I did my best. Sorry it wasn't that good.

Regina created a door with her wand to open to the Emerald City knew Wonderland is when something bad will happen that will cause Berta to betray her, but she hopes she is wrong. What choice Berta will make, she wonders. Will Berta trust her? She knows something is wrong with her baby. The moment she stopped being Dark One; somehow her baby took the essence of a Dark One because it requires to a soul. She touches her belly as they walked over deep in thought, Regina holds two souls, but because Berta took hers, she has no way to defend her baby from the essence of a Dark One. She looked over to Berta quickly seeing the fear in her. Berta looked back at her deep in her eyes and simply nodded while seeing the ring on her left fingers. Emma remained her arms around Regina protective as they walked across the doorframe to bright glimmering green city. Emma have never seen so beautiful and huge with smooth stone walls. There are people in all sizes and colors walking around outside of Emerald City doing their business. Berta followed behind Regina and Emma. Regina searches for Arya as they walked towards the castle.

Emma broke the silent, "I don't see Arya anywhere."

Regina turns to Emma, "I don't either, so maybe she's in the castle with Oz. I remember she said that Oz gave her temporary teleportation to see me."

Emma nodding remembering that.

They enter without permission walking the long hall inside of Emerald castle. Regina saw a figure of a tall woman of black hair and blue eyes at the end of the hall in the middle watching something on the ground. "Arya, is that you?" Regina nervously asked when got closer.

Arya looked up freaking out pointing at the moving picture on the ground, "Mom, we have to go! Queen of Hearts is lining up the prisoners to outside! My dad and Ceresi is on that line up!"

Regina reassured her touching her side arm, "Arya, it will be hours until they began execution front of the people because Queen of Hearts likes to make announcement and put quite a show before that begins. As for now, your dad and Ceresi is safe," she turns front of the large curtain threatening him, "I know you are behind it, Oz. You are nothing, but a simple man who mixes science and magic since you have no powers of your own. I suggest you make a show or should I make an announcement to entire Emerald City. What will it be, Mr. Oz, the man from Kansas?"

Arya was puzzled, "Mr. Oz is fake?"

Regina shrugged as she looked back to Arya, "No, he just a desperate man who looks for name for himself since he's nobody in the Land Without Magic. He seeks to prove himself."

The curtain opened revealing a man, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Regina smiled opening her hand front of her, "You know what I want. I want it now!"

The man gave her a necklace with red gem with two pair of red shoes. Regina thanked him. "Arya, wear this shoe and never take it off," giving her the second pair of shoes, "as soon you are with your sister, have her put them on. I want both of you go to Land Without Magic and stay there. As for your dad, don't worry about him. He will be fine."

Arya felt threatened because Regina had no right to give orders or even tell her what to do, "Why is that, Regina? I don't have to do anything you have to say."

Regina laughed to herself, "After I leave Wonderland, something will happen and I don't want you and your sister to be in harm's way. So it is important that you do this. I am trying to save both of your life. Nothing is more important than life of my daughters. All of them and that includes both of you. There is a reason why Queen of Hearts is against you both. Now please promise me that you will do this as soon you are with your sister."

Arya with her arms crossed, "Not without explanation."

Emma stood behind Regina as she listen wrapping around her waist then interrupted, "Arya, Queen of Hearts is Cora, your grandmother. After Wonderland, there will be a new curse that will affect all realms except Land Without Magic. So if you remain here …."

Arya was shocked, "Queen of Hearts is my grandmother?!"

Regina nodded, "She certainly doesn't deserve that title, but yes she is your grandmother. So if she has your sister then she probably knows you both are my daughters. Your sister is bait for me."

Arya trying to take all the information in, "Ok. As soon I have my sister, we will click three times and leave to Land Without Magic."

Regina smiled warmly, "Thank you. There is one more thing, it concerns Daniel."

Arya eyes crossed, "Daniel Colter, my biological father?"

