Author's Note: Uh oh it looks like our little family is growing again.
Chapter Twenty
Been Waiting All Week for This
"Hey, you let me sleep," Emma groused as she came downstairs, it was Sunday morning, and Regina was just cleaning the girls up.
"I wouldn't say I let you so much as your body forced you," Regina chuckled as she turned halfway to accept the kiss Emma was waiting to give.
"Mama play!" Darien exclaimed from her seat at the table, in a booster seat, now Regina was enforcing her attempting to eat with her utensils most of the time.
"Later after Mama eats her breakfast too," Regina told Darien sternly who pouted.
"I'll be quick love," Emma whispered to Darien who gave her a big smile. Louder she said, "Where's the kid?"
"Sleeping in like I wanted too, and David asked for both you and Rowan over for breakfast. But I told him he could meet Rowan at Granny's without Snow. He agreed and didn't seem to know where she was." Emma groaned. "But Henry did me a solid, I needed Ruby and Granny, so he watched over the girls. He could have stayed asleep, but he was terrified someone would come for you, so he sat up in bed with all the girls next to you with a strengthening potion."
"Jesus Christ, poor kid, what was the emergency?" Emma asked.
"One Hook demanding I come out and be defeated so he could give you true love's kiss, I'm going to have to guess that Snow got to him or Blue I don't know or maybe he just came up with it on his own. Of course, he showed up in the middle of the night and made a loud scene, but then thank God everyone was awake, because there really was a large mean Giant. Ruby chased him away from David, he was so hell bent on killing David. With the giant came more people, another village, but they used to live on the sea, but came from the forest. Regina took both trays from the girls to the kitchen and came back with a plate of sausage, eggs over easy, and toast for Emma. "Darien if you want to play with Mama you have to finish your breakfast like Mama." Darien started eating again eager to play with Emma.
"Good grief, did you kill him?" Emma asked her.
"No, just threw him a few times, I thought that would be enough while I went after the giant chasing David, I mean he has it coming but not for his twin brother's crime," Regina said wiping off first Xavieré and unstrapping her. She just got her onto the top hat potty on the floor. She was still being a little tricky sometimes. Regina cleaned her up and set her free bare assed on the house. She went to Emma though as Regina got Lincoln who signed that she had to pee and went without Regina prompting her as soon as she was on the potty. "So, I saved David, calmed down the Giant who get this is a duplicate of Anton. He was glad to meet himself and he's spending more time as his tall self out in the forest with them, but he enjoys living with the widow Granger. Then I had to convince all those people I wasn't going to kill them again, and obviously that took all night to get them settled and find friends and family."
"Did you sleep at all?" Emma asked.
"Yeah exactly five minutes last night…" Regina started.
"Regina you get upstairs to bed right now, I'm taking care of the kids and any emergencies, you sleep," Emma said immediately standing and taking the top hat potty from her gently to Regina's relief. "Go, I'll get Darien cleaned up and pottied too, she's always good for me." Darien gave her a big smile at the praise as she signed for the bathroom. "Go I got this I am up, and I'll make sure the kid eats when he comes down." Regina gave her a kiss before she did kiss the kids and go back to bed. There was no fuss today since Emma had been asleep since last Friday, she'd been out for just over a week. Regina washed her hands found a large sweatshirt from Emma and dived into bed after making the room as dark as possible.
"Hello bed, I missed you last night," Regina whispered as she snuggled in and stole Emma's pillow to cuddle with because it smelled like her. "So comfy." It took her a few minutes, but Regina was determined to fall back asleep. And for twenty beautiful minutes she was undisturbed.
"Regi," Rowan loud whispered as she pinched her nose. Regina just bit back a groan as she stopped Rowan from preventing her from breathing out of her nose.
"Yes, Row, I thought you were having a visit with David."
"Mom came," Rowan frowned. Regina could just hear it in her voice because she so didn't want to open her eyes. "I no like her; she yells at Dad."
"Oh, and David told you to come home because of that?" Regina asked.
"Uh huh, he says get Emma." Regina bit back another groan that maybe the kids were downstairs alone waiting for her and Emma had rushed out.
"Did you get Emma?" Regina asked mentally preparing herself to get out of bed again.
"No," Rowan said. "I got you."
"You got me," Regina said as Emma's cell was going off, she knew from the ring that it was Ruby. Sighing again she got up and took Emma's phone and Rowan downstairs. Emma was happily drawing on a large piece of paper with the girls in the foyer.
"Hey baby what are you doing up, and with Rowan?" Emma asked.
"Something about your mom and dad at the diner, He sent Rowan for you, but she landed on me," Regina sighed. Emma gave her an apologetic look and kiss before hurrying upstairs to get dressed amid protests from Darien.
"I know, I know this was your time with Mama," Regina said as she took Emma's place or tried too. Darien yanked the crayon from her.
