Sweet Little Lost Boy
Evelina rolled her eyes as she watched Peter rapidly clean the apartment, all while muttering under his breath about how messy Evelina and the baby were.
"Peter-"
"And these dishes have been in this bloody sink for days and no one has bothered to wash anything." He muttered as he washed the dishes aggressively.
"Peter-"
"That boy is a month old now, he should start pulling his weight around here. He could at least wash some dishes!"
"He's a baby, Peter. He can't even lift up his own head yet."
"And you too! When's the last time you washed a dish?"
"When's the last time you pushed a 7 pound baby out of your fucking vagina?! When's the last time your nipples were chapped because your little love goblin bit them?! Huh? When you have the ability to create life, then you can complain to me about the damn dishes!"
Peter let out a sigh before turning to his girlfriend. He sent her an apologetic smile and grabbed her hands.
"My love, I'm sorry for what I said. I'm just stressed." He said quietly. Evelina sighed.
"But why? It's only the boys coming over." She said, trying to ease Peter's stress. Evelina kissed Peter's neck as she rubbed his shoulders.
"Stop, I'm trying to clean." Peter protested weakly when he felt Evie's kisses.
"And I'm trying to get laid," Evelina whispered teasingly. She giggled when Peter turned around again to give her a playful glare.
"It's this kind of talk and behavior that happened, and we ended up with Sebastian... Not that I'm complaining. The making process was fun." He said cheekily.
"Of course the sex was fun for you. You didn't have to push a baby out though. I don't want to go through that again, ya hear?"
"We can always adopt in about a year."
"And this is why I love you."

About a week ago, Peter had announced that he was bringing the Lost Boys back to Storybrooke. Neverland was dying without him, and there was no point in keeping the boys on the island with Felix anymore. During one of Peter and Felix's daily mirror chats, Pan had managed to convince them all to return to the Land Without Magic so they could meet his son. It had caused a happy riot among the boys because apparently many didn't know Evelina was pregnant.
"You didn't tell them I was pregnant?!"
"I only told Felix and I just assumed he would tell everyone else!" Peter protested.
The day they opened the portal, Peter went to greet his friends. And while Evelina would've joined him, the day was too cold for Sebastian to be outside, so she waited at home, cooking food for the boys instead.
Evelina gave up cooking after ten minutes of attempt and instead ordered in food from Granny's. While waiting for the food and Peter to arrive, little Sebastian had awakened from his nap, cranky as ever. His chubby arms thrashed around as he waited for his mother to attend to his crying needs. When Evelina did come into his line of sight, Sebastian instantly felt calmer and settled down. His crying ceased as he was lifted into his mother's arms and he snuggled into her.
"Oh my twitchy little boy, how I love you so, I give you bowls of porridge and I give you bowls of ice... cream!" Evelina sang goofily to the baby. Sebastian gave her a toothless smile and tried to yank on her hair. She grunted as his tiny fist managed to get a chunk of her hair and he pulled. Evelina let out a yelp before glaring at him.
"If you weren't so cute, I would've already sent you off to China or something." She threatened. Evelina put Sebastian into his crib in the family room before heading to the kitchen to make his bottle. She heard the baby's fussing again and sighed before rushing back to her baby, now with his warm bottle of milk.
But when she entered the room, the scene shocked her so much she dropped the bottle.
Emerging from the crib was a streak of ice, covering the ceiling and the wall-crawling with frost. Evelina peered into the crib to see Sebastian sucking on his hand sloppily as if nothing had happened.
"My baby has powers... Your grandfather is going to be over the moon."
She pulled out her phone immediately called for the only person who she knew could help her.
"My baby's broken, Regina."
"I'll be over in ten."
~
When Regina arrived, Evelina was just staring at the crib, her hands folded under her chin.
"He made that on the wall." She mumbled as she pointed to the harsh ice and frost. Regina nodded slowly before approaching the baby, who was too happy to care about anything. Regina picked Sebastian up and examined him carefully. Nothing seemed off, even the drool on the side of the baby's mouth was normal as he stared back at Regina.
"So he has powers just like yours?" Regina asked as she put Sebastian back into his crib. She also handed the baby his pacifier.
"Yes. I didn't know he would inherit my powers. I always thought Peter would just teach him magic when he was older..." Evelina mumbled as she remembered Peter's very detailed rant about what he was going to teach Seb.
"Seems right. Your ice gene is immensely strong. You inherited both your mother and father's abilities. It was a 50 /50 chance your child would at least inherit some ice ability." Regina said before taking a seat next to a worried Evelina.
"He won't be like my mom, will he? Afraid of his own powers?"
"Were you afraid of your powers?" Regina countered. Evelina scrunched her face. She couldn't think of a time she was ashamed of her powers. She embraced them, and as far as she could remember, Regina had always helped her have better control over her powers. The lessons were brutal, but helped nonetheless.
"No, I wasn't. Between you and Jack, I was always told to embrace my powers." Evelina mumbled.
"Well, then you have nothing to worry about. Now, he has you to teach him control, Pan to help him as well, and I will assist as well if needed." Regina comforted. Evelina smiled and leaned into the queen.
"You're the best, you know that?" Evelina said and Regina chuckled.
"I've been told a couple of times. But it's nice to hear it from you."
~
After Regina had left, and Evelina managed to get the ice off the wall, she gave Sebastian a bath. It was harder than Evelina expected, now with the baby's awakened powers. He seemed to like to freeze the bath water. Eventually, the mother gave up and dried Sebastian off, dressing him in his best clothes and giggling at his chubby face.
"I love you Baby Bash." Evelina cooed at him. She continued to babble incoherent things to her baby until she suddenly heard the door open. Evie heard a ruckus of voices all entering the loft and Evelina smiled. She picked up Sebastian and rocked him as she headed out into the living room.
"Where's the baby?"
"We want to see the baby!"
"Curly take that out of your mouth!"
"Devin, T.T, no that is not something you throw around! You're going to break it!"
A loud crash was suddenly heard and Peter's cursing followed. As Evelina walked into the living area to see one of her glass vases broken, and Curly sucking on a plastic apple toy.
"What the hell?"
Everyone stopped to turn to Evelina as soon as she spoke. Their eyes diverted to the small bundle in her arms that wouldn't stop blubbering.
"Oh my god, its the baby." Rufio breathed. Evelina chuckled and handed Peter the baby when he approached her. Felix cautiously peered down over Peter's shoulder, down to the baby.
"He looks squishy." Curly commented and Nibs elbowed him.
"What's his name?" Pogocat asked as he got a turn to look at the baby.
"His name is Sebastian."
Various gasps escaped the lost boys. Their eyes widened at the chose of name and Evelina thought she had accidentally broken them. But Felix then let out a small chuckle and gave a grateful smile to the new parents.
"I think it's perfect for the next legacy of the Lost Boys."
Peter grinned as he allowed Felix a turn to hold Baby Bash. He turned to Evelina and kissed her forehead lovingly.
"Our sweet little Lost Boy."

Epilogue will be up in a day. It sorta pains me to see this book end.
An emotional note from me is at the very end of this book. I teared up writing the Epilogue.
See you all in a day.
Cheers.
