A/N Told you all I would have another chapter up soon! I already had this one mostly done when I posted yesterday's. Enjoy!

Almost three weeks had passed since Granny's heart attack and Regina had hardly had time to think. If she wasn't with Henry she was at the diner working in the kitchen. It had become apparent that the kitchen was not a good place for Ruby so she had taken over waiting the tables during Regina's regular shift. Ms. Ginger had offered to come and help in the later evenings so Regina could still get time with Henry, but Regina had taken over weekends for the time being.

David had gotten Henry off the bus everyday and taken him back to the shelter to work with him until Ms. Ginger could relieve her. She didn't know what she would have done without him. He still came in for his regular breakfast and had been eating it in the kitchen because it had been about the only time he had been able to see her. He was such an amazing man. He had done so much to help her with Henry since Granny's heart attack and between the diner and Henry she had barely been able to give him an hour. He did all of this for her never once expecting anything in return. How the hell did she get so lucky?

Dr Whale had released Granny to come back to work but had ordered that she couldn't work many hours at a time and needed to take it easy. She was in the kitchen now telling Regina how to make the pancake batter properly…never mind that she had been making it herself for three weeks Regina thought with some amusement. She allowed Granny to fuss though for no other reason then she was so happy to see her back again.

"Now, Regina" Granny said seriously "About your schedule. Now that I am back I see no reason you can't go back to working the same times as you did before." Regina opened her mouth to speak but Granny continued. "I have talked to a young lady named Jane who is back home from college for the summer. She will be taking over morning waitressing shift and I will use you in the kitchen. I will come in everyday to relieve you in time for you to get Henry off the bus." Regina opened her mouth again but Granny simply held up a hand signifying she wasn't finished. "As for weekends, you have them off again starting this weekend. I have asked Ms Ginger to come in and assist me as she will also be doing for in the evenings for a while."

"Granny, I really don't mind helping out until your feeling up to being by yourself."

"I know you don't dear, but you have a life and I want you to get back to it." Granny patted her hand. "Tomorrow is Friday, why don't you go out with that handsome man of yours? I know the two of you haven't had much time together recently."

Regina smiled a little shyly, "No we haven't. I miss him. He's been so wonderful through all of this, he's been such a help with Henry."

Granny smiled "David's a good man Regina and its pretty obvious how much he loves that sweet little boy of yours. Spend some time with him tomorrow. I know he misses you."

Regina grinned, "Henry's friend Robert's mother just called me and asked if Henry could have a sleepover with him tomorrow night."

"Well then I would say that tomorrow would be the perfect time." Regina laughed when Granny gave her a wink.

Regina left the diner feeling excitement about a night with David. She wanted to plan something special for him and she wanted it to be a surprise. She walked up to the animal shelter finding a note left on the door that David and Henry had taken Molly to the park. She turned to walk in that direction thinking of ways she could make a night with David extra special. An idea hit her as she walked and she changed directions to head towards a little shop just off main street.

After making her purchase and dropping her bag off at her car she turned to head toward the park pulling her phone out of her pocket as she went. Another idea had hit her while she was in the store.

"Hello Emma" She said when the other woman picked up the phone. "I'm planning something special for David and was wondering if you might be able to help me with something."

She had almost made it to the playground by the time she hung up with Emma. She heard laughter coming from the castle, but she couldn't understand what was being said. She walked closer and saw David and Henry but neither had noticed her presence just yet.

"Give in now Joker! You will never beat me!" Henry yelled at David.

David gave a menacing laugh. "You may be strong Batman, but you will never be able to overcome my power over Gotham City!"

"We'll see about that" Henry stated and Regina's heart stopped when he jumped at David from the platform of the castle. It started beating again when David caught him easily then feigned a dramatic fall to the ground with Henry on top of him. Molly was happily running around both of them barking loudly.

"You've done it." David croaked "You've defeated me."

"We did it Molly!" Henry yelled "We defeated the Joker!"

"Well done Batman." Regina called out.

Henry and David both looked up at he voice.

"Mom!" Henry called out running to her. He wrapped his arms around her as she leaned down and placed a smacking kiss to his cheek. "Did you see me defeat David…I mean The Joker?"

She laughed "I did, it was quite impressive."

David had pulled himself off the ground and made his way to her.

"Hey" Henry said "You're supposed to be dead."

"I was revived by the sight of a beautiful woman." He grinned at Henry before turning to give Regina a light kiss.

