Well, here's a new chapter, it's kind of short, but hope you like it! I would've posted earlier, but I've been away..

Did you know that Rhea is greek and means "mother of god", seems fitting, or no?

XO

Some time had passed since the hug, and Rhea was walking around in Regina's living room, looking at pictures of Henry. "So, I'm a grandmother?" she asked with a smile on her face.

Regina nodded, "Yes, I adopted him as a baby." Her heart sank a little of the thought of him.

Rhea only nodded and moved to join Regina, who had now moved to sit on the couch. "There are some things that I have to tell you about." She said calmly and put a hand on top of Regina's, who merely nodded.

Rhea continued, "Remember that I have talked about your father?" she continued before waiting for Regina to respond, "He is coming here, along with your siblings."

As much as Regina fought it, her jaw dropped, "I… I… Have siblings?" she managed to say.

Rhea nodded and smiled again, "Yes, you have three sisters and a brother. Your oldest sisters are twins; Hope and Grace, born two years after you were taken from us." She said. Regina could see it was difficult for her to talk about, as Rhea fought the tears. "Your brother; Benjamin, was born three years later." She paused, "And your youngest sister, Rose, or Rosie, as we call her, was quite the surprise," Rhea laughed, "She is seven years old."

Regina let it all sink in, three sisters and a brother? She thought to herself. "And my father?" she asked.

"His name is Samuel, oh; he's going to be so happy to see you. He never stopped trying to get you back you know." Rhea said.

Regina didn't respond, she only sat there, staring into nothing, still shocked about everything she had just been told. They were all coming to Storybrook. Regina didn't even notice Rhea getting up from the couch, nor did she notice her coming back; until she looked up at her. Rhea had changed her clothes, fixed her hair.

"I hope you don't mind, I borrowed some clothes from you." Rhea said and chuckled. She wore one of Regina's black pants and a dark red silk shirt.

Regina shook her head and rose from her seat, still looking at Rhea, "You look so much like me." She stated.

Rhea chuckled again, "Rather, you look much like me honey."

There were a few moments of silence, until Regina cleared her throat, "Well, I think I'm off to bed. You are welcome to use the guestroom, the room next to mine."

Rhea nodded, "Of course honey. And I think I might just do that."

Regina had been lying in bed for a while, but she just couldn't sleep. She thought of Rhea, and her way of calling her honey a lot. She wasn't used to that much affection, but she admitted to herself that she kind of liked it. She also felt curious about her sisters and brother, were they similar to her? She wondered. And of course Samuel, her father, how was he?

There was a soft knock on the door, and Rhea's head peeked behind the door, "May I come in?" she asked.

Regina hesitated, "Uh, alright."

Rhea came walking inside, wearing one of Regina's pajamas, "You can't sleep." She stated, not asking.

Regina nodded, "How did you know?"

Rhea walked closer and sat on the edge of the bed, next to Regina, "A mother knows." She said and smiled softly, before continuing, "You're restless, worried, and in pain. I can feel that." She chuckled when she saw Regina's puzzled face, "It's difficult to explain, but I feel… sort of off balance, I feel like that towards any of my children. But I've felt it much towards you, not only because you've felt much pain, but I think my bond to you is special." She finished.

Regina couldn't help but roll her eyes, really? Feel what I feel, she thought.

"Well, enough talk, lie down." Rhea said.

Regina raised an eyebrow, but did as she was told.

Rhea took her hand started stroking Regina over the head, over her hair. Regina tried to get up, "I am not a child!" she said. Rhea didn't respond, but took her hand and gently placing it on her shoulder, and carefully pushing her back down. When she was lying down again, Rhea moved her hand back to Regina's head, and began humming a tune.

"A lullaby, really?" Regina said.

Rhea smiled, "This is the lullaby I sang for you when you were born, your brother and sisters have their own. It helps them sleep, even now they're all grown up." Regina scoffed and was about to talk, but was cut off, "Now, try and sleep." Rhea said and continued humming.

As much as Regina disliked the whole situation, she couldn't help but feel safe. Soon she felt her eyes getting heavier. After mere seconds, she felt herself drifting off to sleep.

Sooo, any thoughts?

Btw, if you want to listen to the lullaby I picured, it's from the soundtrack of Man of Steel, the track is called "Goodbye my son".
