It was just another lonely evening at night It was just another lonely evening at night for Regina. Henry was spending the night at Emma's for the third time that week. Regina had nothing else to do, so she went to Henry's room. She went over the contents of the room. She picked up a photo of her and Henry when he was younger. She sat on his bed and just stared at the photo. After a minute, Regina felt her eyes well up with tears. She couldn't hold the tears back any longer. Regina let go and burst out crying. "What does Emma have that I don't? What am I doing wrong Henry? I'm trying hard, but what am I lacking?", she cried to the photograph in her hands. Just then, the downstairs door clicked open. Regina quickly wiped her tears away and went down to see who it was. "Henry?", she called.
"Hi mom!", was the answer.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at Emma's?"
"Yeah, I just came to pick up a few movies."
"Oh. Would you like some help selecting them?"
"No. I can do it."
"Alright."
Regina watched and waited while Henry chose movies. She couldn't help but smile at him. He'd grown up so fast, too fast for Regina.
"Got them!" Henry exclaimed.
"Great! Are you all set now?"
"Yup. Bye."
"Bye Henry. Be good!"
Regina turned and went back upstairs. "No hug. No wave. No "mom". What have I done to deserve this?" There she went again. She burst out crying. The former Evil Queen and present mayor of Storybrooke had cried for the second time that day.
