This is an idea I came up with yesterday, so I only wrote the first chapter now. The story is like a advent calendar. Each chapter is for each day. And so will every chapter be posted. Of course first ones will be posted as fast as possible so I can keep up with the dates. But otherwise, a chapter each day.

Because they get posted each day, they aren't that long. I try to make them long but only what I have time for.

I hope you like it.

When Henry woke he was instantly up from his bed and looked out of the Window, but his smile quickly faded as he saw the same boring grass in his front yard.

Dammit! No tobogganing today

But of course the truest believer had an other idea to really bring the Christmas feels on the board. He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen but stopped as he instantly saw a little present with his name on it.

"To Henry", was all it said. At first he got slightly confused. His mother never did these things with him when it was Christmas. Only on the Sunday's. But thought that his mother had changed something this yeah he didn't think any of it and sat at the island and opened the package.

"Good morning Henry", Regina said as she walked inside the kitchen and kissed his temple before going to the refrigerator to take out the eggs and bacon and start on breakfast.

"Good morning", Henry answered back and smirked at his mother, he continued opening his present and his eyes went wide as he saw what was inside.

"OMG ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!", he yelled in happiness and smiled wide.

"Henry! Language!", Regina said sternly at his son.

"Sorry"

"Why are you yelling anyway?", Regina asked curious as she turned and crossed her arms, leaning against the counter. Henry showed her the game in his hands and Regina stared at the game for second.

"Who gave you that?", she asked. Henry's face turned into confusion and stared at his mother.

"What?", Regina asked now confused herself. Henry shook his head and asked.

"Is-isn't this from you?"

Regina blinked and shook her head. She took the game from her son and looked it over.

"Hhmm"

She rose her hand and laid it on the game. She felt nothing.

"Well it's not enchanted, so it's not a prank or a threat", she announced and game Henry his game. He took it and looked at his mother with raised eyebrows and a smirk.

"Really mom? Enchanted? Who would enchant a video game?"

"Villains who might want to hurt me Henry. You know that"

Henry sighed and nodded. He walks to his mother and gave her a hug.

"It's okay mom. You're a hero. Nobody want to kill you anymore"

Regina smirks and hugged Henry back. She pulled back and kissed Henry's cheek.

"Why don't we get some breakfast and then go buy some Christmas decorations?"

Henry smiled and nodded wildly.

"Yeah! Good idea mom!"

Regina and Henry were at the supermarket looking after christmas decorations and they've already found some.

"What about this one mom?", Henry asked and held up a little rain dear. Regina looked it over and smiled.

"Yes. It could stand on the porch"

"Good idea mom"

Regina smiled and walked further down, Henry following suit. A couple of second they all heard a loud bump and a hissed voice.

"Shit!"

They looked at each other and walked towards the loud noise and saw Emma on her knees picking up her groceries. Regina chuckled and Henry laughed lightly. Emma instantly turned and saw her son and his other mother smiling down at her.

"Uh, hey guys"

"Hey ma", Henry said and walked towards her and got on his knees to help his mother.

"Thanks kid", Emma said and kissed his temple. Henry smiled and stood from the ground. Regina noticed the smile on the blondes face. It was sad. Something was wrong.

"Henry I see we need an advent calendar, can you go get one?", she asked her son and Henry smiled nodding.

"Sure mom"

Henry walked away leaving the two women alone.

"Hey", Regina said to Emma and Emma turned to her.

"Hey Regina", she said back not even trying to hide her sadness. Regina noticed and became even more worried.

"Are you okay? Is everything alright?"

"Hhmm? Oh yeah. I'm fine. I just... I don't really get all this Christmas decorations thing. I mean come on. It's only the 1'st. of December. We got lots of time"

Regina nodded eyeing the blonde a bit, trying to figure her out. Emma noticed the staring and eyed her back.

"What?"

"Remember what I told you in Camelot? I know you Emma. You can't lie to me. So what's really wrong?"

Emma sighed and looked down. She really didn't want to talk about this. Especially not with the brunette.

"It's just. It's nothing, it doesn't rea—"

"Emma. What's going on?"

"It's just Killian. I just...", Emma trailed off and looked down. Said brunette eyed her and sighed.

"It's okay to miss him Emma"

"I know, I just... I have to move on", she said, and Regina wanted to say something, to make her feel better, but before she could think about anything, Henry bet her to it.

"Here you go mom", Henry said and Emma and Regina composed and turned to Henry both smiling.

"Thank you Henry. It's wonderful"

Emma smiled a true smile at her sons proud smile. He was truly growing up.

"I gotta go. Gotta get the ice team in the freezer before it melts. Bye guys", Emma said and kissed Henry's cheek and smiled at Regina before walking to the checkout.

"Is everything okay mom?", Henry asked as he noticed his mother staring sadly at his other mother. Regina shook her head and turned to her son.

