Summary: He always asks please and she always gives him what he wants, except once.
Note: Just a quick one-shot. It's like 4 in the morning and I wrote this half-asleep so sorry for mistakes.
"Please mommy! Please can I have just more one cookie?" Henry is four years old with a toothy grin and bright eyes. Regina can't help but give in and give him just one more cookie.
"Please mom! Can I have it? It's so cool!" He's nine now and things are changing. Henry is spending less time with Regina and more time reading comics and books. This one is new and it's kind of pricey but he flashes that grin and Regina sighs and places it in the cart.
"C'mon mom, please?" A lot of things have changed in the past five years. It took a while for the dust to settle after the curse broke but now everyday life has a sense of normalcy to it. It's Regina's week with a sixteen year old Henry who wants to take the car and go out with Ava. Regina's a little more reluctant then she has been in the past, he's supposed to be her little boy playing with cars, not using them to go on dates. Henry gives her his best puppy dog eyes and a lopsided smile and suddenly the keys are dropping into his hand. "Be safe." She whispers and he nods before darting away.
"Mom, please just calm down, it's not a big deal." But to Regina it is. Henry's twenty four and he's been working as Emma's deputy for 2 years now. Storybrooke has been so calm and peaceful lately that Regina's not had to worry about him. But today she got a call that he's been shot in the leg and she just cant calm down. This is her baby boy, he needs to be safe.
"Mom will you please just give her a chance?" He's nearly thirty now and he's engaged to some city girl who seems far too stuck up for her Henry. But he loves her, she has to keep reminding herself of that. She'll give her one chance, but if this girl breaks her baby's heart then no power in the 'verse can stop her from defending her boy.
"Mom? Mom please! Mom can you hear me? No mom! Please! Don't leave me." Regina's not as young as she used to be, that's for sure. It should have been easy enough to close the portal after Emma came back from visiting her parents, but something went wrong and it reopened and creatures started pooring out. Regina fought as best she could, but there were just so damn many. She wasn't adequately prepared and ended up taking a nasty bit of fire to her back. But Henry was here, her young boy all grown up and trying to take care of her now. "Please mom, I need you."
"I'm sorry." Regina, so used to giving him what he wants, closes her eyes with the thought that she's let her son down. If only she could have done this one last thing for him.
Please Mommy.
