Emma sat in the bushes. She needed to make sure that Henry was okay. She had intended on catching Regina doing something wrong. It had been a week but nothing had happened. Henry went to school, Regina went to work, they ate together and talked. He gave her hugs and every time he did Emma saw tears form in Regina's eyes. Then, this morning, Emma saw Regina pack a bag and take Henry into her car. Emma followed them, assuming Regina had found a way to leave Storybrooke and that she was taking Henry. She didn't expect what she found. Regina and Henry on a horse and rode out to an empty clearing. Once there she set up a picnic.

Now Emma was hiding in the bushes. She watched as Henry laid down next to Regina. She was playing with his hair and looking at him with pure love. Henry was reading a book out loud. Every few minutes he would stop and talk to her. When he did she would smile a smile so bright that it almost made her look like a different person. After a few hours Regina packed up the picnic and helped Henry on his horse. Right before he got on he gave her a kiss and Emma though Regina might faint from happiness. She watched them ride off. He was happy and comfortable. Years ago Emma gave up Henry in hopes that he would have a better life. When she came to Storybrooke she thought that she had put him in an even worse condition than he would have had with her. Now she is not so sure. She wonders if Regina was like this before Henry got the book, and figured she was. His life with Regina was the life he deserved. Emma left the bushes and started walking to where she hid her car. Maybe her parents were right. She needed some time to rest, and then she would have a talk with Regina. It was time they came up with a custody arrangement.

Regina sat in her study with a drink. She had just dropped Henry off with David and he wouldn't be back until after school tomorrow. She was worried. Worried that he wouldn't want to come back. She sat in her chair and closed her eyes. Her rest was interrupted by the doorbell ringing. She got up and headed downstairs. She rushed towards the door, thinking that it was Henry. She opened the door and to her annoyance it wasn't Henry at the door. It was Hook.

"Hello love." He threw himself at Regina and kissed her. As he did he pushed her up against the wall. Regina burned him with fire that she produced from her hand.

"Get away from me pirate!" Hook looked at her sadly and knew he had hurt her.

"Regina, please. I'm sorry I pushed you away. I didn't want you to do something that you would regret." Regina looked at him and saw something she had never seen from him before. The look in his eyes was one she had seen many times before, every time she looked into the mirror. A loneliness that burns inside you. A sensation that leaves a hole in your heart. She walked up to him and kissed him lightly. He kissed her back and they headed towards her bedroom. He picked her up and placed her on the bed, gently. This gentleness was unlike either one of them. She pulled him close to her and kissed him again.

Being held was something she had never really experienced. Her time with Daniel was too short and all done in secret. Every other man she had been with had shown her no love, and she wanted no love from them. The sensation of being held close and being given soft kisses was something Regina didn't want to ever end. She turned around to kiss him again when her phone rang. She let out a sigh and picked up the phone.

"Regina. We need to talk."

"Ms. Swan. Did something happen? Is Henry okay?" Regina sat up and started grabbing her clothes.

"No, nothing happened. We need to talk."

"Fine. I'll be there in fifteen minutes." Regina put on her clothes and left her home.

Hook sat on the bed and chuckled. It was very like Regina to not say a word to him. He put on his clothes and headed towards his ship.

"Fine Ms. Swan. How do you want to do this."

"Mr. Gold said he told you that there was a way that Henry could leave Storybrooke one day."

"Yes. I traded him the rest of the pixie dust. In exchange he used some to make a potion that would allow Henry to come and go, with one companion, as he pleases. I have it locked away. When he is older I will use it so he can have a real life."

"He will need to go to college to have a life outside this town."

"Very good Ms. Swan. It seems that your parents stupidity didn't completely rub off on you."

Emma rolled her eyes. Typical Regina. "I'm not very good at school stuff. If he is going to need good grades, I can't help him." Regina looked at her. She knew that Emma was about to say something she didn't like. "Regina, I think that you should have Henry during the week, to help with schoolwork. " The surprise was written all over Regina's face.

"You are giving my son back?"

"You already have him back. All he talks about are the things he does with you."

Regina looked at her phone. "It's almost time to get Henry. I need to go." Regina got up and left. Emma chuckled. She figured that silence was like a thank you from Regina.

Henry sat at the dinning room table with his mom. She just told him that he would get to see all of his family regularly. He had never been happier.

"We will get our town back! The witch will be killed along with anyone else who gets in my way. That is a promise!" George finished his speech. Tomorrow his group would strike and take back Storybrooke.