"No Mami," Darien told her firmly. "No Row. Mama!" She pointed to Emma who was rushing down. Regina sighed and rubbed her head.
"Fucking Snow," Regina muttered after Darien had started crying when Emma kissed her goodbye.
"I'll be back in ten minutes baby, don't worry, we'll keep coloring," Emma tried to sooth, but it was useless. They woke Henry up enough to come down for breakfast before going back up once she had gotten them quiet by getting them to play doctor. Which allowed her to lay on a pillow, and under a blanket while they performed surgery on her. She didn't even care there was a barbie comb stuck in her hair, drool on her face courtesy of the twins, and that she was being jabbed occasionally by large round blunt tips on the fake doctor's toys. That got her through twenty minutes before they wanted snacks, and then there was half chewed cheese all over her living room.
"I need a dog," Regina grumbled cleaning up the mess.
"Regi lay down," Rowan said pointing to what was now deemed her hospital bed.
"Yup I'm coming back just give me a second Row," Regina said. She disposed of the trash but not before the house phone rang. She picked up. "Mills and Swan Residence."
"Hey baby its me, could you please come down to the station and help settle a dispute for us." Regina grimaced at the idea of leaving the house in her state.
"Can't I do it over the phone?" Regina asked.
"Nope, you're going to want to see this,"
"All right, all right just please give me a minute to wrangle everybody."
"No problem." Regina hung up and sighed. She went to the girls where Rowan was looking up expectantly.
"We're going to go see Emma at the station, you girls be good while I get changed." Darien perked up hearing Emma's name.
"Mama?" Darien asked looking for her.
"We're going to her, she's taking too long," Regina told her. Darien nodded.
"Yes," Darien said. Regina put up the baby gate to keep them in the living room and hopefully contain whatever mess they made while she got dressed. She hurried up stairs and knocked on Henry's door.
"Honey wake up we need to go into town, some emergency," Regina called through the door. She opened it when Henry groaned in response. "I know honey, but I don't really know what it's about and don't want to leave you unawares."
"I know, I was just so hoping for a quiet morning," Henry grumbled as he opened his eyes and paused. "Jesus, I think you were too, is that a barbie comb in your hair?"
"Probably, I was hoping not to leave the house today, I don't know how I am going to fix the mess I am right now."
"Mami!" Darien whined. "Go Mama!" Regina sighed.
"Get dressed and pray I work a five minutes miracle," Regina said going to her bedroom. She stripped down and hurried into the shower. She was in and out, may as well have jumped under the stream and back out. She brushed her teeth and somehow got the Barbie comb out of her hair. She put it down on her counter only to realize she had a growing collection of little toys that ended up stuck in her hair. Two braids on either of side of her hair and a side bun later, she thought she might have to started to look presentable. She washed her face quickly as she tried to hurry, although Darien came in, in the arms of Henry.
"She bullied me," Henry pouted.
"You caved," Regina argued as she sprayed herself with perfume, and went into her closet. She came out in a pantsuit and did her make up which Darien found super fascinating enough to stop glaring at her. Once she was done, she took Darien from Henry to get changed.
"Mami," Darien protested.
"You can't go out in just a t-shirt and no undies," Regina told her. Darien pouted but allowed her to put on the tiny undies before she allowed Darien to pick out a sweater and tutu with thick winter leggings that she had previously bejeweled. She put her socks on before she put her down and went to the girls room where she picked out matching gray sweaters with skinny jeans and socks. Apparently neither of the girls had a matching pair of socks anymore. She was just glad they were wearing boots, and no one would notice. She took the clothes downstairs, making sure to take Darien's free hand while her other was one the rail. They made it downstairs and into the living room where Rowan was telling Henry about breakfast.
"Linc, come here." Lincoln ignored her. Regina rolled her eyes as she grabbed her anyway from her blocks and put her on the potty. Lincoln stubbornly didn't want to go because she wanted to play, but Regina was firm and she went before Regina cleaned her up and put on her undies amid a struggle as well as her pants, socks and sweater. Finally, she was done after a ten-minute struggle. Xavieré took so long Darien had time to potty too before she huffed and puffed at the delay. Eventually she pooped, they got her cleaned up and, in a nappy, because Regina did not trust her at all. Finally, she was dressed. Then Regina had to search all over the house apparently for three pairs of tiny rain boots. She found one half a pair in her closet, the other in the dryer, another set was just behind an armchair and the last set, was just simply under a pile of her own, Emma, and Henry's shoes that Emma was meant to have cleaned already. They pouted about the gloves and hats, but it wasn't up for debate.
She got her own boots on, jacket, hat, and gloves while she was just grateful that Henry was old enough to get his own things on. She nearly grimaced that Emma still wanted at least one child before the girls were over five. And she needed to give her an answer sooner rather than later. While the deal was, she'd answer by the time Xavieré and Lincoln were two, they were born on Christmas. She was pretty sure Emma would get her hopes up and Regina would ruin Christmas for her. At that thought Regina groaned again and wondered how she could tell her no they couldn't give a home to some poor kid just sitting all depressed wishing for a family like Emma was.
