[Queen Regina/Regina Mills]

Queen Regina/Regina Mills

Regina paused as she saw him go from concerned to happy as he touched her stomach. She smiled at him as he remained silent before kissing her. She returned the kiss and pulled back with a grin.

"We're going to be parents. I've been trying to baby proof the house getting supplies and things but I wasn't sure if I had room for a nursery. Alex has a room. You have a room. And then there's Henry's room and my room. I guess i could add one magically although that'd take some time." said Regina.

She smiled just happy that she finally told him. She paused looking at him.

"I'll tell Alex first chance I get. But I want to tell Henry. I just hope he can keep this quiet. I don't want the whole town to know. They might try to hurt me and our child. Or you or Alex." said Regina.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

He saw Regina grin as the kiss was broken he heard her words, he would help her how ever he could his hand did not move his hand form her stomic before he spoke "If nothing else I can move the things out of my room & make that the nursery"

He was glade that she told him, he never thought he would be a father yet he could not say the idea made him upset at all he knew he was to a point that he should look at having one, it was just he did not really know anyone besides Regina in such a way not that he wanted to know anyone else like he knew her. He knew it would be hard to be a father, it would be somthing new for him how ever he look forward to it all the same.

"Do you think he can keep it quite?" He did not know if the boy would so that is why he asked "I will protected you & are family" He would done so even before he heard her words, but in many ways he had alreay show that she would protected her already he just was moving it over to cover her famil that was become there family as well" He moved to lightly kiss her as he spoke "What else needs to be done to be ready for the baby?"

Regina nodded.

"That's true. We don't really need seperate bedrooms now. I don't think Henry or Alex would mind. That is if Henry moves back here some day." said Regina.

She smiled glad the secret was out at least between the two of them. When Regina mentioned if he could keep it quiet she nodded.

"I think he can. Besides Emma and her parents aren't going to come after my baby. It's Mr. Gold we'd have to worry about. And I don't think Henry or his family would tell him. And it's not like I can hide this pregnancy forever. People are going to find out eventually." s aid Regina.

She paused as he said he would protect him and their family.

"I know you will. I'm glad I was able to give you a child. And perhaps someday Henry and Alex will be your stepchildren." said Regina.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

He listened to her words "I am sure he would move back in time, perhaps he will visited" As much as he wished to give her the world or anything she wanted however he was not sure how easy that would be to give her or going so would only make things worse somthing he did not wish to do.

He was glade to hear that Regina did not think the children would mind them being together so that was good, he was also glade to hear that Henery could keep it quite but, as she pointed out it was not somthing that could be keep quite ever. Not taht he minded it was more knowing that those that know would know & could be ready by the time others world.

He did not miss her words about Mr. Gold, he had dealt with the man in the past & he did not think that time would change how things where likly to end between them, but time would tell for sure. "One does not need to hid it forever just enogh so those that should know about if first know & perhaps Mr. Golds wife will keep him distracted enogh to make him over look wanting to harm are child"

It was a slim chance, since he knew what Rumple could do or at least what he had sceen, yet that did not mean his wife would not have ways to keep him in cheek since he really did not see where any woman did not have ways to keep men in cheek one way or another. "I never thoght I would be a father, now that I am given the chance I look forward to it & I hope one day I can call them my steepchildren" He moved to lightly kiss her hand, a old trudition but then some truditions never got old so long as it was between the right people.

Regina nodded as she listened to him.

"I hope he does. I do miss him. It'd be nice to have all my children under one roof again." said Regina.

She looked at him as he grew silent listening to her. Then he spoke up again.

"You're right. I know Belle would not want to harm this child. But I don't know if that would be enough. He may not listen to her. He has been away for her years. And it's my fault they were split up. But I don't believe he would want to harm my child but he's unpredictable. He might consider it a casualty of war or consider it a mercy killing." said Regina.

She wasn't really sure what Rumplestiltskin would or wouldn't do anymore. That man was a hard one to figure out even after all this time. She smiled as he listened to her saying he was glad to be a father and kissed her hand.

"We're going to be parents. I meant to tell you sooner but I was just so nervous. And afraid we'd be overheard. But I had to tell you. And I'm glad I did." said Regina.

She grinned as she wrapped her hands around him and pulled him into a kiss.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

He nodded to her words, he could see her reasoning to want her children under the same roof. He listened to her other words "I suppose we will just have to watch the man, to see that harm did not come to there child" He watched her as she wrapped her arms around him, to kiss him he moved to return it as one hand moved up to her cheek & the other moved around her waisted to rest on the flat of her back.

Regina nodded as she spoke.

"I can't keep my pregnancy hidden forever. He's bound to find out. I wouldn't be surprised if he already knows. Sometimes I could swear he was psychic. Either that or has a way of spying on people like I used to do with my Magic Mirror." said Regina.

With Sydney a human once more she'd lost the ability of using him as a Magic Mirror to spy on her enemies. During the curse she hadn't needed it. Then she had Graham and Sydney spy on Emma for her but Graham betrayed her and Sydney was locked in the asylum taking the fall for Kathryn's fake murder ande kidnapping. But when the curse broke he disappeared from the asylum and she had no idea where he was at the moment. Spies and informants could be killed, paid off, or scared away. She needed another magical way to spy on people. She just wasn't sure how yet.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

He heard her words "It does suck that he appers to be one steep a head of you, if that is the case or how it appers to turn out most the time. How ever if he knows some how, I suppose it is good that he has not made a play aginst the child, perhaps he does not find fun with harming a child & would be more willing to set his sigts on you or me?" He did not like to think about it, but it was better them to worry about the Rumple than there child that was insent.