Henry let out a breath. "I guess me and Molly will have to figure out another way to defeat The Joker, but be afraid…we will succeed!"

He ran off calling his trusty side kick Molly with him.

David turned back to Regina. "God I've missed you." he leaned in for another kiss pulling her close to him.

"I've missed you too!" Regina brought her hands up around his neck. "Which is why I'm hoping that you'll tell me you will come to dinner tomorrow." She leaned in and kissed him again. "I'm making lasagna." She wasn't going to tell him that Henry wouldn't be there. That would be part of the surprise.

"Mmm, that sounds good." he smiled down at her.

"Wait till you taste dessert." She pulled him in for another kiss.

She had gone straight to the apartment after getting Henry off the bus. They quickly packed up his things. She had told him of his sleep over last night once David had left and he had been unbelievably excited to hear of his weekend plans. When Robert and his mother Lily had come to pick him up, Regina had invited them in and talked with Lily while Henry took Robert to see his collection of comic books.

Once they had left Regina got to work finishing up putting her plans together for the evening.

She had just finished changing when she heard the knock on the door. She looked in the mirror nervously once more before heading down the stairs and pulling the door open.

David had started to speak when the door swung open but lost all thought when he looked at her. She was standing in front of him in a deep purple dress. It was sleeveless and had a plunging neckline that automatically drew his eyes to the swell of her breasts. It clung beautifully to every curve of her body and ended just below mid thigh. His gaze traveled down her gorgeous legs to find sexy black stiletto heels.

David cleared his throat. "It would appear I am underdressed." He looked down at his jeans, grateful at least that he had put on the stripped button up shirt. While it wasn't dressy it wasn't his normal flannel.

She smiled a little shyly. "I wanted to surprise you."

He stepped closer putting his hand on her waist and pulling her to him. "Well you certainly succeeded there." He leaned in and gave her a kiss. "You look amazing."

He followed her into the apartment noticing the candles she had burning at the table and looked around. "I take it Henry isn't here?"

She shook her head. "No he's sleeping over at a friends." she told him as she pulled the lasagna out of the oven.

David's heart rate increased some when he realized he was going to be spending an evening alone with her. God how he had wanted this.

She brought the lasagna to the table. "I had originally thought I would take you out as a way to thank you for being so wonderful the past few weeks, but then I thought a night in might be more fun so I made dinner, and rented some movies." she smiled at him. "Oh and I got a surprise for you yesterday too."

"A surprise?" he moved towards her. "I love surprises. What did you get me?"

"I guess you'll just have to wait and see." She gave him a light kiss. "Hungry?"

"Mmmhmm" he murmured as he lowered his mouth back to hers in a seductively slow kiss.

Regina pulled back breathless, "Then we should probably eat before it gets cold."

He pulled out her chair for her and she sat down. After serving them both lasagna they settled in to eat their food.

"This is amazing Regina! Where did you learn to cook so well?"

"I used to spend time in the kitchen with our cook when I was a child. She was so sweet and patient as she taught me. I loved spending time with her." She reminisced.

David made quick work of his food and went back for a second helping. Regina told him about Granny and how she was getting along now that she was back. David told her of the foal that had been born that morning out at the stables.

After finishing David stood up to clear the dishes. Regina got up to help but he refused telling her that since she cooked it was up to him to clean up. She followed him to the kitchen and leaned against the counter as he rinsed them.

"So" she said while he dried his hands "What we do next is up to you…We could either watch a movie or I can give you your surprise."

He turned and leaned back against the counter as well and looked at her. "I think I will take my surprise now."

She smiled, that's what she had hoped he would say, but now that he had she felt incredibly nervous. "Well you'll have to unwrap it…in a manner of speaking."

His curiosity was peaked and he smiled. "Well, where is it?"

She smiled shyly as she looked at him. "Under my dress."

His eyes went wide when she answered him. He was speechless for a moment as he stared at her. His heart began pounding in every part of his body. "Under your dress?"

She nodded and stepped towards him wrapping her arms around his neck. "Would you like to see?"

He cleared his throat as she feathered soft kisses along his jaw. "Yes. I would very much like to see."

"You'll have to unzip me" she whispered in his ear as she nibbled on his earlobe.

He reached his hands around behind her and pulled the zipper down her back. She stepped back and pulled the dress off her shoulders letting it fall to the floor. All David could do was stare as his gaze ran up her body. She was standing in front of him in black lace lingerie. The top was cut low with a hot pink trim that barely covered her breasts. The lace covered her stomach and went all the way down to the top of her thighs where he saw matching lace panties underneath. There were two hot pink ribbons that started just under her breasts and were laced like a corset on each side all the way down to the bottom of the garment. He stood speechless.

