A little shorter (?) than average, but it's fluff. I'm thinking the family has had enough 'drama' for a while, so it's on to happier things. If anyone has any prompts they'd like to see in here, please either review or PM me as I'm open to suggestions.

"Boys? When you're done eating, can you please make sure the bed is ready for Gramma?" Regina asked as she gave Tori another pancake. She was glad they had a kitchenette in the room and could cook breakfast. Sure, there was continental breakfast through the hotel, but this was easier.

"Okay, Mom. Is Ma up yet?" Henry asked.

"Not yet, honey. Her and Eva are still sleeping, and I want to let them sleep a bit. Eva had rough night." She sighed. "I had to tell them my story."

Henry looked at Regina and then went around the counter to hug her. "I know that can't be easy, mom. They didn't go against you, did they?"

Regina hugged him back and gave a shrug. "Not Malory. Eva seemed a bit on the fence, but after Zelena talked to her, I think she felt better about it."

"She's always the overthinker." He stated. "She's kinda like Ma with that. Actually, she's a lot like Ma in many ways."

Regina chuckled. "She really is, whereas Malory is more like me." She then looked at him. "You're a lot like me too. You've got your Ma and your father in you, but some things are still me."

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think I got a lot from you."

"Like your need to always be right?" Zelena asked, ruffling his hair as she came into the kitchen. "Your mother has that too."

Regina playfully rolled her eyes. "That's only because I am always right."

Emma braved taking the kids out again, this time with no one getting wet, and enjoyed the day with them. They loved the swan boats and the trolley ride and were just chatting away when they came back to the hotel.

"Gramma!" Eva called out and smiled widely as she saw Cora sitting in one of the chairs in the living area. "You're back!"

Cora chuckled and nodded, holding her arms out to hug her grandchildren – carefully of course. "I'm doing much better though my daughters insist I rest."

The week flew by with trips to see things with the kids and taking Cora back for updates at the hospital. They were given the all clear on Friday and once they were all packed, they headed back. They weren't in a hurry, they didn't want to have Cora in the car for too long, so they made various stops for food and to just stretch. By Friday night, everyone was home, and everyone was feeling much better than they were when they left.

Fuck. This can't be…it just can't be. How many days has it been? I've been sick every day the last 14 days, but it can't be because…No I can't be. We didn't plan this at all. Shit! What do I do now? She's going to be so mad at me and the kids…the girls are going to hate me, hate this. The timer beeped and she looked at the test. "Fuck me." She sighed and slumped to the floor in their guest bathroom.

What am I going to tell her? What is she going to say? Positive? How in the hell is the test positive? Another kid, another life to take care of. Can we do that? We never planned on another baby. A foster kid, maybe, once the other kids were older, but not a baby, not now. I'll have to tell her tonight."

"Emma? Are you okay?" Emma looked up, snapped out of her thoughts as Anslie called to her.

"Yes, I'm fine, sorry. Did you need something?"

"Would you mind helping me with the cake?"

"Of course, sorry." Emma said as she came over to her. "This cake is adorable."

Anslie smiled. "Thanks. Tori said she wanted a pink and purple cake with green writing. She also insisted on her full name. She's so proud to be a Mills."

Emma smiled and looked at the little one who was more than happy to be the center of attention. After two months of being with Zelena and Anslie, the little one had come out of her shell. Emma hardly had to see her anymore and marveled at her resilience. "I'm so proud of all of you. You honestly make the cutest family."

"Thank you. I do appreciate that."

The two carried the cake over to the table and smiled as Tori came over, dragging Zelena's hand.

"My cake! What's it say, Mama?" She asked, looking up at Zee.

Zelena smiled and kissed her cheek. "It says 'Happy Gotchya Day Victoria Cora Mills! Love, Mommy Anslie and Mama Zelena."

Tori smiled and reached to hug both her mothers as pictures were taken.

After the party and the kids went to bed, the adults sat around the fire table chatting and drinking, well some of them drinking.

"Regina? Did you hear me?" Cora asked, snapping Regina out of her daydream. "Dear, where were you just now?"

Regina shook her head. "I'm fine. Sorry, just…reflecting. What did you say?"

"I just said that I had my appointment today and everything came back perfect."

"That's great, mom, I'm so happy to hear that." Regina said, tapping her mother's hand. She then looked over at her wife. "Emma? Honey, can we maybe go in your office for a minute? I…I need to talk to you."

Emma swallowed, wondering if Regina knew. "Sure." She said, trying to sound calm.

The two went to Emma's office and both seemed distracted and nervous.

"Regina I…" "Emma I…" They both started and then chuckled. Regina sighed. "You first."

Emma swallowed and then started pacing. "Regina, I'm so sorry for what I'm about to tell you. I know we didn't plan for more kids but…"

"More kids? Emma, how did you know?"

"How did I know what?"

"How did you know that I'm…" Regina stopped and gasped. "No…oh no, no, no. You too?"

"Me too what?" Emma's eyes went wide, her hand going to her stomach. "You?!"

After just a few moments of silence the two both started laughing.

