Here's a new chapter, and it's bigger than the others!

"So does that mean that you're in dangerous?" Snow asked with wide eyes, her face showing how scared she was for the other woman.

"I don't think so." Regina said giving a small smile to the other woman. "I think as long as I don't use magic, I'll be fine. We'll be fine." she said, even herself don't feeling fully convinced. "I don't know. I wish Gold was here." Regina said throwing a hand through her hair and looking down.

Regina made a silent promise as she looks to her belly, that nothing would happen to her little one. That she would make everything in her power to keep her baby safe and sound. But she couldn't help to feel even more nervous, because she had no idea what to expect from the future. Like a blank page. And she was scared to know what would be written there, scared of the unknown, but she knew she had no choice than walk through it and find out. She took deep breaths and focused in the beating of her heart to try to calm her down.

"For what? I'm sure he would only worsen the situation." Emma said with her features hardening.

"I understand that you're mad with him right now, Swan. I do. But that doesn't changes the fact that he's one of the smartest sorcerers we know, and if there was someone who would know how to help me, that one would be him. Besides, he may hate your guyliner boyfriend, but he likes me." Regina said looking to the blonde woman.

"Regina is right." Snow said before Emma could reply. "Gold would know what to do. But there is one thing I didn't understand. You're pregnant for a few weeks, why this is only affecting you now?" Snow asked, sitting aside Regina.

"Since Robin and I.. " she said as she swallowed hard not because she's a prude, she has never been a prude, but because memories of him caressing her arms with his hands appears in her head, and oh, how she misses him. "Slept together, I didn't need to use any magic. Today was the first time. So it makes sense that I didn't feel anything until now."

They nodded, understanding what she said.

"Regina, I know we weren't in the best place before, but I saw that you changed. You have been treating me and my family with nothing but kindness. Please promise me that you won't search for Maleficent? I don't want you to get hurt." David said, his voice full of concern, as he walks close to her and bends down in front of her, placing one of his hands on her knee.

"I promise I won't search for her, but I also don't want to stop living my life. I'll go to the supermarket, and to the things that I usually do." she said looking into his eyes.

"Fair enough."

David smiled and got up again, walking closer to his wife and putting an arm around her.

"I think it would be good for you to go to a doctor and make prenatal, Regina." Snow said, joining her fingers with the fingers of her husband and looking at the brunette.

"Sorry if I'm not looking forward to open my legs to Whale." Regina said grimacing with the thought.

"He's not the only doctor in town. Do you really think I'd let him get between my wife's legs again?" David asked, raising his eyebrow.

"You kind of did, when Neal was born." Snow said joking with him.

"Only because I had no options, our baby decided to be born earlier than we thought and your real doctor was in another hospital at that moment."

"You're right." Snow said with a smile, stopping playing with him. "My real doctor wasn't him. My obstetrician was a woman named Giselle." Snow got up and picked up a paper from the table. "When you decide to go to a doctor, I think you should see her." she said giving the paper with Giselle's numbers to Regina.

"Thank you" Regina said touched by their concerns.

They talk for a while longer and then Regina went to the supermarket. While she was there, she noticed that some men turned to watch her as she passed. She was a strong independent woman and she knew she was irresistible. She had pretty nice curves, captivating brown eyes, a glowing soft skin and luscious lips that everyone would die to kiss. She knew she could have any man she wanted, but there was only one she wanted.

She sighed and as she turned to the meat section, she saw a couple with a small boy in their hands. The boy seemed to have 3 years old. He was in his dad's lap and the woman had a hand placed lovingly around them. The boy raised his hands and put them in his dad's face, playing with his dad's nose. Regina smiled as she remembered the day she officially met Roland.

It was after the memories came back to Henry. At first, he was extremely happy for having his memories back and wanted to talk and share it all with Regina, but then he remembered of his father and he tensed up and Regina asked what he was thinking. He said that he wanted to see his father's grave, but he didn't want to leave her. She said that was ok, that he should have this moment alone with his other mom. He leaved with the Charmings but not before giving one last glance at his mother. Their eyes met and Regina nodded and smiled, assuring him that she was fine.

"So where do you want to go now?" she asked, bringing her body closer to Robin and placing both of her hands around his neck.

"Anywhere near you." he said with a huge smile on his face as he put both of his hands on her face and leaned in, giving a sweet peck on her lips that felt so natural, so them. "But-" he said, giving a brief pause. "Since you asked, I think is about time for you to meet my son, Roland."

