I know it's been awhile but I'm getting ready for my college finals and the holidays are right around the corner so I've been busy but thanks for reading!

A week after christmas passed, I had decided to spend the night at my place. I hadn't been home in weeks, I loved spending time with my mom and little brother but I really needed some Fiona time. Plus something weird was happening with mom. She was acting really strange, she was having mood swings, hot flashes, and weird cravings.

I felt bad for leaving Henry there but it's every man for himself, I smirked at the thought of him being stuck there. I sat on my couch and turned the tv on, flipping through the channels when I got a text from a friend of mine, Aaron. He was Hook's son, and he wanted to come over. I replied telling him sure. I always found him to be handsome, during the curse we would spend a lot of time together hanging out.

He was my age, short black hair, beautiful baby blue eyes, his frame was flawless, and his voice was soft and soothing but still manly. After a few minutes my doorbell rang, "It's open!" I yelled because I knew it was him and I was too lazy to get up and answer the door. He came in, "Too lazy to get up huh?" I smirked, "Yep. You already know."

He walked over to where I was and stared at me for a moment with a smile on his face before he sat down next to me. "What brings you by?" I asked, turning toward him. He sighed and put his arm around me, "I know we haven't really talked because I was giving you the space and time to spend with your mom, but I couldn't stop thinking about you." He turned toward me and we looked each other in the eyes, "Really? I couldn't stop thinking about you either." A grin spread on my face. "That's all I needed to hear." He said before pulling me close by my chin and kissing me. I placed one hand on his back and the other on the back of his head. Eyes closed, hearts in tuned, lips locked, the connection was made. Only thing I wondered about now was, what was the next step.

After being wrapped in each other's embrace for so long, he looked down at me as I snuggled in his arms, "What's wrong?" I remained silent for awhile, trying to gather the right words to express my feelings. "Uhm...nothing." I shook my head after finally decided to just let things be. He picked my head up and brushed my hair out of my face, "Hey. You know you can tell me anything. What's on your mind?" Becoming teary eyed, I rested my cheek on his shoulder, "I'm just curious as to where our relationship will go next."

He chuckled, "Is that all? Well, I plan to continue seeing you like we've been doing, only now we get to call them dates." I glared at him before grinning myself, "You're such a dork." He returned the smile, "Yes but I'm your dork." I laughed and clenched onto him tighter, truth is, I didn't want him to let me go. We watched tv for an hour or so before my mom called me and it was just then that I realized how she would be displeased that I was dating, let alone dating Hook's son, who obviously had inherited his father's charm.

I jumped a little when the phone rang because I already knew who it was by the ringtone. "Oh crap...Ssshh! Be quiet." I picked up the phone, "Hello?" I trued to say as innocently as possible. "Hey sweetheart. I was wondering if you could watch Henry tonight? I have a meeting to go to and I won't be back until morning." I glanced at Aaron, trying to think of the right answer. I knew if I said no, she'd wonder what I would be doing. "Yeah sure..." Aaron raised his eyebrow at me, "Okay. We'll be there right now." And she hung the phone up.

I turned to him, "You have to get out of here! My mom-" Before I could finish my sentence she had poofed herself and Henry in the living room. "Damn! I forgot about her magic.." I muttered under my breath. Although I was terrified to glance up at my mother, I did anyway. She stood in front of us with Henry's hand in hers, her eyebrow furrowed and a frown beginning to form.

I could feel my heart beat gradually get faster, so fast I could feel it in my throat. Aaron and I stayed silent, "Uh Fiona...care to explain?" She said, tapping her heel on the floor. Henry just looked around before running off into the kitchen to grab a cookie. "It's not what you think mom..." I answered with a slight panic. I didn't know what she might do to him, so I needed to tread lightly.

"Oh it's not?" She was frowning with her arms crossed and she never took her eyes off me. Her stare, that infamous mother stare, sent chills down my spine, like it does to all kids. Her eyes were saying everything and I was just tongue tied. "I...I uh...well..." She huffed, "Yes dear, spit it out!" She was becoming impatient.

