Note: I´m one of the fans that want to see some Regina and baby Henry scenes. Since that didn´t happen on the show (yet), i´ve decided to write this.
I don´t have a lot of experience on writing fanfics and my english fails me sometimes (i´m portuguese), so be gentil with me.

Some people say that women are born with maternal instinct. Regina Mills wanted to be a mother but she had a busy life, after all, she was the Mayor of Storybrooke. She doubt that she ever had time to go out with someone. Regina loved someone in the past but he was taken away from her in a cruel way. They had made plans and Regina wanted him to be the father of her child. But destiny was cruel to her. Regina thought for a while and took a decision. She´s was going to adopt a child. After talking with Mr. Gold, the man that was going to take care of everything, Regina started counting the days to meet her baby. Finally, the big day arrived. Mr. Gold brought the baby to her house. Regina took the baby in her arms and fall in love with him. It was a beautiful baby boy. She was trembling and crying from hapiness. The baby grabbed her finger with his little hand and Regina smiled.
Mr. Gold: Have you thought of a name?
Regina: Yes, Henry.
It was three in the morning when little Henry woke up crying. Regina ran to his room and took him to her arms. Regina sat on the rocking chair that she bought to his room and she started singing to him.
Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat,
And if that billy goat doesn't pull, Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over, Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark, Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down, Well you'll still be the sweetest baby in town.
Henry fall asleep and Regina continued to look at him and thinking about Daniel. For her, it was like Henry was the fruit of their love.
