First of all, thank you for your comments. They were really nice. Secondly, some of you mentioned that I could "rewrite" the show. This is what I intend to do, but after my finals when I will have more time. In the meantime, I plan how it will look. But now, I invite you to the next one-shot. This time it's the birth of the Queen, who is our little devil. I hope you will like it.

"I will be home as soon as possible, my dear."

Rumplestiltskin, better known as the Dark One, said to his very pregnant wife and kissed her tenderly. Then he knelt down and put his hands on her belly.

"Daddy needs to go now, but I want you to be good to mommy. Can you promise me that, dearie?" He asked softly and the woman rolled her eyes when the kid kicked her. The man grinned. "That's my baby!" He added and kissed his wife's stomach. "And I love you, too, honey."

"I think you should go, Rumple." The blonde woman said and put her hand on his shoulder. "Because if you don't leave now, then you probably never will. And the sooner you leave, the sooner you return."

He sighed.

"I know. I just don't want to leave you. Especially not now."

"I know about it." She said and he got up. "But we made a deal with them. Protection of the kingdom in exchange for the safety of our child."

"I really hate that deal." He said and looked at her, taking her hands in his own. "Burning these fools would be a better solution."

His wife laughed and kissed him passionately.

"I'm sure it would be, but since you impregnate me, it's out of question right now."

"Not that I'm complaining, but I still wonder how it's possible." He smiled slightly and looked at her belly. "I think you're the first dragon who has not submitted the eggs."

"Well, maybe I'll give birth to the egg. Who knows?" She asked with a smirk and he chuckled. "But now you really should go."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Besides Cruella and Ursula are here and will take care of me. Don't worry." He opened his mouth to say something, but she kissed him so he did not have a chance. "We will not leave this place during your absence and no one will come here. You know Cruella. She already put her toys on the guard."

"I love you, Maleficent." He said and kissed her for the last time. "I just want you to be safe."

"And I love you, too, Rumplestiltskin. We will be waiting at you."

The man sighed, but finally nodded and a few moments later the woman stayed alone. She slightly shook her head and gently started to rub her stomach. Unfortunately she did not know yet how much she was wrong. Because everything will change during her husband's absence.

It was a peaceful day and everything was as it should be.

Maleficent sat in her favourite armchair in the library and was reading a mysterious book („How to kill your enemy who doesn't know that is your enemy and how to do it without explaining his crime to him because you don't want to waste your time for idiots."). In the meantime Ursula and Cruella were playing some game.

The blonde rolled her eyes because the sea goddess accidentally (well, not in her opinion, that is) threw de Vil on the ground and when she wanted to help her to get up, she fell on her. Poor Cruella could only groan in pain. Her bones!

"Ekhym, little reminder that I'm still here." Maleficent said and looked at her friends, who still lay on the ground, with a mysterious smirk on her face. "Besides, Dark Castle has a lot of spare rooms, so you can use them in any moment."

"Ha-ha, very funny, darling." Said Cruella when she finally got up and started to rub her head. "It's not like you were threw on the ground and crushed."

"I said it was an accident! Not my fault that one of my tentacles tangled around your wrist."

"Oh, sure it was an accident." The dragon lady said and smirked even more, before the other woman was able to say something. "How anyone would think otherwise."

"Shut up!"

Maleficent laughed because the pillow flew toward her.

"Yes. Blame me for your clumsiness."

"Well, it was your fault."

The blonde woman grinned and put her book on the table and then got up. She wanted to say something, but then she felt a strong pain. She could not help and closed her eyes.

"Mal?" The woman opened her eyes and saw very concerned friends in front of her. "Are you all right, darling?"

"I'm... I'm fine." She said and nodded slightly before she turned to the sea goddess and winked. "It was the baby. It thinks that it was your fault."

"In that case your little monster is banned from my oceans and seas." Ursula said though she could not hide her smile.

"And why you think the child will like water? It will have whole sky for itself." Cruella was still rubbing her head.

