Hi everyone, I'm new to writing for the OUAT fandom but I just had this idea that wouldn't leave me alone, so I just had to write it down. I'm a big Evil Regal and I want Regina to have her happy ending, no matter with whom. I kind of really like the Evil Charming people around here so I thought it could be with Charming.

However it won't happen right away, I have a few things planned out. Not everything so I'm always open to suggestions and critics. I'll try to update regularly but I'm quite busy with school and the French system being what it is, my finals aren't before mid-June so I'll probably be busy until then.

Anyway, I'll let you read. English is not my first language so I'm sorry for the mistakes, I hope there won't be too much. And don't forget to tell me what you think! :)

10 weeks before-

Regina awoke to the feeling of soft fingers tracing patterns along her bare back. She sleepily turned her head to see that it was David's fingers. He seemed pretty engrossed in what he was doing and didn't notice right away that she had awaken. She took the opportunity to study his features. He seemed content, happy. Prince Charming was sleeping with the Evil Queen, and he loved every bit of it. The thought made her shift a little with unease and the fingers on her back instantly stilled.

He knew that affectionate gestures made her the slightest bit uncomfortable, even if he still couldn't understand why. There was a lot he didn't understand about Regina actually. She was a complex woman and he probably would never figure her out entirely. So he was trying taking it slow, not pushing her too fast. It wasn't always easy maneuvering the multiple layers of this incredible woman but so far it had been worth it.

"Hi." He was nervous. She always made him nervous. He knew that if he said or did the wrong thing, she would instantly shy away and put her walls back up again. He wondered what could have happened to such an amazing woman to make her so afraid of intimacy.

A smile slowly made its way to her face. Truthfully, she could get used to waking up next to him. She hadn't planned it but it was nice. "Hi." She then closed her eyes, reveling in the feeling of the first rays of sunshine warming her skin. She buried her face in the pillow, returning to her previous position, and David's fingers resumed their lazy dance on her back. It was nice. Maybe a little bit too nice.

At first she had been weary. How could Charming buying her a drink make sense? He should have been hating her. Even a curse as strong as the one provided by the dark one himself shouldn't have been able to change that. But it had. David from Storybrooke had actually found the former queen to his liking. She had tried avoiding him in the beginning. And then it had been too tempting.

She had promised herself that it would just be something casual. He was handsome and she didn't mind sharing her bed with him from time to time. But now she was afraid that it was developing into something more. Something that made her feel guilty. And to be honest, something that was scaring the hell out of her.

When she had enacted the curse, she had wanted a new beginning. A new chance at life. She had wanted it to be as far away as possible from her life in the Enchanted Forest. She couldn't stand what she had become anymore. She was well aware that her sanity had been slowly breaking and that she was on the verge of losing it entirely. Sure, she could have continued down that path and fought hard for her revenge, having nothing to loose anymore, but there was still that tiny part of her that was refusing to completely give up on the person she could have been. The person that her young self wanted to be. And it was a far cry from the Evil Queen.

So, when finally the curse had been enacted, she had realized that it wasn't too late for that and had created a new life for herself. Here in Storybrooke she was Dr. Regina Mills and nobody, except for Rumplestiltskin, knew of her past. Nobody knew that she used to take lives instead of saving them. Nobody knew of her undying hatred of Snow White. And slowly she had come to terms with Snow breaking her promise. She no longer hated her for that. And it was what made falling for David so wrong. He was Snow's and he couldn't fall for the Evil Queen, no matter how changed she actually was.

But right now she couldn't do anything about it. She had always been selfish and that was one thing that she didn't achieve to change. When she was lying in his bed, his large hands roaming over her body, she couldn't push him away. She could only lay there and enjoy it.

They both reveled in it for a moment before David broke the silence. "I'm glad you came last night."

Regina turned around to face him. They were both laying on their sides, staring in the eyes of one another. "Well, Henry is away at camp for the weekend and I didn't want to spend the night alone."

"Still, I'm glad that you chose to come here of all places."

"Me too."

It wasn't much and it wasn't said with a lot of confidence but it was a lot coming from her, and David knew that enough to truly enjoy it. He suddenly caught the time from the corner of his eyes and groaned internally. He would have to ruin the moment.

