Part Two: The One With The Hole

"Momma, Momma, wake up"

Emma felt something on top of her shaking her from her peaceful sleep. She grunted and rolled to the side, automatically pulling her wife's body to her. Her arms, however, were met with something much thinner and a lot smaller than her wife. Emma slowly popped one eye open while the other was been forced by tiny hands.

"Kids" Emma whined "It's too early," She said and pulled Sam to her arms.

"It's Sunday," Olie said on top of her "We have beakfast at Granny's on Sundays"

"Momma, you are squeezing me" Sam complained.

"Good," Emma said and dropped a few kisses on his chubby cheeks "Where is your mother?"

"She's right here," Regina said leaving the bathroom.

"Hi, babe" Emma smiled at her "Kiss me good morning?"

"Me too," Olie said.

"And me," Sam said.

Regina smiled at them, one of those warm smiles that were exactly the reason why Emma fell in love with Regina all those years ago, and sat down on the bed, kissing Emma on the lips first, then Sam, who was been squished in Emma's arms and then Olie, when she lifted the little girl from Emma's body and sat her on her lap.

"Mommy, it's Sunday," Olie said looking at Regina.

"I know, sweetheart" Regina smiled "Is Henry still sleeping?"

"No, we got to him first," Olie said seriously "Just like Momma taught us"

"You taught them that?" Henry said by the door and walked to the bed flopping on top of it.

"Emma!" Regina scolded her.

"Look at him, Regina, he's dead," Emma said "Of course I told them to wake Henry first"

"Please, you just want to stay in bed longer," Henry said.

"That too," Emma laughed.

"Momma, I want to wear my jacket," Sam said.

"Me too. And a bear claw" Olie said.

"Oh, I want that too," Emma said.

"I want pancakes," Sam said.

"I could kill for waffles" Henry second.

"Could any of you please have a fruit salad with the sugar?" Regina asked.

"NO!" The four of them said at the same time.

"Fine!" Regina rolled her eyes "Emma since you are the jacket expert in this house, will you please help them change?"

"Oh, yeah" Emma smiled and rose from bed "Prepare to get all mushy when you see them"

"Enwy, are you wearing a jacket too?" Sam asked.

"Not today, kid" Henry answered.

"Mommy?" Olie looked up at Regina.

"I'll pair with Henry" Regina answered.

"You two are no fun," Emma said seriously.

Regina and Henry laughed while Emma and the twins left the bedroom. She walked to the end of the hallway where their bedroom was and smiled when she saw their outfit already laid on top of their beds. Emma sat down on the floor and helped them get change. She almost melted on the spot at the sight of Olie in a red leather jacket with, white bouse jeans and boots. Sam was the same but with shorter boots and a black leather jacket.

"Okay, monkeys," Emma said "Go downstairs. Mommy and I will be down soon"

"You are not going to be kissing, are you?" Olie asked.

"Sorry?"

"When you and Mommy are kissing, we take fouever to go," Sam said.

"We won't take long, I promise," Emma said feeling her cheeks burn "Now go downstairs"

The three of them left the room together and Emma waited until they were safe downstairs before walking to her bedroom. When she stepped in, Emma saw Regina sat on the edge of the bed pulling up her black pantyhose and Emma felt every bone of her body screamed for her to kneel down in front of her wife and slowly roll the pantyhose down her legs.

"Maybe later," Regina winked at her.

"How did you…"

"Please," Regina smirked "We've been married for three years now. I know that look"

"Can we just freeze time for a couple of hours?" Emma asked walking closer to her "Pleeeeaasseee"

"I don't know how to do that without a curse" Regina laughed.

"Damn it," Emma cursed and kissed Regina "Wait until I'm ready before going downstairs, okay?"

"Why?" Regina asked "I'm nearly done"

"I want you to see the three of us together by the end of the stairs"

"And why do you want that?" Regina arched an eyebrow.

"Because," Emma smiled and kissed Regina again "I want to see the look on your face when you see us"

"They look absolutely adorable, don't they?" Regina asked with a huge smile on her face.

"They do" Emma smiled "You stay here, okay?"

"I will"

Emma walked inside the closet and quickly changed out of her oversize shirt into a pair of skinny jeans, a white tank top, her beloved red leather jacket, and boots. She used magic to style her hair into curls just the way Regina liked. Just the way they were when she first laid eyes on Regina. God, was that only four years ago? It felt like a lifetime already and not nearly enough at the same time. She walked out of the closet and made a pose for Regina who smiled brightly when she saw her. Emma smiled back and saw the same emotions she was feeling inside running through Regina's eyes.

"You look as beautiful now as you did then," Regina smiled softly at her.

"You look more beautiful to me every time I open my eyes," Emma said back.

"I love you," Regina said simply.

