Snow groaned quietly, why did Emma have to be a toddler today of all days? Today was the day she was due in court to male her divorce from James final. She was dreading it enough and Emma had picked up on that anxiety and so, she awoke to Emma in her bed, curled in a ball, her thumb in her mouth and the bed wet. Boy was she glad she'd bought plastic sheets to save the mattresses on both her and Emma's beds. While she changed the fussy toddler, ignoring Emma's complaints, she phoned Red. But she wanted to come with Snow, and honestly, Snow wanted the support from her friend, but she could hardly bring Emma with her so... what could she do?
"Hey Emma, do you wanna spend the day with Regina huh?" She asked, dialing the woman's number. Regina answered on the second ring.
"Yes Snow?" Snow sighed in relief before starting to speak.
"I really have to go out today and I can't take Emma with me, Red has to come with me and Emma's having a toddler day and there's no-one to take care of her, think you can babysit?" Regina blinked a few times as her brain slowly processed the garbled rush of Snow's speech.
"Oh... are... are you sure there's no-one else?" She couldn't help but ask. She could deal with Teen Emma and has spent a few days under supervision with child Emma but a day alone with Toddler Emma. The thought completely terrified her.
"No, No-one... I wouldn't ask otherwise. Please Regina?" She was near begging now as she secured Emma in the highchair and started making her up some warm cornflakes, since Emma seemed to prefer that to Weetabix. Regina sighed, screwing her eye's shut before opening them again.
"Alright. I'll be there soon." Snow beamed brightly and thanked her till one of them hung up.
When Regina did arrive, Snow was still trying to feed Emma, who had her mouth clamped shut tightly and was shaking her head in protest. Snow took a moment away from the struggle to let Regina in, smiling sadly.
"Come on in... Emma's... resisting breakfast." She says with the barest hint of humour in her voice. Regina nodded and followed Snow into the apartment, watching as she fought with the fussy girl about the breakfast. Snow tried everything, silly noises, distraction techniques, anything and everything she could think of, but still Emma wouldn't eat. There was a knock on the door and Snow groaned, handing the bowl over to Regina.
"Can you try? That'll be Red. I really have to go." Regina looked shocked, but Snow was gone before she could complain, leaving the Queen with a near screaming Emma and a bowl of mushed up cornflakes. Regina sighed and took the seat Snow had been occupying, scooping up a tiny portion of the cereal and smiling at Emma.
"Hey Emma, look. Food... will you eat for Regina?" She asked as Emma eyed the spoon, opening her mouth to slowly say.
"'Gina." Regina beamed brightly and nodded.
"That's right Emma, I'm 'Gina. Will you eat for 'Gina?" She asked, holding the spoon up again. Emma eyed it once more before opening her mouth for the food, accepting it and eating it easily, thankfully not complaining for the rest of the bowl. Regina sighed in relief before glancing at Emma in the Highchair.
"Now how are we gonna get you out of there, huh?" She asked quietly. Emma reached up for Regina, making grabby hands at her.
"Up! Up!" She demanded. Regina sighed. She could do this, she was a Queen, she had Magic for heavens sake, if Snow could do it, so could she. She bent, gently lifting Emma, making sure her hand supported Emma's rear as she nestled Emma onto her hip. Emma beamed brightly and giggled
"Gina! 'Gina dance!" She demanded and Regina rolled her eyes, turning on the stereo and starting to dance before having an idea, setting Emma down gently, holding her hands so she's supported and dancing with her. Emma seemed beyond happy with this course of action, laughing and giggling, tripping on her own feet more than once, but not caring.
Regina was quickly beginning to see why everyone was so taken with child Emma. She was radiant and playful and happier than Regina's ever seen her. Once again Emma tripped on her own feet, but this time Regina wasn't quite able to catch her and Emma went sprawling down on the carpet, waiting for a moment before starting to bawl loudly. Regina bent and scooped the girl up quickly, humming to her quietly as she checked her over.
"Hey. Hey Emma, c'mon, stop crying." Regina pulled a funny face, thankfully catching the toddlers attention. Continuing on with the funny faces, Regina got Emma laughing quickly and she sighed in relief, encouraging Emma to pull some faces of her own, grabbing Snow's camera and starting to snap pictures. Once Emma realised what was happening, she started pulling even sillier faces, clearly playing up to the camera. Regina giggled and continued snapping pictures.
When Snow got home that evening, tired, both physically and emotionally, but thankful that the divorce was over and done with, she found Regina and Emma tangled together on her rug, sleeping peacefully. She smiled softly and draped a blanket over the both of them, shifting them to place a pillow under their heads and kissing the side of Emma's head gently.
"Sweet dreams."
