Life, Love and the Future.

Disclaimer: I don't anything except the way in which I've arranged the words, unless it's an original character, I own those.

Summary: This takes place 5 years after Henry brings Emma to Storybrooke. Its canon divergent pretty much from when they arrive back from Neverland and its established/married SwanQueen, we will see bits and pieces from their past relationship as it progresses. It's also pretty OOC for the current characters on the show, but I like to think it's what could've happened had they handled the characters with any kind of continuity whatsoever and you know was on HBO or something. It's pretty much romantic smut with some plot tossed in. I can get a bit kinky at times. I will try to disclaim things at chapter heads as the need arises. The story overall will be essentially Emma G!P or Emma M!C at various time throughout. I want to make it clear that as a cisgendered, white, gold star lesbian that I am in no way trying to represent anyone's community accurately in this story. It's simply me telling a story about fictional characters and how I would like to see them interact both sexually and not. Now the actually gist of the summary is this; Emma and Regina have decided to expand their family and this is that tale.

A/N: The goal is to post a new chapter every Saturday, I'm several chapters in already so it should be doable. I've played fast and loose with the timeline as baby Neal is in it, even though he was born after my AU branches off and there's a few other things and events that'll be included like that. This is my first time writing SwanQueen and my first time writing any kind of fiction in 5 years, so be gentle with me ;)

Chapter 1

*June*

Henry Swan-Mills stepped out of his room with a yawn and after a pit stop in the hallway bathroom, started down the stairs to begin his usual weekend activities. At 15 he was allowed some independence on the weekends, around the time he had turned 13 his mom had decided that he could get himself up and indulge in cereal or poptarts on those two days of the week. Regina Mills had never been a morning person, much to the surprise of anyone who discovered this fact. Henry being someone who was always up between 6 and 6:30 had driven her crazy for years on the weekends, it didn't escape his notice that his weekend freedom had coincided with the same time his other mother had moved into the mansion almost two years ago. He shuddered then when the brief thought crossed his mind of why his parents usually spent until 10:30 or 11 in the bedroom on the weekends. Fortunately he quickly stopped thinking as he shoved the corner of his poptart into his mouth, slid his headphones on and fired up his Xbox in the living room of the mansion.

Emma stirred at the sound of the toilet flushing and footsteps on the stairway, she tended to be a light sleeper, with any little noise waking her to middling awareness, until she could ascertain if the disturbance needed dealing with. It didn't this time and she rolled away to glance at the clock, 6:29 am it read. Sighing Emma ran her hand through her shaggy blonde hair. She'd come home almost a year ago with it cut off at the nape of her neck and layered. Regina hadn't been happy with the change, going so far as threatening to grow it back magically while Emma slept. But Emma had used those damn eyes on her and asked her to give it a chance, so she had. Now Regina was rather fond of her wife's shortened locks, they suited her personality better also her well-muscled body. It was very gratifying to grab it in the throes of passion, holding Emma closer to her body, her hands, and nails sometimes even, dug deep into the thick, short blonde hair. The blonde groaned and rolled back over; resuming her position spooned up behind her wife and buried her face in dark waves while wrapping an arm tightly around Regina. Emma never could understand where Henry got his early morning personality from, certainly neither of his mother's with that last thought she drifted contentedly back into slumber.

At 8 am the alarm in the master bedroom started screeching, a tanned arm shot out from the blankets and smacked at the offending device until it stopped making noise. Regina groaned, her arm slipping back into the warmth of the covers, she turned her head into the arm she slept on that belonged to her blonde wife. Emma stirred behind her, tightening her hold as Regine traced lazy circles on the back of the arm and hand wrapped around her. With a shiver at the light touch and a kiss to the back of her wife's head, Emma said, "You came to bed late, long night babe?"