Regina nodded, "Yes, under no circumstances you are to tell him you both my daughters. Whatever he says, do not trust him."

Arya doesn't understand, "Why not?"

Regina wanted to soften the blow, but she can't, "he is under Cora's control and she has his heart. So he is her eyes and ears. Do not give any important information once he is with us, ok?"

Arya nodding slowly, "Why is this significant?"

Regina explained further pointing at Berta, "As for now, he thinks that I don't know what he is doing. He thinks that I think he is simply Daniel, but I know he is not. We are going to make him believe and give him false information, so Berta can do what needs to be done to distract Cora then Emma can take care of her for me."

Arya nodded, but it adds more questions. Regina seems to be in hurry so she quiet herself, "I see."

Regina conjured a small black ribbon then gave to Berta, "I want you to go ahead and meet with Red Queen to do whatever you need to do. Instead I want you to offer that I know where her true love is and you have this," pointing at the ribbon, "to neutralize Queen of Heart's magic. I know Red Queen loathes her, so bring Red Queen over to Queen of Hearts to distract so you can put this on. We all will see you there."

Emma sees where she is going, "So she will be trapped and caught with all of us around then what exactly do you want me to do? I know she does evil things, but she's still your mother. I know you still love her even she loves you in her own way."

Regina tries to remain calm to explain the plan, but doesn't exactly know what Berta plans to do after they landed in Wonderland, so she walked Emma to the corner to speak privately out of their earshot.

"Emma, I acknowledge this is hard for me because she's my mother, but she is harming the people. I have to put the people first, so I want you simply put her to sleep for now because the only person in entire realms that loves Cora is me because everyone else hates her." Regina conjured a yellow dust liquid potion and handed to Emma. Emma looked down perplexed, "I will be bound because Daniel and Berta promises to offer me, so you will have to do the rest. After she is neutralize, do what you usually do then throw this directly at her and Red Queen."

Emma nodded holding the potion, "What about Berta?"

Regina shrugged touching her belly, "I don't know. We just go with the flow. She will make one of two choices because she is the key to bring back King Arthur. Magic comes with a price, as you know. The life is Berta for King Arthur with my soul. Soon, Berta will visit someone before she sees Red Queen regarding our baby."

Emma looked up seriously wrapping around Regina, "No one is touching you or our daughter! I won't let it happen."

Regina smiled at her protective savior, "I know you won't, but you have to let it play out to see if she makes the right one because I hope she will. I have grown fond of her, Emma. If she doesn't then you can do what you need to do

Emma understood and kissed on her cheek, "I trust you, but if any person tries harms you, I will end their life whoever they are." Emma knows that Regina can take care of herself, but she is her life. Emma hugged her tightly but Regina doesn't really like public display of affection but this time she allows Emma, so she hugged her back. Emma whispered, "I love you" to her ears. Regina smiles reservedly into her eyes caressing on her chest of her red leather jacket then pulled to lean to kiss her on the lips. That is all Emma needs since she knows Regina is private person.

Regina sighed, "Ready crash the party since that is what you do best."

Emma laughed, but stopped her, "What is that red gem necklace is for? It looks like the one Zelena has."

Regina sighed heavily, "Let's not worry about that in this moment. We need to focus on important task."

Emma doesn't like how Regina acts like this going to end, but she knows if she pressures farther, it won't end well for Regina because of her hormones. She remained silent with eyes crossed and nodded. Regina knew Emma is not happy with her answer, but she cannot think or worry about that until she makes here her daughters are safe including her unborn daughter. Regina doesn't give all of her answers because she knows it will break Emma's heart knowing that her unborn daughter's future will turn evil like herself, so she is trying to prevent it. Regina and Emma walked back as she saw Berta and Arya chatting like they know each other. Regina took out her wand to create a door to Land of Oz outside of the village of Castle of Hearts then she informs Arya to stay in the crowd close to Ceresi to be ready to free her and other people. Berta has already left as soon they crossed the door frame to see Red Queen. They walked through the village searching for Daniel and Regina can feel Emma's is getting angrier struggling with herself to remain calm as she looked at Emma walking besides her in savior's mode. Few minutes later, they heard someone calling out "Regi. Regi!"