[Queen Regina/Regina Mills]

Queen Regina/Regina Mills

Regina nodded.

"It's probably Belle. She's softened him up again. Last time they were together in our old land I almost made him powerless. True Love's kiss almost turned him human again. But he broke the kiss before he could be cured. A shame really. I almost had him that time. I met Belle on the road and convinced her to try it but Rumplestiltskin saw through it and sent her away. That's when I stepped in and imprisoned her and made him believe she was dead. I was thinking of using her against Rumple but she escaped and now she has her memories back and is with him." said Regina.

She paused turning to John and grinned.

"Well it doesn't matter. If he knows he would have tried something. He probably thinks I will slow down with this pregnancy. And I probably will. It did slow me down for awhile after Alex was born. Of course then I didn't have my magic but now I do. And I won't let anyone hurt any of my children. Alex, Henry, or this new child. And that goes for you as well. I already lost one man I loved. I do not want to lose another. He might target me through you. I want you to be careful. I'll try to perfect a protection ring or something you, Henry, and Alex can where." said Regina.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

John heard her words he chuckled "So you say that love is a weakness, somthing that can be used aginst one?" Love was, however it was one of those things that most could not avoid form being trapped with in its web. He watched her "So you two play these battles of will often here? Since in the old world I know you two had your moments even if many of them ended with only one out come, however one can learn form there mistakes & inprove on them"

He nodded with her words of a ring for her family "If you feel you must do a ring for use than do it, but you know as well as I that he might of done nothing right now, since we have not prodded him. As much fun as I enjoy a fight, even I know when it is best to let one be"

[Queen Regina/Regina Mills]

Queen Regina/Regina Mills

Regina nodded.

"Yes love is a weakness. It can make you vulnerable, weak to attack. But I don't regret our time together in either world." said Regina.

She paused as he spoke again saying they played battles of will often.

"Not as often as our old world. We even were allies for a brief time. But he doublecrossed me. And now he has Belle. I suppose we both are happy here now." said Regina.

She sighed though wishing there was a way to get Snow and Charming to suffer. In their old land it was true she couldn't harm them thanks to Rumplestiltskin helping them. But here they were vulnerable to her and her magic. She just had to find the right way to get rid of them and Emma as well.

"I do. Rumplestiltskin may not try anything right away but he will try something soon. And I want to be ready. It will take some time to make those rings though. And then I will make sure Henry, Alex, and you were them. With the three of you and my unborn child safe from Rumplestiltskin I will be very happy. These will only protect you from magic though so we would still have to watch out for any of his tricks." said Regina.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

He listened to her words "Very well we can be watchful of him, even after you make the rings. But, perhaps if we think he becomes to much a threat we can look at taking Belle to keep him in line" But, he did not know if it would work or not, since Rumple had been an issue even in the fairytale land he did not see the man changing much, exepted getting more upset when things did not go as he wanted them to. He watched & waited for Regina to say what she thought or if they should make any plans when it came to Mr. Gold or that.

[Queen Regina/Regina Mills]

Queen Regina/Regina Mills

Regina nodded to him.

"The downside is Sydney is no longer my Magic Mirror. I don't know how to make another one so I'll have to use other ways to spy on him. I think it might take a few days to make these rings. So in the meantime we should be careful." said Regina.

She paused as she thought of Belle and dismissed it.

"While it's a good idea he'd immediately know it was me and he could retaliate by taking Henry or Alex or you before I'm ready. If I take Belle at all I need to be prepared. But there must be something else." said Regina.

She paused as she grinned.

"The dagger. He's the Dark One. Everyone knows whoever holds his dagger controls the Dark One and if you kill him with it you gain his power. Although he's got to have that dagger well hidden. That would be useful only if we got it. Hmm. There must be something else." said Regina.

[Headless Horseman/John Stall]

He listened to her words, he could not say he even saw such a dagger but, then again who would have a dagger that had so much power sitting where all could see it, somthing that would have to be thought over. "What other ways where you thinking on spying on him?" He as not sure what she had in mind or what would work on such a man as her, but he was willing to try. "Perhaps there is others he cares for that we could go after, perhaps to offer a trade to him them for his dagger" He could not say it would work it would take some doing if it would happen "Perhaps if he had more than one love, both of them could vanish & it could be done by others to help draw him away form thinking it is you or that you have any part in taking Belle & that" He watched Regina "It is somthing we can think over as you work on those rings" He just was not sure if Gold, was mad enogh if Regina's magic could stop him.

[Queen Regina/Regina Mills]

Queen Regina/Regina Mills

Regina paused and nodded.

"I could bug his home or his office. But Mr. Gold probably would have a way to detect them. If only I still had my magic mirror. I guess I need to find a way to create a new one or at least a new way to spy on my enemies." said Regina.

She paused as he said there could be others.

"Perhaps. But if he has anyone else he cares about he's been very quiet about it. It is something to look into though." said Regina.

She paused as he said they could make more than one person he cared about vanish and suspicion might be off her if she used others.

"Perhaps. But aside from you, Sydney, and Samuel I have no one else really working for me. Graham is out of my power and Gold would suspect me instantly if he saw one of you. I'll have to think on this." said Regina.
