Chapter 7

I know... short chapter... but it's also the last. Read and enjoy :*

Three months later...

Regina rubbed her belly. Little Rose was kicking her hard and she could curse Emma for impregnating her. She hadn't had a good night sleep since a few days. Emma entered the living room and smiled at Regina. "Hey, beautiful. How are you?",she asked and sat down next to Regina. "Your daughter is kicking me in the ribs...",Regina groaned and Emma chuckled. "When she is bad she is mine?",Emma asked and Regina nodded. Emma placed her hands on Regina's belly and searched for the kicking. She smiled when she felt the little foot kicking against her hand.

She leaned down and kissed the spot. "Hey, Rosie. Calm down, your mommy wants to sleep. Give her some rest, okay?",Emma said and caressed Regina's belly. The kicking stopped and Emma smiled. She looked up to Regina who smiled tiredly. "I love you, Em.",she whispered and Emma sat up and pulled Regina in her arms. "Sleep, beautiful. She won't sleep for long I fear.",Emma told her and Regina nodded. She snuggled close and fell asleep in Emma's arms. Emma stroked Regina's belly absent-minded while she thought about their future. What would happen in 4 years?

She heard the door open and Henry entering the mansion. "I'm home!",he called and came into the living room. He saw Regina sleeping and Emma rubbing the huge belly. "She made troubles again?",he whispered and Emma shook her head. "She kicked her but it's not bad. You did that a lot too.",Emma answered and smiled at him warmly. Henry sat down next to them and placed his hand on Regina's belly too. Together they sat there and just rested. It was something they did more often now. It had started when Regina started to show and since then they sat together at least twice a day.

"I like this.",Henry mumbled and Emma looked to him questionably. "Sitting here with you two... even if we are just sitting... Mom promised me that she wouldn't love me less when Rose is born and that we still would spent time together. Maybe not so much because a baby is really time taking but we still would. This is time where I have you two completely for me alone.",he said and Emma cupped his cheek. "We'll always have time for you. No matter what'll happen.",she said and kissed his forehead. "Could you stop squishing us?",Regina mumbled and Emma and Henry leaned back.

"How long did I sleep?",she asked and Emma looked to the clock. "Around an hour. Why are you awake? We were quiet.",Emma answered and Regina put Emma's hand to another spot. She felt a soft kick. "Can I feel it too, Mom?",Henry asked and Regina put his hand on the spot too. Emma took her hand away and stroked over Regina's hair. Henry smiled brightly when he felt his little sister move under his touch. He laid his head on Regina's belly and listened to the sounds in it. Regina stroked over his hair while she leaned further into Emma.

"So... I thought about the thing with us not aging.",Emma started and Regina shot a warning glance to her. Henry looked up. "Maybe someone casted a curse which stuck us frozen in time.",he said and Regina sighed. "That's the problem. WE aren't stuck in time. You, Hansel and hopefully an adult are not frozen... Emma and I are just looking like we were 4 years older or something like that. And Rose was just 4. But you... you were 20. It doesn't make sense... you just told us that you made your first vacation with Hansel and that you are grateful that I made Hansel a potion.",Regina answered.

"But why would you make Hansel instead of yourself a potion?",Henry asked and Regina shrugged. "That's what Emma and I try to figure that out since 6 months... since you caught us on the playground... we are just not getting it...",Regina told him and he thought about it. "Maybe something is keeping you here... maybe someone you two don't want to loose but you need me and Hansel to break this curse..." "True love...",Emma blurted out and Regina and Henry turned to her confused. "Why should Hansel and I have true love?",he asked. "It doesn't matter right now, Henry.",Emma answered. "It does! You think Hansel is my true love?",Henry asked and blushed.

The looks gave them away. "But I... he is a boy...",Henry mumbled and Regina kissed his cheek. "Emma is a girl and still I'm together with her and soon married to her.",Regina told him and he looked to them. "You aren't mad that you won't get grandchildren?",he asked and they pulled him closer. "No matter what you'll do, Henry. We always will love you and if you decide not to have children than it's alright with us.",Emma said and Regina nodded. "Anyway.",Henry said and snuggled closer. "What do you mean, Ma?"

"I mean... my parents send me to Maine because they wanted me to break your Mom's curse. No, beautiful, I don't blame you. Anyway, maybe we send you and Hansel away because you two are destined to break the curse.",Emma told him. "But he will be just 14!",Regina declared and looked at her shocked. "I could never send him away!" "Maybe we have to...",Emma said and Regina started crying. They hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks. "Everything will be alright. Hansel and I will make it.",Henry said. "You told me that we came back from our first vacation. That means that everything is alright than. Don't be afraid. I'll know how survive, thanks to you, Mom."

Regina wiped her tears and kissed his cheeks. "I love you, Henry.",she said and he smiled. "I love you too, Mom. And you, Ma." Rose kicked hard against Regina's belly and hit Henry who leaned against it. Regina hissed and Henry looked down. "Sorry, Sis. I love you too.",he said and laid his head back down. He fell asleep on her belly and Regina smiled. "You still know how to poof us upstairs?",Regina asked and Emma nodded. She grabbed both tightly and than poofed upstairs. They laid underneath the blanket and Emma sighed happily.

"What will we do about this curse?",Regina asked and Emma leaned down and kissed her. "Let's worry about that when the time comes.",Emma answered and caressed her cheek. "We have at least 3 years." Regina sighed. "You are right... I love you, Emma." "I love you even more. You are making me to the luckiest person on the whole world. You are making me feel save and loved... it's all I ever wanted in my life...",Emma said and kissed her before she settled down next to her. "You are my dream come true...",Regina whispered and Emma smiled. She snuggled closer and they all fell asleep.

The end...

Sequel about the curse or not?
