As I came home 20 minutes later, MM was walking out as I was walking out, we shared a goodbye, and I ran in to see my little boy. My beautiful 2 year old baby boy. the most beautiful accident I've ever created.

"Hey hen!" I say as I pick him up "I missed you buddy"

"mommy!" he screams as he holds on to me as tight as he can "henwy hungwy"

"does henry want some lunch" I say to him as he nods his head enthusiastically. I fix him some peanut butter cracker so and pour him some juice in his sippiecup. "Hey bud are you OK with mommy's teacher coming over for a little bit while she helps mommy with school stuff?" I ask as I ruffle his hair setting his sippiecup down next to him.

"yay! mommy has new fwend?" he smiles at me as he stuffs a cracker in his mouth.

"slow down buddy, and yes I guess you can say that I have a new friend." I smile as I walk to put the dishes in the sink.

While I'm sitting here with a coffee in my hand debating on calling Regina or not. I finally get the courage to dial her number and wait patiently for her to pick up.

"hello?" She says as she picks up the other end.

"Hey Miss Mills, it's Emma Swan." I say with a smile on my face.

"hello, Miss Swan I was hoping to hear from you." she says with a slight smirk to her voice.

"y-yes, uh-um" I clear my throat, " I was wanting to know if you could come over and help me with some English homework possibly?" I say scratching the back of my head.

"Why yes Miss Swan, I would be glad to help you out, what time should I come over?"

"uh how's 5? I could cook something for dinner and we can work and eat?" I say smoothly.

"that sounds lovely dear." she sighs contently.

"ok! well I'll see you then! bye!" I say excitedly I hear her chuckle 'bye' and we hang up. I fist pump into the air, and henry just giggle at me.

"Hey Hen, what do you want for dinner?" I ask as I play dinosaurs with him.

"Sketti!" he screams and I just laugh and nod, "I thought so, sketti it is baby" as I attack him with kisses.

As I'm turning the burner off to the stove I hear the doorbell knowing that must be Regina early as always. I roll my eyes as I go to answer the door. As I pull the door open to greet her, nothing comes out of my mouth. I just freeze with my eyes wide and my jaw on the floor. There stands Regina with the most gorgeous red dress on with her lips painted the same crimson color, not quite expecting her to dress up. I feel her finger on my chin to close it.

"Dear, you'll catch bugs dear." She smirks while I turn a deep shade of crimson.

"Uh yeah, sorry. Haha." I blush inviting her into the house leading her to the kitchen.

We get into the kitchen, henry is on the floor still playing with his dinosaurs when rein a and I walk in.

"Hey Hen, this is mommy's friend Regina I was telling you about." I say smiling picking him up to be eye level with us.

"Why Hello Mr. Swan" she says with the most beautiful smile on her face I could die happy.

"I no Mr. Swan! I henwy!" He yells as Regina and I laugh. I sit him down in his high chair and cut up his spaghetti into tiny pieces for him.

"Would you like to eat now, and tutor after or vice versa?" I said softly.

She comes up behind me and gently places her arms around my waist, "I think we should eat first then we can start with your studies?" She whispers softly in my ear as my heart beats loudly in my chest.

"Okay" I whisper so softly she almost misses it. I can't stop the beating in my chest. My palms are sweaty. I just want to grab her by the waist and pull her into me and kiss her deeply. But we shall see how this night plays out.
