Chapter Seventeen
"Just fuck," Regina whispered as someone rang the doorbell. She looked around Hannah and Mia's room and found the clock on the wall. It was just after eight, she'd just gotten Favorite Charming back to bed, maybe an hour ago alongside Maleficent and Magnus. They had all tried to take it in turns, but Magnus would wake up every time the baby did and get upset that any one of his mothers' was giving him attention.
"Regi, you said a bad word," Hannah yawned.
"I did, I'm going to have to give myself a time out later I think," Regina said already thinking she'd use it to nap. Hannah rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked shocked that was even possible. They climbed out of bed and Regina sent Hannah to the bathroom. No surprise Magnus was in her arms immediately as she went down the stairs. Favorite Charming was up, but Maleficent or Emma went after him. She kissed Magnus's head after smoothing down the hair that was starting to form gorgeous blond ringlets. The ringlets were definitely her genes kicking in. She opened the door and came face to face with Ms. Wallis.
"Hi, time for our monthly visit," Ms. Wallis greeted.
"Hi, I'm sorry to greet you in a state of undress it's been a long two nights," Regina stated.
"Oh, what happened?" Ms. Wallis asked she came in and headed for her usual spot in the living room, and of course noted the blood stain on the couch. The house was not as cleans as she would have liked at least this room and definitely not the upstairs.
"My cousin in law gave birth, and she's a first-time mother, she came over during the early stages of her labor, in fear," Regina said. "Hence the stains, and my need for a new couch." Ms. Wallis chuckled. "Anyway, we were all up all night unfortunately, but she's had a healthy baby boy who's upstairs while his mother is still in the hospital. She bled a lot and well as a family we just didn't want him laying around without love in the hospital." Ms. Wallis nodded.
"Please follow me into the kitchen and we can talk, the children won't be sleeping much longer for sure. I'm keeping them home to get some rest today." Ms. Wallis nodded. They made their way into the kitchen where she watched Regina put together a healthy breakfast with a baby on her hip. They talked about the girls and the progress. Soon the girls came down, Mia communicated a little in English pleasing Ms. Wallis and Hannah showed off her Spanish. They talked about their respective schools and the shopping trip from two days ago and cutting down the tree. Hannah was eager to show her the few pieces of clothing she could keep before Christmas and a reminder that it was a special shopping trip for Maleficent.
"Regi said I gots to wait for Christmas cause it's unusable to gets so much when Santa is already bringing so much. But I looked so cute."
"Oh, I think Ms. Mills is right it is unusual to get so many nice new things when things are coming at Christmas from Santa. She's right to keep it or else you might forget your deal with Santa to be good and not naughty."
"I've been good," Hannah insisted. "Look I made my bed without Regi asking." She pointed to the sloppily made bed, but it only made Regina smile at her fondly. They turned and walked out of the room, Emma was feeding her brother a bottle in the nursery which now looked normal to Ms. Wallis, Henry was also awake and sleepily making his own bed, and Maleficent was in their room making the bed as well. Ms. Wallis paused at their door and looked back around at all the open doors. She turned to Regina.
"May I speak with you and all the adults privately?" She asked. Regina nodded. Maleficent who was coming to the door nodded as well.
"Sure, as soon as all the children are settled, Emma when you are done can you join us in the study?"
"Yep, we're almost done, he's only taking an ounce and a half right now," Emma said. They went back downstairs, and Ms. Wallis had her private conversations with both Mia and Hannah while they waited for Emma to finish up and got breakfast on the table. Henry came down and Maleficent nursed Magnus to his horror.
"Don't be like that it's our morning feed, we can't let you nurse while the non-magical person is here. She decides if your sisters stay here," Maleficent explained to him. He nursed from her and was thankfully burped before Ms. Wallis came out with the girls and Emma came down with her brother.
"You guys start eating, we'll be right back," Regina told them as she kissed heads. They dung into their scrambled eggs with mushrooms and spinach as well as their toast and sausage. "And Hannah I will know if any of those veggies from your eggs make it into Hank's mouth." Hannah gave her a big smile.