Emma growls at herself whispering to Regina, "If he doesn't stop doing that, he is not going to survive in next 5 minutes, Regina!"

Regina calms herself as she listens to Emma and nodded then they both looked back and saw Daniel walking towards them, "I knew you both would come, but it may be little too late. They have already started."

Regina replied, "It is not too late, Daniel. Just bring us to Queen of Hearts and we will take care of the rest."

Daniel breathes finally smiling, "Regi …," then when Emma heard his pet name for her like they have been together for years, she lunged forward but Regina quickly stood front of her holding her back, Emma softly but yelled at him "she's not your love anymore!"

Daniel backed away because he heard legends of the savior and knows he's going to lose in this fight, but he has to try.

Regina standing between Daniel and Emma once again as Emma pulled out her father's sword, "Daniel, I would appreciate you start calling me Regina from now on. I am not your Regi anymore. I am not that 15 years old girl you knew before."

Daniel remained stubborn, "But Regi, it's us…"

Emma furiously didn't let him finish trying to push Regina away, but she knows she cannot still trying to fight against Regina's body to make her move out of the way as Regina tries to hold Emma back determinedly. Daniel backed away again a little as Emma tries to lunge forward but Regina is not letting her. Daniel decided to try to win Regina, "Regina, back away and let her," he turns to Emma, "I propose a sword dueling, but no magic."

Emma smiled devilishly as she has been wanting to do this since he came to Storybrooke, "Pleasure will be all mine."

Regina looked back at Emma excited about this then to Daniel who is not giving up, "Daniel, it is not her I'm worried about. It is you and you won't survive in less 2 minutes. Please consider this."

Daniel glared at her then drew out his sword. Regina forced herself to move out of the way when Emma carefully to have her aside as she eyed her, "its ok, Regina. I got this."

Regina sighed as she rolled her eyes, "That's what I'm afraid of."

Daniel circled away from her, keeping his sword in motion and continually changing his guard and stance. Emma roared angrily and tries to slash down at his head, but he countered by raising his sword high and striking horizontally then blew offset Emma's at the tip of her sword. Emma blocked his sword before he could cut her face. Emma kept moving, not wanting to be stuck too long within Daniel's reach. Anger tore at Emma's mind for falling for his trap, and she feels full of passion to bring her love's honor. The man who left and didn't even try to come back for her when Regina fought against Evil Snow finding a way back to him. She wanted to unleash all of her rage and hatred on him. She feels that Daniel does not even deserve her. Emma moved in close and impeded Daniel's sword arm, gripped her own sword halfway down the blade and plunged into chest but stopped herself when Daniel fell sweating, gasping and stared at his opponent with a mix of surprise and malice. The crowd let out a mix of excited cheers and mournful cries when Daniel tries to grab his sword back, but Emma stood over his body with her sword onto his face then she touched the sword on the ground and pushed it further away. Regina watched them as they duel feeling anxious and extremely nervous when Emma stood over Daniel.

Emma spoke up, "Know your place, loverboy!"

Daniel swallowed his throat about to speak but Regina stopped Emma, "Emma!"

Regina stood between them, "Emma, he isn't even worth it."

Emma looked down at Daniel, "He needs to have a high regard for you! He is just pacing around you believes he has a right to speak to you like that. He doesn't!" starting to lose for words all the sudden feeling uptight and tense completed focused on Daniel. Emma couldn't think clearly for all she wants to do set him straight.

Regina looked down at Daniel looking alarmed then back to Emma, "You're right, he doesn't; however, it doesn't give you the right to decide this, Charmine. You should be feeling sorry for him."

Emma looked back to Regina puzzled, "What makes you say that?"

