New Beginnings 2

Chapter 7 Day 3 Epcot

-Storybrooke 3 am-

Katherine woke up, got out of bed, and walked to Henry's room. She opened the door, and his snore filled the room lightly. She walked over to his bed and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Bubby…"

Henry opened his eyes and noticed his little sister, "Kat, what are you doing up? Did you have a bad dream?"

Katherine got into bed with her brother and covered up, "No, it was about Ma and Mommy."

"So, it was a good dream about Ma and Mommy?"

Katherine nodded and smiled, "They will be bwinging us home a supwise!"

Henry smiled, "Really? Did you see the surprise?"

Katherine shook her head then Henry took her into an embrace, "It's alright, sis. Whatever it is, I'm sure we will love it. Now, let's get some sleep."

"Bubby?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell me the story of the Queen and her Savior."

Henry chuckled, "Alright, now, Once upon a time…"

Ring! Ring!

Emma opened her eyes to the phone ringing. She reached over and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

A recording came on, and it was Mickey, "Up and Adam pal! Oh boy, are we glad you're here! Hope you have a wonderful day. See ya real soon!"

The recording played again, and she put it to Regina's ear. Regina stirred and placed a hand on the phone listening and a smile formed on her face. When the recording finished, she leaned over Emma and hung up the phone. Emma pulled her on top of her and Regina giggled.

Emma smiled, "Good morning."

Regina ran her fingers through her wife's hair, "Good morning."

"Guess what?" Emma grabbed her wife around the waist and flipped them over gently to where Regina was lying on her back.

Regina smiled, "What?"

Emma leaned over and whispered in her wife's ear, "We conceived last night."

Regina sighed, "Yes, we did; twice."

Emma adjusted herself to where she was level with her wife's stomach.

Regina started laughing, "Babe, what are you doing?"

Emma kissed Regina's stomach, "Hi there, it's Ma."

Regina laughed then after composing herself; she said, "You do know we only just conceived last night and…"

Emma kissed her wife's stomach again then crawled back up to where they were looking into each other's eyes, "Remember what Katherine told us? Her magic existed at the moment of conception, so her magic gave her the memory of me singing to you both. So their magic exists now! It will give them the memory of Ma telling them hi and giving them their first kiss."

"Yes, I remember. Oh, Emma…two!" Regina cupped her wife's cheek then Emma smiled, "Two…twins!"

Regina exhaled, "Twins…a two-year-old…and a soon to be sixteen year old. How in the world are we going to manage this?"

Emma gave her wife a gentle kiss then said, "One day at a time. We got this. I believe in us."

Emma got up and went to the bathroom. Regina sat up and realized something.

Her eyes widened, "Emma, we are going to be riding rides today. I don't want to put them in any danger. Maybe, we shouldn't ride today."

Emma walked out the bathroom with a robe on and a book in hand, "One step ahead of you. Lay back and lay still."

Regina rested her head on the pillow and Emma placed her right hand on her wife's stomach. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the protection spell. Her hand began to glow a golden color then it moved to Regina's stomach then faded until it no longer shone.

"Now, the kiddos are protected, and we are back to our normally scheduled program which is Epcot."

Regina sat up, waved her hands to where she changed into her purple Epcot vacation shirt and shorts, and then placed a hand on her stomach, "Emma, are you sure they will be alright?"

Emma also changed into her purple Epcot vacation shirt and shorts, sat down on the bed, and placed a hand on her wife's stomach, "Trust me, they will be fine. Here is the protection spell I put on you and our little ones."

Regina took her book from Emma and read the spell. She smiled and kissed Emma's cheek, "I know I can always trust you. This protection spell was perfect. I love you."

Emma got up, gave Regina a butterfly kiss to her lips, and said, "Love you, too, babe. Now, let's go eat some breakfast and off to Epcot."

After they brushed their teeth and finished getting ready, Emma grabbed the backpack and they put on their Magic Bands. Emma grabbed the doorknob.

"Remember, babe; you're now eating for 3."

Regina laughed, "Shut up."

Emma laughed then Regina shook her head, "You idiot."

