More Than She Wanted

Remembrance:

Time flies by, and before Regina knows it, she's seven months pregnant and unable to see her feet. And at this rate, she is very pregnant. She can barely stand from a chair without getting any help, and it won't be long before she has to stop working. She barely fits behind her desk anymore.

She's been to several ultrasound scans, and doctor Whale has confirmed Mal's suspicion. They are, in fact expecting girls.

There's been a slight change though. One morning Regina woke up with the name "Amelia" stuck in her head, and when she told Mal, the dragon promptly announced that she actually preferred that name over Anya. And thus, they let go of the name Anya in advantage of Amelia. Emerald and Amelia. It sounds so much better.

They are pretty much ready for the birth. The nursery is done. Completely with two cribs, suitable wall decorations that gives an "Enchanted Forest"-vibe, and of course the two dragon mobiles hanging above the cribs. They are done. All they need are the babies.

Regina takes another bite of her French toast. The babies are moving around and kicking away inside her, and for a second she considers shouting for Maleficent, but decides not to. The dragon has had a very long night thanks to Regina's messed up sex drive. Sure, they have always had a "healthy" sex life, but now it's completely out of control. Literally anything turns Regina on, and Maleficent often has to "pay the price". Not that she complains, oh no. She's more than willing to "assist" Regina.

But still, Regina can't help but feel slightly embarrassed over how her body is acting. Normally she's so calm and composed, but now she's suddenly unable to hide her desire.

Regina sighs and takes another bite of the syrup covered French toast. It's quite lucky Maleficent has magic. A normal human being would not be able to keep up with Regina's sex drive.

Oh well. When the babies are here, they won't really have the time to be intimate, so why not make the most of the time they have left?

Regina's musings are interrupted by a knock on the front door. She waves her hand to swing it open. There's no way she's gonna stand up to open the door. It's not worth the effort.

Footsteps approaches and then Emma, Snow and Zelena enters the kitchen.

,,Good morning," Zelena smiles briskly.

,,Good morning," Regina says and quickly swallows the giant piece of French toast.

,,Where's your dragon?" Emma asks with a little teasing smile.

,,Still asleep." And she probably will be for a while. ,,Do what do I owe the pleasure?"

,,Been a while since I last saw you," Zelena shrugs. ,,So I just wanted to see how you were doing."

,,Oh. Well I'm doing just fine. What's your excuse?" Regina teases Snow and Emma.

,,Quiet day at the station," Emma says and shrugs.

,,And the school is closed because of the snow, so.." Snow doesn't finish the sentence, and Regina nods. It has been snowing quite extremely the last two weeks, and all of Storybrooke is covered in a thick, white coat of snow.

,,Right. It is getting rather cold," Regina agrees and looks at the thick layer of snow.

,,Be grateful you aren't highly pregnant in the summer," Zelena chuckles.

,,I am," Regina assures and scarfs the rest of the French toast down. She briefly considers whether she's still hungry or not. Well, she could definitely eat more if she was offered food, but she decides not to. She can't keep eating like this. She'll never be able to lose the baby weight afterwards.

Regina pushes the plate away. Since she has no idea when Mal is gonna wake up, she might as well clear the table. Which involves standing up. Here comes trouble. Standing up is ever so difficult, and Regina concentrates as she grabs the table to support herself.

,,That looks tricky," Zelena comments as she watching the trouble Regina has with getting up.

,,It is," Regina confirms and pants slightly as she straightens her overloaded back. She wipes her brow and smoothens her cream-colored sweater.

,,Wow. Okay. That was difficult," she mutters and rubs her back.

Snow beams at her. ,,You look lovely."

,,I don't know about that," Regina says and shakes her head a little. ,,I feel kind of huge."

,,I think your size is fairly normal for a twin pregnancy," Zelena scoffs.

,,Right. Tell that to the people I pass on the pavement. They actually have to go around me not to collide with my stomach."

Emma chuckles. ,,Pregnancy is hard."

,,Yes it is." Regina winces as she rubs her back. It seems like she's paying the price for being so enthusiastic last night. Damn it. Maybe it was a bad idea after all.

