Felix was awoken early the next morning by the smell of bacon and eggs frying on the stove. He sat up drowsily, his head swimming with confusion for a moment at the unfamiliar place he was in.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," Snow chimed pleasantly, leaning on the back of the couch and smiling down at the boy.

Felix glanced up at the woman with a slightly raised eyebrow, suddenly remembering all the things that had transpired the previous day and the conversation he and the brunette had just a few hours ago.

"How did you sleep?" She asked.

Felix rubbed at his eyes with the back of his hand before responding.

"Alright," he mumbled.

"Wonderful! Well, get up and get dressed. Breakfast will be ready shortly," Snow replied much too cheerfully for so early in the morning.

She walked back over to the stove. That was when Felix noticed Emma leaning against the counter next to it. She flashed him an awkward smile when she caught his eye and then turned her head to say something to Snow.

Felix tugged the blanket off of him and got to his feet, still a bit wobbly from sleep. Henry padded into the room already dressed but looking just as out of it as Felix. He flashed the older boy a brief, sleepy smile before heading over to the kitchen table and plopping himself down in a chair.

Felix made his way to the bathroom down the hall and ended up just changing into his clothes from the previous day. After being on Neverland for so many years and going weeks without changing clothes, it didn't bother him to wear the same thing twice.

Felix entered the living room again, noticing Emma was now sitting across from Henry at the kitchen table. Snow and David were setting the plates of eggs and bacon down on the table when the brunette woman suddenly caught Felix's eye. She smiled at him warmly.

"Come sit down," she called happily. "We're all ready to eat."

Felix walked over to the table, deciding to take the seat beside Henry. The younger boy flashed him another drowsy smile. Felix noticed there was now silverware on the table. He smirked a little in amusement.

"Alright, let's dig in!" Snow stated as she and David took their seats as well.

The food was good. It reminded Felix of the eggs they would often eat on Neverland. Of course, that made him think of Peter.

Felix let out a quiet breath realizing he still had another day and night to get through before the boy would return.

"So, what are your plans for today, sweetheart?" Snow's curious voice broke into his thoughts.

Felix glanced up at the woman to see her smiling warmly at him. He shrugged a shoulder.

"I thought about going down to the shipyard and looking around," he stated after a moment.

Felix didn't want to admit it but he was secretly hoping Peter might come back to Storybrooke early. Whenever Peter would leave Neverland to go to the Enchanted Forest, he often told Felix how long he planned to be gone. Sometimes he would come back early though. Whether Peter knew he would be arriving on that day and simply said otherwise, Felix wasn't sure.

"Oh, that sounds fun!" Snow exclaimed, cutting a piece of egg with her fork. "Ariel and Eric live close to there. Maybe you could visit them."

Felix cocked an eyebrow ever so slightly but said nothing. He hadn't spoken to the mermaid at all on Neverland. He guessed with her memory, she probably wouldn't even know who Felix was. Felix had never met Eric nor was he really keen on making new friends. Peter was the one that had always been good with introductions and conversations. Felix just felt awkward around people he didn't know.

"I can come with you," Henry pipped in, suddenly looking more awake.

"You have school today, kid," Emma reminded him with a lighthearted, scolding expression. Henry groaned a little.

"Can't I miss just one day?" He asked with an innocent smile.

"You've already missed plenty of days," Emma sighed, raising an eyebrow. "Oh. Don't forget. You're staying with Regina tonight."

"I know," Henry replied with a roll of his eyes. Like he would ever forget about his other mom. He suddenly looked over at Felix. "You can stay with us if you want. I don't think my other mom would mind."

Snow must have noticed the suddenly tense atmosphere and the way Felix's jaw clenched because she quickly let out an awkward laugh.

"OR you can stay with us tonight. We would love to have you over again. Wouldn't we?" She asked, turning a smile onto Emma.

Emma glanced up at her briefly before looking over at Felix with the sides of her lips quirked upwards and nodding her head firmly.

"Yeah, sure."

Snow turned her gaze onto her husband then. The man suddenly looked up from the egg he was cutting with wide eyes.

"I'm sorry?" He asked.

"I said that we would love to have Felix stay with us another night, wouldn't we?" Snow repeated, her eyes narrowed pointedly as they locked with her husband's.

David glanced over at Felix before forcing a smile.

"Of course."