"You know you love me."

Emma smiled, and Regina laughed, "You're killing me, Smalls."

Emma laughed as they walked out the door and the door closed behind them.

Regina and Emma walked hand in hand to the Monorail station and waited for the next one to pull up. Regina watched as a mom with twin girls was applying sunscreen to them. Emma wrapped her arm around her wife.

Emma whispered in her ear, "That will be us one day."

Regina laughed, "Yes, it will."

The Monorail pulled into the station and opened the doors. The mom with the twins and the father walked on first.

Regina asked one of the Monorail attendants, "We want to get to Epcot. Do we still get on this one going to the Magic Kingdom?"

The attendant named Bill answered, "Yes, go to the Magic Kingdom get off there and get in line for the one going to Epcot."

Emma smiled, "Thank you."

They got on and sat at the bench to the left.

"Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor mantengase alejando de las puertas."

The doors closed and it began to take off. Regina took out her phone to FaceTime Henry. She placed the phone to where she and Emma could see then Henry picked up with his sister and grandparents waving.

"Hi, moms!"

"Hey, kid!"

"Hi, sweetheart wanted to tell you that we are on our way to Epcot."

Snow smiled, "You two look like you're having a wonderful time in your pictures."

Regina smiled, "We are having a wonderful time, but we sure miss you."

Katherine said, "I miss you, Ma and Mommy!"

"We miss you, too, baby girl," Emma smiled then Katherine smiled back, "I can't wait to find out the supwise you have for us when you come home."

Regina and Emma exchanged a "what the hell" expression then Regina questioned, "Katherine Grace Swan-Mills what are you talking about?"

She ran off giggling, and Henry shook his head, "I'm telling you. Since you two left, she has gone cuckoo!"

Emma laughed, and Regina closed her eyes and shook her head, "Henry Daniel, she's only two years old."

Emma nudged Regina, "Hey babe, here's stop number one. We need to get off so we can get on the other Monorail to go to Epcot."

Henry said, "Have fun! Tell me all about Test Track!"

Regina smiled, "We sure will. Love you."

Katherine ran back and yelled while running, "I wuv you, Ma and Mommy!"

Regina and Emma laughed as David began to chase the two-year-old. The call ended, and they got off at the Magic Kingdom. They walked to get to the other Monorail to go to Epcot. While waiting for the next Monorail, Regina turned toward Emma, and the blonde could sense something was on her wife's mind.

"Do you think…no…she couldn't…"

Emma sighed, "Babe, just say it."

Regina took her wife's hand in hers, "Do you think Katherine knows?"

Emma began to think then the Monorail showed up. They walked in and sat on the bench to their right.

Emma decided to answer the question, "I don't know. If she did, she would have said it instead of saying a surprise…wouldn't she?"

Regina shook her head, "Ugh…Emma, we are going to have to tell them."

The blonde wrapped her arm around her wife and kissed her forehead, "Yes, we will. We will tell them when we know for sure that we are indeed expecting."

"It's going to be hard…"

Emma responded, "I know it will be because of our dear Katherine Grace and her dreams, but after we talk to Gold then we can focus on telling the family about the new additions coming."

Regina smiled, and Emma watched as they pulled into the station at Epcot.

Emma and Regina walked down the steps from the Monorail station then up to go through bag check.

Regina looked at Emma, "What's our first fast pass?"

Emma took out her phone then scrolled through her itinerary, "Our first Fast Pass is Soarin', and that is not until 10:15. We have a good hour and twenty minutes to kill."

"So," Regina moved with the line, "What are we going to do first until then?"

Emma looked at the big ball and smiled, "We can go on Spaceship Earth to kill time."

After the bag got checked, they walked to the device, and they both lined up their Magic Bands. After the light turned green, Emma took Regina's hand in hers, and they walked toward Spaceship Earth.

Gold was in his shop polishing a silver tea set when the bell to his shop door sounded. He felt a familiar magic aura, but he knew it wasn't the one who previously possessed it.

Without turning around, he said, "I'm sorry but what you are looking for I don't have."

