Henry was away on an overnight camping trip with his grandfather and Emma and Regina planned on making the most of their childfree time while they still could.

Regina struggled to get her keys into the door as Emma had her body pressed up against her and was pushing her against the door from behind. "Emma, stop it. We are outside, people can see." Regina said moving her head to the side to give Emma's lips better access.

"Let them." Emma purred before attaching her lips to Regina's neck and kissing her way up from her shoulder to below her ear while pulling the brunettes jacket down her arms and tossing the designer item onto the porch. "Emma!" Regina warned catching the $300 jacket before it hit the ground. It was soon forgotten when she felt Emma's hand creep around to her chest and begin unbuttoning the white shift from top to bottom.

Emma managed to get four buttons open before Regina took hold of her hand and stopped the blonde's progress. Her breasts were on display, one of Emma's hands running over white lace bra that was uncovered from the shirt. "Emma you need to stop. Let me open the door. You can continue when we get inside."

"You're so fucking hot; I just want my hands and mouth all over you." Emma said running her hands over Regina's exposed breast one final time.

Regina had turned around in Emma's arms and was pinned against the door once again Emma's lips crashing into hers the moment she was facing the blonde, Regina was kissing back with equal enthusiasm her hands reaching for Emma's ass.

The next few second where a complete blur, the door that Regina and Emma's body was resting against somehow opened and a loud echo of 'surprise' could be heard from behind Snow White who was stood at the door, her mouth open wide as she saw Regina's shirt was open and her hands where on her daughter ass.

Regina quickly let go of Emma and pulled the door closed in a panic, she buttoned up her shirt and put on her jacked before taking a few deep breaths. She was distracted by the sound of Emma laughing. "This isn't funny. I just flashed your mother and half of Storybrooke who are somehow in our living room."

"It was hilarious, my mother's face and your face." Emma said through big belly laughs and streams of tears that ran down her face. When her eyes met Regina's she was met with an angry looking frown. "I'm sorry, I know it's a little embarrassing but you have to admit it is funny."

"What exactly is funny?" she lowered her voice to ensure no one inside would be able to hear her. "All those people seeing me turned on and with my breasts on display?"

"I'm sorry. We can leave if you like?"

"We can't leave, this is obviously a surprise baby shower thrown by your mother and as she somehow managed to get into our home I imagine Henry had something to do with this surprise. He would be devastated if we just disappeared."

"Ok bad idea. How about we go in and act like nothing happened."

"I don't think there is any other option." Regina took a final deep breath before turning the door knob.

Everyone was pottering around and no one seemed to be looking in Emma or Regina's direction as they walked into their home.

"I'm sorry that I surprised you like that." Snow said unable to make eye contact with either her daughter or the Mayor.

"I'm sorry that you had to see that." Regina said unable to make eye contact with her girlfriend's mother.

"I was finally getting over the office incident." Snow said awkwardly.

"Ok let's pretend none of this every happened." Emma cut in. "I'm sorry that you had to be privy to that part of our relationship, but you should probably be aware that both times it was me initiating things not Regina. So it's my fault you had to witness 'things' both times."

"Emma please, stop talking." Regina instructed scared of what the blonde would reveal about their sex life.

"I just don't want my mon to think you are only interested in me for sex."

"I don't think that and please do what Regina said and stop talking. I really don't want to know any more about my daughters sex life."

After the awkward exchange with Snow, Emma and Regina mingled with the guests. Emma was happy to see that Ruby and Dorothy had made a trip back from Oz. Belle with her new baby sat at the end of one sofa talking to Mulan who was playing with the baby. Merida was even there. Emma was amused she didn't think a baby shower would be the redhead's things. There were lots of other Storybrooke residents that Emma barely knew, she said hello to them in the street but she didn't really know their names.

After an hour of socialising Snow announced it was time for food. The buffet was made by Granny and Emma was ecstatic when she saw that there were some bear claws on offer. After they ate Emma and Regina sat together on the sofa with baby Neal resting tiredly against Regina's chest, his small hand resting against her shoulder, while he looked over at Emma attempting to keep his eyes open.

"He really loves you." Emma said with a big smile her hand resting on her brother back, while looking up at Regina.

"I love him too." Regina said with a smile placing a kiss onto the boys head.

"I can't believe we will have a baby soon, a real life baby." Emma said in disbelief.

"It's crazy but I can't wait." Regina said while holding the boys tiny hand between her fingers.

"I'm scared but with you by my side I know everything will be ok."

"I promise you I will do everything I can to make everything ok."

"You're such a good Mom."

"And so are you."

