Both Emma and Carol arrived at the Mayor's house at the same time. Carol in the backyard and Emma on the front porch, and neither one of them was going to let small things like doors stop them. There was such a big crash that both Kerry and Regina looked up and at just that second the first child screamed his first scream.

Regina was nearly out of juice as she carefully cut the cord. "Kerry... I'm..." The magic bubble seemed to disappear into the air and Regina managed to give the child to Kerry before, falling backward onto her heels.

Emma and Carol both got to the door of the guest room at the same time too. Carol burst through, "Kerry, Kerry..." She seemed to lift Regina as if the woman weighed nothing. "What did you do..."

"I just..." She didn't finish her sentence as she passed out.

Carol let her go, and Emma just barely caught her, "Who are you, what's going on."

"Get out..."

Emma bristled, "I'm the..."

Carol put a hand up, "I don't care if you're The Molinator. Get out."

Emma glanced between the blonde and the redhead, and finally did as Carol asked and backed out of the room. Regina still in her arms. Carol closed the door and knelt down next to Kerry. "It will be okay. Everything will be okay."

Kerry grit her teeth, "I don't know."

"Hey, who's Santa, don't I manage to know who's naughty and nice, I even figured out why the reindeer are sick."

Kerry nodded, "The food."

Carol made a bit of a sad face, "Not allowed to steal Santa's thunder. Now, I have a lot of toys to deliver tonight, so..." She put a hand on Kerry's belly, "Time for you to see the world just like your brother little one..."

There was quite the ruckus starting outside. Emma frowned and went to the window. It seemed as though the whole town was outside. She looked up as Carol and Kerry came out of the guest room. Carol was carrying one of the babies, while Kerry had one in a sling, and was carrying the other. They seemed to be... debating something.

"No, you need to go Carol. You know you do. Vixen can't take all of us, and I will be safe here. I promise I will be safe. She's a Sheriff, right?"

Emma just barely managed not to blink as Carol shot her a look. "You'll keep her safe? All four of them? If anything..."

Emma nodded, "Yes. Of course. I- Storybrooke is a safe town." She mumbled under her breath, "Every third Sunday or so..."

Carol opened the door, and jerked a little by the number of people there. "Ah, did you know that there's an angry mob in front of the house."

Emma blew out a breath, "Yeah, I'll go out with you, see if I can calm them down." She held the door as Kerry and Carol walked out of it.

Carol walked towards the edge of the crowd and turned to face Kerry one more time. "Are you sure love?"

"I am. Go, make everyone happy. When you're done we can all take a sleigh ride home."

That brought a small smile to Carol's face, "With all eight?"

"I don't know. I may need Nine tonight if some are still feeling under the weather."

Kerry stood on her tiptoes and gave Carol a kiss that caused some of the people on the edge of the angry mob to pause their yells for Regina's head and watch the two of them. "I love you."

"Love you too..."

Kerry smirked, "Give Chet a carrot for me."

Carol rolled her eyes, gave the child she was carrying to Kerry, kissed each of the newborns on the head and disappeared around the edge of the house.

Kerry gave her attention to her three new kiddos for a moment. A boy and two girls. She was going to have to have a conversation with Dr. Hismus when she got back to the North Pole for sure. Because, he has been fairly certain that she was going to have twins. A long, long conversation.

A yell caught her attention in the crowd, something about fire. That caused her to frown and go towards where Emma was trying in vain to talk some sense into all of them. "She's not going to hurt anyone. She's all out of magic for the moment, yes, yes, I saw it for myself."

To Kerry the next part happened in slow motion. She wasn't sure where it came from, but what Kerry could have sworn was a molotov cocktail flew from someone's hand in the crowd and crashed through one of the front windows. The house was an old one, and it took mere moments before the whole front of it was engulfed in flames.

Kerry didn't think, the crowd was holding Emma back, preventing her from rescuing Regina. But, no one was paying attention to Kerry. She stuffed one of the baby's in the woman in red's arms, then the other two in Emma's arms, whirled, and dove through the flames in the front door.

Kerry had almost made it to Regina, but Regina was trying to wave her off. She coughed once, then twice, "Kerry, what are you doing. Get out, get out, it's going to go." She tried to take a breath, but all she got was smoke, "Gas. It's all going to..."

Kerry threw herself the last few feet at Regina, hitting her and causing them both to leave the ground. Kerry wrapped her arms around Regina, her fingers touching in the middle of the evil queen's back, and then Kerry closed her eyes. She could feel the heat on her back and then the force. She couldn't take a breath in or expel one either, but she held on, for her life and for Regina's. She'd had no idea what she was doing, if it would work, if she had enough magic left from carrying three magical kids to do what she was trying to do.

And then it was over. She rolled off of Regina and tentatively opened her eyes. She looked up. All she could see was dark sky. She blew out a breath and then she laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.

After a minute or so she finally took a full breath and looked over at Regina, who was staring right back at her. "You... saved my life. I thought you didn't have any magic left."

Kerry shook her head, "Yep, I think that's true now. But, I'm good with that. Magic. I'll leave that to Carol and the rest of you all. I'm just gonna raise Henry, SJ, Kamal, Demetria, and Regina as best I can."

Regina opened and closed her mouth, "Did you just say... Regina?"

Kerry nodded, "I did. It's a beautiful name."

"Why did you save me?"

Kerry sat up and glanced back towards where the front door had been, towards where the front of the house had been, "Because, if I hadn't tried, it would have been Emma in here, and... then your Henry would have lost both of his mothers..."

"Emma-"

"-loves you. Maybe as a friend, maybe as more, I don't know. My gaydar has always sucked. If you two ever... actually... really... truly... worked together, this... Mr. Gold, he'd never pose a threat to Storybrooke or the people of Storybrooke ever again. You should think about that. And... Think about this as well... Have you ever thought about an appointment to the Council of Legendary Figures." Kerry paused as she stood. "They really should have some sort of liaison to those figures who aren't exactly as... mainstream as the Easter Bunny, Mother Nature and all those." Kerry held her hand down towards Regina who stared at it for a moment, then took it and allowed herself to be helped up. "Just... think about it. You know, I have a son named Henry as well. Not biologically mine, I adopted him when my partner, his biological mother, died when he was a baby. Quite the smart young man, and yet, I have to remember, he's just a kid still. If he says something about his mother Sandy because he wants to hurt me, he's not doing it because he loves me any less, he's just angry, or sad, or..."

"I get it... I get it. I..."

"God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." Kerry paused, "It doesn't just work for alcoholics you know." Kerry handed Regina a card. "Call me when you're done thinking about that position."

"But, you're... you're legendary by marriage."

Kerry chuckled and waved a hand at Regina, "Ah, Carol'll be so sleep deprived from the triplets and tonight's... work I could give a parade in our quarters and she wouldn't notice. So, I'd better go rescue the girl in red and your Sheriff from my newborns, and then, is there a place in town where I could get a good burger?"