"Hello dark one, I am not here to look for something. I am looking for someone."

Gold turned around and snickered, "My my…Claire Fairchild, I thought I would never see you again."

Claire rolled her eyes, "Cut the crap; you have the gift of sight. You knew that I was coming. I am looking for Regina."

"Sorry, dearie," Gold put the tea set back in the display case then slapped the towel on the counter, "Regina is not here. She is out of town until Saturday."

Claire thought for a minute, "Well, maybe you could help me with something."

"I don't do favors anymore, dearie."

"Perhaps, I can change your mind," Claire leaned over the counter with an evil grin on her face.

Gold walked away from her and picked up a necklace that was all too familiar to Claire. She recognized it, and her eyes widened.

"Listen well, dearie. My mind is made up and if you want my advice," he placed the necklace down in front of her, "You will leave Regina and her family alone."

Claire laughed, "My how the mighty have fallen. So you don't want to know how I plan on getting rid of gold magic once and for all? Because if I remember correctly, gold magic destroys dark magic by just merely coming into contact with it…"

"Oh ye of little information, I have seen gold magic in action. For those who have little understanding of gold magic, yes, it will act on its own. Those that know how to wield it, they are far more powerful than you can ever imagine. Take my advice, dearie, and leave Regina alone. I can see to it that you can show your way out," Gold walked into the back of his shop leaving Claire alone.

Claire shook her head, looked at the necklace, and noticed a pad of paper with a pen. She wrote a note, waved her hand over the necklace, turned around, and walked out of the shop. Gold reappeared after he heard the door close. He noticed the necklace was still on the counter and found a note. He picked it up and read it.

You are the one with little information. If you want to know more, activate the locator spell on that necklace, and you will find me.

He knew she sparked his curiosity. He placed the necklace in his pocket and walked out of his shop.

Regina and Emma walked hand in hand going to The Land pavilion to go for their Fast Pass.

"It's so beautiful out here," Regina admired the lake that separated where they were from the World Showcase.

"It is. It's like the grown-up version of an amusement park vacation. It has only a handful of rides not over the top thrilling and beautiful places to sit and enjoy the scenery."

Regina smiled, and Emma felt her wife's concern, "It's going to be fine."

"Oh no," Regina quickly shot it down, "I'm not worried about these little ones. I'm…"

She looked ahead, and Emma brought her toward the railing by the lake.

Emma began, "Babe, we will be alright. Katherine will be alright."

"You don't know Claire as I do. When she wants something, she will stop at nothing until she gets what she wants. For years, she was seeking revenge on me for ruining her chances with Jasper. She even broke my heart years later when I was the Evil Queen. I am enjoying my time here very much, but I want to be home with our Katherine Grace. I don't want her to go through any more turmoil because of my past…"

The brunette broke into tears, and Emma took her into an embrace. She began to scratch her wife's back and smiled, "Do you realize what tomorrow is?"

Regina looked into her wife's eyes and smiled, "Our anniversary."

"And you want to leave before you get to see what I have planned?" Emma smirked then Regina sighed, "Damn you, you're such a tease."

Emma giggled, kissed her wife's forehead, and said, "Trust me, if anything happens, we will leave to go home. You have my word. Like I told you before; stop blaming yourself about your past. What's done is done. We will face Claire when we get home."

Regina sighed, "I wish you knew Claire as I do. You would be worried I am."

"I am worried, Regina. I'm worried about you and what Claire could do to you! I am worried about Katherine, Henry, my parents, and hell I'm worried about me! Listen, let's focus on what's in front of us right now. It's you and me and this trip of a lifetime. Let's enjoy what we have left."

Regina smiled, "I'm sorry…"

Emma wrapped her arm around her wife's waist and kissed her cheek, "Stop apologizing. Let's enjoy Soarin' that we've heard so many good things about. I hear the scenery is beautiful."

Henry, Snow, David, and Katherine were enjoying their lunch at Granny's while looking at Emma and Regina's pictures from their memory maker.

"Wook, Ma and Mommy took a picture with Donald Duck."