,,Henry tells me he's gonna be there when you give birth," Emma says.

,,Well, I certainly didn't suggest it. It was his own idea," Regina scoffs. ,,But there's still time, maybe he'll change his mind again."

,,He seemed very keen on being there," Emma points out.

,,He's a very mature seventeen year old," Snow observes with a soft smile.

,,Mature or not, I don't want to traumatize him."

,,I'm pretty sure he can handle a birth," Zelena says. ,,Considering how much he's already seen."

,,Maybe I'll kick both him and Mal out while I scream the entire hospital down," Regina deadpans and feels her lower belly cramp slightly at the thought.

,,Yeah, I don't think Maleficent would take it lightly to be excluded from the birth," Emma says flatly.

,,You can't exclude the other mother, Regina," Snow chuckles.

,,Watch me," Regina jokes. ,,No, you're right, I'm gonna need to curse someone for my misery, and who's better to blame than the one responsible?"

Emma, Snow and Zelena chuckles at that statement.

,,Well, if you had taken the Lamaze class like I suggested, then you would be much better prepared," Snow says and folds her arms across her chest.

Regina sniffs haughtily and continues to clear the table. ,,I am prepared, dear. And honestly, can you imagine me at a Lamaze class? Or Maleficent for that matter?"

Zelena sniggers amused. ,,Not really."

,,We would probably scare the other people there," Regina says dryly.

,,Of course you wouldn't," Snow denies. ,,You are just as normal as other people."

That statement makes Regina splutter. ,,Seriously? We're the oddest couple in Storybrooke."

,,I thought that was Gold and Belle," Emma deadpans.

,,Yes well, they have to make room for us."

,,You are not an odd couple," Snow insists. ,,You are perfect together!"

Regina's lips curls into a smile. ,,The former evil queen and the mistress of all evil? Very perfect."

,,The "Mistress of all Evil" doesn't seem very evil to me," Emma says with a smile. ,,In fact she seems rather.. domestic."

,,You've changed her," Zelena teases.

,,She was already changed when we got together," Regina points out.

Zelena smiles teasingly. ,,Sorry, but I will always find it funny."

,,Find what funny?" Regina questions and wipes another plate.

,,The way you two got together."

Regina sighs deeply and tries her best not to snap. She just has to accept that she will never hear the end of it the whole "one-night stand" thing.

,,Yes, yes, I got drunk and had a scandalous one night stand, ha ha ha," she says sarcastically.

,,It wasn't a very Regina-like thing to do," Emma says and chuckles.

,,No. No, it really wasn't," Regina admits.

,,My jaw nearly dropped when you told us," Snow remembers and laughs. ,,I couldn't believe it. It was so unlike you to do something like that."

,,Believe me, I was just as shocked as you were," Regina shrugs.

The floor creaks upstairs, they hear rustling and bustling from the bedroom, and then footsteps approaching.

Regina's jaw completely drops for a second when Mal appears on the stairs with a sleepy expression on her face. The dragon might be wearing a floor length silk bathrobe, but it's quite obvious that she's wearing absolutely nothing underneath. The amount of cleavage certainly gives that impression, and Regina really shouldn't be turned on by it, but she is, and she completely trails off and drops a cup on the floor.

,,Oh. Guests," Mal observes and quickly waves her hand. A second later she's dressed in a red top and a pair of jeans. Jeans that fits her like a glove, that is.

Are they really supposed to be that.. tight? Regina wonders. And the shirt Maleficent chose this morning isn't helping much either. Her cleavage is very much on display in that shirt. Damn it.

,,I didn't know we had guests. Oops," Maleficent says rather careless.

Regina just mumbles something incoherent and attempts to bend down after the damned cup, but Maleficent is faster and quickly snatches the cup.

,,Here you go, my darling,"

,,Thank you. Excuse me for a second," Regina quickly rambles off and heads straight for the bathroom.

Once in the bathroom Regina leans against the door and sighs heavily. How is it possible to get turned on so easily? Maleficent isn't wearing anything outrageous, and yet Regina is completely hot and bothered.

