A/N: The first Halloween together for Swan Queen and Henry. The couple decides to go out to a Halloween party. Oh yeah, did I mention Regina Mills in a sexy Halloween costume? Rated T…for now.

If there was one time of the year that Emma Swan loved, it was Halloween ; pumpkin pie, spiced lattes, scarves, the leaves changing into beautiful shades of orange and red, and the wonderful anticipation of Halloween night. Halloween was the only night as a child that she felt part of a family. Her foster parents would take all the kids down the block with pillow cases in hand and allowed them to go door to door asking for candy. It was one of Emma's favorite nights of the year.

"Hey," Emma said sweetly, sliding onto the couch next to Regina. She wrapped her arm around the brunette's frame and pulled her close.

Regina kept her gaze glued to the smutty romance book she was reading. "Can I help you with something, Ms. Swan?" she asked as she turned the page.

"So…" the blonde began, walking her fingernails across Regina's shoulders, "Halloween is coming up."

"I am aware," Regina retorted.

"And if you didn't have any plans…"

She looked up slowly from her book, finally making eye contact with Emma. "Unfortunately, I already have plans with Henry," Regina replied sarcastically.

"But-"

"At 7pm on Halloween night I take Henry trick or treating down the road. After he has collected enough candy, we return home, I let him have a piece before bed, and then we watch 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown'. Then it is time for bed. This is how it has been since he was a child, Ms. Swan. Just because you are in our lives now does not mean that you can come in here and change everything to your liking."

Emma rolled her eyes and pulled her arm away from the older woman. "Fine."

An awkward silence filled the room as the two women sat, Emma picking at her fingernails sadly and Regina flipping aimlessly through the book she was no longer concentrated on. Guilt churned in her stomach. The brunette sighed. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt if you came along trick or treating."

Emma's eyes lit up. "There's a costume party at Granny's around 10pm. Maybe Henry can have a sleepover with some of his classmates and we can go together?" She placed one hand softly over Regina's. The connection sent a shiver down the both of their spines.

"We'll see," the brunette purred.

Emma grinned from ear to ear. "I love you, you're awesome."

Regina smiled coyly. "I know."

"Mom! Let's go!" Henry whined. He bounced up and down at the foot of the stairs and waited anxiously for his mother to come down for trick or treating. "We are gonna be late!"

Emma was standing behind him with her palm softly on his shoulder. "Don't rush her, the Queen has to put on her face," she teased, both of them breaking out into quiet giggles.

"I heard that," Regina hissed, sauntering down the stairs. Even on one of the most festive nights of the year, she was dressed in a white button down and maroon suit with a matching pencil skirt and dark purple heels. Mascara clung perfectly to her long lashes and black eyeliner accented the rim of her eyes. To put it lightly, Regina Mills looked absolutely stunning.

"Are you ready?" Henry asked with a whine.

"No need to whine," Regina retorted, grabbing her keys from the table and a pillow case from the sofa. She handed it to Henry and eyed him up and down. He looked absolutely adorable in his costume. "He looks great, doesn't he Ms. Swan?"

"Oh yes, quite the superhero," Emma played along, winking at the brunette.

"Let's go!" Henry groaned, grabbing both of his mother's hands and pulling them toward the front door.

"Henry, wait, pictures-"

"Later!" Henry called as he ran out the door.

Emma laughed softly and watched as her son darted onto the sidewalk to join a group of his classmates that were headed down the block.

"Don't run!" Regina sighed.

"Don't bother, he's excited."

Regina bit the inside of her mouth angrily. "If you let him act like a monkey, he will grow up to be a monkey."

Emma rolled her eyes. She bravely took Regina's hand in hers and tugged her toward the sidewalk. They walked hand in hand down the sidewalk and watched with wide smiles as Henry collected handfuls and handfuls of candy- much more than Regina would have ever allowed – but tonight was a special night and she held her tongue. When the pillow was almost filled to the brim with sweets, however, the brunette took control and gently grabbed her son's hand. "I think that is quite enough candy for one night," Regina scowled.

Henry, looking defeated, nodded and walked in front of his mothers toward home. Emma snuck behind him and whispered very quietly in his ear. "Don't worry, Kid, I have 2 bags of Reese's and 3 backs of mini Kit Kats back at home. I'll give them to you later." Henry grinned and picked up his speed, racing toward home.

"So," Regina said, pausing for a moment, "are you still interested in attending the Halloween festivities?"

Emma turned and grinned. "You actually want to go?"

The brunette sauntered ahead of Emma, swaying her hips purposefully, a hidden smile spread upon her lips. "It's a one time offer, dear. Take it or leave it."

"Of course I want to go," the blonde smiled. A beat, and then she furrowed her brow. "But wait, it's a costume party and you don't have a-"

"That's what you think," Regina replied, looking over her shoulder and winking at her girlfriend. A sexy smile was spread across her face. Oh god, that smile.

Emma's knees went weak and her stomach flipped. She ran ahead to Henry. "Hey, how does spending the night with Mary Margaret and some classmates sound?"