"Regi, it's Christmas, I wouldn't," Hannah replied. Regina smiled back at her even as Hank took his usual place under the table ready to snap up any morsels that the children dropped and drop, they did.
"Uh huh," She said. The adults left taking with them the babies since neither of them were ready for table food. Although they were waiting for Magnus to cut his first canines an indication for a Dragon baby that they could handle meat, but Regina was sure he'd cut two incisors out first because of her DNA.
"So, let me just start by saying I am concerned," Ms. Wallis said as she held onto her cup of coffee although Regina thought she had put so much milk inside of it, it was no longer coffee.
"Oh, are we spoiling them too much?" Maleficient asked. "I mean we're pretty set on this being their forever home, but I suppose before you've given final say I went overboard. I mean she is so cute though hard to say no when she asks."
"I mean we could tone it back and save some stuff for adoption day," Regina suggested. Emma nodded as well as she rubbed her brother's back. He was tucked in a sling and Magnus was content now in Regina's lap again as he sucked on a toy.
"No, that's a good thing, those kids deserved to be spoiled a little," Ms. Wallis said.
"Then what's the problem?" Regina asked getting serious.
"You three, when I was upstairs, I realized that there is a lack of a second adult room in this house."
"Oh," They said.
"Now I asked Mia and Hannah where you three sleep and they said in your room, not rooms. I also asked if they slept in bed with you. Hannah said you always take her back to her room. And Mia looked unsure, so Hannah answered for her and said the same thing. Are you sleeping with all three of you in the same bed with either of the girls?"
"Definitely not, we wouldn't fit," Maleficent told her seriously. "I don't know if you're aware of how Mia sleeps, but I'm pretty sure Hannah will take the top bunk soon or kick her out." They all nodded at that assessment.
"Are you bed sharing with the children?" Ms. Wallis asked.
"I have fallen asleep next to Hannah in her bed, and it's not uncommon that Mia steals my spot in my bed because Emma's a heater and she likes the warmth," Regina admitted. "Actually, any time I leave my bed, that girl is in my spot. I just went for water, one night came back and there she was. It's like she's got an alarm on me." Emma and Maleficent nodded. Ms. Wallis frowned.
"This is prohibited the girls must stay in their rooms," Ms. Wallis told them. Regina, Emma, and Maleficent nodded. "Now where do you sleep, Maleficent, I've been all over this house and can't imagine where you sleep, I know where your son sleeps."
"We have a pull out single under our bed. We share a bedroom, but that's it," Regina lied. "When the baby came, we wanted him to have a nursery, and then when you approved our application well, we knew you would reject it if we couldn't give them their own room separate from Henry. So, we decided on this compromise. It's been working for us until we can expand the house. We just simply hadn't started yet because it was more important to get the girls settled and into routine and happy without all the disfunction and stress adding onto a house could bring."
"Show me," She said. They went upstairs and Regina was able to magically pull out a sliding single bed that just fit. Ms. Wallis nodded and to convince her more, Regina showed her the attic where they would start and how it had already been cleared out except for the hidden Christmas presents, but would make a nice bedroom.
"All right, and you are definitely not in a three-way relationship that is sexual in nature."
"Definitely not," Regina said.
"No way," Emma said.
"One hundred percent not having sex with either of them," Maleficent replied.
"We're close but like sisters," Regina added. Ms. Wallis nodded.
"Start on the attic sooner rather than later ladies." They nodded.
"After Christmas though," Emma said. "I don't want people in and out and making a mess during Christmas everything needs to look perfect, it's their first."
"And no bed sharing with any of you." They nodded. "Thankfully Hannah was very adamant that she had not been hurt like the bad man and that her nightmares were not so scary now that she lives here."
"She's been better, so great about not wetting herself," Regina told her proudly as they went back downstairs.
"And this baby really belongs to someone else, because if you are acquiring other children…"
"No, the baby is family, but he is not staying," Emma said. "He's got his own home." The doorbell rang and Maleficent opened it to reveal David. David looked exhausted.
"How's Mary Margaret?" Emma asked.
"So much better, she woke up and asked me to bring the baby in for a bit, she wanted to see him."