Regina pointed down to Daniel, "he lost me, so he's trying to get me to remember the girl I used to be by winning my heart. He is trying to be somebody again, but now he's searching for something to belong; a purpose actually. He's a sad little man" Regina then pointed to Emma, "I belong to you, and I will always will."

Emma stood silently seriously looking at Daniel as he felt inconsolable hearing the words from Regina's mouth still holding sword towards him.

"Charmine, please. Let him go." Regina tabbed on her arm to put down her sword.

Emma nodded having her end of her sword pining on his throat, "Daniel, if you disregard her or in any way and I will have your head. Is that understood?"

Daniel agreed trying to breathe, "Yes, I understand" he looked at Regina, "I apologize for my behavior, Regina. I just wanted you back into my life again. I'm sorry I didn't fight hard enough for you."

Regina didn't say anything as she ignored him leaning closer affectionately is the only way to get through Emma's thick skull while caressing her hand as she gripped her sword using her warmly tone, "Charmine…"

Emma sighed as she put down her sword back into her belt, "If he does this one more time …"

Regina stopped her before she can finish the sentence, "He won't," he looked down at Daniel in her royal tone, "You won't, will you Daniel?"

Daniel got himself back up picking his sword back into his belt clearing his throat, "No, ma'am." Daniel took out his light rope shackle to use as a handcuffs to put on Regina because he saw the heart soldiers walking towards him, but Emma protective of her pushed him away yelling, "You are not allowed to touch her!"

Daniel backed away with hands up, "Right," showing the rope, "I just need to put these on Regina because as you can see the Queen of Heart's soldiers are heading this way." Daniel decided to give Emma instead.

Emma looked down the road and saw 5 soldiers heading her way since Queen of Hearts ordered to receive him back to her. Emma took the rope abruptly out of his hands and Regina stayed silent during their interacting. Emma faced shielding from the soldier's sight, seeing Regina smile on her face then she whispering, "Nothing will happen to you, I promise." Emma wrapped the rope around her wrist carefully, but not tight but firm.

Regina nodded trying to reassure her murmuring using Emma's words, "it's going to be ok. Me and you against the world, remember?"

Emma laughed silently and quickly kissed on her forehead seconds before the soldiers appears behind them. Emma turned announced, "we demand to see Queen of Hearts and we have Regina Mills" showing Regina in person.

The Heart soldiers stared at two of them then to Daniel, "Queen of Hearts wants you and bring your guest along."

The soldiers moved out of the way while Emma and Daniel started walking towards the castle then stayed behind Regina to make sure she doesn't run off. Emma looked back with worried eyes, but Regina simply nodded with small smile with all the plan in her mind. Emma doesn't feel any better knowing something bad going to happen and doesn't want it to end. They walked for miles and the soldiers kept pushing Regina to go faster laughing pretty loudly. Emma doesn't like how the soldiers are treating Regina and tries to fight the urges with herself trying not to cause conflict. The savior grabbed the sword on the handle gripping on it, but Daniel tapped on her shoulder and told her not to then reminding her that Regina doesn't want her to do this. They all walked into the majestic hall of the Heart Castle towards the grand room where Queen of Hearts sits with vial covered with a man with rough skin, short black hair and black eyes, an simple short man in a black suit besides her speaking for her with a horn.

Daniel bowed before the Queen, but Emma and Regina didn't. Daniel had Regina front of him, "I bring you Regina Mills, my Queen."

The man listened to the queen under the vial then stood up, "the Queen is pleased with you. You may go."

Daniel stopped himself, "Wait. You promised. I gave you someone that you want more than Dark One essence. You tricked me. Give me my heart back!"

Regina stepped in, "Mother, please. Don't do this. Give his heart back and let him go. You have me and the Savior. We have what you always wanted. You will live to regret this, I guarantee it."

The man lean in again to listen what she has to say then stood up as Cora returned Daniel's heart, "The queen requires you all of you go to the private room."

Daniel nodded, "Ceresi and her father?"

The Heart soldiers threw Ceresi and her father onto the floor as promised.