Aaron stood up, "Maybe I should go. It was a pleasure to see you again Regina, I'll call you later Fiona." He began walking to the door when I saw that look on her face. Her head was tilted, "Where do you thing you're going?! Oh no no no no. Stay. I insist!" And on that last word she had picked Aaron up by the throat. I jumped from the couch and ran to his aid, "Mom stop! Please! Let him go!"

I tried to break her grip but her magic was way too strong, "Re-regina! Ssstoop! Wha-what did I do?!" Aaron was clutching on to his neck where her invisible hands held him to his possible death. I was crying while trying to comfort him, "You and my daughter can never happen. Do you understand?!" She yelled before using her magic to hold my hands down at my side and levitate me in the air. "What are you doing? Mom let me go! Let us both go!" Henry stood in complete shock.

"I'm afraid I can't do that dear. There are some things a mother just has to do for her children and this is one of them." She switched her glance to Aaron, "You leave my daughter alone. Understood?" He was turning red, "I..I love her!" He yelled as loud as he could. She dropped him and looked between the both of us. I smiled even though she still had me in her grip, "Really Aaron?"

He was on the floor coughing, trying to regain air in his lungs, "Yeah. I do." He said before glaring at my mother. "You love her?" She then dropped me to the floor and before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, I saw that single tear run down her cheek. Henry and Aaron helped me up, "I'm so sorry about all of that." I said as I hugged him. He kissed me, "It's okay. For you, I would gladly give my last breath."

I couldn't help but stare into his icy blue eyes and say, "I love you too." Henry pretended to gag, "Eww. Get a room! This is worse than mom talking to her boyfriend the other day." I glanced down at Henry, "What did you just say?!" He shrugged, "Mom has a boyfriend. Don't tell me you didn't know." My eyes widened, "No I didn't! That explains some of what just happened.

Do you know who he is?" Henry shook his head, "Weird. My dad just got a new girlfriend too but I haven't seen her yet." Aaron said as he raised his eyebrow. My mouth dropped, "You don't think..." He shook his head, "Naaah. Wait. I hope not." All three of us just stood in awe.

The next morning I woke up on the couch with Henry snuggled under my arm snoring. Aaron was asleep on the love seat and the sight of them caused me to smile. I gently got up and placed a pillow where I was so Henry wouldn't notice and remain asleep. As I brewed some coffee, I couldn't stop thinking about last night. Why did my mom freak out like that? And who was this secret man she was seeing.

And then I got the idea to follow her, because I knew she wouldn't just flat out tell me who she was dating. I poofed the guys up some breakfast, changed clothes, and headed out. Awhile back I had charmed my watch to tell me where my family was if I was ever looking for them. Looking at it, I saw my mom sitting by the beach. I guess she was waiting for someone. I poofed myself onto Henry's castle and stayed quiet so I could listen. "Oh where is he?! He knows I can't be out here long." She huffed.

A guy walked up and sat next to her but I couldn't see who he was because he had on a big jacket, hat, and sunglasses. "There you are!" She cuddled under him. "And how are my two favorite people?" This mysterious man wrapped his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. His two favorite people?! My mouth dropped when I realized what he meant. I had to stop myself from fainting. She placed a hand on her stomach, "I'm only about 2 months so there isn't really much going on in there but we're fine."

I couldn't handle it, I poofed myself home and screamed as loud as I could. Henry and Aaron were eating when they were startled. "What's wrong honey?!" Aaron ran to me. I took a really deep breath and sighed, "Henry...mom is pregnant." Henry's fork dropped, "What?!" He yelled with food in his mouth. I just slowly nodded, "I couldn't tell who the man was because he had on glasses and a hat.

I didn't recognize his voice either. But we're going to find out very soon who this guy is." Henry was still speechless and Aaron paced in the kitchen, "What if it's my dad? Man I'm too old to be a big brother! And that would make us step siblings! Oh my gosh!" I grabbed his hand, "Hey. We'll get through this. We love each other." He smiled and kissed my hand, "You're right. The first step is to find out who the guy is and from there, we'll know what to do." I nodded in agreement and after calming ourselves, we were able to have a nice breakfast.
