Regina

I watched as Henry blew out his birthday candles and I forced a smile. How is he thirteen already?

"Stop aging" I complained to him and he laughed.

"You can't keep me young forever" Henry said and I laughed rolling my eyes.

"Do you know who you are talking to?" Emma asked and I laughed.

"Yeah don't challenge me" I joked and he stuck his tongue out at me. I wish I could make him young forever but I would never use magic on Henry especially not magic like that. Besides after a while him not growing old would grow old. I don't want him not to grow up ever I just want him to not grow up so fast.

To be honest for some reason that i'm not sure of lately I have wanted a baby again. I have done everything to ignore it because it's not a good time, granted it's never a good time in the not so quiet small town of storybrooke, and I can't even get pregnant if I were want to, well at least naturally. I drank that stupid potion which is why I had to adopt Henry.

"How is he 13 already?" Emma asked me as she cut the cake.

"I don't know but he can cut it out" I said sadly.

"Everything ok?" she asked unfortunately picking up on it before I even realized I said it like that.

"Fine, Miss. Swan" I said and she gave me a disbelieving look.

"You know I can tell when you are lying right" she said and I sighed.

"But not when to mind your own business" I said in my normal way knowing not to let her get to me. She laughed a little to herself and I rolled my eyes. Since when did I stop scaring people and start sounding amusing?

After cake and presents we put in a movie, Emma rented Snow White purely as a joke to make fun of us and so we can see Disney-fied version.

"This is not correct!" I said annoyed. "And I don't look like that" Snow just laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Oh please your character is even more humiliating, 'oh let me sing to the birds'" I said and Emma laughed.

"Why didn't I do this sooner?" Emma said and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah really this is better than the movie"

"Do you even have hair?" Snow shot back and me and Henry were both laughing.

"I will curse this town again in a heartbeat" I threatened jokingly.

We settled down and Emma looked over at me.

"Hey?"

"Do you have baby pictures of Henry?" She asked me randomly.

"What type of mother doesn't have baby pics of her son?" I asked and she nodded.

"Right yeah, um can I see them" she asked using her pouty face that Henry uses to get what he wants.

"Please" she added.

"Sure" I said and she looked shocked. It's not that big of a deal, besides I would love to get those things out again and embarrass Henry.

"Really you are actually gonna get those out?" Henry asked annoyed and I laughed.

"And pass up the opportunity to tease you?" I asked going to the closet and getting them out from the top shelf.

"Besides someone turned thirteen today and we can't not look at his baby pics" I joked and he rolled his eyes.

I got them out and we all sat at the table to look at them, all but Henry willingly.

"How old was he when you adopted him?" Emma asked.

"A month, and man was he the fussiest baby definitely got that from you" I said and she looked at me shocked.

"I'm not fussy!" she said defending herself.

"No but you are stubborn and persistent as hell" I said and she rolled her eyes.

"Ok i'm keeping this one" she said taking a picture of the picture of Henry at like nine months old throwing food at me. He was covered in tomato sauce having decided not to let her feed him and decided to have a food fight the second I walked in from work.

I laughed rolling my eyes at the picture, "The babysitter thought it was funny to capture that moment in particular."

"Oh I remember her" Snow said and David laughed.
"She was a character, who was she?" he asked and I shrugged.

"Don't know who she was there but she's babysat the lady in the shoes kids for like three years and survived and that's enough experience for anyone" I said and everyone but Emma laughed.

"Wait she's here?" she asked and I nodded.

"It's a bigger town than you realize" I said simply shrugging. I picked up the picture of the first day I had Henry and I couldn't help but smile. He fussed the entire day but despite that it was the happiest day of my life. Henry has always made me happy and that will never change but I kind of want to do it again. I know it's ridiculous and all but that doesn't change that I still want to have another chance.

The next day I decided to pay a visit to Rumple just to see if it's possible to get a curse that can reverse the effects of that lovely potion I came out to me and smiled.

"Oh hello dearie. What do I owe the pleasure?" he asked in his normal I know you want to make a deal tone.
"How do you undo an infertility potion?" I asked and he laughed in a way only Rumple does.

"And why would you need to know that, dearie?" he asked and I sighed.

"It will be a little hard to have another baby if I can't get pregnant" I said and he laughed.

"You never fail to confuse me, Queen Regina" he said and I sighed.

"I want another chance now that I have turned my life around I want to be a mom again the right way" I said and he laughed.

"Oh dearie magic is never the right way" he said and I sighed.

"A simple reverse spell can't hurt?" I said and he laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"None exist, my dear. However if you are certain about this there is a spell that will guarantee pregnancy to any female that drinks it" he said catching my interest.

"How can I get that" I asked and he laughed.

"Manners and a favor down the road." he said and I sighed.

"You know you might have better business if you just asked for money" I said and he laughed.

"Oh dearie my business is just fine thank you for the concern. So do we have ourselves a deal?" he asked a dangerous smirk on his face.
