It's been ages since we checked in on Heidi and her parents and I felt that InspiredByOQ was the perfect opportunity to see what they're getting up to.

"Robin! Is she ready to go?" Regina shouted from the bedroom as she fixed her diamante studs in place. She checked her reflection in the full-length mirror and nodded before leaving their room and moving into Heidi's seeing Robin trying to get a little clip into her curls.

The little girl just kept trying to steal it from him and giggled every time he heaved a sigh at her, "come on Heidi, mommy is waiting for us." This just made her laugh even more as she turned her head and spotted her mother stood in the doorway.

"Mommy!" she squealed happily, reaching out for her.

"Hey miss, are you being cheeky with your daddy?" Regina tutted, coming closer to them and taking the clip from Robin's hand as they shared a look and he stood back in defeat. To be honest he hadn't done a bad job, she was fully dressed and it seemed as though the clip was the last part of the look before it was completed.

"No," she shook her head trying to look all innocent and Regina heard Robin scoff from behind her.

"I swear she gets cheekier every day."

Regina grinned at him and put the clip in her daughter's hair without any struggle, she knew that the little girl played up for her daddy. She liked to be playful with him and Robin was quite an easy target for her teasing. "Right, are we ready to go now?"

"Mhmmm, where we go mommy?"

"We're going to have some photos taken sweetie," she smiled, scooping up her daughter and carrying her downstairs. Her mom had organised a family photo shoot for the three of them as a treat, Regina had been wanting some professional pictures and she couldn't wait to get some that she could properly frame.

"Why?"

Regina chuckled as she slipped her shoes on before heading out the door and waiting for Robin to lock up, "well, mommy and daddy want some nice pictures of us all to put up on the wall."

"Oh," she shrugged, the Dumbo toy Emma had given her was clasped in her hand and bounced against Regina's back as she walked. As it turned out the two-year-old was very fond of the stuffed elephant and had barely put it down since she had been given it.

Regina strapped her into her car seat before hopping into the passenger side next to Robin. "Okay then, lets do this."

They pulled up in the parking lot of the studio and Regina was a bit shocked by how big the building actually was, part of her had been expecting something small. "Heidi have you been practicing your best smile?" Robin asked, turning to look at their daughter who was smiling at them with her sparkly little baby teeth on show. Robin sniggered and shook his head before climbing out of the car and moving around to get her out.

Regina bit down on her bottom lip as she followed suit and they walked towards the entrance, "mommy when see granna?"

"You want to see grandma?"

"Uh huh," she nodded, walking carefully beside her parents as her tiny legs navigated towards the door. Regina decided it would be quicker to pick her up and was wishing she'd thought to bring her push chair. "Miss granna." Heidi huffed, burying her face into Regina's neck. Robin's parents had been on a cruise for little more than a week, but Heidi was used to seeing them almost every day, seemingly she wasn't happy with the change to her schedule.

"Well, grandma is on holiday with grandad okay? They'll be back soon though," she reassured, kissing the top of her daughter's head as they entered the building and gave the receptionist their details before sitting down in the waiting area.

"We have a play area if she wants to go check it out," the woman called over, gesturing to a room beside the one they were in. "We'll come and get you when its your turn."

"That's great thanks," Regina nodded.

"I'll take her, you can sit here and chill out for a bit," Robin smiled, squeezing her hand before scooping up their little girl and heading off in search of the toys.

"You have a beautiful family," a woman sat opposite her complimented with a warm smile on her face.

"Thank you."

"How old is she?"

"She's two, but she acts as though she's older sometimes," Regina laughed, "do you have any children?"

"Hmm, two boys, ones seven and the other is five."

"Let me guess, it gets harder the older they get?"

"Something like that," the lady nodded, tucking her auburn hair behind her ear, "though I can't say what girls are like."

"Well Heidi is quite the mommy's girl, she normally behaves for me though not so much for her daddy."

"Locksleys'?" Regina turned her head to see a familiar face stood with a camera around her neck, "Regina Mills!"

"Hey Guinevere," she smiled, standing to hug the woman. She hadn't seen her in a couple of years, probably not since high school graduation.

"Wow, long time no see. You look amazing, and your hair is back! It's gorgeous."

"Thanks, you look great too. Are you working here?"

"Yeah, I'm on my placement year from college and I'm doing a photography course so here I am," she chuckled, "are you still with Robin?"

"I think you can probably tell that by the name you just called."

"Oh my goodness! Yes, does that mean you're married?" she asked, her eyes widening as she looked her up and down.

Regina shook her head, they might as well have been married but they weren't, not yet anyway, she was hoping that he might propose soon, she wanted to be his wife. She was ready to get married; it was a scary thing to say, but it was true. They'd done their relationship in the wrong order if they were honest. After caring for their baby together for two years and being together for three, they definitely knew that they were supposed to be together.

It was Robin's call though; she was waiting for the proposal.

"No, we're not married, not yet, but we've…"

"Mommy!" Heidi called as she came wobbling over to her at a fast pace, wrapping her little arms around her legs. "Daddy in ball pool," she squealed happily.

"Why does that not surprise me, hey?" she grinned, bending down to scoop her daughter up into her arms, "did you have fun in there sweetie?"

"Uh huh," the two-year-old nodded, "is fun."

