Part 2:

"How are you feeling this morning?" Swan asked Regina as she came into the kitchen while Regina was sitting at the counter. Emma had given her strict instructions not to over exert herself today, so she sat and sipped some orange juice while she watched Emma burning the breakfast she was attempting to making.

"Oh, I am feeling much better. But Emma wants me to take it easy, so I am on the sidelines for the day." Regina said while Swan scooted in the seat next to her. Emma and Swan were in matching outfits of a black tank with a blue leather jacket and jeans. Clearly, she had used her magic to give herself a change of clothes in this different world.

Suddenly smoke started to rise from the stove top. "Shit!" Emma said as she ran over and began scrapping burnt eggs into the sink. At that moment Mills walked in and shook her head as she took the frying pan out of Emma's hand.

"Here, Dear. Let me fix breakfast" Mills said as she walked into the kitchen. "I could smell this all the way from the office." She was wearing the same outfit Regina was, a red corset shirt with a black blazer and long dress pants.

Emma handed her the smoldering pan and went to sit on the other side of her wife. "I swear I know how to make breakfast!"

"Of course you do, Dear." Mills said condescendingly.

Emma turned to Regina and rolled her eyes. "Tell her please."

Regina smiled. "It's true, she does make a hell of a pancake."

Emma smiled back at Regina while Swan looked at them sadly.

"What's up Swan?" Emma asked.

"Nothing…just a little tired. Regina…I mean, Mills made me sleep on the floor last night." Swan said.

Mills turned around and raised an eyebrow at her. "Well I wasn't about to let you hog the whole bed. I do remember Neverland where we shared a sleeping area. As I recall, you used up the majority of the bedding while I was smashed up against a tree."

"Hey, how could I know what I was doing in my sleep?" Swan said.

"We can switch tonight." Mills offered.

Swan gave her a giant smile. "Thanks!"

"The trick is you have to hold on to her really tight until she falls asleep. Then she won't move the rest of the night." Regina said as she opened the morning paper and began to read.

"Really? That's the reason why you hug me at night?" Emma asked annoyed.

"Yes. Otherwise you sleep like a starfish." Regina deadpanned.

Mills suddenly laughed very loudly, surprising everyone. "What? It was funny because it's true. It's just like a starfish." She said when she realized everyone was looking at her.

Emma looked over at Regina and leaned in close. "After breakfast we should go check on…my parents…" She said trying to sound casual. "We told them we were coming last night, but we never did."

"Oh…yes!" Regina said, putting down her paper. When she had gotten sick the night before they had forgotten to check on the kids. She could only imagine how chaotic things were at the Charming residence with the two magical toddlers poofing around and using their magic in other ways.

"Why do you need to check on your parents?" Mills asked as she began to put the freshly made eggs onto a plate.

"We told them yesterday that we would stop by and give them an update on all of you." Emma said quickly.

Regina nodded in agreement to the lie.

"Do you want us to tag along and meet them?" Mills asked.

"No, you two should head to my vault too get the rest of the magic books to do research. Look into what could help fix your worlds." Regina said firmly.

"…Alright." Mills said suspiciously.

After breakfast, Mills and Swan offered to clean up the kitchen while Regina and Emma made their way to the Charming's house.

"I don't like them in our house alone." Regina said as she looked out the window.

"They are only going to be there for a few minutes while they clean up. Besides we will be back soon, we are just popping in to check on the kids." Emma said as she turned onto her parent's street. They had moved into her old house years ago after she moved in with Regina.

"Then why didn't we just poof here?" Regina asked.

"Because we are going to limit our reliance on magic until we figure out what is causing you to get so suddenly sick." Emma explained as she pulled into the driveway and parked.

When they got inside all was quiet. No one was home. Emma and Regina looked at each other panicked.

"Where the hell are they?" Regina asked.

"Let's call them." Emma said as she pulled out her phone.

"Hello?" Snow said as she answered her cellphone.

"Mom? Where are you guys? Regina and I are at your house."

"We took the kids to the park. They needed to get out of the house."

"Okay we will be there in a few minutes!" Emma said as she hung up.

"Where are they?" Regina asked.

"Park."

"What? I told your mother to keep them inside! What if one of the doubles see's them?" Regina asked.

"Let's just get over there quickly."

Regina and Emma's house:

"They are keeping something from us. I can feel it. Regina is being shifty." Mills said as she handed Swan a plate to dry. Mills then grabbed another dirty plate and began to scrub it clean.

"I doubt they are. What could they be hiding?" Swan asked as she put the now dry plate away in the cabinet with the other dishes.

