I was missing this lot and thought you guys might be too! Enjoy!

It was crazy in the Locksley-Mills household, both Regina, Robin and their parents were all hurrying around trying to get everything ready. There were decorations and food everywhere, not to mention the presents that had been unwrapped earlier that morning and scattered around the whole house. Heidi had piles of them all discarded in the sitting room, soft toys, drawing things and a dolls house from Regina's parents, even if she was still a little young to be playing with that.

Heidi was sat in her playpen watching cartoons on the television as people worked around her, her eyes couldn't be torn away from the characters on the screen as she clapped along with the program. Luckily, she was able to keep herself entertained because Regina really didn't have time to play with her properly, though there was always someone in the same room as her to make sure she was okay.

The decorations were virtually finished and Regina was stood in the kitchen fussing over the food and making sure that it looked as good as it could on the table. "What time did you say everyone was coming dear?" Henry asked as he came up behind his daughter and tried to steal a sandwich from her set up, only to have his hand playfully smacked away.

"Daddy, don't eat the party food yet," she scolded with a roll of her eyes, "at least wait until the guest get here."

"Which will be when?"

"In about… twenty minutes. Oh god, is everything done? Maybe we should have just kept this low key."

"It's not every day your baby girl turns two Regina, enjoy the moment and stop stressing out. Everything looks perfect. Now, why don't you go and finish getting yourself ready and I can make sure that it's all taken care of down here."

"Are you sure?" she asked. She knew that she still had a couple of things to do before she would be presentable and she also wanted to add a bow to Heidi's hair if she would let her.

"Yes, go, stop fussing, you're getting to be as bad as your mother."

"Oh no, don't say that," she chuckled with a shake of her head before thanking her father and making her way into the sitting room to retrieve her daughter. The room which was modernly furnished was now decorated with pink streamers, balloons and birthday girl banners, all with the number two on them. She had to admit that the place looked really good and she was happy with the outcome, though she knew that she was going to have to transfer all of Heidi's opened presents upstairs to her bedroom.

"Hello, baby."

"Moma! Look!"

She glanced at the tv and saw Heidi's favourite show on the screen, that was certainly going to pose a problem when it came to taking her upstairs in order to do her hair, she knew that her daughter wouldn't want to stop watching the program and that she was going to have to literally tear her away from the screen. "Ooh, that's good. How about we go upstairs and I can make your hair look pretty?"

"Is pretty moma," she shook her head, her little hands going to her hair and touching it gently.

"Yes, I know it's pretty already, but I thought we might put a nice bow in it, wouldn't you like that?" Her daughter's hair was a mop of dark curls that landed on her shoulders, most of the time they were untameable, quite like Regina's own natural hair when it was that short, however, hers now fell just to her breasts and was much longer than it had been when she first met Robin. "We could watch this upstairs on moma and daddy's television whilst I do your hair for you."

"I watch this."

"Yep, but upstairs," Regina stated bending down to pick her up, only for Heidi to dodge her hands and move to the other end of her playpen, tapping her feet along to the program on the television. "Hey, come on, we need to get ready for your party."

"Mine?"

"Yeah, it's your birthday Heidi, so come on and maybe you could have some cake."

The little girls head whipped around and she stared at her mother instead of the TV, "cake?"

"Come on," she shook her head and make a quick dash to scoop her daughter up into her arms.

"No moma! I watch!"

"God, you can't be entering the terrible twos already! You're only just two today," Regina scoffed as her baby girl wriggled in her arms in an attempt to escape, a stroppy expression on her face. "Heidi, stop it."

"I don't wanna bow!" she cried, her fingers wrapping around her mother's hair and Regina knew exactly what she was intending to do with it.

"Heidi, don't you dare young lady."

"I wanna watch, moma."

"Let go of moma's hair right now."

"Heidi, you better not be being a bad girl for your mommy," Robin warned as he came through the front door with more helium balloons. That managed to make her quieten up as she dropped her mother's hair and looked solemnly down at her dress.

"Sorry moma," she whispered, cuddling into her as she realised that she'd been naughty. "I do want bow."

"I thought you might," Regina chuckled, kissing the top of her daughter's hair as she made her way upstairs to get them both ready.

