The Lost Girl

Chapter Forty Two

*Regina's POV*
I woke up the next morning. No one knew I had returned, except for Hook, Emma, Taylor and Henry. Emma wasn't in the bed. I looked around the room and stopped when I saw a note on the nightstand, with my name on the front of it. "Regina, you were still asleep when I woke up, so I let you sleep. I had to go into work today. I'm glad you're back, one because I missed you, and two because I didn't like having to do all the queen work, by myself. Well, anyways. Take the day off. I'll be home as soon as I can leave. I'm not going to tell anyone you're home until you're ready. I'll see you later. I love you. -Emma xo" I love this woman. I'm glad to be home. It was almost noon. Emma would be taking a lunch break soon. Taylor and Henry were off with Snow and Charming for lessons. I had the house to myself. I looked at my phone and it was noon. I scrolled through my contacts until I found Emma's name. I smiled and clicked on her name. The phone began ringing and I waited for an answer. "Queen Emma." She said when she answered. I smiled. "Hello, your majesty." I said into the phone. "Hello Mrs. Mills." She said. I smiled to myself. "Your majesty, there's a problem." I said, with a fake tone of fear. "Oh? And what is it?" Emma asked. "Your wife misses your warmth." I said. She let out a chuckle. "Well, please, tell her I'll be home soon." She said. "She wants to know how long soon is." I said. "A few hours." I heard Emma say. "That's too long. She's cold." I said. "Well, tell her I'll be home soon and we can take a bubble bath." Emma said. "But, she misses you." I said. "I miss her too. But, I'll be home as soon as I can come home Mrs. Mills." She said. "Emmaaaa." I whined. "Yes?" She said back. "I love you." I said. "I love you my queen. I'll be home as soon as I can." Emma said. "Fineeee." I whined and she chuckled. I hung up and just sat in the bed. I turned on the tv and switched it to Netflix. I picked Mona Lisa Smile from the log and began watching it.
*Emma's POV*
I was supposed to be working for a few more hours, but, I had finished all my papers, so I took the rest of the day and decided to surprise Regina. I walked in the door and closed it quietly. I took off my shoes and walked up the stairs quietly. The door to our bedroom was shut. I walked to the door and opened it slowly. I opened it and saw that Regina was asleep. She was watching Mona Lisa Smile on Netflix. I smiled. This was one of her favorite movies. I walked over to the bed and smiled. She looked so peaceful. Not for long. I smirked evilly as an idea popped into my mind. We had just recently gotten an in ground pool put in. It was warm out today. Almost 90. I gently picked Gina up. She didn't stir at all. I walked down the stairs quietly. I walked to the kitchen and to the sliding door. I slid it open lightly and smiled at the warm air. I walked towards the pool and smiled at the brunette, asleep in my arms. I walked to the end that was 10 feet deep. I used all my energy and threw Regina into the pool. "What the hell?!" She screamed as she came back up from the water. She was soaking wet and I was just smiling at her. "Emma!" She screamed. I laughed. I moved closer to the edge and held out my hand. "Let me help you out." I said. She gave me a fake smile. "Thanks." She said sarcastically. Then she grabbed my hand and pulled me in. I fell into the cold water and held my breath. I came back up from the water. "Holy shit." I said. Regina laughed. "Now we're even." She said and kissed my cheek. I rolled my eyes at her and she laughed. I wrapped my arms around her and she kissed my nose lightly. "The water is cold." Regina said. I laughed. "Nah. It feels good." I said. "Yeah." She said then climbed out of the pool. I frowned and then climbed out. "Where are you going?" She said. "I thought we were going inside." I said. She shook her head then flicked her wrist. Then we were both wearing bikinis. Mine was royal blue and hers was white. I smiled at her and she smiled back. I quickly pulled my hair into a messy bun and she pulled hers into a low ponytail. Then we jumped back in the pool together. We just floated around for a while. We'd splash each other, and make jokes and talk. It's fun. Then the kids got home. They walked outside and looked at us. "Moms. What are you doing?" Taylor asked. "Duh, what does it look like we're doing. We're having fun." I said. Regina splashed me. "Ooh ooh I wanna have fun!" Henry said then ran inside. "Come join us." I said and