Chapter Text
Emma was exhausted when she heard music playing loudly. The morning sun was peeking through the windows when she headed down. Sasha was the actual first person to be up, and she wasn’t alone. The smallest family member was up as well. Henry was in his carrier, quietly sucking on his new pacifier. Em made it to where they were, which was the kitchen. She greeted them both. Henry, hearing his mother's greeting, smiled and let the Pacifier drop from his mouth as he watched her make her way further into the Kitchen.
“Hey bud, good morning”
Em smiled, while picking him up.
“You having fun with Grandma?”
Sasha’s heart swelled at seeing her youngest with her own. In a instant, there was a commotion and Emma’s brothers were walking downstairs. Owen, being the second oldest, raced them over to the kitchen and greeted their mother and sister first. August and Graham told him that he had cheated again. Both other brothers greeted their mother and sister before greeting their nephew. Em was in the fridge grabbing fruits and a cold bottle of pumped breast milk her mother handed her a pot and said microwaves would make it too hot too quickly.
“ Ma !!! “
Sasha raised a brow.
“ Never mind”
Emma did what was told and waited for the boiling water. Suddenly the front door opened and their Father Chris came walking in with Bags. August met his father half way and grabbed the rest of the bags while his father went to kiss his wife. Henry’s milk was warm enough, and Emma went to grab it. Seeing his grandson, Chris greeted his daughter and then went over to greet him. Henry squealed and gave his grand-pa a gummy smile as the older gentleman slowly picked him up and went over to his daughter to grab the bottle.
“Ready for breakfast?”
Henry quickly latched onto the nipple and started sucking. Cora was the first from her side of her family to be up and happened to walk down. Owen and Graham watched the older brunette look around before attempting to greet all of them. August made note that it looked like it killed her to speak. Zelena was down and greeted her mother and the other family occupying the house. Robin followed by Regina also made it for Breakfast. Robin was calling someone which meant Regina Had to walk into the family Kitchen by herself.
“ Good morning “
Henry stopped and looked for her voice.
“ Finished already?, let’s get out a burp”
Chris moved his grandson and positioned him for His burp. Emma made it over and decided to do it so her father could go about doing his business. Henry was over on his mother's shoulder, the little Tuff’s of hair sticking up. He drooled a little. Emma and Henry disappeared into one of the Family rooms. Regina excused herself and said she needed to take a call and would be back to eat, too. Emma’s back was turned towards the door and she didn’t hear Regina walk into the room. The Blonde was currently admiring her adorable son.
“Oh Squish, you are so loved, little man.
I cannot wait to take to all the places I
was taken too as a kid...I want you to
Grow up and know what love is...the same
I was shown”
Regina walked closer.
“He’s grown a lot since I saw him”
Emma turned, not saying anything to her.
“Yeah he has. He has an appointment.
once we get, back home...he’s been eating
a lot more and I wondered if it was cause he’s
Growing...Why are you in here Regina?”
That tone Emma used had stung a little.
“ I apologize, Emma for what Robin said.
You are not, nobody, you are Henry’s mother...
an amazing artist..and an amazing person
I normally don’t say sorry..it’s not in a Mills
to do that..but I miss seeing you and Mr. Handsome”
Emma wasn’t saying much. She was confused right now. Henry made a noise and yawned. He was fighting his sleep while the two adults talked. Regina wasn’t sure what to do before she could say anything else. Robin was yelling out her name. Excusing herself, the brunette left Emma to think some. Everyone was grabbing a plate when Emma joined them. She had put Henry up to sleep. Breakfast wasn’t all bad Robin said he talked to his family and they would meet up with them After Christmas so he could see them. Christmas was in four days.
“ Let’s go into town”
Owen yelled out.
The siblings wanted to go into town to show off to Henry. Chris, along with Sasha, agreed on it and went to go get dressed. Emma did the samething. Zelena overheard and wanting to piss off her mother asked the brothers if they could join too. Regina was changed and was not going to wait on Robin. Cora declined and stayed along with Robin so it was just the sisters who were going Only. Regina dressed in warm clothes Emma had Henry bundled up as well. He was in a baby Snow Suit It made the women swoon a little.