An hour later, everyone had arrived, and they were all crammed into the downstairs area which was in no way big enough for the number of people they had invited. Regina was regretting not taking her mother up on the offer of housing the party, but she'd been wanting to have it at their own place for once.

Heidi was sat on Alex's knee as her auntie showed her how to work the toy she'd bought for her birthday, arguing with Zelena about how to properly set it up, much to Heidi's delight as the little girl laughed at the two women, clapping her hands at them.

Regina was sat with Tink and Lacy catching up, Lacy was telling stories of what was going on at University and how she was going into her final year. It made Regina realise what she had missed out on, that would have been her, she would be nearly finished with her degree and thinking about studying for her PHD. She'd always wanted to have the title Dr before her name. That wasn't going to happen now.

"Its actually really hard! I have to start planning for my dissertation already!"

"Me too, it's just so tedious and tiring," Tink groaned.

"God tell me about it, last week I was up studying for finals and I think my brain might have been officially fried. I'm so tired."

"I know right! It's so exhausting!"

"Try being a mother, then you'll know the real meaning of tired," Regina laughed dryly before standing up and clearing her throat, "anyone want another drink?"

"Oh shit, Regina. We didn't mean anything by it, I know how Uni was your dream since we were little."

"It doesn't matter," she shrugged, "I'm not going now and I'm okay with that. I have Heidi and she's better than any degree I might get from University."

"No one said you couldn't go to College, I mean Robin is going now isn't he?" Tink asked.

"Yeah, but I wouldn't want to neglect Heidi by..."

"Robin goes, is he neglecting Heidi?"

"No of course not!"

"So what the hell is stopping you from enrolling?"

"Maybe when she's older."

"You should do it, Regina, when she's in school."

She hadn't thought about it before, but the girls had a point, she could study for her degree whilst Heidi was in school. Could she really have it all though? That sounded like way too much to handle, she knew she would have to wait and see what happened before she agreed to do anything.

"Regina."

She looked up to see her mother coming into the room, "there's someone at the door, I thought you might want to get it."

"Oh," she furrowed her eyebrows before nodding and excusing herself, she made her way into the hallway and opened the door to see a rather nervous blonde stood there.

"Hi."

"Emma, hey."

"I got your invite, I wasn't going to come but, Alex told me I should."

"I'm glad you came. It's been a while."

"Two years, yeah, well I went travelling and didn't really come back that much."

"I know, Al told me." Regina looked her up and down, she looked pretty different, her hair was now chopped to above her shoulders and her makeup was somehow altered, the only similarity was that red leather jacket she never seemed to lose. It was then that she noticed the girl standing next to her, "you brought someone?"

"Yeah, your invite said… I hope that's okay," she glanced at the girl, well woman, who offered her a reassuring smile. "Anyway, this is Lilly, she's my girlfriend."

"Well, it's wonderful to meet you Lilly," Regina beamed at the woman who was a similar height to Emma with dark hair in a ponytail, she had dark brown eyes and freckles scattered over her cheeks and nose. "I'm…"

"Regina, I guessed," the girl chuckled, "nice to meet you too. Just so you know she's not obsessed with you any more."

"Lilly," Emma hissed, making the girl chuckled.

"What, it's true isn't it?"

"Yes but…"

"Well then, let's go give the baby her gift shall we?"

"Yeah, I guess… urm…"

"Come in," Regina laughed, pushing the door open further to allow them past, Lilly clearly wasn't nervous about anything and Regina had a feeling that would be good for Emma. She disappeared into the sitting room leaving the two of them alone in the hallway.

"Cute house," Emma stated, running her fingers through her hair, only for them to fall out of the bottom, Regina remembered that she used to do that when she was nervous about something.

"Don't worry, I forgave you a long time ago."

"How did you know that was what I was thinking?"

"I know you Emma Swan. Trust me, we're fine and seemingly you're better than fine. She's beautiful."

"She really is!" Emma grinned, her eyes twinkling a little at the mention of her girlfriend.

"I'm happy for you."

"Thanks," she stated shyly, "I can't believe I haven't met your baby yet."