"Mom why do you look like you're going to cry?" Henry asked as she grabbed her keys, wallet, and backpack diaper bag which she always sat packed by the door now that she didn't need to travel with extra milk just around town.
"Mami!" Darien whined as she tried to get out the little yellow ducky umbrella Emma had bought her.
"Please?" Regina asked signing.
"Peease," Darien said signing back. Regina gave it to her, and the girls immediately descended upon her to take it from her, they wanted one too.
"Oh boy," Regina said. "To answer you Henry, I just thought that Emma wants one more kid and I don't think she thinks that I will say no." Henry cringed. "And how can I say no when all she's thinking about is saving them from being as sad as her." He cringed harder.
"Good luck," Henry cringed. "I mean do you want to say no?"
"Ask me again when they aren't fighting over one umbrella, they all have, and I'm not operating off stolen snatches of sleep."
"Reasonable," Henry said. Regina separated them and once each girl had the same umbrella in their hand, they became uninterested. Lincoln and Xavieré tossed theirs on the floor. Regina counted to five as she bent down.
"No, if you no longer want to take your umbrella, then we have a place for that," Regina told them sternly. She made them put it back in the umbrella rack before she finally opened the door. Rowan and Darien took off first and down the sidewalk.
"GIRLS!" Regina yelled as she held Lincoln's hand and Xavieré in her other. "We're driving come back here." The chase led them down the block to Regina's annoyance.
"Please can we walk Regi?" Rowan begged.
"Peese, Mami,"
"It would waste more time to walk back now," Henry said handing her the umbrella. Regina sighed and consented. Maybe they would burn off some energy. She did manage some cute pictures of Darien and Rowan though smiling big as they played in puddles along the way. Still she was glad to see the police station in sight.
"Two hours that's a new low for you," Emma said.
"It's been a rough day, now please tell me why it is I dragged myself out of the house at all today?" Regina asked.
"Several things, I don't even know where to start, because of the fight at Granny's Snow is claiming that she's a ward of the city and you're responsible for paying the damages. David still has no idea why she came to start a fight. He's sitting waiting to see if Snow's spewing more bullshit or not because Snow threatened to sue Granny if they wrongfully charged them.
"Them you mean David," Regina scoffed. "All right really I couldn't answer that over the phone?"
"That part, but then Snow claimed that you and her, had sex, and you impregnated her magically with your true love. She took a pregnancy test and she is somehow pregnant." Regina snorted loudly.
"I would never…" Regina started. Emma held up a hand.
"I know, but she swears it was by magic, so I thought you'd best check that. And some old man wandered in. He hasn't spoken, I thought you might be able to help him. I think he's new, but he would know your face I thought as well." Regina nodded. "He's sitting in an interrogation room with the door open, so he doesn't freak out." They walked into the main room where Regina put the umbrellas away much to Darien's hatred, but once Emma had her, in her arms she stopped whining as much. Regina was hanging up her coat as she'd need a minute to sort through some bylaws. She was surprised Snow wasn't calling for her, but realized she was, and that Emma must have put a silencing charm up.
"Mi Cielo?!" A voice called. The shock was evident as Regina turned immediately and her eyes widened, and his eyes widened.
"DADDY!" She exclaimed and before she knew it, they were hugging and sobbing and looking over each other.
"Is this real, are you real?" He asked. "Am I in heaven?"
"This is real, I can't believe you're alive," Regina said.
"Me, I can't believe you're alive, I watched your mother kill you!" He cried.
"Kill me?" Regina asked frowning.
"You refused to marry that King even after she killed Daniel. She was so angry that she threw you against the wall, but she was too careless, and you were impaled on the wall. She's been masquerading as you ever since so she could be Queen."
"No daddy, you're in an alternate universe, she didn't kill me in this time, she made me marry him." He hugged her.
"Lo siento mi cielo, I wish I could have protected you against her," He said.
"I don't have any regrets anymore, my path here led me to my true love, the woman you met earlier, Emma, she's my fiancé." Regina turned back to her family who were all waiting patiently for father and daughter to be reunited. Henry Sr. gave them all a big smile especially when he saw Darien.
"Hi, I've heard a lot about you, sorry I didn't know who you were, or I would have taken you home immediately." He shook his head and hugged her immediately.
"The toddler in her arms is Darien Emma, she's almost two you're just in time to celebrate with us. The twins are Xavieré Reina and Lincoln Alice, they're fifteen months, and this is your namesake Henry Daniel," Regina introduced him proudly. She had always wanted her father to meet Henry and this was a dream come true. Rowan pulled on her shirt. "I didn't forget you. Daddy this is Rowan Bailey, she's Emma's baby sister, but she lives with us, you've sort of caught us in the middle of a crisis."
