Author Note: This is an important Chapter, Regina realizes something. I hope you all enjoy, The rating is Teen right now but later in this Story I might change it to Mature. I have yet to decide, for now it is T.

Was it the sorry look twinkling within the man's eye? Or was it just she wanted to vent to someone? Honestly, Regina had no idea what part of her allowed this charming man into her home- she had just put Henry to bed as it was going on eight and she had checked in, by mirror, on Snow. When David had shown up she knew they were in a fight.

"Why did you come here, Char- David?" He followed the brunette into a small study that hung off of the living room.

"I-I'm fighting with Snow right now."

"Yes, I am well aware."

"Though you do not know the exact reason. We did kill your Mother," he confessed making the woman grimace, "And I am sorry, Snow isn't. She refuses to be and I don't think that it's very fair."

"Fair to..." Regina looked confused, why would he be sorry to her? She had never hated Charming for himself, in fact she found him handsome, she hated him because he was with Snow. He made her happy.

"You. It's not fair to you, Regina."

"Why would you care? You hate me." Attitude cloaked her words, she was confused and one thing Regina did not enjoy was being confused- it made her feel weak.

Hate? Charming jumped up at the words and crossed over to where Regina was standing, whiskey in hand. He stood face to face, less than a foot away from her. He towered over the shorter brunette, even when she had high heels on.

"Regina, I've never hated you. Ever. I've always found you..." Stop.

"Always found me...?" She was curious, did he find her sweet, pretty, gorgeous, perfect?

"I've always found you surreal, insanely perfect. You used to drive me insane in the Enchanted Forest with those dresses of yours. You are beautiful."

Regina took a piercing breath in. Never in her life had she heard someone, other than Leopold while he was drunk, call her perfect. Though, she also never imagined that Prince Charming had yearned for The Queen while he wasn't fighting with Snow.

That's when her thoughts were interrupted by a pair of lips meeting hers. They were soft, the sensation was amazing. It felt like a real loving kiss, not a kiss just for the sake of it- it was a kiss caused by true emotions.

Charming pulled away, but kept his eyes locked on hers, "You're an amazing kisser."

"Why thank you, Prince Charming. You're quite good at the act yourself."

Then it was all rushed, they weren't in the study anymore. They got themselves to her bedroom and then in was all in a moment before they were lost in loving embrace.

Regina took control most of the time, she was on top- straddling his waist. She went from his lips to neck to chest, kissing with warm lips. She had never imagined that this would happen, she always wanted a Prince Charming to love her and now maybe she had one. That is unless Snow demands him back.

Sleep hit Regina like a rock. Her back faced him and so he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her from closer. Her warmth comforted him and just as Regina, sleep hit him like a rock.

Morning came faster than expected and in a moment the brunette's eyes opened to find strong arms wrapped tightly around her stomach. Light breaths hit the back of her neck, her arms pushed the arms off of her so she was able to sit up.

His mind came to and he came to realize that a weight was straddling his stomach and a warm pair of lips were connecting with his. Green eyes opened and soft lips cooperated with warm ones.

She broke the connection, "Good morning."

"Morning," He sat up to stretch after she had gotten off of him, "What time is it?"

"Seven, but It's Monday and Henry needs to go to school."

"What are we going to-"

"We'll say that you got into a fight with Snow and that you have to stay here for as long as he fight lasts."

He chuckled, "Is that you inviting me to stay?"

"Maybe."

Regina left the room to go wake up Henry and directly after went to get ready. Thirty minutes past and Charming was waiting down in the kitchen.

Heels echoed through the front foyer as they came towards the kitchen, "What do you want for breakfast?"

He was stunned. Her dressed was deep blue, no sleeves and came to just the middle of her thigh. A gold chain was around her neck and black patent pumps made her legs look long.

"David? Are you staring?" Red tinted her face.

"Uh. No, a little," he laughed at her blushing face, "As for breakfast I like eggs and bacon."

"So, eggs, bacon and how about toast?"

"Toast is good."

She set breakfast on the table just as Henry came bolting down.

"David?" The boy looked confused. Sure, his Mother promised to be good, though he didn't expect breakfast guests.

"Hey, Bud." Charming glanced to Regina to explain the situation.

"Henry, Snow and Charming got into a fight last night. So, David will be staying here for as long as the fight lasts," Regina stated as she took her seat at the head of the table.

"Really? That's awesome," Henry exclaimed as he took his seat to the right of Regina, where he has always sat.

They ate in comfortable silence, nothing like the silence that loomed over the breakfast with Cora. It was a happy silence that was sometimes broken by the scraping of a fork or the clink of a glass.

The breakfast was enjoyable, Regina found that she actually was glad that Charming was staying there.

Breakfast was finished and Henry was waiting for Regina by the front door, "Ready for school?" She grabbed her car keys off an end table that sat in front of an ornate mirror in the front foyer.

"I don't like School," his reply was simple and was filled with gloom- while his eyes were filled of tiredness.

"I know, but you need to go. You've skipped multiple days already, Henry."

"I know."

The black 560 SL Mercedes Benz was warm due to the fact that David being the charming man that he is started it before breakfast. It read: 7:58 a.m on the car clock , school started at eight-ten- just on time.

The morning drive to drop off Henry was always dreadfully dull and slow- other than the breakfast with Cora, the drive to school was the only time that Henry rarely talked. He was always extremely tired even though Regina assured that he was asleep before eight-thirty.

The car came to stop in front of "Storybrooke Elementary School" and Regina turned to face Henry, "Have a good day."

His look reminded her of the look he used to give her when he was younger and she tried to get him to eat all of his vegetables. It was the "are-you-being-serious-you-expect-me-to-..." face.

"Sure. That's going to be more of challenge than me staying awake."

"I love you."

He began to get out of the car, though stopped to say back, "Love you too!"

She had decided to not go home right away, instead she wanted to go to her office. Not yet had anyone taken the job as mayor, so the office was still hers and would always be. It was one of her many places to go to relax.

The tree wallpaper and horse statues reminded her of home- which made her relax. Her other places were her vault- which surrounded her with familiar things from her reign as Queen- and Henry's room.

After a while of pacing she realized what she was feeling. She hadn't felt it for quite a while now and it made her feel happy again. She was feeling loved by Charming. The weird thing was she felt that she loved him back. The Evil Queen loved Prince Charming and Prince Charming loved The Evil Queen.
