Disclaimers::: I do not own OUAT or it's characters, just my colorful imagination. Wo our lovely ladies finally mated and married in the way of the dragon. Let's see how everyone reacts to their joining. :) yes more dragon babies… Two sisters pregnant… Deal with it. Lol

###############

Regina felt as if she were on cloud nine right now, laying there in Emma's arms, basking in the aftermath of their mating. She felt so incredibly warm inside, knowing exactly what was happening and hoping it was not a dream. That she was going to finally get to experience pregnancy. She was so completely in love with her dragon, and she felt whole now while she snuggled with her Emma.

Emma chuckled knowingly as she kissed Regina's abdomen, loving the life growing inside her. "It's real, my Queen. You're having my baby. I love you so much." She kissed her deeply as she held her in her arms.

She hummed happily. "Our baby." Regina smiled, biting her lip. "I love the way it sounds. Our baby." She sighed, feeling very content and happy right now. Suddenly, she realized she was feeling hungry. She felt as if they'd worked up an appetite.

Emma chuckled knowingly when she saw the look in her wife's eyes. "Let's go get something to eat." Her eyes twinkled happily as they got up, magically got themselves cleaned up and dressed as they left in a cloud of smoke.

They'd decided to go to Regina's mansion and while Regina wanted to cook them a meal, Emma wanted them to cook together. "We will do everything together now. We're a team and you're my mate, my Queen, my everything." She'd murmured while kissing Regina's neck.

The brunette moaned and smirked knowingly. "Sounds good to me dear. You do the vegetables and salad. I will take care of everything else."

"Deal." Emma grinned as she set about getting the cutting board and started cutting the vegetables and making the salad for them. She made more than plenty. She also set the table and got glasses of water for them, humming happily as she did this.

Regina smiled as she listened to Emma humming while she made dinner for them. She could see how happy her Sheriff was. She felt the exact same way. After she put dinner in the oven, she moved to join Emma, waving her hand as she turned the music on and began dancing with her blonde.

Emma moved in sync with Regina, matching the steps beautifully. It was clear Emma knew how to dance. She dipped her Queen and kissed her, bringing her back up as they continued dancing.

Regina was very impressed that her Sheriff could dance. She loved being with her like this, spending time with her. She giggled when Emma dipped her like that. It caused her eyes to darken with need. But she had to restrain herself. They had all the time in the world now. When Emma kissed her, her breath hitched. She loved how romantic Emma was being. Before she could say something, they heard a throat clearing and both sets of eyes turned to look at the source of the sound that had interrupted them.

They saw the amused smiles on the faces of Maleficent and Zelena. Emma licked her lips and smiled. "Hi."

Regina giggled. She usually didn't do that, but she did. She still was feeling a natural high as she looked at their guests. "Dinner will be ready soon." She smiled.

Zelena smirked as she looked at her sister. "So you've got something special cooking in the oven?" She wriggled her eyebrows suggestively.

Emma snorted at the double meaning behind Zelena's words.

Maleficent chuckled. She knew what Zelena was hinting at. "Your sister most certainly does." She winked as they moved to sit down.

They had so much to catch up on as a family. Zelena told them about life in Oz and what it was like for her growing up. Regina shared some things with her sister about herself. Maleficent spoke about hers in general and how she became who she was. Emma proceeded to share her life story as well, giving Regina a glimpse into her life in the foster care.

While they were talking and the oven beeped, signaling that dinner was ready, Emma got out some wine for herself and for her mother to enjoy while Regina got their dinner out of the oven. She was happy to have some adult time with her family before their son came home from staying with his friends. Regina smiled at that thought. Her hand fell to her flat abdomen knowing there was life growing inside her. They were a family now. Even more so now that she and Emma had finally shared a true love's kiss. And now she and Emma were mated.

Regina brought their dinner over to them, smiling at Maleficent, glad that Emma had found her mother and happier still that she'd worked things out with her sister, Zelena. She liked it so much better when they were not at war with each other anymore. She then sat down next to Emma and chuckled softly. "Henry is going to be in for a surprise when he comes home on Sunday." She smirked as they began eating.

Emma chuckled knowingly, having seen her wife's thoughts and knowing what brought them on. She kissed her wife. "And there's plenty of surprises in store for him too." She winked and shared a smile with her mother and sister in law.

Maleficent smiled knowingly. "Ahh yes, the fact your family is growing. And the knowledge you are not a Charming." She smirked. "I look forward to meeting my grandson."

"He will be surprised that his mothers and I have worked out our differences." Zelena smiled. "I wonder how he will handle the fact we both are giving him siblings." She had a wicked smile on her face when she said this.