"Nice to meet you, young lady." Rowan smiled at him.
"I like you," She said just as the door opened from outside and David walked in with Granny with bags.
"We're back with lunch," Granny said.
"Guys meet my father in law," Emma grinned. Snow angrily banged on the bars. They all shook hands and they explained that David was Emma and Rowan's father, and Snow was their mother and currently delusional, but that Regina didn't bare her any ill will.
"All right first let's check the bylaws so we can establish payment," Regina said as she sat down next to her father and a book appeared. He seemed startled by her magic but didn't comment on it. Everyone sat around except the girls who were exploring though Rowan did sit with David and ask if Snow had hurt him. No one would have ever thought that Rowan would be closer to David then Snow when this had all started.
"So, who's paying," Granny asked.
"Well seeing as Snow hasn't shown up for any treatment in about a week, she's no longer on in-patient status. David you have to pay." David groaned.
"All right, I'll take care of it Granny," David said. Granny nodded.
"Okay that's settled, Emma please allow Snow to be heard." Emma grimaced but did so.
"Finally!" Snow yelled. "Let me out of here, Regina baby please reintroduce me to your father. I'm your fiancé not Emma!"
"She's delusional," Regina told her father. She turned back to Snow. "What's this about me impregnating you with magic."
"Our true love magic, we met last night by the town docks," Snow said.
"What time was this?" Regina asked.
"Three in the morning," Snow said "While the warning sirens were going off."
"Snow honey that's impossible, because I was out looking for you again, and just before the sirens, I saw Regina tossing Hook around magically outside of her house. And then us rushing to find the emergency. She spent the rest of the night saving my ass from a Giant, but you'd know that if you were around."
"It's not true, she was with me I know it!" Snow yelled. Henry Sr. frowned.
"I think I may know the problem," Henry Sr. said. They all turned to him.
"What is it Daddy?" Regina asked.
"Your mother, I told you she's masquerading as you and herself even, she's known as the Queen of Hearts, you're the Evil Queen but honestly you're hardly ever seen. She was too old to carry a child to term with Leopold. She killed him after Snow White came of age. She had found a spell to impregnate her magically. I do believe that she used this willing Snow to make a clone of you to raise you again without my interference as she called it." Regina frowned and went to Snow; she ran her hand over Snow who looked scared now that maybe it all had been too easy.
"You're not pregnant yet exactly. Just enough to make you think so, there's an egg, but no sperm if that makes sense. She needs my father to complete the spell.
"Then I had better go mi cielo, I won't let her ruin you again," He said sadly.
"Daddy it won't make a difference, Mother will see me and use me, at the very least I am a body double that can actually stand in now," Regina said. She broke the spell on Snow. "There don't be stupid again, she'll have to start over if she wants you pregnant." Snow tried to grab on to Regina, but she pulled away quickly.
"What do we do now?" Granny asked.
"Send out a search for any sightings of mother I guess and tell the dwarves not to engage we all remember how it was the last time she was here." Granny nodded.
"I'll let Ruby know as well," She said and left out.
"Let's take lunch home, shall we?" Emma asked indicating the girls now trying to get into her fries.
"Yes, definitely," Regina said. "We didn't drive over."
"Neither did I," Emma said. "Girls come on we gotta poof home."
"Please don't teach them nonsense words like that," Regina groaned as Rowan hugged David goodbye and they agreed to have breakfast the next morning again.
"Hey what about Snow?" He asked.
"You can either deal with her or call nurse Ratchet," Regina said.
"I'll call the hospital; I need to sleep without worrying."
"David don't you dare!" She screamed.
"Come on Daddy, we need to apparate home." He nodded as Emma only grabbed Henry and disappeared. Regina watched each of her girls disappear too and followed Darien with her father. When they reappeared in the candy aisle at the grocery store, she was glaring at her daughter.
"I said home young lady, now," Regina said. Darien disappeared quickly and Regina followed they were standing outside their house and Darien was hurrying over to Emma.
"Candy aisle again?" Emma asked. Regina nodded as Emma shook her head. They all went inside, and Henry Sr was amazed at all the appliances, but delighted by the realistic paintings as he called them of the girls, Henry, and Regina.
"Abuelo, what was mom like as a child?" Henry asked as they ate.
"She was mischievous, sweet, and caring, she once nursed her pony all night when she was five, she was stubborn she wouldn't leave him." He smiled at the memory as did Regina, that at least was the same.
"Sounds like her now," Emma quipped earning a small shove from Regina. Regina was just on cloud nine watching her father interact with her children. It was all she had ever dreamed of when she was carrying Imogene.
"You must be tired," Regina told him as he yawned.
"Yes, I was wandering all night until I happened into that dungeon you found me in."
"It's not a dungeon it's a police station, it's where Emma works, she helps the people rather than jailing for some small infraction." He nodded.
"Perhaps I could get a bath?" He asked.
