The Mills Sisters

In Sync

Regina went down the stairs, grumbling to herself as she made a straight line to the freezer. When she opened it to grab her emergency tub of ice cream and saw it was missing she growled.

"Who dares to steal my ice cream!" She turned around sharply after slamming the door shut and instead went to look for her stash of chocolate she kept in a box on the top shelf and found it missing as well.

"Oh for FUCK SAKE!" She was fuming by now and knew exactly who was responsible for this. "Zelena! You better have a fucking good excuse for eating my chocolate and ice cream!" The brunette witch yelled. Her voice booming through the house and the redhead who was engorging herself in the ice cream that she had topped with extra chocolate stiffened as she sat cross legged on the couch in a hoodie and PJ pants with a blanket over her legs.

As Regina stormed into the living room and spotted her sister she gasped.

"I knew it! Henry wouldn't dare touch my stash..." She began and Zelena quickly put the ice cream aside in a weak attempt to hide it..
"It's not what you think... I just had this craving you know and I just..."
"WHAT ABOUT MY CRAVING?!" The brunette fumed and stormed over to the redhead, grabbing the ice cream for herself and sitting next to her with a huff. "I need this more than you do right now."
"Hey!" The redhead said and then made a face as she doubled over. "God I did not miss this at all." She groaned and Regina watched her closely.
"Miss what?" She asked while she slowly put a hand on her sister's back.
"Well, you might not know but I've been pregnant, and you don't get periods during pregnancy." She was a little snappy and Regina bit her lip before starting to chuckle softly. Her chuckle slowly grew into proper laughter and she shook her head a little.
"I think we need to double the amount of ice cream and chocolate from now on." She mused and Zelena looked at her once the cramps went away a bit.
"You too huh?" She raised her eyebrow and Regina nodded with an apathetic sigh. She took a bite from the ice cream before handing the tub back to her sister..
"I'll send Henry on a special ops mission. We will call it... Bloody Mary" The brunette smirked and got up to go find her son.

"Henry darling, can you come downstairs for a moment, please?" Regina called out to him.

"I'm coming!" He replied, walking out of his room and running down the stairs into the living room. "What's up?"

"Henry Daniel Mills. How many times do I have to tell you to not run on the stairs?" She scolded the teen and crossed her arms as she did so.

Zelena chuckled, amused by the mother and son duo before eating another spoonful of ice cream.

"Mom, I'm not five anymore." He rolled his eyes, casually playing with the pen he had in his hands. "So... what's wrong?"

"No matter how old you are honey. Running up and down the stairs can always be dangerous." She said. "And anyway... I need you to do something for me... For me and for your aunt Zel."

Henry looked between the two women, trying to figure out what they might want.

"We need more ice cream, the chocolate one, of course."

"Pistachio and hazelnuts for me, thank you sweetie." Zelena said with a witty smirk.

"Are you two kidding me?" The boy chuckled, shaking his head. But from the sudden serious look of the two women, he realized it wasn't a joke at all.

"Oh c'mon mom, I'm busy right now." He complained. "I have to study for my exams!" He couldn't mask his annoyance with his clingy mom, during that time of month.

"You studied hard all the morning Henry, you can take a break!"

"But.." He tried again, but Regina stopped him almost immediately.

"Don't argue with your mother." She scolded.

Zelena chuckled again.

The boy raised his arms as he yielded and then nodded. "Fine, I'm going." He murmured, heading toward the door.
"Wait Henry!" Regina called after him and gave him some money. "Don't forget the chocolate!"

"Stupid periods!" He muttered, as he took the money from his mother and headed out.

"Well, while we're waiting on that..." Zelena said and grabbed the remote, turning on the TV. The brunette chuckled and grabbed another blanket, pulling it over herself while curling up next to her sister.
"What are we watching?" She asked and Zelena just kept flipping through the channels, not finding much.
"Maybe we should try a DVD?" She suggested but Regina snorted. She thought about it for a moment then clung tighter to her sister.
"We have Netflix now... DVDs are already ancient history." She took the remote from the redhead and just started up Netflix and looked up a movie.

Henry came back after a while, holding a plastic bag filled with chocolate and ice cream. He put it down on the table with a groan and shook his hand as it hurt from how heavy the bag was.
"Here mom." He said softly and looked at the two women huddled up together on the couch. He thought it was sort of cute to see his mother and aunt so close together, but after considering why they were so close together, he thought it was better to make way and go back upstairs.
"Thank you Henry!" Regina said and looked inside the bag with a smile. The redhead joined her soon enough and pulled out the pistachio ice cream.
"You're the best Hen." She purred and watched the boy smile slightly before going back upstairs.

"Operation Bloody Mary was a success." Regina smirked and ripped the packaging off a chocolate bar.