Emma shook her head and smiled. "Well I was never able to connect with those damned Charmings and now we know why. I don't think they have grasped it just yet. But they will soon enough." She then looked at the sisters. "It might take the kid some time to get used to it, but I know he will be happy knowing he's not going to be an only child now. I know the circumstances are not normal, but we are a family." She winked. "He's going to have to get used to the idea that his Grandmother is Maleficent. And that he has another aunt out there. I cannot wait to get Lily home soon."

Maleficent smiled at her daughter. "I've been waiting a long time for this. I just wish there was a way I would be able to join you when we bring your sister home."

Emma recalled the time when she and Henry had gone with Gold to find his son. "Maybe there is a way. Gold had made a potion to put on his son's scarf and was able to move across the townline. I know what he used to make it from the memories of his that I still have." She looked at Maleficent, remembering when she'd given her the indigo baby rattle. "Lily's purple rattle, if we use it as an anchor for you, that might work. You would need to hold onto that until we get back here and then give it to Lily." She suggested.

Regina nodded. "That should work. I know Emma is able to move between Storybrooke and the outside world easily. Probably because she and her sister both grew up in that world. I don't know. Maybe there's something else at work here."

Maleficent nodded. "I still don't like it that my girls had to grow up in this world. We're dragons. We're magical beings, immortals. This world was not ready for them, for us. Well, that is, until now." She drawled. "I cannot wait to get my girls together and to have them BOTH in my arms soon."

Emma smiled as she reached over and took her mother's hand in her own. "And we'll make sure that happens, Mom." She promised.

"Let's go to my vault. I have everything we need to create potions." Regina replied.

Zelena grinned wickedly. "Ooh Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble!" She winked as everyone turned to look at her.

Emma snickered when she heard what the redhead said.

Regina smiled. "Yes exactly dear sister." They all left and arrived at her vault and Maleficent helped Regina and Emma put the potions together, making several other kinds of potions just in case they needed to use something should they face some trouble.

Zelena hummed as she watched them put their finishing touches. "Am I to assume I will be going with you lovely ladies? Or should I stay here and hang out with Cruella and Ursula as well as our residential guard dog Ruby?"

Regina chuckled at what Zelena called Ruby, knowing how she hated being called a dog. "I don't know, will you give us any trouble? Can we trust you to behave?" She smirked.

Maleficent was amused by Regina's question. "You're worried about her behaving? She isn't the only one you should be worried about." Her eyes had a mischievous glint to them.

Zelena had a truly wicked smile on her face. "Fine, I will stay here and amuse myself with juggling some fireballs…"

Emma shared a look with Regina, knowing she was kidding. She chuckled. "This road trip will definitely not be dull. Not at all." She made some calls and got the information she needed. "Ruby will keep an eye on Henry for us. And Regina, you won't need to worry about my car, I'm renting a van for our trip. Zelena is coming with us. I don't trust those Charmings not to try anything with her in our absence." She wanted to be able to have the Mills sisters in her sights at all times especially since they both were carrying something precious inside them.

"Looks like it's all settled. When do we leave?" Maleficent asked.

"First thing in the morning. Right after breakfast." Emma smiled.

Zelena smiled at Regina. "Lovely."

##########

After letting Cruella and Ursula know what was going to happen, they agreed to stick around in Storybrooke, taking charge of keeping tabs of everything going on. Cruella dispatched some animals to report to her on anything going on, those animals would act as their eyes and ears. The Charmings would not be able to pull a fast one on them while they were out if town. They wanted to make sure to cover all their bases.

Granny still needed to get used to the fact Cruella and Ursula were there, but she trusted Ruby and noticed how her granddaughter was hanging out with them more often.

Ruby wanted to get to know them better and felt more secure knowing they wouldn't let anything bad happen to Henry or to Emma and her unborn children. Ruby would also keep her ears open should Snow plan something. The wolf had promised not to say Anything to reveal what Emma and her own family were doing.

##########

Morning came around and they'd had their breakfast at Granny's while Granny made sure to have two baskets packed for their trip, wanting to make sure they were well fed and hydrated for their trip.

Just before they were about to leave, the Charmings came inside. Emma groaned at this, not wanting to deal with them. Seeing them, tended to put her in a bad mood. She didn't need this at all.

Ruby sensed this. She moved over to the Charmings. "Hey Snow, I need to talk with you about something very important. Come on over here…" She ushered them into the kitchen, wanting to distract them enough so Emma and the others could take off.

"I want to talk with you about something too, but I need to stop Emma. She has no idea what she's getting herself into and I get it that she's upset but she's taking it out in the wrong person. I don't deserve this treatment…" She was rambling on.

Ruby pretended to listen to her, but actually was smiling inwardly when she heard Emma and her family leave the diner. She kept the Charmings there until she no longer heard the car.

###########

Emma laughed. "Glad to have Ruby in our corner…" Some of them had already used the potion that would keep them safe until they returned to Storybrooke with Lily.

Regina smirked. "At least she was smart enough to distract those idiots. Otherwise we all know what would have happened."