"Yes, Henry will show you the bath and I'll go out and grab you some fresh clothes," Regina said. He nodded.
"This way Abuelo," Henry said as he stood up. Henry Sr. followed his grandson up the stairs.
"You're all right with the girls while I get Daddy some clothes?" Regina asked Emma. Emma nodded.
"More than good, pretty sure Darien's going to lose it if we don't get back to our coloring soon." Regina chuckled as Darien was indeed pulling out the rolled paper she had put to the side.
"She missed you a lot and snuggled you at night hoping that was enough to get you your energy back. I told her the more cuddles she gave the quicker you'd wake up." Emma chuckled.
"I bet they were all on top of me at night and you slept all free," Emma accused. Regina laughed.
"I saw an opportunity, I took it," Regina replied before giving Emma a kiss. "I'm sorry I didn't ask but you are okay with Daddy staying right?"
"Baby I know one of your biggest regrets is not having your dad by your side, and from the story he told. I do believe this is just the second chance you both needed to be together. You've both lost each other I will not separate you two."
"Thank you for being the most understanding future wife a woman could ask for," Regina said. "You truly are half my heart."
"Uh oh," Xavieré said. They broke their kiss to look to where she was now sitting next to Emma. They hadn't even seen her pull herself up and she had now pulled off her nappy and gone on the chair. She was now signing pee a little too late for Regina's tastes.
"Wrong chair, there's the potty," Regina said pointing to the corner. Xavieré looked at it giggled as she scrunched up her face. Regina quickly took her to the potty and at least got her to poop in the toilet while she signed. "Well points for pooping in the right place." Xavieré clapped.
"Mama!" Darien called. The paper was on the floor still rolled and she had spilled the crayons all around it. She smiled at them thinking she had done a great job. They smiled back and just chuckled at her innocence. Once they had Lincoln pottied too, and the chair put out of the way to be properly steam cleaned later. Rowan decided to go shopping with Regina, so they went out together.
"There you are, and now you've kidnapped the young Prince Leo," Hook said brandishing a sword at her.
"Take a hike Pirate and this is Rowan, we don't have a Prince Leo, now if you don't mind, we need to get some shopping done quickly." She easily moved his sword out of the way and pulled Rowan along. They went inside the shop and thankfully Hook did not follow. Regina got her father a few things to tie him over until she could do some real shopping in her opinion. She allowed Rowan to pay to her happiness and they were turning with the bags. They disappeared back home when she saw that Hook was perking up when she came out.
"I'll take them up to him," Henry volunteered. "I just came down to check if you were back. He was telling me the story of our great Aunt Christina. He says she rode a unicorn into battle is it true?"
"Legend says Christina was blessed with the friendship of a unicorn," Regina told him. Henry smiled bigger and took the bags upstairs before she helped Rowan out of her rainboots and coat.
"Any trouble?" Emma asked from her place on the floor, where she was coloring with the girls. Darien was directing Xavieré and Lincoln where to scribble though.
"Just Hook Unfortunately, but I am not dealing with it today, I just hope he doesn't show up here," Regina sighed.
"I'll talk to him if he does, it seems I'm the only person he hasn't asked about us, you know the one it's about." Regina chuckled before she yawned. She was wondering if she could get a nap in when Rowan came running back with the doctor set and grinning.
"Regi time for your coma," Rowan said making them laugh, but Regina dutifully got comfortable on some pillows and commenced her coma and fake dying a few times as she faked the beep sounds. Unfortunately, her father walked in at the wrong moment and was so scared. He nearly had a heart attack.
"Lo siento Daddy, we were just playing doctor, I didn't mean to scare you."
"Está bien, mi cielo, I just saw you again lying on the floor not moving, just so still. I never want to see the light go out of your eyes again. It was too much, I am only glad, I am not dead, so I could come to you here where you need me too." They hugged and once he was calm, she resumed playing with Rowan though told her no more fake dying to her unhappiness.
"Uh maybe it's too late for this thought, but if your mother is masquerading as you, what's stopping her from masquerading as your father to get to you?" Emma asked from the foyer.
"For one I think Mary Margaret would be pregnant already just to be safe, and my mother never mastered my father's language, she said it was beneath her," Regina said.
"Your world though, how do you know it wasn't different in his reality?" Emma asked even as she still colored. Regina did a spell and her father didn't flinch as he stayed himself.
"He's himself," Regina said as she checked for his heart too. He looked afraid that she would pull it out, but it wasn't necessary.
"And to be clear, your mother still cannot speak Spanish," Henry Sr. told her loudly.
"Kay glad we could clear that up," Emma said not looking up from her work as she followed Darien's directions.
"I'm sorry, Daddy, we have to protect the children, and in my excitement, I was not conscious. I hope you aren't offended, but Emma and I have fought too long and hard to have our happiness destroyed."
"Here, here," Emma said. "Sorry sir, I just couldn't risk not asking until later that would mean I had traded in coloring with my daughters for something else."