"You have a daughter?" Guinevere asked, her eyes widened slightly as she looked from Regina to her baby in shock. Regina wondered how she didn't already know, she thought that most people in their old class knew about Heidi, she was hardly a secret. But then again, she hadn't really known what Guinevere was doing since they finished school, she didn't have her on any social media, maybe she had just missed it.

"Yeah, this is Heidi. Heidi, this is my friend Guinevere," she smiled. Heidi waved at the other brunette and Robin came up to them with his outfit all messed up. Regina rose an eyebrow at him and shook her head, "look at you now. Can't take him anywhere."

Guinevere laughed, "Robin."

"Hey! Sorry, I'm not usually this messy."

"Why do I not believe that?"

Robin huffed playfully, "so are we going to have this photoshoot then? I hate it when Gina makes me get all dressed up."

"Yeah, come on, this way," she smiled, leading them down a corridor. Regina followed on as Heidi played with her hair, trying to put it in her mouth. The other woman opened a door which led into a studio and the family moved inside.

"So, where do you want us?" Regina questioned, trying to stop Heidi from messing up her hair. "Oi, stop it monkey," she giggled, placing her down on the floor and letting her crawl over to the backdrop.

"Let's get some gorgeous family photos," Guinevere grinned, "I'd like you all in front of the screen and then we'll go from there."

After an hour or so the photoshoot was over and they had got some beautiful family photos. Regina was so happy and had ordered three printed onto canvas, one for them and the others for their parents. She also ordered a photobook for them to keep and another couple of larger prints that she wanted to put up in their bedroom. Heidi had asked if she could have one for her room as well and who was she to deny her daughter.

Once that was over, they went to the mall for some food and to do a little bit of shopping. It was only once they were home that Heidi had burst into tears. Regina heard her from kitchen and hurried into the sitting room, finding her sobbing against Robin. "What happened?" she asked in panic. "Heidi baby, what's wrong?"

"She lost Dumbo," Robin stated, wincing as he said it.

"Oh no."

"Mommy Dumbo gone! Lost," she cried, burying her face into Robin's chest as her little hands clung to his shirt.

"Robin get your car keys."

"Seriously? You want to…"

"Robin."

"Okay, fine," he rolled his eyes, handing their crying daughter to Regina. "Can't I just go buy her a new one?" he whispered.

"No, come on. Go to the studio first, please?"

"It's a good job I love the both of you," he huffed, kissing her lightly before pulling back to look at Heidi, "Daddy is gonna go find Dumbo okay?"

"I come! Look too."

"Fine lets all go," Regina groaned as they all piled back into the car. She opted to sit in the back with Heidi and help to quell the tears that were still falling, coming out in broken sobs as she hiccupped and held onto Regina's fingers for comfort, her little fingers wrapped tightly around her mother's hand. "I bet you left it in that blasted ball pool didn't you," she sighed.

"Probably to be honest," Robin laughed.

"You think making your daughter cry is funny?"

"No."

"You better not," she tried to stop the smile from coming onto her face, she knew it wasn't the fact Heidi was crying that made him laugh, more the fact that he was a twenty-one-year-old who had been in a ball pool earlier that day. "Heidi, we're gonna find him, okay."

They pulled up in the parking lot for the second time that day and found Guinevere coming out of the building, locking the door behind her. "Guinny! Wait."

"Hey, Regina, what's up?"

"Heidi lost her teddy. Do you mind if we have a look inside? Please, I promise it wont take long."

"Sure, come on," she unlocked the door once again and let them inside.

They headed straight to the playroom and Heidi retraced her steps, looking around where she had been. They still hadn't found the toy and Regina was beginning to panic, the last thing she wanted to do was trawl around the mall trying to find a teddy which could be anywhere, she'd rather go with Robin's idea and buy her a new one. Would she even know?

"Get in there," Regina ordered, pointing to the ball pool and looking at Robin.

"No."

"You've already been in there once, get in."

"No."

"I'm not going to ask you again, get in the ball pool."

She watched as a mischievous expression came upon his face and knew what that meant, she was in trouble now. She didn't have time to do anything about it because before she could think to run away, he'd hauled her into a fireman's lift and flung her into the ball pit.

"Robin!" she yelled, standing up in the pool and scowling at him. She heard giggling coming from across the room and looked over to see Heidi laughing at her, in fits of giggles. "Do you think this is funny madam?" Regina asked, raising an eyebrow at her daughter who simply laughed in response. Robin moved over to her and scooped her up off the ground and dropped her into the ball pool along with her mother. Regina scooped her into her arms, holding her against her.

It was then that a ball of grey fluff caught her eye in the corner and she prayed that it would be the toy they were looking for. It was past Heidi's bed time and the little girl should really be asleep by now. She waded through the coloured balls and grabbed the toy, lifting it up to reveal the lost Dumbo. "Look Heidi, look."

"Dumbo! Mommy you found him!" she squealed in excitement, reaching for the teddy and squishing it against her. "Thank you!"

Regina handed Heidi to Robin before pulling herself out, once Heidi was back in her own arms she reached out and caught Robin off guard, shoving him hard and making him fall into the pool himself. The three girls laughed as they walked away, leaving him complaining as he struggled against the balls to get out of the pit.

Serves you right Robin for teasing your girlfriend! Also, who agrees with Regina that Robin should get a move on and propose?
