It was Christmas Eve and everyone was so excited that Regina and Robin were getting married and having a baby. Christmas Eve was spent at the bakery. Christmas was her busiest time. Henry was helping work the front counter with Mary-Margaret and Emma. At about 2:30 that afternoon, Robin walked in. Regina was in the kitchen baking all the Christmas specials. The shop was busy, so he went straight to the kitchen.

"Hey." He said. "Do you need some help?" He asks walking up to her.

"Hi, baby." She said kissing his lips quickly. "You can help me if you want." She said.

"Okay, what am I doing?" He asked getting and apron.

"Well, in about 10 minutes, you can take the cookies out of the oven and put the ones on the rack in." She says.

"Okay, anything else?" He asks. "When this timer goes off in about 2 minutes, take the cupcakes out of the oven and put this rack in." She says rolling it to the oven. "Okay." He says right after the timer went off. He got to work. He laid the cooked cupcakes on the empty rack and put the raw ones in.

They stayed busy till about 5. Robin stopped working about 5:15. He was nice enough to go pick up dinner for everyone.

Once he got back. Regina ate first, then Henry, then Emma, then Mary-Margaret, and Robin ate last. The shop didn't close till 10. People were in and out ordering cupcakes and cookies all night. Robin being there helped Regina because at around 7, Regina needed to sit because she was tired.

"Are you okay?" He asked as she sat down.

"Yeah, I'm just exhausted. This baby isn't that big and it's already taken a toll on me." She says yawning.

"Yeah, a baby will do that." He says kissing her forehead. "How about I do the rest of the work today and you just relax." He said smiling.

"I can't. I have to icing cupcakes for orders being picked up tonight at 9:45." She says standing up. "I'll relax when I get home. and I don't trust you to icing my cupcakes." She said smiling.

He laughed and took them all out of the oven. "Okay they are cooling." He said walking up to her. He grabbed her a short stool. "While you're icing them, you need to sit." He said putting the stool by her icing station.

"I will, I promise." She said walking to the stool.

The day was finally over. Everyone went home except Regina and Henry. With them moving into Robin's house most of their stuff was already packed and in his house. They decided that this was the first night they felt like a family. Robin's bed was huge, so Robin, Regina, Henry, and Roland all bundled up in his bed. They drank hot chocolate with cinnamon and Regina brought home Christmas cookies.

They all got 2 cookies and cup with hot chocolate. They all decided to watch The Santa Clause 2. Henry and Roland both love that movie. It was already late so after the two kids ate their cookies and drank their drink they both knocked out. Henry fell asleep next to Robin and Roland fell asleep next to Regina. After about 30 minutes they were all asleep like one happy family.

It was Christmas morning and Robin woke up first. Regina was laying on his chest with Roland's arm around her waist. Henry was facing Robin but was curled up in a ball. They were up very late and Robin didn't want to wake anyone, especially Regina. She needed her sleep more than anyone. He decided to stay awake and wait for someone to wake up.

Henry woke up next. "Merry Christmas Henry." He said quietly.

Henry smiled. "Merry Christmas." He said sitting up.
