Regina was preparing dinner for the family, the whole family - Snow White, Prince Charming, their little beautiful baby girl, Emma, Henry, Rumple, Belle, Neal, Robin, Roland and her. She made lasagna - her special, she made the table and then went to prepare herself. She put on the black, sleeveless dress that came just above her knees, she put on some make up and fixed her hair. There was ringing at the door, she went and opened.

"Oh, hi, beautiful." She said to the baby and picked her up from the carrier.

"Well, hello to you too." Snow said sarcastically to her.

"Hello, Snow... Hello, Charming." She said, glancing at them but then again focused on the baby, she kissed her cheek and then the baby smiled at her.

"Oh, yeah, come in." Regina said to Charming and Snow. She positioned the baby so that she could carry her more easily. "So, what's our angel's name?" She asked as she lead them to the sitting room.

"You'll hear it... Later." Snow said an Regina couldn't stop but pout. "You are adorable." Snow commented.

"You take that back!" Regina answered to Snow acting offended. The ring rung again and Regina went to open it still holding the baby in her arms. On the doors were Rumple, Belle and Neal.

"Hi... Hey, baby, those are your step-great-grandparents, nope, let's just call them auntie Belle and grandpa Rumple" She said pointing at Rumple and Belle, Rumple acted offended "what? Why do I get to be grandpa?" At which Regina answered "You are over 300 years old! And this is... my older brother." She said pointing at Neal and the continued "whom I missed very much, but he won't even give me a hug."

Belle took the baby from Regina and Neal pulled her into a big hug. "Thank you." He said.

"That's what sisters are for." She answered with a smile.

"Then, I guess I'm lucky because I have the best one out there... I love you." Neal said and held her tighter.

"I love you too, but unless you want the baby to get the cold you should come in." She said and took the baby back. She lead them all into the sitting room. Regina got everyone something to drink, she was about to sit down when the bell rung once again.

Noticing the look on his daughter's face he said "I'll open it."

"Thank you!" She said as he walked away.

"Tell me her name!" She said at Snow and Charming.

"No." Charming laughed, the baby was sleeping in the carrier in the next room.

"I can't just keep calling her her or baby... You didn't name her Eva, did you?" But when she got no answer "If you named her Eva I'm going to kick your sorry ass, Snow White." Regina threatened but Snow just laughed.

"No, we didn't name her Eva." Charming said and it that moment Rumple walked back in with Roland, Robin, Henry and Emma. They sat down and Regina also got them a drink and a juice for Roland and Henry.

"It's good to see you again, Regina." Emma said being the only one who hasn't seen her before.

"It's good to see you too. Umm, what is your sister's name?" Regina asked.

"No, Emma, don't tell her." Snow warned.

"Sorry, mom says not to tell." Emma commented.

"Well, your mom is a..." She started but didn't finish because Robin interrupted her "dinner, let's eat." Regina glared at him and everyone went to the dining room. Regina sat in the head, the others on her sides. Regina went into a kitchen and got lasagnas, she served a piece to each one of them.

"So, why were we gone for so long?" Regina asked Rumple.

"I guess that when you were under the protection field you had no idea just how much time has passed, you had an illusion that it was one day, but the field wouldn't allow you to see just how much time has passed, it kept you feed, rested and you didn't need any water or something."

"Oh, crap." Regina said and rushed upstairs to check on the backpack, she opened the box that it was in it and was pleased to see that it was still there. She went back and everyone looked at her confused.

"What was that all about?" Robin asked.

"I had to check on something." She answered hoping to shut the subject.

"Is this about those files and that box?" Robin asked.

"Robin! No, it's not."

"The files, the same ones from today?" Rumple asked wanting to know more.

"It doesn't matter, let's just get back to dinning."

"Regina, you've been avoiding the subject, every time I'd ask you about the files you'd change the subject." Rumplestilstkin said but she ignored him.

"So, Snow, when are you going to tell me how you named the baby?" Regina asked Snow.

"Once she's awake." Snow answered shortly.

"What is in those files?" He tried again.

"Henry, you've gotten so big." Regina said to her son, choosing to ignore Rumple.

"Dammit, Regina! Could you stop being so stubborn?!"

"I'm your and Cora's daughter, just how did you expect me do be? Stunning in every way?!" Regina snapped and stood up from the table.

