A/N: Turns out I had enough energy in me to write out this short and sweet ending tonight. Also, in the last chapter I called Geppetto by his cursed, Storybrooke name and realized it when working on this chapter. I corrected it the last chapter and have it written as Geppetto in this one as well so if you read it before it was corrected, know that Marco and Geppetto are the same person and in this story and because it's the Enchanted Forest his name is really Geppetto.


Bathed in the beautiful sunlight of a fresh day, Emma looked stunning. She was absolutely breathtaking as her blonde curls swayed in the summer breeze and her fingers skimmed the tips of the tallest blades of grass as she gathered morning dew on her hand. Her smile lit up Regina's entire world. It was vibrant and infectious and the way Emma looked right then, Regina understood how the younger woman felt about the start of a good day. She wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of life waking up every morning to catch the sunrise with her beloved while she watched Emma bask in the heavenly sight of nature.

Regina reclined on a lounge chair placed on the patio a short but good distance from the concrete stairs that led to the back entrance of the palace. The backyard extended out to the beach, but to ensure the royal family's safety there was a large gate that separated the yard from the shore to deter intruders and if anyone wanted to walk along the beach they were escorted by at least one guard. It was a tranquil environment on an equally tranquil morning and Regina was relaxed and blissful. She was more than content to waste away the day with her eyes focused on Emma, always on Emma, but she personally wouldn't call that a waste.

She continued to watch as Emma walked barefoot through the grass and smiled at the flowers in bloom and anything dew-covered she managed to get her hands on. Emma had always seemed happy and carefree, but Regina saw the change. She was happier and more carefree that ever before and she glowed. She had a handful of bad days when she doubted herself, her looks, and how rich their lives actually were because inside she felt awful, but no matter what she knew that Emma wouldn't trade what she had for anything in any world. And neither would Regina.

"Would you like a drink, mija," Henry asked as he came up to Regina's side with a silver platter with three glasses of assorted drinks.

Regina turned and smiled at him as she reached for a glass.

"Thank you, Daddy."

Henry smiled back at her and set the tray aside on the small table beside the plush lounge chair.

"Emma, darling, care for a drink," Henry called to the blonde across the yard.

Emma turned to Henry and Regina and beamed. Her only response was to walk over to them and abandon her usual morning entertainment. When her feet left the soft grass and stepped onto the patio concrete, much closer to Regina and Henry then she'd been since she and Regina had gone outside, she raised a hand to her stomach and rubbed soothing circles over the well-rounded bump that protruded between her hips and breasts.

"How are you feeling today, my love," Regina asked and sat up in her chair before she threw her legs over either side of it. She patted the cushion that covered the chair in the space between her legs and Emma settled between her legs.

"Wonderful," Emma said as she leaned back against her wife of almost two years.

Regina smiled and brushed a few strands of Emma's hair out of her face. Emma closed her eyes and sighed as she further melted into Regina.

"I'm glad," Regina said before she planted a kiss on Emma's head then rested her head against the back of the chair.

"And my grandson," Henry smiled and leaned over. He placed a hand on Emma's stomach and the blonde chuckled.

"He's just waking up it seems," Emma replied and took Henry's hand in both of hers then slid them across her stomach to where the boy kicked against her.

"He's kicking?" Regina's voice with excitement in love when she leaned forward and tried to feel for herself.

Emma let go of one of Henry's hands to take Regina's and placed the brunette's hand right beside her father's so they both could feel the little one.

Regina beamed and rested her chin on Emma's shoulder.

"He's a strong and feisty one, isn't he," Henry noted with a hint of laughter.

"Definitely very active," Emma stated then turned her head and waited for Regina to move back a little bit. When Regina lifted her chin from the blonde's shoulder and pulled away to look at Emma, the younger woman smiled and pecked her on the lips.

Regina immediately smiled when Emma's lips touched hers and continued to smile even after they parted.

Cora had been banished to Wonderland as her punishment for crimes against the King and Queen. She'd been taken through the portal by the only known realm jumper in the Enchanted Forest named Jefferson. Cora wasn't exactly forbidden to return, but it was implied that Snow and Charming never wanted to see her again. Regina, on the hand, wanted her mother to return if she ever had the courage to put her heart back in her chest and even said as much to Cora before they parted ways. She wasn't optimistic that anything would change or that Cora would ever come back for any reason, but she continued to have hope that maybe someday her mother would prove her wrong.

A week before Cora had been sent off to Wonderland—on the same day Emma and Regina had officially become engaged, after Cora's attack—Emma asked the Blue Fairy to heal Regina's father then asked her parents if he could stay with all of them. Both requests were granted and Regina practically swooned at how incredible the other woman truly was. She had never underestimated Emma's charm and chivalry, but it always amazed her to know that there was someone out there that had so much of it and Regina was lucky enough to have found her.