Regina perked up at that and she turned in Emma's arms, "Yes, but it was worth it! I found it Emma, I found the way for us create a baby!" Her excitement was palpable and contagious as Emma pulled her into a deep kiss, the older woman kissed her back, their passion igniting and responding to each other. Regina felt a tongue swipe across her bottom lip and she moaned into the kiss, parting her lips to allow access, Emma moved then to roll on top and settle between her thighs. Regina let out a half laugh, half moan when her wife moved down to suckle, kiss and lick along her jaw down to her neck where she lightly sucked just behind her ear, a particular sweet spot of the brunette, "Hmm, hang on love. Just wait, I need to tell you about the spell I found before we get too carried away," she pushed at Emma's shoulders trying to emphasize her point.

Emma gave a pout and rolled onto her side propping herself up on an elbow, "Sorry, got carried away in the moment. A baby, Regina! We can really make a baby?!" The hope in her voice brought that shining happy, gleam to her wife's eyes and Emma loved putting that look there.

"The spell I found will allow us create a life together, it's fairly complicated and like all magic, it comes with a price," Regina began. "Does it have us taking a life?" Emma asked and at the look Regina gave her continued, "Then the price is irrelevant, whatever it takes 'Gina, I want to do this with you." Regina smiled that soft, melting smile and the vein on her forehead came into prominence as she placed a soft kiss to Emma's lips, she pulled away after a brief indulgence, that threatened to lead into further things. "I'm not sure how much time it will take for me to gather the ingredients and I have to write the actual incantations and the body of the spell. What I found was really just a spell template and an ingredient list. It definitely incorporates pleasure into our end goal, I know that's something you were hoping for," Regina smiled indulgently at her wife. "The spell would link us together," at Emma's raised eyebrow Regina added, "more than we already are darling, the gist is when I am ovulating, your body will react to it. Put more simply Emma, for anywhere from 2 to 7 days you'll have a penis, it will only be there while I'm ovulating and we can...utilize it… and once I'm done ovulating it will go away until the next month, unless we conceive then it just won't. Emma smiled wider, "That sounds pretty good, 'Gina. We already play with magic cock anyway, I enjoy it and I know you do too," Emma smirked then and moved in for a kiss.

Regina stopped her with a hand to her shoulder, "I'm not talking about a magic cock Emma, not like you're used to at least, not like we're used to. An actual penis Emma, a flaccid, testicle wielding penis that will become erect when you're aroused, that will be around for that whole time, not disappearing when we're done or going away when it's inconvenient. You'll have for it every moment that I'm ovulating, you'll have to urinate with it, sleep with it, work with it, live with it, Emma." At Emma's open mouth the brunette woman placed a finger to her lips, "I'm not trying to dissuade you my love, by any means, I just need you to understand that this, it would different from anything you've handled before," Emma smirked and Regina rolled her eyes, "Alright, not to different, when it's erect at least. But it could be a burden for you, especially for the first few times the cycle runs as you adjust, there's no guarantee that we'll conceive on the first cycle or even the first few. Magic can only carry us so far, once the spell is cast we'll be like any other couple trying to conceive."

Emma nodded along as her wife spoke, it all sounded fine to her, a little different and she wasn't entirely sure how she felt about having a penis once a month. But she knew she wanted another child with Regina, one they raised together, they loved Henry, but they both had a soft spot for children and wanted nothing more than to add to their family. When Emma had no real desire to carry again she had talked a reluctant Regine into going into the OBGYN at the hospital to be checked out and find out if she could conceive or not. Emma's argument being that Regina had always had regular periods since she'd been aware of them and that meant something must have changed since she'd taken the infertility potion all those years ago.

Regina had admitted then that she hadn't been regular until she'd cast the dark curse and come to Storybrooke, after a few tests it was determined that Regina was indeed fertile and Dr. Hendricks (their OBGYN) couldn't see any reason why she couldn't conceive and carry a baby to term. Shortly after they'd begun tracking her ovulation cycles and researching for magic methods to conceive with same gendered parents.

