The Queen & Her daughter.

The New Beginning

The dark curse had began taking over the kingdom, and the Evil Queen had just arrived at Snow White and Prince Charming's Castle. Snow was enjoying holding her new infant, as she kissed her head understanding that she has to set her free. The brunette smiled softly, "find us Emma. I know you will". After the infant was placed in charming's arms, he gave her a longing kiss as he whispered, "I love you". The prince quickly ran down the hall making his way towards the nursery. As he was near, he noticed the black knights were present. A small sword battle occurred, and he had made his way into the nursery. The prince placed the infant in the wardrobe and believed it had been sealed as he felt the knight stab him through the stomach. He had quickly faded before seeing the queen enter the room. A bright smile spread on the queens' features, as she placed the infant in her arms, "Don't worry Emma. I've got you. I will make sure you will have everything you have ever wished for, and no one will ever treat you poorly". Regina had decided to curse herself in this new life as she had given birth to Emma. It was also a perk that everyone would forget her past, including herself. The purple smoke engulfed the realm, transporting everyone to a small town now know as StoryBrooke. The smoke fell, the air was clear once again revealing the perfect town.

Regina had awoken to faint cries from down the hall. She rose from her bed, peering out the window as her sly grin took over. She made her way down the hall; the door was black with purple lettering spelling out Emma. The brunette swiftly made her way to the crib and lifted the small girl into her arms. Bouncing her with soft humming, "It's alright, Mommy's here. I've got you my sweet princess". Regina then took the infant to the kitchen, making a warm bottle. Ensuring the temperature is correct, she then put the nipple towards Emma's mouth quickly getting her to eat. As Emma slowed down, the woman then slowly removed it, lifting her up slightly to burp her. Once it was completed, Regina had returned to the nursery to change Emma. She was placed in a soft, light purple onesie, and laid in her crib so her mother could get dressed. Regina exited the room for a few moments before returning in black dress pants, and a silk purple top. She had to keep up her appearance, as you know she is the mayor.
Regina had placed Emma into the stroller once they were outside. The woman and her daughter took a small stroll through town, until they had reached the small dinner. The stroller was maneuvered inside the diner, and the mother had chosen a booth. Ordering a coffee, fruit, and eggs. Emma quickly filled the diner with her cries. Regina had lifted her, attempting to soothe but the crying had gotten worse. Granny had come over, with a soft smile, "let me see her. You look exhausted". The brunette reluctantly handed over Emma, while the elderly woman secured her. Granny then rocked her softly, singing a soft lullaby that was once sung to Ruby. Regina was thankful that Granny had assisted her so that she was able to eat and relax for a moment. After all she is still a new mother, learning new skills and techniques each day.

Regina made her way from the diner to main hall quickly to sign a paper for a new town playground. After the quick visit, the woman returned home noticing Emma yawning softly. The former queen smiled down towards her daughter, "Oh, goodness my princess is just so tired". Regina then laid the infant in her play pin, that has an attachment for a bassinet feature. Regina then sat in her home office for some time, ensuring the paperwork is caught up and that all town proposals will be looked at. The afternoon had flown by, as the evening approached there was a knock on the mansion's door.

The brunette's brow arched, as she opened the door. It was none other than sheriff Graham, and he had flowers in his hand. He cleared his throat, "Hello madam mayor, I was wondering if you would have dinner with me". A blush colored the woman's cheeks, "Of course. I would love nothing more, but you do remember Emma is here, right?". Graham nodded his head, "Well yeah. That little one has me wrapped around her finger. It just makes this night even better. The sheriff then swiftly pulled the brunette in for a kiss as it began to heat up, the woman pulled away hearing Emma's cries.

She spoke up to ensure Graham could hear, "you know that you can come here more than just in the evening... we are dating after all my dear". The blonde sheriff let a chuckle escape, "I know it's just, my boss has me working all of the day shifts, and most night shifts". Regina rolled her eyes playfully, "Well since I'm the boss, I will ensure that you receive more employees so that way, you have breaks in between too". Graham looked towards the woman with a grin, "How about some lasagna? You do make the best one. I could never dream of trying to copy it". Regina nodded and peered towards him, "Only if you watch my little princess here". Graham had agreed and scooped Emma into his arms with a smile, "you have me wrapped around your finger little sheriff".

Regina quickly made work of making her lasagna, as she sat at the kitchen island speaking with Graham and playing peek-a-boo with Emma. The buzzer from the timer had then gone off, as Regina turned slightly; "Just lasagna or would you like salad too?". Graham thought for a moment, "How about just the lasagna. By the time we finish and clean up. This little one will be in bed, and so will we". The woman quickly rolled her eyes and pulled the lasagna out of the oven. During the time, she had made a bottle for Emma. As the layered pasta cooled, Regina had taken Emma back into her arms. The infant cooed softly, looking towards her mother, as she found the bottle. She had swallowed the formula quickly, before Regina adjusted it to make her slow down. She sighed, "Little princess, you have to eat slowly or you're going to hurt that little tummy". Emma had finished the bottle and was quickly burped. The infant let out a yawn once more putting her fingers in her mouth as she attempted to keep her eyes opened. Regina let a smile upon her features, as she whispers" Come on my little one. Lets get you changed and to bed, shall we? I'll be right back Graham". Regina made her way up the stairs, changing her baby into a soft onesie. The mayor began to hum softly, until Emma had fallen asleep. Once asleep, she ensures the baby monitor was on and made her way down the stairs.

The brunette smirked at the Sheriff, as he had made their plates and drinks ready for her arrival. Regina took it upon herself, as she reached the kitchen to sit on Graham's lap. Placing her forehead against his, "Thank you darling. I feel so thankful and lucky to have you". Regina then began passionately kissing the blonde-haired man. He pulled away after a few minutes, "I am thankful for you as well. How about we eat, and I know you've had a long day, so we'll go upstairs to relax and sleep". Graham and Regina both finished their meal and made their way upstairs. Graham changed so that he was in his black boxers with a grey shirt. Regina had changed into silk black pajamas, and once she walked from the closet she laughed, "I know you like me sheriff, but there was no need for matching pajamas". Graham laughed as he moved towards the woman, lifting her with a spin on his heels before placing her in the bed "That's what makes this night even better". The brunette smiled, as Graham laid next to her laying her head on his chest. The heart beat of the man was steady, and assisted on Regina to fall asleep quickly after her long day.