"I don't know, but I think we should do more than just search the books while we are in her vault." Mills suggested.

"Fine. Was that the last of the dishes?" Swan asked as she angrily grabbed the dish Regina was washing out of her hands.

"What's wrong with you?" Mills asked.

"I like them. I don't think we should go and mess with her stuff." Swan said. "We need their help, and if we lose their trust we will be on our own."

Mills stepped forward and grabbed Swan's shoulders, so she could look the blond in the eye. "You and I are the only team here. Don't be fooled. No one cares about our world and our people more than you and I. I know how Regina thinks. Trust me when I say that she will protect what is hers, even if it means throwing us under the bus."

Swan nodded. "If you say so."

Storybrooke Park:

"Hey, Mom!" Emma shouted as she and Regina walked down the hill toward Snow. She was sitting on a bench watching Madison go down the slide. She turned and waved to them.

"Hey! So how are things going?" Snow asked.

"As well as can be expected." Emma said.

"What does that mean?" Snow asked.

"It means that our doubles are trying to figure out how to destroy our family." Regina said angerly.

"What?" Snow asked surprised. That was not at all what she was expecting.

"We don't know that for sure!" Emma said trying to calm Regina down. "They are just trying to fix their own worlds. It just might also cause us to lose our children and our relationship."

"Yes. Just little details like that." Regina said sarcastically.

"Well your father and I will do whatever we can to help!" Snow said.

"Do you mind watching the kids for a bit longer?" Emma asked.

Snow took a deep breath before answering. "Of course, it's for their safety."

"Thanks, Mom." Emma said gratefully. She knew how hard it was on her parents to watch their two magical grandchildren.

Madison ran over to her mothers when she saw them talking to her grandmother.

"Mommy! Momma!" The little girl screeched as she ran. Her long pigtails blowing behind her as she moved at full speed.

Emma knelt to her knees and scooped her daughter up as she hugged her tight. "Hello little lady! I missed you so much!" She said as she kissed Madison on the cheek.

"I missed you too Momma!" Madison said as she hugged her tight around the neck.

"My turn!" Regina said as she held out her hands. Madison quickly scurried out of Emma's grasp as she lunged for her other mother. Regina held on to Madison tightly, and kissed her forehead.

"Mommy I missed you so much!" Madison said. "Are we going home?"

"I'm sorry my little princess, but you and Christian need to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for a little longer." Regina explained kindly. She set her daughter down and watched as she ran back to the playground.

"Watch me slide Momma!" Madison yelled to Emma.

"Okay!" Emma shouted back.

"Well at least she took the news well." Snow said relieved her granddaughter didn't throw a magical tantrum.

"Well she is the easier one. Plus, she loves spending time with you and Dad. It's Christian who will be the problem." Emma said.

"He is stubborn, just like his mothers." Snow said jokingly. Emma and Regina rolled their eyes.

"Speaking of which, where is Christian?" Regina asked as she scanned the playground and saw no sign of him or David.

"He and David are playing hide-and-seek." Snow explained.

Regina and Emma looked at each other.

"What?" Snow asked when she saw their looks of fear.

"Christian always cheats at that game." Emma explained.

"So what? He's three, he is supposed to cheat at games."

"No, he cheats as in he poofs away. Usually to a far-off location. I once played it with him at home and he went all the way to Granny's diner! She found him in the cupboard where she keeps her baking supplies and was eating a bag of sugar!" Emma continued to explain.

At that moment David came running into view from behind the wooden structure of the playground.

"Thank god you're here! I can't find Christian anywhere! He was hiding but I have looked everywhere!" David said out of breath as he reached them.

Regina's stomach dropped, and she bent over and threw up. Emma quickly leaned over and held her hair back for her while she continued to be sick. David and Snow looked at Regina, concerned something was seriously wrong.

"Does she have the flu?" Snow asked as she rubbed Regina's back.

David pulled out his handkerchief and dabbed at the corner of Regina's mouth once she stood back up.

Regina smiled at them both but held her hands up to signal that she was alright. "I'm fine, I think I just have a little stomach bug, that's all." Regina said.

Emma quickly looked away as guilt ran through her. David was the only one who noticed.

"We need to find Christian!" Emma said, changing the topic.

"I am sure he is somewhere around here!" Snow said calmly.

"Not that I could see." David said.

"Let's split up then." Emma suggested. "Dad, go to your house, maybe he went back. Mom go to Granny's, check all the places she keeps sweets. Regina and I will run back home. His other usual spot is in the nursery." Emma said as she helped Regina walk back to the police cruiser.