"Oh gods, Regina, what are we going to do?" Emma asked as the two sat down on the sofa, holding each other. "The kids…well the girls are going to be so upset."

Regina couldn't help but chuckle. "You mean Eva." She said and sighed. "But you're right. Gods I thought one was a wrench in our life, but two? Are they twins?"

Emma let out a chuckle. "I have no idea. It must have happened that night we…took turns."

"After we came back with Mother." Regina recalled. "Damn it, Emma, why do you have to be so insatiable and irresistible?"

Emma laughed at that. "I could ask you the same thing." She then sighed. "We have to tell them. I…I'd like to see if Mal can tell how far along we are for sure."

"I guess there's no time like the present." Regina said, looking over and then kissing Emma. "I know we didn't plan this but…gods I'm so happy. Maybe this time we can both just have a normal pregnancy. I know I'm kind of excited to not have mine pushed forward dangerously."

"Baby, this is going to get crazy. We're both going to be pregnant at the same time."

"We can handle it, my love, together." Regina said, kissing Emma again. "Wait…we're not like stealing Zelena and Anslie's thunder if we go tell everyone, are we?"

Emma thought about that. "I mean, the party is over, so I don't think so. But maybe we should wait. Maybe we just tell Mal and see what she says?"

"Let's just go out there and see what happens." Regina suggested, and Emma agreed.

The two went back out and smiled as they sat down, not even noticing the break in the conversation.

"So, who is it this time?" Zelena asked as she sipped her wine.

"Who is what now?" Emma asked, avoiding eye contact.

"Oh, come off it. Both of you have been in other worlds today and neither of you are drinking and Mal said she can sense it but can't tell who it is." David stated, looking a them. "We just want to know who to congratulate."

"Emma" "Regina". They both said at once and laughed at their confused faces.

"No fucking way." Mal said, moving to them and placing one hand on each of their stomachs. "Oh, that explains so much. I thought I was losing my senses." She felt around and then smirked a bit before moving back to her chair.

"What was that smirk about?" Emma asked, feeling a bit worried.

"How far along are they?" Snow asked.

"About two months. They're both doing great from what I can tell. Strong and right on track."

"Congratulations." Anslie said with a smile and the others followed suite.

"Thanks. I have no idea how we're going to tell the kids."

"Yeah, have fun with Eva." Lacey said with a chuckle. "I don't envy you on that."

"The most important thing is making sure the others don't feel left out once you have these new ones to deal with." Cora stated. "Which you two are so good at already. Look, I can tell you're both excited, but you're both scared, but don't forget that you have us to help you."

"It's not so much scary as it is…unplanned." Regina stated, sipping her iced tea.

"No. It's scary." Emma said with a chuckle. "Do we consider them twins?"

Mal let out her own chuckle, causing Regina to raise her brows. "What's so funny, dragon?"

"Oh, I'm not sure you could handle it if I told you, Queenie, but I suppose someone has to." She then took a breath and turned to them, everyone else listening intently. "You can consider them twins, I mean each set twins, or you can consider them quadruplets."

Silence. Nothing but silence and a ringing in Regina's ears. "What?" She whispered. "Mal that's not funny." Panic filled her and she felt dizzy.

"That's so not funny." Emma said, white as a sheet with a tinge of green.

"I'm not trying to be funny." Mal said, now feeling bad with how she told them. "You're each having twins…two…however you want to word it. You're going to have four little swanlettes running around in seven months time."

Emma's hands went to her head, her eyes closing as she tried hard not to pass out or throw up. Four kids? "We already have four fucking kids. I can't…four babies at once? And a teenager, and twin pre-teens, and a child. I can't breathe. I legit cannot breathe."

Snow moved over and knelt in front of her daughter. "Emma honey look at me and breathe. In, 2, 3, 4, 5, out 2, 3, 4, 5. It's scary, I get that, and I can't imagine being in your position, but baby girl, you and Regina can do it. You also have us. We can start looking now for nannies."

"Yeah, and we can look at the house and find the best way to add on to it." David said, looking between Regina and Emma. "Guys, it's okay. You'll be okay."

"But will the kids be?" Regina asked, wiping some tears. "Will Henry? He has already felt so left out and now…gods I don't want him to move to his fathers permanently, but I also wouldn't blame him. Hell, I'm sure the girls will want to go with him."

"And poor Oliver." Emma said. "He's only been the baby for five years."

"Well, Henry only had five years." Cora stated. "Same with the girls. Honey, I get why you're worried, but I don't think you're giving your kids enough credit." She then looked at Regina. "I do, however, think you may want to make a career change."

Regina sighed and gave a nod. "Honestly, I've been thinking that anyway." She looked at Mal. "I was thinking of stepping down and letting you run for mayor. I mean, technically anyone can run, but you'd have my support." She looked at Zelena. "I just figured you'd want to be with your family."

"You're right." Zelena stated. "I love being your assistant and filling in, but I don't want it full time."

Mal thought about it. "Of course I'd need to discuss it with my family, but if I do agree, what would you do?"

