My parents leave the hospital room and once the door closes, I scoot over in bed and pat the spot next to me signaling for Regina to sit next to me. She did and I warped my left arm around her shoulders. when I did, I immediately saw tears falling onto the brunettes cheeks. "Regina..." I said and stroked her hair as she continued to cry. she looked up at me, right in my eyes. "I thought I would never see you again." she said, wrapping her arms around me. "But you didn't. I'm here now." I said trying to calm her down but she only cried harder. "Regina, what is going on? your acting like I died!" i said with a bit of a laugh, trying to lighten the mood, but it didn't work either. "Regina... please... tell me what has you so upset." I pleaded. She looked at me sadly and wiped her tears before placing her hand on my flat stomach. "Emma, we have to talk..." she said in a serious tone. "I know... the baby..." I said looking down at her hand, then back up a her and she nodded. "We might have lost it." she said but I smiled and shook my head. "No Regina, I didn't and i won't. I don't feel any different from when I left the house for my morning run the day Neal kidnapped me... well other than the broken arm that is." She looked at me as if I was out of my mind. "No. Emma, its not the same as it was when you left. You had a bump... and now-" "Regina, whatever happens happens. but I promise you, nothing bad happened to the baby." I said again. Regina gave me a weak smile and agreed to drop the subject. "Regina?" I asked. "How were we able to communicate?" a simple question, but I don't know if Regina even had the answer to that. " I'm not sure. all I know is that it proved that you have magic too." She answered. "Yeah, but it was weird. I felt like I could feel your presence when we talked, almost as if you were standing right in front of me and I could feel what you were feeling all while we talked." I explained and Regina thought for a moment. " I don't know dea-" Regina was interrupted by the doctor, who seemed to have an answer to the question we were just pondering about. "The answer is actually quite simple, you guys are true loves, which is actually why I wanted to come in and talk to you about..." He said looking at Regina and I. "Emma, I'm sorry to say you lost your baby." the doctor said sadly. I looked at Regina, tears beginning to fill both of our eyes. She reached out her hand and grabbed mine, giving it a gentle squeeze. "we had to remove it during your surgery. fortunately it was small enough for us to remove without cutting into anything." and thats when the tears began to fall and reality began to set in."But..." the doctor continued.  "Right before we put you in the recovery room, we ran some blood tests like we always do before putting a patient in recovery and the lab results showed that you are still pregnant. I think its most likely because there is still a lot of hormones in your body, but to be safe, we want to do an ultrasound." Regina and I looked at the doctor confused. "Wait, if you removed the baby, then how can I still be pregnant?" I asked not understanding any of this one bit. Regina's face lit up with something and suddenly her frown turned into a huge smile and the tears continued to fall. She gently squeezed my hand before explaining to me what is going on. "It means, that if you are pregnant still, the baby you are now carrying was protected by magic and that... genetically, the baby is also mine." I explained to the blonde whose eyes went wide at the words I had just said. "if thats the case," the doctor said. "You're my true love." I said with a smile at the growing realization. "Yes, that is how the myths go anyways. So, Emma, lets see if we can find a baby." He said with a smile. Regina hopped off the bed while the doctor wheeled my hospital bed down a couple of hallways and into the room where the ultrasound machine was. Regina took her spot next to me again and she layed down next to me, my hand now in hers. The doctor lifted up my hospital gown in order to examine my stomach. He grabbed a bottle of gel and squirted some on my stomach before grabbing the transducer off the ultrasound machine and turning it on. The wand glided against my stomach, my heart pounded with anticipation and my hand was beginning to hurt from Regina's tight grip. The doctor looked up on the screen and stopped moving the transducer before turning back to look at us, a smile on his face. "Well you two, congratulations, you are actually going to have a baby." He said giving the final confirmation. I looked at Regina, who poked at me. both of us crying tears of joy but her eyes weren't just filled with tears, they were filled with love, true love and I was so happy to finally be able to say 'I know what true love is like' and so far, its the best feeling in the world. "The odd thing is though, it looks like you can't be more than 7 weeks pregnant, while the other was around 9." the doctor said confused. "How is that even possible?" I asked and Regina giggled. True love's magic can do some crazy things Emma, this is only part of it." Regina explained. "So the baby before... that was Neal's child?" I asked and the doctor nodded. "And this one... this one has no connection to Neal?"  I asked and the doctor nodded again. "The baby you are carrying now has absolutely no connection to Neal. This one was made from your true love. so congratulations again." the doctor said with a smile. Regina and I smiled at each other again before she stood up so we could go back to the hospital room I was staying in for the next night or two.