"Don't apologize, seeing you with children is more wonderful than I had hoped," He said smiling at them. Now tell me did you choose a prince to help you, do I need to have a talk with him?" Regina smiled at him but shook her head.
"No, you may have noticed that I have magic." Henry nodded. "I actually am pretty powerful, maybe more than mother, but she's got experience on me for sure. But because Emma it turns out the daughter of my archnemesis if you will or was my archnemesis, is my true love. And Emma was created in true love as well as the Savior to my curse, so that makes her powerful. The curse is how we ended up in this world. And yeah it gave us the ability to make true love babies. Emma's the father or the mother, but more like the father because you know I did the actual making."
"You mean baking come on Regina that was too easy!" Emma called back.
"I agree with Emma, you missed that one dear," Henry Sr. laughed as well as Emma and Henry. Regina looked unamused by them all the same.
"That must have been wonderful after your wedding, finding out you could have a baby," He said forgetting they weren't married yet.
"We aren't married yet," Emma said as she carried the paper into the living room. Darien went to Regina.
"Mami mira," Darien said pointing as Xavieré and Lincoln joined them
"Oh, que linda," Regina told them. She asked them who had colored what. Once the girls were satisfied that Henry, Henry Sr, and Regina had exclaimed over their artwork, they found other toys to get into.
"What do you mean my precious baby was pregnant before her wedding night?" Henry Sr. asked when the attention was back on him.
"Oh well it wasn't intentional," Emma said and then cringed as that didn't sound right either. "Regina help I'm failing at being a daughter-in-law." Regina chuckled and stroked her head.
"Daddy calm down what she means is we didn't know. There was a fail safe to the curse that I built in, the problem was it wasn't supposed to be a apart of it, and Rumple didn't know how it would react to the curse whether we would be dead or go back alive to the Enchanted Forest. So, I tried to stop it, I thought I would die, but at the last-minute Emma came and used her magic as well. Either way I thought I still might die, and I was thinking over my life and my regrets that I had always wanted to give birth among other things surrounding that. Henry is adopted and I love him as if I had pushed him into the world myself, but Emma got to experience that with him." He nodded.
"I can understand that," He agreed.
"Yes, so during that our magic mixed and without us knowing it we got Darien. She was quite the surprise, but you know Emma just thought I was really sick, and she took care of me and held me through all the pain and then when we realized that I was giving birth, because I was not showing she really supported me through it. At first, she was Darien's Godmother, but she was here for us it was a shock to have a newborn, and Emma was here where the father would be. Eventually I ended up pregnant again, and we didn't know why we were panicking. Somewhere in all that we started dating and then Emma proposed, and we shared true love's kiss and that's when we found out that Darien was our true love baby, and so were the twins who hadn't been born yet. It was a nice way to find out that there was no sinister plot only love."
"Oh good, so you haven't had sex out of wedlock," He said a hand on his heart. Emma was sure Regina never got so red in her life.
"What no, what is sex even actually," Regina said looking away. Emma and Henry quietly snickered because Regina was not innocent on this. "Practically a virgin, you know I'm a Queen."
"Yeah practically," Emma murmured earning a hit on the arm from Regina and a glare.
"I'm so relieved to hear that, in my world that bastard had already forced himself on you," Henry Sr. shuddered. "Your mother locked me away with magic and said I wouldn't ruin your future. I was prepared to die trying to stop him.
"Aww that means a lot that you tried," Regina said. Regina didn't add that he didn't try as far as she knew in her world. It had never occurred to her that perhaps he had tried back then, but again she had Imogene to worry about and didn't need that for her daughter's sake not that it mattered in the end.
"And Emma you haven't attempted to do anything to mi cielo right?" Henry Sr. asked. Emma just kept the silly little grin off her face for Regina's sake.
"I would never do anything, in fact just before the portals started that brought you here, I surprised my Queen with a vacation, four toddlers is stressful and she's such a wonderful mother, sir you should be proud you have been a shining example for her. The love you give my Queen as a father is a mirror image of how she raises our children. And I try to follow that now too."
"And yet they love her more, traitor to their Mills parentage honestly," Regina quipped. They all chuckled.
"You know that is so not true, they love you more," Emma insisted.
"You were asleep you didn't hear the constant Mama," Regina joked.
"Does it help if I love you the best?" Emma asked kissing her cheek.
"A lot actually," Regina said before her father yawned. "Perhaps you want to take a nap, and if you like I can magically give you knowledge of this world. Part of my abilities from the curse. You won't be traditionally cursed, but you'll have a place in the community and things won't seem so scary as they did when you first came through." He nodded.
"That would be nice, I trust you," He said. She smiled and closed her hand for a moment and when she opened it, there was a key with a flower.
"Oh, that's a nice edition to the town," Regina said. She gave him the key and purple magic swirled in his eyes before spreading out.