Snow's expression immediately warmed as she turned her gaze back onto the blonde male. Felix simply shot her a small smile back. He actually planned on staying the night in his room above the diner. Since Peter was supposed to come back tomorrow morning, Felix didn't want to risk missing his arrival.

Once they had finished breakfast, Henry and Felix headed downstairs. Henry was babbling about some other video game he thought Felix might do okay at playing. Felix wrinkled his nose ever so slightly in distaste. He wasn't sure he wanted to try any more video games after all the trouble he had with that first one.

As the two boys exited the building, Henry suddenly stopped short in surprise. Felix glanced over in the direction the younger boy was staring with a quizzical eyebrow raised. He immediately felt his body tense and a low growl escape his throat.

The dark haired woman in a long, black coat had stopped a few feet away from the boys. Her eyes widened a bit in surprise at first but then flashed with a forcefully squelched anger.

"M-Mom? What are you doing here?" Henry stuttered with unease as the woman purposely walked over and stood beside her son.

"I was going to walk you to school," she responded with a tiny quirk of her lips, her deadly gaze never once leaving Felix's equally displeased expression. "What are you doing here?" She continued, voice clearly directed at the blonde.

"Felix was staying with us last night," Henry responded for him, trying to smile innocently.

"What?" The woman choked out, her eyes widening in shock once again.

Suddenly, the door to the apartment swung open almost hitting Felix in the back. All eyes locked onto the blonde woman that stepped through the doorway.

Emma startled a bit at finding the group standing right outside the door. Her blue eyes went from one face to the next, assessing the tense atmosphere.

"Hey," she said with uncertainty after a moment. "What's going on?"

"You let them stay with you?" The dark haired woman accused through gritted teeth, her eyes flashing as they bored into the other woman's.

Emma crinkled her eyebrows together in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

"Felix and Pan. You let them stay with you? With Henry in the house? After everything they did?" The dark haired woman demanded, her voice elevating in agitation. Her eyes were horrified but questioning as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Whoa, Regina. Take it easy," Emma quickly responded, holding her hands up in a sign of defense. "First of all, it was just Felix that stayed with us."

"Well, where's Pan? Did they get into some kind of lover's quarrel?" Regina spat with a mocking scoff, shooting a look at Felix. Felix merely returned her gaze cooly.

"Peter's gone to the Enchanted Forest for a couple of days and he asked us to keep an eye on Felix in the evenings so that he wouldn't get lonely," Emma replied in a slightly defensive tone.

Regina stared at the blonde woman for a moment.

"Peter?" She asked with a raised lip in disgust. "So, suddenly, you're all such good friends, is that it?"

Emma was a bit taken aback by the remark.

"No, that's not what I was-"

"Have you forgotten what they put us through? What they put HENRY through?" Regina demanded, cutting the blonde woman off. "And you're so quick to forget about all of that just because PAN comes crawling to you with some sob story about his boyfriend getting lonely? And you completely fall for it! You know, I expect this kind of behavior from the Charmings but I thought you of all people would be able to see through his tricks. I guess you really are their daughter."

Emma's jaw clenched as she stared unflinchingly at the other woman.

"Love can change the heart of any villain, Regina. You of all people should understand that."

Emma glanced down at Henry then before turning her hard gaze back onto Regina.

"Come on, Henry. I'LL walk you to school."

Henry cast one last glance up at the dark haired woman and then at Felix before following Emma down the sidewalk towards the school. Regina watched the two for a moment before turning a slightly softened look onto the blonde male that instantly hardened once more.

She stepped forward so that her face was mere inches from his. Felix held his ground, not even blinking as her vicious stare collided with his.

"Just because you have the ability to love one person, that doesn't make your heart pure," she murmured darkly. "I understand that."

Regina turned away then briskly heading off in the direction Emma and Henry had gone.

Felix just stood there for a moment longer, feeling the side of his lips turn upwards in a slight smirk. He didn't recall ever saying anything about being pure.

The queen may have been wrong about Felix and Peter only wanting to cause misery for everyone but the savior's notion that the two boys had changed completely for the better wasn't exactly accurate either. Felix still felt the desire to end certain peoples' lives and that wasn't exactly the product of a pure heart. Then again, he wasn't sure just how "pure" the hearts of the Storybrooke residents were either.

Felix rolled his shoulders a bit before heading off in the opposite direction down the sidewalk.