"What if he does go to the house?" Regina asked.

"Well, let's just hope that Swan and Mills have left by now." Emma said as she started to drive a little faster.

Regina and Emma's house:

"I'm just gonna grab my boots!" Emma called from the office.

Mills stood waiting for her in the foyer, tapping her foot impatiently. "Hurry, Dear! I want to make sure we have time to look around without Regina lurking over our shoulders."

Just then a loud noise came from upstairs. It sounded like something landing on floor. Regina looked up the stairs, wondering if it was Regina or Emma who had poofed back home suddenly.

"Hello?" She called up the stairs, but no one answered. Slowly she creeped upstairs, trying not to make a sound. When she reached the top landing she heard the noise again. This time she could tell it was coming from behind the door she knew to be the spare room. When she went to turn the door knob she found it locked by magic. She shook her head. 'What were they keeping in here they don't want us to see?' She thought to herself before she waved her hand over the door and unlocked it. Slowly she pushed open the door revealing a brightly colored room with little animals painted all around. The room was filled with toys, and sitting in the middle was a small, dark haired little boy who was playing with blocks that were stacked into a castle. He turned his head to her and smiled.

"Mommy!"

"EMMA!" Mills called, her eyes wide in shock. The little boy stood and ran over to her and hugged her leg.

Swan quickly bounded up the stairs. "What's up? OH. My. God!" She said as she took in the scene. "Who is that?" Swan asked pointing at the little boy.

"I don't know!" Mills said with her arms raised. She looked as if she was afraid the child was poisonous.

"Momma!" The little boy said when he saw Swan. He ran over and hugged her legs too. He then turned around and reached up for Mills to pick him up.

Mills hesitated for a moment before she bent down and gently lifted the little boy. "What's your name?" Mills asked in her sweetest voice she could muster in her confusion.

The little boy giggled. "Silly Mommy! I'm Christian!"

Mills nodded and noticed his bright green eyes. So much like Emma's. "Well Hello there, Christian. It is nice to meet you." Christian stared at her and put one of his chubby hands on her cheek. Suddenly he scrunched up his face and began to cry.

"What did you do?" Swan asked.

"Nothing! He just started crying!" Mills said as she quickly set him back down on the ground.

"Well make him stop!" Swan said, the crying getting louder as Christian's face started to turn red.

"How can I make him stop when I don't know what's wrong?" Mills asked.

Suddenly from behind them in a cloud of white smoke Emma and Regina appeared. They looked around and saw their son crying hysterically while Swan and Mills stood over him. He immediately lifted his arms to them. Regina swooped down and picked him up, and the second he was in her arms he began to calm down.

"What did you two do to him?" Regina asked with venom in each word.

"Nothing! He just started to cry!" Swan said defensively.

"Wait. Don't try to deflect from the fact that you kept this a secret! What the hell is this?" Mills asked pointing to Christian who was now resting his head on Regina's shoulder and sniffling.

"This is our son, Christian." Regina said.

"Did you adopt him?" Swan asked.

"No. They didn't. Look, he has your eyes!" Mills said to Swan.

Swan leaned in closer and looked at him. "Oh my god he does have my eyes!"

"How did you have him?" Swan asked Emma.

"Well this isn't the 1800's, there are ways now for two women to have a child together." Emma said sharply. Purposely not mentioning that they had created their child with magic and not modern science.

"But why would you keep him a secret?" Mills asked suspiciously.

"Because he is our son and we don't need another reason." Regina said as she put her hand oh Christian's head.

Mills watched her curiously. Her eyes widened. "You had him. Didn't you? But how?" She asked angerly.

Emma watched as Regina looked up at her guiltily. She almost seemed to cower at the other woman's glare. Why was her wife acting as is she was a child about to be scolded by a parent?

"It's…hard to explain…" Regina said quietly.

Mills brushed past them all and stormed down the stairs and into the kitchen. Her heels clicking fast on the marble floor.

"Regina?" Swan called after Mills. "What's wrong with her? Why was she so upset that you had a child?" Swan asked.

"I…I don't know." Regina said quickly. "Emma, call your parents and let them know we found him. I will go and talk to her." She said to Emma as she handed Christian over to her.

While Regina went down stairs, Emma scooted closer to Swan as she saw the other woman looked confused. She could tell Swan was burning to ask her another question.

"So, if Regina had your son, that must mean you got her pregnant?" Swan asked Emma excitedly.

Emma nodded her head as she texted her mother and father that Christian was with them.

