~PROLOGUE P2~

~Storybrook~

When the curse was first at play, little ali was set up for adoption. Regina got what she wanted, a happy ending. She was the mayor of the town she invented, storybrook.

It was quiet, peaceful. That was the problem. It was too quiet and peaceful. She felt alone, empty. So one day, she called upon a friend to help her. In the old land, he was originally Jeremy cricket but now, he is Dr hoppers The therapist.

At the time, she was going through paperwork when he came in. He stood there, awkwardly until he spoke up.

"You um.. Wanted to see me?"

"Yes I did" She said, not looking up at him.

"Well if this is about Pongos dog licence" He began, taking a seat across from her. He was technically shaking in his boots "I-i Believe it's still up to day." He assured

"This has nothing to do with your dog, hopper" Her voice held no emotion as she glanced up at the concerned man/cricket.

"Madam mayor, are you alright?" Archie asked. Regina twisted her fingers and replied "I'm Okay..."

"Excuse me for saying so, but you don't seem okay..." She was getting frustrated a bit and went snappy

"I do not tolerate that sort of bluntness! I am the Qu-" She stopped herself from going on. 'Stupid!' She thought. Regaining her posture, she restarted. "The mayor"

"But I am a therapist and that's why you asked me to hear isn't it?" She then had a pouty face on. "What's bothering you? What are you feeling?" He asked again.

"Nothing!" She declared ,staring into his soul like she can read him. He looked utterly confused so she decided to rephrase "I-im Feeling nothing..."

"If i were to guess, i would say that you're a driven woman and sometimes that can leave a whole"

When he spoke, that reminded her of the time she held Mr. Gold's, aka Rumpelstiltskin's daughter. It felt like the whole she once had in her chest, was healed.

But still being clueless she asked "A what?"

"A whole, an emptiness. There's more to life than work and maybe that's why you feel dissatisfied?"

"I am not dissatisfied! I love my life!" She interrupted his little speech. Anger was building up inside of her.

"Well" Archi began "What's the point when you have no one to share it with?" He was right, but Regina is to stubborn "That bluntness again"

"Has there ever been a time when you haven't felt this way?" Yes she thought. But that reminded her of ali and how cute, funny and determined to always boop your nose when holding her was. So she said.

"When i held that little girl... Aaliyah"

"Child" He interrupted

"That type of light has so much meaning..."

~~~~~~~~~~

Later that same evening, Regina found herself barging into Mr Gold's shop. He was the last person she wanted to ask but, even she had to admit that he was brilliant at this type of stuff. The bell rang furiously as she pushed the door open.

"I need a child Gold, and I need your help..."

He looked at her amused

"Im flattered, but uninterested"

"Not like that!" She cut him off letting out a deep sigh.

"I have spent all morning, talking to adoption agencies the waitlist for over 2 years long"

She was becoming desperate! I mean, she didn't go to Golds for nothing.

"But you gold. You know how to cut through red tape and if anyone can cut the system and find me a baby, it's you" She had faith in Gold.

For once, she had faith in the dark one to get her a child. And if he couldn't, who can?

"You wish to adopt?" He asked, surprised written all over his face but on the inside, he had an idea.

Even if he couldn't talk to his little girl or be her proper family for 11 more years, he just wanted to see her again and watch her grow up, even if it's not with him. But right after the curse is broken, he's getting custody over his kid like a snap of his fingers.

"Don't act so surprised" She drew him out of his devious thought

"I'm not" he then felt jealous. She will have children while he has one a million miles away and another who is stuck. Without a memory.

"I'm sure you will make a... well- a mother of some sort"

"Can you help me?" She demanded more that asked

"Of course i can but" He started "A word of caution, ask yourself is this something you're ready for?"

"Its something i need"

"Well that may not be the same thing" If looks can kill, Mr gold would be six feet under after what he said.

But with all honesty, he was despite as well.

"Il get you a job" Regina then begins to walk to the door

"But whether or not that's helping you" Regina paused her movement and turned to Mr Golds

"Remains to be seen. When you become a parent, you must put your child first" The guilt he was trying to push away slowly came flooding back. Baelfire being gone and Belle dead. This was his last hope. Even if it was classed as selfish.

"No matter what" He finished. she was about to walk out again until he stopped her.

"You know, if you want a child, they will be lonely on their own" He was trying to compromise.

"They will have me, that is all they need"

"But how about someone its own age? A sibling?"

She thought for a solid minute. Would that be good, bad? Making up her mind she said.

"Fine but i only want 2 children" And then she walked out. His plan after 17 years is in action!

~~~~~~~~~~

And with that, Mr gold had gotten Regina 2 beautiful babies. A Boy who she named henry and a girl who was called Lydia.

Regina found out that Henry's mother was the savour and that Lydia was the same Aaliyah she held all those years ago but, after some re thinking and maybe, quite possibly taking a potion to forget her problems ever existed, She started to accept it.

Regina finally had gotten her happy ending
