Cora finally has her plan in place, but something is wrong. She can sense it. If this plan is to work, and if Regina is to marry the king, things must go perfectly. Cora decides to talk to Snow. She might know what is going on.

"You're pregnant!" Snow and Henry yell in unison.

"Yes," Regina laughs, "Daniel and I are having a baby."

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Snow asked.

"Well, there is no way to be sure but Regina is convinced it is a boy." Daniel says.

Henry jumps onto Regina's lap and gives her a big kiss, then he gives a hug to Daniel. Regina looks at Henry, her eyes shining. "I'm so happy that you are excited."

Henry can't believe how great this is. He just hopes that he is around long enough to see the baby. It has been a week since the portal failed and he is starting to feel weird. He can't put his finger on it, but he feels odd, he figures this is the beginning of the end. It scares him, but he knows that he could never ruin his mother's happiness. He was so mean to her back in Storybrooke. She might have been the Evil Queen, but all she ever was to him was a mother.

"There is one more thing," Regina cautiously says, "My mother is a dangerous woman. I know that you guys may not believe that, but she is. She has been on edge ever since my marriage. I believe that she is planning something, though I am not sure what. Daniel and I plan on moving to a place where we will be safe from her interference. Henry you will come with us, of course. We just have one request. Do you two know what a secret is?" Henry and Snow both nodded.

"Good," Regina says, "I need you two to promise me that you will not tell my mother anything. She must not know that I am pregnant or that I will be relocating. Can you keep my secret?"

"Yes!" Henry says. Daniel looks at Snow. "Snow, can you promise that you will not talk to Cora?"

"I think so." Snow responds.

"Snow, dear, you need to be sure." Regina kneels in front of Snow. "Can you keep our secret?"

"Yes," Snow says, "I promise."

"Snow?"

Snow turns around and looks at Cora. "Yes?" she answers meekly.

"I was hoping to talk to you." Cora leads Snow to a couch and sits her down.

"Something is wrong with my daughter, but I don't know what it is. You two have become quite close."

"She is quite kind to me. She is like a mother. I miss my mother, and Regina reminds me of her."

"I can only imagine how horrible it must have been to lose her when you were so young. I want to ask you about Regina. I love my daughter very much. Unfortunately, we have been growing apart. I want nothing more than to repair our relationship. My daughter is hiding something. I was hoping that you would tell me, that way I could help her. Please Snow. I am begging you, help me reconcile with my daughter."

"If you really want to help her then let her go! She is pregnant and she plans on moving to another kingdom with Daniel."

"Oh dear, I have no intention of making her stay here. I will assist her in her move."

"Really?"

"Really." Cora lied.

************************************************** ***

Henry was hiding in the woods. Regina and Daniel were grabbing their last supplies and were going to meet him. Henry was upset. He could feel himself losing memories and feeling. He knew that he had very little time left. Then he felt a wave of air, and he dissipated into nothing.

Regina and Daniel were in the stables to grab three horses. Out of nowhere they hear a blast and see Cora at the doors of the stables.

"How rude of you to leave without saying good-bye." Cora threw out her hands and pushed the two of them back.

"Mother! What are you doing?" Daniel stepped in front of Regina, sensing that Cora was about to do something horrible.

"I gave you everything and this is how you repay me.? You marry a stable boy. The king will never marry you if you have a child from another man."

"The king? Mother, I am with Daniel. I can't marry the king, nor do I want to."

"The king's child is fond of you. If you were without a husband, he would marry you to keep his child happy. I am doing this for you." Cora used her magic to lift Daniel into the air. She thrust her hand into his chest. Daniel felt a hot pain rush over him. He had never felt this amount of pain before. Cora pulled her hand out of his chest. Daniel fell to the ground and Regina rushed over to him. Daniel felt one last wave of pain as Cora crushed his heart.

"Daniel!" Regina screamed. She tried to shake him awake but it was unsuccessful. She kissed him, hoping that true love's kiss would bring him back, but he remained lifeless. Her true love on the floor. She could barely speak, barely move. Her son would be without a father.

"Mother, why would you do this?" Regina was crying and shaking uncontrollably.

"I did this for you." Cora hit Regina with a wave of magic and Regina felt blood run down her legs.

"Mother, no! Oh no!" Regina fell to the ground and sobbed. She let out every emotion she had and cried silent tears.

Cora forced her up. "Wipe your tears, for you shall be queen."
Regina fell back to the ground, and continued to cry.

****************************************

Snow was very happy, and a little upset. A week ago Daniel died, Regina lost her baby, and Henry went missing. Cora said that there was an accident while they were riding near a cliff and that Henry was most likely dead as well. Snow missed them both but her father had just told her wonderful news. Regina was to become his wife and be her mother. Snow was ecstatic. Snow invited herself into Regina's chambers where she was being fitted for a wedding gown.

Snow could sense that Regina was upset. She wasn't quite sure what to say, so she decided that she would say what people said to her after she lost her mother. "I am so sorry about Daniel and Henry, I cared for them. But now you and I will be a family, and you and your mother are together again, just like she wanted."

Regina looked down at Snow. "Just like she wanted?" Regina was confused, and then it hit her. "Snow? Did you tell my mother about my plan?" Regina tried to stay calm. Of course Snow wouldn't have said anything, she made a promise.

"Yes. She said that she wanted to help you. I didn't want you to lose your mother, like I've lost mine. Are you mad at me?"

Regina looked away to hide the anger in her face. Her body tensed up. This insulent, spoiled child. She broke a promise because she wanted a mother. "No I am not mad", Regina forced out," I am so happy that I will be your stepmother."

Snow looked up at her then she gave her a big hug. "I love you Regina, I will be the best daughter." Snow skipped off, happy that Regina wasn't angry with her.

As Snow skipped off Regina fell to the ground. She was in shock. Her baby and Daniel were gone, all because of this child. And Henry, poor Henry. Regina can only imagine what her mother must have done to him. She starts to shake uncontrolably. A the sadness washes over her she feels an unfamiliar feeling. A strong anger, a loathing that she has never felt before. Snow White! That spoiled princess cost her everything she loved. She took away her happiness. Regina looks up and sees her horrid mother.
"I am so proud of you darling." Cora says with a fake smile.
"I never should have told her anything. Even better, Dniel should have let her die on that horse." Regina spits out as she runs away.
Cora smiles as her daughter flees the room. Everything has gone perfectly.