"Of course, sit down and eat breakfast while we finish up with Ms. Wallis and get a diaper bag together for him." He nodded. David was feeling a lot of things, but he stayed cool in front of Ms. Wallis, he didn't want to hurt Emma at all by getting the girls taken away. He greeted all the children as if everything was fine and Hannah was smart enough to go with it even though she didn't like David. He sat next to Henry after Emma showed him how to put on the wrap and take the baby so he could cuddle him. The kids asked after Mary Margaret and he told them she was doing so much better. Ms. Wallis observed that the smiles were genuine from Hannah and Mia once Henry had explained in Spanish.
"All right well I won't take up much more of your time, everything else seems to be in order," Ms. Willis said as she indicated the adults to come to the door. Hannah ran over to Regina and pulled on her shirt a little.
"Mama," She said before glaring at Ms. Wallis to make a point and then innocently looking back up at Regina. "Can I call Grandma and tell her about the baby and shopping?"
"Sure sweetheart, you know the number?" Regina asked trying to contain her happiness at being called Mama by Hannah, even though it was to make a point, but a good point. One that said she'd found her forever home as far as she was concerned. Hannah nodded.
"Henry saves it for me in his phone."
"Okay and what do you say if you type a number wrong and grandma doesn't answer?" Regina asked.
"Sorry, I gots the wrong number and I hangs up," Hannah said.
"Good girl, all right go call your grandma." Hannah smiled and ran back to Henry asking for his help with dialing the right numbers. And loudly telling him he was the best brother ever. Magnus gave a loud protest.
"Sorry Magnus, I love you too!" Hannah yelled back. Magnus deemed this acceptable before he whimpered and reached in the direction of his siblings.
"Looks like he's ready to play, I'll take him," Maleficent said. She took Magnus towards the children. Mia had now joined them, and it had become a thing that all that children spoke to Hannah's grandmother to say hello before Hannah had her time. Regina and Emma walked Ms. Wallis to the door. She gathered on her coat and boots before looking at them.
"Look I don't care what you do with your private activities that don't involve the children outside this home. I do believe you when you say there is nothing extra going on between you and Ms. Maleficent, and I really do want this to work out most especially for Hannah as I have never seen her take to anyone so quickly or trust them. And from her sudden use of Mama, it's clear to me that she doesn't trust me to not take her away and not you to leave her. Which is the best possible result that she no longer doubts your wish to keep her." They smiled at that last bit. "I don't even really mind the bed sharing at places I know no ill conduct will occur, but it's the law and I want this to work out. Especially as both Hannah and Mia's case has been reassigned."
"Reassigned why would they do that in the middle of an adoption," Emma said frowning.
"My husband is ill, and I must go on medical leave, I'm sorry…"
"Stop apologizing we understand completely; we hope your husband gets well soon." Ms. Wallis smiled at them gratefully.
"Thank you, I'm sorry if I sounded harsh this visit, but I really truly had to make sure that the new social worker wouldn't find any problems simply because there are none. And I hope you don't mind if I come back one day in an unofficial capacity when things with my husband are better and you've completed the adoption."
"We'd love to have you; we'll make a nice lunch of things so please call us." She nodded.
"I already told Hannah and Mia that I won't be back, Hannah was upset we've known each other awhile, but she understands. Good luck and please as I said start on the renovations before the next home visit." They nodded.
"Do you know who will get our files?" Emma asked.
"No, I'm sorry, they're bringing up someone from Boston, I haven't met her, but she's thorough I hear." They nodded. They shook hands and wished each other best before she walked back to her car and drove home. Emma and Regina let out a breath. They packed a bag and milk for David before he left to go back to Mary Margaret, Regina giving him Magnus's car seat with a glare and a reminder it wasn't safe especially in snow.
"Girls, Henry you need to take Hank for his morning walk," Regina called.
"Gotta go Grandma, I has to walk Hank, I'll call you later kay, I got lots more to tell you." Hannah hung up after another minute before Regina ushered them all upstairs to dress warmly before they grabbed the leash and took out Hank. Henry also took Magnus in his sling as Magnus was not interested in being left behind.
