Emma slid into the black leather passenger seat of the Mercedes with a sigh. She loved the seats in Regina's car, they felt indulgent compared to the bug. As Regina started the car she looked at the cup holder between them and saw a styrofoam cup.

"Oh, I grabbed a milkshake from Granny's for you. I figured it was cold enough to be fine in the car," she said, twisting around to grab her seat belt and pull it over.

Emma picked up the cup and popped open the lid. There was even a swirl of chocolate syrup on the top.

"Spoon?"

"Glove compartment."

She popped it open and saw a white plastic spoon. A fresh wave of tears came over her and she sobbed.

"Emma? What…?"

"I love these soooo much," she sniffed, digging her spoon in. "This milkshake is the greatest thing anyone has ever gotten me."

"I will keep that in mind if I ever need to get on your good side," she smirked.

"You are my good side."

Regina shook her head, "That's…rather unbelievable."

She hummed and turned her attention to her milkshake.

With a belly full of milkshake and the exhaustion of the day settling in on her Emma decided a nap was of an immediate priority. She trudged up the stairs of the mansion and went to Regina's…their bedroom. The brunette helped her get her shoes off and and pulled the blankets up around her.

"Are you tucking me in?" she asked sleepily.

"Maybe," she replied. "Do you need the pillows?"

"Yea."

Regina helped positioned the pillows around and under her which Emma had found she needed to get to sleep comfortably as her pregnancy progressed.

"Now go to sleep."

"Yes, ma'am," she mumbled.

When Regina returned downstairs she found Henry in the kitchen with his grandmother, who was bouncing baby Neal on her hip.

"Henry, you should know better than to let known bandits into our house," Regina clucked disapprovingly as she walked past him and opened the cabinet above the sink to grab a glass.

"I'm here to keep an eye on things while David is serving the warrant. You need to rest too, Regina. You're exhausted."

Regina filled her glass with water from the tap and and drank it down quickly. She slumped against the sink and set the glass down. Just hearing Snow say it made it harder for her to ignore.

"Yea, I am. But…"

"But nothing. Henry and I have got this, go lie down."

"I need food," she mumbled.

"Okay, then go sit down and Henry and I will make you something."

Henry made her the grilled cheese he had suggested earlier and she ate it with no complaint, then drug herself upstairs and tried her best not to flop into the bed and disturb Emma. She lied flat on her back, closed her eyes and promptly fell asleep.

An hour later Emma began to shift around uncomfortably, rearranging her pillows and rolling onto her back, grumbling.

The movements woke Regina and she looked over at the blonde. The baby was probably kicking. She reached over and placed her hand gently on Emma's belly. She felt a kick under her hand. She felt another one but this time it was more than a kick.

A flood of magic tingled against her palm and a teal colored light wrapped around her arm. It was like when Emma had given her a magic boost when she had been exhausting herself with the pregnancy spell. She inhaled sharply and toppled back onto the bed.

Emma popped up onto her elbows with a gasp and looked over at Regina.

"What…what just happened?"

"The baby…magic…I think she…" She sat up and looked at Emma. "She kicked against my hand and then there was a flood of magic. It flowed right into me, it was a light blue-green color." She held her hand up and inspected it like she expected to find some residual mark or sign.

"Junior? Can she do that already? I thought you said…"

"I know, but it—it wasn't your magic, I know your magic and this wasn't it. It was different." She scooted forward on her knees and placed both hands on Emma's middle.

"Come on, sweetheart. Show your mommy what you can do."

She felt the thump against her hand and a brief flash light bloomed under her hand, the same light teal color.

Emma emitted something like a yelp and put her hand over Regina's. She could feel the fading echoes of the magic.

"She knew," Emma said with wonderment. "It's like she knew you needed a recharge." She looked down at her bump. "Junior! You're doing magic and you aren't even out of the womb!"

Regina's mind was running at a million miles and hour. What did this mean? How could they manage an infant that had magic? Maybe it would be limited, maybe they could contain it somehow…

"I can hear the wheels turning over there," Emma commented. "I know, you're worried."

"Well…yea. That was a lot of wattage for a baby. A not even born baby."

"Wattage?"

"Seemed appropriate."

Emma laughed and took Regina's hand. "She'll be fine, Junior will have Senior to help."

"Emma, so help me—we are not naming her Regina Jr."

"Then get busy finding some names."

Regina flopped back into the bed and sighed.


Emma was back in the Sheriff's office the next day. David had been unable to find Blue, she seemed to have vanished into thin air. She was making phone calls; to Mal, to Tinkerbell, even to her OB/GYN to see if anybody knew anything. So far nothing. There was a small part of her that felt if she had done the arresting this wouldn't have happened. She had more experience at tracking and apprehension then her father did. He probably did something that spooked the fairy and gave her a chance to run.

She looked up from her desk and over at her father who was pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"Maybe you should go…do a little canvassing."

"Huh?"

"Walk around, ask some questions. Drop by Granny's. People don't just disappear…well, normally anyway." She sighed and folded her arms on her desk, leaning down to rest her chin. "We've never really talked you know…just us, about…Regina."

He moved to stand in front of her desk and set his coffee down. "Emma, if you're happy then I'm happy. Period. Have I given you any reason to think otherwise?"

"No…I-I guess I'm just feeling insecure."

"Emma, that woman will have to go through all of us to get to you. Including Mrs. Swan-Mills, who I understand throws a pretty mean fireball."

"You know we will have to keep her in check. Regina will want to crush her heart, literally."

"Who's this we? She's your problem now."

"Thanks, Dad."

Later in the day Mal's contact came through. Blue had left a cryptic note stating that she had to disappear for a while but left a list of things she wanted the fairies to gather immediately. The contents of the list were not provided but was expected to be forthcoming.

"Even when we do get that list I don't know if I'll be able to tell much about what she has planned. Fairy magic is…different. All the more reason we need to find her. She has to be within the town limits. She can't be far. I'll find a way to track her." Regina took a sip of her coffee and she sat with the Charmings at Granny's, working out their next move.

Emma came back from the bathroom and slid into the booth next to the brunette.

"That kid really needs to stay away from my bladder," she grumbled. "Did you order for me? I'm starved."

"We did," Snow replied.

"You need to have a talk with your OB/GYN, or find a new one." Regina stated firmly to Emma.

"I'm not getting another doctor, not now. We've talked before about this, it's not her fault Blue is a lunatic. And she has no loyalty to her."

Regina snorted and put her cup down. "That you know of."

"I trust her, so does Mom."

Regina shot Snow a glare that made her gulp nervously. Neither said anything.

"I don't want to talk about Blue anymore, we've hit a wall for now," Emma sighed. "Sometimes its good to walk away from things, clear your head for a little bit. Hey, I know. Maybe you can help us with baby names. She hates Regina Jr," she said, gesturing towards the brunette at her side.

"Rightly so! "

"And Arya is also off the table. No more songs of ice and fire for you."

"I think its a lovely sounding name is all, we could spell it differently."

Emma looked over at her parents. "You must have some ideas. Some ideas for me maybe you didn't use?"

"Ummm…well, I think one we thought about was Nora."

"Ugh!" they both exclaimed.

"Oooookay, Grace?"

"Meh."