Regina smiles as she saw Ceresi for the first time but ashamed because she's confined. She looks a twin to Arya, amazing she thought. She looked up and down studying, but this one feels different. She saw the bracelet on her wrist then it explained. She has magic powers, but Arya doesn't.

Emma stood beside her trying to see what Regina sees then saw the black leather bracelet. Ceresi haven't looked at Regina since she's trying to make sure her father isn't harmed and helping him to get up.

Emma spoke up before Queen of Hearts left lilting up white aura magic from her hands about to blast her, "Remove her bracelet now!"

Ceresi looked up quickly looking at strange blonde woman and Regina, knew right away it is her biological mother then stared at her breathing heavily. She couldn't believe she's really here, but couldn't speak up since she has all the questions she wanted to ask. Regina walked forward, but stopped herself because she wasn't allowed to. Queen of Hearts removed the bracelet since she has no defense against white magic especially a Savior. Emma walked towards the man to heal him as white aura flickering from her hands all over the older man. Regina smiles as she sighs thankful that Ceresi is alive and well then looked over to Ceresi, "You're free to go, as promised."

Ceresi with millions of questions filled her mind searching her voice, "I …" doesn't know what to say.

Regina simply smiled as she composed herself.

The soldiers grabs both of them to throw them out of the castle as Red Queen and Berta enters. Regina and Emma looked behind them as the loud door opened. The man brought them all to the private room then freed Regina. The man had all the soldiers to leave to give Queen of Hearts privacy then he bowed seconds before he closed the door. The Queen of Hearts removed the vail, "Glad to know I'm alive this time around."

Regina crossed her arms then Emma spoke up, "You won't be for long since you don't have heart and I know exactly where it is."

Cora turned towards Emma laughing, "You think I'll make mistake this time, no. My heart is within me and protected."

Red Queen stood beside Cora as Berta stood closely eyeing Regina trying to find an opening. Regina lightly nodded. "Always meddling in my life, Mother" feeling coldness in her body.

Emma stood front of her protecting then Cora noticed, "I see that you have your pet trained."

Emma yelled at her, "Back off lady!"

Cora cackled, "This is simply delicious" then turned to Berta urging to stand beside her, "did you tell them what you learned previously?"

Berta wide eyes surprised, "No, my Queen."

Cora decided to play games to break Emma, "Emma, my dear, did you know about the baby inside of her?"

Regina knew and snarls, "Mother! You do not want to go there."

Emma doesn't know what is going on turns to Regina, "Know what?"

Cora turns to Berta seductively, "Berta, tell Regina what you have been doing."

Regina puzzled playing along, "What does she mean, Berta?"

Emma not wanting to do this, "Enough games, sarcastic bitch!" threw the white aura electric to throw her off planning to knock her unconscious, but failed as she got up. Berta ran quickly to tie her as she got up trying to distort herself as she crush her hands into her heart. Regina as throwing dark red aura towards her mother trying to push her away then Emma's magic joined to mix their essence. It took awhile for the ribbon to take effect, but finally she has no magic anymore.

Cora in angry tone trying to get ribbon off, but it won't budge, "What have you done?"

Red Queen watched all four of them at play while trying to move stealthy towards back of Regina magically had her short sword appear then grabbed Regina with sword on her throat.

Emma saw and yelled her name, but Red Queen stopped her using Regina has her shield, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You wouldn't risk the unborn child."

Emma put her hands down carefully, "Let Regina go."

Red Queen shrugged, "Why should I? Her baby is what I need, the powers she holds."

Regina tries to fight off but she knows she can't use her powers yet.

Emma doesn't understand what's so special about her unborn daughter, "It's too early …"

Berta drew out a small sword that has weird black writings on it, different markings on the blade and it was glowingly black. Regina is terrified for her own daughter as she touched her belly, not fighting against Red Queen anymore.

Cora got up but Emma knocked her out before she could even get up. Emma with white aura in her hands, "Berta, whatever you think you're doing, don't do this."