"Well?" she asked feeling nervous and hoping that he liked it.

He cleared his throat as he continued to stare at her. "Regina do you know CPR?"

She looked at him in confusion. "Yes. Why?"

"Because I think you are going to have to restart my heart." a grin spread across his face as he stepped towards her. "Do you have any idea how gorgeous you are?" he asked as he pulled her close to him and kissed her softly. "You are by far the sexiest woman I have ever seen in my life." he ran his hands up the lace as he kissed her again. "And I want nothing more at this moment then to take you upstairs and make love to you."

Her breath hitched as he ran his hands over her body. "Then why don't you?"

He moved quickly putting his arm under her knees and scooping her up off the floor. She laughed as her stomach jumped at the sudden move. He brought his lips down to hers in a passionate kiss as he made his way up the stairs to her bedroom. Once there he set her back down on her feet where she kicked off her heels and wrapped her arms around him pulling him down to her for a kiss. He was running his hands over the lace and her breath caught when he brought his mouth down to kiss the skin just above the top.

He wanted her, more then he had ever wanted anything in his life. She looked incredible and he wanted his hands all over her.

She moved her hands to unbutton his shirt and once she pushed it off his shoulders moved to pull the t-shirt that was underneath over his head. She trailed kisses along his chest as she ran her hands up and down the smooth skin.

He needed her naked…now…He pulled back to look at her once again in the lace, taking in the sight of her. "Regina?" he said pulling her back to him. "How do I get this off?"

She chuckled a little breathlessly. "There are clasps in the back." she breathed out as she pulled at his belt.

He moved his hands behind her and feeling the small hooks began to undo them. Once he had them free he stepped back, pulled the straps down her shoulders and let it fall. He stayed where he was a moment looking at her as she stood in front of him in only a pair of lace underwear. He pulled her into him and whispered. "You take my breath away." He kissed her again long and slow.

She worked at the button of his pants and once she had it open she pushed them and his boxers down. She reached out and ran her fingers along the length of him which had him taking in a sharp intake of breath.

He pushed down her panties and she stepped out of them gracefully before he lowered her onto the bed. She laid on her back as he hovered over her lowering himself down for another deep kiss. He trailed kisses down her torso stopping at her breast to bring her nipple into his mouth. She moaned and arched her back as he brought his other hand up to tease the other nipple and run it between his fingers. When she breathed out his name he grinned and switched sides wanting to give each his equal attention.

What the hell was he doing to her? Regina thought to herself as she instinctively arched her back into his mouth. No one had ever made her feel like this before. No one had made her want like this. She moaned as he trailed kisses along her stomach while keeping both hands on her breasts continuing to tease her nipples and causing wetness to pool between her legs.

Her body was better then David ever could have imagined and he had imagined it a lot. She was perfect and he loved the way she responded to his touch. He removed a hand from her breast and brought it down between her legs finding her warm and wet. He wanted her so much it hurt, but he wanted to taste her first.

When his hands had moved between her legs Regina had let out a gasp at the contact. She couldn't stop the groan as he slipped his fingers inside of her. He had trailed kisses all the way down her abdomen and when he reached her thighs he spread her legs and feathered more kisses on the insides of them still moving his fingers inside of her. She nearly shot off the bed when he placed his mouth over her clit and sucked. She came hard and fast and he continued his ministrations for a moment while she rode out the orgasm.

Her legs were still shaking when her brought himself back up her body once again stopping at her breasts to place light kisses on them before making his way back up to her lips where he took her in a deep kiss before sliding himself into her. He let out a groan as he felt her silky walls surround him.

She pulled her arms tight around him as she felt him fill her. She never wanted to let him go. She never wanted this feeling to stop. She turned her face into his neck and kissed him as she felt her body heading towards another peak.

He could stay like this forever. He never again wanted to let this woman go. He felt her muscles contract around him as she came again. He loved that he could do this to her. He loved that he could bring her such pleasure. He tensed as he allowed himself to go with her.

He collapsed on top of her breathing hard as she pulled her arms tight around his shoulders. He started to shift off of her, but she held him in place. "Don't leave yet." she murmured.

He smiled against her neck and placed a light kiss there before moving his head to take her mouth in a another deep kiss.

