Regina stood in front of the stove, scrambling eggs for her son, who at in his highchair at the kitchen table.
"Eat, mommy." he chanted sipping milk out his sippy cup.
"Henry, mommy can only cook so fast." Regina smiled at her beautiful son.
"You think you have enough for, too. Daddy's kinda hungry too. And in a bit behind schedule. Swan's picking me up." Daniel came in the kitchen with his dissolved as he buttoned his shirt. He walked over to his son and kissed his head and then walk the short distance to kiss his wife's cheek.
"That depends. Is that all I get?" She smirked at him over her shoulder.
She was the reason why he was running late in the first place. Woke up at for fun time that was supposed to be quick but lasted longer than expected.
Daniel laughed out loud as he finished tying his tie, "Didn't I give you enough this morning, my queen?"
Regina blushed, putting eggs on the 2 separate plates as she thought about how many times they went at it. They couldn't get enough of each other. And she loved that about them.
"Point well taken." She placed a plate in front of her husband and then her son. "Here eat up."
She walked back over to the counter and grabbed two cups of coffee and sat between her husband and son.
This was their morning routine Regina would cook breakfast and get their son ready while Daniel rushed to get dress. Then they would seat at the family table and eat quietly together, happy to be in each other presence.
Daniel watched his wife as she helped their son feed himself. She tried to get him to use his fork which he did until decided it wasn't getting into his mouth quick enough.
"Henry." Regina scolded, losing her patients.
He rubbed her back as he chuckled, "Have I told you lately that I love you." He took the last gulp of his coffee.
"Yes, you have. Just this morning if i remember correctly. But I'm sure you'll tell me again." she smiled happily as she wiped Henry mouth.
She turned around to Daniel staring at her as if he was trying to memorize them. She caressed his cheek.
"Daniel, what's wrong?" Regina asked concern.
"Nothing. It's just," he pulled his wife into a tender kiss, "I know this job takes a lot of my time. You've been very supportive. Almost too supportive." They chuckle. "You even took time off to raise our son, so i can take a promotion. Your just amazing, baby."
"Daniel," Regina grabbed her husband cheek and pull him into a passionate kiss. "I love you, too."
Daniel pulled as close as he could without pulling her out the chair. "I've struck gold, huh."
"Oh yeah." They kissed again
There was a quick knock on the door before their front door swung open.
"Colter?" Emma walked straight into the kitchen, "Let's hit it."
The happily content family atmosphere was broken, and their intimate moment ruined.
"Morning Mrs. Colter Mills. Did i interrupt?" Emma said as she sat h the married couple pull apart.
"Of course not." Regina stood up tightening her houserob then picked up the dishes from the table and sat them in the sink.
"Yo, kiddo! I swear everytime i see you, you get bigger." Emma spoke excitedly as she walked over to Henry and lifted him out his seat.
"Hi, Em." Henry said her the best way he could as she tickled him.
As Emma played with Henry she watch Regina as she bent over to put dishes into the dishwasher then worked on tidying up the rest of the kitchen.
"Enjoying the view." Daniel whispered only loud enough for them to hear.
"Huh, what? I wasn't." Emma stuttered as she quickly stop playing around with his son and held him.
Daniel gave her a 'yeah, right' look. "Come here, son. Daddy's gotta go to work now." he grabbed him from Emma and looked into his twinning eyes.
"No." Henry said folding his arms like his mother, "Daddy, stay." and then he hugged him as tight as he could.
Regina looked at her son somewhat shocked, he's never done this, even in his terrible 2 stage.
"Honey, it's time for daddy to go to work. Just he did yesterday." She said rubbing his back as he held on to his dad.
"No. No. No!" and before anyone could react to the No's, he burst into an all out fit.
"Henry." Daniel sadly scolded their son. It was breaking him heart.
Regina going info mommy mode grabbed her son and rocked him, trying to calm him down. Emma took that time to walk over to them.
"Hey, hey, kiddo." Emma said calmly, "what if i promise to have home by dinner time. Just like yesterday."
Henry peeked up from his mother shoulder to look at Emma skeptically. He then looked at his dad given him an assuring smile then his mom who kissed his forehead.
"Pro'ise." Henry said as he wiped his tear stain face with his green shirt.
"Promise." Emma winked, "Alright,Colter. Let's get it."
Emma walk and waited for her partner at the door.
"Alright, love you guys." He kissed is wife a couple of times before showering his son with the same amount of kisses. "You you tonight. Lasagna?"
Regina nodded and smiled, "Say, bye, daddy." she walked him out the front door were he was met by Emma.
"Daddy, gone." Henry looked said still.
"Yes, baby. Daddy, gone." she hugged her son and shut the front door.
