Chapter named after this song: Bright by Echosmith

"You sprinkle star dust on my pillow case.

It's like a moonbeam brushed across my face.

Nights are good and that's the way it should be."

When Maleficent woke up the next morning she came downstairs to laughter and music. There was also this heavenly smell coming from the kitchen.

She walked into finding Regina and Lily making breakfast.

"Hey what is it that smells so good?" Mal asked as she placed a kiss on Regina's lips.

"We're making blueberry pancakes your favorite." Lily smiled.

"Seriously?"

"Yes!" Regina exclaimed.

They all sat down to eat breakfast. They ate in silence. After that they all helped doing the dishes.

"So what are you guys up to today?" Lily asked.

"We have a time to check on your baby sibling." Mal answered sweetly.

"Oh." It was barely a whisper.

"Do you wanna come with us?" Regina asked biting her bottom lip.

Lily debated this in her head. Should she follow her newly found "parents" to check on a sibling that will probably have a better life than she had had? It didn't sound positive to her but she wanted to spend more time with her parents and she wanted her sibling to know her. She didn't want to abandon her sibling like her parents had abandoned her in the past. She wanted to be a good role model for that little nugget.

"Yeah…sure."

"Okay, good."

A half hour later they were at the hospital. Dr. Whale came up to them and greeted them.

"So what are we doing today?" He asked.

"We're checking on the baby." Regina smiled at Mal.

"If it's healthy. Do you wanna know the sex or?"

Regina and Mal looked at each other and smiled.

"Yes."

"Okay then."

"This might be a little cold." Mal cringed a little.

Dr. Whale looked at the screen and then moved back to the parents to be.

"Okay so I got some news."

"Something is wrong isn't it?" Regina looked horrified.

"No no. You're expecting twins." Regina's face went blank and Mal's smile got even wider.

"Twins?!" Regina questioned.

"Yes. One and two." Dr. Whale pointed to the screen in front of them.

"Twins Regina! Twins!" Mal exclaimed.

"They are both healthy so that is good." Dr. Whale pointed out while Regina was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that she's becoming a mother two twins.

Four kids Regina. FOUR! And you didn't want any kids before and now you're gonna be a mother of four. I can't do this, this is too much. I can't breath, oh my god. No Regina get your shit together you can do this. I know you can. It's not like you're alone in this. Lily is a grownup she doesn't need your help. She's old enough to take care of herself. Henry also has Emma so she will help you with him and then for the twins. You're not alone you have Mal. For fucks sake Regina you can do this.

Regina smiled awkwardly.

After their visit with Dr. Whale they went to get lunch at Granny's. There they met up with Emma, Henry and the Charming's. Lily thought it was really uncomfortable since she was still angry with the Charming's for what they did to her around 30 years earlier. But Regina and Mal had reassured her that it was gonna be fine and that they had forgiven them and that she should do the same. They also knew it was gonna be hard for her to do that.

The lunch went smoothly and they all parted ways.

When they arrived back at Regina's mansion Lily went up to her room, it was still kind of hard for her to realise that this was her room when she came to Storybrooke. She had her own room which was an amazing thing to realise. Henry also had is own room and soon the twins would have their own room too.

While Lily was in her room Regina and Mal sat down on the couch in the living room.

"I can't believe we didn't tell the others we're expecting twins." Regina giggled.

"I had such a hard time not telling them." Mal let out.

"I'm glad you didn't. We all know how hard it is for you to keep secrets." Regina winked which earned her a playful slap from Mal.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Mal exclaimed.

"Yeah right." Regina rolled her eyes.

Mal pouted and got up and left Regina sitting on the couch all alone confused of what just happened.

"Mal?" Regina whined.

Nothing.

Regina got up and got out of the living room. She looked in the kitchen. No Maleficent. She the proceed to walk up the stairs to check their bedroom. But Maleficent wasn't there either.

Regina knocked on Lily's door.

"Come in."

Regina opened the door and walked in.

"Hey. Your mother isn't here right?"

Lily raised an eyebrow at Regina's question.

"I thought she was with you. What happened?" Lily asked worriedly.

"Nothing really. I teased your mother and she left."

Lily rolled her eyes.

"Why would you do that for?"

"I didn't mean to make her sad okay?!" Regina lashed out.

Lily cringed at Regina's voice. Her mother really was The Evil Queen.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to lash out like that."

"It's okay. I'm sorry I cringed I'm not used to this, or you or…" Lily trailed of.

"No no I get it. I haven't lashed out like that in a while scared me too."

They stood there for a while longer before Regina let out a breath.

"I should go look for her. Are you okay to stay here by yourself."

"You don't want me to help you look?"

"No it's okay. It's my fault she left so I should look for her."

"Okay, then yes I'm okay to stay here alone."

Regina smiled and walked out. Regina stood outside for a while trying to contain her tears which weren't that easy and a tear fell down her cheek. She hadn't lashed out like that in a really long time and it really did scare her. She didn't want to get back to that person she used to be. She didn't want to become The Evil Queen again.

She took some breaths before she thought of places Mal could have gone to.

She decided to check the backyard first and there in the middle of the garden Mal was sitting in the grass looking out over all the flowers Regina had planted over the years.

Regina went up to Maleficent and sat down next to her.

"I'm sorry." Regina let out.

Mal just kept staring on the flowers.

Regina bit her upper lip before she continued.

"I didn't mean to make you upset. I really didn't. I love you way too much to want to hurt you ever again."

Mal turned her head to Regina and she could tell her love had been crying which made Regina feel even worse. Regina felt so bad that she had to turn her attention away from Maleficent.

Maleficent could tell that Regina was feeling really bad about this and she knew that it wasn't her intention of making her upset.

Mal tilted Regina's head towards her direction. She looked into Regina's brown eyes and smiled.

"I know you didn't mean to make me upset and I'm sorry I took off but I just needed to think for a while."

Regina smiled a leaned over and placed a kiss on Mal's lips.

"So while you were sitting here what did you think about?" Regina asked.

"About us, about Lily, and about these two." Mal looked down on her slowly growing stomach.

Regina smiled once more.

"I was thinking about names for them." Mal looked back up at Regina.

"Got any good ones." Regina winked.

"I was thinking I could name one and you named the other?"

"I'd like that."

"And since you've already named a boy, Henry. I thought you could name the girl."

"I've actually been thinking about this. So how would you like if we name the girl Daniela?"

"That is a really cute name and I think she would like it." Maleficent smiled at Regina who was beaming.

"And I was thinking we could name the boy Nicolai…"

"I love it." Regina kissed Mal's cheek and Mal put her head on Regina's shoulder and then they looked out over the flowers.

This really was beginning too look a lot like a family with a bright future ahead.

Until next time :*