"Yes Henry. Everything is fine"

Henry nodded and looked at his other mother who stood at the checkout and smiled at the cashier.

When Regina and Henry got home they got all the decorations in a box and all the groceries they decided to buy in the kitchen. Henry ran to the dining room and found a candlestick for the advent calendar and ran back to the kitchen. He took the calendar and put it in the candlestick. He smiled and turned to his mother.

"Look mom!"

"Good Henry. It looks wonderful"

Henry smiled and went to the dining room putting the candlestick on the dining table. He suddenly heard a knock and went to open, but no one was there he looked down and saw a single rose laying on the porch. He smirks and picked it up. He saw a card and smiled it and closed the door.

"Mom!", Henry yelled ran to the kitchen putting the rose on the kitchen island. Regina turned and saw the rose on with a white card read it.

To me you are perfect

Sweet", she said with a smile and went to a closet to find a vase. She put water in it and put the rose in.

"Who do think it's from?", Henry asked smiling as he saw his mothers smile.

"I don't know. The only person I could think of is Robin, but he's not that romantic"

"Hey dad", Emma announced as she walked inside the sheriff station.

"Hey Emma. You okay? You look flustered"

"I'm fine. It's just been a rough morning", Emma said as she sat in the chair and went to find the files.

"Well is everything alright? Do you need help for anything?"

"Dad I'm fine. Seriously, nothing to worry about"

"Alright. Well I will go home then. I need some sleep"

"Of course say hello to mom from me"

"'Course", he said and kissed his daughters temple before walking out of the station. Emma smiled and turned to the files only stopping halfway as she noticed the dwarf in her cell.

"Seriously Leroy?"

"What? It's christmas. I can drink if I want to"

Emma rolled her eyes and went back to the file.

"Emma!"

Emma woke as she heard the yell a a paper stuck to the side of her mouth and realized she must have fallen asleep. She turned to see Regina standing beside her.

"Regina. Hi, uhm sorry what did you say?"

Regina sighed and sat in the chair beside Emma.

"Emma is everything okay? You seem off today"

"Am I not always?", Emma chuckled nervously. Regina kept staring at her and put her hand on Emma's. Emma's heart beat a million miles per hour as she felt the brunette's hand on her own. It was the first real touch she ever had with Regina and it scares her how easy it feels. She swallows a huge lump and smiles even more nervously.

"Uhm. I just... I just need to think about some stuff"

Regina eyed her and only saw truth. She nodded and caressed the blondes hand one time before taking it away. Emma instantly missed the touch and pouted a little.

"Okay. But please say something if something is wrong"

Emma nodded not even looking at the woman. She suddenly came to thought that the brunette was here before she woke.

"How long did you stand and watch me sleep?"

Regina smirked and smiled at the same time.

"Not for long. But enough to know that you actually drawl when you sleep", Regina said and pointed at the paper that was still attached to the side of her mouth. Emma's eyes turned to the side and saw the paper. She took it off and growled.

"I came because Henry wanted me to invite you over for dinner"

"Oh. Yeah sure. What time?"

"Now"

Emma eyed the woman confused and Regina nodded towards the click that clearly read *5:57pm*

"Have I been sleeping all those hours?"

"Apparently so. So are you coming?"

Emma nodded and stood and followed the woman. When they were at the mansion and walked in, Emma intensely saw the candle on the dining table. She smiled and walked with Regina to the kitchen. She immediately saw the single rose in the vase.

"You brought a single rose?"

Regina turned around and looked at the blonde.

"I didn't. Somebody else did and gave it to me this morning"

Emma's eyebrows rose and looked curious.

"Really? Who?"

"I wish I knew, there was a knock on my door and they left this", she said motioning with her hand towards the rose. Emma looked at the flower and saw the card.

"A message"

Regina nodded and read it again.

"To me you are perfect"

"Sweet. Somebody obviously likes you. Could it be Robin?"

Regina smiled and shook her head.

"No. Already asked him. He looked like he saw a ghost", she said and laughed.

"Well. Then somebody secretly has a crush on you"

"Not so secretly anymore"

"Of course it's still secretly. You don't know who they are. Could be anyone"

Regina smiled and let go of the card, letting it hang from the flower.

Suddenly her oven clicked and her lasagna was finished.

"Henry, dinners ready", Regina yelled as she took out the lasagna. As dinner started, Henry happy excluded.

"Ma guess what I got today!"

Emma smirked and thought about it.

"A video game?"

Henry looked flustered and eyed his mother.

"Uhm. Uh yeah, how-how did you know?"

Emma laughed lightly and smiled.

"Henry everybody who knows you, knows that you love video games and would give it to you in present"

Regina smiled at the blonde and looked at her son who now laughed lightly.

"Yeah you're right"

"So you got a secret Santa and you got a secret admire. This is going to be a fun christmas"