Dr. Joann Hendricks had offered her hypothesis that the infertility spell had been broken when she'd cast the dark curse, simply put, the dark curse was meant to bring Regina her happy ending and for Regina, that meant more than just a true love, but also children, the dark curse being the most powerful curse to date broke the infertility spell making it so that she could find her happy ending. "It doesn't sound like anything I can't deal with, I like that it gives us a pleasurable way to conceive and I can't think of any reasons why not go through with it," Emma finally stated, after mulling it over.

"There's more darling," Regina cupped her wife's cheek as she began the next part. "The price for this magic comes from you, in order for me to cast the spell and link our body chemistries I'll essentially have to perform a magical hysterectomy on you. You'll never ovulate again or menstruate for that matter, even if conception happens, that part will be permanent and irreversible." Regina swallowed thickly and waited for Emma's response.

Emma slung an arm around her wife's waist, "I'll still be a woman right?" At Regina's nod she continued, "We didn't plan on me carrying again anyway and never dealing with cramps again? That sounds pretty fantastic," the blonde paused then as a thought occurred to her, "Will I go through menopause?" At Regina's laugh she frowned, "Serious question!"

"No darling, it being a magical process it's all very clean," Regina chuckled again at the look of relief on her wife's face. "There is a possibility also, that if we do conceive, once I give birth," Regina swallowed back the emotion just making that statement brought forth in her, "Once I begin ovulating again the spell may be still be active, the template didn't seem to have a concrete completion, just that the addendum to your anatomy would take place until a child was conceived. I know that we haven't really talked about more kids after, but what are your thoughts on that?"

A huge grin erupted on Emma's face then, "I've always wanted a big family, while I now have a larger one than I ever really dreamed, a house full of kid's sounds amazing!" Her face fell then, "Unless you don't want that! Then I suppose, if need be, we could abstain for those days, or utilize more conventional methods of birth control?"

Regina shook her head at that, "We are not abstaining from sex!" Emma laughed at her wife; they both had rather voracious sexual appetites and complemented each other very well in that department. "We can discuss more kids if and when it becomes an issue afterwards, but birth control is an option if the spell sticks and we choose not to have more." Regina smiled then and scooted towards her wife pressing their bodies together, "Does that mean yes? You want me to move forward with the spell?"

Emma nodded and pulled her wife further into her, "That means yes, let's do it. Let's make a baby!" Emma drew her into a kiss then, her tongue swiping at Regina's upper lip, then her lower lip. She flicked back at the top of Regina's top lip, requesting entrance into her mouth. Regina opened and let her in, moaning into the kiss.

Regina rolled them, moving to straddle her wife's hips. She slipped the mid-thigh, spaghetti strap, baby blue silk nighty up over her head and Emma groaned at the vision above her and her hands moved to Regina's hips. Her thumbs digging into the hollow of them and dragging a deep husky groan from her wife. She lowered herself then to meet Emma in an intense kiss, pulling away only long enough to yank Emma's tank top overhead and toss it over the side of the bed before claiming the blonde's mouth in a passionate kiss. What felt like minutes later Regina pulled away and nibbled her way to Emma's ear, "Now, I've been wet for you since we woke up, my love, I need you inside me, now."

The husked words in Emma's ear sent a shiver down her spine and ripped a groan from her lips. She was ever grateful that they'd placed a permanent silencing spell on the room, as long as the door was closed they could hear anything in the hallway, but no sounds could escape from within. She brought a hand down between them and let her fingers play through the hot, slick folds of her wife's cunt. "Fuck, you're so wet babe," Emma groaned feeling slick warmth and wetness already beginning to drip from the smooth and slick folds.

