Hey guys! As always thank you so much for all the positive reviews and ideas! I love them! I'm gonna use a few of the ideas. One was Belle having magic. Now, I was thinking that this could be a good twist, but I'm not quite sure how to introduce it, i may have Regina teaching her but I need some context as to how she got her powers. I had the idea that she could have some how absorbed some of the power from Rumple's dagger, but I'm not sure! I'd love to know what you guys think!

Chapter 6

The car journey was short, the town was small so it hadn't taken to long to reach Regina's house. When the parked up outside, Emma and Regina helped to take in some of Belle's luggage as well as emergency baby items, even though Regina still had a lot of Henry's old stuff. "Really? All of this? The baby isn't even born yet!" Belle said with a huge smile as she saw the toys Regina had saved from Henry's earlier years.

"Well, obviously I'll buy her some more stuff, but what's a few more toys?" Regina explained as she drank a sip of her tea.

"A few more? It's more like a few dozen!" Emma laughed as she stared in awe at the masses of bears and balls in front of her.

"Oh, she'll get bored after a while. This is nothing. Trust me." Regina laughed.

"Well, thank you, for everything. Both of you." Belle said smiling.

"Nonsense, what are friends for if not to spoil your baby." Regina laughed.

"And you too." Emma added. "You should get some rest."

"I'm not tired, I don't need to." Belle protested. She felt like a child sometimes, the constant worry and instructions the others set upon her, she hated it yet loved it at the same time. It showed that they cared, and that meant a lot.

As if on cue, Belle yawned, which was met by an 'I told you so' look from Emma and a sigh from Regina.

"Come on, Bookworm." Regina said with a smile. The nickname had stayed, it wasn't the best but Belle still liked it.

"Fine, but only for a little bit, I need to sort through my stuff and I need to finish off the last few chapters of..." Belle didn't even get the chance to finish before Emma started to laugh.

"I'm sorry, it's just that reading is second on your list of priorities right now, I see where 'Bookworm' came from." Emma said still laughing.

"Hey, it's good to have fun and there is nothing like getting into a good book." Belle said proudly.

"Bookworm." Regina said definitively.

"If that makes me a bookworm then so be it!" Belle smiled as she walked towards the guest bedroom. She'd spent many nights there when she was too tired to drive back home. It was like a second bedroom.

"Goodnight, sleepy head." Emma called behind.

"I'm not sleepy, I'm just resting!" Belle replied, obviously recovering from a long yawn.

"Do you wanna bring the others over for movie night? She might need it since, well, she might have seen him today, it must have had some affect on her." Regina whispered.

"I know what you mean, but she hasn't said anything, yet. I mean, maybe she's in denial. She can't have gotten over him that fast, and least not in this town." Emma said with a worried expression.

"What do you mean?" Regina asked still confused.

"Well, this town is all about true love and fairy tales, maybe she thinks that he was her only shot at love, maybe she's given up." Emma explained.

"Well, he will not be her only shot at love and if he does come back, he isn't good enough for her anymore. He'll have to go through me before he gets to her. It hurts having your heartbroken, but having it broken over and over again is torture." Regina said.

"You locked her up in a prison for 28 years." Emma said.

"Yes, but that was the old me, now I see her as family, as a sister and I won't let anyone hurt her, you and her were there for me when Robin left. You didn't need to, after everything I had done, but you were. You helped me through it, who knows what I might have done, I was upset and I could've easily reverted back to my old ways, you were there for me. And I'll never forget that." Regina smiled.

"And now look at us, best buddies." Emma laughed.

"I wouldn't go that far, but I see your point." Regina teased.

Emma just rolled her eyes. "Should I call them now then?" She asked.

"Yes, just tell them to be here at 6pm." Regina said as she walked into the kitchen.

"OK, I'm gonna go and check on Henry and Neal, if you need anything call us." Emma said as she walked out. Regina just nodded with a smile and watched, before retreating to the cupboard and taking out supplies, she was in the mood for baking.

This chapter is really short, but before I go on I wanted to know what you guys thought about the whole magic thing. I'll post more very soon! I love you all!