looked at Taylor. She laughed and walked back inside. "So..." I said as I swam over to Regina. It was really sunny out today, so I hoped to at least get some sort of a tan. Regina was naturally tan. Her skin was amazing. "So." Regina said and we swam toward the side of the pool. I smiled at her and she blew me a kiss. We climbed up and out of the pool so we were sitting on the side and only our feet were in the pool. I laid my hand on Regina's tan, bare thigh and she leaned her head on my shoulder. "CANNON BALLLLLL!" We heard Henry scream as he jumped in. Water splashed all over us and we screamed. Henry laughed as he came back up. Regina moved her head back on my shoulder and I leaned my head on her head and put my hand back on her thigh. Then, Taylor jumped in. Taylor didn't come back up though. "Taylor?" I shouted. Then, she grabbed my ankles and pulled me in. "Emma!" Regina said as she fell on the side. I came back up and coughed up water. "Sorry Gina. Our child pulled me in." I said as Regina pouted. I swam over to her and put my arms on her thighs, then leaned my head on my arms. She smiled down at me. "Get back in the waterrrr." I whined. "The water's cold." She said and looked at me. I frowned. "Please?" I said and looked up at her with my puppy dog eyes. She glanced at me, then looked away. "Em, those eyes. Put them away." She said. "No, they get me what I want." I said and smirked, then gave her my puppy eyes again. "Em. No. It's cold." She said. "But it's hot outside." I said. She shook her head. "Ugh." I said. She smacked the back of my head. "Hey!" I said. "Don't 'ugh' me." She said and looked at me. "What are you going to do? Go all Evil Queen? Rip my heart out?" I said and regretted it immediately. She pulled her legs out of the pool and I had to rush to keep my chin from smacking into the edge. She stood up and ran inside. "Shit. Gina!" I said as I swam to the ladder and got out.
*Regina's POV*
Why would Emma say that? Why? She knows how upset I get. "Dammit!" I shouted as I threw a vase against the wall. It shattered and glass went everywhere. I picked up a few big shards and put them in the drawer of my nightstand. Then I flashed myself into a pair of baggy, black sweatpants and a white tank top. I fixed my ponytail and then flashed the vase away. I just noticed how much sun I had gotten. I was pretty sunburnt. We had been out there for 3 hours. I wiped the tears from my eyes and just stared at my reflection in the mirror. My black hair. Tan skin, that was now tinted red. Brown eyes. I don't know what Emma sees in me. I shook my head. "Gina?" I heard Emma say. "Not now." I said as I walked in the bathroom. Emma followed me. She had flashed herself into a white tank top and flannel pajama pants. She wrapped her arms around my waist and I squeezed my eyes shut. "Regina. I'm sorry." She said. "I love you." She said. "Please don't shut me out." She said. "Emma.." I started. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. It was a bitch move. I'm sorry." She said. "It's okay." I said and turned around. We wrapped our arms around each other and hugged each other tightly. "What time is it?" I asked her. "5:15." She said. I nodded. "Wanna order pizza?" I asked. She nodded. "Okay." I said. We walked downstairs and outside to where the kids were. Still in the pool. "Guys, come on in. We're ordering pizza. You're both going to be even more sunburned than your mom and I!" Emma said. They got out of the pool and dried off. Then ran upstairs, I'm guessing to change. I yawned and Emma smiled. "What?" I asked and looked at her. "You're tired." She said in a goofy tone. I laughed and sat down on the couch. She ordered the pizza, then came and sat down beside me. She put her arm around my shoulders and I smiled, then leaned my head on her shoulder. The kids ran back downstairs, wearing their pajamas and sat in the floor. Then, Patches came running out and jumped up on the couch and laid across Emma and I. We laughed and I laid my hand on his back. The kids turned on the tv and began watching a Harry Potter marathon. I wasn't really paying attention. I was just trying to stay awake. The doorbell rang and Henry ran to the door. After 5 minutes he ran back into the living room. "The pizzas are here." he said and ran back into the kitchen. Taylor got up and went into the kitchen. Emma and I laughed and stood up. We walked into the kitchen and laughed at our kids. They each had 2 pieces of pizza on plates and ran back into the living room. I grabbed 2 bottles of