June 3, 2016
It had been a week since Hadley moved in and slowly Emma and Regina adjusted to everyday life of a toddler. Getting up in the mornings and feeding her and making sure she is taken care of. Emma was getting the hang of being a mother and was beginning to enjoy it. She was also getting Hadley to talk a lot more which made her feel proud of her daughter.
"Momma," Hadley said looking to Emma as she held her sippy cup in the air.
"Hadley baby, I'll get you juice in a second, I promise," Emma smiled over to her daughter who was sitting in the high chair by the kitchen table.
"Bu-, momma," her lip quivered and Emma knew what that meant. The kid was about to explode like a grenade without a pen. Luckily for her Regina came in for the save.
"Shh its okay Hadley, I'll get it baby," she smiled taking the cup from the small blonde and moving to the fridge where her girlfriend was.
"I love you," Emma smiled pathetically in amazement.
"I love you too, Swan," Regina said filling the sippy cup halfway and putting the top back on it and walking back over to Hadley. "Here, baby."
"Thank you, mommy," Hadley said instinctively in the smallest voice possible making Regina freeze and turn to her girlfriend who was already staring back.
"Did she just-," Emma said and Regina nodded back quickly, "I can tell her if you want to, you don't-."
"It's okay," Regina smiled, "I liked it."
"Are you sure?" Emma questioned moving closer to her girlfriend, "you don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable."
"It's like your mother said Emma," Regina said staring into green eyes, "she will say it before I'm ever comfortable with but I will always be here for her and to protect her and I want to be her mother if you will let me."
"I do," Emma smiled, "I'd rather it be you than Lily."
"I would rather it be me too after what I've heard about her," she smiled, "I love you, Swan."
"I love you too, my queen."
"Good morning, girls," Mary said entering the kitchen.
"Morning mom," Emma smiled as she walked over to Hadley's high chair and put some cheerios in front of her.
"Oh Emma, your father had to go into work but he needed to talk to you about the festival tomorrow in New York," Mary said fixing a cup of coffee.
"Oh god I completely forgot about that," Emma said slumping down in her chair and looking up to the ceiling.
"What are you going to do?" Regina said as she walked and sat next to her girlfriend at the table.
"I don't know I have Hadley and you and I are going to be in New York," Emma paused thinking as she put a hand through her blonde curls, "we could always take her with us."
"There will be plenty of space in the hotel," Regina said looking over to the young blonde, "and she shouldn't leave you she would be devastated."
"Then it is settled, she is coming with us," Emma smiled kissing her daughter's cheek causing the young blonde to giggle.
"Oh baby, what time is it?" Regina asked trying to look at the clock on the opposite wall.
"It's ten, we should probably get going," Emma said standing and cleaning up the mess Hadley had made and then taking the young blonde from her high chair.
"That's right, you two have a doctor's appointment for the twins," Mary said happily as she clapped her hands together.
"Yeah and we need to get going," Emma said putting a little bit more juice in her daughter's cup for the road, "did you put her car seat back in the jeep?" Emma asked before her mother nodded back and soon they were leaving the large house.
"Mommy?" Hadley called from the back seat and Regina turned to look at her girlfriend.
"She isn't talking to me I'm 'momma'," the blonde laughed causing Regina to roll her eyes.
"Yes, baby?" Regina called back to the young blonde who was in the back seat.
"Mommy?" she called again.
"Hadley baby, what is it?" Regina said turning to look at the car seat.
"I'm hungry," she giggled with her hand son her mouth.
"She really is your child," Regina rolled her eyes and looked at Emma who was laughing.
"Baby, can you wait ten more minutes," Emma said looking into the rearview at her daughter.
"But momma," Hadley said looking up into the mirror to see her mother's eyes.
"Hadley just ten more," Emma said sternly.
"Mommy?" a muttered cry came from the back seat.
"Sorry baby," Regina said making a pouted face towards the young blonde. About ten minutes later they had finally made it to the doctor's office and Hadley was able to get her cheerios that her mother had packed for her that morning as they waited for Regina's name to be called.
"I can't believe I'm only twelve weeks," Regina sighed leaning back.
"I know but it also feels like just yesterday that we found out you were pregnant," Emma said with the young blonde in her lap who was currently eating cereal from a baggie.
"Tell me about it," Regina rolled her eyes, "but at least we have a while so we can get everything and have time to get used to this little girl," Regina said making a funny face at the green eyed girl who made one back at her.
"Regina!" a nurse called from the door watching the blonde stand with the little girl in her arms and Regina walk towards her and into the small room. Regina waited on the table while Emma and Hadley sat in a nearby chair and waited for the doctor.
"Momma why we here?" Hadley asked looking up at her mother.
"Well, mommy has your brother and sister inside of her belly and we have to know how they are doing and make sure they are healthy," Emma said quietly hoping the little girl would understand.
"Mommy has them inside her belly?" she asked wide eyed and Emma nodded, "they need out." She said sternly causing Emma to laugh.
"That's not how it works baby," Emma laughed, "See mommy has to grow them and help them grow big and strong until they can survive on their own and then they can come out."
"How long?" Hadley simply asked looking over to the brunette who was sitting on the table looking at them.
"It will be a while, baby," Regina laughed as the doctor walked in and began the ultrasound.
"How are feeling Regina?" the doctor asked as he moved the ultrasound wand across her stomach.
"Fine lately, the nausea hasn't been as bad lately," she said looking at the screen.
"Well that's good," he said before he found the twins on the screen, "alright so this one here is your girl," he pointed at the baby who was on the left half of the screen, "and here is your boy," he pointed to the right side.
"They're getting bigger," Emma said picking up Hadley and standing by her girlfriend.
"Yes, right now they are around two inches but not quite there yet," the doctor said printing out photos, "and twins tend to develop slower than a normal pregnancy with one child."
"And their healthy?" Regina asked looking at the picture the doctor had handed to her.
"Yes, their heart rates seem strong and they seem to be growing at a normal rate," he said smiling and finishing up the chart, "congratulations you two, Regina I'll see you back in about four weeks."
"Thank you, doctor," Regina smiled as the man left the room.
"Babies?" Hadley simply asked looking down at the pictures in her mother's hand.
"Yeah baby," Regina said handing her one of the pictures, "this one is your sister Rayna," she pointed to the small figure on the left, "and this one here is your brother Emmett." She pointed to the right of the picture.
"Yeah and soon they will be here and you'll be a big sister and get to boss them around," Emma laughed and got a glare from Regina. "Okay maybe not that but eventually you will be able to play with them and share your toys."
"My toys," the little blonde pointed to herself and looked at her blonde mother who nodded, "no, my toys."
"We'll talk about it," Emma laughed earning a glare from her daughter, "oh geez."
"What is it, darling?" Regina asked as they walked out of the doctor's office.
"She's been with us a week and has already perfected the 'Regina stare'," Emma laughed looking to her girlfriend.
"Then she is learning how to keep you in check," Regina said proudly as she buckled her seatbelt and watched Emma buckle in Hadley before jumping into the driver's seat.
"I'll keep you in check," Emma laughed leaning in and capturing her queen's lips for a passionate kiss.
"As long as I can do the same for you," Regina laughed grabbing the blonde's hand, "love you."
"Love you too, babe," Emma winked and started driving in the direction of the mansion.
