Hi everyone, I'm so sorry for taking so long to update. The truth is I bought a new house and have been doing a lot of renovations, so between that and work there really is not much time left to do anything else. Hope you enjoy the chapter and Merry Christmas everyone ;)

Chapter 41

"Oh my god, she is so beautiful." Snow whispered as David held their sleeping granddaughter.

"She looks like a little angel." He whispered back as he kissed the baby's forehead.

"How long will mom be asleep?" Henry asked his blonde mother that was sitting with him on the couch looking lovingly at his other mom.

"She will wake up soon kid, don't worry, she's just tired, giving birth isn't easy buddy." She smirked at him and he punched her in the arm.

"Ma, when can we all go home?"

"Probably tomorrow kid, why?"

"Nothing… Well we still don't know where Jefferson is and Michael is cursed and…"

Interrupting him Emma took his face in between her hands and looked him in the eyes "Hey don't worry, we will do everything we can to keep you and your sister safe I promise."

"I know and I fear that we will lose one or both of you in this stupid fight, we need both our moms not one or the other." The tears were now streaming down his face "Jefferson is doing all this because Grace doesn't want to be with him, she's happy with her new family, it's not fair Ma…"

"Come here." She pulls him into her lap and they hold tight to one another.

When Purple enters the room and sees Henry crying on Emma's lap her heart breaks but a look from the Charming's tells her not to say anything so she simply makes her way to the chair that is closer to Regina's bed and as she seats she takes her hand in between her own, she was so happy for her little girl.

After a few minutes Henry had fallen asleep and Regina finally opened her eyes, looking around the room she saw all the people that she loved, her family and she smiled. Squeezing the hands that were holding her hand she gained Purple's attention.

"Look who's awake." The fairy said smiling.

Smiling back she cleared throat and all the adults looked at her "Purple will you do me the honor of becoming Aileen's fairy godmother?"

Purple raised and kissed Regina's forehead, a tear falling down her cheek, she was so happy "Of course my little princess, it would be an honor."

"David, can you give Aileen to Purple please?" He nodded and walked to them transferring the baby to the fairy's arms.

Emma had awoken Henry so he could see whatever it was that Purple was going to do to his little sister, they were all attentively looking at the fairy.

"Aileen, I Purple as your fairy godmother vow to protect you from all evil in this world, I bestow upon you the gift of beauty and wisdom and above all I pledge to always zeal for your happiness." Lifting her hand, for the first time she made her wand appear, she swirled it in circles above the two of them and a beautiful rain of stars started falling around them "Nothing on this realm or any other will be able to break this bond." She kissed Aileen's forehead and looked lovingly at Regina.

"Thank you Purple." She then looked at Emma and Henry and motioned for them to get closer. Henry sat beside her on the bed and Emma leaned her forehead against the brunette's "I love you all."

As they heard a knock at the door they all looked in its direction and in walked Ruby "Hey everyone just came to see how the new mom and the baby are."

Regina smiled at her and answered "New mom isn't the right term but we are both doing really well. Can I ask you a favor?"

"Yeah, sure. What do you need?"

"Can you take our family picture?"

"Of course. Emma give me your phone." As the blonde gave her the phone, Purple placed Aileen in Regina's arms and sat beside her, Henry got even closer to his mom and baby sister and she sat sideways hugging Regina and laying her head on the brunette's shoulder.

"Are you ready?" Ruby asked.

Regina looked at Snow and David and asked them "What the hell are you two still doing there? Get over here." Somehow she managed not to sound annoyed, she thought that by now they knew they were her family too.

Snow smiled brightly and they both got in position "Ready? Say cheese…" and she took a couple of photos "All done. Now can I hold that bundle of joy?" she asked hopefully.

"Come here." Regina told her.

Taking the little girl in her arms Ruby smiled "You two did a really good job with this one." Using Emma's phone one more time she took a photo of her and the baby and threw the phone to its owner "You better send me that photo Swan."

Emma shook her head and laughed "Sure thing Rubes."

They were talking when the nurse walked in to check on them and as it was almost 10pm she advised them that mother and baby needed to rest, the family said their goodbyes and the only ones that stayed behind were Emma and Henry that had insisted to stay. Aileen was soundly sleeping on the bassinet and Emma turned the couch into a makeshift bed for Henry that quickly was sound asleep too.

Emma was preparing to sit on the chair besides the bed when Regina motioned for her to lay down by her side on the bed. Once they were fit together with the brunette's head tucked under Emma's neck the blonde whispered "I love you."

Hearing the words Regina kissed Emma's chest "I love you too." And soon after they were both deeply asleep.

The couple had woken up three times during the night so Regina could breastfeed Aileen, so when the nurse walked in with breakfast they were still sleeping so Henry took the tray and thanked the woman that informed him that Dr. Whale would be stopping by in an hour. Henry woke Emma first that helped him prepare everything so Regina could eat something, when they were done she asked him to go grab a coffee for her from the machine while she woke his mom.

After they had breakfast the family of four was all sitting on the hospital bed, Regina holding their baby girl, Henry sitting by his mom's left side, head on top of her shoulder gazing at his sister while Emma sat on the brunette's right side, her left arm over Regina's shoulders while sporting a radiating smile on her face.

Seeing all that happiness, Dr Whale used his phone and captured the moment, after all it wasn't every day that someone could see and feel all that joy and bliss in the air.