Snow watched the two from afar; she felt a wave of happiness wash over her. She was happy that the two women had found one another. She regretted that she had not been supportive at the beginning of their relationship because as she watched them together with her son. She couldn't have wished for a better match for her daughter or her friend. They were truly perfect for one another. She watched them interact with each other and the baby for a while longer before she offered them both a big smile as she approached. She took the baby carefully from Regina's arms and placed him in his pram to sleep while the baby shower continued.

"Ok ladies" Snow said as she stood in front of the room full of women. "It's time for games."

Regina and Emma looked at each other with wide eyes that were followed by big smiles.

The first game involved each of the attendees cutting a piece of string that Regina had the job of wrapping around Emma's stomach. The winner was the person who cut the piece that was the closest size of Emma's bump. Merida won the competition and earned herself a baby's bottle filled with M&M's.

The next game involved smelling nappies smeared in flavoured melted chocolate and identifying the flavour. Emma sat back with a disgusted then amused look on her face as Regina had her face in the dirty diaper; Regina had been revolted by the game but had joined in with enthusiasm and dedication. She had been the undeniably winner to Emma's amusement.

There was also a 'onesie decorating station' and throughout the day the guests had been designing ready to be judged. Ruby and Dorothy had made a joint entry where they had written on it 'I love my' then a drawing of two ants. Regina had to explain it to Emma and then she'd cried. Regina wasn't sure if it was because of the sentimental reasons or that she hadn't understood the two ants' reference.

Snow had drawn a picture of a baby penguin and written I love my mommies on the onesie both Emma and Regina had cried when they saw it and Snow had been crowned the winner of the onesie competition much to her delight.

The afternoon had been enjoyable for everyone. They had been showered with gifts from all their friends and family. They had gotten a blanket just like Emma's baby blanket from Snow and she had promised to sew the babies name in once she had one. She had also given them babysitting coupons that Emma and Regina had promised to use when the baby was big enough to be left. Emma had thought that to be a few months old while Regina had thought a few years old.

After the party Snow stayed behind to help Regina clean up while Emma and Neal lay on the sofa together watching cartoons.

"Thank you for today Snow." Regina said genuinely with a heartfelt smile as she put dishes away in the kitchen cupboards.

"I'm sorry that we caught you a little of guard." Snow replied sheepishly.

"Please don't apologise for that. That was careless and shouldn't have happened."

"It's ok. I understand what pregnancy hormones can do to you."

Regina looked a little disgustedly at the woman before quickly changing the conversation. "Anyway thank you again for today. It was lovely. "

"You know Regina I always wanted us to be a family…"

"Snow." Regina interrupted.

"No please listen to me. When I was little I thought you could be my mother but then that didn't work out. Even when you… well even then it wasn't like that, you felt like my big sister, but again that didn't work out. I would never in a million years imagine that your place in my life would be as my daughter's partner, the mother to my grandchildren, but I'm happy that you are. I think this is who you were meant to be, who we were meant to be to one another."

Regina stopped her task immediately and wrapped her arms around the other woman, tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you, thank you for saying that. It means more to me than you will ever know. You're my family and I love you." Regina said against Snow's shoulder. Snow had returned the hug with equal enthusiasm.

When they finished cleaning and putting everything away they walked back into the living room to see Emma asleep on her side with Neal s little legs straddling the bottom of her bump and his little head resting at the top.

Snow and Regina stood and watched the pair sleep peacefully for a few moments. Regina took her phone out and took a picture of the sleeping siblings. "They are adorable." Regina said with a huge smile.

"They are." Snow said with a huge grin. "I should get him home to bed." Snow approached the sleeping pair slowly. "And you should probably do the same for my daughter."

Regina got the boy's stroller ready while Snow extracted him from Emma who had a protective arm wrapped around him. She tightened her grip as Snow tried to take him. "Emma it's me, let him go, he needs to go to bed and so do you sweetheart."

Emma opened her eyes reluctantly making sure it was actually Snow and not some imposter before freeing the sleeping boy.

Once Snow and Neal had left Regina returned to a sleepy Emma, she led the woman to bed before she helped her out of her clothes and lay her down gently on her side. Regina completed her nightly routine by removing her makeup, washing her face and moisturising before putting on a silk nightgown and crawling into the bed, moving to attach her body to Emma's back. She placed a kiss to the blondes shoulder before moving her pillow over to overlap with Emma's and wrapping her arm around the bump, placing her hand protectively on it. "Sweet dreams" she whispered to both Emma and her bump.

I need help with a name for the baby I'm really struggling. If use one of our baby names my wife may murder me so I need someone else to choose, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Also I haven't forgotten about the baby's potential to be dark, some fears and thought about that will be addressed in the next chapter.
