The first year of Elizabeth's life went by far too quickly for her mothers liking. Before they knew it their cuddly baby was crawling and eating solid foods and had become far less attached to her parents. The girl's hair had darkened and was getting curlier by the day. She had a podgy tummy that Emma loved to blow raspberries on, which made the child squeal with delight.
At eight months old her first word was spoken, 'Hen'. She loved her big brother dearly and the feeling was most definitely mutual. Teenage Henry spent a lot of his free time with his friends but he always made time for his little sister. He had the ability to soothe the child without any effort. As she grew she wasn't interested in cuddles much but was always happy for a cuddle with her brother.
Elizabeth took her first steps when she was eleven months old. Regina was making dinner when she heard a frantic Emma calling her from the living room.
She rushed into the room expecting bloodshed or Emma to have irritated their daughter and find her levitating under Beth's control. This had previously happened a couple of times when Emma had stolen her Rabbit and hid it behind her back and when she had ignored Elizabeth's attention demanding whines when the blonde was playing a video game with Henry.
Emma was sat on the floor at one end of the living room while Elizabeth stood next to the sofa at the other. The child had been pulling herself up for a little while but was yet to stand independently or take a step. But here she was stood close to the sofa but stood independently none the less. Regina moved closer to Emma and sat down beside her; she held onto Emma's shoulder and attempted to keep silent through her excitement as to not startle the child who was turning around on wobbly legs. Once she was facing her mothers she smiled at them with a toothy grin that melted both their hearts.
"Come to Mommy Beth." Emma said as calmly as possible as she opened her arms to receive the curly haired child.
Beth smiled at her before her legs wobbled and she fell onto her bottom. The girl crawled over to her Mothers, stopping on her way to collect her soft toy rabbit that she handed to Regina when she got to them.
"Thank you Baby." Regina said happily with a big grin taking the rabbit from the child's small chubby hands. Emma lifted the girl into the air before stealing a quick cuddle; Regina placed a big kiss on the child's head.
"She's so close to walking. Then she's gonna be even more trouble." Emma said proudly.
"True. She will be just as much trouble as you soon enough darling." Regina teased.
"I'm not trouble." Emma mock pouted at her daughter "I'm not trouble am I Bethy? You tell her. Mommy is no trouble Mama"
"Mama" the girl repeated with a satisfied smile.
"Of course not dear." Regina said with a smirk, placing a delicate kiss to Emma's lips.
Elizabeth looked between her mothers with a puzzled expression before holding her arms out to Regina.
"Fine, abandon me." Emma said playfully to the child before passing her over to Regina.
Regina stood with Elizabeth and moved over to the opposite sofa.
"Shall we walk to your mommy baby girl?" Regina asked the child in her arms before placing her on the carpet. She held the child's hands as she supported her in a standing position. The girl held onto Regina's hands for support and took small steps across the room until she reached her blonde mother. Once she got there Regina look her right back to the other side of the room and they repeated the steps over and over and then Regina let go of the child's hand in the hope that she would carry on walking by herself but she dropped onto her bottom and crawled over to her other mother for her reward which was a tickled tummy that made her giggle.
"This time is the one." Regina said as she placed the child next to the sofa and let go of her hands. Immediately the child fell to her bottom and this time she bottom shuffled across the room rather than going onto all fours and crawling. The women laughed together in amusement.
"Maybe she needs a few more days." Regina said as she walked out of the room and back towards the kitchen, leaving Emma and Elizabeth free to have their tickle party.
After dinner the family sat in the living room. Emma and Regina sat together on the sofa while Elizabeth played with her toys in front of them. She crawled over to them a few times to show them her toys and make sure she wasn't missing out on the conversation.
When Henry came home Elizabeth was stood next to her mothers holding onto the sofa while rocking from side to side along with the theme tune playing on the television. When she saw Henry she squealed in excitement and bounced her little body. "Hen hen." She said letting go of the sofa and taking two tentative steps towards her big brother. The gasps from her mothers startled her and once again she landed on her bottom.
"She can walk?" Henry said kneeling down next to his sister. Who crawled over to him as quickly as her tiny body could carry her.
"They were her first steps. She must have been waiting for you." Regina answered, tears welling in her eyes.