It's aggravating to feel like a cat in heat. And slightly embarrassing as well. It's like she can only think of one thing these days, and she is constantly horny.

Regina shakes her head a couple of times in an attempt to get the inappropriate thoughts out of her head. She even daps her face with ice cold water from the tab. It helps a bit. But she's well aware that the effect will disappear when she sees Maleficent. Damn it. Maybe she should just stay in the bathroom until her family is gone.

Yeah no, that's probably not a good idea either. Regina turns the water off and wipes her face one last time before leaving the bathroom.

Maleficent is in the process of making her own breakfast while she chats with Emma, Snow and Zelena.

The dragon's eyes instantly light up when she sees Regina.

,,Good morning, my darling."

,,Good morning," Regina says and grins a little at the expression on Maleficent's face. Always the same dreamy smile after a night well spend.

,,How are my children?" Maleficent questions and grins.

,,Very good I think," Regina says and absentmindedly touches her bulging stomach. ,,But I would appreciate it if they didn't kick me in the bladder all the time."

Maleficent sniggers at that statement and gives Regina another soft look.

Regina willingly returns the look and does her very best not to think too much about last night.

Zelena clears her throat loudly. ,,Do you two want to be alone or something?"

Emma chuckles and Snow shakes her head. Her green eyes twinkle with amusement.

,,Oh. Right. You're still here," Maleficent says blithely and shrugs. ,,Oops."

,,Are you done making eyes now?" Emma questions and sniggers.

,,I don't make eyes," Regina denies, even though she is most definitely making eyes.

Maleficent coughs quietly in disagreement and sits down at the table to have breakfast.

Regina politely invites Emma, Snow and Zelena to sit down and have coffee with them. They quickly accept the invitation and Regina waves her hand to make three cups of coffee and one cup of tea appear.

Emma, Snow and Zelena sits down, and Regina mentally prepares herself to do the same. Oh, how difficult it is. She waddles/walk across the floor and is almost at the table when she stumbles over something on the floor and nearly trips.

Maleficent instantly appears by her side and grabs her arm before she actually gets the chance to fall on her face.

,,Are you alright?" Maleficent asks and her brows knit together in concern.

,,Just fine thank you," Regina says slightly aggravated. ,,What was that even?"

Maleficent bends down and snatches the damned object from the floor. ,,A pencil."

,,Who throws pencils on the floor?" Regina snaps irritated.

,,I don't know," Maleficent shrugs. ,,It certainly wasn't me."

,,I hope not," Regina says darkly.

,,Actually it's my pencil," Snow says rather embarrassed. ,,It must have fallen out of my pocket. I'm sorry."

Maleficent looks like Snow just confessed a crime. ,,Regina almost fell!"

,,But I didn't," Regina says quickly. ,,I'm fine. A little perspective, please. And kindly don't be rude."

Zelena sniggers into her coffee.

,,Fine," Maleficent says reluctantly. ,,But please sit down before I get a nervous breakdown. You almost gave me a bloody heart attack."

,,Stop exaggerating," Regina sighs and accepts Maleficent's help to sit down.

,,Thank you," the brunette says reluctantly.

,,One of my many talents," Maleficent quips.

,,Your only talent," Regina corrects her without batting an eye as she slides Snow's pencil across the table.

,,Actually, I can think of another talent," Zelena chuckles.

,,What?" Maleficent questions with a raised eyebrow.

,,Hitting on drunken women," Zelena says plainly and somehow manages to keep a straight face.

Emma and Snow however, hides their amusement in their coffee cups.

,,I don't hit on drunken women," Maleficent huffs indignantly. ,,I hit on a drunk woman."

,,Happy to hear you finally admit you made the first move," Regina says flatly and stares at the ceiling.

,,Now, now, I may have stolen the first kiss, but you definitely initiated the second. And the third."

,,Easy for you to say, I don't remember it," Regina scoffs and takes a sip of the steaming tea.

,,Liar," Maleficent accuses without flinching. ,,I know you remember more than you claim to do."

Regina can't really argue with that, and she simply shoots her wife a nasty look.

,,Busted," Emma says and gives Regina a little, friendly nudge.

