This chapter is for angie with the prompt: "Emma and Regina are best friends, co-parenting Henry (robin and hook are already out of the pic) and have feelings for each other. One night they act on these feelings (could be slightly buzzed) but don't talk about it, pretending nothing happened because they're scared. Two months later Regina finds out she's pregnant (magic is powerful in that way), tells Emma, and happy ending.

"You know, for two women who hated each other, we've come a long way," Emma said, sipping her cider. She knew that Regina had put something alcoholic in it, but she honestly didn't mind. After all, it was called liquid courage.

"I can agree with that," Regina said. "I went from trying to kill you to co-parenting with you. I'd say that's quite a leap."

Emma laughed. "Agreed. I'm glad you're not trying to kill me anymore."

"Yes well, I've come to be rather fond of you," Regina said. "Can't kill the only person who puts up with me on a daily basis."

"I don't put up with you," Emma said. "I chose to be your best friend."

"And that's how I knew you were crazy," Regina said. She took a sip of her cider, enjoying the warmth that quickly spread through her body.

"I am not crazy," Emma pouted.

Regina just raised an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

Emma just rolled her eyes. They sat together in comfortable silence until both of their glasses were drained. If Emma was honest with herself, she felt buzzed. "I should probably head home."

"Are you sure you should be driving?" Regina asked.

"I've had worse," Emma said, standing up. She swayed lightly, taking a moment to regain her balance. "I'm okay."

"You are not," Regina said, pushing herself off of the couch and swaying as well. She hadn't realized how drunk she was as well.

"I need to go home or my parents will throw a fit," Emma said, stepping towards the door. Her knees slightly buckled and Regina quickly reached over to catch her. Emma straightened back up and turned around to look into Regina's eyes. Regina's eyes were beautiful. How had she never realized that before?

"Emma?" Regina asked. "Are you okay?"

Instead of answering, Emma pulled Regina to her in a passionate kiss. After a second of shock, Regina unfroze and returned the kiss with an equal amount of passion. They broke apart, panting.

"Perhaps we should take this somewhere else," Emma whispered.

Regina nodded before grabbing Emma's hand and leading her upstairs. "I can think of a place."

The next week passed as if nothing had happened. Both Regina and Emma had woken up the next morning hung-over and instantly had known that what had happened between them had been a mistake. A mistake that could ruin everything.

So they had continued as if nothing had happened. Both were scared to say anything to the other because neither was ready for any kind of commitment. Their friendship was on the line.

If anyone noticed them acting differently towards each other, no one said anything. Everyone operated under the impression that Emma and Regina were just best friends and nothing more. Nothing would ever change between them. Right?

Regina groaned from her bed as she felt another wave of nausea hit her. This had been happening every morning for the past few weeks and it was really starting to grate on her nerves. Why couldn't she just get one morning off?

"Mom?" Henry called tentatively. "Should I make my own breakfast? I don't want to be late for school."

"No, I'll get it," Regina said. "Just go downstairs, I'll be there in a second." Several beats passed before Henry finally went downstairs. Sighing, Regina got out of bed and ran straight to the bathroom, throwing up her dinner from the night before.

After she was done, Regina flushed the toilet and brushed her teeth to get the taste out of her mouth. She splashed water on her face before walking downstairs, ready to make Henry's breakfast. She would just be late to work. Again.

"Are you okay?" Henry asked. "You didn't sound too good when I came into your room."

Regina managed a weak smile. "I'm fine Henry. Don't you worry about me. Just have a little stomach bug is all."

"Are you sure it's a stomach bug?" Henry asked. "You've been throwing up for awhile now, and stomach bugs never last that long."

Regina shrugged. "Food poisoning then."

Henry shook his head. "Would have been gone in a day."

"Well then what are you suggesting?" Regina asked.

"You could be pregnant," Henry said, taking a bite of toast. "All of the signs are there. Morning sickness, mood swings, that glow."

"I am not pregnant," Regina said. "I made sure that wouldn't happen a long time ago."

"Yeah but True Love can fix anything," Henry said.

"Robin isn't in the picture anymore, so how would that happen?" Regina asked.

Henry got up and put on his backpack. "I wasn't talking about Robin." Before Regina could say anything else, Henry was already out of the house.

Biting her lip, Regina considered her possibilities. She could just take the test to humor Henry and show him that he was wrong. Then again, what if he was right?"

"This is ridiculous," Regina said. She poofed a couple pregnancy tests into her hand before storming up to the bathroom. No way was she going to let fear win. Now all she had to do was hope for the best.

"You were right," Regina said as Henry walked in the door.

"What?" Henry asked. "What was I right about?"

Regina held up the pregnancy tests she had taken. "I took all 3 of these. Every one of them came up positive. So I guess you were right."

Henry clapped excitedly. "I've always wanted a younger sibling. Just wait until we tell Emma tonight at dinner!"

Regina's eyes widened. "No! You can't tell her."

"Why not?" Henry asked. "She's part of our family, and she should know that there's a new member on the way. Speaking of which, who's the father?"

"I can't tell you," Regina said.

"You mean you don't know?" Henry asked.

"Of course I know!" Regina scolded. "I just can't tell you for this person's reputation in the town."

"It'll leak eventually that you're pregnant," Henry pointed out. "You might want to tell Emma before she hears it from someone other than you."

"She doesn't need to know tonight," Regina said. "I'll tell her when I see fit."

Henry went to argue, but just then the doorbell rang. He ran off to answer it, and Regina sighed in relief. "Saved by the bell." She started to think about how everything was going to change now. And what Emma's reaction was going to be. If Regina ever told her.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked, shaking Regina's shoulder slightly.

Regina jumped. "I'm fine. Just zoned out there for a second."

Emma looked at Regina skeptically. "My superpower just went off. Want to tell the truth now?"

"Not now," Regina said.

"Why not?" Emma asked.

Henry looked back and forth between them. Tension was rising quickly in the room. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. "Mom's pregnant!"

"Henry Daniel Mills!" Regina exclaimed.

"I couldn't take it anymore!" Henry shouted. He took a deep breath, calming down. "You two have a nice talk. I'm gonna go to my room before you kill me."

Regina glared after Henry as he ran from the room. Finally she just sighed and rested her head in her hands.

"So," Emma said awkwardly. "Is it true?"

Regina slowly nodded.

"Okay," Emma said. "Who's the father?"

"There is no father," Regina said, still covering her face. "It's you."

Emma's jaw dropped. "What? That's not humanly possible. I mean, it can't be. Right?"

Regina just shrugged. "Magic."

"Magic," Emma repeated. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She and Regina were going to have a baby together. That was a crazy thought.

Regina peeked hesitantly through her fingers to see Emma's reaction. She didn't appear to be freaking out. Then again, she wasn't jumping for joy either. Sighing, Regina covered her face fully again.

Emma reached over and gently pulled at Regina's hands. "Hey. Look at me."

Regina slowly put down her hands and looked at Emma. "I won't make you do anything you don't want to. If you don't want to have anything to do with this child I won't hold it against you-"

Regina," Emma said, cutting her off. "I'm not going anywhere. I don't see what we did as a mistake, and I definitely don't see this child as an accident. Maybe this was supposed to happen in order to bring us closer together."

"I don't want you tied to me because of this," Regina said.

"I'll be tied to you because I chose to be," Emma said. "I want to help with this baby and I want to be in its life. Nothing will change my mind. We're going to get through this together. Okay?"

Regina smiled and nodded. "Okay."
