Mary Margaret chewed on her lip as she entered the house. She did not foresee this going well. Regina hated her, had hated her since her marriage to her father years before. On the other hand, it wouldn't really affect her, would it?

"Regina," she said, going to the door of her office.

"Mary Margaret," she said, without looking up.

"There's something I need to tell you."

Regina sighed. "Well then, get on with it."

"I, uh-I'm pregnant."

Now she looked up. "What?"

"Yeah, David and I are going to have a baby."

"Look, if you expect me to help you raise a baby-"

"I don't. It'll be born after I graduate, I'll be out of the house. It won't really affect you at all. I'll just have to make some doctor's appointments and get some maternity clothes."

Regina shrugged. "Well, then. I guess that settles it."

"Great."

"But to be clear, if this baby in any way intrudes upon my life, there will be consequences. Is that understood?"

"Yes, I understand," Mary Margaret said, swallowing.

"So, how'd it go with the Evil Queen?" Ruby asked when she arrived at Aurora's house for their study session.

"Oh come on, I've told you that nickname is ridiculous. Regina isn't a queen."

"But she thinks she is. Hence the nickname."

"Yeah. Well anyway, it went fine. I explained that I'd be moved out by the time the baby was born, and that it wouldn't really affect her, and she was okay with it."

"Surprised she wasn't angry," Belle said.

"For her to be angry, she'd have to care."

"I'm sure she cares at least a little bit," Ariel said.

"Don't be so sure," said Ella. "If my stepmother is anything to go on, they don't care. At all."

"Well, some stepmothers probably do," said Mary Margaret. "It's just ours that don't."

"Yeah."

"So," said Aurora, coming over to them. "Phillip says he wants to come over... is that alright?"

"Fine," said Ruby. "We all need to study for the exam. In fact, can I invite Dorothy over?"

"Why not?"

"Oh, can I invite Thomas?" Ella asked.

"Oops," said Aurora. "Guess I turned this into couple's night. Why doesn't everyone just invite the person they're dating?"

"Oh, awesome," said Mulan. "Guess I'm the thirteenth wheel, then."

"Don't worry," said Belle. "I'm not going to invite Robert. It'd be pretty stupid for him to come study for our test with us, given that he doesn't go to our school."

"Guess it would, yeah."

Twenty minutes later, they were all studying for their test. Forty minutes after that, they decided that studying was no fun.

"Let's play a game," Eric suggested.

"Oh, good idea," said Thomas.

"What game?" Ella asked.

"What about Truth or Dare?" Dorothy suggested.

"I think we could all use a study break," Aurora said.

"I think I'm actually going to keep studying," Belle said. "I'll just go into the other room."

"Oh come on, Belle, you always do that!" Ruby said. "Just this once?"

"Well... fine."

"Okay, who's up?"

"I'll go," said David. He looked around the group. "Phillip. Truth or Dare?"

"Dare," said Phillip.

"Go dress Aurora's cat up like a dragon."

"Oh no dear, don't do that. His claws are so sharp," Aurora said.

"Be right back," Phillip responded, and indeed, he returned fifteen minutes later with a cat in a green sweater-type thing. "Couldn't find fire breath."

"Impressive," David said.

"Now," said Phillip. He looked around. "Ella. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"If you could attack anyone with a flock of vicious birds, who would it be."

"My stepmother," Ella said, almost without hesitation.

"Really?" Aurora asked.

"Like I said," she replied. "Stepmothers suck."

A/N: So, this has been largely focused on Mary Margaret so far; I'm thinking about making it longer and shifting the focus so it's about all the princesses (and princes) and not just her. Thoughts?