water and walked back into the living room. "Here guys." I said and handed them each a bottle. "Thanks mom!" Henry said. I smiled and walked back into the kitchen. Emma had 2 pieces of pizza on her plate. Then, she handed me a plate and smiled. I put one piece on my plate and we walked back into the living room. Emma and I sat on the couch and Henry and Taylor sat in the floor. Patches laid in the floor, in front of the tv and I smiled. I ate and then took my plate back to the kitchen. I set it in the sink, then went upstairs. I sat down on my bed and flopped backwards. "Ugh. I can't believe I ate that. I'm too fat to eat." I said to myself. Then Emma walked in. "Going to bed early?" Emma said and looked at me. I shook my head. "What's wrong?" She said and walked over. I sat up so I could look at her. She kneeled in front of me. "I'm fat." I said, quietly. She shook her head. "You're delirious." She said. "Maybe that's you." I said back. She moved up and kissed me. I cupped her face in my hands and she put her hands on my hips. We pulled away and I smiled. "You always make me feel special." I said. "That's the point." Emma said and smiled. Emma stood up, then pulled me off the bed. I smiled as she wrapped her arms around my waist and I put my arms around her neck. I smiled and leaned my head on her shoulder. "I love you Emma." I said. She smiled and leaned in to kiss me again. We kissed for about 5 minutes then pulled away and stared into each other's eyes. "I love you, Gina." She said with a smile. We walked back downstairs and sat back down on the couch. Patches jumped up on the couch and laid his head on my thigh. I smiled and put my hand on his neck. Emma wrapped her arm around my shoulders and I leaned onto her shoulder. She kissed the top of my head and I smiled. The second Harry Potter movie started playing and we all watched it. Henry took his plate, Emma's plate and Taylor's plate to the kitchen and washed the dishes. He came back and laid down in the floor. I smiled. Then I realized something. Something unusual. "Taylor. Where's Nick?" I asked. He always comes to our house on Friday nights. "I didn't invite him this week. Figured you would want some family time." Taylor said. "Call him and tell him to come over. He's part of the family." I said. Taylor smiled and got up to call her boyfriend. She came back 10 minutes later. "He's babysitting Roland. Said Marian had gone out for a walk or something." She said. I nodded. Then I felt a strange pull in my chest. Emma touched my shoulder and looked at me. I stood up and walked to the kitchen. Emma followed behind me. "Do you feel it too?" Emma asked. I nodded. "What do you think it is?" I asked her. "I don't know. But it started when Taylor said Marian was out for a walk." Emma said. I nodded. "Should we try to find her? Make sure she's okay?" I asked. Emma nodded. We went upstairs and changed. Emma put on a pair of dark skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and her brown leather jacket. I put on a pair of light skinny jeans, a white t shirt and a black leather jacket. Emma put on a pair of black riding boots and I put on a pair of brown riding boots. We both put our phones in our back pockets and walked downstairs. "We'll be back soon guys." Emma said. "Where are you going?" Taylor asked. "There were some suspicions of strange activity. We have to check it out." Emma said. "You're lying." Taylor said and stood up. "Taylor. I can't tell you what we're doing. But, you guys have to stay in the house. Lock the doors and stay inside. Okay? You and Henry stay together until we get back. We have our phones. Call us if anything happens." Emma said in a very serious tone. Fear flashed across both of the kids faces. "Moms... What's going on." Henry said and looked at us. "We can't tell you. Just please. Listen to Emma. Okay? We'll be home soon. We love you both very much." I said. They nodded and hugged us both, tightly. We walked outside the house and the cold air hit us in the face. I guess 90 degrees disappears when it gets dark. Emma closed the front door and locked it. "Emma... What did you see?" I said and turned to Emma. She had to have had a vision or something. I grabbed her hand. She looked me in the eyes. Fear clear in her face. "It's Pan's shadow. We have to go to Nick's house." Emma said. I nodded. "Wait." She said and flipped her hands. Letters telling everyone to stay in their house and lock their doors appeared. There were enough for every person in Storybrooke. Emma and I put spells on