Swan grinned at Emma and held out her hand to Emma. "Niccccccce." Swan said as they high-fived.

Emma leaned in closer to her double and smirked. "We actually have two children together. A little girl who is a year older than Christian. Her name is Madison."

Swan's eyes practically bulged out of her head at the news. "What? Twice? You knocked her up twice. Oh you are a legend!"

Emma nodded her head and smiled. "Yeah. Twice!" Emma said pretending to be enthused as well, when actually she was scared out of her mind. She knew that twice was no longer true, and that Regina was once again pregnant because of her. Her mind began to spin as she remembered how sick Regina had gotten during the last pregnancy, feeling like the exact opposite of a legend. She quickly shook the thoughts from her head and ran down the stairs with Swan close behind her. The other blonde was still in awe over the fact that herself in another world was able to get Regina pregnant.

Down Stairs:

Regina quickly ran down the stairs after Mills. She knew what was wrong. It had been part of the reason she didn't want to tell any of their alternates that they had children. She could easily put herself in Mills' shoes.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you about this sooner." Regina said sympathetically. "I never told Emma, but part of the reason I wanted to keep it a secret was because I didn't want to upset you."

"And why would I be upset that you had a child?" Mills asked as she crossed her arms and looked out the windows above the sink.

"Because, I'm guessing that you are unable to have children. If your world is similar to mine, then you must have cursed yourself with a potion years ago as I did." Regina explained.

"I did. It was my choice; no one forced me to do it." Mills said firmly. "I am fine with my choices. It lead me to adopting Henry, and I wouldn't change that for the world!"

"I know. No one forced me either, but still…it haunted me every day after I drank it. For so long I wanted a child, it was my one wish in life." Regina said sadly. "Henry was a blessing I will always be grateful for. He was the light at the end of the tunnel. But he also represented all that I have ever wanted. Children. A house full of laughter and love. Something I never had growing up."

Mills scrunched up her face, as she tried to hold back her tears. "How? How were you able to beat the curse?" She asked as tears started to stream down her face.

"Emma." Regina said simply.

Mills shook her head. "How did that idiot fix you? She can barely do magic!" Mills yelled. It was clear she was becoming very upset.

"It was her love. We are True Love, and as we both know True Love is the most powerful magic there is." Regina said. Suddenly she felt a stir in her lower abdomen. It felt like a magical pull on her organs. Regina quickly bent over and cringed.

"What are you doing?" Mills asked, annoyed.

"Something is wrong. I thought it was just something I ate, but I don't feel sick now, it just feels like movement inside."

Mills breathed out hard through her nose in anger. "What, are you pregnant for your second child or something?" She asked sarcastically.

"If I was it would be my third child. But, I never felt this with either Christina or Madison before! This is different!" Regina said as the feeling got worse and she fell to her knees.

Mills pretended not to notice Regina fall as she spun around in anger. "TWO? You were able to have two children?" Mills screamed.

"Something is really wrong! EMMA!" Regina yelled.

The two Emma's quickly entered the kitchen looking alarmed.

"What the hell happened?" Emma asked as she set Christian down and knelt next to her wife. "What did you do to her?" Emma asked to Mills.

"NOTHING!" Mills shouted defensively. "She just started acting like that!"

Emma and Swan tried to help Regina up when suddenly Emma held up her hand, which had been resting on Regina's inner thigh. It had a thick coating of blood on it. It was hard to tell on Regina's black pants, but they were soaked in blood. "OH MY GOD! Regina, you're bleeding! We need to get you to Dr. Whale!"

Swan walked backward in shock and crashed into Mill's when she saw the blood.

"Watch where you are going Miss Swan!" Mills said angrily.

"Wow, can't you see Regina is hurt? Something is wrong!" Swan said to Mills.

"I can see perfectly fine. What I can't understand is why you think I would care?" Mills said bitterly.

Swan looked at Mills as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"I'm going to have to poof us to the hospital!" Emma said as Regina put her arms around her neck and stood with her in her arms. "Christian, hold onto my leg. I will drop you off with Grandma and Grandpa." Emma said and together the three disappeared in a swirl of Emma's white magic.

"God, I hope Regina is okay! Why are you so upset that they have kids?" Swan asked.

"Because I can't have any children! She found the loophole in the rules! She gets everything!" Mills said angrily.

"But we have Henry." Swan said quietly.

"Yes, I know we have Henry, but, she does too. She gets everything. Sorry, I guess I am feeling a little jealous." Mills explained.

"Wait…would you want to have a kid with…me?" Swan asked, careful not to seem hopeful.

