Everything She Wanted

Girls Night Out:

Two weeks passes pleasantly, quietly and in the blink of an eye, Maleficent is suddenly ten weeks pregnant and sporting a small but quite visible baby bump.

And oh, how it suits her.

Regina will never tire of admiring, no, ogling the pregnant Maleficent. The way her eyes sparkles and her faint glow in her cheeks.

And Maleficent herself is relishing in the changes that's happening with her body right now. No doubt she enjoys being pregnant.

Of course she's still pretty tired and needs plenty of rest, something that often leads to very adorable moments with her and the twins curled together on the couch.

And then there's the deal with her- magnified cleavage. Maleficent always had a cleavage, but now it seems to be spilling over. Literally. The dragon definitely needs new shirts. For now she settles with unbuttoning her shirt a bit from time to time, but it's obvious that she's ready for maternity clothes, and Regina has been nagging her about it for a week or so.

It's the middle of the afternoon and Regina is sitting at the kitchen table with a ton of her paperwork spread out in front of her. She finds herself getting more and more prone to working from home these days. She doesn't like being away from her children for too long, and she doesn't like being away from her pregnant wife either.

Said pregnant wife is currently taking a nap with Mia and Emerald, Regina has several pictures as evidence on her phone, and the images are so adorable that she considers setting them as her home screen instead of the picture of Mal, Henry and the twins she currently has.

Maleficent and the little dragons nap time means that the house is very quiet, the perfect opportunity to get some work done.

Or so Regina thought. Just as she's more or less buried in paperwork, there's a knock on the door, or, in fact there's several.

Regina's head snap up. She's a little irritated about the interruption, she was doing such a magnificent job, but oh well. She takes off her reading glasses and pushes the chair back.

The brunette walks into the hall to open the door. Standing on the porch is Emma and Snow with matching grins on their face.

,,Hey," the Savior grins as she without much further ado elbows her way inside the living room.

,,And do come in," Regina says sarcastically.

Snow smiles as she follows her daughter into the living room.

,,And what could possibly bring you two to my doorstep?" Regina inquires as all three of them sits down on the couch.

,,Girls night," Emma says simply.

,,Excuse me?"

,,Girls night," the Savior repeats as Regina is dense. ,,You, me, my mother and Zelena. Night out. The Rabbit Hole."

Regina frowns. She's not sure she will accept that invitation. She prefers quiet night ins with Mal and the children.

,,You are not saying no," Emma warns.

,,Aren't I?"

,,Nope," The Savior says firmly. ,,We've barely seen you for weeks, Regina. You need a night out."

,,I really don't. What I need is a quiet night in front of the television and be in bed by eight," Regina mutters and hides a yawn behind her hand.

,,Nonsense," Snow insists. ,,You need a night out. With your friends."

,,Exactly. We can't have you going all domestic," Emma adds and grins.

,,What's so bad about being domestic?" Regina interjects.

,,Nothing," Snow smiles. ,,But we've barely seen you lately. And Zelena is whining about wanting a girls night out."

,,Oh, we're doing this for Zelena?"

,,I need it too," Emma scoffs. ,,I love being a mother, but honestly, sometimes I need to be something else too. I'm sure you get it."

,,Not really," Regina says truthfully. She really doesn't. She cherishes every moment with her daughters and feels that every hour she isn't with them is wasted.

,,Come on, Regina," Snow almost begs, and Regina is once again taken back to Snow's early teen years where she used to beg Regina all the time.

,,Oh, I don't know," Regina dawdles. ,,It doesn't seem fair to go out and leave Maleficent to deal with the children when she's pregnant."

,,I'm sure she'll manage one night, Regina," Emma says.

But Regina isn't so sure. She balks at the thought of leaving her pregnant wife to go out and party and drink.

,,I don't know," the brunette says finally. ,,The timing is a bit off. I don't feel good with staying out when she's pregnant."

,,Who's pregnant?" Mal's sleepy voice interrupts their discussion.

Regina turns around to see her wife coming down the stairs. Her golden hair is mussed up from sleep, her clothes slightly crumpled but she looks as healthy and alert as ever.

,,So? Who's pregnant?" the dragon repeats as she wanders into the kitchen and retrieves a carton of ice cream from the fridge.

,,Well, I sincerely hope that you are," Regina replies and chuckles.

,,That I am," Maleficent confirms and stuffs her face with ice cream like there's no tomorrow. And for some reason she manages to look ridiculously attractive while doing so.

,,Would it be possible for you to let Regina go for one night?" Emma asks and ignores Regina's look of disapproval.

,,That depends on what you want with her, Savior," Maleficent drawls.

,,Girls night," Snow pipes up. ,,Me, Emma, Zelena and Regina."

,,And did my invitation get lost in the mail or something?" Maleficent asks silkily.