"What would have happened?" Zelena asked.

Maleficent and Emma both smirked at her question. "I would have given them hell." Emma replied. "They still think I am their daughter and are not willing to accept the fact Maleficent is my mother. I'll show them when we get back." She winked through the rearview mirror as they finally crossed the town line. She smiled, knowing she was looking forward to being reunited with Lily. They'd been through so much together. She touched her birthmark, thinking about her sister as she did this.

Maleficent was intrigued by this world that her daughters had grown up in. She kept her eyes peeled, taking in the scenery and the sights as they continued on their trip.

Zelena and Regina talked, discussing their pregnancies and knew they would be there for each other with Emma and Maleficent helping them. They also knew they needed to talk with Emma and Mal soon about what to expect with their babies' other parent being a dragon.

Regina decided she wasn't going to put off that one question that was burning strong inside her. "With Emma being a dragon, and Henry being her son, how will that affect him?"

Emma perked up at this question and saw how Zelena was also curious as well.

"Yes, how will that affect our babies?" The redhead asked.

Maleficent smiled. "I'm glad you asked. My girls' other parent was not human when they were conceived. Henry's father was human. But my daughter's DNA is much more stronger than humans. Especially a human like Henry's father. The older he gets, the more draconic his DNA will get. But you two are powerful witches. Those babies were conceived when Emma was in touch with her dragon. You have a choice, be made immortal and you will be able to give birth to them in any form. Preferably as dragons. Don't, and their births will be very hard on you physically."

Emma didn't want them to have a difficult pregnancy. "I want them to have a choice. I know they can shapeshift and could give birth as dragons rather than in their human forms. But should they want to be immortal, that should be their decision."

Regina knew what she wanted. "I want to be around with you forever. I don't want to not be a part of our children's lives at some point in the future. I do jot want to miss out on anything since you're my true love. I know we would not be able to live without one another."

Emma smiled and nodded. "I want that too, my Queen. I want you to be happy and to have everything you've ever wanted."

Zelena nodded and smiled. "I want that as well. That would give me more time to find whomever I am meant to be with."

Maleficent nodded, not surprised that they wanted the gift of immortality. "We will take care of that as soon as we get back with Lily."

Emma grinned as she took Regina's hand into her own. She was very much looking forward to doing this with her wife and to helping Zelena realize her potential. They finally reached their destination after making two stops and filling up the gas. "This is the address…" She pulled into a parking lot, seeing how rundown the place looked. It had been vandalized multiple times over the years.

Regina and Zelena grimaced when they saw the place. "Lily lived here? Are you sure this is the right place?" Regina asked.

Both Emma and Maleficent inhaled deeply and nodded. "The scent is faint, but she was definitely here. Let's see if we can find out where she went. I don't think she lives here anymore. Someone might know where she is…" They all got out of the SUV and eyed the building.

"Let's find out darling." Maleficent was growing impatient.

They moved inside the building, noticing the bad shape it was in as they found Lily's old apartment. They could hear voices coming from inside. Emma knocked. They heard silence. She knocked again and heard sounds of panic behind the door.

A man came to the door. "What do you want?! Yer not cops?" The man looked very sleazy, like he could have been a pimp or a gambler or even a pusher."

Emma could smell alcohol and weed and other drugs. She looked past the man into the room and saw he had buddies who were gambling and using drugs. "I'm looking for Lily Page. She's my sister. Have you seen her?"

The man sneered. "Yer not cops? Maybe you an' yer friends would like ta play strip poker with us? Maybe shoot some lines… If yer all ask nicely… We could all play."

Emma felt disgust at what he was asking. She grabbed his throat. "My sister! Where is she?!" She growled when he tried to shut the door on her arm, not wanting to cooperate with them. Emma grunted as she pushed him back, throwing the door so hard it broke off its hinges. The men jumped up and grabbed their knives. One man had a gun and was looking for his magazine.

The women stormed into the apartment and they each confronted a man or two. There were only two other women there who were there just to pleasure the men.

Emma slammed the man against the wall, smirking when the plaster broke and fell. The man whimpered in surprise. "That bitch is gone! She wouldn't compromise on the payment plan. I kicked that slut out! She's a freak!"

Maleficent roared. "THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!" Her eyes glowed with fury.

Emma smirked when she saw her mother starting to dragon out. She threw the asshole towards her mother, knowing she wanted his blood. She then grabbed the other man who reached out for the magazine for his gun and stopped him, killing him on the spot as she changed and devoured him.

Regina and Zelena laughed and made sure the others no longer had knives or other weapons. The men started shouting when they used magic. They were surprised to realize they were able to use magic in this world.

"I think it's because of the babies. They're magical." Regina realized as she formed a fireball while the four of them destroyed the men and then left.

They had a natural high as they left the scene of the crime after making sure everything was destroyed.
