She didn't know why she agreed to go to this 'charming' get together. The moment she stepped in she was already being threatened by an angry, knife-wielding Dwarf. It was all for Henry she thought numbly to herself, but as he has engrossed in an animated conversation with Grace or Paige or whatever the hell she went by. She was sure no one would miss her if she left now Hell they would most likely be overjoyed at the evil queen running from the Charming and co. So Regina went to the back of the building at a cold dreary empty both and stared longingly at her son. She felt eyes dancing on her and heard peoples half-assed attempt to whisper their opinions. She heard the door open again and the whole Diner went quit.

"Regina?" At last, she heard that voice the voice she has only ever dreamt of hearing once more. . She slowly stood up from the booth and hesitantly turned around to see her beloved stable boy alive and in a business suit.

"Daniel!" she said as tears poured out of her eyes and her heart finally started beating after decades of waiting. She ran across the diner and her stable love opened his arms wide and lifted her into his arms and spun her around as she sobbed into his chest

"How- how are you here?"

"Your mother didn't kill me, darling, she just sent me to the land of untold stories. before you cast the curse I talked a fairy into her giving me an age freezing potion that can only be solved by true love's kiss. Then I came here and wrote a book it got published and I made quite a bit of money. Rumple called me yesterday and told me the curse was broken. so here I am." He said stroking her hair. She stiffened and pulled back.

"You- You know about the curse." She said fearfully.

"Yes darling and it doesn't matter I'll always love you no matter what." He said bringing his lips down to hers, a white light slammed everyone back

"Well, I guess that means I can age again!" He joked.

"God I missed you so much," He said holding me to his chest.

"I missed you too." She sobbed.

"Mom?" Henry asked questioned walking up to her confused.

"Henry, this is Daniel. My true love. Daniel this is my son Henry." She said smiling happily.

"You had a Son?" he frowned.

"I'm not his birth mother, I adopted him." Daniel sighed in relief.

"Good, I was worried for a moment you moved on," he said nervously.

"I could never Daniel. I love you and only you." she smiled.

"Mom, I didn't think you had true love?" Henry frowned.

"Yeah, why does the Evil Queen get a true love but us Dwarves are forced to be alone," Grumpy grumbled looking pointedly at the Blue Fairy and Nova.

"Hey, let's go home my darling. We have much to discuss."

"Okay, then you can tell me about the book you wrote," she said grabbing his hand and leading him out of the diner.

"Oh it's about a Princess and a stable boy falling in love," Daniel said as she turned to face his true love.

"You wrote our love story?" she said smiling.

"Of course I did, but now its time to finally start it. I want you to finally be my Stable Queen."