Her magic was still a little unpredictable. Numerous times she had teleported members of her family home when she wanted their attention. As she got older and developed better fine motor skills and the ability to crawl it seemed to be happening less. Instead she would crawl to the person or item she wanted. Both parents were hoping that she wouldn't realise her ability to transport herself until she was much older.
The only real problem had been when she had magiced Henry home from school in the middle of an exam. Sometimes having a grandmother as a teacher really did pay off.
Emma and Regina's sex life had gone from exploratory adventurous love making to how quick can I make you come before the baby wakes up. Neither really minded but they were definitely in need of some alone time. Snow had babysat on a couple of occasions, as had Henry, but both parents had been concerned for their daughters wellbeing as well as that of the baby sitter and wanted to get home to her as soon as possible. They never liked leaving her for longer than an hour.
When Emma propositioned her with a night away Regina had been hesitant.
"I don't think leaving her overnight is a good idea." Regina had replied, shocked and scared at the thought.
"We won't go too far. We can stay in Storybrooke and if we need to we can be back here in seconds." Emma encouraged while nibbling at Regina's neck "Just think about it, Me and you. No interruptions. No teenager or baby. I'll even buy new underwear. Please Regina we need this." Emma pleaded, unable to hide the desperation in her voice.
"Ok." Regina agreed reluctantly.
And so a week later Regina reluctantly handed her child over to Snow who beamed. The grandmother was delighted that she was having her granddaughter over night for the first time or more importantly that Regina trusted her with the responsibility.
"She needs rabbit to sleep. Make sure you give her milk at 7.30. If you can't settle her just call and we will be right here."
"Regina seriously you wrote a 5 page set of rules. She will be fine." Emma said in amusement.
"I promise to follow your rules Regina. And Emma's right, she will be perfectly fine. Don't worry." Snow said confidently, attempting to calm the other brunette woman.
Regina looked unconvinced as she lent down to kiss her daughter for the sixth time since they had started to say goodbye.
When they finally made it to the car Regina looked unsettled and was fidgeting with the zip on her jacket.
"Regina we can go back and get her if you're this unsettled leaving her. I don't want you to be unhappy." Emma said as she turned off the ignition and turned to look at the sad looking woman beside her.
"I'm sorry. I do want to have this time alone with you. I just feel guilty leaving her." Regina confessed sadly.
"Forget it, let's go get her." Emma said in defeat, the night away becoming less and less appealing by the minute.
Regina put her hand onto Emma's that rested against the steering wheel. "No. I want this night away with you, just us, no children." Regina confirmed with a smile. She knew she was being overly protective and dramatic about leaving her child overnight but it didn't feel natural to her at all. Then she remembered the times she'd been so close to orgasm and a cry had interrupted. Once when they had tried to finish before attending to the child Elizabeth had magiced Regina to her. That was her least favourite experience with her daughter and she was pretty sure she had been scarred for life. She was just relived that her daughter was young enough that she wouldn't remember.
"You sure?" Emma could see the cogs turning in Regina's brain and she was starting to look calmer, but she didn't what to force her into something that she didn't want to do. As much as she wanted alone time with Regina she wanted Regina to want it to; and for her to not spend the evening worrying.
"I am but maybe if you kiss me I'd be more sure." The older woman answered seductively running her hand up Emma's arm.
Emma didn't need telling twice. She leant over and captured Regina's lips in a hard and forceful kiss, unable to hide her desperation.
The kiss grew deeper and deeper, it was only when Regina tried to pull Emma into her lap and the blonde's knee banged painfully against the gear stick that the kiss was reluctantly broken by both parties.
"How's that?" Emma asked the clearly aroused woman.
"I can't remember what my problem was. All I know is I need you inside me now." Regina responded. Her body was aching to be touched and she needed Emma straightaway.
"Madam Mayor. What sort of lady do you take me for? I need wining and dining first." Emma said playfully.
"Of course dear, Lets go." Regina said fastening her seatbelt with a smile.
Once they checked into the hotel they only made it into the lift before Regina had Emma pinned against the wall, her leg between the blondes as she kissed her like their lives depended on it.
When the lift pinged to notify their arrival to their floor Regina dragged the blonde to their room.
She took a moment to take in their suite. A stunning four poster bed stood in the middle of the room with a sofa and dining area to the side. She peeked into the bathroom to see a huge jacuzzi bath.
