"Daddy, Miss Gina," Roland tugs on Regina's dress, "Who's that on those horseys?" Regina looked down at the small boy, "I'm not sure, sweetie." Roland's gentle tugging slowly stops, a soft pout forming on his lips. The boy was obviously becoming tired, he reached his arms up toward Regina, who bent down to pull the boy up into her arms. The gentle rubbing on his back from the woman's soft touch coaxing the boy to nuzzle into her neck.
Robin took a glimpse at his son settled into the woman's arms. It was obvious how comfortable Roland had become with her, and the sight seemed to ease his heart. The tromping of the horses grew closer and closer, until Regina could finally make out exactly who it was, "The Charming's bunch..." She sighed softly, a bit displeased. Robin let his hand lightly brush against her arm, "Should we go prepare drinks and a place for everyone to sit? And a place for this one to nap?" he brushed some hair away from the boys eyes, but in his sleepiness the young turned his head into Regina away from his father. Regina tried to hide a light smirk, "He's fine where he is, Robin, but yes I'll make up some drinks."
Regina kept the boy leaned against her hip as she used magic to lay out a welcoming meal and drinks for the coming guests, turning to Robin who was eyeing her strangly, "What?"
He shook his head breifly, "Nothing. Why do you think they're here?"
"I don't know," Regina let out a seep sigh, glancing down at the boy beginning to fall asleep on her chest. "Knowing them, they won't just let themselves in... Come on." She started toward the enormous castle doors, Robin following.
Just as Robin had pulled the doors open for Regina, the now long black haired woman moved quickly to give the Queen a hug, but stopped as she noticed the boy in her arms. Regina, who'd taken a step back inside to avoid the hug anyways, her back bumping against Robins chest, could now see the growing bump under the womans clothes, "Regina." Snow beamed. Regina gave her a half-hearted smile, "Snow... What are you all doing here? Come..." She hesitated, uncertain of the words she wouldn't have ever said to the woman in their previous years in this land, "Come in..."
Snow smiled to her again, taking David's hand as they entered the castle. Ruby, Granny, and the seven dwarves followed. Regina and Leroy, now in his dwarf clothes, exchanged glares as always. The bunch followed Snow, who seemed to be leading them through the castle as if it were her own.
Regina narrowed her eyes in the direction of all of them, their backs turned getting further down the hall as she still stood in place with Robin by her side. Robin chuckled softly at her provoked attitude, "Come on, Queenie, it's just a few guests." Regina shifted the boy in her arms, giving him a playful glare, "Unwelcomed guests." Robin glared back teasingly, "Who knows, maybe they have good reason." Regina rolled her eyes at the thought, "Highly unlikely, but we'll see thief." Robin nudged her gently, "Keep straight Queen, let's go." Regina laughed quietly as Robin pulled the most serious face she'd ever seen on his features and offered her his arm. "As you wish theif." She locked one arm through his as she shifted Roland's weight to one side.
Robin led Regina into the dinning room where Snow and her followers had gathered around the large feasting table. Robin had offered to take Roland the entire walk, but Regina refused, insisting that she didn't need help.
Regina glanced around at the eleven people, "Take a seat, there's plenty." Regina took her own seat at the head of the table, Robin sitting on one side of her, while Snow insisted upon taking the seat on the other. "It looks like you've been... Busy." Regina raised her brows at the woman, Snow looking down at her bump. "I... Ummm. Yes, we're having another child." Snow took a glimpse at Robin, wanting to ask her if she was planning the same thing with the theif, but knowing she wouldn't approve of her asking.
Regina shifted Roland around on her lap, giving the woman the slightest glare as she eyed Robin. "Why is it you've all decided to visit?"
"Her..." Snow's voice was barely above a whisper, as if someone, this 'her' ,would hear her speaking.
"Who?" Regina questioned, not in the mood to play games.
"The green skinned woman, The Wicked Witch..." Snow's hand lightly rubbed her belly. "Has she not come here...?"
The fear hidden behind Snow's words sent shivers down Regina's spine. The wench who had threatend, not her, but her happiness that was left. "Yes," she spat out the words through clenched teeth, "She's been here, how would you know that?"
"She said she would see you... She said everyone would see her." Snow looked up to Regina as her tone changed, "This Witch, she said we'd all pay."
Regina's eyes shot up to meet Snow's. "All?" Snow nodded at the questioning of her words.
It wasn't just her then, it wasn't only Regina this greened skinned woman was after, it was all of them. Or was it? She couldn't know, no one could know for sure. She new nothing of this woman, other than that she claimed to be her sister. Regina leaned foreward, pressing for any more information Snow held, "Did she say anything else?"
Snow starred down at her lap, looked to David for help, trying to remember what the woman had said. "She said... She said..." Snow furrowed her brows a little frustrated, "She said we'd all pay the price, that coming back wouldn't be what we thought."
Regina nodded, waiting for anymore information. Her eyes shifted to Robin's, "We have to know more..." She said quietly, not wanting to wake Roland. Robin nodded briefl, but everyone else sat hopelessley confussed. "What did she say to you, Regina?" Snow asked, studying the gaze between Regina and Robin.
"What she said has no meaning to any of you," Regina snapped in a still quiet tone, not wanting to speak of the words again after her emotional confession to Robin, "What matters is finding out who this Wicked Witch is and what she wants from us."