Regina buried her face into Emma's neck as her wife's talented fingers found her clit and teased around it, never placing direct pressure on the bundle, "It's what you do to me," she gasped out as long fingers teased at her entrance, "Gods Emma, fuck me, please…" A moan left her lips as Emma entered her then with two fingers. Filling her all the way as far her hand would allow, she immediately curved her fingers and lightly caressed that place inside that made Regina shudder. She did shudder then and ground her hips down as Emma began thrusting, out, then back in, out, then back in, her pace increasing to match Regina's tempo as she bore down faster and faster. A breathless, "Emma…" and the younger woman slipped a 3rd finger in on the next thrust, knowing how much her wife loved a good stretch. Her thumb came into play on the next thrust rubbing quick circles over Regina's clit on each thrust.

Regina was moving faster now, her movements almost becoming frantic, and her breath coming in pants as she sucked hungrily at Emma's collar bone. Emma started to crook her fingers then on every thrust, pressing against that place inside that almost never failed to make her come loudly. It didn't fail this time either, as Regina came spectacularly, gushing around her wife's fingers and she bit down on the spot she'd been sucking, while her hips churned desperately against Emma's hand, dragging out her last bit of pleasure. She slowed, shudders still wracking her body as she came down. Emma gradually pulled out and wrapped her arms around her wife as Regina groaned at the loss. A kiss to her temple, "I love so much, that you do that," she said, referencing Regina's squirting nature. It had been a sore spot for the brunette when they'd first moved their relationship into the sexual. Regina's former lovers all having not been thrilled at her body's reactions to pleasure. Thankfully, Emma was the opposite and often strove to increase the effect. Emma grinned then, as Regina slipped from straddling Emma's body to lying beside her still half on top of her but stretched out now with her head on Emma's shoulder/chest. "We're going to make a baby 'Gina," she whispered then into her wife's ear.

Regina smiled in the warm skin beneath her cheek, "We're going to try, Emma," she rubbed absently at her wife's firmly muscled upper chest.

Emma shook her head then, "No, we are going to make a baby Regina."

The absolute tone brought a larger smile to Regina's face, "How about we go practice in the shower?" The brunette whispered huskily. Emma was out of bed and stripping her boy shorts down her strong thighs before Regina had barely finished the sentence. Regina laughed and then squealed (not a common noise for the former Queen) when Emma scooped her up, out of the bed and carried her bridal style into the ensuite.

The shower started up behind her as Regina stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, she caressed the soft skin of her lower abdomen. 'Soon,' she thought, 'maybe soon I could be creating a life in there, with Emma, my wife, my love, my life,' Regina had long desired to carry a child. When she was just a little girl all she'd really wanted was love and a family, to raise children in a way that they knew they were loved and wanted, she'd dreamed of keeping a child safe and allowing it to grow and mature inside her body. 'But what if I can't? What if my body isn't able to do it? What if my past still isn't done with me? What if….' Arms came around her then, hands covering her own, thumbs lightly tracing the skin of her stomach, "We will put a baby in there my love, I can't wait to begin this new journey with you." Emma's simple statement was exactly what she needed to hear and the brunette turned in Emma's arms, steam was beginning to fill the bathroom from the running shower. Regina cupped her wife's face in her hands, Emma's arms were wrapped loosely around her waist, they spent a moment just staring into each other's eyes, the former Queen knew her eyes were misting with the emotion of the moment, "You always know just what to say to me, Emma, right when I need to hear it." She kissed her then, a slow kiss that started soft and started to move towards a simmering passion.

Emma tugged then, pulling Regina along as she backed towards the shower, their kiss still softly passionate as tongues met and her brunette wife sucked at her tongue softly, pulling a groan from deep within Emma. They reached the door to the expansive shower then and Emma reached behind herself to open the glass door, steam poured out from the shower and they pulled apart, their breath coming quickly and with a subtle urgency. Sometimes their lovemaking was hard and fast, other times it was slow and easy and still other times it was like now, intense and passionate, an urgency driving them and leaving both emotional afterwards. Regina swallowed and pushed Emma into the shower, through the hot spray and right down onto the recessed seat against the wall, stepping between her wife's legs, she bent to draw Emma into a deep kiss. Arms wrapped around her waist and tugged, trying to pull Regina onto her lap, the brunette pulled away then, "Nun uh, no it's my turn to make you feel good," with that she slid to her knees between Emma's parted thighs as the hot water beat against her back.

