"Do you wanna come in?" Henry asked innocently as Regina pulled up in front of Granny's to switch him off to Emma. "She probably won't mind." His mother had just pulled into a parking spot across from the diner.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea, Henry. This is supposed to be her time with you and I would just be intruding. And-" She got cut off by her boy leaping from her car and she was about to pull away when she noticed he was now standing on her side of the car. He leaned against the window with a come hither look on his face. "Ok, maybe just for a minute." She agreed and slowly got out of her car. Together the two walked across the street to the infamous Granny's Diner, Henry's usual switching place. Regina and Emma had decided it to be neutral territory. It also happened to be nearly equidistant to both of their homes. As they reached the end of the street and beginning of the sidewalk Henry took her hand in a loving and leading motion. He couldn't wait to show Emma that his other mom would be joining them for breakfast. She was less than thrilled.
Emma's face lit up as she saw her kid come running through the door and she rushed over to greet him. Her look of glee dissipated quickly when she saw the mayor in his tow.
"What are you doing here?" She asked with a less quizzical tone and more of a 'If you don't get the fuck out of here right now I will kill you' tone.
"I invited her." Henry replied playfully.
"That he did. And you know hard it is to say no to that little face." Regina continued with a condescending tone. She didn't want to be here any more than Emma wanted her here, but if it was what her son wanted she could put up with the blonde for an hour or so.
Emma lead them to the table she was sitting at and to Henry and Regina's surprise Neal was sitting there. "Henry, you didn't say Neal joined you two at these breakfasts." The brunette whispered to the boy.
"He usually doesn't. If you wanna go, I understand."
"No it's ok. I should get to know him a little better. As should you." She encouraged as she shoved him playfully and followed him into the booth.
"Usual's for everybody?" Granny came over and asked, with an obvious look of surprise on her face that the Evil Queen was dining with the Savior and Dark One's son. Everyone nodded in agreement and she walked away, flabbergasted.
The group sat in silence for some time, not sure how to proceed. Finally Henry blurted out, "How did you two meet anyway? I don't think I've ever asked that since you got here, Neal, and I'm sure my mom would like to know too, right?"
Regina just nodded yes. The two on the other side of the table stared at each other, unsure of where to begin, or what to tell him.
"Well…" Emma started.