Regina started to feel nervous an anxious at the thought of meeting him. From what Regina saw from the times she spend watching them distantly he was an adorable boy, very attached to his father. She knew how important Roland was to Robin, and she was happy that he was willing to introduce the both of them. It made what they had seem more real, because truthfully, she thought she was living a dream. He understood her past, he made her smile fairly, he liked to open doors for her and he was a true gentleman. He made her feel profoundly loved, something she forgot how it felt like. Sure she had Graham, but with him it was just a fling, a fleshly thing and nothing more. It didn't involve feelings. With Robin it was totally different. She could feel in his soft touches, she could see in his expressions how much he cared about her. And the feeling was mutual. So she was happy that he wanted her to meet his son, but she was also nervous thinking about what the boy would think of her.

"Are you sure?" she asked, looking into his eyes. "What if he doesn't like me? What if he thinks you are in danger by being with me?"

She was feeling insecure. She knew that if the boy didn't like her, they'd be in trouble. She could see in his eyes that he understood why she was feeling that way, but that he didn't see a sense in it.

"No more "what if", Roland knows you're not the Evil Queen anymore, and I know he will fall in love with you very quickly, just like I did." he said as he caressed her face with his thumb.

She smiled and she kissed him, trying to show in the kiss how grateful she was to have someone like him in her life. He always knew exactly what to say to calm her down.

"Roland is at the camp with my merry men, so what do you think about I pick him up there and meet you at your house?" he asked really wanting to know if she was ok with this.

"That sounds great."

The tone of her voice was enough for him to know that she was ok with meeting Roland and now that a little of her fear was gone, she was actually excited to meet him. She went to a candy store and then went to her house to wait for them to arrive. After five minutes, she heard the doorbell ring and she straightened her clothes before she went to open the door.

"Hi." Robin said with a smile.

"Hi" Regina said smiling back.

"Roland, this is my girlfriend Regina, Regina this is my son Roland."

"Hi Roland" Regina said bending down and placing a kiss on his little cheek.

"Hi" Roland replies smiling and kiss her cheek too. "Daddy was right, you're quite beautiful." he said looking into her eyes.

"Thank you."

She blushed and hugged him, kissed Robin and then gave them room to enter in the house.

"I bought something for you, Roland." Regina said as he walked to the kitchen to grab the candy she bought for him.

"For me?" Roland asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, for you."

Regina took the candy and gave it to him.

"You bought me a bag of chocolate cookies!" he said with enthusiasm in his voice.

"Indeed I did." she said smiling seeing the happiness in his face. "Your dad told me that this was your favorite candy so I thought I'd buy them for you."

"I think you have something to say to her, little man?" Robin asked cheerfully.

"Thank you so much Gina." Roland said giving her another hug. "Can I please eat them now, daddy?" he asked making a cute face.

"Yes, you can."

Roland let out a small yell and started to open the bag.

"Roland, what do you think about watching a movie while you eat it?" Regina asked to the small boy.

"Ok! What can we watch?"

Regina showed the movies she had in her house, and Roland picked up Tarzan. They sat down at her couch, and for the next hour they watch the movie and smile and laugh with Roland comments. At the end of the movie Roland yawned, and Robin caught him in his lap.

"I think is time for someone's afternoon nap." Robin said ruffling Roland's hair.

"But daddy I don't want to sleep now." Roland said making a sad face a bringing his little hands to play with his father nose.

"If you don't get your afternoon nap you'll get all grumpy and we wouldn't want that, would we?"

Roland shook his head and sighed, giving up. Regina lead them to a bedroom upstairs and after Roland was properly placed on bed, Regina and Robin went back to the couch.

"I'm so glad Roland liked me." she said sitting next to him on the couch.

"I told you he would fall over heels for you."

He put his hands around her waist and brought her closer to him. He buried his hands on her hair and kissed her lips tenderly. She sighed happily and he used that to put his tongue in her mouth, exploring every space of it. She brought her hands to slip through his back, and she moans when she feels him biting her bottom lip. She feels their tongues twisting together and she feels a fire starting to burn inside herself. She found herself craving for him more than she ever did, wanting him there. As she was about to intensify the kiss, she heard her phone ring. She sighs frustrated and parted their lips for just a few inches.

"I gotta take that. It could be important." she said with a heavy breath.

She got up from the couch and picked up her cell phone on the table. It was Emma who was calling.

"Hi Emma." Regina.

"Regina," Emma said with a rushed voice. "My mom went into labor. We're going to the hospital now and we'll need you and Robin there."

"Ok, we'll be there."

Regina put her cell phone back on the table and Robin noticed her expression.

"Is something wrong?" he asked as he got up from the couch.

"Snow went into labor and we need to go the hospital now" she said looking at him.

"Oh." Robin said surprised. "I'll let Roland at the camp and I'll meet you in the hospital, ok?" he asked.

"Ok."

