Graham came down the stairs and walked into to kitchen to see the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Regina had her black rimmed glasses on reading the newspaper which she held in one hand and while her other hand played with the back of Henry's head playing with the hair that was starting to grow a bit long. It was so beautiful seeing her so at peace. Then he finally noticed her outfit she was stunning in jeans it showed off her ass perfectly. Regina rarely ever wore jeans only when she was having a relaxing day which was every once in a blue moon.

"Hello, babe" he said which made her smile and he walked passed her kissing her cheek then making a straight line for the coffee maker Regina hummed "I love it when you call me that" "I noticed babe" turning around to face her leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee in a mug that said boss lady.

"I think you will find that is mine" Regina said in a playful tone setting her paper down and walking towards him. Taking the cup of his hand and taking a sip then turning around to lean back on his chest closing her eyes, relaxing her body against Graham. It amazed Graham how relaxed she was about this 'going public'. "Henry get ready for school, don't want to be late do we?" "Fine" dragging himself off his seat Henry had noticed the new interactions between his mother and Graham. She looked so happy he couldn't not smile himself.

Graham took the cup out of her hands and took a big gulp then set the mug on the counter. He then snuggled his head into her hair and wrapped his arms around her waist. Just as he was about to speak the doorbell went off. "That must be Suzanne, excuse me dear" lifting herself off him already missing the warmth he gave her, she made her way to the door. Opening the door she was met with a very shocked Suzanne she had never seen her boss dress like this it was very strange.

"Umm... Uh... Oh the files here you go, Miss Mills" handing over the files "thank you Suzanne" if Regina kept shocking her like that she was going to have a heart attack at that moment too Henry had come down the stairs he too was quite shocked. His mother never said thank you that kindly before, usually it would sound false or spit with venom.

"Mom I'm ready" "ok let's go" looking at her she was still wearing her jeans and t-shirt "you're going out like that?" Looking at herself and frowning in question "yea, why is it not nice?" "No! It's lovely just you never go out like that. I like it"

"Graham come on we need to get henry to school" Graham came out of the kitchen holding his car keys. "Let's take my car. Let henry roll up in style" Regina just rolled her eyes with the ghost of a smile playing on her lips.

...

The drive to the school was filled with playful banter between the trio but then it came for the time for Henry to go to school.

Henry was getting ready to get out when Regina turned to face henry "have a wonderful day at school, sweetheart" she turned back around and henry waited then a frown pulled on his face "aren't you forgetting something" "what?" She tilted her head to the side in confusion.

Henry turned his head to the side and tapped his cheek she got the idea and leaned over to kiss his cheek. "Love you!" Henry shouted as he hopped out of the car. Tears started to spill over her cheeks "he hasn't said that in forever" "well then it was high time that he said it" all she could do was smile.

After a few seconds later she heard graham clear his throat she looked over to see him tap his cheek. She leaned over to kiss his cheek when he turned and captured her lips instead. A gasp escaped her lips but she soon smiles into the kiss.

They soon break the kiss Graham smiles and says "Granny's?" "Yea" still smiling looking into his eyes.

...

He opened the door for her as she stepped into dinner when she pasted him she kissed his lips softly. She moved over to a booth in the corner and sat down with graham beside her when they finished ordering their meals the held hands over the table playing with each other's hand giggling softly every so often. When their food came they shared each other's food just like the sappy loved up people would do in the movies that Regina hates but now she loved it.

"I want to take you somewhere special" she smiled at him seeing so much love in his eyes "ok, my love".

...

He led her to a clearing in the forest the sun shone through the trees giving the area a heavenly look. They stood holding each other kissing in the sun light. When they parted she turned in his arms her back to his chest graham rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I love you" he could hold it back any longer he needed to tell her. All he could hear was a sharp intake of air from Regina. "Babe, you ok?"

She turned to face him with tears in her eyes "yes" she cupped his cheek and kissed him softly

"I love you too".

"You want to know why this place is special to me." She smiled even more "of course".

"It reminds me of home, a place far from here." Her smile started to drop a little "the name of that place was the enchanted forest" she gasped and pulled away from him but he was too quick and pulled her back. "What are doing? You should hate me for all that I have done"

"But I don't I was mad for a little while but then I chose to let it go and focus on you... On us. Don't you see, love. I chose to love you"

"I" kiss "love" kiss "you too" kiss. She couldn't be happier he wasn't mad at her.

"Regina I have loved you since I first saw you in the enchanted forest and here in Storybrooke. Will you do me the greatest honour of being my wife?"

"YES! Of course" she could stop herself from jumping and wrapping her arms around him. "She kissed I'm deeply. He parted his lips from her "let's go pick out a ring"

He held his arm out for her and she took it walked away with him. Neither noticing Miss Swan hiding behind a tree with a wicked smile on her face.
