The Queen & Her daughter.

Crawling and Causing Micheif

* Time Jump *
* Who should Regina end up with?*

​Emma was now a year-old babbling, giggling, and beginning to walk. Regina groaned lightly, "Emma, get back here princess. We have to go to Mommy's office for a little while. You're getting so fast at crawling, but you can't outrun your mother". She chuckled before swooping down and scooping the little one up, "Gotcha". Emma let out a huff and stared towards her mother with her own look her mama gives when she's annoying. The small blonde began to squirm around in the former queens arms whining. Regina smirked, "you are definitely my daughter.". Regina swiftly made her way back to the nursery, gathering Emma's clothes for the day.

Regina made quick work of changing the small one into a t shirt with a crown on it, and a pair of soft pants. "There we go princess. This will show everyone how much of a princess you truly are". Emma had settled letting out more incoherent babbles. The brunette then lifted her child once again, "Come on sweetie, lets go to mommy's room, so I can get changed". The pair made their way down the hallway, Regina entered laying Emma on the bed surrounding her by pillows. "There now you can't fall off". She signed softly before moving her way into the closet, and appearing in her slim grey pantsuit, with a red shirt. Regina then walked from the closet, as she arched a brown, seeing the empty spot on the bed. The former queens heart began to race, "Emma, baby? Where on earth did you go?". Emma had slid from the bed and crawled into the bathroom getting ahold of the toilet paper as she let out a loud squeal pulling it off the cardboard tubing. Regina heard her daughter and rushed into the bathroom observing the infant covered in the white paper. "Oh, my goodness Emmaline Regan Mills, what have you done".

Regina lifted the little one into her arms and made her way to the play pen in the woman's room. "Now, you stay here while mama goes and cleans the mess up". The woman made haste of cleaning the toilet paper that was scattered, shaking her head with a small laugh. Once completed, she made her way back to the infant, "Alright baby girl. Let's go to my office and get some stuff done, shall we?".

Regina cradled the infant to her black Mercedes. The door was opened, as she settled the blonde in her car seat and strapped her in, "There we go". Emma beamed up at her mother, before putting her fingers in her mouth with a gummy grin. Regina shook her head, removing the small hand, wiping it clean, and placed a purple pacifier in the little one's mouth. "That's better princess. I don't like it, but it's better than those tiny fingers". The brunette placed her purse and the diaper bag in the passenger seat, settling herself in the drivers. She made her way to the office, climbing from her seat. The brunette smiled as she nodded towards the sheriff saying hello. Regina then made her way to the other side of the car laughing softly before opening the door. The mayor noticed the child sound asleep as she carefully unstrapped her and scooped her into her arms. The woman then grabbed her purse and diaper bag.

Once inside the office, Regina placed Emma in the crib with a smile. She then set her bags beside her desk to get to work. While working the raven-haired woman began to daydream, she was wondering if she had a future with someone. Emma was everything she needed, but she was curious. It had been sometime since she stopped seeing Graham. Regina continued for a moment, before taking a breath making headway on her stack of paperwork that needed completed.
Around a half an hour later Emma began to cry loudly. Regina jumped startled, as she quickly made her way to the crib. The infant was quickly lifted, "Oh my girl. What's wrong. Mama's here". Emma continued to wail, as she curled into her mother's chest. The little one quickly tried to chew on her fingers once more. Regina's brow arched as she realized what was going on, "Oh my little princess is getting more teeth. Don't worry we'll get it calmed down". She made her way to her desk and leaned over gathering the diaper bag. The brunette pulled infant's Tylenol from the bag giving her a small dose.

"There is my sweet Emma, that will help it calm down". Regina then made her way to the small fridge/freezer combo in her office and pulled out a frozen ring for the blonde to chew on. Regina then began rocking the sweet infant while she chewed on the ring. She had finally settled and resituated herself. Emma stared up at her mother, falling back asleep. The rest of the afternoon consisted of Regina holding Emma close to monitor her fever. Once she was completed at the office, Regina then made her way to grannies. Emma was now on solid foods, and Regina wanted her to try something new. Once inside the diner, Regina sat in her usual booth. Ruby had come up, "What can I get you Madame Mayor?". Regina shook her head for a moment, "Regina is fine dear, thank you. I would like my normal salad, and for this little one would like some applesauce. Please and thank you dear".

Regina awaited the food to arrive, as she softly began to hum. Once the food arrived, Regina removed the teething ring from Emma and sit her up in her lap. "Here we go sweetie. This is one of mama's favorites". Regina added a small amount of applesauce to the spoon, and softly placed it in the girl's mouth. Emma made an "mmm" sound once she tasted it. Regina laughed as she realized what occurred, "Well, I guess mama will be making you applesauce at home too". Emma began to babble once more, bouncing in her mother's lap, "mmmm – aaaa". She squealed excitedly attempting to say a word. Regina looked towards her, "What are you trying to say Emma girl?". Emma squealed once again, "Mama" she screamed out. The mayors' eyes had filled with joyful tears, "Yes baby girl. I'm mama".
The raven-haired woman beamed brightly as she heard the simplest of words, as it made her heart full. Once they had finished eating, they returned to the mansion. She carried her daughter and their belongings into the home. Setting them down on the counter and looked towards Emma. "How about we play a little bit, and then we get you into the bath". Emma clapped her hands and realized once she was set down, she crawled towards the living room.

Emma quickly found her way to her toys that were scattered on the floor. She sat down and began laughing loudly while playing. Regina walked in smirking at her daughter. The brunette sat on the floor, playing with her daughter for what seemed like hours. The mayor stood and lifted the small girl up. "Alright my little one, bath time". Emma clung to her mother's shirt, shaking her head as they approached the bathroom. Regina shook her head softly at the young one, "I'm sorry princess but you need a bath". Emma let a huff out as she glared at her mother. Regina chuckled as she started the bath water, filling the tub up to only cover to the small one's stomach. "Okay little miss, come on". Regina quickly removed Emma's clothing turning to set her in the warm water.

The brunette ensured the little one was in the water, "I know baths aren't fun, so let mama do this quickly. This way you'll be done and in your comfy pajamas". Emma giggled as she splashed some, getting Regina's shirt wet. Emma then burst into a fit of giggles, "Mama!". She then felt her mother washing her hair as she began to squirm around. Regina made quick work of washing her so there would be no tantrums.
Regina looked towards the infant for a moment, "You wanna get out or you want to splash mama more". Emma beamed a gummy grin as she began to splash more. It was easy to tell that Emma was slightly more advanced than her age, since she understood what her mama was saying to her. After a few minutes, Emma raised her arms making her grabby hand motion towards Regina. The little one was indicating that she wanted to be done and lifted up in a fluffy purple towel. The woman dried the girl off, placing a new diaper on her, and in her footie pajamas that have small ducks on them. "There's my clean princess in her comfy pajamas". The woman smiled softly as she seen her child rub at her eyes. She then made her way to the nursery, sitting in the rocking chair as she hums softly to the girl. Emma quickly drifted to sleep in her mother's arms and was then set in her crib. Regina decided it was best to return to her room, changed, and quickly fell asleep.