them, so they would go directly to the person it was addressed to. All the letters disappeared and we began walking. "Wait. Should we go get weapons from the sheriff station?" Emma asked. I nodded. We quickly ran to the station and ran inside. We locked the doors behind us and walked to the offices. Emma still had her office and all of her sheriff stuff was still in it. We walked in the office. Emma put on the belt and slid a gun in the holster. She put a dagger holster in her boot and slid the dagger in it. She then grabbed an extra belt and tightened it around my waist. She slid a gun in the holster of mine and then handed me a dagger. There was a holster on the belt for it. I slid it into the holster and then looked at Emma. She grabbed hand cuffs and put them in the pouch on her belt. She handed me a can of pepper spray and I hooked it to the belt. She looked at me and then kissed me passionately. "What was that for?" I asked. "In case something happens." She said. I shook my head. "Emma, I'm scared." I admitted quietly. She nodded. "Me too. But, no matter what happens tonight. I will always love you. Okay?" Emma said in a fearful tone. I nodded. "And I will always love you." I said. She smiled weakly. "Let's go figure out what's going on." Emma said. We walked out of the sheriffs station and stopped. Emma locked the doors and then turned around. The town looked deserted. "Good. People are listening this time." Emma said. I nodded. The last time there was a scare in town, no one listened and a lot of people got hurt. Emma grabbed my hand. "Don't be afraid. It'll be okay." She said. I nodded and pushed back the thoughts of fear. Emma and I both built up our walls. That would make it easier to be intimidating, in case we found anybody suspicious. Emma's phone began ringing and she pulled out her iPhone 6. "Queen Emma." She said. There was a long pause. "Dad. We're fine. We've got it under control." Emma said and then paused again. "No. Regina and I have it handled. Stay at home with mom. Keep her safe. Okay? Lock your door and stay inside. Don't let anyone in." Emma said. There was another pause, then a tear rolled down Emma's cheek. I grabbed her hand and she squeezed it. "I love you too dad." Emma said and hung up. She wiped her tears away. Both of our walls had fallen. We quickly rebuilt them. "Okay. Let's go to Nicks house. We have to figure this out." Emma said and I nodded. We ran to his house and knocked on the door. He opened the door and was holding Roland. "Hey. Come inside." He said. We nodded and walked in the house. I locked his door and then turned around to face them. "What's going on?" Nick asked. "Suspicious activity. Where was your mom going?" I said. Nick looked at me and shrugged. "She said she was going for a walk and then left. She was acting really strange. And I'm worried about her now. She didn't come home. And then I got the letter and worried even more." Nick said as he held Roland in his arms. "Bubby, where's mommy?" The small boy said as he woke up. "She'll be home soon, bud." Nick said and Roland went back to sleep. "Please. Find my mom." Nick said. We nodded. "Can you give us something of hers? We're going to do a locator spell so we can find her." He nodded and walked out of the room. He came back with her purple cloak. He handed it to us and Emma poured the potion over the cloak. It started floating. "We'll find her." I said and we left his house. He locked the door behind us. The cloak began floating away and we followed it. It was leading us to the town line. "Shit." Emma whispered. We kept following it. It fell as soon as it touched the town line. Emma ran to the line and I almost screamed. Marian's body was laying on the other side of the line. She didn't look dead. Just knocked out. "Emma what do we do? We can't bring her back over. We don't have the power." I said and looked at Emma. She looked at me. "We have to go over the line. We have to take her to Robin Hood. There's no other choice." Emma said. I nodded. We stepped over the line and looked at Marian. She awoke and looked at us. "What happened?" She said. "We were going to ask you that." I said and looked at her. "Uh, well, this shadow thing appeared in my house and told me to go outside. So, I did and it tried to take me to Neverland. Then, it dropped me and I got knocked out." Marian said. Emma and I looked at each other. "What?" Marian asked. "Wait. Where's Storybrooke?" Marian asked. "Marian... That was Peter Pan's shadow. He dropped you on the other side of the