Chapter 1
They met a long time ago, they were both young and different back then, they were both getting over the lose of their own true loves, to have started something so soon would have been wrong, not just to the Memory of Daniel but also to herself as well. She had so much she needed to do. But that didn't mean Regina didn't enjoy flirting with Killian, it was quite the opposite it was exciting, different, playful fun. But it could go nowhere. She couldn't trust him in fact she couldn't trust anyone, that lesson she had already leant the hard way the painful way. And after all she was Queen. They still played with fire though, tempting fate getting closer. But Regina had to end it, and she did it in the worse way she knew how, she sent him a world that Regina herself would want to go to. And in doing so breaking what was left of her broken heart. She knew she had to do it to him before he did something her. They always did.
Now years later, after Daniel finally left after he told her to find love again, only one other face came to mind, no not that of her son, for that was a different love that was protective, motherly love unconditional even when in pain, that was love she could feel for no other. No the face that came to mind was none other than that of Killian Jones or Captain Hook as he is mostly known. And yet it was too late for them he was back in FTL or in Neverland, or still in the world she sent him. He didn't join them in SB. And with that she heart, and yes though not many would believe it, her heart ached once more. So she pushed him aside in her mind, there where more important things to think of work on, like getting her son back, she hadn't used magic except on Daniel and that was that. Not that magic would help in fact it's the reason her son his not sleeping. Magic is what did this but magic could not fix this. Rumple did what he could to help Henry with his nightmare in Netherland to control the flames but nothing more she could but be there. Thankful that David would let her be there for Henry, thankful that he didn't push her away again.
But it all changed again when Henry woke up with a fright again that one night, "They're alive, they are Alive" those were the first words he spoke,
Of course we knew who he meant but we had to confirm, so David asked "Who is?"
Henry opened his eyes wider sat up and spoke words that hurt Regina most "My mom and Mary Margaret they are alive". It wasn't that the news that they survived this was what hurt no, in fact Regina was working things out with Dr Hopper and She knew that Snow was not the only one to blame. What hurt was that even though Emma was Henry's Biological mother and even though she was the one to wake him from Regina's very own spell, what still hurt was hearing Henry call her that "My mom" I felt as if the past 10yrs were nothing to him. No Regina thought. She was still his mother weather he wanted it or not that's why she let go of the tight reigns so he could see. What they heard next was frightful news Regina's very own mother Cora was planning on coming to SB if Emma and Snow couldn't stop her and come back first themselves. Now that in it self was news Regina never wished to hear, Cora was meant to be dead. But was next came from Henry's mouth put Regina in a tale spin.
"Aurora says Captain Hook is also there and that he wants to come to SB as well for Revenge and something else."
That's all Regina needed an angry ex lover to mess up her life, really she had to laugh at the thought not only was she tided to the Charming Family forever through Henry, Sharing him with Emma Swan, with her own mother Cora coming, and now she had to add Killian to the list as well. Their spilt was not one of the easiest things in the world to say it ended badly was putting it nicely. But no one knew of them so she had to keep this to herself. There was one person that would stand up against her mother with her and that was Rumple.
Heaven help her for having to go to him for help, since the Wraith and Belle their already messed up and complicated relationship was even more messed up and complicated. So after leaving Henry with David, Regina went to find Rumple, this will not be pleasant Regina thought.
Regina headed to the Dinner, where Rumple sat with Belle, more award moments. At the sight of Regina heading to Rumple's table, Granny knew from past experiences that this meeting would end badly.
"Sorry Folks, but I'm going to have to close up the shop, everyone ou…." Granny began to speak. But Regina looked up from where she stood at Rumples table, "We are civilized people here, I'll leave soon enough after I had a word with Rumple here." And so Regina told him everything about her mother, and Killian coming. And they left to his shop.
