"You really should know better then to go about and say those types of things Miss,Swan. It’s the reason why you have gotten yourself in this mess isn’t it? Honestly, and here I thought your intelligence couldn’t sink any lower. Clearly I was wrong." Regina twisted her lips into a frown as she let Miss.Swan’s tongue fall towards the ground. "Now why don’t you go fetch?" She mocked. She couldn’t help it, she had tried not to use her magic. But Miss.Swan had no right to say any of those hateful things to her. No doubt to make her look like a fool. "Perhaps if you were a bit nicer to me, I would consider putting your tongue back where it belongs. Unless of course you wanted to try to use this magic of yours for yourself. Go ahead and try. Dazzle me with this suppose magic of yours."

it took everything she had not to rush at Regina and just try to rip her to pieces with her own bare hands. She had done a lot worse to others but never Regina; she was coming close to it right now.

Threats were going through her mind but that would make her no better than the woman before her. Emma was certain everything she said was the truth. She took a deep breath and tried to regain her composure.

Take responsibility. She mouthed slowly for Regina to understand.

Cherise grinned in her fae-like way. “I am a little chatty. I used to be very angry and quiet. Archie’s changed everything about my life… He made me a kinder and sweeter person. Of course, I also don’t get to talk to many people during my day. It’s usually just asking the kids if they want to watch more Sesame Street.” While Cherise could count quite a few friends and those who were kind enough to help in childrearing, it was still difficult to have a conversation with so many chores to do in one day. Nothing ever seemed to stop. It was still the happiest life she chose for herself.

She nearly choked at the spitfire comment. “Oh, Usagi… She’s got Archie…whipped. He’s completely tied around her finger. Spitfire is a perfect way to describe her. She told a few classmates that because she was adopted, she was better because ‘at least her parents weren’t stuck with whatever fell out of the chute’. If she’s ever a bad influence on Henry, let me know. I’ll reign her in.” Cherise sighed and brought a hand to smack against her face. “Oh my god, and Archie can’t bring himself to say a thing because she’s his buddy!” The more Cherise listened, the more delighted she seemed. “…Archie and Neal are two peas. Sounds like they need the playdate with the kids while we go out for hot cocoa or lemonade…something.” She could sympathize. Soon. She understood that feeling. Everything being so sudden and happening so fast! She gave an understanding smile and silently seated herself. “I’m…I’m recovering. Seven kids and Kiernan’s the new little guy. My one year anniversary was on New Year’s… Before that? I moved in with Archie after just one night. It was…kind of a whirlwind. In just all of this time, I’m constantly discovering new things. Some parts of our lives were lies. We’re building a journey together. After so many years of being separated, here’s what life is as we know it. I’m sure this isn’t your idea of what life was going to be like, either. Here’s a bunch of fast balls and you have to catch them all, or you’ll immediately fail.”

Honestly, this wasn't at all what she had planned for her life. Most of it was just missteps and mistakes but it certainly faired better than what she had expected from life. From the very beginning she had searched for her parents and Princess and and Prince were never on her list as possible occupations for her parents. This whole town was based around a notion that she herself would never believe nor could she comprehend completely.

"When do we set it up? I'm roaring for a little time." She loved Henry with her whole heart and as soon as she said those words she felt this slight anxiety about not being with him for those few hours. She began to wring her wrist for a few seconds then stared back at her companion. "Yeah, maybe a little time away is something I need. Do you ever just get this sinking feeling about leaving your kids even if it's just for a few hours? That it's terrifying? Granted when I go get Neal and Henry they're both going to be covered in a sticky mess, I know it. Ugh, I'm over thinking this."

Emma raised a brow, "One whole year? Seven children; How do you do it?" She licked her teeth and shook her head, "Rhetorical, sorry. It all sounds wonderful learning and growing with one another. Maybe not the Whole Regina curse thing that sucked to high heaven, for most people here... I don't know what I'm going on about. It sounded better in my head."

There was that chilly false hope that Kiernan would open his eyes and hear Emma calling to him. Still, she could find humor in Emma’s original response. “I did sorta give a little change in that predictable routine he had, I guess. I am the psychopath hurricane in his calm space. He stops me from being too stupid, but I think he’s absorbed some of my rashness. Oh well… Maybe the biting has infected him with fairy rabies.” Cherise flared her nostrils and stuck out her tongue while she fussed with the baby carrier so that Emma could see Kiernan a bit better. She gently smoothed some of his reddish curls, which brought out the more nurturing part within her again.

"That’s…that’s right. Archie…picked the name out. He’s…uh… my youngest, yes. And deaf. Don’t worry about the sympathies… I’m okay. I’m okay with it. My oldest is twelve… Henry knows Usagi. She’s eight. We adopted them. Usagi… She’s got a very unique bond with Archie. She talked him into playing super hero last summer. She had him running around the back yard in a Captain America outfit…. Yeah if you wanna get my phone out of my back pocket, it’s the background. Archie in a Captain America suit and the kiddos going wild." She looked down at Kiernan with a weak smile. “I love my family. It all…sorta comes together, doesn’t it? All of the pain and waiting. And even if you have a mess in the kitchen, it really doesn’t matter cause…it’s all worth it. It’s where you belong.” Kiernan did not seem very amused at being moved from the baby carrier and let out a cry to display his discontent. With a grimace, Cherise gently placed the baby against her chest once more and gently buckled him against her. She gently stroked little circles against his back and let her eyes float back to Emma. “Um…Henry told me… About the uh… Congratulations are in order for you as well. Bigger question is, how are you feeling? People seldom ever asked me about that in my old life. Only Jiminy ever had the wits to ask me what I felt or wanted. I realize that’s what people should be asking each other and meaning it. So how do you feel?”

