Side Note- For those of you who are still confused about how Regina had Claire...Regina had a sperm donor. Hope this clears up any confusion! Enjoy :)
On the drive over, Claire continued to sing along to one of Regina's CDs from the backseat. Regina would glance into the rearview mirror to check on her with the occasional smile in Claire's direction. As they pulled into the Charming's driveway, Claire began to undo herself from her car seat.
Regina glancing back at her from the rearview mirror caught this, "What are you doing?" Claire instantly froze at her mother's stern voice. "You know not to take off your seatbelt until we have come to a full stop."
Regina put the car into park and turned her body to face Claire with a stern look. Claire continued to slowly unfasten herself despite her mother's look that told her otherwise. Claire smiled, "We stopped."
Before Regina had a chance to say anything, she heard a tap on her window. She turned her head towards the sound and her mood instantly changed. Henry stood with a smile before opening up the door to the backseat to let Claire out.
Regina got out of the car with a smile and hugged him, "I missed you!" She continued to hold him close for a few more seconds before she had to let him go. "How has school been going?"
Henry chuckled at his mom because they talked almost every day if they didn't meet up some place in Storybrooke to talk in person. "Good," he paused to pick up his little sister who giggled like crazy, "Mary Margaret has been helping me with my homework."
Claire put her arms around her brother's neck once Henry situated her on his back. Regina smiled at them, "I am glad you are doing well." She looked over at the door then back at her son, "Is anybody else home?"
Henry nodded, "Just Emma. It's her day off, but only because David thought she needed the break."
Claire began to bounce in excitement, "We go inside, Henwry!" Regina and Henry both chuckled. Henry began walking towards the door, while Regina moved ahead of him to get the front door.
Henry walked in, "Emma, Mom is here and she brought somebody who is very excited to see you!" Claire struggled to get off of Henry's back, so Regina picked her up and set her on the floor where she ran towards Emma.
"Swan!" the little girl squealed in excitement as Emma picked her up and set Claire on her lap. Because Regina always called Emma "Miss Swan," Claire began to pick up the nickname for Emma.
"What are you guys doing here?" Emma smiled at Claire, but clearly directing the question towards Regina. Regina walked closer to Emma and took a seat in a chair beside the coach.
"We wanted to visit Henry and miss Claire loves seeing you," Regina watched her daughter interact with Emma, "though I don't know why." Emma smirked at Regina for that last comment before returning her attention back to Claire. Regina never understood Claire's fascination with Emma. She assumed they built a connection from Emma having to watch Claire for her sometimes.
Henry stood behind Regina's chair, "So, mom you're coming to my game next Tuesday, right?" Regina angled her body enough to see his face and smiled.
"Of course I'm going! I wouldn't miss watching you play," She was about to bring her hand up to touch his face, but stopped short. "With you being a fullback and all."
Henry chuckled and shook his head, "Forward." Regina couldn't believe she just messed that up. Sports were never her thing.
"Right," Regina smiled in embarrassment, but quickly composed herself. "What time is the game?"
"5:30 at the school," Henry smiled at his mom.
Emma watched Regina try to talk about sports with their son. "I can't believe you told him he plays a fullback. That's clearly a football position." Emma was trying to get Regina riled up. Regina gave Emma one of her famous evil queen glares.
"Miss Swan, must I remind you of the time you walked up to 'our son'," Regina used air quotes when she said our son, "and told him to pummel the other team. When in fact, that was a boy from the opposite team."
Emma slightly blushed, while Henry chuckled behind Regina. "Why do people keep bringing that up?" Regina smirked at her. "The kid looked like Henry's doppelganger."
Claire squinted her eyes and slightly cocked her head to the side in confusion. "What's a duppelranger?" Regina looked over at her daughter and giggled at the look Claire was giving them.
"A doppelganger, sweetie." Regina corrected. "It means somebody who looks a lot like your brother."
Her facial expressions made everybody chuckle in amusement as Claire absorbed that little bit of information.
The group continued to talk for an hour or so, when Regina looked down at her watch, "Well, thanks for having us over, but miss Claire and I should really get going," she smiled at her daughter who started to frown at the thought of leaving. Regina gave Claire a look as if to say 'don't you dare start something here.'
Regina got up, while Emma handed the little girl to Regina. "It was our pleasure," Emma looked over at Henry then back at Regina, "I guess I'll see you at Henry's game Tuesday."
Regina nodded with a smile, while she readjusted Claire on her hip. "Of course," she turned towards Henry, "I'll see you for dinner tonight?"
"I'll be there." Henry smiled before hugging his mother. Regina enjoyed these little moments with Henry because they were becoming less frequent. "See you later, mom."
Regina regretfully let him go, "See you later." She looked over at Emma with a smile and a wave before walking out to her car and driving back home. On the drive back, she glanced back at Claire who was singing along to another song. Regina smiled thinking that her life couldn't be any better than how it is right now.