"You think I want to have a child with you? HA! Please, I have just recently gotten over the fact that I have to share Henry with you." Mills said harshly.

Swan's face immediately fell. Mills noticed.

"I don't know what the Regina of this world was thinking, but I would sooner be caught having a love affair with one of the dwarves!" Mills said as she put her hands on her hips. "Why, would you want to have a child with me?" Mills asked.

Swan wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Mills seemed a little hopeful in her question.

"I don't know. I think we raised Henry pretty well. We did that together." Swan said. "Why couldn't we do it again?"

"Well for one WE are not a couple." Mills said bluntly. "That will never happen."

"We're friends though." Emma said.

"Barely."

"Why? Why after all these years are we not better friends?" Swan asked.

"I can't trust you, and I don't think you trust me." Mills said bluntly.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Swan said sadly. "I wonder what happened to them that was different. I wonder what it was that set them on a path to fall in love."

"Why? Do you want to fall in love with me?" Mills asked with a laugh.

"No! But it's just odd. Don't you wonder too?" Swan asked.

"Not really. I just assumed in this world they were gay." Mills said.

"Well I am not straight. I've been with women." Swan said casually.

Mills eyes widened. "You have? You never told me that!"

"You never asked." Swan said as she walked to the counter and jumped up on it so she could sit.

"So I'm just supposed to ask you questions about yourself all the time?" Mills asked sarcastically.

"Yeah Regina, that's how you make friends. I try to ask you questions all the time."

"Yes you do, and it annoys me."

"Well that's how friendships start. Both people get to know each other and if they like the things they learn about the other person then they hang out with them more." Swan explained.

"Yes, I know how to make friends." Mills said annoyed.

"Really? Because I don't see you with many." Swan said blatantly.

"Well surprisingly no one I cursed wanted the position." Mills snapped back.

"I did, once...What happened? Weren't we doing better? Weren't we becoming friends?" Swan asked.

"Maybe. But things changed."

"Like what? What happened? All I remember is suddenly you started to withdraw a lot more than usual."

"I don't remember. I just think I realized that I would never truly be a part of this town."

"You stopped coming to family dinners."

"I'm not a part of your family."

"You were." Swan said sadly.

David and Snow's house:

"MOM! DAD! HELP!" Emma yelled as she held Regina in her arms. She could feel the warmth of the blood seeping onto her arm that was tucked under her bottom. Regina held on tight around her neck. Christian was still holding onto her pant leg as she stood in her parent's living room. The house that she once shared with Hook. She still hated coming here, as it brought up a mixture of feelings for her. Mostly feelings that involve guilt. She had broken up with him badly over the phone, and then poofed him into the bay when he crashed her date with Regina. She had not heard from him in five years and was glad for it. He had been very angry with her for how she broke up with his so suddenly. She couldn't even blame him, as it was over the phone and then that very night she was out on a date with Regina. As far as Emma was concerned, he had every right to hate her guts. However, that was nothing now. Her wife was in danger and needed a doctor as soon as possible. She looked down at Christian who looked a little nervous.

"It's alright buddy. Mommy is gonna be just fine." Emma said in a soothing voice, but Christian just backed away and looked at Regina nervously.

A moment later David and Snow ran into the room from the kitchen. Snow was holding Madison.

"What's wrong?" Snow asked looking startled to see Regina in Emma's arms.

"She's bleeding! I don't know what to do!" Emma said as she held on to Regina tighter. While she had poofed them Regina seemed to pass out from the pain.

"Did one of the other Regina or Emma's hurt her?" David asked as he picked up Christian.

"No…" Emma said as she looked down ashamed.

"Emma what is it?" Snow asked.

Emma checked again to see that Regina was not awake before she spoke. "She's pregnant again and it's all my fault! I didn't take my bloodroot and I didn't tell her about it. Last time she almost died, and now it is happening sooner! She doesn't even know if she is pregnant." Emma said hysterically.

Snow and David's faces turned from shocked to sad, and then to confused.

"How do you know she is pregnant if she doesn't?" Snow asked.

"I saw it. Magically. Yesterday, my hand was on her stomach and I could see inside her and I saw it's little heartbeat. I haven't told her yet. She thinks there's still a chance it's not a pregnancy."

"Oh Emma, you should have told her." Snow said. "She should have went to see Dr. Whale or Rumple right away!"

"Don't you think I know that? I am freaking out enough right now; I don't need a guilt trip on top of it! Just watch the kids." Emma said angrily. "Please." She added.