Regina pulled Emma's head down and kissed her once, twice and then moved down to placing kisses along her chest, letting her tongue swirl along the wet skin, her teeth nibbling along the warm flesh. Emma groaned when hot lips wrapped around a nipple and hands came up to massage both her thighs, she burrowed her hands into the long, dark, wet locks, Emma loved Regina's hair long, just brushing her shoulder blades, like she was currently keeping it. Her wife nibbled and tongued her way across to the other breast and after a teasing swirl where she avoided the nipple altogether she sucked it into her mouth and flicked it with her tongue.

The sounds she could pull from her lover always aroused Regina further, Emma was groaning and her head thumped back against the shower wall, closing her eyes to block out the shower spray that filled the stall. The brunette moved on then, from Emma's chest to kissing down the defined abdomen, running her tongue between the furrows of her wife's muscles, tracing the lines and sucking lightly at the skin below her belly button letting her tongue dip in and her tongue flick against the top. She moved on then, sucking a trail along one side of the distinct vee that led from Emma's lower abdomen and towards the trimmed curls at the junction of her thighs, a red line was left in the wake of her mouth and she wondered if the mark would last, wanting then, to make sure a mark did stay, she moved inward and sucked hard just above her wife's pubic line. Emma let a long, low groan fall from her lips and her hands moved to grasp the edge of the shower seat on either side of her strong thighs. With hands on her wife's calfs Regina pulled her forward to the edge of the seat and spread her wider, shifting her mouth to suckle languidly on a hip and then down along the crease of a thigh.

Emma moved her hands back to Regina's head then, her hips already starting to roll with wanting. Regina smiled at Emma's eagerness and with no patience of her own left this morning and a burning need to have her wife in her mouth, she took the protruding clit between her lips and sucked gently, not enough pressure to get her off just yet, but enough to make a languid moan leave Emma's lips and her hips to move upwards meeting the soft pressure and trying to get deeper into her wife's mouth. Strong and somehow also delicate hands reached up and spread Emma's cunt lips and Regina released the stiff bundle, moving to lap at the wet entrance, Emma's hips canted into the motion trying to get more, more anything, her eyes opened then and she moved her head to watch, there really was not anything much sexier then watching her wife give her head. The brunette moved her soft tonguing then, back to the glistening clit and flicked it repeatedly, moving to trace firm, then light circles around the tip, the pattern repeating until Emma's was crying out every time Regina grazed the tip. Stroking down, over her wife's entrance and back to her clit Regina let her hands moved back to firm thighs and she massaged them as she repeated the long lick from slit to clit several times. "Fuck...Gina...ple..ease…" the broken words left Emma's lips in the same breath as a long groan. Taking mercy on her, Regina took her clit back in and started a sucking motion, her head bobbing softly up, then down and up again, the suction gradually increasing and Emma started thrusting into her mouth in earnest, hands gripping the back of Regina's head and holding her just so. The older woman followed the movements of her wife, hands planted firmly now, on the tense thighs as she kept Emma's hips from bucking too harshly. With a cry of her wife's name Emma came loudly, her back arching as she held the kneeling woman to her cunt.