town line." Emma said and looked at her. "So... I can't go back?" She asked. We nodded. Her head fell. "What am I going to do?" She asked. "We're going to take you to Robin Hood. We found one of his arrows and we're going to put a locator spell on it." I said. Marian nodded. We knew she still loved Robin. She stood up and stood beside us. I poured the spell on the arrow and it began floating. We followed it to a small town. We saw a sign that said "Welcome to Kennebunk, Maine." That was about 5 miles away from Storybrooke. The arrow led us to a small pub. The arrow fell to the ground and Emma looked at me. "I've got this one." I said. Emma nodded. It was almost 9 pm. I walked in the pub and felt several sets of eyes on me. I looked around until I found Robin. Sitting alone in a booth. He was zoned out. I walked over to his booth and sat across from him. He glanced up at me. Then he stared at me. "Regina?" He said. I smiled. "What are you doing here?" He said and looked at me. "I brought you someone." I said. He looked at me, with a confused look and I stood up. I held out my hand and he grabbed it. He stood up. He was wearing jeans and a hoodie. We walked outside and it had begun raining. It was just a light drizzle. I looked around. I didn't see Emma or Marian. I began to worry. "Who'd you bring to me love? Yourself?" Robin asked and I shook my head. I pulled out my iPhone 6 and looked to see if I had any texts or calls. I didn't. I unlocked it and dialed Emma's number. "Regina!" Emma screamed when she answered. "Emma, where are you?" I asked. "I don't know! Some guy took me and Marian and when we wouldn't do anything, he left us in the middle of some street." Emma said, fear in her voice. "Emma, calm down. What's around you?" I asked her. "Uh, hold on. Let me see if I can find a sign." Emma said. "There's a street sign that says Linden Road." Emma said. "I'm on my way." I said. "Regina. Please hurry." She said. "I will. I love you." I said. "I love you." She said and hung up. "Do you know where Linden Road is?" I asked. He nodded. "Let's go." I said. "Not so fast. Linden Road is where the gangs meet." Robin said and grabbed my arm. "Then, we need to hurry. That's where Emma got dropped. Some asshole picked her up and tried to rape her." I said. Robin's eyes went wide and nodded. We ran for what seemed like hours. We got to the road and Robin put his arm out in front of me. There were several large men cornering Emma and Marian. "Hey asshole!" I screamed and walked toward him. "Bitch, do you know who I am?" He asked. "Regina. Stop." Emma said and her eyes were wide. One of the men slapped her and I pulled out my gun. Emma still had hers. They hadn't seen them. "Back the fuck off of my wife. Or you all die." I said and aimed the gun at them. "Is that a threat?" A guy asked and took a step towards me. I loaded the gun and put my finger on the trigger. "Yep." I said. I was extremely scared. But, you'd never know, because I had my walls built up. Robin was standing behind me, like a coward. The guys all looked at each other, then at me. It was 10:15. It was pitch dark, except for one street light. One guy moved towards Emma and I shot him. I hit him right in the shoulder. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground. "Who's next?" I said and loaded the gun. "Woah, lady. Take the bitches. We'll leave." A big man said, with a New York accent. I shot him in his leg. "Don't call my wife a bitch." I said. He nodded and fell to the ground in pain. Emma and Marian ran over to us. I put the safety on the gun and removed the extra bullets. I put it in the holster and they both hugged me tightly. "Thank you." Marian said and I nodded. "Marian?" Robin asked. She looked at him and wrapped him in a tight hug. "Marian! I thought I'd never see you again." He said and kissed her. "Wait. Why are you here? You can't get back in Storybrooke now." He said and held her. "Peter Pan's shadow dropped me outside of the town limits. So I can't get back. And Emma and Regina told me they could bring me to you." She said. He smiled. "I love you Marian." He said. she smiled. "Oh, Robin. I love you too." She said. They both cried tears of joy. "Thank you both." Robin said and smiled at us. "You're welcome. Everyone deserves a happy ending." I said. "But, where are Nicholas and Roland?" Robin asked. "They're still in Storybrooke. They should stay there. I don't want them to lose their friends. Or Taylor." Marian said. Robin nodded then looked at Emma and I. "Take care of my boys. Please." He