“ Everyone ready to go?”
Owen yelled out.
The small group was ready. Emma had put Henry in a carrier. August with his little sister and nephew while Zelena and Regina sat next to each other. Everyone was already out of the car while big brother Owen went to go find a good parking spot. Henry had woken up right as his mother pulled his hat back. Emma was given a big gummy yawn, which made her smile and hand August his carrier. The littlest member of the family decided before they could explore that he needed a diaper Change Em grabbed his bag before she could Regina touched her shoulder.
“ I can do it”
Emma looked and didn’t budge.
“It’s fine, Regina. I’ve got it”
Em disappeared, carrying her son.
When Robin said they were nobody important, it did something. Emma’s mind was going back to high school. She hadn’t felt this way in a very long time. One thing was for sure: she was going to make sure Henry would never, ever feel like that. The boy was changed and ready to go Em looked down at him. They both joined the group. August met them halfway and reached over for his nephew. Regina was walking with Zelena when she turned her head and looked back to see Henry Enjoying time with his Uncle.
“She’s just upset, Do not worry sis.
He is a cute Kid, and his mother ain’t
too bad either...good Choice”
Regina looked surprised.
“ Oh Please, it’s the way you.
Keep looking, Question is why is...
The sexiest human being in the world
Upset with you?”
Regina groaned.
“ I haven’t a clue”
Zelena’s brow quirked.
“ You do know”
The Other Siblings were walking together and admiring the stores. August was still holding his Nephew still all while walking with his little sister. Emma was quiet and just kept looking up since they were walking behind both Mills sisters now. Graham saw a clothes store and called out saying he was going in. Owen followed him and, along with August, Emma didn’t go and stayed behind. Henry ended up with his uncles in the store Zelena with a smirk pulled her sister into said store As well, leaving the young Swan with her thoughts.
It was twenty minutes later they came out. The brothers had bags. Owen was holding Henry this time. He kissed his head and headed over to Emma. The blonde reached over and took her adorable son from him. Henry was starting to get Hungry. One of her brothers grabbed the bag and brought out some milk. it needed to be warmed up and so Graham, being who he is, put it under his arm. Mr. Squish became a little impatient. Thankfully, it wasn’t too long before Emma was given the Bottle and the rubber nipple placed his mouth and he grunted.
“ I’m sorry bud, you were hungry”
Regina watched. Her breasts were aching.
A record was set. Henry had finished his bottle a little too fast. Emma had him over her shoulder and was patting his back when he belched loud. his eyes were definitely changing content for now Henry was put right back in his snowsuit. They did a little more shopping before August said He was Hungry. The Adults decided on grabbing a quick meal since they would be eating at home. Eventually they made it home. Zelena was the first this time to get out of the car followed by August, who was walking side by side. The other brothers followed suit while Emma went to get Henry out Regina waited and decided she needed to talk to Emma.
“ Emma”
The blonde turned her head.
With a hopeful look, the blonde waited for Regina to say something. No other words were said and the younger blonde sighed and headed inside as well. Sasha greeted her daughter and took her adorable grandson so he could get out of his outfit. Regina came inside right after Robin smiled and walked over to her. Cora came back down and was relieved that both of her girls had come back Safely. it was two days until Christmas and Chris had gotten a tree and asked his kids if anyone Of Them were going to get the decorations down.
“I’ll do it”
Emma and Owen raced towards where the Christmas stuff was kept. it took a few moments before the others could hear things jingling and footsteps. Emma dropped down a few boxes, which made Henry jump a little, which made him cry too. Chris went over and picked up his grandson and began to rock him. Sasha handed her husband a Pacifier and Henry was content sucking on his binky. The large tree in the large living room had a few things on it already but Emma said it was missing a few more things and she also grabbed an ornament meant for Henry as this was his first Christmas ever.