"I didn't mean to guilt trip you…" Snow began.

"Yes, you did. You both love to do it. You love to tell everyone how they are doing things wrong. If it's not how Prince Charming and Snow freaking White do it then it's evil!" Emma said as her temper rose. She then turned on the spot and disappeared in a cloud of grey smoke.

"Is her magic usually that grey?" David asked.

"It seemed fine to me." Snow said dismissively.

Storybrooke Hospital:

Emma's magic swirled around her and Regina as the hospital waiting room came into view. Before her magic had even fully dissipated Emma was screaming for help. Several nurses and doctors ran over to them with a gurney. The hospital rarely saw many emergencies in the small town, so any time one did come in it usually got the full attention of all the staff.

"HELP HER!" Emma yelled as she set Regina gently down on the gurney.

Dr. Whale ran up to the group and put his stethoscope in his ears as he held the round part to Regina's chest. Her eyes were still closed and Emma watched him anxiously. "How long has she been unconscious?" Whale asked Emma.

"I'm not sure. A few minutes maybe." Emma said nervously. "Is she breathing?"

"She is, but It's weak" Whale said as he and three nurses began to wheel Regina's gurney down the long hallway. "What exactly happened?"

"I'm not sure. She was fine one minute and then she was screaming for me. I picked her up and she was bleeding!" Emma said as she showed the doctor her arm that was covered in Regina's blood.

"Anything else I should know?" Dr. Whale asked. He seemed suspicious of Emma's answer.

"She's pregnant." Emma said as they neared the doors that no one but doctors and nurses were allowed to pass.

Dr. Whale nodded his head. "You're sure of it?"

"I saw the heart beat with magic. I'm sure." Emma said as she hung her head in shame.

Whale wrinkled his face and put a hand on Emma's shoulder. "Call Rumple. We're going to need him like we did last time."

"Fine…but Doc..." Emma said.

"Yes, Emma?"

"She doesn't know for sure yet. Let me be there when you tell her when she wakes up." Emma said.

"Of course." Whale said as they he and the nurses wheeled Regina behind the doors.

Emma watched through the small windows in the doors until Regina's gurney turned the corner and she could no longer see her wife. She took a deep, but shaky breath and pulled out her cell phone. She had Gold's number saved in her phone under the name 'Creepy McCreepster'. His phone rang exactly seven times before he answered.

"Gold's pawn shop, how can I help you?" Rumple said in his slimy voice.

Emma rolled her eyes. "Rumple, Regina is pregnant again. It's bad. We need your help. She is already experiencing the pains and is bleeding bad. We're at the hospital now."

"Well, that is quite the predicament." Gold said in an amused tone.

"Can you get here or not?" Emma asked as her temper reached its peak.

"Yes, I just need to gather a few items and close up the shop. Shouldn't be more than a half hour." Gold said calmly, almost bored.

"HALF AN HOUR? WE NEED YOU HERE NOW!" Emma yelled into her phone. The nurse who was seated at the entrance to sign people in looked up at her annoyed.

"Or perhaps I shouldn't come at all if that's how I will be greeted. Let me remind you that any help I give to you and your wife is a favor due to your friendship with my wife. However, if you cross me I will revoke my offer, and we can make a deal instead." Gold said.

Emma's hand started to shake with rage when suddenly the trashcan that sat in the corner of the waiting room burst into flames. The nurse behind the desk ran out with a fire extinguisher and quickly put the fire out before it set off any alarms. She then turned her head to Emma and glared at her. Emma however was too angry to care and simply turned away from her and focused her attention back on her conversation with Rumple. "Rumple, please." She sighed into the phone.

There was a long pause.

"Half an hour." Rumple said right before he ended the call.

Emma paced back and forth in the waiting room for a few minutes before Dr. Whale came in to give her an update.

"She is stable now and awake. We managed to stop the bleeding, for now. Is Gold on the way?" Whale asked.

"He should be here soon." Emma said. "Please take me to her."

Whale nodded and led the way to Regina's room. When Emma entered she saw Regina was sitting up in her bed and looking annoyed at all the cords and tubes that were attached to her. She breathed a sigh of relief. If Regina was well enough to be annoyed, she was going to be alright.

"Is all of this really necessary?" Regina asked the doctor.

"YES!" Emma said before Whale could respond. "Don't you dare take any of those off until you get a clean bill of health from every doctor in this building!" Emma said as she walked over to Regina and pulled the chair near her bed over more so she could hold her hand.

Regina rolled her eyes but smiled at Emma. "So…I'm assuming I am in fact pregnant."

