Author's Note: I do not own Once Upon A Time or its characters. Just a fan
"Sorry I am late," Emma said as she entered the classroom. She smiled at Henry's teacher, and tried not to make eye contact with Regina who was sure to have a snarky remark about her inability to show up on time.
"Thank you both for coming," Miss Andrews said.
"Is there something wrong with Henry's grades?" Regina asked, still unsure why she and Emma had been asked to come in.
"No, Henry's grades are fine, although he could improve his math scores. I was hoping I could talk to you both about something else. You see we had a class assignment where everyone was to do a family tree."
"There is no way this ends well," Emma remarked earning her a "shh" from Regina.
"Yes well you see the tree wasn't meant to be comprehensive. It was merely an exercise in how the children identify with themselves within in the framework of their families. Kind of a where if your place in the world and where you want to go. They were to write an accompanying piece to show what traits from their family they hoped they had or could relate with. It wasn't something to share with the class, merely turned in as homework to me. I admit while I have a casual knowledge of Henry's lineage, I was still surprised by what he turned and I felt I should let you see it as well. Henry is a delicate stage in his life and development I think based on what he submitted that he may have some questions about where he comes from and how he fits in."
She handed over two copies of the family tree and essay.
Regina looked at the tree her eyes immediately going to where Henry's parents were to be listed. Her eyes tightened a little as she scrutinized the document. She then flipped to the essay and read through it quickly.
"Do you want to give me the cliff notes version?" Emma asked.
Regina looked at her incredulously. "The cliff notes version, Ok. Henry is under the impression that you and I are involved."
"Involved in what?"
"With each other," Regina said sternly. "He thinks you and I are having a relationship."
"Oh."
