The Queen & Her daughter.

The following day

Regina woke in the middle of the night, taking the little one upstairs. As she whispered,

" I love you princess. I hope you feel better in the morning". She placed a kiss onto the blondes temple, laying her down.

The woman took a moment, sitting in the rocking chair letting out a soft sigh. She was thought / Maybe I'm still in love with Mal. Yes, I was crushed when she left me at the airport, but we've both grown since then. I might just be overthinking it, or it's way to soon. It's probably way to soon, right? I don't really know her anymore. I'm not sure. I'd like a new life with her, and of course my little one. Maybe Emma would like having a second mother too".

Regina's thoughts were interrupted quickly by the blonde softly clearing her throat, arching a brow. The short woman glanced at the crib one more time, ensuring Emma was asleep. She then made her way to Mal, softly shutting the door to the nursery.

The taller blonde pulled her into her softly, " Lets get some sleep. We'll talk about it in the morning Gina". The shorter woman nodded, and the pair made their way to Regina's room.

In the morning, Regina arched a brow as she felt two small hands tugging her arm. " Mamas upps. Wans youse", she whined out softly. The brunette carefully lifted the little girl on the bed with her, groaning lightly when she felt the small arms used to climb on her chest. Once she realized what was happened, she opened her eyes with an arched brow.

" Emma, how on earth did you get in here, hmm". She kept the stern brow arched looking her daughter in the eyes. The toddler quickly grew an innocent grin before laying her head back down on her mothers chest letting out a yawn. Regina shook her head before she stated, " Fine, sleep a little more princess but we will be talking about this later".

The brunette glanced over seeing Mal was still sound asleep, and then glanced towards the alarm clock. Squinting for a moment as the clock read 5:04am, the woman huffed before wrapping her arms around Emma again while closing her eyes.

The alarm clock had gone off around 7:30am. Regina let out a groan, as she felt the lightness on her chest. The brunette raised a brow as she sat up seeing that the tall and short blonde were missing from the bed. " Emma? Mal? Where on earth". The woman moved out of the bed, making her way downstairs. Peering into the living room seeing the toddler cuddled with Mal, " Emma, did you trade me in?". She smirked looking towards the toddler.

Emma let out a squeak once she heard the familiar voice, " Mama!!". The little one screamed out and squirmed getting off the couch and darting to her mother. Regina then squatted opening her arms with a bright smile. " That's mamas girl. How are you feeling today princess?". She then placed a kiss to her forehead, frowning when she realized there was still a slight fever. Emma smiled softly, " Betas but huts", she pointed to her head before snuggling against her mother.

Regina lifted the toddler up, and nodded softly. " Don't worry baby, mama will fix it". With those words, she made her way into the kitchen grabbing a sippy cup before adding juice. Regina gasped, " What on earth is Mal doing?". She chuckled trying to distract her daughter as she slipped the children's Tylenol into her juice. " Here you go, the juice will help". The woman smiled as she made her way back into the living room.

" What had you guys up so early?". She tiled her head slightly peering towards the blonde. Maleficent looked into her eyes with a smile, " Well a certain little one was restless and hungry. We've been up since around 6:45ish". The blonde chuckled looking towards the other woman. " So, I made her a good breakfast and had her be quiet so her mother could sleep".

Regina smiled, " I appreciate it. Thank you". Regina raised a brow towards the toddler, " Now you my little one, we need to have a chat about this morning". Emma sunk against her mother hiding against her chest. " mmm, nope Emma. You're not getting out of this one". Regina moved to sit down on the chair, gently removing the girl to set her on her lap. " Now how on earth did my little one get into mamas room by herself?". Emma poked out her lip knowing she wouldn't be happy before rubbing at her eyes, " mes cims mama. Mes wansed youse..". She attempted to choke out wanting to explain that she had a night mare as she mumbled, " nos guds sweeps".

Regina clung to the toddlers words, attempting to decipher what was being said. Once she caught up analyzing it, she nodded softly. " I understand you weren't sleeping good, but that's when you call for mama. You are not allowed to climb from your bed, for right now. I know you're gonna need a big girl bed, but not yet. You could get hurt from climbing. You promise you'll call for me from now on". Emma's continues to wobble, nodding her head softly "powmis".

Regina kissed her daughters head once again, as she then set her down. " Now, how about you go play for a little bit. Mama and Mal need to talk too". Emma whined softly, but received the look, as she toddled over to her toys. Regina stood making her way over to the blonde, sitting beside her.

" Mal, We need to talk too"...