[afflictedwithdisbelief]

"A psychopath, sure. I'll believe that when I see it but for now all I see is a very talkative, caring mother." Emma didn't quite understand half of the things that were said in the conversation. "You turned his world upside down for the better; I can see that. "

Hearing that the child was deaf she nodded. "He's beautiful." There was no despite the fact the boy was deaf. There was nothing wrong with it. He was perfect. "Oh, yeah- Henry's told me about your girl. She's very spitfire. A very unique little one. " She chuckled, and wiped at her grin. "Neal's....latest kiddie outfit involved dressing as a witch from Hocus Pocus so that Henry could practice his skills for becoming a knight. Archie and him should get together and we can see the lot of them with the kids."

It was all so new to her, being a mother and taking on that responsibility since Henry was kept in her care. Both mothers, Regina and Emma fought fiercely for their son even if they but heads quite a lot. Emma has more than enough issues with how Regina is with Henry. Still Henry is her light and in her mind will always be the true saviour of the town.

"To be honest...scared, weird and overall I have anxiety about it. After everything between me and Neal...I don't know. I spent my whole life never trusting anyone because of what happened but I still love him." She smacked her lips, "Too serious too soon. Que awkward laughter and then we're good here." Emma watched Cherise with the little boy, "Sit down, have a drink..." She offered, "What about you? How are you feeling?" Emma referred to anything that might have been going on with the mother.

Regina had warned her multiple times during this little talk of theirs hadn’t she? She would not be held accountable over losing her temper. Even though it was her fault. But each word that came out of Miss.Swan’s mouth was like a dagger being twisted in her heart. And those last words, what exactly was she trying to say? That Henry wasn’t at all happy, that he was completely not well looked after while under Regina’s care? That Miss.Swan was better suited to be his mother, then Regina would ever be. Regina knew all too well about sacrifice, she had sacrificed plenty of things before. None of which this woman would even begin to understand. Perhaps it was becuase her anger had reached the tipping point that her magic had decided to react without Regina even having to command it. Magic was a dangerous thing, and being tied to emotions made it a lot worse. But suddenly the purple cloud had appeared around her hand before it disappeared, revealing a tongue, Miss.Swan’s tongue to be exact. Regina stared at it a bit confused before she smiled. “Really Miss.Swan, I did warn you to hold your tongue didn’t I? I suppose I’ll just have to hold it for you now.”

[afflictedwithdisbelief]

There was a shocked expression on Emma's face when her tongue had gone missing. Then as suddenly as it appeared on the sides of her lips it turned to a grimace. Emma spouted curse after curse that would normally be accompanied with loud shouts; were muffled by the former mayor's antics. With one breath she moved toward her own mother's step-mother and Emma twisted her lips about to take hold of the older woman's neck.

Struggling she clearly mouthed out the words; Henry isn't going to forgive for doing this.

Cherise looked down at the child strapped to her chest with some mild crippling feelings of self confidence issues closing in on herself. There were a few meetings of Regina Mills back when Henry had been six years old, but this was the first time she had the pleasure of meeting Emma Swan. This was Heny’s second mother. This was the wonderful lady who broke the curse.

"Hi…! Uh…" She looked down at her son for some sort of way out of the conversation. Here was an adult and the conversation didn’t have to do with children. Cherise was at a loss for once now that she was a little more anxiety-ridden. "I…I uh… I married Archie last year. I kinda stay hidden indoors and just take care of the kids… This is Kiernan… Mnn… He’s sleeping…" Cherise took a few tiny steps inside of the apartment and glanced around nervously. It felt as if she was intruding into a sacred place. This was Emma’s home, after all. “Your…your place is lovely! Very…homey. Clean! Uh…I’m afraid I don’t know a home without a pack-n-play and toys being everywhere at this point… Poor Archie and Pongo. I took them from bachelor life and forced them into this.”

[afflictedwithdisbelief]

"I'm sure that's not all you did," She replied to the marriage, jokingly and noticed it might have sounded rather crass. She cleared her throat and apologetically nodded. Her lips scrunched up as she did so. "Congratulations! I mean." She looked down at the keyring styled engagement ring that Henry brought to her when the boys played her. It looked so much like just a key chain in her finger but the small diamonds encrusted broke that delusion. "Nice  to meet you, Kier-keirnan. Am I saying it right?" She spoke in a hushed tone.

Emma lead the way, "Today it is. Last night Henry and Neal had a little dinner where they they wanted to copy Hell's kitchen without the language. There was some mess...ah, well this one is getting full of makeshift swords and I guess older kid stuff. He's getting into games now, like Capcom vs. Marvel but it's better than most things I've seen out there." She chuckled, "I'm sure you were a welcome sigh to them. Is Kiernan your youngest?"