"I love you too," Emma said back and then smirked "And you say it wasn't the jacket"

"It wasn't," Regina said and walked to her wife "It was your ass in that jeans" She whispered in Emma's ear.

Regina winked as Emma's mouth fell open. She looked at Regina who just kept on looking at her with a smug smile on her face. Emma held her closer in her arms and kissed her. Just to get the smug smile out, she lied to herself.

"We have to go to Granny's," Regina said.

"Yeah, we do," Emma said not letting go of her.

"Emma, you have to let go of me,"

"Never"

Regina smiled and pecked her lips before gently letting go of Emma's arms. Emma pulled Regina to her one last time and kissed her before walking out of the bedroom, instructing her wife not to come down until she heard her saying she could. Emma walked down the stairs and found the twins in the living room watching a cartoon.

"You and Mommy were kissing!" Olie protest.

"Yes, we were," Emma smiled "Come on. Let's wait for mommy down the stairs"

The twins rose from the couch and walked in front of Emma. They stopped on the base of the stairs, the three of them, with Emma behind. Emma bent down and whispered between their ears to call their mother.

"Mommy you can come down now," They said at the same time.

Emma eagerly looked up the stairs waiting for Regina to appear and when she did, the look on her face was priceless, as she knew it would be. Regina looked down at them so lovingly, that Emma felt like her heart was going to explode with love. Regina's features were soft and warm and the smile on her face just wouldn't go away. God, how Emma loved that smile. How Emma loved her.

"My goodness, look at the three of you," Regina said when she reached them.

"Mommy, do we look cute?" Sam asked.

"The cutest" Regina said bending down to kiss him.

"And badass?" Olie asked "Like Momma"

"And badass like momma," Regina said back kissing her little girl.

"Can we go now?" Sam asked "I'm hungie"

"Hungry" Regina corrected him "Where is Henry?"

"Still changing I think," Emma said "Hey kid! Come down!" Emma shouted.

"I'll be right down" Henry shouted back.

"I hate when you two do that," Regina frowned.

"You forbade us from calling each other" Emma said pointing at her.

"In the house," Regina said "You don't need to call our son from the kitchen to tell him to come down from his bedroom because dinner is ready"

"The house is huge," Emma said and took the phone from her back pocket "Oh crap!"

"Momma said a bad word," Sam said making a face.

"She did not," Emma tried to get away with it "She said… drap!"

"You said crap," Olie laughed.

"Okay, Olie, that's enough," Regina said and looked at Emma "And you, watch your language"

"Sorry," Emma said sheepishly "My phone is dead"

"Leave it at the house," Regina said.

"I can't. Dad is alone at the station today" Emma said and then shouted "Hey kid, grab my charger on your way down, please"

"Where is it?" Henry shouted back.

"Check the bedside table," Emma screamed.

"I give up," Regina said throwing her hands in the air.

Regina walked to the door and opened it, hurrying the twins outside with her. Emma waited for Henry by the stairs, screaming back and forth about where Henry should look for the charger next. She nearly jumped when he screamed 'got it'. He hurried down the stairs and gave Emma the phone charger that she tucked inside her jacket pocket where her phone was. They walked outside the house where they found Regina taking several pictures of their little ones in the garden.

"Send me those" Emma said when she stood next to her.

"I will," Regina said, "You two ready?"

"Yep! All good" Emma answered.

Emma held Regina's hand while Henry held the twin's little hands walking in front of them. Regina smiled and then took her phone from her pocket, letting go of Emma's hand to take one more picture. They arrived at Granny's and sat down on the first booth by the window while Emma asked Granny for the little cushion for the twins. Henry, Olie, and Sam sat down across from Regina and Emma nearly laughed when she sat down next to her wife and could only see her smallest kid's eyes.

"Here you go," Granny said "Two cushions for the little ones"

"Thanks, Granny," They both said at the same time.

Emma smiled and rose from her seat to help the kids out. Granny took their order with Regina complaining about how unhealthy everything was but not been able to deny it because it was Sunday and they all had their portion of greens during the whole week.

Granny arrived with their sugary banquet and they all ate while chatting and laughing. Emma particularly enjoyed seen Regina sinking a content or two off her plate while she pretended she wasn't looking. But she was. And she always smiled when a piece of bacon went missing, which was exactly the reason why she always ordered a large portion. When they finished, Emma paid the bill and they all left the diner, for their usual Sunday walks out in the woods.

"Mom?" Henry said looking at Regina "Remember we have to do that thing?"

"What thing?" Emma asked.

"I just need to borrow mom for a while, Ma," Henry said.

"Why are you two so mysterious?" Emma asked.

"It's nothing," Regina said "Why don't you take the kids out for their walk? I meet you guys later"

"Regina, you are my wife," Emma said serious "That means no secrets"

"It's not my secret" Regina smirked.

"Kid?" Emma asked looking at Henry.

