(Third Person's Point of View)

Regina was lonely she didn't know why she was signing papers when Archie came "You, um, you wanted to see me?" said Archie

"Yes, i did" said Regina, stop signing and looked up at Archie.
"Right, well, if this is about Pongo's dog license, i-i believe it's still up-to-date" said Archie, sitting down across of Regin at her desk, "This has nothing to do with your dog" said Regina, putting her pen down,
"Madam Mayer, are you alright?" asked Archie.
"I'm okay." said Regina.
"Excuse me for saying so, but you don't seem okay." said Archie.
"I don't tolerate that sort of bluntness." snapped Regina, "I'm the Q----" Regina stopped herself almost saying Queen she took a deep breath, she needs to get used to this, "The Mayer" she corrected herself.
"And i'm a therapist" said Archie, "That's why you asked me here, isn't it? what's bothering you? what are you feeling?"
"Nothing" growled Regina.
Archie looked confused by this

I really do need to practice how i speak thought Regina.


"I'm feeling nothing" Regina corrected herself.
"If i were to guess, i would say...." Archie thought for a second "Your a driven women, and sometimes that can leave a hole" said Archie.
Regina's eyes widen remembering Rumpelstiltskin saying those words to Regina before the curse started "A what?" said Regina.
"A hole. a emptiness. there's more to life than work. and maybe that's why you feel dissatisfied." said Archie.
"I'm not dissatisfied." snapped Regina, "I love my life"
"Well, what's the point if you've got on one to share it with?" said Archie calmly.
"And there's that bluntness again" said Regina.
"Has there ever been a time in your life when you haven't felt this way?" said Archie.
"When that little boy visited." said Regina, "Owen"
"A child" said Archie, smiling a little, "That can provide so much meaning"

(Gold's Pawn Shop)

Regina walked into Mr. Gold's shop, him at the counter, she walked up to him going straight to the point "I need a child, Gold. and i need your help." said Regina.
"well, i'm flattered but uninterested" said Mr. Gold (A/n: that cracks me up every time XD)
"Not like that" said Regina, "I spent all morning talking to adoption agencies the wait-lists are over two years long." she looked at Mr. Gold "But you, Gold, you know how to cut through red tape and if anyone can work the system and find me a baby. it's you."
"You wish to adopt" said Mr. Gold, a little humor in his voice,
"Well, don't look so surprised." said Regina.
"Oh, i'm not. i'm sure you'll make a...." Mr. Gold thought for the words "well, a mother of some sort"
Regina was getting annoyed by him "Can you help me?" said Regina.
"Of course i can but a word of caution ask yourself, is this something your ready for?" said Mr. Gold.
"It's something i need" said Regina.
"Well, that may not be the same thing" Said Mr. Gold.
Regina gave him 'Are you doing it or not' look she wanted a child to share her life with so this emptiness would go away "I'll get you a child" said Mr. Gold.

Regina smiled and started to walk away until Gold called: "But weather or not that's helping you," Regina turned to him "Remains to be seen.when you become a parent, you must put your child first...." "No matter what" he whispered.


(Couple days later)
Regina got news from Mr. Gold so she rushed to hi shop she opened the door and walked in "You have news?" she siad, with a smile,
"Yes, fate maybe on your side" said Mr. Gold, "This morning i, uh, spoke with an agency who had placed a baby boy and girl from phoenix with a family near Boston"
"With a family? and Boy and girl? how is that fate?" said Regina.
"Because the adoption fell through because of the girl. it happens" said Mr. Gold
Regina didn't care the baby had a twin she'll take the baby in the more the better, right?
"So the baby's still needs a home" said Regina, with a smile,
"Indeed" said Mr. Gold, going over to the counter, "As i said, fate appears to e on your side,the agency is in Boston"
he picked up some papers an hand them to Regina "Now, twins are hard, Regina, are you sure" said Mr. Gold.
"I'll do anything to make them happy" said Regina.