“Alright Squish, this is my ornament.
it is my first one, one that was given to me
by your’e grandparents over there...and as tradition
goes I have one for you that is going up on the tree”
Henry looked at her, while enjoying his pacifier.
Regina had quietly followed the blonde and her baby into said area. Robin wasn’t far behind and came up behind her to wrap both arms around her waist. Em, hearing the gasp looked over and saw Regina being pulled by Robin. He was smirking. Henry grunted, which made Emma think he kind of understood her. August ended up catching up with his sister and nephew in the living room. He smiled. Emma had Henry in his bassinet that was gently rocking him. Emma couldn’t stop staring at her 2-month-old Son.
“It’s okay Em, whoever is my nephew.
Mom, we will, find out who and where she is..
You aren’t your parents, Em...”
Emma just sighed.
“I know that, Auggie I just feel like.
I’m gonna fail, him or disappoint him..
at some point and I don’t want to fail my
Son...I want Henry to have what I had when
Mom and dad brought me home”
August smirked and hugged his little sis.
“He will Em”
The countdown for Christmas was officially sped up. Christmas would be here in 24 hours and the Ski lodge announced its allowing Skiers for a day. August suggested that as a family and guests, they should all go for a day since it’s Colorado. This time, Cora agreed and went upstairs to change. Robin being who was complaining the whole time, had finally came down after Regina was down. Zelena rolled her eyes and was dressed in her new snow outfit over her shoulder she looked At her sister and saw Regina wasn’t paying attention to her boyfriend but rather The Tall blonde who was making sure her son’s head was covered.
“ I know Squish, I know we don’t.
Like Clothes yet, but we can’t be naked..
out in the cold...it’s okay”
The snow-suit Henry had on had him covered very well. Grandma Sasha heard the commotion and went over to hold her grandson while Em finished up. a Twelve passenger van pulled up and Cora was the first to climb in, followed by her girls. Emma followed not long after and went to the very last seat. Henry yawned but was still upset with having to wear warm Clothes Zelena Climbed after them. Regina followed suit along with Robin while Owen got the back and went to sit with his Sister. Their parents got in last and they sat a row infront of Emma.
“ Alright people, we are off”
They made it to the resort, and Zelena was the first one out. Chris and Sasha were second to get out, along with the other’s Emma and Henry were the last. The big kids went to grab gear while the parents stayed behind. Henry was one of them. Emma zipped up her ski outfit and happened to see Regina. Zelena had been dressed in hers and was ready for one of the brothers to help down the Hill. Emma was geared up and the first one down the Slopes down the hill her parents were Holding Henry who was keeping an eye on his mother.
Everyone was having a good time Zelena asked Cora to join. Meanwhile, Regina had changed into her gear as well but was moving slow. There was a reason. Engorged was an understatement, not pumping and feeding Henry had taken its Toll. Robin noticed she was acting weird and decided to ignore it. Sasha saw the way the brunette was acting and wanted to talk to her and so Chris held Henry. feeling a presence behind her, so Regina turned around to see Emma’s mom standing behind her. She smiled and stepped aside.
“ I’ve been, you before”
Regina looked confused.
“ being engorged, is no fun trust.
I had it when I was, pregnant with my son
Owen..since he was only Bio-Child it was something
to experience and i felt not like myself...have you
Had the Chance to feed him?”
Regina looked over, at Henry with a sad look.
“ Emma’s been, avoiding me so I have.
not pushed to, to be around him...apparently
Robin addressed her and Henry as if they weren’t
important...I know me and Emma aren’t together...
But we have an agreement that i hope stays in place
at least until..Henry is older”
Sasha looked at Regina, and then her grown Children.
Papa Chris was trying to soothe Henry right now. said smaller brunette and family member was becoming restless and Emma knew what that only meant. August reached into his nephew’s bag and saw that it only contained one bottle as of now. Emma knew she should have packed one more. Sasha giving her daughter a look and then at Regina. The blonde sighed and walked over to the brunette. Regina jumped a little when she heard her name being called by said taller blonde Emma’s face was wind burned but she had a nervousness to herself.