said. We nodded. "Of course." I said. We all hugged. "Now, you have to get back and sort out Pan's shadow." Marian said. We nodded and we all walked together until we found the Storybrooke line. "Goodbye Regina. Goodbye Emma. Thank you. So much." Marian said with a smile. We smiled and hugged her one last time. Then we hugged Robin. He put his arm around Marian and Emma and I stepped over the line, holding hands. They couldn't see the line. And after we crossed over it, they couldn't see us. Emma and I turned around and saw Marian and Robin kissing. We smiled. Then they walked away. Back to Kennebunk. "Emma. Are you okay?" I said as I grabbed her hand. She nodded then kissed me. I smiled. "Guess we have to find Peter Pan's shadow." Emma said. I nodded. It was almost eleven o'clock now. Emma pulled out a lighter and lit a candle. She had the coconut that we would use to trap the shadow. She handed it to me. I held it and we waited for the shadow to appear. It came towards us and it circled around us. Emma blew out her candle and threw me her lighter. I caught it and tried to light the candle in the trap. But it wouldn't light. "Regina! Hurry!" Emma screamed as the shadow picked her up, then dropped her. She howled in pain. "It won't light!" I shouted. "Keep trying." She said. I continued to try and light the candle. Emma screamed and I turned around to see that the shadow had taken Emma's soul out of her body. "No!" I screamed. I finally got the candle lit and Pan's shadow was sucked into the trap and I quickly closed it. Emma's soul was reunited with her body. She slowly stood up and came over to me. She tied the trap shut. We carried it over the town line and set it down. Emma lit a match on fire and threw it on the coconut. It blew up and a puff of black smoke appeared, then disappeared with a squeal. Peter Pan's shadow was now gone for good. "I told you everything would be okay." Emma said. "Shut up. You almost got raped, and you almost got killed, twice. Okay?" I said. Emma frowned. "Oh, just kiss me already." I said and Emma laughed. Then kissed me. Our arms wrapped around each other. We pulled apart and smiled. Emma sent out letters that said everyone could return to their normal lives tomorrow morning. Emma and I walked to find Nick. We didn't know how we would tell him. But, we had to figure it out. It was now 12:45. We got to his house and rang the doorbell. He came down 10 minutes later. "Come in." He said and moved aside. We walked in. "Did you find my mom?" He asked. We looked at each other. "What is it?" He asked. "Nick. Peter Pan's shadow returned. It tried to take your mother to Neverland. But, it dropped her. She fell outside of the town line." Emma said. "Wh...what?" He asked. "We found your father and took her to him. They're living in Kennebunk, Maine. They want you and Roland to stay here. They don't want you guys to lose your friends." I said. He sat down on the bottom stair. "Bubby?" Roland said and came down the stairs. "Hey, bud. Come here." Nick said and Roland sat beside him. Nick put his arm around him, then looked at me. "So, what are we supposed to do?" Nick said and looked at us. "Your mom left us in charge of you." Emma said. Nick nodded. "Are we going to live here by ourselves or are we going to move in with you guys?" Nick asked. "That's up to you. Okay?" I asked. He nodded and we looked at Roland. "Hey, bud. How does being a prince sound?" I asked Roland as I kneeled in front of him. "Cool!" He shouted. We all laughed. "Bubby, imma be a prince!" Roland said. Nick nodded. "Do you want to come with us Roland?" Emma asked. He nodded. "Why don't you come too Nick." I said. He nodded. "Go pack some bags. We'll wait down here for you guys." Emma said. They ran upstairs and Emma and I sat down on the couch. The two boys came running down the stairs a half hour later. It was 1:45 am. They both had 3 bags. We smiled and walked outside. My car was in front of their house. We put their bags in the car and Roland ran over to me to pick him up. I picked him up and rested him on my hip, with my arms around him. He smiled and wrapped his small arms around my neck. Emma kissed the side of my head. Nick got in the back seat and Roland sat on my lap. Emma drove. It took about 15 minutes to get home. Putting us at 2 am. We got out and Nick got his bags. I picked Roland up. He was only 4. Emma got his bags out of the trunk and carried them inside we all walked in the front door. Henry and Taylor ran in the foyer and hugged us. "Moms! Is