"Sit eat, drink your tea," Emma ordered. Regina sat and served herself making sure to pick out the mushrooms and give them to Emma or Maleficent.
"Hannah would lose her shit if she saw you now," Emma laughed.
"Yes, well she's not, here is she?" Regina asked. Maleficent chuckled as well.
"I hope the new social worker isn't a bitch," Emma grumbled. "I hated switching workers you either get a great one like Ms. Wallis, a mean bitch out to get everyone, or an overworked one who just can't keep up. I'd rather have an overworked one, cause she'll pass everything for us, although not good for some other kids."
"I know what you mean," Regina said. "I'm sure it will be fine though. We need to talk about Christmas though."
"What about Christmas?" Maleficent asked.
"I don't know if you noticed but there seems to be a lot of things indicating a cat would be nice." They looked around and someone had put up a poster with a cat tree drawn on it along with a paper cat.
"No, no you don't say," Emma said. Regina and Maleficent chuckled.
"Are we okay with the cats?" Regina asked.
"Cats?" Emma asked.
"Yes, cats, those mice are killing my garden and I swear if one comes in, I'm burning the house down," Regina said. "And then I'm burning Sperm donor." Emma nodded.
"All right we can do that, I mean it's fine, as long as they're outdoor and I don't have to go get a litterbox," Emma said. Regina nodded.
"I expect with three cat loving children it will come inside, but with the doggy door, it shouldn't be an issue for the cat to go out again," Regina said. They nodded.
"I just have one request on this whole cat business, and hopefully Hank doesn't eat them."
"No, he's good we've been around Carol's house, she's got cats, he just licks them. He's really a gentle giant. I looked at his memories the other night to see if he had encountered cats because you can never be too sure. And it's so sad he used to have a loving home before someone stole him and Neal bought him to dog fight sometime before we found him in New York."
"Doesn't that mean we gotta return him?" Emma asked pouting.
"No, they stole him after the owner died and he was supposed to go to a shelter," Regina said. "We're fine." Emma looked relieved.
"That's why he's been good at his training exercises and not pulling as much anymore," Maleficent said. Regina nodded.
"Back to my one request, these three cats must, absolutely must look like the kittens from the Aristocats and be named after them, Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse. I will except nothing else plus the same collars from the movie."
"I think I can make that happen just for you dear," Regina replied giving her a kiss. Emma smiled at her. They were just finishing up their own breakfast when the girls came running in screaming and Henry was yelling for them outside. They didn't think twice as they ran out to see what was wrong. He was scared as Hank was growling and barking as he protected them from another large mastiff. Neal was grinning nearby as Regina indicated for Henry to go in. The dog of course was much larger than Hank and winning. Maleficent used magic to separate the two animals, wipe the bigger dog's memory of ever being a fighting dog and turn it into a puppy. Hank despite a large gash on his head turned his attention to a not so smug Neal now.
"How the hell did you get out of jail before your trial?" Emma asked him.
"Bail and then I got this amazing lawyer who got all the charges dropped in chambers, so no trial. I'm sure you'll hear from your lawyer shortly. Thanks to Dad, you were not informed."
"Stay away from our family," Emma growled as she got Hank and picked up the puppy not trusting him to do anything good with it.
"Bastard," Maleficent grumbled just as Regina sent him flying in the air at least three blocks away, but really, he went crashing through the pawn shop roof as a warning. They went back inside shivering now as they'd gone out with no shoes or outerwear.
"Hank okay?" Mia asked sobbing.
"Yes, he's going to be just fine, mi amor, we just have to take him to the vet now." Regina dressed herself with magic and Maleficent did the same.
"A little help here guys?" Emma asked. Regina waved her hand and she was dressed warmly as well. "What happened?" They looked at Henry.
"We were walking Hank when he showed up, so I told the girls to ignore him and turn home. When we got to the gate, he let the dog loose and told it to attack. Hank pulled away from me hard to protect us."
"You're a good boy Hank, I'm going to make you an extra special treat for protecting all my babies," Regina told him. They all went to the vet and the girls calmed down only when they saw Hank was fixed up and they could put princess stickers on his bandage and a bow. They had intended to leave the puppy, but all the children just about melted down concerned that the newly innocent pup would end up back in Neal's hands.