"I don't remember that I asked you for an opinion."

"And I don't remember that I allowed you to knock me down."

"How many times I need to say that it was an accident?" Ursula sighed because Cruella snorted. "It was not my fault."

"You're worse than an old married couple." Maleficent rolled her eyes and went toward the door. "And now excuse me, but I'm going to get some sleep."

And she left unaware that in less than two hours hell was about to break.

She was exhausted. Of course she knew that the childbirth would not be pleasant, because she heard that it is painful, but she did not think that it hurts so much. Or maybe it was because of her. Because she was a dragon, not fully human. But then again... why it should be more painful for her? She was in her human form whole nine months and even more, she did not turn into a dragon for once during this time so... why? Why she had the impression that she could die at any moment?

"Push, Maleficent, push! I can see the head!" Said Ursula who was her midwife. The truth is that she had no experience in the adoption of birth, but she was the only available option. Cruella was too stressed to help at all and acted as if she was the one who was with child. And because of that Maleficent kicked her out of the room.

"Don't you think that if I could I would do it?!" She did not want to yell at her friend, but it was stronger than her. "And where is that bloody imp!"

"He must protect the kingdom from the ogres. You know that. Push."

"I'll kill him for that." Ursula winced when she heard how she wanted to do it but thanks for that she learned one thing. Never make Maleficent suffer unless you want to die. "He dared to impregnate me and left me alone. That imp!"

"You'll have your revenge later, now push."

Maleficent said something really awful but the sea goddess ignored her and did it until the end.

Half and hour later a soft crying was heard in the room.

"It's a girl!" Ursula grinned and gently wrapped the child in the blanket and then put her on her friend's chest.

The blonde was too exhausted but she was able to look at her baby and smiled broadly.

Along with her husband they decided that they do not want to know if they gonna have a boy or a girl. They wanted to have a surprise although it was quite challenging since Rumple could see the future. But he was able, somehow, to block his powers that he could see everything but not the gender of their child.

"Hello there, little one." She whispered and tears began to run down her cheeks. "Hello, my little angel."

She was in pain less than a minute ago but when she touch her child, when she saw her baby girl, she forgot about everything. Nothing mattered now because her little baby was with her now. And she could not be happier.

"Shh, don't cry, little one, don't cry." She said, ignoring Ursula who just smiled and left the room to inform her girlfriend about their new member of the family. "Mommy is here and will not allow anything to happen to you. You're safe with me."

Rumplestiltskin returned in the middle of the night and it was probably the first time in her entire life when she saw him crying. He fell on his knees next to the bed, where she lay with their sleeping daughter and said nothing, just started crying. Or at least choke with tears, because he did not want to wake the baby.

"Rumple?" She asked after a few minutes because he still said nothing. "Something happened?"

"I have a daughter." He whispered and pointed toward the child. "I have a daughter. And she's so small... my little baby."

"She is." Maleficent smiled. "Do you want to hold her?"

He nodded and a moment later he held his daughter for the very first time. He smiled broadly at his precious child.

"Hello, honey." He said although the baby still slept. "I'm your daddy, you know."

Maleficent grinned when she saw her husband with their daughter. Rumplestiltskin, called by people the Dark One, was known as the most evil wizard in all realm. But right now he was not frightening but rather powerless. Because this little baby stole his (and her) heart.

"Rumple?"

"Yes, dear?" He asked and looked at her for a moment, before returned his gaze at the baby. She chuckled.

"I know we decided that we will name the child Baelfire if it will be a boy and Grace if it will be a girl but..." She stopped and smiled slightly when he frowned. "But I just thought that we should name her Regina."

"Regina?" He raised his eyebrow and she nodded. "It's really beautiful name but why Regina?"

"Well..." She changed her position and now sat down on the bed. "Regina means the Queen. And I already can tell that she's the Queen of your, and mine, heart. And well... she's really pretty baby."

Rumplestiltskin chuckled and nodded, before again looked at their daughter.

"In that case welcome in our family, Regina."
