that is greatly missed." A tear rolled down Belle's cheek, she quickly wiped it.

"Now what should we do? Oh I know!" Belle quickly went upstairs and found Henry's storybook. Sitting on the bed she turned to the first page, and positioned the baby and the book comfortably in her arms.

"Once Upon A Time….."

Regina, Robin, Roland, and Henry were just sitting down to dinner when Roland heard a knock on the door. Everyone else was in the kitchen, and they must not have heard it. Going to the door, Roland reached up and opened the door (with some trouble of course).

"Roland sweetie where are you, it's time for dinner." Regina's voice rang out through the house. With the click of her heels approaching the foyer, Regina came face to face with no other than Marian. The queens eyes widened, and she looked down to Roland for an answer.

"Gina look who's here, Emma came to talk to you!" Marian wore a sickly sweet smile, a cocky and disgusting accessory on her face.

"How sweet of her, Roland honey why don't you go and sit down to eat with Henry and your father." The brunette's voice came out on edge, and Roland looked up concerned for her. The two women in front of him were in a silent death stare, and it was starting to scare him.

"Gina what's wrong? Are you fainting when you walk into the kitchen again? You know what daddy said the room doesn't have control over you." Roland sounded very grown up for his age; Regina had been teaching him at home since preschool had already started he would have to wait until next year.

Roland walked over to her and held his arms up to her. Regina bent down and scooped up the toddler, finding a comfortable possession resting Roland on her hip.

"No honey I am okay honest, I'll walk you to the kitchen and them come back and talk with Emma yeah?" A nod of the head solidified Regina's plan, and she walked towards the kitchen in her tasteful stilettos.

Ruby had just finished a double shift at the dinner when she finally hung up her apron. Pulling on her jacket and applying a fresh coat of lipstick, she started on her way.

"Not yet young lady, where are you going?" Granny came towards her from behind the counter; the dinner was surprisingly empty for a Friday night.

"Well if you must know, I was thinking about popping over to Regina's with lasagna." Granny's face contorted in shock, she was not expecting that response.

"Why on earth would you be going to Regina's?" Although everyone claimed she had changed, the older woman was still skeptical. Sure she broke the curse and saved the town, but she has done some terrible things, and good things don't cancel out the bad.

"I know you still aren't sure about her, but I am. A few weeks ago I saw her outside the hospital the day she got discharged. She was smiling, a real smile and not some cruel evil one. The Regina before never laughed or smiled sincerely, and she did both outside that hospital."

Ruby was surprised about how strongly she felt about the situation. To be honest she didn't have that many girlfriends, and she loved making new ones.

"Alright, but be careful. She has double crossed us before who knows that she won't turn evil again."

And with that, Ruby grabbed lasagna and headed to the Queens house.

Marian heard the click of her heels before she saw her again. Regina wore stiletto nude heels and a red dress that had a strong contrast with her dark hair. Signature red lips topped off her look, and Marian couldn't lie to herself that the Queen looked stunning.

Regina motioned for Marian to follow her outside, and Marian obeyed. Closing the door behind her, Regina lost all her positive vibes and her face turned cold as a stone. It sent chills down the other girls spine, she had just flipped Regina's bitch switch.

"What are you doing here; in my own home how dare you." Regina hissed at Marian, getting angrier by the second. In an instant Marian punched Regina in the face, sending Regina stumbling back. Another strike to the face sent Regina crashing to the ground.

Marian hovered over her, clearly amused but also confused. Why wasn't Regina fighting back, this wasn't like the queen?

"Regina come on this is a disappointment, why aren't you fighting back? Has your pregnancy really made you this weak, you should still have magic though?" The pieces finally clicked together, and she let out a horrid cackle.

"You can't use your magic can you? HAH! Well I came here to warn you, watch your back because soon you will know what it's like to suffer like I have."

Regina started to get to her feet, but Marian wasn't having that. Another blow sent Regina back down to the ground and seeing stars. Marian lifted her hand to ready another punch, when suddenly she flew off of Regina and smashed into the front door.

Regina still couldn't see anything, her vision was blurry. She saw a great big mass lunge at Marian, and then nothing. All she could hear was a struggle, and finally someone running away.

Regina could feel someone shaking her, and finally her vision focused on Ruby.

"REGINA ARE YOU OKAY" Ruby was practically screaming "CAN YOU HEAR ME?" The Queen blinked several times, and started to get to her feet with Ruby's help.

"I'm fine I'm fine, thank you Ruby. I think I might just be a little scratched up." Blood was dripping from the corner of Regina's mouth, and her cheek was already starting to bruise.

"Why would Emma attack you like that and no offense but why weren't you fighting back?" Ruby was still steadying Regina; the lasagna was long forgotten on the street.

"That wasn't Emma, it was Marian. Some magic was cloaking her true form, but I could see through it. And for the second question, well I can't exactly." Regina's hands naturally settled on her baby bump, and Ruby's eyes widened.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Ruby was screaming once again, jumping up and down form excitement.

"YES I AM! But you can't tell anyone honest!" Ruby nodded a little too excitedly. "Which brings me to MY question, what were you doing here?" A smile was across Regina's face as she asked proving Ruby's theory, Regina had changed.

"Well actually I had Lasagna that I was going to bring you, but I kind of dropped it when I went all wolf. I was hoping that, we could be friends?" Ruby sounded so shy when she asked, that Regina couldn't help but laugh.

Instead of answering the question, Regina swept Ruby up in a hug. Ruby was a little startled at first, but accepted graciously.

"Now", Regina started "How about you come and eat dinner with us?"
