Many where the times that Killian Jones had woken up beside a woman. Many of those times he had felt satisfied or happy with himself and although he did feel happy and satisfied when he woke up beside Emma, he also felt something else. Never before had he felt so... at peace with a strange warm feeling inside of him after making love to well, anyone. He wasn't really sure he had ever felt like this even with Milah and although it scared him a bit, Killian still liked the feeling. A small smile started to grow on his lips, as if his body was happy about feeling like this, as if it had been some sort of goal that he had known nothing about. Emma was sleeping with her head resting on her arm right opposite him and she was so beautiful. At least to Killian she was and if anyone didn't think her beautiful he would believe them to be mad. Her blonde hair was spread out across the white pillows in her bed and when the bright morning sun shined on it through the window you almost couldn't tell that the hair was there. Unable to resist the urge, Killian leaned forward and gave her a gentle kiss to wake her up.

Following Henry to school, Regina couldn't help but remebering the very first time she had done this. He had been so small, but not nervous at all, something that had been a bit hard to take for her at first but know when she knew his birth mother she could at least tell where he got it from. Over by the bus stop she could spot Grace, Jeffersons daughter. As soon as the curse had lifted the first time, she had moved back in with her father and Regina had almost never seen anyone be as happy as he had been in that moment. Of course, that was why they had called him the Mad Hatter in Wonderland, because he kept on sewing hats in hope that they would take him back to Grace and never stopped. She couldn't help but feeling a bit guilty for leaving him behind in the first place, if someone had done that to her with Henry, Regina probably would have killed herself or at least ripped her own heart out to ease the pain. Poor Jefferson hadn't been able to do that so he had gone mad instead, which probably was worse than having no heart for a little while. Now she had to stop and politely say hello and once more apologize, the latter just to ease her own conscience, because Henry and Grace had grown into a pair of very close friends. Maybe that friendship would evolve later, but Regina hoped it would be a while still. She wasn't ready for her little boy to be enough grown up to have a girlfriend, then again she would have another little one in a few months, but that didn't change the fact that she loved Henry with all her heart and wanted to make up for the year they'd lost in ever way she could. Now she saw him get on the bus, not remembering to say goodbye, something that stung a little, but there was no time to feel sad now. She had to call Snow White.

When Regina had called, Snow had been a little suprised since she hadn't heard from her since the dance but whatever she had felt then was nothing compared to what she was feeling now.

"You're pregnant?"

"Jeesh Snow, why don't you say it a little louder, then maybe Canada will hear us to."

They were sitting at Grannys and since it was eleven o'clock on a wednesday, most people was at work, but there were still a few people sitting at Grannys. Luckily, no one seemed to care of their conversation because no one was looking their way.

"Oh, I'm sorry! But... when did you find out about this?"

"A month ago, but by then I was already a month late so I should be in about the eighth week."

"You were a month late? And you didn't bother to check it out before?"

"No. I never had any children with Leopold so I always assumed I was barren."

"I was the only child my mother and father had for over twenty years so that was probably because of him. Oh Regina... So what do you want to do? It is Robins' righ?"

Snow White right, Leopold was about fifty when her mother died and Regina married him and in all that time, the only child Ava and Leopold had was Snow. Regina hadn't gotten any children from Leopold either, and they were married for several years as well. She sighed at her own stupidity for not thinking about that before.

"Yes, it's Robins and I have no idea what to do. All I know is that I want to keep it, it's my first and probably only child that I will ever bear so I'm not about to let someone else have it."

"Okay, but being a single parent? Are you sure that you can handle that?"

"I've done it before, if you remember. With Henry, so that shouldn't be a problem."

"Well, you have my full support. Just a piece of advice from me... tell Robin. You don't have to do it right now if you don't want to, but it's his child to. He has a right to be part of his or hers life if he wants to."ยด

Robin sat on a log by the bondfire in the woods. He and his men had never bothered to get a real house since they got to Storybrooke, they liked it far better in the woods where they were used to be living. Still, Marion had started talking about buying a house to raise Roland in like all of the other families in this town, but he kept coming up with excuses not to, although he was starting to run out of them. But if they did buy a house and move in there like all of the other families that would make it official that he had chosen Marion over Regina and he didn't want that. Because even though Marion was his wife and the mother of his son, he couldn't help but to sometimes quietly admit to himself that he loved Regina just as much as he loved Marion, if not more. He would have to make a decision, soon, he knew that. The only problem was that he wasn't even close to ready for that.