Emma looked at her guiltily. "I saw it when we were in the shower. I magically saw its heart beat. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you right away!" Emma said as she brought Regina's hand to her lips and kissed it.

"Emma, It's fine! Part of me knew the whole time." Regina said as she patted her free hand on top of Emma's.

"I'm so sorry I did this to you!" Emma said as she stood and kissed Regina.

Regina pulled back and smiled. "Not this again. I thought we agreed, we both messed up!"

Emma nodded as she whipped a tear that had fallen down her cheek.

"Please don't cry, Dear. I'm sure it's all going to work out perfectly!" Regina said reassuringly.

"Why would you say that? You said it yourself, it's a jinx!" Emma said as she backed away from Regina and looked more worried than ever.

Regina looked at her sadly. "Emma…"

"Ladies, how about we take a look at the baby? Maybe it will help settle some nerves?" Whale offered, trying to change the topic.

"Yes, please." Regina said as Emma nodded and sat back down next to Regina while Whale readied the prob. Regina and Emma were used to this with the last two of Regina's pregnancies. Early on an internal prob is needed to get an accurate read.

Emma held Regina's hand as Whale inserted the prob into Regina. She gasped and tried to relax. After a few moments Whale spoke.

"There's the little guy or gal. See that little heart beat? And here is the spine." The doctor said as he pointed to the monitor.

Regina gasped. "Oh looked!" She said excitedly as she squeezed Emma's hand. "He or she looks strong!"

Emma just stared at the screen. Unable to speak. Rage building in her as she looked at the tiny creature that was killing her wife. But mostly the rage was for herself, as she knew it was not the fetus's fault. It was her own. Regina would not be in this situation if she had just eaten that damn red slime.

This had once been two very special moments when they first saw Christian and Madison, but this was different. This was not a happy moment. Not for Emma.

"Do you know when you may have conceived?" Whale asked. "That way we can see if the fetus's growth is on track.

"It must have been some time last month, so it couldn't be more than six weeks. That's when we both didn't take our preventative drink." Regina said.

Dr. Whale frowned as he looked at the monitor. "Well it looks like this little one is at least nine weeks."

"Nine?" Regina asked alarmed.

"What's the big deal? It's only a few weeks off?" Emma asked.

"I said at least. Because it really looks like it could be around ten or eleven weeks." Whale said as he adjusted the prob again. "It's a very big deal at this stage of the pregnancy. Every week brings very big development."

"Well it could only have happened last month. And we are only in the second week of this month. We both took the bloodroot that Rumple gives us each month and last month was the only time we didn't take it!" Regina said as Whale removed the prob.

"Well if that's true, then I suspect that the problem may be that this child is growing faster than normal. Most likely due to magic." Whale suggested. "Instead of seeing you once a month I would like to check the baby's growth every two weeks." Whale said as he removed his gloves and washed his hands in the sink.

"That's it?" Emma asked annoyed.

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the baby, other than the fact that it is a bit further along than expected. In my opinion that is usually not a bad sign."

"But in our case it very well could be a bad sign. It could mean this child is extremely powerful and will kill Regina!" Emma said as she stood and got into Whale's face.

"Emma!" Regina warned but Emma ignored her and stepped closer to Whale, threateningly.

"Sherriff Swan-Mills, might I remind you that I am head doctor here in our little town. The only leading medical professional who knows about magic in this entire world. If you want the best care for your wife and unborn child I suggest you lower your tone and step back." Whale said calmly, though Emma heard his voice shaking slightly as he leaned as far back from her as he could.

Emma's rage soared as she looked into the doctor's beady little eyes. Before she even realized what she was doing, Emma had Dr. Whale's white lab coat bunched in each of her hands. With ease she picked him up so his feet left the floor and threw him into the wall on the other side of the room. She watched as the small man fell to the floor, unconscious.

"EMMA!" Regina yelled. "What was that for?"

Emma shook her head. "I…I don't know."

"I hate him too, but he is right. He is the only doctor who can help us! We can't go making him mad!" Regina said as she adjusted herself in the bed so she could sit up better.

At that moment Rumple poked his head through the door. He looked around the room and saw Whale unconscious on the floor. "Seems like I missed the party." He said sarcastically.

"Come in, Rumple. Emma just had a little outburst at some difficult news." Regina said calmly.

"Yeah, apparently this kid I accidently put in her is growing super fast!" Emma said, throwing her hands out in exasperation.