everything okay?" Henry asked. We nodded. "Everything's fixed." Emma said and hugged him. "Nick? Why are you and Roland here? With suitcases...?" Taylor asked. "Uh, Nick and Roland are staying with us tonight." Emma said. "I'm gonna be a prince!" Roland said. Taylor scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. "Uh, Nick, let me show you to your room. You can unpack." I said. He nodded. He got the guest room, upstairs, beside Henry's room. Henry's room was in between Nick and Taylor's room. Nick began unpacking his stuff. Emma told Taylor and Henry what had happened with Marian. They understood and were excited that Nick and Roland would be living with us. "But, wait. What did Roland mean, he was going to be a prince?" Taylor asked. "Your mom and I are going to adopt him." I said. Taylor smiled. "So, Roland is going to be our brother?" Henry asked. I nodded. "Cool." He said. "But, wait. You aren't going to adopt Nick are you?" Taylor asked. We shook our heads. "We're just going to be his legal guardians." Emma said. "Good." Taylor said. We laughed. Taylor and Henry went upstairs, so now it was just Emma, Roland and I. "Gina. Are you going to be my new mommy?" Roland asked. I kneeled down to his eye level and smiled. I nodded. "Who's my daddy going to be?" He asked. I looked at him. "You're going to have two mommies." I said. He looked at me. I picked him up and rested him on my hip. "Emma is my wife. She's going to be your other mommy." I said with a smile and looked at him. He smiled. "So, I have 2 mommies?" He asked. Emma and I nodded. "Hi bud." Emma said. He smiled at her and held his arms out to her. I handed him to Emma and she held him. I smiled. "Roland, do you wanna go see your room?" I asked him. He nodded and the three of us walked up the stairs. I carried his bags upstairs. He would get Henry's old room. It still had all of Henry's old toys in it. And Henry's old bed. But, before we went in, I flipped my hands and his room was transformed. The walls were painted blue. There was a blue twin bed. There were trucks and cars and any kind of toy Roland would want. There was a dream catcher hanging from his window. There was a small bow and a set of arrows in a quiver, laying on top of his dresser. There were stuffed animals on the small bed. There were glow in the dark stars and constellations painted all over the ceiling. I had used magic on them so they would never lose their glow and they would always glow bright. He walked in. "Cool! Look at the stars mommy!" He yelled. The ceiling had been painted black so they would stand out. Emma smiled at me and held my hand. I smiled at the young boy. We unpacked all of his clothes and put them in his dresser. "Okay bud. It's really late. So, why don't you get changed into your pajamas and go to bed. Okay?" I said as I walked over to his tv and turned it on. "Can I watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates? Please mommy?" He said. I looked at Emma. I nodded and changed it to Disney Junior. If only the writers knew how shitty Peter Pan was. "Mommy, if Peter Pan is a bad guy, why is he good on there?" Roland asked. I smiled at him calling me mommy. "I don't know bud." I said. Doc McStuffins was on now and he watched it. After Emma helped him into his pajamas, we tucked him in. "Night bud. We love you." I said and kissed his forehead. Emma leaned down and kissed his cheek. "Love you buddy." Emma said. "I love you mommies." He said. We walked out. I turned on the small night light and smiled at the boy. I left the door opened a crack. Emma and I went to our room and put our pajamas back on. It was almost 3 am. We laid down and Emma wrapped her arms around me. I smiled and snuggled close to her. We fell asleep. But, we were woken up 2 hours later. "Mommy." Roland said. I sat up and turned on the lamp. Emma sat up. "What's wrong buddy?" Emma asked. "I had a bad dream." Roland said. He had been crying. He was holding a stuffed koala bear. "Come on bud. You can sleep with us." I said. "Really?" He asked. Emma and I nodded. He ran over and jumped up into the bed. He crawled between Emma and I. We smiled and he got under the covers. We both wrapped our arms around the boy and he smiled at us. "I love you mommies." he said. "We love you too Ro." Emma said and kissed his forehead. Then laid a hand on my arm. I smiled at her. Then, he fell asleep. "I love you Gina." Emma whispered, careful not to wake up the small boy between us. "I love you, Em." I said and smiled at her. We fell asleep shortly after.