"Oh my god! You haven't! Come on," she grabbed her arm and pulled her into the sitting room where everyone was talking as normal. She'd already talked about inviting Emma, but she'd just thought she wouldn't want to come, seemingly she had been wrong, but it was nice to see her. "Sorry Al, can I have my daughter back please?"

"Moma! Look, Ariel!"

"Oh cool," she chuckled as she looked at the Ariel doll in her daughter's hands, "Heidi, this is one of Moma's friends, would you like to say hello?"

"Hello," Heidi said briefly before picking up something else, "this Moannnna! And, Rapunzilla."

"Oh they are really cool," Regina nodded before lifting her up from Alex's knee, making her drop one of the dolls.

"Moma! Fallen!"

"It's fine, look," Emma smiled, picking up the toy and handing it back to Heidi, who took it with a smile and a small "tank you." "Those dolls look awesome. It's nice to meet you, Heidi."

"Hi."

"She is so adorable," the blonde quipped, "I got her a gift, can I…"

"Of course, thank you," Regina agreed, sitting down on the floor with Heidi on her knee, Emma copied her and Lilly handed her the present. "Sweetie, look, Emma has brought you a present, isn't that nice."

"For me?" she asked, her blue eyes widening as she looked at the gift, her little hands reaching out to touch the paper, "tank you," she smiled, "moma look, giraffe!" Heidi squealed happily as she pointed at her favourite animal that adorned the wrapping paper in cartoon form.

Regina chuckled at her, trust Heidi to be more interested in the wrapping paper than what was inside it. She rubbed her hand over her daughter's back, straightening the yellow spring dress she was wearing. She glanced up at Emma, watching her watch Heidi as she fought to open the paper so she could get to the present. It was nice to see her interact with Heidi, it felt like it had been forever since they saw each other and it was about time she met her daughter.

"Moma look! Dumbo!"

"Oh yeah," Regina smiled as she saw the stuffed toy her daughter took from the wrapping.

"I knew Dumbo was your favourite as a kid, I don't know if you already got her one but…"

"I hadn't actually, thank you, it's beautiful and I'm sure she loves it," she felt herself welling up a little and she didn't know why. Maybe she had just missed Emma more than she thought, even if during the last two years of school they had been arch enemies.

"You're welcome."

"It's nice to have you back."

When everyone was gone and all the mess had been tidied away, Regina, Robin and Heidi slumped on the couch watching Pocahontas, who was quite easily Heidi's favourite Disney princess, with Ariel coming in a close second. Regina was laid back against Robin and had Heidi leaning against her with chocolate cake on her face and she kept trying to reach it with her tongue.

"Look at you messy," Regina chuckled, running her fingers through her curls and taking out the yellow bow.

"So, it was nice that Emma came today," Robin quipped, pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

"Yeah, it was good to see her again. I was also thinking about a few things today," she whispered, looking over one of her shoulders before turning around on the couch and placing Heidi down next to her. "When I was talking to Lacy and Tink, I realised that I still really want to go to Uni and get my degree." She admitted, it hadn't really been something they talked about, Robin had just gone to college whilst she stayed home with Heidi, that had been her decision, but they hadn't talked about her going again in the future.

"Of course you can, but Heidi…"

"I didn't mean now, I just meant at some point I would like to go."

"Whatever you want to do, I'll support you one hundred percent, you know that," he reassured, pressing a soft kiss to her lips, "were in this together, you and me," he nuzzled his nose against hers, "always."

"You, me and our little madam."

"Moma, daddy," Heidi called out as though her ears were burning knowing that her parents were talking about her. She crawled back onto her mother's lap and squished her little body between the two of them before sprawling out across them. "Watch the movie."

"We are watching the movie," Robin laughed, looking down at her and stroking her hair gently. "Did you have a good birthday sweetheart?"

"Yep it was awesome."

"God, you can tell she's been talking to Zelena," Regina chuckled, "do you know what I think you need Heidi?"

"What?" she asked looking up innocently.

"Birthday kisses from Mommy and Daddy."

Heidi giggled and held onto them both as they leaned in and pressed kisses to their daughter's face and told her how much they loved her.