A month after Cora had left the palace, Emma and Regina had a huge ceremony with most of the kingdom in attendance. Their guest of honor, however, was Regina's fully healed and extremely teary-eyed and jovial father. Charming had walked Emma down the aisle first and a few moments later, Henry walked Regina down the aisle to meet her spectacular bride. They were one of the first same-sex couples in the Enchanted Forest. While same-sex marriage wasn't unheard of there, it was still rare to see. It usually only happened if it was True Love or if both families had a lot to gain from the pairing. There was no way for either Emma or Regina to tell if what they had was the magical True Love Emma's parents had, but it felt real and true to both of them regardless of whether or not fate or destiny had designed it that way.

Seven months ago, when they conceived their son with a little magical aid from the Blue Fairy—but mostly just from themselves and the love they felt for each other—they knew whatever they had, it was powerful. They loved each other enough to make a child out of magic Emma didn't know she had and a sip or two from a potion that was only supposed to make the body more susceptible to magical conception.

When they told their both of their parents the good news, Snow White had offered a pendant she'd been given when she found out she was pregnant with Emma. It could tell if the baby was either a boy or a girl and for one day every other week during Emma's first three months of pregnancy, they continued to use the pendant to ensure it always had the same outcome. Emma held the pendant by the chain and both women waited with baited breath for it swing either back and forth or side to side. They stood outside when it rained and when it was sunniest, when it was cloudiest and when it was windiest. They stood outside when it was hot and when it was bone-chilling cold. No matter where they stood, they always faced north and each time produced the same result. It was a boy.

In the sixth month, on one of Emma's not so happy days, Regina cheered her up by taking her to the cabin and presenting her with stuffed animals and all kinds of other toys for the baby provided by the White's family friend Geppetto. While they were there, Regina lured Emma outside—because she refused to leave the cabin and barely managed to make it out of the palace to get there in the first place—with the small comfort of checking to see that they were still having a boy. They waited as Emma held up the pendant and sure enough it swung the same way it always had. They were having a son and just to prove he loved being thought about, he danced around inside Emma as soon as both women smiled in response to the familiar and expected results.

"Aren't you glad I didn't give up on finding a solution to our issue of potentially not being able to bear any heirs," Emma grinned as Regina's hand slid off of her stomach and the two rested together on the lounge chair.

"So very, very glad, my love," Regina said and swept blonde hair off of Emma's shoulder before she placed a kiss on lightly freckled skin.

"I told you there was a way for you have what you desired," Emma added.

"Mm, you would have been enough. But now we're having a child, our little prince, and no words can describe how elated I feel about that," Regina replied.

"Well then, maybe you should carry the next one."

Regina's eyebrows shot into her hairline.

"The next one? Shouldn't we focus on this child first?"

Emma laughed and grabbed one of Regina's hands. She brought it to her lips and kissed her open palm and then her wrist, above her pulse.

"We will, but wouldn't it be nice if little Henry had a brother or sister to play with?"

Regina thought about it while Emma continued to kiss the pulse point on her wrist, and not so innocently the longer it took Regina to answer her. "I suppose that would be nice."

Emma grinned and turned more toward Regina before she leaned in and kissed her wife on the lips.

"We can wait until he's about three. Maybe teach him a word or two in Spanish and then we can have another one to love and watch run around the garden and at the cabin," Emma added.

"And who's going to teach him Spanish," Regina rhetorically asked with an amused look on her face. "You only know one sentence in Spanish so I don't think there's a 'we' in teaching him unless by 'we' you meant my father and me."

"You didn't let me finish," Emma smiled. "Maybe teach him a word or two in Spanish and I'll learn with him. And I'll learn with him, mi amor."

Henry burst into laughter beside them and Emma and Regina looked at him with bright smiles before they laughed with him.

"Te amo, mis queridas," Henry said.

"Te amo," both of them repeated in sync.

"Emma," Charming called as he made his way down the stairs and onto the patio. "Your breakfast is ready. Will you be having it inside or out here?"

"Could you have someone bring it out here, please?"

Charming smiled and nodded.

"I'll bring you a plate, too, Regina," Charming said. "Want anything, Henry?"

"Oh, I'll come with you," Henry made his way toward Charming. "I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind a moment alone."

Charming clapped a hand against Henry's back as the other man walked into step beside him and the two of them headed up the stairs and back into the palace together.

Emma wiggled around between Regina's legs and resituated herself so her back rested against Regina's front and her head was on Regina's shoulder.

Regina wrapped her arms around Emma and placed her hands on her belly. Emma rested her hands on top of Regina's and closed her eyes as the sunlight washed over the backyard and the breeze gently rustled the leaves on the lush trees all around them. After a moment, Emma opened her eyes again and looked down at her stomach.

"Te amo, Little Prince," Emma quietly told him.

Regina smiled against Emma's cheek then gave it a peck.

"Te queremos," Regina corrected, and Emma lifted a hand from her stomach to lace her fingers with Regina. "We love you, Henry."


Note: I know there are plenty of people who don't really like magical pregnancies, but I thought it fit this story, especially when I mentioned it in a previous chapter that the two of them having a baby might not be as far-fetched as most people in the Enchanted Forest might think.

Thank you all so much for reading and for all of your much appreciated feedback.