Emma had barely stopped shuddering when she was up and spinning her wife, pinning her against the wall opposite the shower head chest first and grinding against the firm, curvaceous ass she loved so much. "Oh God, Emma," Regina sobbed, grinding back to meet her movements, "Fuck, inside me! Your cock, darling, fuck me…" a groan, "just like this..." a loud moan left her lips. Emma stepped away for moment, taking a breath to center herself, eyes closed she focused her magic and a tingling occurred between her thighs, when she opened them there was her cock standing proud at 8 inches long and nearly 2 inches of thick girth. Settling her concentration to maintain the spell she moved forward again, pinning Regina with one hand behind her shoulder blades and using her other to pull her hips away from the wall, she kicked her wife's legs further apart and moved forward, sliding the tip of her cock through her wife's fuck ready and swollen cunt lips. "Oh God, yes, inside….please…"

A deep groan was ripped from her throat when Emma was suddenly, very much inside and stretching her, it was a delicious feeling, being so full of her lover, Emma waited a few moments, letting her wife stretch and adjust to the feeling. When a hand back to rest on her hip and Regina started moving against her Emma pulled out halfway and thrust back in, out, then back in, starting a medium rhythm and burying herself to the hilt every time. "Fuck, so good. So big," Regina met her thrust for thrust, the hand on her wife's hip gripping and surely leaving a bruise, as the breath left her suddenly, each thrust leaving her feeling almost breathless. Emma was moving quicker now, low groans leaving her lips each time as she moved faster and faster into her wife. "Oh God, my clit Emma, I need to come, touch me!" Regina was moving against her at an almost frantic pace now, as she demanded her pleasure from the woman she loved. Emma removed a hand from the curvaceous hips of her wife and slid it around to play against her wife's dripping pussy. She created a vee shape with her index and middle finger to feel herself sliding and thrusting into the dripping brunette, then she gave the woman what she wanted and two fingers massaged quick, firm circles around and over the swollen clit. Her hips moved faster now, driving into her wife, "Fuck, so close babe. I'm gonna come...gonna come inside you," Emma grit her teeth, intent on holding off until she felt her wife's cunt start to clench around her.

"God yes, come Emma! Fill me up, I want all of it! Fu...uck! Emma!" Emma loved hearing her wife during sex, loved her voice period, but during sex when such deliciously dirty things left her mouth...so hot, then with a grunt Emma couldn't hold it back anymore and she was coming, thrusting deep, her hips pressed tightly against her wife's ass. Regina cried out feeling the thick ropes of cum filling her and spurting inside her body, her own orgasm cresting then and she came long and loud, fluid leaving her body in a gush against the tight body behind her, her body shook with the effort to hold herself up and Emma was stepping back pulling her along, the cock having vanished soon after she came as it was hard to keep the concentration required for its existence when one's entire body was shuddering. Emma moved then to a seated position on the shower seat and cuddled a still shuddering Regina against her chest, tracing light circles along her back and hips and neck, they sat like that, the warm water showering them in its spray as their breathing mellowed. "Will it be big?" Emma broke silence after a few moments. At Regina's mumbled "Hmmm?" she clarified, "My cock, my penis?"

Regina laughed then, that deep throaty sound, that always sent shivers down Emma's spine, she placed a light kiss against her wife's lips when Emma piled at being laughed at, "As it's a blank template spell technically I can...make adjustments for that, I happen to like the size of your cock. Would you want me to keep the same size that you conjure? I can't guarantee how big it will be flaccid, but I can include specifications for its size erect, magic is wonderful that way." Emma breathed a sigh, maybe it was vain but she loved being able to stretch her wife wide open, especially since Regina was just a bit of a size queen, not that she'd ever openly admit it. Regina made to move off of her wife then and Emma helped her to stand, together they went through the motions of getting clean.

Henry was still on the couch, still playing his game, it was a basic shooter and he was playing duel mode, tournament style, he'd beaten all his friends so far and was currently working on the last one standing. He had the opponent cornered behind a random obstacle on the course and was sneaking along the edge, moving closer and closer to rounding the corner, he taunted his opponent through the mic on his headset. Suddenly a weapon fired behind him and his controller vibrated and DEAD flashed across his screen, "Damn fucking wolf!" he tossed his controller aside.