"Please Mommy," Henry begged hitting Regina in her feelings. Hannah seemed to catch on.
"Please Mama, I don't want him to gets killed again," Hannah begged as she turned wide eyes on Emma. Emma was just like crying.
"Mama peese," Mia said taking on Maleficent who just threw up her hands and crumbled like a paper napkin.
"How can I say no to my two little kittens?" Maleficent asked Mia and Hannah. They gave her a big smile. And they all pressed in on Regina as Emma was sobbing and saying of course they could keep him safe. Regina glared at both Emma and Maleficent giving them looks that said they were weak.
"Really you two are going to make me the Evil Queen here, absolutely not, of course we'll keep the puppy, if you take a solemn oath that you three will share the responsibility of two dogs." They nodded agreeing to clean up his messes and play with him thoroughly, so he didn't destroy her house. They got him checked out and then it was to the pet store for more things. They spoiled both dogs, the puppy turned out to be a female, so that meant bandana and bow ties for Hank, and bows for their new pup in every color except pink. She was a girl, but she wasn't a typical girl.
"We still want the cats mom, think of the rats," Henry said as they got home. Hank was immediately put to bed and given all the dog biscuits he could handle. Regina got Magnus fed while Maleficent took care of the chores and Emma researched on how to keep the two dogs happy together.
"This is the best Christmas ever," Hannah cried as she cuddled with both dogs. Mia's interest had finally waned enough to turn on the television to Dora the explorer in Spanish, but it taught her English. Regina had to special order some Spanish channels which she wasn't opposed too as she liked hearing her language.
"Aww we did that, she's so happy." Emma smiled as she sat next to Regina on the couch.
"Um…Regi, Emma are you mad at me?" Hannah asked suddenly. They looked at her concerned as Regina burped Magnus and he settled down for his nap.
"Oh, honey why would you think that?" Emma asked concerned. Hannah came over.
"Cause I called you Mama and maybe you don't like that," Hannah said ringing her little hands. "And I only said it cause I wanted somethin' that wasn't nice."
"Come here sweetheart." Hannah shuffled over and Emma pulled her into her lap.
"I know why you said it to Ms. Wallis today and I didn't mind, I understood it was your way of telling Ms. Wallis that you want us to be your forever family, and that fills my heart with joy. And yes, at the vet today that was a dirty tactic, but it still made my heart fill with joy. Now if you are still comfortable with calling me Regi and trying out Mommy sometimes that's fine. We keep Mama for Aunty Maleficent, so Magnus doesn't get confused later and Ma for Emma. So, if you need to try out Mommy and Ma on us every now again until you feel comfortable that's okay. We're happy either way."
"So, I have to call her Aunty Maleficent, but she your wife, she sleeps with you. I didn't tell Ms. Wallis that cause she think it bad. Sex is always bad."
"She's not our wife," Emma said. "I'm not even Regina's wife, we haven't even been dating a year," Emma said.
"Yes, she is, they're a throuple," Henry told Hannah coming in with drink. Maleficent came with a bowl of cut up fruit.
"I am not," Maleficent said.
"Give it up," Henry said. "Even if you don't do stuff your wives." They all huffed.
"I no understand, but I like Maleficent as a mommy too," Hannah said. Mia was now paying attention.
"Not Mama?" She frowned in confusion. They sighed.
"Why Magnus get to have you all and I don't?" Hannah asked.
"Kitten if you want me to be Mama than I am," Maleficent cried. Hannah smiled
"Okay, but you can't tell the social worker that ever. Even though only Emma and I are a couple, they won't understand that Maleficent is your Mama too, okay. So, when the social worker comes you have to remember to say she's your Aunt." Hannah nodded. They tried to make sure Mia understood as well, but she was younger and not as mature as Hannah could be.
"So, it's okay I call you mommy then?" Hannah asked to be sure looking at all of them.
"Yes, more than okay, honey you call us what is comfortable for you," Emma told her. Regina also told the same to Mia who gave her a big smile.
