Yes that's right. Baby girl Swan-Mills is named after Lana's dog. She loves Lola so much she might as well be her daughter. Original prompt is at the bottom!
Labor was definitely something that Regina had not been ready for. She was pretty sure that she had broken something in Emma's hand, but Emma hadn't let go through all 12 hours.
Looking down, Regina couldn't help but smile at her new little bundle of joy. Lola Maria Swan-Mills was going to be the most spoiled baby that had ever lived. She had two loving mothers, and an older brother that couldn't wait to meet her.
Regina heard a knock at the door and looked up. Henry stood in the doorway, awkwardly bouncing on the balls of his feet. "You can come in Henry," Regina said, chuckling. Henry shyly smiled and walked in, stopping at the edge of the hospital bed.
Regina reached forward and ran her fingers through his hair. "Everything okay?" she asked. Henry just leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her.
"I could hear you," he mumbled into her hospital gown. Regina squeezed him before leaning back and lightly bringing his eyes to meet hers.
"I'm okay now," Regina said. "I'm sorry you had to hear all that. But you have a sister that came out of it all." Henry looked at his little sister. Regina saw something flash across his face, but she didn't know what it was.
Lola stirred in Regina's arms and opened her eyes. Henry smiled. "She got mine and Emma's eyes," he said.
Regina laughed. "Now I'm really screwed! I can't have 3 sets of puppy dog eyes on me at once." Henry laughed and reached out a finger. Lola reached out a hand and latched on, looking at her big brother with awe.
Regina and Henry both looked towards the door as a flash went off. Emma stood there, holding a camera. "You have no idea how beautiful that moment was," she said. Henry looked between his moms and decided that now would be a good time to leave and let them have their own time with Lola.
"I'm gonna go get something to eat," Henry said. He delicately removed his finger from Lola's grasp and left the room.
Henry knew that labor was not going to be pleasant for his mom. He'd read the baby books when Regina and Emma were both gone, so he knew a lot. But to hear your mom screaming in pain? That was something that he never wanted to ever hear again.
Walking outside, Henry headed towards the forest. It was a good spot for him to sit and think. Sure his sister was cute and everything, but she had just caused his mom 12 hours of excruciating pain.
"Henry!" someone called. Turning around, Henry saw Ruby walking towards him.
"Hi Ruby," Henry said.
"Shouldn't you be inside?" Ruby asked. "I heard that Lola has officially joined the world." Henry just nodded.
"I was in there already," he said. "I'm just going for a little walk and then I'll be back." He turned around and walked away, leaving Ruby staring after him.
Ruby headed inside and was met by Emma. "Hey Ruby," Emma said. "Have you seen Henry? He said he was going to get food, but I couldn't find him in the cafeteria."
"I just saw him outside. He said that he was going for a walk. Looked like he was headed for the forest," Ruby said.
"Stay here with Regina and Lola. Tell Regina that I'm going after Henry," Emma said. She walked out the door without waiting for a response, leaving Ruby to awkwardly head towards Regina's room.
Henry sat on a tree trunk in the middle of his favorite clearing. It was the best place for him to be able to escape and just think for a while.
"Henry?" Emma called, walking into the clearing. "What are you doing out here?"
"I heard her screaming ma," Henry said. "She was screaming in pain for 12 hours."
Emma sat down next to him and put her arm around his shoulders. "You were 14," she said, wincing. "I was so stressed out, and you didn't want to come out, and when you were finally ready you were facing the wrong way."
Henry looked at Emma with wide eyes. "14?" he asked. Emma nodded. "Well then I guess I shouldn't be mad at a baby for taking 12 hours when I was 14."
Emma just laughed. "You were mad at Lola for taking 12 hours to come out?" Henry blushed and nodded. "Kid I'm pretty sure your mom is going to love you even more when she hears about this." Grabbing Henry's hand, Emma poofed the two of them back to the hospital.
They walked together into Regina's room, and Regina sighed in relief. Ruby quickly left the room. "Is everything okay?" Regina asked.
"Henry was being a little protective of his mother," Emma said, ruffling up Henry's hair. He swatted her hand away.
"Sorry for running off," he said. He looked down at his feet.
"Come here Henry," Regina said. Henry obediently walked over. "I believe that someone would like to meet you," she said.
Henry's eyes widened. "I don't want to hurt her," he said.
Regina just smiled. "You won't. Just copy how my arms are right now and you'll be fine." Henry nodded and arranged his arms the way Regina had hers. Regina leaned forward and put Lola into his hold.
After a few seconds of fussing, Lola settled down and snuggled into her brother's warmth. "Hi Lola," Henry whispered. "I'm your big brother. And I'm gonna protect you the same way I do my moms. I promise."
Original prompt from Jesson: Can you imagine a chapter with a baby (or some babies) Swan-Mills and her fluffy moms? And why not from point of view Henry…
Thank you so much for the prompt! I tried to get it as close to what you wanted as possible while doing things my own way. Did anybody catch where I got Lola's middle name? :)
