Authors note: I'm so sorry it's been so long, school has been a bitch! To make up for it, an extra long chapter ;)

"Regina Mills and Daniel Reyes." A small blonde nurse called over from the doorway.

Daniel stood up first and then helped regina up of the hard and uncomfortable chairs in the hospitals waiting area.

He al but dragged Regina to the door of the examination room.

"Daniel, calm down." Regina said to him as she rubbed her wrist from where her fiancé had roughly pulled her with him.

"How can I?! We're going to find out the gender of our child!" He said with the biggest grin that was humanely possible.

Regina chuckled softly. He was so cute when he was overexcited.

They walked into the small room. Dr. Cross was already waiting on them. She smiled at them and stood up from behind her desk so she could shake hands with the both of them.

They sat down on the chairs that were placed in front of the desk.

"So Regina." The red haired doctor began. She grabbed the small yellow file out of one of the desk drawers."How have you been feeling?"

Regina rubbed the obvious swell of her stomach with a smile. "I've been feeling great, even though my hormones are all over the place."

Daniel nodded. "I can vouch for that."

That comment earned him a playful slap on the shoulder.

"Shut up, Daniel. Nobody asked you."

He chuckled, messing with an hormonal Regina is so much fun. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

Regina's eyes narrowed, warning him so as not to make another comment. He pretended to 'lock his lips' and threw away the key.

"Well I'm glad to see that your relationship is going great. Most couples put intimacy and stuff like that on a low pit when the woman is pregnant." The doctor spoke up and she scribbled something down on an empty paper in the file.

"Now, Regina. Could you please change behind the screen and then lay down on the table?"

"Alright." She answered and she handed Daniel her purse.

Regina stepped behind the screen and quickly undressed. She put on the ugly hospital gown and walked over to the table. Daniel stood up from his chair when he saw Regina emerge from behind the pale yellow dressing screen.

He reached out his hand for Regina to grab so she could get on the table.

Regina sat down and smoothed the krinkels out of the ugly gown.

She laid down on her back, the table was hard and uncomfortable on her already aching back. You would think that they would hold that into account, seeing that this is the maternity ward.

Daniel stood next to her and grabbed her hand, she could see that he was excited, a wide grin spread across his face. He's like a child sometime times. And god, don't I love it.

Regina pulled the hospital gown out of the way so that her small, but obviously there baby bump was visible.

Dr. Cross grabbed the gel out of one of the many cabinets and walked over to the table.

"You know the drill, this is going to be cold." She said and she spread some of the cold gel on Regina's stomach, who shivered at the feeling of the cold substance on the warm skin of her belly.

Regina swore she heard a small squeak coming from her fiancé when the ultrasound connected with her belly and their child appeared on the screen. She looked up at him and saw him staring in trance at the screen that showed their baby.

The doctor moved the device in slow circles around on her stomach, trying to find a good angle so that they could find out the gender.

"And?" Daniel asked, not looking away from their precious child.

"Let me just..." The doctor began but stopped when she finally had the good angle.

She smiled down at the couple, they were both looking at the screen with confused expressions, trying to see if they could find something familiar like a nose or something. But they couldn't.

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes." They both answered eagerly in unison.

The redhead took a moment longer to build up the tension. "It's a girl." She said with a smile.

Regina felt tears of joy stream down her cheeks. She stared at the screen that show their child. Their little girl.

Daniel pinked away a tear that was threatening to fall. "A little girl." He said in amazement. "Daddy's little princess."

He looked down at Regina and kissed her passionately.

When they pulled apart for air he looked at the screen again.

"That's our daughter."

...

Daniel and Regina walked hand in hand over the hospitals parking lot and towards their car.

Daniel pulled open the passenger door and stepped out of the way. "After you, ma'am."

"Why thank you, sir." She said with a smile and stepped inside the black vehicle.

The moment the door closed, Regina's cellphone went off. She quickly reached inside of her purse and grabbed it. The number was familiar and Regina had to think a moment before remembering. It was the number of the school. Henry!

"Regina Mills."

"Miss Mills, it's Mr. Thompson, the principal of Storybrooke Middle School."

"What's going on, Mr. Thompson?" She asked, dread filling her stomach.

Daniel stepped in the car and wanted to ask who was calling but he was quickly hushed by Regina's hand on his mouth. He stopped speaking but she still kept it in place and she continued the conversation.

"Well, it's about your son, Henry Mills."

"What about him? Did something happen to him?"

Daniel furrowed his brows in confusion but still kept his tongue.

Mr. Thompson must've heard the worry in her voice because he quickly put her mind at ease. "No, Miss Mills. Everything is alright, it's just... Henry has been in a fight, he has been suspended, so he needs to be picked up. Can you pick him up or do I need to call sherif Swan?"

"No it's fine, I'll be right there."