"We got a botanical garden?" Henry asked. "Wow that's so cool how I knew that!"
"My father owns it, now we can get you some workers too to help you, some new people may suddenly switch to working for you. The curse will work it out, but they'll be happy and suited towards it.
"I do so love to garden, thank you mi amor," He said.
"Now to take care of the house. Would you prefer to be on the bottom floor here Daddy or upstairs?"
"Ooh can we move our room to the attic space, but more awesome?" Emma asked. "Your dad can have our room, and we'll like give him a bathroom separate from the girls." Regina nodded as a separate side stair appeared in the house. Their old room became like a guest room for her father to do with as he would.
"As an afterthought I moved Darien's room to next to the girls with the bathroom in between and an extra door for Rowan. Daddy is now where Darien's nursery used to be with a private bath, and Henry and Rowan are still the same," Regina told them. Lincoln started crying for no obvious reason they could see.
"I think it's time for a nap," Emma singsong as she picked up Lincoln who lay her head down. Xavieré tried to pretend like she hadn't heard that as Regina grabbed her. It was well pass time for their usual nap time. She protested, but time in her room with both her mothers well she didn't pass that up even though she tried to play. Once they were tucked in next to each other and Regina had seen to her father, they tackled Darien. She was by far the hardest, but she went down eventually.
"Rowan's good playing her own games, and Henry is reading, he glared at me in a you like fashion when I suggested an activity." Regina chuckled. "So why don't we get our room in order." Regina nodded as they headed up the new set up stairs. First thing Regina did was make a reading nook at the top to one side and a game nook at the top to the other side for Emma.
"Oh, you're an angel," Emma said kissing her, but then she didn't pull back as their bed suddenly appeared right in the middle of the room. Regina chuckled.
"First things first, sound proofing," Regina reminded Emma as she waved her hands. First their door shut and locked. Then she made it, so no one heard them.
"I'd say you were worried about your dad hearing, but let's face it those girls sleep too lightly sometimes." They both laughed before they kissed again, and Regina ran her hands over Emma's abs.
"God it has been way too long," Emma whispered as she kissed her neck. "I promise after this I'll let you nap."
"Oh, thank you, the sexiest thing you've said all day besides I'll handle the girls today," Regina quipped.
"Yeah, I'd say even more sexy things like I'll handle dinner, but I don't want to poison your dad when you just got him back, so instead I'm going clean," Emma said.
"Oh, aren't you talking so dirty today," Regina moaned playing along.
"Yup, I'm gonna get this take the trash out without being asked," Emma told her smirking. Regina gave an exaggerated moan on purpose, "Not only that, I'm going to cleaning the dining room chair, so you don't have too, then I'm gonna oil the hinges on your study door like you asked."
"Jesus Emma you're so sexy right now," Regina told her. At that point it was too much for Emma and she couldn't stop laughing anymore. Regina joined in for a minute as they just got the laugh out which made them more relaxed.
"God, I love you for going along with me sometimes."
"Only, because you're my idiot," Regina told her lovingly. Emma kissed her again and they were pulling clothes off when the doorbell rang. Not once, not twice, but several times until the girls were awake again and they knew that unless they were tired, Darien at least was going to stay up until they were cranky at bedtime.
"Man, I just wanna do very naughty things to you, why can't we get it done in this town?" Emma asked. Regina shrugged.
"If only I knew," Regina said as she found her shirt again, they headed back downstairs to get the person to stop. Maybe if they let the girls cry, they would settle themselves back to sleep. When they got to the front door and opened it Hook was at the door.
"Emma you woke up, come with me, I'll break whatever curse she has on you," Hook declared. Emma sighed deeply as Regina glared.
"Hook, there is no curse or whatever, so I'll just say this to you straight. We were not dating; I didn't even notice you weren't in town until you came back. Regina and I shared true love's kiss, look." She turned and kissed Regina with so much love that it blasted out of them right in front of him. She turned back around. "Please stop attacking my fiancé and pounding on our door, our kids are trying to sleep." She shut the door and thankfully he just walked away from the house.
"It's quiet," Regina said. She checked on Henry and Rowan they were still fine, though Henry had looked on curiously as usual.
"We'll go back to decorating then I guess," Emma shrugged as they crept upstairs, sometimes the girls were lying in wait. They made it pass the twins door but saw that her father was in Darien's room sitting with her in the rocking chair. She was sniffling and rubbing her eyes as he told her in Spanish how much she looked like Regina and how she would be his cielo too now as he rocked. She relaxed more and more as Regina crept away and wiped away her own tears.
"That looked beautiful too bad I don't understand Spanish," Emma shrugged. "Bet it was even cuter."
"He was telling her that she looked like me as a child, so she would be his cielo as well. It means my sky."
"Aww, that's so sweet, I'm so glad she gets a grandpa that loves her from the start." Regina nodded as she locked the door again and her spell went back up.
