"Lily!" Regina calls through the mansion from where she is cooking in the kitchen. She is still wearing her work clothes but has kicked off the heels in favor of bare feet.

"Yeah whats up?" The young dragon asks coming into the kitchen and sitting at the counter. She reaches out to take a piece of bread off a plate and has her hand smacked by Regina.

"So I have invited Mal over for dinner tonight. It will be a good chance for all of us to get to know each other." she says and Lily looks at her wide eyed for a moment.

"Actually Emma and I were going to-…"

"No you will be here. Mal is going crazy not getting to see you. I have let you lay low here for a few days. Now you need to at least make an effort." Regina says in her no nonsense mom voice.

"What is it with the two of you anyway? Why can you spend time with me so easily but not be in the same room with her?" Regina asks her daughter who sighs looking out the window.

"I dont know-… I have been so mad at her for so long there is an irrational anger inside of me when i see her. She should have protected me. Two mortals shouldn't have been able to take me." she says and Regina looks at her sympathetically.

"please at least try tonight. Wether you like it or not she is your mother and you will need her." The brunette says before handing her a piece of bread.

"Want to help me?" the mom asks and the daughter nods standing.

"sure why not."

-Hour Later

"Regina the door." Lily calls from her place in the spare bedroom that Regina is in the process of converting into her bedroom. She wants her daughter to stay as long as she wants.

"Hi Mal, come in." The faint voices drift up the stairs into the bedroom and Lily sighs before taking a deep breath to steel herself.

"Lily Mal's here" Regina calls up and the younger dragon rolls her eyes.

"Dinner with the moms… why the hell not." she mutters before walking down the stairs. She doesn't see them in the parlor but when she rounds the corner she is met with the sight of her moms standing at the counter drinking wine.

"Oh hey i could use some of that. Can i get a glass?" she asks her brunette mother who nods smiling at her.

"Sure sweetheart." she sits her glass down and moves over to pour Lily one. She looks at her daughter and motions her to great Mal with a nod of her head.

"Hi Mal." Lily says drinking out of Regina's glass.

"Um no." Regina says taking her glass and handing Lily her own. Lily thanks her and the silence becomes awkward.

"Set the table?" Regina asks handing lily some plates.

When Lily is out of the room Maleficant turns to Regina. "She hates me." The dragon says and Regina sighs.

"She just needs time. I'm working on her."

"Come on Regina i'm hungry." Lily says and Regina rolls her eyes.

"She has your patience." The witch says to the other mother. They carry the food into the dinning room to where Lily is sitting at the table.

"I'm going to give Lily lessons on her magic." Regina says to Mal as they all eat quietly. "And i really think you should teach her about her dragon. I don't want you to shift one of these days and not know what to do." Regina explains to Lily who sulks.

"Regina i don't need lessons." Their child groans

"Lily. I either bind your magic or you take lessons." the brunette mother puts her foot down.

"Are you going to let her do that to me?" Lily asks Maleficant worriedly and Mal makes a motion to reply.

"No Mal don't. She has been nothing but rude to you. She doesn't get your help if she is going to be nasty to you." Regina cuts her off with a glare to Lily.

"Lily we don't want you to get hurt. We live in a world of magic and you need to know how to use it." Mal tries to reason in a soft voice.

"Fine." the daughter mutters.

"Okay so we will start tomorrow afternoon." Mal says and Lily takes a bite of her food.

"Fine. Where at?" Lily asks and the dragon looks at the other mother.

"Here in the back yard away from everyone else." Regina says and the others nod.

"Will you teach me how to shift?" Lily asks her dragon mother who looks worried.

"Are you going to try to eat me?" she asks and lily laughs shrugging.

"Who knows what could happen." the young witch says and Maleficant groans.

"She isn't going to hurt you. Your her mother and wether she likes it or not she is going to need you. So no eating. Are you?" Regina says sternly and Lily glares at Mal.

"I'm sorry all i can picture right now is Regina being the top. Did you always roll over for her back in the forest?" Lily asks Mal with a smirk when she sees the annoyed faces of her parents.

"We are not talking about this." Mal says

"so thats a yes than?" Lily laughs finishing off her drink.

"Knock it off." Regina says seeing that Mal is getting upset. Lily pouts and Regina smiles at her child.

"Chill Reggie. Y'all do realize that i am an adult." she mutters

"we cant forget." Maleficant says sadly and Regina looks at her compassionately.

"Well as fun as this is, i would rather be anywhere else." Lily says moving to stand.

"Oh no you don't." Regina says snapping her fingers and freezing there daughter in place.

"Reggie! What the bloody hell!" Lily screeches from where her lower body is frozen to the chair.

"No, we have waited all this time to get to know you and we will get to know you." Regina says pouring her some more wine.

"Well thank you my kidnapper." their daughter snarks at them angrily.

"Will you knock it off. When was the last time you were kidnapped?" Regina says sarcastically while taking a bite of her food.

"When i was sixteen. So like less than ten years ago. Also i was kidnapped before i was born, so i would say the subject of kidnapping is a sore one." Lily retorts and Maleficants eyes widen before glazing with unshed tears.

"You were kidnapped at sixteen?" she asks and lily nods with a mouth full of bread.

"Yeah my dad was a scientist and he got into some trouble. I was kidnapped and held for ransom. But it turned out fine, my dad leveled with them and i was returned." Lily says nonchalantly.

"I'll kill those bitches!" Mal exclaims and Lily busts out laughing.

"Well color me impressed. Momma dragon has the mouth of a sailor." she says chuckling and earning a glare from Regina.

"You are impossible you know that right?" Regina asks her and she nods smirking.

"Its a talent of mine. So how long do i have to play house with the two of you? Don't y'all have boyfriends y'all could be with? or are you guys rekindling?" Lily asks and Regina almost fire balls her daughter there.

"If your this bad at 27 i would not have wanted to see you in your teens." Regina says and Lily smirks slyly making Regina groan.

"I'll let you go under one condition."

"Name it!"

"You clear the table and do the dishes." she says and Lily looks at the table before nodding. Regina lets her go and she scurries off.

"Sorry about that but if i had to hear her mouth much longer i was going to fireball her." Regina says to Mal who nods absent minded.

"She was kidnapped twice Regina." the dragon says softly clearly still very upset by the news.

"I can hear you." Lily calls from the kitchen and Regina rolls her eyes.

"I'm going to end her." she hisses causing Mal to laugh.

"She's totally yours."

"Really i thought the impossible-ness was a dragon trait." Regina counters and they laugh.