Regina opens her mouth, ready to explain why it's impossible for Maleficent to join them, but the dragon beats her to it and says:

,,I'm only kidding, darling. I know perfectly well that I am prevented from engaging in such a thing right now. Perhaps another time."

,,I can stay home," Regina quickly offers. ,,I don't feel much for going out anyway."

,,Nonsense," Maleficent brushes her off. ,,I can manage things around here for one night. You go out and have fun."

Regina opens her mouth again to protest, but once again is cut off by her wife:

,,And no protests. You are going and that's final."

,,Awesome!" Emma grins. ,,I'm sure Zelena will be delighted."

Regina grumbles quietly.

,,Where are you going exactly?" Mal asks briskly, completely ignoring Regina's protests.

,,The Rabbit Hole." Snow informs her.

,,Oh. Have some Whiskey for me then," the dragon chuckles, and Regina sneers at her.

,,But not too many though," Maleficent muses. ,,Or do. Depends on how delightful you're going to be when you get home."

Regina rolls her eyes. It's amazing that after two plus years, Mal still manages to keep the whiskey joke alive and kicking.

,,Need I remind you that you kissed me first?" she coldly asks her wife.

,,Yes, and you protested ever so much," Maleficent warmly rebuts.

,,Shove off."

,,Now, now, it's rude to argue with a pregnant woman," Maleficent teases and saunters over to the couch and drops a kiss on Regina's hair.

,,I hate you."

,,Yes, of course you do," Maleficent chuckles and gestures to her growing baby bump. ,,That's why you got me pregnant, right?"

,,Who knew pregnancy would make you this cocky?"

,,Oh, I've always been cocky, my love. You just never notice because you are too busy snipping at me."

,,Okay, lovers quarrels aside, girls night tomorrow is definitely a thing, right?" Emma says and interrupts their banter.

,,Right." Regina surrenders.

,,Great!" Snow grins. ,,It's gonna be so much fun!"

As they leave the mansion, Emma turns around and whispers to Regina: ,,She's gonna be asleep after two drinks."

,,I know."

Maleficent chuckles as they once again are alone in the mansion. ,,I'm looking forward to hearing everything about your "girls night out" with Snow White, her daughter and your sister."

,,Shut up and give me some of that ice cream, dragon."

And thus, the following evening finds Regina sitting at the vanity table in the bedroom, putting a finishing touch on her makeup. Of course, she appreciates the invitation for "girls night" but she wouldn't have minded a quiet night in with old movies. She has been pretty busy at work lately, and Amelia and Emerald are turning into little night owls.

Regina puts her makeup away from prying little fingers, just in case, and gives her recently-cut-to-shoulder length- hair a quick combing. Then she stands and casts a look upon herself in the mirror. After considering it for a good while, she finally landed on a short, black rather tight dress. And she's fairly satisfied with her appearance on this particular night. You can't really tell that she's given birth to twins just two years ago.

The brunette sits down on the edge of the bed and puts on her high heels. Her feet will probably punish her for it tomorrow, but what the hell. If it's girls night, she might as well make an effort.

The door to the bedroom creaks open, and the next second Maleficent glides inside and looks Regina up and down, from her tight dress to her high heels.

Regina sniggers quietly as Mal's gaze finally settles upon her legs.

,,That would only delay me," the brunette warns and chuckles.

,,I wasn't saying anything," Maleficent defends.

,,You didn't have to. I know what that look means."

,,It's your own fault for wearing a dress like that," Maleficent says and her eyes roams up and down Regina's bare legs.

,,Is it too much?" Regina questions and spins around once.

Maleficent groans quietly as her eyes looks at the way the dress clings to Regina's body. ,,I'd say this dress is very suitable for a night out, my dear."

,,Good. That settles it. Are you sure you're okay with being here?" Regina asks.

,,Yes of course. Don't worry about me," Maleficent insists. ,,Just go out and have a good time."

Regina sighs a little. ,,I don't like leaving you alone."

,,I'll be fine," Maleficent chuckles. ,,You are just making excuses because you don't want to go."

,,I would prefer staying here with you and the little ones," Regina shrugs.

Maleficent smirks. ,,And now having seen you in that dress, I would prefer having you here."

,,Oh. Well, I'm so happy you approve," Regina drawls.

Maleficent's arms snakes around Regina's waist. ,,And how long did you say you have before you have to be there?"

,,Mmm, about… 5 minutes. So we definitely shouldn't start anything," Regina murmurs and glides her lips over Maleficent's neck.

,,No, that would be so wrong," Maleficent agrees and moves her hands from Regina's waist and up to play with the zipper on her dress instead.

,,This is such a bad idea," Regina mock warns and undoes one button on Maleficent's shirt.

,,Yes, absolutely." Maleficent replies and pushes Regina backwards towards the bed.

