Prompt from a friend: Daniel dies at the hands of Cora, Regina pushes Cora through the mirror and she still marries the King. Regina never casts the dark curse, instead she kills Leopald and becomes Queen of the Dark Kingdom while Snow and Charming live in the White Kingdom. Snow still views Regina as her stepmother, so when Regina puts herself in a sleeping curse to stop the pain of losing Daniel, Snow sets out to find someone to kiss her awake. 18 years later, that happens but not from who Snow expects..

Chapter 2

The day after the funeral Snow White rose with morning sickness. As she cleaned herself up she thought of inviting Regina for breakfast in the garden. Walking into her bed chambers Snow was shocked to find Regina's lifeless body just laying on the bed, a vile next to her.

Snow White could barely call out for the guards as she sat beside her stepmother and cried, praying that she wasn't dead.

"Hehehe now now Dearie, the Queen isn't dead. She's just in a sleeping curse." a voice said and Snow turned to face it to find none other than Rumpelstiltskin.

"What do you know of this?" she demanded angrily.

Rumple held his hands up in surrender. "Not much, only that she took a vile of a sleeping curse and no one but true love's kiss can wake her from it."

Snow's heart broke. Why would Regina do this? "She'll wake up soon! I'll start sending out notices today that every single man in the Kingdoms shall come and lay a kiss upon the Queen in order to break the curse."

"It won't work Dearie. You killed her true love, don't you remember?"

Daniel.. "I didn't kill him, he ran off!"

"Oh child, that's what Regina wanted you to believe. She saw you as a fragile girl who couldn't handle the hard truth that, after you told Cora, she stopped them from leaving. That she plunged her hand inside Daniel's chest, ripped out his heart and crushed it in front of Regina."

"That was Cora's doing then, not mine."

"You still inadvertently caused his death.' Rumple snapped. "Now you have to live with the knowledge that Regina will never wake up. Unless.."

"Unless what?"

Rumpelstiltskin laughed. "Unless you make a deal with me."

"What kind of deal?" Snow White asked warily.

"Oh a simple trade, as Regina stays frozen in time so does the rest of your two kingdoms. No one ages, except your growing baby girl in your stomach. Only until Regina is woken will my spell be voided."

Snow looked at the imp and considered his words. "What's in it for you?"

"Did you not hear me? Your two kingdoms will not be able to age."

Snow thought over his words, then looked at her sleeping stepmother. "Deal." The two shook on it and Rumple left. Snow ordered all of the Queens belongings be moved into trunks, that she was coming back to the White Kingdom where she could be properly cared for. Henry had no objections.

When Snow and an unconscious Regina arrived in the White Kingdom half a day later the woman went to work on making Regina comfortable and sending out notices. A turn out of a large magnitude was at the palace gates and Charming had a hard time getting through the throng of people to his wife.

One look at her and Charming knew better than to interfere. He simply padded off to the kitchens for a quick snack and then to bathe.

The months grew and every day there was a new gentlemen willing to kiss the Queen awake. Unfortunately no one measured up to true love for Regina. Her father was becoming increasingly worried, seeing time after time each man try and fail to will his sleeping daughter awake. In the months of trying Snow White's belly had grown and it was now fairly obvious that she was with child.

The day of Emma's birth was a flurry of excitement for everyone. Snow White had delivered early, and Charming wasn't prepared. He paced the corridors anxiously as he waited for news on his wife and daughter.

Doc came out of Snow's room holding a tiny white blanket with a tiny baby inside. "Your daughter, Charming." As he took Emma in his arms he rocked and swayed with her. Kissing her forehead, he slowly and carefully walked into Snow's room. "Isn't she perfect?" the woman in bed asked.

All Prince Charming could do was nod, amazed that they created this tiny person. "She has my chin. The Charming chin." he stated proudly. Snow laughed and shook her head.

The three Charming's sat in the room and for once, neither Snow nor Charming thought of the woman that was in a sleeping curse down the hall.
