{Regina's POV}
Regina opened her eyes only to see the light flooding in from the window. Blinking a couple times, she sat up. Their wedding was scheduled to be after Killian and Emma's depending on when the baby was to be due. Letting Robin sleep a little longer, Regina showered, got dressed, and headed downstairs to make breakfast.

"Morning Henry," she yawned realizing Henry had already prepared scrambled eggs and toast for them all. Scarfing down his food and trying to talk at the same time, Henry was jumping with news. "Henry, what's wrong? Thank you for making breakfast." He ignored her completely and grabbed her arm swallowing.

"There's no time to eat you have to wake Robin up and we have to go to the hospital! Grandma just called and said my mom was having her baby!" He constricted Regina in a bear hug and quickly grabbed his coat before running out the door.

"Wait! Henr-" she was cut off by the slam of the door. "Well I guess I'll just meet you there." She said before walking upstairs to wake Robin. She tiptoed to the side of the bed and bent down to brush some hair out of his eyes.

Grabbing her arm and scaring Regina half to death, Robin pulled her down on top of him squeezing her. Regina laughed, "Robin what are you doing? We have to hurry and go!" She knew he was still sleeping due to his subconscious forcing him to be unresponsive. He rolled her over to her side of the bed and continued snoring. "Robin! Wake up!" Laughing, Regina shook the sleeping man until he came to.

"What's wrong?" He asked rubbing his eyes and yawning. She told him how he had grabbed her while he slept. He laughed at that. "I'm sorry about that. You know I do things in my sleep without knowing it" He said getting up.

"It's fine I don't care you have to hurry and get ready! Emma's in labor and we have to get to the hospital." After they finished getting ready, Regina put their breakfast in the fridge. They grabbed their coats, got in the car and headed towards the hospital.

"Where's Emma?" Regina asked one of the nurses passing by. The nurse pointed her in the direction of the room where Emma and the newborn stayed. As they walked in, Henry was already bedside holding the baby and staring in awe at his... brother? "Hey is it alright if we..?" Regina asked as Killian and Emma turned their heads towards the door.

"Yeah yeah of course!" Emma waved them in to see the baby. Regina walked in with Robin following obediently behind her. He softly closed the door and walked to the edge of the bed where Emma was holding the newborn.

"This is Liam" Killian said introducing them to the new baby boy.

"What's his middle name?" Robin asked looking from Liam to Hook and Emma. Regina knew about Killian's misfortune with his brother and could sense that he was touched at his son's name.

"We're not really sure yet." Emma said looking up at Hook who shook his head agreeing. Just then, they heard the door open. Regina turned her head to see none other than Peter Pan.

{Killian's POV}
"Thank you Pan" Emma said as the changed boy stood before them.

"Are you crazy?" Regina whipped around to face Hook who held up his arms in protest. He was staying out of this one. She turned her eyes towards Emma. "This demonic man child tried to steal Henry's heart for himself, kill Neal in front of you, AND make us all slaves to his 'new Neverland' before Rumple killed him and himself... and you're thanking him?" There was a short pause before Emma sat up and crossed her arms. She shrugged her shoulders.

"If people should deserve a second chance, then so does he. How many did you get?" Killian could tell that she had hit a soft spot. Regina's weakness besides Henry was her past. Being able to get over it and move on was a struggle enough without people reminding her constantly.

"Very well," she sighed before letting the boy in.

"What's his name?" Pan asked quietly making slight eye contact with Regina as he walked by her revealing his uneasiness.

"Liam," Emma stated smiling. Henry avoided all eye contact with the boy that had tried to steal his heart.

"Liam? After your brother? How sweet," Pan raised an eyebrow at Hook indicating his remembrance of meeting Killian and his brother.

"Look.." Emma said bluntly handing the baby to Killian. "I realize that you're trying to change and I know what I said, but I don't trust you. Regina is right and I see where she's coming from. You did do all of those things. Trust isn't won over night. You have to gain it, so I'd appreciate it if you just left. You're making everyone edgy and my son doesn't trust you, so I don't." Killian placed a hand on the back of Emma's back in support of her decision.

"Very well I understand why you don't trust me" Pan said walking out. "I'll see you guys later," Pan said walking out and closing the door softly behind him.

After almost a full day, Emma and Liam were cleared to head home.

{Pan's POV}
After walking out of the hospital room containing Emma and the child, Peter Pan was instantaneously transported to a house in the country. Continuing his way to the house, he was stopped by a woman.

"You've failed me Peter Pan. The one person I thought I could count on," she said whipping him around to face her.

"If you're counting on me, you should know me by now... I play games. I never fail." He barked back at the woman. She shook her head.

"You better not," she said.

"And you better not forget our deal. I will get you the baby, but you must bring me the boy." He started towards the house again before her words stopped him in his track.

"How is she?" She asked in a threatening voice. Peter Pan couldn't help but smirk and turn back to face the woman.

"She has the man she loves, the child she loves, everything she ever wanted... I'd say she's pretty happy." He replied before something had caught his eye. He followed the corner of his eye looking down at her hand and smugly chuckled to himself. "Jealousy is something you need to learn to control my dear." He turned and kept walking. "Regina will be miserable, and you will no longer be green by the time I'm done."