Berta turned facing her, "I have to do this for my daughter!"

Emma explained, "That is where you're wrong. You don't know what you're doing."

Berta about to answer, but Red Queen stopped her from speaking, "Do not listen to her. You're doing this to save the people and your daughter will come back."

Emma let her magic dissolve then looked between Regina who is overly emotional and Berta is hesitating looking at Regina sadly, "I have to do this, Regina. Please try to understand." Berta is standing mere apart from Regina with tip of her knife onto her belly.

Regina looked back into Berta eyes, but didn't say anything.

Emma thought of something, "Berta, look at me," Berta looked back, "I know you love Regina and you loved her in way I couldn't. I'll be forever grateful. Regina tells me that you're the only good person she met in entire realms and believe me when I tell you this. She never admit this, not even in millions of years and certainly not for one person. She believes in you. I do not trust you at all. I believe that you will destroy her life. I want you to prove me wrong, Berta."

Berta was surprised to hear that Regina talks to her about this then looked into Regina teary eyes as she looked down.

Red Queen had enough of this still holding Regina tightly, "Do not listen to them, Berta. They are just trying to prolong this by tricking you into thinking that. If you don't do this, you'll never see your daughter."

Emma yelled at Red Queen, "She'll never see her daughter either way!"

Regina stared back at Berta, "That is why I will never love you because you would do this. My love will never hesitate." Berta was shocked, "You knew I would do this?"

Regina nodded, "I was giving you the benefit of a doubt."

Berta still having fears all of the sudden rushing back, "I … I have to do this. You were never going to give me back my daughter."

Regina doesn't know where her insecurity are coming from, but Emma spoke up, "Berta, whoever told you that wasn't true. You don't know what Regina has plans for you. She asked you to trust her, so trust her against your instinct."

Berta conjured a third lamp that she stolen from Red Queen, "Where the hell you get that?!"

Berta ignored Red Queen handing the lamp to Emma, "I am sorry. Regina has been looking for third lamp."

Emma swallowed her throat as she took the lamp knowing her next step, "You're making a big mistake."

Berta lightly cut her belly as her cut bleeds leaning close then Regina was thwarted, "You shouldn't done that." Berta looked back dropped her knife looking at her hands disappearing, "What's happening to me?"

Red Queen put down her sword laughing like she has won. Emma violently throw her with white aura to throw Red Queen against the opposite wall then luckily grabs Regina before she fell onto the floor. Emma cried, "What do I do, Regina? I don't want to lose you again." Regina trying to control herself to stay awake then smiled at Emma touching side of her face.

Emma then watches Berta dissolving as she transferred Regina soul into a light white ball held by King Arthur. Emma answered, "A soul for a soul, Berta, a life for a life. That is what Regina is trying to protect entire time." Emma searches her clothes for the wand to teleport to her vault to find the other two genie lamp.

Regina conjured the wand and gave it to her, "the other two lamps are underground of my vault. It can only be opened by blood magic through the mirror. Make sure you put all three of them in the barn with my blood. It will only opened with my blood and Regma."

Emma cried out, "Please stay awake."

Regina tries to fight to stay awake to tell her before she is knocked out as she took off both of her rings, "Make sure you grab our marriage license and our story, Once Upon a Time and leave it inside underground vault so it will be protected." Regina gave her ring when she is passed out.

She quickly grabbed to conjure a door to Regina's vault before King Arthur fully formed into a human being. She picked her up and ran through before King Arthur is able to touch her.

Emma fell on the vault stoned floor panicking looking for Regina, but thankfully she saw her inches away. Regina looks lifeless then Emma touched her belly, "You both will be safe, I promise." She tries to heal the scar on her belly that Berta tries to cut through, but it won't heal. She felt something heavy under her clothes, then searches under it to see what it is and found it is the necklace of red gem similar to Zelena's, but doesn't know what it is for. Regina always does everything for a reason. She wonders what Regina plans to do with it.
