This chapter is for Lanafan7151977 with the prompt: "Snow and David get turned into kids and Emma and Regina take care of them until they turn back."

Emma rubbed her temples for what had to be the 50th time in the last hour. Snow and David were trying to talk to her, but she really didn't want to listen. They kept insisting that they really needed Emma to watch Neal for the night, but Emma insisted that she and Regina had plans.

Of course, this didn't matter to them. As far as they were concerned, Emma dating Regina was only short-term, and would be over with soon anyway. Then she could go back to dating Hook and get her happily ever after.

No one seemed to have noticed the engagement ring on Regina's finger.

"I don't see why you can't just watch him for an hour," Snow said. "It's not even that big of a deal, Emma. All we're asking for is for you to help us out."

"And I already told you that Regina and I have plans," Emma snapped back. "I promised her that tonight would be just for us. Even Henry agreed to get out of the house for the night to give us time alone."

David sighed. "But-"

"No," Emma said strongly. "That is not how this works. You two are acting like Neal! Always assuming that you're going to get what you want just because you ask for it."

"Emma!" Snow exclaimed. "We are nothing like Neal. He's only a year old."

"Exactly," Emma said through clenched teeth, looking away from them both. "I swear sometimes you two act as old as he does. You might as well be that age!"

Silence followed her statement, causing Emma to sigh. She loved her parents, she really did, and it wasn't her intent to hurt them. "Look, I'm sorry-"

She stopped talking at the sight of her parents. Or really, the lack of her parents. They were gone. "What the heck?" Emma asked, getting out of her chair. She walked around the desk, and stopped cold at seeing the two toddlers staring up at her.

At first Emma was confused, and then she looked closer. The one had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, and the other had black hair and eyes just like Emma's.

"Oh no," Emma said. "What have I done?"


The first thing that Emma did was get the toddlers dressed in clothes that were their own size. The station had an extra room full of clothes of all sizes just in case a person suddenly showed up in the town not having any idea of where they were. Enchanted Forest clothes didn't tend to blend in very well.

Once the toddlers were dressed, Emma picked up one in each arm and poofed to the mansion. Regina had taken the afternoon off to work from home. She had been doing that more and more lately after the whole deal with Greg and the electric shock. She wasn't entirely ready to be around people yet.

Hearing the sound of Emma's boots coming down the hallway, Regina put down her pen and smiled. That smile quickly disappeared as she saw the toddlers that Emma was holding.

"You seem to have little humans attached to your body," Regina said, standing up and walking over to Emma. "Care to explain?"

Emma bit her lip and looked down at her feet guiltily. The toddlers felt Emma's discomfort and began to fuss, squirming to be let down by the distressed woman.

Regina quickly poofed a playpen into her office and took the toddlers from Emma before placing them inside. They instantly began playing with the toys, all feelings of distress forgotten.

"Emma?" Regina prodded, squeezing her arm gently. "What's going on?"

"Those aren't normal toddlers," Emma mumbled. "They're my parents who I accidentally turned into toddlers because they were acting like it and I snapped."

Regina covered her mouth to keep from laughing. "Not that I am proud of you for turning them into younger versions of themselves, but I am quite impressed."

"I don't know how I did it!" Emma exclaimed. "Much less how to turn them back. How do I turn them back?"

"Relax," Regina said soothingly. "It's not even that hard."

She walked over to pick up David, but paused. "Oh dear."

"What?" Emma asked, hurrying over. "What happened? What's wrong? Does he have an extra limb or something?"

Regina laughed. "Will you calm down? He just needs to be changed."

"Oh," Emma said. "Well I'm just gonna let you handle that one." She slowly backed away from the playpen.

Regina rolled her eyes and picked up David. "You're a pain in the ass, you know that?"

Emma laughed. "I know. We could change him back right now, no changing required."

"Yes because I'm sure he would love being changed back with wet pants and no recollection of peeing himself," Regina said sarcastically.

"Fine," Emma said. "But in the meantime, I'm changing Snow back."

Regina nodded and left the room with David. "I'll change him back when he's done being changed."

Emma picked up Snow and set her on the ground. She got rid of the playpen before turning her attention back to her mother. She closed her eyes, and hoped for the best.

"Emma?" Snow asked. "Why are your eyes closed and your hands are pointed towards me? And why am I in the mansion?"

A shout came from upstairs, and Emma winced. David must have been changed back, and wasn't pleased. "It's a long story."