"Okay I want to call you mommy cause you the bestest mommy ever and you the bestest Mama and you the bestest Ma," Hannah told them. They smiled and she earned herself lots of kisses. Once Magnus was in his bed, they made lunch and everyone had a nap too due to the late night, they called to check on David and the baby and Mary Margaret. He was sleeping happily next to his mother and nursing. They went to bed glad that the stressful day had ended.
"Okay Magnus now that your brother and sisters are at school what shall we get done first, cleaning or work?" Regina asked him. He gave her a big smile and then disappeared. She got a text from Maleficent saying she had him and he could sit with her through the meeting. It was an hour long. Regina dialed Emma's number immediately.
"Hey babe, what's up?" Emma asked.
"Emma please excuse yourself from work and get home. Magnus is with Mal for one hour…" Regina was saying when white smoke appeared in front of her.
"Oh well that wasn't on purpose, but I am glad I made it," Emma said hanging up. Regina hung up as well. They kissed hard and Emma lifted Regina up and she closed her legs around Emma's waist. She took her to the new couch and fell back on it. Emma threw a barbie doll to the side that had found itself jammed in Regina's back. Regina wasn't even upset when Emma ripped her blouse open and the buttons went flying off. Emma gently at first claimed a nipple through the lace bra, Regina had remembered to magic on, this was not the time for nursing bras. She hissed as Emma rolled it between her teeth.
"Please don't tease me this time with stopping my orgasms, I need this right now."
"Understood baby, and I didn't plan too, that was just cruel to the both of us last time." Regina nodded as her eyes closed as she enjoyed the way Emma's hand cuffed and squeezed her other breast. She was so ready for Emma it wasn't even funny. It took so little to start a fire after being denied twice now.
"Can I fuck you and eat you out at the same time?" Emma asked.
"Yes please," Regina moaned as Emma kissed her skin, she wanted so much to be touched by this Goddess inside and out. They heard sounds of a screaming baby but ignored it because it wasn't inside their home and they were pretty sure it was not Magnus
"Mother?" Snow called through the door as she knocked and rang the doorbell.
"It's a conspiracy I know it," Regina muttered.
"Shs maybe she'll go away," Emma whispered. Regina nodded and they lay on the couch hoping against hope she'd assume they weren't home.
"I can see you and Emma, stop playing I need help with the baby," Snow said from the window. They both groaned.
"Snow come on just come back in an hour," Emma pleaded sitting up.
"No, Emma open the door before your brother gets cold."
"Aww man, can I just fuck you before the year is out, all I want," Emma grumbled.
"All I want is an orgasm for Christmas," Regina grumbled. Emma got off her and Regina had to conjure up a new shirt. Once they were decent, they let Snow inside with the baby.
"What can I help you with Snow," Regina said wondering if she could make it quick.
"My milk supply isn't enough, and he doesn't sleep, he hasn't slept in days, I don't know what to do."
"Are you serious right now, why didn't you come days ago, why did you come today, and right now?" Regina asked.
"David was being stubborn," Mary Margaret said before handing her the screaming child. He fell quiet immediately.
"Oh, I guess he just wanted you, now we can talk about my supply and the changes to my body. To say the least by the end of their hour, Regina was thoroughly turned off as Magnus arrived home. Both babies were fed and asleep and Regina just crossed her fingers that maybe Snow would leave that maybe Emma could get her mood back while Magnus napped. Neither happened as Emma was called out, and Snow was there until every child had returned home.
"How was your last day of school before the holidays?" Regina asked them.
"Good, we got so many treats Regi…I mean mommy," Hannah said. Regina stroked her head. She noted that so far, she had some completely basic braids that was working for Hannah, but she wanted something nice like she had seen. Hannah hadn't complained but Regina still wanted to do better. That and she had been avoiding washing Hannah's hair, which was no good.
"What do you say tomorrow to a Girl's day at the hair salon?" Regina asked. Hannah and Mia nodded.
"Hey what about me?" Henry asked. "Am I not a gay enough son for you?" Regina had to laugh.
"Why would you not be included in that?" She asked him seriously.
"I'm still a boy," He said.
"But also, one of the girls," Regina argued.