Regina smiled. "Honestly? I want to be with my babies. All of them. I want to be home and watch them grow and watch the ones we have grow. I want to make my wife dinner so when she comes home – from the backyard office – she can sit and enjoy our family." Regina said with a chuckle as she looked at Emma. "I know you're in love with your job and you do an amazing job at it. If you want to keep it, I want you to."

"It's a lot to think about, but I really don't think I could abandon my patients." Emma said, starting to feel better.

"Mal?" Lacey stated. "I want you to run for mayor. I think you'd be amazing at it. You've already been co-mayor for years."

Mal smirked. "Wouldn't I be the Queen?"

Regina raised a brow. "Never. I will always be the Queen."

The next morning, Emma rolled over and reached for Regina, finding the bed empty. She was about to go back to bed when she heard her wife in the bathroom. She got up and went in there, holding her hair and rubbing her back. "You should have woken me up."

"Why?" Regina groaned. "You need your sleep too."

"Because you were up with me when I was sick last night."

"At least they take turns making us sick." Regina chuckled and then got up to brush her teeth. "Baby, we need to figure so many things out."

"And we have seven months to do so."

"Unless they grow faster like the girls did with you."

Emma sighed. "Right. I keep forgetting that. I think the first thing we have to do is talk to the kids. I was thinking, what if we make it fun? What if we tell them, and before they can focus on anything bad, we tell them we're also remodeling the house and want their ideas?"

"Hmm. Not a bad idea. But what if they want a castle or something silly?"

Emma shrugged with a small smile.

"Oh, my gods, you want a castle! Emma, that's…adorable."

"I'm just saying I'm not against it." She grinned. "I mean, we could have a room in a tower."

"I keep forgetting you never got that, sweetheart." Regina said. "Well, if that's what the kids decide, that's what we'll do."

"Moms, what's going on?" Henry asked as he sat down, his siblings already in the room. "Please don't tell me someone else is having health issues."

"No, my Prince." Regina said. "Not exactly anyway."

"First, please know we didn't plan this." Emma said, causing Henry to groan.

"Really moms? You can't keep your hands off each other still?"

"What are you talking about, Henry?" Eva asked, not understanding what he was saying.

Regina cleared her throat and they all looked at her. "I'm asking you guys to please have an open mind here. Your mom and I…we're both pregnant."

"What?" Ry asked, surprised. "You're both gonna have a baby?"

"That's so cool!" Both Regina and Emma were shocked by Eva's words.

"You think so?"

Eva nodded. "Yes. I think it's great!"

"Me too!" Oliver said. "I don't wanna be the baby anymore."

"You'll always be our baby." Emma said and then looked at Henry. "You okay? Henry, you know we will still feel the same about you."

"I know. It's just a lot to take in." He looked around. "Where are they gonna sleep?"

Emma looked at Ry. "You okay with this?"

Ry had been quiet, deep in thought. She looked up at Emma. "Will they get sick like I did?"

"I hope not." Regina said. "But no one can guarantee that."

She nodded and then smiled. "I'm happy. But where are they going to sleep?"

"I can share a room with Henry, and they can have my room." Oliver said as Henry tried to hide his frown.

"Actually, one room won't be enough unless it's a bigger room." Regina stated and took a breath. "You see, your mom and I…well we each have two babies in our tummies."

Silence.

"Quadruplets?! Are you serious?!" Came from Henry.

"Four babies! Oh, my gods!" Said the girls.

"That's a lot of stinky diapers!" Oliver said seriously.

Regina and Emma both chuckled and then Emma spoke. "I know it's a lot to take in and any feelings you have are yours to have and no one can say they're wrong. I just ask that you take some time to think about it and come to us if you have questions."

"In the meantime, we need to remodel the house to fit these new members of our family. Because your Auntie Zee and Mal have magic, and we can still use ours for a bit, we can pretty much have any kind of house we want. Any ideas?"

"Since I'm almost sixteen, can I please have either a cool attic room or a basement room? I've never given you any reason not to trust me." Henry stated honestly.

"I don't see why not. Go draw up something you'd like after this meeting."

"We want a castle!" Ry stated while Eva nodded excitedly.

"Yeah! I want a room in a tower, Mama, with a balcony and a spiral staircase that goes up to another room that we can use for studying and hanging out." Eva said, looking at Ry. "I mean, if you still want to share a room."

"Yes! I still wanna share a room."

"Mommy, I want a castle too." Oliver said. "And I want a pirate ship bed."

"I mean, I wouldn't mind a dungeon room." Henry said. "Or one that has two floors like the girls' room."

Regina smiled over to Emma. "Looks like you're getting your castle, darling." She then looked at the kids. "Okay, I want you all to go draw or write what you want in your rooms. Girls, you don't have to have the same things but if you could agree on at least the basics like the colors and things, that would be nice. Also, by next Saturday, I'd like you all to have gone through your things and bag up anything you don't want any longer. Toys and clothes. We haven't done that for a while."

"Okay mom." They stated and they all went off excitedly talking about what they were going to have in their rooms.

Regina wrapped her arms around Emma and smiled. "Four more swanlettes." She sighed happily. "And a castle for us all to live in. We're crazy. You know that?"

Emma chuckled. "We are nuts, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