I couldn't help the smile that was rapidly growing on my face as I walked back to Emma's hospital room with her and the doctor. I can't believe I was actually going to me a mother. I mean I knew at one point I would be a mother, but I never thought I would ever have my own biological kids. The news that we had just received had been the best news I had heard all week and I was so excited that I could hardly contain myself. Once we were back in the room, and the doctor had left Emma and I to ourselves, I laid back down in the hospital bed with her and looked at her beautiful face. The color had finally returned to her cheeks and her smile was bigger than ever. She smiled at me lovingly and gently grabbed my wrist, and placed my hand on her stomach. "We are going to have a baby Regina, and I honestly couldn't be any happier than where I am, right here, right now, with you by my side. I love you so much Regina." She said lovingly and I smiled at her before leaning in and attaching my lips to hers. I was so glad she was safe, but  I was even happier to be able to kiss my girlfriend again. The kiss was slow, passionate, and full of love. I wanted to make sure I would never forget this perfect moment. Well almost perfect. "Ouch! fuck!" Emma said and I looked down. I had totally forgotten about her arm. I released my grip from her injured arm. "Sorry Em." I said as Emma winced in pain but she laughed it off. "When have you ever called me Em?" she asked and I blushed when i realized that it had just slipped out of my mouth. "I guess your just rubbing off on me Swan." I said teasingly. "Mmm... and I take that as a good thing." she said with a smirk in a low seductive voice. "Emma, if you don't stop, your going to leave me no other choice to fuck you here, right now." I said trying to hide a laugh. "Well Gina, I dare you to fuck me right here, right- hey mom, dad!" she said, her cheeks turning bright red when she realized that they had probably just heard every word that came out of her mouth. I looked over at Snow and David who looked at each other briefly before blushing and looking back at us. "Is this not a good time?" Snow asked but Emma and I both shook our heads. "Good." Snow said as she and David walked further into the room. Thats when I saw that Ruby, my mom, and Zelena were following the Charmings. I looked at Ruby, then at Emma, who was watching me intently. "Its okay Regina, nothing will happen." she whispered her reassurance. "Hey." Emma said quiety as Ruby approached the bed. "Hey." she responded and she gave Emma a forced smile. Emma of course noticing it right away looked back at me. "Hey guys, I know you just came in to visit, but would you mind if Ruby and I had some time to talk alone?" she asked politely. "Of course honey. text us when your ready for us to come back in." Snow said and everyone left the room. I looked at Emma to see if she wanted me to go too and she did. She looked at me and nodded towards the door. but as soon as I stood up, she pulled be down again and kissed me passionately before letting me go to give her and Ruby privacy to talk.

"What the hell was that for?" Ruby asked as her face began to turn red with anger. "Ruby, please sit down, we need to talk." I said. she sighed and sat down on the bed next to me. "Look, I know you have feelings for me and I know your trying your best when Regina is around me, but Ruby, were just friends, nothing more, nor will we ever be more. Regina is my girlfriend and I'm happy with her, so please, just... just try and forget your feelings about me." I said blatantly to the long haired brunette that was sitting on the edge of my bed. "That's the problem Emma, I just can't all of a sudden pretend I didn't have feelings for you. It takes time and I'm trying my very best to get over you, but seeing you with Regina so happy, makes me wish that I was the one who was making you smile." she said sadly. "Ruby, you do make me smile. Maybe not in the same way Regina does, but your such a great friend Ruby. You always make me feel better. sure these last couple of weeks have been a little bit awkward to say the least, but that doesn't mean I don't like you as a friend." I said to her. She smiled at me and grabbed my hand. "I know Emma, and Im so sorry for making it so weird between us. That was the last thing I wanted to happen." Ruby responded. I smiled back up at her. "I know, but whats done is done and theres nothing that can be done about the past. Just promise me not to do that ever again. I hated it. I hated not being able to talk to my only friend." I said and Ruby's smile grew and she hugged me. "I'm so so so sorry Emma." "I know... and ruby, don't worry. you too will find that perfect someone." I said to her with a warm smile. "I know..." she said quietly before we sat in silence for a few minutes. "Hey so Regina and I have some awesome news to share, but we want to tell everyone at the same time. would you mind going and telling everyone to come back in?" I asked beaming. Ruby looked at me questioningly for a second before smiling and nodding and heading out the door.