"Well that could mean one of two things. Either it's bad news and it's so powerful it will kill Regina, or it's good news and it means the little tike will be out of Regina faster. Meaning less wear and tear on Regina's body." Rumple said brightly.

Emma's eyes lit up. "I didn't think of it like that!"

"Of course you didn't, Mrs. Swan-Mills. That is why you asked me to come here." Rumple said as he made his way over to Regina's bed. "Now tell me exactly what happened."

"Well, last month both Emma and I forgot to take our bloodroot. We both assumed the other had, and didn't communicate the fact." Regina stated in her mayor tone.

"You BOTH didn't take it for an entire month?" Rumple said surprised.

"Yes, how else would I have gotten pregnant?" Regina asked.

"Yeah, why do you seem surprised? Isn't that the only way for us to get pregnant?" Emma asked suspiciously.

"I had actually assumed that maybe your powers were stronger than I thought, and you bypassed the magical bloodroot." Rumple said simply. "I am surprised that you two were dumb enough to not take it for an entire month."

"So your saying when you started us on Bloodroot that you weren't even sure if it would work?" Emma asked annoyed.

"It was your only option. But at least you know it works. You got pregnant because you didn't take it." Rumple said as he placed a hand on Regina's stomach. "Should Regina survive this pregnancy I would suggest you not mess up again."

Emma strode over to Rumple and grabbed the arm that was reaching out over Regina's stomach and yanked it backwards. "Regina WILL live!" She growled in his ear as he bent backward in order to lessen the pain she was causing him.

"Let. Me. Go." Rumple warned.

Emma huffed and released him.

"Emma, calm down!" Regina said.

"I can't calm down knowing this thing could kill you!" Emma shouted as she began to pace the room.

"This thing?" Regina asked as she held her stomach. "This thing is our child!"

Emma ignored her and walked back to Rumple. "Can you fix this?" She asked desperately.

"What do you mean by fix?" Rumple asked.

"Can you…stop the pregnancy?" She asked carefully.

"EMMA!" Regina shouted, scandalized. She never thought she would hear her wife suggest such a thing.

"I doubt I would be able to." Rumple said as he held his hand over Regina's stomach again. "I can feel this child's power already. It's radiating through. It is very powerful." Rumple said. He sounded impressed.

"That wouldn't be an option anyway. I will not allow for anyone to attempt to take this child's life. I fully support a woman's right to choose. But I am choosing to have this child!" Regina said as she pushed Rumple's hand away and held her stomach protectively.

"Regina, think rationally. If this child kills you, then you will be leaving your whole family behind. Our two living children need you! I need you! You can't leave me!" Emma begged as she fell to her knees on the floor.

Regina looked at her sadly. "Then lets not let me die."

Emma looked up and wiped the tears from her eyes as she nodded. "Okay." She said as she stood back up. "Gold, can you put that spell on her again so the baby can't mess up her internal organs? Like you did when she was pregnant with Christian?" Emma asked.

Gold nodded his head and raised his hand again to Regina. He looked at her until she nodded and moved her own hands off her stomach so he could place his hand over it. Suddenly, Regina's stomach glowed a bright yellow and then suddenly vanished.

"There, all done. Now the little tike can't turn your insides into mush…at least for a while. As he or she grows, so does its powers."

"Thank you." Regina said.

"Yeah, thanks Rumple." Emma said as she shook Rumple's hand.

"I'll just erase your little tantrum from Whales memory as well. You will need him to watch that baby for you as it grows." Rumple said as he pressed two fingers to Whales forehead and blasted another beam of magic this time into Whale's head.

Emma nodded. "Thanks." She said sheepishly.

"Yes, Gold. Thank you very much." Regina said as she adjusted herself on the bed.

"Anytime. Remember, try not to use any magic. It will only drain you faster." Rumple said just before he left.

A few minutes after Rumple left, Whale began to stir. Emma helped him up and told him he had bumped his head on the door and fell. Slightly confused, he cleared Regina to go home and to remain in bed for the next few days.

"Do not over exert yourself from here on out with this pregnancy!" Whale warned.

"I will make sure she doesn't!" Emma said as she held Regina's hand and poofed them home.

Whale waited for the smoke to disappear before he left the room and went to his office. When he entered he saw a man sitting in his desk chair.

"Hello Rumple." Whale greeted.

"Hello Dr. Whale. So, did our little experiment work? Or do we need to wait even longer?" Rumple asked calmly.

"It's hard to tell right now. We should know more in a few weeks." Whale said nervously.

"I didn't think they would be dumb enough to forget to take their bloodroot. Contact me the second you know for sure." Rumple said as he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
