Regina took the money from her pocket and walked to the door to collect the pizza. She smiled to herself as she felt a buzz of happiness engulf her. How had she got so lucky? She truly felt genuinely contented for the first time in a long time.

She opened the door with a cheerful smile. When she placed a hand out to pay the pizza person she was greeted with the smarmy smile of Killian Hook. She looked at him blankly, shocked and unsettled to see him standing at her from door with a smirk on his face.

"You're Majesty." He said before nodding in Regina's direction. "I'm here to see Swan."

"You have some nerve" Regina spat out through clenched teeth, when she finally remembered how to speak.

"Listen I'm not here to argue with you I'm here to speak to Emma. So are you gonna go get the woman or do I need to come get her myself?"

"I'd like to see you try." Regina said as she crossed her arms across her chest and used her small body to block the door as much as possible.

Hook laughed at the sight of Regina in front of him. It was amusing to him that the former evil queen had become so soft. Regina Mills was far from the evil queen. "Listen I have no issues with you. Just get Emma."

"You listen to me." Regina said her face red with anger, if it wasn't for Emma she would have decked the dirty pirate in an instant. "Get away from my door before I use that grimey hook to rip you in two."

"Temper, temper mi lady." He teased.

"You've seen nothing of my temper, but if you don't leave right this minute so help me god, I will end you."

"Regina?" Emma said as she approached the door, unable to see who was causing the brunette so much anger.

"Emma" Regina said quietly, her body trembling in a mixture of fear, anger and love.

"Regina what's wrong?" Emma asked concerned at Regina's body language and fury.

"I.." Regina tried to answer but was cut off by the deep slurred voice of the man at the door.

"Nothing's wrong Swan. Just here to see you."

Emma's eyes went wide as they met Regina's. She was expecting to be eating pizza with her son and girlfriend about now, not dealing with her drunk ex-boyfriend.

Hook pushed against the door to see Emma, but Regina stepped in front of her blocking his view.

Regina turned back to address Emma. "Do you want to see him?" She asked her voice shaking and fearful. She really didn't want to know what Emma's answer would be.

"I don't know." Emma answered her voice cracking and tears building behind her eyes.

Regina's heart broke as Emma spoke. 'She didn't know' what did that even mean? Did she not know if she wanted to have a conversation with the man or did it go deeper than that? She felt her body tremble; terrified at the implications those simple words could have on her and Emma's future.

Emma saw the look of terror on Regina's face and realised just what the brunette was thinking. She reached out for the other woman and touched her still folded arm. "Regina. No" Emma said simply, the look she gave Regina containing a thousand unspoken words.

Regina met Emma's and saw the reassurance she needed, but it wasn't enough. She was terrified at what the pirate return meant for them.

"Hate to break up the private party here, but Emma I need to speak to you." Hook said in a huff, leaning against the pillar.

Emma kept a hold of Regina's arm as she addressed Hook. "You said enough to me the last time we spoke. I don't have anything more to discuss with you." Her voice was cold and emotionless.

"Don't be like that sweetheart, emotions were running high, I'd had a bit to drink. I didn't mean what I said. We can sort this out, can't we?"

"Don't you dare call me sweetheart. There's nothing to sort out, please leave. If you still want to speak I'll speak to you tomorrow when you're sober but if all you want to speak about is the possibility of us getting back together then I'd sooner you didn't waste either of our time."

"Maybe you could give us some privacy?" Hook addressed Regina.

Regina stepped back but Emma stopped her, holding her in place and tightening her hold of the other woman.

"Don't go." Emma instructed Regina before addressing Hook "if you have anything more to say to me then you can do so with Regina here."

"Ok fine. I still love you Swan and I'll do whatever it takes to get you back. We are good together."

"We were good together in the beginning, hell I don't even know if that's true anymore, and even before the baby happened we already became toxic. We aren't good for one another; we haven't been for a long time."

"So you're going to raise this" he said pointing to her stomach "alone?"

"She won't be alone, she has people who love and support her no matter what." Regina said honestly. Once she spoke her body tensed and her teeth clenched. How dare he try to say that Emma would be alone without him.

Emma rubbed Regina's arms to try and calm to brunette down. "Even if I was alone, me and you wouldn't work… Please just leave." Emma pleaded with the drunken man before her.

"This isn't over Swan. You and me we need each other." He said as he turned and stumbled down the path.

Emma stood opened mouth as she watched him leave, her body not functioning due to the shock of the situation.

Regina turned around and looked at the blonde uncertain as to what the silence meant.

"Are you ok?" Regina asked nervously.

"I'm fine." Emma answered uncertainly.

When there was another knock at the door Regina clenched her fist in answer, swinging the door open ready to smack the idiot man in the face.

"I've given you enough warning now get the fuck away from my house or I will rip you In two." Regina practically screamed.

