This chapter is for swanqueen927654 with the prompt: "King George wants revenge against Charming, so he has place a bomb in the house of David and Snow. Once the bomb exploded, only Snow and Regina are there. Emma, David and the kids are on the way home."

"We should do this more often," Snow said, pulling another cookie sheet out of the oven. "I mean, I wish that we had been on better terms before, but I'm glad that we are now."

"I suppose that it is my fault," Regina said apologetically. "If there's one thing I do better than most people, it's holding a grudge."

Snow laughed. "I don't blame you. You trusted me with a secret, and I betrayed your trust. Resulting in the death of your first love actually. Go me."

Regina smiled. "Yes, go you."

They worked together in comfortable silence before Regina froze and tilted her head as if listening to something. "Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Snow asked. "It almost feels too quiet without our spouses and the kids around."

Emma and David had taken Henry, Neal, and little Eva for a day at the park while Regina and Emma stayed behind and cooked. Regina wasn't up for much activity being 5 months pregnant, so Snow had stayed behind as well to keep her company.

"There's a beeping noise," Regina said, walking towards it.

"A beeping noise?" Snow questioned, following closely behind her.

"Stay there," Regina commanded, holding out her hand to stop Snow from moving forward. "We don't know what it is."

"You shouldn't be the one investigating then," Snow protested, grabbing her arm. "I'll go look."

Regina rolled her eyes but obediently stepped back and let Snow walk towards the unusual noise.

Snow walked into her bedroom, frowning, as she got closer to Eva's crib. What was going on? She lifted up Eva's blanket and gasped at seeing the flashing red light attached to a very well made bomb. The countdown marked only 15 seconds before the whole thing blew.

"Regina we need to get out of here now!" Snow shouted, running back and grabbing Regina's hand.

"What's going on?" Regina demanded, pulling against Snow's grip.

"There's a bomb in Eva's crib," Snow said, pulling Regina down the stairs of the apartment. Once they reached the bottom, Snow led Regina to a spot under the stairs, crouching down so they could huddle close together for protection.

"Why aren't we leaving then?" Regina asked. "We aren't much safer down here than up there!"

"We didn't have time to make it out," Snow said. "I thought we could use some cover."

Regina went to argue, but was cut off as the bomb went off, letting loose an explosion that rocked the whole building. Regina and Snow both winced, grabbing onto each other and holding on for dear life. Debris fell from upstairs, but nothing hit them. They were safe.

"What was that?" Emma asked, spinning around to look for the source of the giant noise that they had heard. It had sounded like a cannon had gone off, but that clearly wasn't the case. Black smoke was filling the sky in an all too familiar direction.

"That looks like it's coming from the apartment," David said slowly. "Which would really not be good."

"You think?" Emma said sarcastically. "You round up the kiddos and drive back. I'm going to poof and see if I can find out what's going on."

David nodded and went to the swings to grab Eva and Henry. Neal was off with a group of his little friends in the sandbox, which Emma knew meant that it would take David awhile to get him to leave. She didn't have time to wait.

What scared her most was the thought of what that loud noise and smoke could have meant. Because if she didn't know any better, she could have sworn that the noise reminded her of a bomb.

"Regina?" Emma called frantically, coughing as dust floated around her. The apartment was destroyed, but luckily no one had been inside when it had exploded. Or so the firefighters said when they walked through the building. No one was there.

But Emma knew differently. Regina wouldn't have wanted to leave the house, and Snow would have just agreed to stay with her no matter what. Chances are they had done something low-key, and then heard the bomb ticking. Emma had a feeling that Regina and Snow were still inside.

"Sheriff, there's no one in here," the lead firefighter protested. "We searched everywhere, there's no sign of the mayor or your mother."

Emma was just about to give up when she saw the purple sparks coming from a pile of rubble. It had gathered and closed off the underside of the staircase leading upstairs, which had also been destroyed.

"Wait!" Emma called to the firefighter. "Get someone to clear this rubble. Regina and Snow are in there!"

The firefighter sighed but called a group of his men to come help him move aside the pile of debris. When it was cleared away, and the dust had dissipated, Regina and Snow stepped out from under the stairs, completely unharmed.

Emma ran over to Regina and hugged her as tightly as possible, then leaned down and quickly kissed her stomach. "Are you both okay?" she asked, standing back up. "What happened?"

"There was a bomb in Eva's crib," Regina croaked, coughing. "It went off just as we got under the stairs."

"Thank goodness you weren't in the apartment," Emma said in relief. "Mom are you okay too?"

Snow nodded. "Just a little shaken up. I'll live."

"Good," Emma said, smiling at her. She took Regina's hand and pulled her outside, straight towards an ambulance.

Regina groaned as she saw where they were going. "How did I know that you were going to do this to me?"

Emma chuckled before pushing her towards the vehicle. "Just humor me. I want to make sure that both you and the baby are fine."

Regina smiled as she felt a kick from their little girl. "Trust me, she's fine. And definitely full of spirit."

Emma just smiled. "That's my girl."