After another minute, everyone reentered the room following Regina, who was grinning ear to ear and she reclaimed her spot on the bed next to me. I looked at her also a huge smile on my face before we both looked towards everyone in the room who were staring at us and eyeing us suspiciously. "So guys, Regina and I have some amazing news to tell you... do you want to tell them Gina, or should I?" i said lowering my voice for the question I asked Regina. She smiled and grabbed my left hand with her right and intertwined her fingers with mine. "why don't you tell them. they are here to see you after all, not me." Regina answered. I took a deep breath to help calm my nerves which were going crazy with excitement. "So with everything thats been going on these last few days, I ended up losing a baby." I said with a hint of a smirk on my face and I looked over at Regina who looked like she had just gotten a puppy for christmas. "a baby?" Ruby asked. "You mean there were two?" my mom asked eyes going wide. "well, yes and no... its complicated so I'm going to let Regina explain it all." I said lightly squeezing my brunettes hand to tell her to go on. "So basically what happened was Neal got her pregnant a week or two before I met Emma, but of course she didn't know it at the time. On one of Emma's first nights here, I decided to give Emma a late birthday present... and we did it a few more times and that all I'm going to say about that-" "So what does a bloody birthday fuck have to do with this?" Zelena said annoyed and Regina glared at her. she looked at her mother to see if she had any idea as to what was going on, and she obviously did because she had a large smile plastered on her face. "anyways, about a week later, we discovered she was pregnant, obviously you guys know that. However what we didn't know was that she was, in a way, carrying twins until today." we looked at everyone, looks of confusion on everyones face except for Cora's of course. "This second baby, we found out today, is mine, not just Emma's. That was the baby I put the protection spell on." and again we received weird looks from everyone. "I mean like I'm basically the father." Regina finished and everyone nodded in a somewhat understanding way. "but how is that even possible? I mean as far as I know, Regina you aren't a guy." David said and I had to try my very best to keep from giggling. Regina rolled her eyes playfully. "Its because we are true loves. True love's magic is extremely unpredictable and its obvious as to what happened with Emma. We already knew that we were true loves when the curse broke, but this is the purest form of true love." We studied the looks on everyone's faces again and just like before, there was confusion on all but cora's. "Basically what happened dear is that true love knew that something would happen with the baby Emma and Neal had together and that is why Regina was able to get Emma pregnant. Magic knew that Emma and Regina would be true loves even before they figured it out for themselves." Cora explained and this time every understood and smiled at Regina and I. "So... Regina and I are about seven weeks pregnant at the moment." I said beaming with happiness and Regina kissed my cheek sweetly. "Well true love must run in the family." Zelena said rolling her eyes and everyone laughed. "I can't believe I finally found my true love, and it only took about two thousand deaths and a curse for me to find it." Regina beamed at me and I blushed. "well you guys know i certainly wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Regina. She saved my life not once but twice all with in eight weeks. She's given me more than anyone else has ever given me. but the best thing she's given me is her heart." I said and looked lovingly into Regina's eyes. everyone awed at us and we blushed and looked away from each other. "Oh for god sake just kiss already!!" Cora yelled jokingly and that is exactly what Regina and I did and in that moment, everything finally sunk in. Regina was who I was destined to be with and we are what I thought was a myth for the longest time. yet here I am, with my true love at my side and I couldn't be happier.