"I'm ...sorry Madam Mayor." The terrified teen replied in fear as he stepped back from the door.

"I'm so sorry." Regina replied shocked to see someone other than Hook on her door step. "I thought you were someone else."

"Er, no just pizza." The boy replied relieved that the evil queen didn't intend to rip him in two.

"Right, I'm so sorry. Please accept my apology. Here" Regina handed over the pizza money with a generous tip. "Just wait a moment please." Regina walked into the kitchen and retrieved an extra twenty dollar bill before handing it to the pizza delivery guy. "Again I'm so sorry. Thank you for the pizza." She said with her best mayor smile.

Emma stood next to the door with arms full of pizza, a smile on her face laughing to herself. Regina would be annoyed with her but she was so happy to see the blonde smile that she simply rolled her eyes at the other woman.

Once the door was closed Emma let out a huge belly laugh, initially Regina was pissed but soon started laughing when she saw the adorable childlike face that Emma sported.

"It's not funny." Regina said through her own laughter.

"I can't believe you told the pizza guy you were going to rip him in two." Emma held her hand against her belly as her body shook with laughter.

"Ok get it all out now because we won't be talking about my run in with the pizza boy again." Regina warned.

"Oh Regina I won't let you live that down quite so easy. Also don't think I didn't hear you say 'fuck'." Emma teased with a smile. That soon finished when Regina's lips crashed against her own.

Emma kissed back as well as she good while holding a pile of pizza.

"Regina… about Hook."

"You don't need to explain. Let's have dinner and when Henry goes to bed we can discuss it further if you like?"

"Sounds good to me." Emma replied pecking Regina's lips a final time.

The trio sat at the dinner table and ate their dinner together. Both Henry and Emma begrudgingly took a few mouthfuls of side salad. After dinner the family tided up together before they played video games.

Emma was annoyed when Regina beat her for the third time so much so that she refused to play the game any further. Henry teased her for a little while until Regina asked him to stop not wanting to upset the pregnant woman further.

Once Henry was in bed the women changed into their pyjamas before settling on the sofa together. Regina sat in one corner with Emma laying against her side, Regina's arm resting over the blondes bump, running her fingers aimlessly over what she imagined to be the baby's foot.

"Did you want to talk about Hook?" Regina asked tentatively.

"Not really."

"Ok."

"Regina I don't want to talk about him because he's not worth the energy. I don't want to get back together with him. I have no interest in him in any way."

"You were together for a while I'd understand if you needed time to think things over." Regina tried her best to sound convincing.

Emma sat up and turned her body to face Regina. "Listen to me, I don't want him. I want you. ..Only you."

Regina's lip trembled as she tried to keep her emotions in check. Emma tried her best to get close enough to hug the brunette but her bump was making it near impossible. After a few huffs and puffs she finally managed to get close enough to hug the other woman awkwardly.

Regina smiled at the effort the blonde was making to get to her, she shifted her body slightly to give Emma more room and the pair wrapped their hands around one another.

"Emma?"

"Yes?"

"I only want you too."

"Of course you do, I know you love my puffy ankles and pregnancy waddle. I mean who could resist me?"

"You are pretty irresistible."

"I think you mean pretty AND irresistible."

"Oh and so modest too."

"I try."

"You are my very own Pingu." Said with a grin.

"I think Pingu was adorable."

"I think you are." Regina said before capturing Emma's lips with her own.

The women sat on the sofa kissing, hands roaming one another body freely.

Regina pulled back before resting her head against Emma's forehead. "I think we should tell your parents."

"Wow, way to kill the mood."

"I'm sorry I just think it's important that we don't keep our relationship a secret."

"Ok let's tell them. Shall we do it now?" Emma said kissing Regina's neck teasingly.

"Maybe, not right now." Regina moaned leaning her head to the side to allow Emma better access.

"So I think you promised me something tonight?"

"I have no idea what your alluding to Sheriff Swan."

"Oh I'm sure you don't Madam Mayor. Maybe I can help jog your memory?"

"Maybe you can?" Regina purred into the blonde's ear.

Emma kissed the woman harsher taking Regina's hand and placing under her vest top against her rock hard nipple. "You did that." Emma whispered into the brunette's ear before moving her hand down to the hem of her pyjamas bottoms, pulling the draw string open before moving Regina's hand inside and to her panties. "You did that too" she moaned as she felt Regina's fingers graze against her wetness.

Okay so I took a little detour from my original story. I never meant for the last chapter to be a cliff hanger but a few people including my wife thought that there would be someone at the door. That really wasn't my intention it was going to just be pizza, family fluff and a bit of smut.

Hook was always going to make an appearance in the story but I hadn't planned on it being just yet.

In regards to the Pingu reference do people actually know what Pingu is? I hope so, If not I'd recommend googling Pingu the penguin.

Thank you so much for the comments and encouragement, they are greatly appreciated.