,,But still, you can do a lot in five minutes," Regina muses as she ends up on the bed.

,,Oh yes indeed," Maleficent drawls as she elegantly climbs on top of her wife and claims her lips in a kiss.

Once dressed and done up once again (and not to mention very sated), Regina finally leaves the mansion and heads towards the Rabbit Hole.

Emma, Snow and Zelena are already there and waiting for her. And Zelena keeps looking at her watch.

Regina glances at her own watch. Oops. She's twenty minutes late. Oh well. Given how enthusiastic both parts were, she's surprised that she's not still home in bed with her wife.

,,There she is!" Snow says when she spots Regina.

,,At last," Zelena comments when Regina discards of her coat and slides into the booth.

,,Did you think I forgot, dear?" Regina drawls.

,,No, we just assumed you blew us off," Emma says flatly.

,,And why on earth would I do that? We had an agreement, had we not?" Regina replies slyly.

,,Now that you are here, can we please order?" Zelena insists.

,,But of course."

A waiter quickly appears at their table, and Emma, Snow and Zelena promptly orders what they want.

,,Vodka Martini," Regina says before the waiter gets a chance to ask her. She could use a bit alcohol after the surprise "roll in the hay" with her wife.

,,So," Zelena says after their drinks have arrived. ,,How's the wife doing these days?"

,,Oh she's doing fine," Regina replies and takes a sip of her drink. ,,Growing steadily."

Snow smiles. ,,How far along is she now? I keep forgetting."

,,I think it's ten weeks now. Yes ten weeks," Regina says. My, how time flies.

,,Only two weeks till you'll know the gender then," Emma grins. ,,What do you think it's gonna be?"

,,Mal is positive we're having a boy. And she's probably right about that."

,,Have you talked about names yet?" Zelena inquires and takes a swig of her own drink.

,,We only have one name. And that's a secret for now," Regina teases and turns the talk to other subjects.

The four women clinks their glass and chat about everything and nothing. And halfway through their second round of drinks, Regina's phone rings. So Regina fishes her phone out of her purse and checks the caller id. Not very surprisingly, it's Maleficent who is calling her.

,,Good evening," she drawls as she answers.

,,How is girls night working out for you so far, my darling?" Maleficent teases at the other end of the line.

,,Surprisingly pleasant. How is your evening working out?"

,,As pleasant as it can be when you're not around."

,,Getting bored already?" Regina teases.

,,No, my dear. I actually have a reason for calling you."

,,Which is?"

,,Amelia is quite distraught about having lost her bunny."

,,Oh." Regina frowns. ,,Have you checked under the bed? I think I saw it there earlier."

,,In that case I shall check. See you later."

,,Yes, I suspect you will."

,,I love you."

,,Likewise."

They hang up and Regina takes another sip of her drinks.

,,Problems?" Snow asks.

,,No. Just a missing toy. You know what it's like."

,,I sure do. Cheers!"

They clink their glass together again, and Regina takes a deep swig of her drink.

The mansion is completely dark when Regina returns home several hours later. God, what a girls' night out. She definitely had a bit too much. She's not completely wasted, but still fairly drunk.

Zelena really knows how to party, and surprisingly, so does Snow when she's not asleep. There had definitely been a fair amount of dancing.

Regina steps out of her shoes and discards of her coat. Her feet aren't particularly grateful for that dancing now. Her feet will probably be completely sore tomorrow. Her body isn't quite as adaptive to partying as it was years ago. She must be getting old. Too old to stay out late, that's for sure. But it had been a fun night.

Regina downs a large glass of water, just to minimize how much alcohol she has had tonight. If it even can be minimized. Then she tiptoes up the staircase and wanders into the bedroom.

To her surprise, the lights in the bedroom is on, and she finds Maleficent sitting in the bed wearing a light tanktop, and with a book in her lap.

The dragon looks up when Regina comes into the bedroom. ,,How was girls night?"

,,Long and noisy. Why aren't you sleeping?"

,,I can't sleep without you," Mal shrugs and puts the book down on the nightstand.

Regina shakes her head and clicks her tongue. Then she turns around and zips her dress down. She doesn't bother with hanging it into closet, that can very well wait until tomorrow. The brunette unclasps her bra and finds one of her usual nightshirts.

Regina finally, relieved slides into bed next to Mal. A good night's sleep will be wonderful. Her head is spinning slightly and she's a bit dizzy too.

Mal rests a hand on Regina's hip and draws a lazy pattern on her back with her other hand. ,,Was it a good night?"

,,Mhmm, but I think I had a bit much to drink," Regina confesses.

,,Are you drunk?"

,,Just a little."

Maleficent chuckles. ,,Seems like you've had a very fun night, my love."

,,I would have preferred to stay here with you."

,,Even without any alcohol?" Maleficent chuckles.

,,Especially without any alcohol."