"I just need mom for a while, okay?" Henry said.

"Fine!" Emma said and kissed Regina, whispering in her ear "You'll tell me later, right?"

"I can hear you, Ma" Henry rolled his eyes.

"Good"

Regina bent down and kissed (and hugged and kissed again and hugged again) Olie and Sam before turning around to leave with Henry. Emma took the twin's hands, one on each side, and started to walk in the direction of the playground Regina had built Henry when he was ten. They were stopped by a few folks on their way there. They all praised them on their look. Olie even posed once and said 'No pictures'. Emma had no idea where she got that from but made a mental note to check on what they were watching.

They arrived at the playground and the twins stormed off to play while Emma sat down on the bench to watch them. She took her phone from her jacket pocket and rolled her eyes when she realized she forgot to put it to charge when they were at Granny's. Emma sighed and put the device back inside her pocket. She looked at her children playing with each other (Since there was no one else on the playground in that cold) and rose from the bench she was sat on to play with them. They particularly liked having her on her back on the very, very cold grass. But Emma didn't mind that. Not at all. Not when her children were laughing out loud being the happy kids they were.

"Well, well, well," A voice said behind them "Look at you, Swan"

Emma felt every hair on the back of her neck stood up. Her features hardened on the spot and she quickly rose from the floor, putting herself in front of her children.

"Neal," Emma said coldly.

"I never thought I'd see you with kids. It doesn't suit you" Neal said "Who are the pests?"

"Watch your mouth," Emma said angrily.

"Momma?" Olie asked looking up at Emma.

"Momma?" Neal asked, "Who's the lucky bastard?"

"What are you doing here, Neal?" Emma asked, "Didn't we kicked you out?"

"Yeah, but Pappa found a way to let me back in," Neal said "I came back for you, Ems. For us"

"Jesus Christ" Emma sighed "There is no us, Neal"

"Of course, there is, Ems," Neal said "You, me, and Henry we can be a family"

"Momma I don't like him," Sam said next to her.

"We should call Mommy," Olie said right after.

"Mommy?" Neal asked confused "Oh, hell no! These are Regina kids?"

"Our" Emma said "Our kids! Just like Henry is our kid"

"I don't remember her there when we were making him," Neal said.

Emma felt her whole blood ran cold inside her veins. Fucking asshole! How dare he say something like that in front of her children? Emma closed her hands into a fist. If it wasn't for Olie and Sam behind her she would definitely punch him in the face.

"Are you sure they are yours?" Neal laughed "Last I check you didn't have the right equipment! Or was it you she knocked up? With that deep voice, I always had my suspicious"

Emma stretched her arm and used her magic to make Neal fly before landing on the ground. Sam screamed behind her but Olie laughed and said that was cool. Emma bent down in front of them and kissed Sam, telling him everything was okay and that Momma was going to take them home now. They nodded but then Emma heard them screaming again and when she looked back, Neal was already behind her. He grabbed her jacket and throw her on the floor, away from her children.

"Can't you see what she's done?" Neal screamed "She used magic on you, Emma. It's a love potion. We can fix this. I can fix this"

"Momma, I'm scared," Olie screamed.

"It's okay, baby," Emma said trying to sound calm.

Emma was going to kill that fucking bastard for this. She stood up from the floor and was about to use her magic to end that for good when suddenly purple smoke appeared in the air. One second the air was purple, on the next Regina and Henry appear in front of the twins.

"Emma?" Regina said as soon as the purple cleared and then she saw him "Neal!"

"Look at that" Neal said "The Evil Queen"

"Say that again and I'll rip your tongue out," Emma said angrily.

"Dad! What are you doing?" Henry asked.

"I came to get your mom back," Neal said "Both of you"

"Dad, please," Henry said "Stop this"

"It's her fault," Neal said looking at Regina "She enchanted you. Both of you"

"Shut up," Emma said angrily.

"Once the Evil Queen, always The Evil Queen" Neal said with venom.

"Henry, honey" Regina calmly said looking at Henry "I'm going to magic you and your bothers back to the mansion"

"Mom, I'm not leaving you," Henry said.

"Henry, do as your mother says," Emma said "Get Olie and Sammy home. We'll be right there"

"Olie and Sammy?" Neal laughed "What kind of ridiculous names are those? Can't you see, Emma? She poisoned you!"

"Get it through your head, your asshole, once for all" Emma said "I LOVE HER. I love Regina"

"Well, if I can't have you," Neal said and reached for something inside his pocket "She can't have you either"

Then everything happened too fast. Neal threw a bean on the ground in Emma's direction. A portal opened on the ground and started to suck everything around inside with force. She heard Regina screaming her name and their kids crying and then something started to push her inside the hole. Emma fell onto the portal and saw Regina's desperate face next to Henry before everything turned black.