"I will give you that, so can we get our nails done too?"
"Do I look like a crap mother to you, Henry, of course we're getting manicures and pedicures." There was cheering.
"Wow Hannah your braids look so pretty," Snow said the next day after they had returned from their spa day. She was waiting with Emma and her brother. Snow proceeded to touch Hannah's hair and pet her. Hannah looked completely uncomfortable and violated. She was about to turn and do the same to Mia who had insisted on matching hairstyle as her sister, but Regina was ready for her, so she stopped her.
"Snow, she is not a dog do not pet her and do not run your fingers through her hair without permission," Regina snapped. Snow blushed.
"Sorry Mother," She said.
"I'm not the one you owe an apology too," Regina said.
"Sorry Hannah that was not okay," Snow said. Hannah nodded.
"Apology accepted and thank you for saying my hair looks nice," Hannah said politely as she hurried over to Emma. Regina got Magnus out of his car seat and handed him to Emma before he started to fuss, but eventually him and Favorite charming were having tummy time on his playmate together.
"Ugh I just don't understand why he's not fussy when I bring him here, but at home he's a nightmare," Snow huffed.
"He loves his family," Emma said as she made faces at both babies. Magnus laughed up a storm, but she couldn't wait for her brother to start interacting with his facial expressions. Snow beamed at that.
"I wish David would see that, he's still being weird, I told him Magnus has been on his best behavior.
"He will come around, he just needs time, he was against this from the beginning, but he loved me so much he wanted me happy. So, I think it's the same that he just wants favorite charming safe and happy," Emma said. "He doesn't realize they're best friends yet." She smiled again at both boys and Magnus returned the smile. Snow nodded.
"Oh, you can stop calling him that now, I decided on a different name, because if we have another child closer in age to him, I don't want that one thinking Mother doesn't love it," Snow huffed.
"Or that she doesn't love you," Emma snickered to Henry, who had quietly set up his xbox near her. He chuckled. Snow glared at her daughter and grandson.
"I would never allow a child to think that," Regina huffed as she now sat on the floor with two dogs in her lap and two girls in her hair. They hadn't even said a word just simply held up their supplies. At Hannah's insistence her hair was a bit longer than normal, but not by too much just yet. Hannah wanted to be able to play in her hair the same way she did Emma's, but Emma just simply kept hers too tangled for it to be fun and not work.
"Yes, well his new name will be David Nolan Jr, and we'll call him Dave for short or Robert Nolan II after David's father."
"Oh no, not with Gold wearing the name Robert around here," Henry said.
"Yeah," Emma said looking at Regina.
"I vote Robert, we'll call him Robby," Regina said with a shrug as she ate her chocolate, she had conjured up even as Hannah pulled hard on her hair, she didn't even react. "Don't much care for Gold enough to associate him with my brother in law."
"Your grandson," Snow growled. They glared at one another. It lasted so long, Emma thought the old feud might start up until the doorbell rang and David came to see if Snow was ready to come home. Emma had cracked down on her driving with her little brother until she had her license.
"Stay for dinner, I barely see you guys anymore with the family," Emma said sadly.
"Of course, darling," Snow said hugging her. David frowned, but agreed to stay for dinner.
"I'd better get started then," Regina said as the girls happily finished off her chocolate as Henry came over to wrestle his own few pieces from them.
"No Mommy stay your hair not finished," Hannah whined mouth full.
"Yeah sit Regina, you're always on dinner, I'm sure I can make something following one of your recipes," Emma smiled at her. "You had the kids all day, the least I can do is take over dinner just like I took care of chores today." Regina smiled at her.
"Oh, I can help," Snow said just before the baby started crying, he was hungry. "Or not." Emma handed her brother to her and Regina stayed with the children making awkward small talk until Henry got David to play his game. She focused on what the girls were doing by conjuring up a mirror, even going so far as to conjure up a mirror to tell her she was now the fairest of them all thanks to Hannah and Mia's hairstyling skills that had them giggling. Which led to Hannah thinking it was hilarious to chase Snow around with an apple declaring she had to eat the apple so her mommy could stay the fairest.