She didn't get much chance to explore further as Emma pounced on her and was pushing her against the dressing table she stood in front of. The blonde lifted her effortlessly onto the surface and Regina wrapped her legs around the blonde's hips to pull her closer.
Emma's hands roamed Regina's body desperately wanting to feel every inch of her at the same time.
Regina moaned as Emma sucked and licked at her neck while squeezing her ass harshly.
"I thought you wanted dinner first?" Regina said between moans, her head thrown back in pleasure.
"I've changed my mind. I'd much rather eat you." Emma hummed against Regina's neck as she started to kiss downwards.
And so she did, within seconds Emma was on her hands and knees in front of the older woman devouring her as if she was the most amazing cuisine in the world.
"Fuck Emma I'm close. You need to stop I want us to take our time." Regina instructed with no conviction behind her words as she spread her legs wider and held Emma's head between them.
Emma didn't answer instead she entered Regina's soaking sex with two fingers easily, thrusting them in and out relentlessly while sucking on her swollen clit.
Regina couldn't hold back any longer. She let go and came hard against Emma's mouth and fingers. Emma kept her fingers inside the brunette and continued to lap at her clit softly until the brunette's body stopped shaking.
"I promise you we will take it slow for the rest of the night." Emma's promised as she stood from between Regina's legs. She licked her lips and then wiped the remainder of Regina's essence from her face before placing a kiss on Regina's lips.
True to her word the rest of the evening had been spent exploring each other's bodies as if for the first time. They took it in turns bringing each other to orgasm in all the ways they had imagined over the last nine months. At 3am the women lay spent in each other's arms naked and sweaty, when Emma's stomach made a loud angry rumble.
"I'm hungry."
"Emma it's 3am. You can have a big breakfast in a few hours."
"I don't think I can wait until breakfast." Emma whined holding her belly in a dramatic fashion.
"Well you don't have many options." Regina answered in amusements.
"Room service?"
"If you can't wait then order something but I don't think I can stay awake much longer. You wore me out." Regina said pulling the blondes naked body closer to her own.
Regina did stay awake and at 3.30am the women sat naked in bed eating pizza.
"This is the best date ever." Emma said while stuffing pizzas to her mouth.
Regina just laughed. As shocking as it was she would have to agree.
After very little sleep the women had skipped breakfast in favour of a morning of sex before they returned to their family.
On Elizabeth's first birthday Emma gave a speech thanking everyone for their daughter's presents. Regina had thought it strange but it soon became apparent the reason behind it.
"Lastly I'd like to thank the mother of my children for being the most incredible mother they could ever hope for and the most amazing partner I could ever wish for. The last year has been a huge crazy adventure and there is no one in the world I could want by my side. Every day I wake up and I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. I don't want to ever wake up without you beside me." She took a step closer to Regina now and focused only on the brunette who she stood before. She dropped to one knee pulling a small ring box from her pocked and continued. "So will you be mine forever? Will you be my wife? Will you Regina Mills marry me Emma Swan?"
With tears streaming down her face Regina knelt down in front of Emma and kissed her through tears.
"I love you. Of course I will." Regina answered with a huge smile across her face. With shaky hands Emma placed the ring on Regina's finger before pulling the woman tightly into her arms.
Henry who had been holding onto his sister throughout Emma's speech walked over to join his mothers for a family hug. Soon the Charming clan joined in and the room erupted in cheers.
Later that evening Regina watched her wife to be sleep peacefully. She thanked the lucky stars that she had been blessed with her happy ending. She knew the future with Elizabeth would definitely be an eventful one but she also knew that with Emma by her side they could deal with anything.
So that's it. Thank you so much for the comments throughout the story.
I do plan on doing a sequel to span years 2-18 in Beth's life focusing on how she and her family deal with her magic and the fight between light and dark. I won't start it until later in the year and the updates will be rather slow (at least to begin with).
I have planned out my story for Swan Queen Supernova so I'm going to start on that soon and I'll continue to make gif sets fic thingys on Tumblr (average-sane-psycho).
Thanks again and I hope the ending didn't disappoint.
Also does anyone have any ideas for a summary? My wife wrote the last one but nearly wet herself laughing at how dramatic it was so any help would be greatly appreciated.
