10 months later.

Regina woke up from her sleep. She felt tired. She didn't even remember anymore that it could be this tiring to take care of a baby. Well, to be correct, she has two of them now and a toddler. She could feel Emma beside her, trying to hold her in place with her strong arms wrapped around her. Regina smiled, grateful for Emma's support and love. She knew that together they could handle anything that came their way.

"Darling, let go. They are hungry; I have to go."

"I will go with you." Emma said it with a sleepy voice.

"You just came back from a night shift; I can handle this."

It was awful for Emma for two reasons: for one, this effect that Regina's voice had over her didn't get better with time, quite the contrary, and secondly, she really was in no state to leave the bed. Regina gently kissed Emma's forehead before getting up to tend to their hungry children. As she left the room, Emma couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and contentment, knowing that Regina was always by her side. Emma's heart swelled with gratitude for Regina's unwavering support and love, even in the midst of exhaustion. She closed her eyes, feeling at peace, knowing she was not alone in this journey called life.

"Okay, maybe you are right, but I love you!"

Regina chuckled at this, thinking that she never knew that she would be that happy, finally.

"I love you too, but I need to go now."The babies definitely had Emma's appetite, but also her beauty; thankfully, her toddler would still be asleep. They would be the perfect mix of both of them. Suddenly, Regina felt a hand on her shoulder while sitting in her comfy, large armchair. Looking up, she saw Emma standing there with a smile on her face, ready to join her in the quiet moment. It was in these simple moments that Regina knew they were truly meant to be together.

"Sorry, but I couldn't miss this. To see you here with them is everything I wished for."

"Emma, you are exhausted, darling. Please go back to bed; you will end up on the floor again."

"No! I can be strong!" It didn't help her case that she nearly died from joking while saying that.

"If you go back to bed, I promise I will reward you for your obedience."

"You are cruel for doing this to me. But since you asked so nicely, fine, I will go."

Emma went, somewhat happily and excited, while Regina looked at the babies.

"Listen, you two, you are fed and changed, and I clearly need your help now. Please sleep so I can take care of your mom; she seems needy. Well, we can leave her this desperate now, can we?"

Having magic always helped, but Regina was very happy in these special moments. She put the babies back into their cribs, and the room went all cozy with dimmed lights and music.

While walking back to their bedroom, Regina thought about the last few months; getting rid of Hook was one of her favorite parts. That evil grin she had on her lips followed her up until the bedroom, where she found Emma waiting for her.

"Did you think again about how you banished Hook?"

"You know me too well."

"Well, if you don't mind, majesty, I would like you to pay attention now to your wife. You promised some interesting rewards for my good behavior, and I am here waiting to see if you can keep up your promises."

Early morning sex was one of Emma's favorite activities! She was sure that she would never get tired of this kind of waking up. Emma's playful smirk matched Regina's mischievous grin as they embraced their morning routine filled with passion and promises of rewards for good behavior. The anticipation of what the day would bring only added to the excitement of their intimate moments together.

"Are you questioning you, queen, my love? My, my, aren't we brave?"

It would have been perfect if it weren't for Regina's phone to start to ring. Emma's face expression suddenly changed from all lustful to angry.

"Don't you dare pick this up, as if I don't recognize this particular sound on your phone. Since you made music for everyone, ugh, I swear I will kill your sister! She is doing this on purpose!"

"Darling, come down; how can she possibly know that I was about to devour you? Let me,"

But Regina was interrupted by Emma's strong arms wrapped around her waist, taking her with her towards the bed. Kissing her and nearly leaving her breathless, Regina found herself suddenly more than willing to ignore her sister for a while. As Emma's lips trailed down her neck, Regina's anger melted away, replaced by a wave of desire that consumed her. She let out a soft moan, surrendering completely to the passion that Emma ignited within her.

"You really want me to stop?" Emma said breathlessly, taking her lips away from Regina. That grin on Emma's face was priceless; she knew exactly what Regina wanted, and she wanted it as well. Regina shook her head, pulling Emma back in for another kiss, unable to resist the magnetic pull between them. As they continued to explore each other's bodies, Regina felt a sense of freedom and fulfillment that she had never experienced before.

"As you wish."

One hand movement and both women were lying naked on the bed, magic would come in handy not only when it came towards the babies. Kissing Regina and exploring her body with her hands would always leave Emma wet. Regina's mind raced with desire as Emma's touch sent shivers down her spine. The passion between them was undeniable, and they both knew they were in for a night to remember.

Being married, living together, and raising those beautiful babies that they produced was everything Emma ever wanted. She would be eternally grateful that life gave her a happy ending.