Regina ended the call with a sigh, she let go of Daniels mouth.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Henry has been suspended, he got into a fight." She sighed again. "This is so not him."

Daniel was confused, this didn't sound like Henry at all. He started the engine and it sprung to life with a rattle. "Let's go and get him, okay. Then he can explain."

Regina nodded and rubbed her stomach.

"Let's go and get him."

...

"Miss Mills, Mr. Reyes." The principal said and he shook them both the hand. "Henry is sitting in my office."

Regina nodded and the both of them followed the man through the hallway and into the big office.

Henry was sitting on a chair in front of the desk, he was looking down in shame.

The boy looked up when he heard the familiar clinking of his mothers ever present heels.

"Henry." Regina said with a sigh, letting the boy know that she was disappointed in him.

She sat down on the chair next to him. and Regina went to stand behind her, putting his hands on her shoulders in silent support. Mr. Thompson walked around the desk and seated himself in his black leather office chair.

"What happened? This is not like Henry at all." Daniel asked.

"Well, Henry here got into a fight with one of his classmates, Joey North." The principal said while he weaved his hands together and rested them on his belly.

"Why did you fight with that boy, Henry?" Regina asked in a clam voice and looked her little boy in his big brown eyes.

"He was teasing me." He said in a soft voice. "I'm sorry."

Regina felt rage swell in her chest. "And is this Joey being punished for bullying my son?" Regina asked the principal.

"Joey has detention every day for a week."

"That's it?" Regina asked in surprise.

"To be fair, Miss Mills. Henry is the one who started the fight."

"But if that boy hadn't been teasing Henry, under your supervision." Daniel spoke up. "He wouldn't have started the fight."

"That may be true, Mr. Reyes. But we can't tolerate violence."

Daniel wanted to snap back at him but Regina interrupted. "We understand, Mr. Thompson. I would like to take my son home now."

"Of course Miss Mills." He said while he stood up to let them out.

...

The car ride was silent. At least, that was until Henry spoke up. "So am I going to have a brother or a sister?"

Regina couldn't help but smile when she answered. "You're going to have a sister, Henry."

"Awesome!" He answered with a big smile.

"But you're still grounded."

"But mom..." He stared with a whine.

"Henry." Daniel warned him.

"Fine." Henry answered with a pout.

Daniel turned of the engine and the three of them stepped out of the car.

Regina turned the key in the door and opened the front door.

"From now on you're grounded for a week. Go to your room, Henry."

"Okay, mom." He said and he walked up the stairs with his head bowed.

Regina walked over to the kitchen and dropped down on one of the chairs.

"You know it's not just about the teasing, do you?" She asked.

Daniel shook his head in the negative. "No, something else is going on."

"Would you mind talking to him? You know, man to man." Regina asked with a soft voice. "I got the feeling that he didn't want me to know."

"Of course, I wanted to suggest that myself too." Daniel said and he walked up the stairs.

He stopped in front of Henry's room. There was a small sign on his door. Keep out, dangerous.It said in big black letters that stood out against the yellow background. He had hung that up for Henry, just after the boy moved back in. Regina had almost killed him for drilling holes into her pristine white doors.

He knocked on the door and heard a muffled 'come in' from behind it. He stepped into the room and sat down on the bed where Henry was sitting and reading some sort of action hero comic book.

"Do you want to tell me why you hit that boy? The real reason?" He asked calmly, remembering what Regina had told him about how to talk to children.

Henry furrowed his brows in thought. "Maybe..."

Daniel cocked his head to the side, silently urging the boy to tell.

"It's just that, if I tell you, you need to promise that you won't tell mom."

He held up his right hand. "I solemnly swear, that I'm up to no good. And that I won't tell your mother."

Henry laughed at the Harry Potter reference, the three of them had watched the first movie last Friday and Daniel was so hooked that he watched all eight of them in one week.

"They were saying stuff, bad stuff."

Daniel sighed. "Let me guess. They were saying stuff about your mother."

Henry nodded and a tear escaped his eye. "Very mean stuff."

"Oh Henry." Daniel said and her pulled the little boy into his arms. "I know it's hard, but you have to promise that you won't use violence like that. Those people don't really know your mom, not like we do."

Henry let out a soft sob. "It's just not fair."

He held the boy tighter. "I know Henry, I know."

...

"And?" Regina asked when Daniel walked into the kitchen. She stopped cutting the vegetables.

Daniel shrugged. "I'm sorry Regina, it's a man code. You don't talk about what's being said in someone's bedroom, sitting between batman comics."

Regina sighed. "Fine, I understand. But did you make sure that he knew that violence is not the way."

"Of course I did, darling." He said and he kissed the crown of her head.

"I'm going to try and be the best dad I can be. For our little girl and for Henry... if he wants to."

Regina felt a tear roll down her cheek. "I love you."
