After what had just happened, all I wanted to do was sit and cry and remember that I never got to see my baby girl. Daniel didn't want me to do that though, and knew how to cheer me up.

"Regina, what do you say we go get Henry and go out for some ice cream?" I nodded.

I went to the bathroom to make myself look like I hadn't just bawled my eyes out, seeing as how Henry doesn't know he has a sister. I came back downstairs and they were sitting on the couch, Henry was teaching Daniel how to play rock, paper, scissors.

"Alright you two, are you ready for some ice cream?" It was a unanimous YES!

We walked to Granny's for some ice cream. On the way there, Daniel reached out and held my hand. I felt like a kid again, when I had first laid my eyes on this stable boy. He was just as good looking now as he was then, especially for being dead and brought back to life. Henry could see me get excited when he held my hand, but he didn't say anything, rather he just smirked.

All went well while eating ice cream, we had a great time! We took Henry to Emma's where he wanted to spend the night with her and his grandparents. We were pretty okay with it, because that meant us being alone.

We walked back home, into "our" home, and sat onto "our" couch.

"Daniel, I don't want to make you feel like, like you're pressured to be with me. After all, I've changed a lot since you died...I'm not the same sweet Regina you knew."

"I'm sure the same, sweet Regina is down there somewhere."

"I dont know Daniel, it's been...rough."

All of a sudden, every memory of every heart I'd ripped out came flooding back to me. Why would he ever want to love someone as cruel as me? He didn't even know what all had happened since he died, other than the curse.

"Daniel I've killed so many people...I just.."

"Shh." He shut me up by kissing me right on my lips. It was one of the nicer ways to tell someone to shut up, especially when it's him. The kiss, just didn't seem to end. They didn't need words anymore, he had heard what he needed to, and now all they both needed was love. They wanted to not stop, but they finally had to pull away for air. They both knew what was happening, they were making up for time lost. All they wanted to do was be with each other.

They went to bed together, for the first time in so long. It was such a great feeling for both of them.

The next morning, I woke up wrapped in his arms. He was still sound asleep, but I just wanted to lay there and watch him sleep. I wanted to re-memorize every detail of his face, his hair, everything.

I finally got up and made him some breakfast, pancakes with apple butter syrup.
No, not those apples!

He must've smelled them cooking, because in no time he was up and at my side with a greeting of a kiss. A goodmorning kiss, the amazing kind that are short and sweet, but last so much longer after that.

"What are you cooking, my dear?"

"Pancakes with apple butter syrup!"

"Apple butter syrup? I guess there's a first time or everything..."

"You'll love it. I actually make a lot of stuff with apples, they're my favorite food."

"Well that's good to know! I have faith in you!"

I turned around from the stove and saw him laughing to himself, smiling. It was the cutest thing ever.

"So, my queen, what are we going to do today?" He sounded so sarcastic when he said queen, it's like he couldn't believe the sweet little Regina he knew could possibly be so evil.

"Well, Henry is with the Charmings for the day, so we have a whole day to ourselves. It's Saturday, I have no work to do, and we need to do something!" I caught myself watching him eat again, and started babbling. This giddy adolescent seems to keep coming out in me.

"How about we just curl up and watch this 'movie' thing you told me about?"

"That sounds great."

Just a lazy day for the two of them, that'll be so nice. No worries, no issues, just a couch, blanket, and a good movie.

Kind of.

Still both in our pajamas, I got out a classic Disney movie, "Cinderella". I had always loved the character Maleficent in it…

I grabbed a blanket from the hall closet, and went downstairs to join my love who was currently staring down the "magical box". It was odd watching him learn about these new world things, I had become so adapt that I forget he's from a totally different time era!

"Do you want anything to drink?"

"No thanks, Regina. I just need you to come sit next to me."

There my heart went again, practically beating out of my chest. There was no way this man wasn't my true love.

30 minutes later

We were only a few minutes into the movie, and I was already starting to get sleepy. I reached my head over and laid it on Daniel's chest, I could hear his heart beating. This made actual tears come to the Evil Queen's eyes. He really was alive, I finally did it.

He reached down and kissed me by surprise, "You still have the same smell about you."

"Oh yeah? What is that smell?"

"Apples. I always remember you smelling like apples."

I kind of smirked and thought if you only knew…

I reached up and kissed him back, "Is that a good thing?"

"Of course."

He reached down and kissed me, again. This time longer and more passionately, which made my heart start thumping again. Turned out, we weren't really watching too much of the movie, we were having a kiss fest instead of a film fest.

We couldn't stop. I missed being able to kiss someone I truly loved. I missed kissing him and seeing his eyes when I open mine, and his nose, and his whole face. Every detail of his face made me want to kiss him more. By now, things were getting a little spicy…if you know what I mean. After all, we are going to get married any day now.

"Daniel," I broke the kiss off, gulping for air.

"Yes?"

"How about we go somewhere better?"

Back upstairs we went.
