A/N: A big moment for Regina & Tori as well as James! I hope you guys like it!

Regina and Tori sat on a bench a little ways away from the park, they watched Roland and Henry play tag on the jungle gym with James, it really melted Tori's heart to see that. Over the few weeks of being in the states she got to know her little brothers who literally mean the world to her, she grew up by herself, an only child and now having two younger brothers was amazing. Regina shifted on the bench watching her daughter intently. Tori felt Regina's gaze and stared at her hands, she blinked a few times then turned to her mother.

"He makes me happy." Tori began, her eyes wet from tears, "I don't know what I'm doing with him." She whispered

"Oh honey." Regina said grasping her hands, "What do you mean?"

"I never had a relationship, they were all just nameless faces to add to my ever growing collection." Tori said, Regina's eyes widened, just how much people had she slept with? She was just 18 after all, but it was best not to ask.

"I think I want him to be happy." Tori said a few tears escaping, this whole explaining her feelings thing literally hurt her, but it was a start. "I don't think I can be that person that he wants, I know we've known each other very shortly but-" she paused, "but he's different he actually cares about what I'm feeling, it isn't just sex with him, he wants more and-and I don't know how to function." Tori said looking up at her mother. Regina was silent for a moment.

"I know this is a very awkward conversation because I just revealed to you that we had, had sex, I'm really sorry about that-"

"It's okay, it's a shock but what's happened in the past should stay there, like I said before I am not going to be the person to judge you based on your previous decisions Tori but it kills me as a mother." Regina said, "I must confess ever since you got here I was afraid that you would hate me, that you didn't want to be my daughter-"

"Oh mum, that isn't true." Tori said squeezing Regina's hand. Regina's breath hitched, that was the first time she had called her that.

"I didn't think I could get through to you." Regina continued with a small smile, her own tears betraying her, "But here you are, you are absolutely perfect in every way possible Victoria." Regina said in a soft whisper, "It pains me to know that you've faced many challenges and I couldn't help you get through them but I won't let it happen anymore."

"You say you don't think he will be happy but I know you would be such a wonderful person for that young man, you have your flaws but so does he, you both need an honest relationship, I wish I had that with your father Tori." Regina said, "Don't ever be scared to love someone, be scared that you didn't get a chance to fall in love."

Tori let go a breath and smiled through her tears, "You are so amazing, I can't fathom how amazing you are, it's unbelievable. Mum you deserve so much, you deserve the world, your kindness is wonderful and just amazing, I know I'm repeating myself but god, I wish dad would get his head out of his ass and mend things with you." Tori said, Regina couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'll tell you something Tori." Regina said

"Yes?"

"You know through these years he visited me only once about five years ago." Regina started to say, "He came back and we had an amazing time." She stopped to take a breather she hadn't told anyone about this outside of her small circle of family. Tears began to fill her eyes again, Tori gazed at her mother intently not knowing what she meant, "I-I" she paused to compose herself, "Your brother Roland was conceived during your father's trip." Regina said softly, Tori's eyes went wide, her hand shot straight to her mouth she gasped.

"You got pregnant from dad?" Tori asked, Regina nodded and bit her lip more tears spilled from her already wet eyes

"I didn't tell you father about him, when I found out he was gone and didn't bother to say goodbye, at the time I didn't think he deserved to know." Regina said

"Oh mum." Tori said scooting closer to Regina and throwing her arms around her mother squeezing her tight. They stayed locked in their embrace for a while.

"I'm sorry Tori, did I give you advice that will help you? We got a bit carried away." Regina said

"Yes more than you'll ever know mum." Tori said, "Listen, I want to tell you about my past the full truth but not here, not in this moment, but very soon."

"I'll be here, always." Regina said kissing her forehead, "Now go talk to James, you don't know how long he's going to be here, I'm going to take the boy's to get some ice cream I think we all deserve some, join us after."

"Okay." Tori said, the two fixed themselves, twenty minutes had passed, Regina told the boys of the plans and the three left the two alone. Tori took a seat on a swing, James sat next to her, they swung in silence for a moment.

James hopped off and stood in front of Tori she hopped off her brows knitted together in confusion.

"What's wrong my lord?" she teased

"That's just it." He sighed, it was now or never, Regina was right he didn't want to have a relationship based off a lie, that wouldn't be the admirable thing to do. "Here it goes." He sighed

"Hello, my name is James Wellington, I am a servant for the King." James said, Tori gasped, "I am nothing special, I'm not a famous actor nor can I play an instrument well, I do however enjoy riding horses and being around my family, I love children and I would really, really like to take you out on a proper date, not princess Victoria of Locksley, just Tori because I think she's a wonderful girl and although I deceived her in the beginning I ask for a clean slate, I understand if you don't want to but-" he was silenced but her fingers pressed against his mouth.

"Hello, my name is Victoria Locksley, my father is royalty and my mother is a mayor, I have two amazing little brothers that I would do anything for even though I just met them, I have a family here in the states a solid group of people who actually love me, I have never been good at relationships or expressing my feelings but I would love to try and change that, I have my flaws just like anyone else, I am nowhere near perfect although my mum thinks so." James chuckles, she smiles, "I enjoy art and love to create things, I would love to get to know you more although we've talked a lot over the few weeks, but yes I would love to go out with you on a proper date." Tori said smiling

"You would?" James said, Tori chuckled

"Yes, yes I would."