“ Umm..Listen Regina, I know I’ve been.
I know I’ve been an ass, and I want to apologize
for that...I am not that person but when we get back
I would like for us to at least talk...for Squish’s sake”
Regina’ eyes remained, forward
“ I’ll see, Miss Swan”
Emma just nodded and walked back over towards Henry. Chris handed off his grandson back to his mother. Henry squealed as his mom took him. They ended up going for CoaCoa Zelena. was of course of sitting next to all three of the brothers. Cora ended up sitting in between both Regina and Robin. Emma and her family were trying to come up with Ideas considering it would be X- Mas. Technically, it was Christmas Eve but still Emma was used to it being just them, especially during The Holidays, but now it wasn’t just them Mr. Squish was involved and so was Regina’s family.
“ Is everyone ready?”
Graham asked as he was driving back.
This time, everyone switched up who they were riding with. Owen didn’t sit up front he was with Zelena, who at the moment was snuggled up to him. Cora was with Sasha and Robin was siting with Chris, who started up a very long conservation. Emma, of course, had Henry and Regina both all in the back. a large yawn was drawn from the youngest. He showed off his gums before falling asleep. They made it back to the house and of course Robin was quick to get out and wait for Regina, Who at the moment did not feel like talking to him.
“ Robin not now, I have something I.
need to do okay, I promise We will talk..
Later but for now how about you call one of
your friends”
The brunette dismissed him and went inside.
“ Alright Mr. Squish, was that a good nap?
I bet you are hungry, well..guess what Grandma
Sasha just went off on me..and said I was being stubborn
and that I should talk to Regina. She is your food source for
Now and I am sorry for now having more than one bottle ready
For you today”
The smaller brunette, of course didn’t understand.
“ Excuse me Emma”
She turned, and there stood Regina in the doorway.
Em ushered the beautiful brunette into her room. Regina watched Emma close the door behind her, but not before she looked around and locked it. Henry, hearing the familiar voice, became squirmy and so his mother took him out the Carrier. Regina melted when She felt the Weight of Henry. The smaller brunette grunted and Regina could feel herself start to leak from both of her breasts. Not long after the two were situated comfortably while Emma went to change and Henry was Introduced back to his favorite meal being without the real stuff had him going in a little more aggressively She definitely missed his grunts whenever the milk hit his gums Regina winced a little since she was engorged but Sasha told her it Would be worth it once she got the relief.
“ Okay listen Regina, back what I said
earlier i want to say, I’m sorry..for being someone
That I’m usually not, but what your boyfriend said it..
it got to me and I want to make sure Henry never feels like
He’s a nobody or that no one wanted him”
They both listened to Henry taking in Milk.
“ First off Swan, I accept your apology for now.
but what Robin, said is not how I feel about Henry
I’m sorry you felt..that way it wasn’t my intentions and
Robin doesn’t speak for me..listen We have been doing this
for two and half months almost 3 I’ve only known you by what
Other’s have said about your reputation..but from what I can see
They don’t know you for Henry’’s sake..Can we go back to what we
Both agreed to?”
Emma nodded and watched her son get his meal. Regina’s phone chirped, which meant she got a text checking it she let out a sigh. With an unsatisfied grunt, Henry was detached from the brunette’s breast and handed over to his blonde mother. Regina showed Emma the text it was from Robin. the eye roll from Emma did not go, unnoticed which made Regina look over at her. redressed, the brunette left the blonde and her adorable son meeting Robin half way looking down. Em could see her little man was not satisfied.
“ I’m sorry Squish, She’ll make it up.
to you when we go, back home in a few
days in the mean time...it’s bed time because
Guess what? Santa’s coming to see you!!! “
Henry squealed when Emma raised him up.