She sighed when he pulled back. "Could we just stay like this forever?"

David smiled at her. "It's ok with me."

She looked into his eyes as he smiled down at her. "I love you David."

He had started to lean down to nibble on her ear, but when he heard her words he froze. He hadn't told her how he felt about her. There had been so many times he had wanted to, but was afraid he would scare her away, but here she was laying under him and she had just said the words he had been so longing to hear. He pulled back to look at her face.

"You do?" he asked as she nodded. He brought his lips to hers in a light kiss. When he pulled back to look at her again he smiled. "Will you tell me again?"

She smiled. "I love you."

His smile grew even wider as he rolled off of her pulling her with him as he went so their positions were now reversed and she was sprawled over the top of him. "One more time."

She grinned down at him placing a smacking kiss to his lips. "I love you David Nolan."

He brought his hands up to her face. "I love you so much Regina." he leaned up to kiss her when he saw tears form in her eyes. "I've loved you since the first moment I saw you when I nearly ran you over at the diner. When you looked up and smiled at me I remember thinking it should be illegal for anyone to be that beautiful." She laughed at the memory.

She traced her fingers along the side of his face. "Will you tell me again?"

He brought his arms around her waist and smiled at her. "I love you."

She continued to grin at him. "Did you like your surprise?"

He let out a laugh as he moved his hands to run them over her bottom. "I think that was probably the best surprise I have ever gotten." he leaned up to kiss her. "I loved it! Maybe I can see it on you again sometime soon."

She let out a contented sigh and rested her head on his chest as he rubbed her back. She had never in her life been this happy. Making love to him and been one of the most wonderful things she had ever experienced. There was a voice nagging in the back of her mind. It was the voice of her ex-husband. She inwardly cursed herself for allowing him to intrude on this moment, but couldn't stop the thought. David had brought her so much pleasure. She wanted more then anything to please him as well.

"David?" she said quietly.

"Hmm?" he answered as he continued to rub her back. He felt so content with her on top of him.

She looked up at his face. He had his eyes closed and there was a half smile on his lips. "Was that…I mean…did you…" she shook her head when he opened his eyes to look at her. She blushed deeply. "Did you enjoy that?…Making love to me I mean?"

David blinked and looked at her noting the insecure look that had come over her face. He brought his hand up to her cheek. "Regina, of course I enjoyed it." He gave her a genuine smile. "You were incredible. Why would you think that I didn't?"

She looked down a little shyly. "Well, it's just that I have only ever been with one man until you and…He never…he didn't" she let out a frustrated breath. "I wasn't very good at it." she sighed "I just love you so much and I want more then anything to please you." She brought her hand up and brushed her fingers along his cheek. "I want you to enjoy being with me."

That bastard, David thought as he looked into her unsure eyes. Here was this amazing woman who had only ever given herself to him and instead of cherishing her, instead of telling her everyday how amazing and beautiful she was he had hurt her in so many more ways then just physically. He wrapped his arms tight around her. If it took the rest of his life he was going to make her understand how special she was.

"Regina, that man was a fool." David said as he waited for her to look back in his eyes. "You are the most amazing, beautiful and passionate woman I have ever known. Just looking at you brings me pleasure." She smiled a little at him. "But making love to you Regina was quite possibly the most amazing experience of my life" he leaned up to kiss her "and I'm already looking forward to doing it again…a lot ." he grinned at her.

She smiled down at him. "I love you David." she brought her lips down to his.

"I love you too Regina."

David sat at the kitchen table with Regina snuggled on his lap, both of them eating one of the brownies she had made for dessert. He had pulled on his jeans and she was wearing only his shirt. God she looked sexy in it he thought to himself as he took another healthy bite of his brownie.

"So what time do we have to pick Henry up tomorrow?" He asked her as he popped the last bit in his mouth.

"Well we don't." When he lifted his brow she continued. "I actually worked it out with Emma that she is going to pick him up and is going to keep him another night. I really wanted to spend some time with you and decided we should take the whole weekend. It's the first time I've ever been away from Henry for more then one night at a time, but I'm expecting you to distract me from that." she grinned at him "They are planning to take care of things at the shelter for you too. Oh, and Emma packed a bag for you with all the essentials."

"Wait a minute" David stated "So am I to understand that I get you for the whole weekend? All alone? No place we have to go?"

She grinned at him. "Whatever will you do with me?"

His hand slipped under her shirt. "Oh I have some ideas."

She laughed as she lowered her lips to his.