"Now it seems we got lucky, where were we?" Regina pushed the bed up against the opposite wall from the door, and a square frame cut out of the roof to create a balcony facing the back yard naturally to her left, so they could enjoy breakfast sometimes alone, or she could sit outside and read away from her children. She put double doors up that folded back.
"Wait if you got that and with the rain, I need this," Emma said creating a fireplace with a fire already going directly across from it. Regina made a large rug roll out from the fireplace.
"For rug burn when you take me roughly from behind in front of that," She told her. Emma moaned at the thought. She added a hot tub to the west wall.
"So, I can fuck you there too," Emma said.
"Yeah, but it's gotta be a whole bathroom, not open to the room. I need my privacy in the bathroom." Emma noted it was their previous bathroom with double sinks and everything, and it didn't seem to take space from the attic which extended the length of the house.
"Now it's perfect," Emma said once they had a closet and the walls the right color, and the rest of their furniture back after adding a few more windows for light with curtains though because they never trusted Sydney ever.
"I just have more addition," Regina said. Emma turned around and Regina was sitting naked in a sex swing. "I'm feeling adventurous today."
"When are you not?" Emma said as she stripped and got on her knees for Regina. Regina smirked.
"So, you don't mind playing a game then?" Emma looked weary.
"The last one was torture," Emma said.
"But you enjoyed it no?" Regina asked. Emma clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth to remind Regina that, that was absolutely beside the point. "I mean if you don't want to play, I'll just get out of this swing.
"What stop of course I wanna play damn it, what are the rules?" Regina grinned.
"Glad you asked," Regina said and suddenly Emma was the one in the swing.
"Emma comes so many times she can't take it anymore, and just so you can't trick me, I am going to feel every one, and get so wet, that there will be plenty of juice for you to lick up when you're done." Emma shuddered and Regina did too.
"Good dear that's one but increase the intensity I barely felt it." Regina kissed her and pinched her nipples a little before backed up into a chair.
"You're not doing the giving?" Emma asked.
"Oh no, I won't touch at all," Regina replied. Emma pouted. "Tsk tsk no pouting if you want this, otherwise I'll turn myself away when I push my fingers inside myself." Regina did it to let her know she was serious.
"Oh, don't be mean, look, look I'm touching myself," Emma pleaded. Regina turned back around and watched Emma pleasuring herself.
"Eyes on me," Regina said. Emma snapped her eyes open and watched Regina teasing herself, she couldn't close her eyes now even if she wanted too. She came so hard even Regina's body visibly reacted.
"Two down, next one Em-ma," Regina grinned as she ran a finger over Emma collecting her wetness and bringing the finger to her mouth.
"Fuck me," Emma as she got wetter.
"Next one Ms. Swan, my tongue would like to taste you fully, but only if you behave."
"Regina that was already pretty intense I don't know…." Emma was cut off by Regina turning away with a dildo.
"Guess I'll just take care of myself like someone without a true love," Regina murmured.
"No, no," Emma cried as Regina moaned as wet noises filled the air. "No, I'm sorry let me see your face please." Emma started touching herself again and only when Regina heard wet noises from her did, she turn around pull the dildo out. She stood up and let Emma lick up her wetness and that was all she needed to send her into orgasm number four. She was breathing hard now, and her body was relaxed.
"Regi…" Emma got out as Regina kissed her.
"I still think you have two more in you," Regina told her. "We both know you can come harder."
"No, no I can't just let me love you." Regina just smirked as she threw the dildo to the side.
"You don't believe me; I think I'll give you a little help this time since I'm so weak in the face of your beauty." She settled between Emma's legs easily. "Would you like my help darling?"
"I feel like I'm gonna regret it if I say no," Emma groaned. Regina just smiled at her as she lowered herself down and used her tongue. It took a little longer now, but she coaxed a particularly strong orgasm out of Emma.
"Re…God," Was all Emma managed.
"Again, I prefer Reggie or Regina," Regina reminded her as she kissed her way up. "Ready for round two?"
"Regina you said until I can't take it anymore," Emma pouted. She tried to poke her lip out even as she was breathing hard.
"I think you can still take it; shall I prove it to you?" Emma whimpered but she nodded, because damn it if she wouldn't regret saying no to Regina right now. Regina nodded and gently pushed a strapless strap on into Emma. One end was already inside of her and the other in Emma, but this one was more suited to Emma's needs than her own from the vacation.
"I made that while you were out, thought we would get some use out of it soon, and I was right." Regina was gentle at first.
"Oh God harder," Emma cried, and Regina obliged giving her all until Emma came so hard her, hands release from the hand holds and she would have fallen back if Regina hadn't caught her.
"I'm so done," Emma cried. Regina chuckled and transported them to the bed.
"Was fantasizing about that all week," Regina whispered as she cuddled up to Emma in the bed. They cuddled, but Regina couldn't fall asleep although Emma technically did.