~~~~~ Christmas Morning ~~~~~~~~~
Emma brothers were the first to wake everyone up. Em groaned and rolled over and looked at her bassinet where her two-month-old slept. August rushed into the room and jumped on the bed, making the blonde throw two pillows at his face. August dogged them both and then picked up Henry. The smallest family member was also officially two months and growing like a big boy. Henry made a noise much like his mother before snuggling up under his Uncle’s Chin. Emma smiled Not soon after her phone got a text.
Wondering if it, who it was Em opened it.
Natasha : to Em * Merry Christmas *
The beautiful woman had sent Em a X-rated Christmas text.
“Two can play that game. “
Emma opened her pajama pants and snapped a picture. It wasn’t a few seconds letter that Natasha was face-timing Emma back with a moan. Meanwhile, Regina had woken up. Her people weren’t morning people, so she had time to really relax. Wanting to feed Henry for breakfast she went to Emma. hearing the laughter, it made the brunette stop mid-way and knock before walking in. Emma sprang out the bed and grabbed her pants, throwing them on She met the beautiful brunette Half way out of breath.
“ Good morning, Regina Merry Christmas.
Is there a reason, You were coming into my
Room?”
Regina could hear, a woman Clear her throat.
“ Good morning Swan, and there was a reason.
I was coming to get, Henry and let him have his
Meal a little early since my mother and Robin aren’t
Up just yet...but I see he’s not here”
Emma felt awkward and cleared her throat.
“Uh..yeah August, came and took him earlier.
He should be in the, Kitchen with my folks...
I’m pretty sure he will still be excited to know
That he’s getting his Christmas breakfast...I’m on
The phone right now but I’ll meet you down there”
Regina just nodded and left.
Downstairs, Regina was greeted by Emma’s mother and Father. Owen and Graham were in the bigger living room, trying to figure out which gifts go where. August was holding Henry when Said brunette said hello and Henry knew it was Regina. Immediately on que he let out a whine and August let him go. Henry let out a whimper and began rooting for his Christmas breakfast as Regina walked away. it wasn’t long before Zelena and her mother came down from their part of the house. Zelena smiled and greeted everyone. Cora wondered where her daughter was. Apparently Robin had a quick meeting.
Emma ran down and greeted everybody.
“ MERRY CHRISTMAS !!! “
Regina came back after feeding Henry his Christmas Breakfast. Emma was handed her adorable son, who was then taken by his uncle’s once again. She laughed. Robin came down and joined them, and went over to Regina’s side and stood there. Everyone was handed their gifts that included The Mills Family. Zelena gasped at the necklace she was given and thanked the family. Robin received a cigar box. And Cora was given a mink coat, surprised she still didn’t thank anyone but dismissed herself and the last to receive anything was Regina. She got a golden heart inside but Emma told her to Open it in private.
“ Umm..Thankyou, everyone truly”
Henry grew impatient.
“ Alright Squish, let’s open up your’s.
And see what Santa brought you for
Your First Christmas “
Henry had gotten everything a two-month-old baby could want. Owen had gotten his nephew a Jersey for baseball that he will eventually have to grown into later. Graham bought him a hiking outfit for when he could take his nephew on hikes. August, of course, had bought a few storybooks to read to him. Grandma and Grandpa bought him all the clothes he could ask for. Emma went to go change him. it was few seconds but the two Swans came back and Henry was wearing a Brown Bear outfit fully equipped with ears. He let out a yawn.
“ Oh he is, too adorable right now”
Henry let out another yawn. This time Owen took him from Em. Christmas music played in the background while the siblings tried to put Henry’s new toys together. Zelena couldn’t help but watch while Robin asked Regina to join him upstairs. Cora gave her daughter a look, and the brunette went upstairs. Graham noticed his little sister watching the brunette go up with Henry’s squeal, made Emma look at him. It was about twenty minutes before Regina came back, but she look uncomfortable. Emma noticed her wince when she went to sit down.
“ I don’t know, about you all but.
we are going out, and playing with our
New toys...Hey Em ya coming with our nephew?”