"Henry Daniel Mills!" The voice of his brunette mom startled him and he jumped, his headset was yanked of his head and Regina held one earpiece to her ear, "Ruby Lucas, what are you teaching my son?!" Regina spoke into the mic. A voice on the other side made a few noises before words came out, "What's that, Regina? Sorry, I hear Granny calling, I'm coming Granny!" And the connection was lost, REDWOLF OFFLINE flashed across the TV screen. Regina made a noise in the back of her throat, ever since Ruby had come on as a full-time deputy with Emma she only worked the diner on her weekends off, but she knew for a fact that she only worked in the evenings. "We've talked about this, you know how I feel about you cursing Henry."

He hung his head, "I know, I'm sorry mom," he left the couch and hugged his brunette mother.

Regina glared then at the cleared throat behind her, she turned to her blonde wife who was leaning in the doorway, having watched the whole interaction, her shoulders shaking slightly as she contained her laughter, "And you! Don't think I don't know where he gets it from," she released Henry then, smoothing his hair back from his forehead and moving through the doorway, lightly shoving at Emma's shoulder as she walked into the kitchen switching topics as her family followed her into the kitchen. "Farmers market and grocery store today?" She asked glancing at the clock it was just a few minutes past 11 and the market ran 12-4 every Saturday during the summer and early fall, she started going through the fridge and cabinets with a notepad and writing things she thought they needed. "Sounds good," and "Sure," reached her ears and she continued writing, she hummed in acknowledgement, then, "BLT's for lunch ok?" Hands came around her waist then and a kiss was placed behind her ear, "Sounds amazing, babe," ghosted across her ear.

Henry made a gagging noise behind them and both mothers rolled their eyes at his teenage antics. "On that note, can I go back to the game until we leave?" He asked already edging towards the living room. Regina frowned, "I suppose, but no more language young man!" She admonished, a loud, "Yes, Mom!" sounded from the living room where Henry was already settling back into the game opting for campaign this time. She leaned back into her wife's embrace then, "He's growing up so fast…they grow up so fast." Her wistful tone made Emma smile and she caressed the soft skin of Regina's abdomen through her shirt, "When do we tell him? Do we tell him? Or just wait until I'm…" her voice faltered, "Until I'm pregnant?"

Emma turned her around and pulled her into a tight hug, "We should wait, I don't want to get him all excited, we don't know how long it could take and honestly I'd rather he didn't know that one of his mother's was walking around with the occasional dick,"

Regina chuckled, "I can understand that, it might get a little confusing for him anyway, mature as he is, he is still a teenager." She pulled away then and moved towards the calender on the wall, "I've been thinking about it and I think if I can find the only ingredient I'm missing at Belle's, I should be able to complete the spell in two weeks time," Belle had started stocking magical ingredients for the practitioners in town and she had turned Gold's pawnshop into more of a magical emporium after his demise 2 years prior.

Emma swallowed deeply then, "That soon huh?" Her wife turned to her then with an eyebrow raised, "Second thoughts, dear?" She asked nervously. "No!" Emma rushed to assure the brunette, "None! I want this, it's just a big step and I'm worried, worried that I won't be good enough. Babies and I haven't exactly been on the best of terms, what if I screw it up?" Emma plopped onto a stool at the island then, her face in a dejected frown. Regina moved to her, slipping between her thighs and taking Emma's face in her hands, she looked into her eyes, "You, are an amazing mother, Emma, you will be an amazing mother. You were wonderful when Neal was born," Regina reassured, she entwined her fingers with the hands of her wife them, "Together we can do this, there will be moments when we will both feel overwhelmed, babies are a handful, but I can't think of anybody else I want to raise a baby with and I am so excited to start this journey with you."

Emma smiled and wrapped her arms around the older woman, "With you I can do anything."

Regina smiled back and kissed her, "I love you, Emma," she whispered breaking the kiss.

"Now and always," Emma answered back.
