Regina cried as Robin held her hand and their baby was placed in her arms for the first time, she almost forgot the immense pain she had been in less than a minute ago, the long and torturous labour had been completely worth it the moment her little one had been brought into the world and she heard her baby's first cry.

She looked up at Robin as he stared down at her in complete awe, squeezing her hand as they both watched their child squirm. "She's so beautiful," Robin stated, wiping his eyes with his spare hand before reaching out to touch her.

"She is," Regina sobbed as she dropped down to kiss her daughter's head, "hello, my darling, I'm your mommy," her finger brushed against the soft skin of her baby's face, she'd stopped crying as soon as she had been placed in her mother's arms, now she was simply wriggling. Regina ran a finger over the damp black hair covering her daughter's head. She was so fragile, Regina felt such a fierce need to protect her and she knew she would give anything to be able to do that.

"She's perfect," Robin kissed Regina's temple as he stared at his daughter, he was a dad, he had a daughter and she and her mother were the most perfect beings in the entire world. "You did it Gina, I knew you could."

Regina smiled up at him and laughed happily, "she is worth everything I went through, I would do it a thousand times over if it meant we could have our daughter." The little family basked in the moment, their eyes never straying from the baby, slowly her eyes began to open as she looked around, Regina gasped and glanced at Robin, "she has your eyes."

"I see that," he grinned, cupping the back of their baby's head gently.

There was a knock on the door, Regina looked over to see Cora and Caroline coming into the room, "oh my goodness!" They both came over to the bed and looked down at the baby in Regina's arms. "Regina, she is beautiful."

"I know," she beamed, "I love her so much."

"Congratulations," Caroline, smiled as she held onto Cora and they both looked at their new grandchild, "she's the perfect baby."

"Your grandmother is going to spoil you," Cora cooed as she gently touched the baby's little fingers, "yes she most certainly is."

"You are going to be spoilt rotten by the both of us young lady," the blonde added. "We'll leave you to enjoy her together, but we'll be back in a little while, I want to properly hold my granddaughter."

The tears were back again as Regina looked down at her child and reached out to Robin, she just couldn't believe they were parents and to the most beautiful child in the world. "I can't believe she's ours."

"She is," Robin smiled looking to Regina, "I love you so much, the both of you."

"We love you too," she nodded, bringing his lips to hers and kissing him gently, "thank you so much for giving me our little girl."

"I had the easy job, Regina, you're the one who brought our daughter into the world and I can never thank you enough."