Emma nodded and went up to change clothes.
Outside, Emma joined her brothers in making snowman- people. Meanwhile, inside Henry was protesting being the only one inside but unfortunately it was too Cold. Zelena decided she wanted to hold Henry and asked his grandma if she could. Henry’s soft brown eyes stared back at her in return she smirked. Cora came into view and did nothing to acknowledge the baby. She looked at him and walked away. Regina was up in her bedroom and looked outside at the siblings before her phone got a text. She looked and saw it was from Zelena.
Zelena { to Regina } : “ Meet up in the second room”
Regina knew where she was going and found her sister, Zelena. Said sister wasn’t alone. Henry was with her. He was looking around the best he could at two months old. Zee handed the smaller brunette to her sister and said to take all the time. Henry made a grunting noise, which only meant one thing now. This would be his second feeding and Regina didn’t care as long as she wasn’t engorged again. That hurt. She noticed something about this feeding besides the obvious little grunts Henry started scrunching his little face as he ate his favorite meal.
“ We are back to Cluster feeding again”
it only meant he was having a growth spurt.
Zelena came back an hour later and left with a content full Henry. even though she didn’t say it, she knew that Henry was her unofficial Nephew She and Regina would talk. Emma and the others got cold and were back inside drinking hot coffee. Everyone was having a good time when Cora had came to Regina. brow raised Emma and Zelena wondered what was happening but got distracted because of her brothers. Cora wanted to discuss the fact that she was moving the family company from Chicago to New York, which shocked the brunette.
“ Are you not, happy my daughter I mean.
Robin suggested it, and said it would give you...
a do over considering how you lost both Daniel and
Then your son...He said that you’ve both have had some
Set backs “
Regina scoffed and walked back and forth.
“ Wow..I mean..wow, the Audacity of you both.
Discussing what’s best for me..Mother, I know..
you think you know what’s best but you don’t and
as for Robin he has no right to discuss anything about
My Unborn son or Daniel..Before we go home..today is
Christmas and Emma’s family have been amazing hosts
I’m not going to ruin this for them..but I will be talking to
Robin...Excuse me”
Emma’s family had a favorite family Christmas Tradition. One of the four siblings would choose a movie to watch while Christmas dinner was cooking in the oven. Owen Chose last year’s film and so this time it was Emma’s turn to Choose One. Em Chose Jack Frost and so everyone then picked spots. Zelena was with Owen, and the other two brothers sat together. Chris and Sasha had the other couch as well. Cora was with Robin since Regina decided she would snuggle up on a blow Up Couch with Emma and Mr. Squish.
“Dinner will be ready in an hour”
Sasha said out loud.
The movie had concluded, and Regina was holding Henry. Dinner was served promptly and out the Corner of her eye Emma saw her brother follow Zelena upstairs. Graham smirked and nudged August to come help him clean up all the dishes. Meanwhile, Emma had already cleaned up the movie stuff. Regina was giving Henry his last feeding because apparently they were all leaving to go home in the Am. Henry was being fed a little longer because there was no telling when Either him Or his blonde mother would see Regina Emma was considering going full bottle to limit the hassle.
Henry’s first Christmas was exactly how Emma pictured it. Before The Mills crew left, Emma heard the argument between Regina and Robin. It sounded a little intense. big sister Zelena was excited that Regina was finally letting Robin go officially. Cora said nothing at first, but she was mad at Regina now. Locksley and Associates had been partners of theirs for years and she hoped it would remain in the family. They were supposed to leave together but Robin left before the sun came up And Cora had a private Car pick her up which only left Zelena and Regina at the house.
“ Now’s your Chance Em”
Her brother, August said.
“Umm..Hey Regina, can we talk?”
Regina looked surprised and was packing her bag.
“Can we talk, when you are back.
I just need some space for a day or so
Call me..when you guys make it home”
Emma Just nodded.
“ Yeah, see you when we are back”