Henry started laughing, "Look, Grandma, Mom, and Ma took a picture with Disney's version of you! I can't believe they got her to do that!"

Snow looked at the picture, and it was Emma and Regina kissing with "Disney Snow" acting as if she was fainting. Henry, David, and Katherine were laughing as Snow shook her head.

She looked at them, "Alright, laugh it up! Let's see what other shenanigans they are getting themselves into."

The door to Granny's Diner opened, and Gold walked in. Katherine looked up and hid her face in David's chest.

"Katherine, sweetheart, what's the matter?" he questioned then Gold walked up to their table and answered his question, "She doesn't want to see the man with the Dark magic."

Snow stiffened up, "Hello Gold, what type of business are you…"

He rolled his eyes, "I've come to tell you about the mean lady that stole the Dark Fairy's magic."

Katherine turned to look at Gold with wide eyes, and he smiled, "I knew that would get your attention, dearie. You, little one, have the same gift of sight that I do. She is here in Storybrooke."

David bluntly stated, "And why are you here telling us about this? You're trying to scare her some more because you are already doing a good job of that on your own."

"No, I am here for a warning. Regina and Emma's prophecy is far from over. Claire Fairchild is here, and she will stop at nothing until her revenge on Regina is complete even if it means to strike at the heart of someone she loves."

Katherine's head began to hurt, and the lights started to go haywire. Florescent lights exploded, tables shook, and her magic began to swirl around her.

"Kat! Sis!"

Henry attempted to calm his little sister, but it wasn't working. Cups, plates, saucers…they were falling from the bar and tables shattering on the floor. Snow attempted to touch her only to get shocked. David tried to calm her, but it was to no avail. Gold decided to step in.

"Katherine, listen to me. Think of your mommies and how they would react to see you like this. Take a deep breath and think of your mommies smiling at you."

The magic died down, the shaking slowed, and everything slowly returned to the way it was before. Gold smiled, and Katherine took him in an embrace then started to cry. He closed his eyes and scratched her back to try and calm her.

"Mean lady needs to go bye-bye," Katherine said, and Gold answered, "I agree wee one. I agree."

Snow, David, and Henry looked at each other then realized that what just happened in the diner was only the beginning.

-Nighttime Storybrooke-

Gold followed the necklace to the docks where it stopped at Claire sitting on one of the benches. He sat down next to her.

She smiled, "So, you decided to take me up on my offer."

"I'm not taking up any offers, dearie. I am here to listen to whatever it is you believe that I am the one with very little information."

Claire smiled evilly, "You believe gold magic can't be destroyed."

Gold stated, "I know for a fact that gold magic can't be destroyed."

Claire handed an old piece of parchment to Gold. He read through the writing.

"Regina was your friend. Why do you want to do this to her?"

Claire yelled with tears in her eyes, "She broke my heart by making me betrothed to Prince Benjamin who was under a memory potion! Jasper and I were forever kept apart because of her jealousy! I never got the happy ending I deserve because she wanted Jasper for herself! She deserved everything she got while she was the Evil Queen even when I took a possible suitor for her. He taught me everything I needed to know about some magic that Regina has no idea how to use."

She took out some Tarot cards, shuffled them, and a table magically appeared in front of them. Claire flipped over one card and placed it into the middle of the table. Gold looked at the card in the middle of the table and snickered when he was staring at the Devil card.

Claire explained, "You were the deal maker. You laid down all different situations to your clients as long as it benefited you too."

She flipped over another card to the right which was the Wheel of Fortune.

Claire explained, "A change is coming to you. Depending on what you want to come out of it, you will learn very quickly. Again, the choice is yours."

She flipped over another card to the left of the Devil which was the Tower card in the advanced position.

Claire delivered the blow, "You are now placed in a position, Dark One. Because of a prophecy given long ago, a change has already begun. A change that neither you nor I could undo. But, by our choices and our commitments to ourselves, we alone can make this change go for either the better or, the worse. I will leave the parchment with you. Whenever you make your decision, you know how to find me."

She made herself disappear in a cloud of gray smoke leaving Gold to think about what was just given to him.
