Darkness seemed to cover storybrook, days and nights started to merge together. Winter was upon them and it would be a harsh winter. With the fading light ad the icy cold air the dwarves where not able to mine and the merry men struggled to stay warm at their camp. With Robin now living in the mayors mansion. She took it upon herself as mayor to make sure that everyone had a warm place to stay this winter. There was enough money left over in the towns budget to pay for granny to keep the merry men in the bed and breakfast until the cold had past.She was 5 weeks into her pregnancy and she could feel a slight bump forming on her flat stomach. Regina sat at her office desk it had been a few weeks since er and Robin talked about going to see Zelena. Neither of them had mentioned it again so for now she thought it best to leave it be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Robin spent the day patrolling the woods in the icy cold air. He had a lot on his mind and a walk in the woods made him feel slightly more at home and able to think clearly. He claimed he was protecting storybrook by patrolling the woods but in all honesty he was trying to keep his sanity.

Annie had finished decorating the house that her and Harrington now owned together. It was only small with one bedroom and bathroom kitchen and a tiny living space. But it was theirs. It's what they had wanted for so long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Annie had just picked up some lunch from granny's and headed over to the mayors office. She often found herself visiting her mother for lunch as she wasn't living in the mayors mansion anymore she didn't see Regina all that often.
" One grilled cheese for madame mayor." Annie strolled into the office not even bothering to knock.
" Hey sweetie." Lifting her head up from the desk she took the takeaway bag off Annie.
" What's Wrong? " Annie could see that something was playing on Regina's mind.
" Nothing sweetie." Regina tried to convince Annie.
" Mother you know you can't lie to me." Annie's voice was stern.
" I mentioned to Robin about going to see Zelena about five weeks ago and he just has brushed It off like I wasn't serious about it." Regina's heart dropped.
" I'll go see Aunt Zelena, it's been years since her and i spoke she doesn't even know that she's my Aunt, but then again i do t know how any of you keep track in this family." They both burst out laughing. It was good to she a smile on Regina's face. " Do you want to go now?"
" No! It will have to be later when Robin is asleep I don't want him to know." Regina felt like was back to her evil ways plotting so that Robin wouldn't know. But she knew it was for the best, seeing her sister Zelena who was carrying the same man's child. " How do you know Zelena? Annie."
"It was shortly after I got appointed as M.E.R.L.I.N that I came across her in Oz, which is a different realm, I'm not sure if you have heard of it. But she is greatly power. She is a child of two worlds she was bound to be, but she just wanted a family, friends somewhere she could fit it, back then that was what I wanted so I hung around in Oz for awhile and we became friends. Then she got told something about her mother and a second born child, which I'm guessing is you, and she left. Just like that." Annie took a bit of her grilled cheese.
" She just waned a Family? " Regina's voice was small and quiet.
" Yes. " Annie said with a mouth full of food.
"Mid night, be at granny's it's about time I had a chat with my dear sister." Regina felt butterflies in her stomach.
The rest of the day past slowly, but with Roland tucked up fast asleep in bed, she and Robin got into their night clothes and made their way into bed.