Regina caught his expression and looked over her shoulder at what he was looking before looking back at him. "You have to leave for work, don't you?"

"Yeah, I was kind of hoping you would be the one running to the hospital and I wouldn't have to be the one breaking the moment."

"How considerate." She smirked.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't like you bailing on me to run to the hospital, but I have gotten used to it."

"It's my day off."

He dramatically smacked his hand over his face. "You finally have a day off, without work, without Henry, and I'm the one who has to work? Gosh I wish I could just blow it off and spend the day with you."

"Come on, you know you have dogs to save." She was teasing him, just like she always was when they were talking about their respective jobs, comparing 'patients' and all.

He glared at her. "Don't say it like that. I really do save dogs sometimes. I know it's not as glamorous as you saving human lives, but it's still something! People love dogs." He was pouting now and she couldn't help a chuckle leaving her lips.

"I'm just teasing, dear. Of course your job is important. And people do love dogs." He gently pecked her lips and she smiled into it. He was really bringing out the best out of her. Thirty years ago she could never have imagined having such a conversation with Charming and now here she was, playfully bantering with him, lying naked in his bed. "And glamorous? That's how you see it?"

"Of course. How could you, looking painfully sexy in a lab coat, taking care of patients and all, be considered anything else but glamorous?"

"Well, that's definitely not how I feel when I haven't slept in days, between surgeries and taking care of Henry, my hair being a complete mess and my scrubs being all stained from a day of work."

"And even after all of that, everyone still thinks you're sexy. Trust me, I've noticed them staring."

"And you think that's because of the whole saving lives thing?"

"Oh no, that's only part of it. Another major one being that you are just incredibly beautiful." At that he couldn't help but plant a soft kiss on her jaw.

"Do go on." She whispered in her ear as he was still focused on kissing and nipping at her jaw.

"And very smart." He reached her chin. "And funny." He found her lips and pushed her on her back, positioning himself on top of her.

She let the kiss get a little deeper before placing both of her hands on his chest and pushing him slightly away. "You should go."

He took in her dilated pupils and slightly irregular breath and knew that if he didn't leave now he would never leave. She really was intoxicating. "Yeah, you're right, I should go." He pushed himself off of her quickly before he could change his mind and started rummaging for his clothes.

She sat up in bed and watched him doing so. She was actually a little bit disappointed at not being able to spend the day with him. It was rare for her to have a day off, and when she did she usually spent it with Henry. Not that she complained, Henry was everything to her and she wished she could spend a lot more time with him, but spending the day with David would have been nice too. Although maybe not the best idea ever, because things were bound to get more serious between them after that much time together.

But she brushed these thoughts away and focused on the here and now. She grabbed the sheets and self-consciously pulled them over her chest, not liking being the only naked one now. "I should probably get up too. Wouldn't want to get locked up in your apartment."

David was already at the door, putting on his second shoe and didn't put much thoughts in his answer before blurting it out. "Just take the spare key under the rug and lock the door up when you leave. You can keep the key. Love you." And he was out, leaving behind a wide-eyed Regina.

He realized what he had just said after closing the door. He instantly froze. Way to go, David! How is that for not going too fast? You managed to give her the keys to your apartment, and to tell her that you love her. All of that in 10 incredibly stupid seconds! He could feel himself panicking. How could he have been so stupid? He blamed it on his lust-filled mind. That kiss had probably damaged his neurons.

He considered going back in but somehow was afraid of what he would see behind that door. Just for one day, he wanted to believe that what he had said wasn't a big deal. That he hadn't completely ruined their relationship by telling Regina something she wasn't ready to hear. So, he sighed and made his way to work. Maybe giving her some time to digest the information would actually be a good thing.

Meanwhile in the apartment Regina's mind had stopped working. It had gone blank before getting filled with thousands of questions. But more than everything else, guilt. She couldn't keep on lying to herself. She knew he meant everything he had said. And she knew that deep down she could reply just as easily. Snow's husband was in love with her, and she was in love with him.

But he wasn't really Snow's husband anymore, was it? And he never would be. The curse would never break, would it? Suddenly she had the slightest hope. Maybe it would all be okay. After all Mary Margaret here seemed happy and she would never be hurt in any way by Regina and David being in love.

Regina quickly jumped out of bed. She had to see Gold.