They went upstairs and Robin came down with a sleepy Roland in his arms. He was still sleeping, resting his head on his father's shoulder.

That day was a huge surprise, but almost everything was a good surprise. Regina thought, coming back to the present. She knew that love had the power to change someone. Since she was a little girl, she hoped that her mother could love her enough to make her to want to change. It never did. Her mom never changed and always stayed the same way, controller and manipulative, never trusting in anyone. But Regina felt that Henry's love changed her, and later, Robin's love changed her even more. It brought a part of her that it was long gone, a part that she missed. And with Robin gone, it was like a part of her was gone too. She sighed softly and finished her grocery shopping.

She finished putting the groceries in her car's trunk and she saw someone that looked a lot like Gold entering a deserted street. She closed the trunk and followed that person. She ended up in a dead end street, and the man she thought it was Gold was talking to three women. One of them was Maleficent. Of course, she thought as she hissed. The only way Maleficent could be back was with his help. She turned to leave, knowing that if she went there she would start a fight that she couldn't win. A fight that would put her child in dangerous. But after a few steps, she felt someone following her. She turned to face the person, and it was Gold.

"How dare you to follow me?" she asked angrily.

"Regina, I just want to explain everything to you." he said getting closer to her.

And suddenly, the anger was too much. Every little thing he did to her was running into her head. He was to one who made her to use magic. Even after Daniel died, she was ready to runaway alone, to pursue the life she wanted. Without magic. But he found her, and with his handler speech, he made her to get back to the castle. He made impossible for her to use magic against Snow, only for her to cast the curse that he needed. She was foolish to defend him and think that he liked her, she was only a puppet in his hand.

"You made me believe that you liked me. You made me believe that you wanted a happy ending for me. You lied to me!"

"Regina, everything I said to you that day in the car was true!"

He tried to calm her down, but it was no use. The anger she was feeling was so intense that she stopped to listen to him, stopped to think about everything. The only think she could focus on was in the hate she was feeling. So she conjured a magic and it was about to throw it at him, when it backfire at her. She felt her body being thrown back, but it didn't reach the floor. Gold used his magic to prevent her to collide with the ground and instead, she was poured gently to the ground. But when she tried to get up, she failed and she felt herself begin to lose consciousness. Gold approached her with a surprised look in her face.

"You're pregnant!"

"You brought these three women.." but her line was unfinished as she closed her eyes and lost consciousness completely.

She woke up in a bed, feeling dizzy. When she opened her eyes, she immediately realized she was in the author house. Gold and the three women were around her. She got up quickly, fear burning in her veins and she tried to reach the door.

"Darling, don't be so dramatic." she heard the woman she knew it was Cruella saying with a creepy smile in her face.

She decided to ignore the woman, and turned to Gold.

"You brought these three women to town to kill me."

"There you go, dramatic as I said." Cruella said sighing playfully.

"Shut up, dog one. I'm not talking to you." Regina snapped back.

"Easy, you two. Stop." Gold said getting closer to Regina. "They're not here to kill you. They're here for the same reason as you. They think they deserve their happy ending and they want it."

Regina was taken aback by the revelation.

"And how do you plan to get it?" Regina asked.

"By simply taken it. We don't care for what we do to have it." Maleficent said.

"If we do bad things, we won't get our happy ending." Regina said, crossing her arms.

"Well, trust me, I tried to be good and it didn't work. We're hoping we could join us." Ursula said.

"Sorry but I'm not interested. I know that if I want to have my happy ending, I have to stay in the good path. Why do I have the sense that I'm either with you, or against you?" Regina asked.

"It's not like that at all, friend. You can get out of here safely even if you decide not to join us." Maleficent said.

"Just don't get on our way." Cruella said.

And Regina remembered the day she said this to Robin, and she felt a pain in her chest. And she refuse to reply the same thing, because it was their thing.

"Ok then. I'm going." Regina said walking out the door.

She got out of the house and saw her car there, and Gold was right behind her.

"Regina, I realized why your magic backfired. You're pregnant. But I promise you I won't tell anyone." Gold said with a kind face.

"Do.. do you know anything that could help?"

The anger she was feeling of him, now that she knew that he didn't bring those three to town to kill her, was now gone.

"Sadly, not. You could use some of those bracelets to block your magic, but in your state, it would be dangerous because when you would finally be able to put the bracelet down, your magic would return in full force and it would be unpredictable. Your mother suffered from the very same thing when she was pregnant of you but she never told me how she dealt with it. I guess she just stopped making magic while she was pregnant."

Gold said and Regina nodded.

"If you find something, would you let me know?" Regina asked.

"Sure." Gold said smiling.

"Thank you."

She smiled back at him and started to make her way towards her car.
