Chapter 4
I'm an only child and kept myself away from little children (don't know why but they always cried when they saw me :-D) so I don't have much knowledge about babies than what my mother had told me.
The next morning they woke up together. Emma smiled when she saw Regina's sleepy face in front of her and wrapped her arms around her. "Morning,babe." She mumbled and Regina snuggled closer. "Morning, honey. Ready for our children?" "Maybe later. Firstly I want rest and you in my arms." Emma said and they just laid cuddling in the bed. "I love you, Regina." "I love you too, Emma." "You promised me that you would answer every question." "I will." Regina assured her and Emma thought about it.
"Why did you cast the curse?" Emma asked and Regina sighed. "I was... I was desperate... You surely know how it is to live somewhere where you are scared. Where you never can relax. Where you only dream of nightmares... I just... One more year and I probably would have killed myself..." Regina confessed and Emma gasped. "I'm not all evil. I have my reasons. When I was younger I was a good-hearted teenager and then... then I met your mother and my whole life just turned upside down... I had to marry you grandfather... he was 67 and I just got 18... He was almost 3,5 times older than me... And... I'm sorry that I killed him, he would have cherished you like Snow but I couldn't stay with him..."
"Why didn't you flee?" Emma asked shocked. "Because then the people would had hunted me down and brought me back to the king who would probably have me killed for treason. Killing him was the easier way. I didn't wanted to be the powerless anymore and killing him after what he did to me... it was satisfying... and then I was so obsessed with my revenge against Snow that I didn't even saw how I turned dark. I was so happy to finally be free. To finally be able to decide for myself... It was all just a lie. Gold... he planned everything. He manipulated my anger so that I would do everything he wanted... and that's why I casted the curse." Regina said and Emma stroked her cheek.
"Do you regret it?" "No. Because not casting the curse would mean that I wouldn't have you, Henry and the twins... Thanks to you 4 I finally can feel love again properly. And... that's what casting the curse was good for." Regina said and Emma kissed her softly. "You are so cheesy." Emma said with a grin and Regina smiled. "Just for you." "I'm ready for getting our babies." Emma said and Regina smiled. "Good." Regina said and stood up. "I'll get them." Regina said and Emma nodded. Regina quickly walked to the nursery where a nurse stopped her. "You can't enter if there isn't a child of you." The nurse said unfriendly. "Unfortunately for you, I have two twin daughters in there." Regina answered and the nurse laughed. "For twins you are too thin." "Who said that I got them?" Regina said and suddenly Snow stood behind her.
"Let her be. She is the mother of Rose and Anna Swan." Snow said and the nurse gasped. Regina entered finally and directly saw her two baby girls. She picked them up and held them close. "Emma will be so happy to hold you two." She whispered in their ears and kissed their soft heads. She carried them to Emma who took Rose gratefully and smiled. "They are so soft. Were Henry soft too?" Emma asked and Regina nodded. "Yeah. I couldn't stop kissing him so soft was he." Regina answered with a smile. "You have to feed them." Regina said and Emma blushed. "Does it hurt?" "I don't know, I couldn't test that." Regina said with a grin.
Emma nodded and slowly she placed Rose at her breast and gasped when she started sucking. "God... that hurts." Emma hissed and Regina smiled. Emma blushed and looked away. "What is it?" "I don't know... It's kinda embarrassing." Emma said. "When you are worried about me changing my mind about you you are terribly mistaken. I found that rather hot right now." "I know." Emma said and nodded at the little tent. "Sh..." Regina stopped her cursing directly and rocked the little girl in her arms. Emma smiled. " I think she is finished." She said and Regina placed Anna on Emma's stomach and took Rose in her arms.
After Emma had fed Anna too they all snuggled on the bed. The twins in the middle and the mothers on their sides facing each other. "They look sooooo cute." Emma said and Regina grinned. "Henry did too." "What was Henry's first word?" Emma asked. "Mama." Regina said with a small smile and Emma took her hand. "Afterwards I couldn't get him stop talking. I bought earphones and listened with an ear to my music while he talked to me. Not always but sometimes I just had a bad day and needed to relax. We definitely need plans how we manage them." Regina said and Emma nodded. "We will work something out at home." Emma said and they fell asleep again. It had been a really exhausting night and they still needed rest. The twins slept too and Henry visited them. He took a quick picture of them before he laid down behind Regina and wrapped his arms around her.
