Chapter 10
Regina walked into the kitchen and took a seat next to her son
"I'll take that coffee now Mrs Potts" Regina told Mrs Potts before taking a piece of toast from Henry plate
"Are you and Emma still taking me to school?" Henry asked Regina, after seeing that she still hasn't got dress yet!
"of course we are, I just need my coffee" Regina told Henry as she took a bite of the toast
"and my toast" Henry say with a smile on his face, he couldn't remember the last time Regina took a piece of toast from his plate, normally Henry would take a piece of bacon from Regina plate and in return she would take a piece of toast it's something they have done since before Henry could remember.
"Your coffee" Mrs Potts said placing the coffee down in-font of Regina
"thank you" Regina said before taking a mouthful of coffee "harry up and finish your breakfast, than go get ready for school" Regina tells Henry before getting up from the table with her coffee and toast, than making her way back upstairs to her bedroom to get ready for the day.
Regina walked back into the bedroom only to find Emma sitting on the bed eating the breakfast Regina had made for her "isn't that cold by now!?" Regina asked Emma as she took another mouthful of coffee
"its still warm" Emma tells Regina
"when your done, get dress, I told Henry we would walk him to school" Regina tells Emma as she walked into her walk in wardrobe, Regina took out her grey dress, the one she had been wearing the day she met Emma for the first time.
Once she was dress Regina walked over to her dresser to apply her make up, as Regina was adding the last bit of her lipstick Emma came and set next to Regina to do her own make up, Regina looked at Emma in the mirror and gave her a smile, Emma smile back a little at Regina before going back to doing her make up.
As Regina watched Emma in the mirror, it hit her, yes Regina have to prove that she was going to be there for Emma and Henry from now on, but she also had to take things slow with Emma, she couldn't keep pushing Emma the way she had be doing.
While watching Emma, Regina notice how tired Emma looked, she looked like she could do with a break, but how would Regina get Emma to take a break away from things?.
"I am ready for school" Henry said walking into they bedroom.
"Hey kid, wow I can't remember the last time I saw you this excited" Happy to see her son looking so happy, she just hoped that Regina wouldn't let them both down again.
"Why shouldn't I be happy? I have both my mums taking me to school and I can wait for Friday" Henry inform Emma
"why what's happening Friday?" Emma asked her son, why trying hard to remember if the school was going on a trap or doing something this Friday
"I told Henry we would take him for Pizza and Ice Cream before taking him to see the new Spider man movie, sorry I forgot to mention it" Regina answer Emma's question
"Henry, can you go to wait downstairs for us please, go on we will be right down" Emma told Henry as she wanted to talk to Regina without Henry being around
"Okay but don't be too long or I will be late for school" Henry told them before leaving his mum's alone
Emma watched Henry leave the room before turning to face Regina, "you have better not hurt him because if you do, that is it no more chances" Emma warmed Regina as she couldn't deal with seeing Henry broken heart again all because Regina couldn't keep her promises
"Emma I understand why you are worried and with good reason, but I don't want to lose you or Henry, I know I came very very close to losing you both because of all the mistake's I have made" Regina took Emma's hand in her "but my eye's are open now! And I am not going to make the same mistakes again" Regina told Emma before being her hand up to her lips and giving it a little kiss.
"I know I'll not made things easy for you these last couple of days, but I'll just be scared that you are going to keep hurting us again, do you know how many time's Henry cried himself to sleep because you let him down, it broken my heart seeing him like that, that's why I keep telling you that you need to prove yourself to me, because I can't keep seeing Henry like that" Emma told Regina as tears run down her cheek.
"oh Emma, I am so so sorry but I am here now! And I am back to stay and I will prove myself to you, starting right now!" Regina say wrapping the tear from Emma cheek before taking her hand in her and getting up "let's take Henry to school"
They're both took Henry to school than Regina walked Emma to work before heading to work herself and not caring she was late for the morning meeting, Regina had to let Emma know she would be late home every day this week apart from Friday because they would be picking up Henry from school, Emma wasn't to happy at hearing that, but didn't make a big deal out of it.
Regina was trying very hard to pay attention to the meeting they was having about updating the town college, but her mind kept drifting to Emma and Henry, she needed to find a way to make everything right, but now!?.
Just then there was a knock on Regina's office door "come in" Regina called out, Ruby walked in looking a little nervous, carrying four coffee's, sandwich's and cake's
"Here are your orders" Ruby said placing everything down on the desk, before turning around and was about to leave the office but Regina called her back.
"Gentlemen can you please just us a moment?" Regina asked the three gentlemen got up and walked to the door and left Regina office leaving Ruby and Regina alone "please take a seat" Regina say
Ruby seat in a sit opposite Regina, Regina took out a folder from her desk before getting up and walked around her desk leaning up against the desk to the right of Ruby
"Miss Red I would like to say I am sorry again for the unfortunate incident that occurred the other night and I hope you agree with me when I say that we all need to past this, so instead of an afternoon at the spa how about a whole weekend?" Regina asks as she handed the folder to Ruby
"I don't know what to say" Ruby say as she took the folder
"don't thank me, just have fun and take care of my wife, she needs a break and I need to spend some time with my son and maybe when you get back we can all have dinner together, we don't have to be friends but I would like for us to try and get along for Emma" Regina told Ruby
"I have never liked you and I hate would you have be doing to Emma and Henry these last seven months, but I can see you are trying to make thing right and since you are willing to try so am I, so dinner sounds nice and I would like to try and be friends and not just for Emma, thanks for the spa when we get back we will all start over, have fun with your weekend with Henry" and with that Ruby got up and life Regina office without another word but with a better understanding.
Since Regina wouldn't be home till late she called Emma and told her about her weekend spa break with Ruby, Emma wasn't as Excited as Regina would of hoped but seen alright once Regina told her they was still going to be having dinner together on Friday before Emma and Ruby left for the spa.
The rest of the week Regina got home late every night but really made the effort to have breakfast with Emma and Henry almost every morning apart from Friday she just grab a coffee and lifted but not before saying goodbye and giving both Emma and Henry a kiss goodbye.
Friday when slow for Regina as she only really have paperwork to do, then was no meeting, but as soon as I clock hit 2.45pm Regina left the office and met up with Emma just outside her office and they walked together to the school to meet Henry before going to grannies diner.
They finish then ice cream just as Ruby come over "you ready to go Emma?" Ruby asked her
"We are almost done, are our bags in the car?" Emma asked Ruby as she finish her coffee
"Yes all of our bags are in the car, so lets go" Ruby say Henry got up and took Ruby hand in his and left the diner to let his mums have some alone time together
"You know our son got a crush on Ruby right?" Emma asked Regina
"Well if I didn't, I do now!" Regina Smile at Emma "I don't mind my son having a crush on her just as long as my wife doesn't" Regina said taking Emma's hand in hers
"I don't and never have had a crush on Ruby, but I will tell you who I got a crush on, you Regina I got a crush on you and I have since the day we met" Emma told Regina before getting up from the table and going around to Regina and giving her a kiss, it was a light kiss to begin with, just as Emma was about to pull back from the kiss Regina put her hand at the back of Emma head and deepen the kiss.