,,Really, it was your fault I kissed you. If you haven't grabbed me, I wouldn't have kissed you!"

,,I was just trying to prevent you from breaking your face on my porch," Regina deadpans.

,,Did you trip?" Snow asks and shoots the dragon an amused look.

,,Yes," Maleficent admits. ,,And Regina was kind enough to help me up."

,,That's hardly an excuse for kissing a drunken woman." Regina says flatly.

Maleficent shrugs. ,,My intoxicated brain was under the impression that since you touched me voluntarily, it meant that you shared my feelings, so I kissed you. Simple as that. So really, I didn't plan on kissing you. And I definitely didn't expect you to return the gesture."

,,No? I thought it was some genius master plan of yours," Regina quips and takes another sip of her tea.

,,I don't plot all the time," Maleficent denies and takes a bite of the crispy bacon. ,,And I certainly didn't that night."

,,I did," Regina teases. ,,At one point I think I considered to push you away and ask you what the hell you were doing."

,,But you didn't," Zelena observes with a smirk. ,,Instead you were overpowered by a cunning dragon."

,,That is so not what happened!" Maleficent protests loudly. ,,For the record, I asked her several times if she was sure!"

Regina tilts her head at this new piece of information. ,,Did you?"

,,Yes! I didn't just take advantage of you," Maleficent says and narrows her eyes at Zelena who is still smirking.

,,And what did Regina say?" Snow giggles.

,,Oh, she just asked me to shut up and "get the hell on with it"."

Regina chokes a little on her tea and winces when she's confronted with her own drunken words.

,,And then you warned me to never breathe a word about it to anyone," Mal says and gives Regina a fond smile. ,,Oh, and then you informed me that this was strictly a one time thing that could never happen again."

,,Now there's a lie," Zelena observes flatly.

,,It wasn't a lie at that point," Regina protests. ,,I genuinely didn't know what I was getting into. But I do know I felt terrible the next day."

,,Did you?" Maleficent says and shakes her head in mock sadness. ,,I felt like I had stumbled upon a golden treasure."

,,Well, you certainly looked like your life was over the day after," Snow remembers with a chuckle.

,,I have never been so hungovered in my entire life."

,,You looked like a complete mess," Emma says. ,,And none of us could figure out why."

,,I was determined to keep it a secret."

,,I figured it out in the end," Emma reminds her with a light shrug.

,,Yes you did. You and your damned super powers."

Maleficent sniggers and flashes Regina a cheeky smile.

,,And you weren't much of a help either," Regina sneers. ,,You followed me everywhere."

,,I wanted to see you again," Maleficent scoffs. ,,But your attempts at avoiding me were charming."

,,You kept confusing me," Regina says rather harshly and folds her arms over her growing belly.

,,You were certainly angry enough the next time I saw you. You screamed in my face," Maleficent remembers and dwells fondly at the memory.

,,Did you?" Snow questions and quirks an eyebrow at her former stepmother.

,,Yes," Regina admits with a shrug. ,,I just wanted to be left alone."

Maleficent scoffs. ,,Then you have a strange way of rejecting people. You most certainly kissed me back."

,,And thus, all the sneaking around began," Emma says dramatically.

,,We were very good at sneaking around," Maleficent chuckles.

,,Indeed." Regina agrees with her wife.

,,Suddenly you had quite a lot late night meetings at the town hall," Snow says cheekily.

,,Really, a meeting? That's what you called me?" Maleficent says and shakes her head.

,,I had to come up with something," Regina shrugs. ,,And it worked."

,,Such a well-kept secret," Zelena sniggers with her nose in the coffee cup.

,,Your secret lover," Maleficent teases, and Regina narrows her eyes at her.

,,I really don't like that expression."

,,It was very fun being your secret. But the vague answers you gave every time I asked you whether you would come back or not were positively aggravating. It was always "maybe" or "I don't know". A few times you even said no."

,,As far as I recall, I always came back any way."

,,That you did. And now here we are," Maleficent says and gives Regina's bulging stomach a fond look.

,,Indeed," Regina says and reaches across the table to give her wife's hand a light brush.