"You found the letter." Rumple said matter-of-factly.

"Yes, I did! And the files? They're yours on me, Cora and Zelena. Have anything to say in your defense before I read them?!" Regina asked annoyed.

"I just want you to be you, I don't want to change you."

"Of course you don't, nooooooooo… "Regina, you're my daughter, Regina, don't do that, Regina, think, Regina, sit straight, Regina, make a portal, Regina, use The Dark One's magic and corrupt what little light you had in your heart, Regina be you... Regina, that, Regina, this! Stop it, I don't need you trying to raise me again. I love you and I always will and you are my father, I accepted that, I like the times we spent together, but you can't replace Henry, so stop, he raised me, he taught me about True Love, and how to overcome my fears, you taught me how to kill… Don't say you're sorry, I know you are and I forgive you, I do… But you can't expect me to be stunning in every way or the best pupil you ever had. The point is you are my father and I love you but Henry raised me and he taught me that the perfection doesn't matter." Regina said wiping away her tears and hoping to do so before anyone noticed.

"Okay." Rumple said and surprised her with the answer.

"Okay?" Regina asked.

"Yes, okay, I am honestly glad you had him in your life when I've done nothing but hurt you. " Rumple said and went to her, he stood in front of her. "Everything the life has thrown at you, you fight it back, you don't give up, you didn't revert to darkness and I can't tell you how much that makes me proud and how much it makes me jealous. Look at you, you are standing high, tall, proud, you are having dinner with your life enemy and gushing over her baby, I can never do that so I'm jealous and I'm extremely proud at you, you are a fighter, you are a slayer, when life kicks you down you don't stand down you stand up and you fight back. You are my daughter and you are perfect not that it matters. Did you find the box?" Regina nodded and she understood what he had done, he had left her his heart so that it could protect her she pulled him into a hug, she couldn't hold it back so she started to sob into his chest, feeling safe, trusting him with her life, with her weaknesses.

"Well, isn't that just adorable." The moment was broken by Zelena appearing in the middle of the room.

"Like you'd know what it means… Why don't you just give up, already?" Regina asked annoyed.

"I won't give up until I have your life." Zelena said.

"This ends now, if you kill me you get whatever you want, just leave all of them alone."

"But I get to kill you, don't I?" Zelena said, considering the option, it was tempting, having Regina's life and in return not ever bothering her family, she could live with that so she extended her arm and waited for Regina to shake it, Regina did.

"So, when shall we start?" Zelena said.

"How about now and here." Regina said and took a look around, she first put the protective spell around the baby then the rest of them, freezing them all in place. Rumple has never been so scared in his life and that for a life that wasn't even his, he wanted to move to help her, but the enchantment held him in place.

"See, no interruptions." Regina said and motioned towards her family.

Zelena shot a spell at her but Regina deflected it with ease. "That all you've got, sis?" Regina taunted. Zelena know throw a fireball but Regina caught it and flung it back to her, Zelena turned it in a pile of smoke. She quickly shot another spell and because Regina didn't see it coming as she prepared her own the spell hit her, it shoot her to the wall, her head hitting it. Regina quickly glanced and could almost hear Rumple telling her what to do. Regina closed her eyes, focused and the people she needed to save and she blasted Zelena across the room, Zelena hit the flower and Regina took the pendant from around her neck, smashing it with her heel, Zelena screamed in despair, but she went after Regina again.

"Stop." Regina warned but Zelena kept coming. "Damn it, why is no one listening to me?" Regina said and as soon as Zelena touched her a wave hit her, causing her to stumble behind, falling to her knees, but Regina wouldn't kill her, no. With a wave of her hand she deleted all of Zelena's memories replacing them with happier and sending her over the town line.

"Will you tell me the damn name now?" Regina asked as she unfroze them.

"Ruth Regina Nolan."

"You gave her her middle name after me?" Regina asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"And the first after your mother." Regina motioned at David.

"And also, one more thing. We'd like you to be baby's godmother." Snow said

"Really? Me?" Regina asked once again in surprise.

"You've been doing already a great job protecting the baby, now you just have to spoil her." Emma said.

"I can do that." Regina said and looked around. Rumple, Neal, Belle, Henry, Snow, David, Emma, Ruth, Roland and Robin – they were her family and at the moment she didn't need anything more.

The end.
