New chapter, Yayyyyy.

Don't be too angry with me about the mistakes and the time of the update. I find than my best thoughts are at night, maybe not my best spelling but I'm a trying.

Hope to update soon

As always I don't own anything…

Noticing the time, Gabriel knew that they were going to have to pack up soon. He didn't want this woman out of his reach but he knew that she had a responsibly to her son. He had to break out of their blissful silence eventually and now was probably the right time. He gave her a kiss on her temple and it effectively brought her back to earth after gazing at the night sky.

"Mmmm." He heard her hum into him, making it harder for him to let her go.

" Regina we have to start getting back it is already 8 and you said that Henry would be home for 8:30."

Lazily she sat up and looked into his eyes. She too was content in just staying with him a little while longer but she knew that the date was going to end eventually, she just didn't expect it to go this fast.

"Alright." Hearing her almost whine not wanting to go gave Gabriel all the confirmation that she felt the same way he felt about leaving her.

They packed up everything but noticing that Regina was slightly shivering due to the night air he took the blanket back out and placed it around her shoulders.

" Thank you " She gently took his arm as they proceeded back down the path. But about half way down Regina fell for the umpteenth time. He tried not to laugh at her but some of his laughs escaped his lips and all she could do was smile at his inability to control himself.

" I know your laughing at me. I'm not a klutz, you trying wearing these in the woods in the dark none the less. Your remember how I was coming up here and now I can barely see, what do you expect?"

That was it for Gabriel he couldn't let he suffer this walk back. In one fluid motion he scooped her up in to his arms. One arm behind her bent knee and the other on her back. He heard her squeak at the sudden change in transportation. It made her heart melt at the gesture. He could have made her tuff it out back to the car but he so easily took her in his arm and carried her back.

"Alright you are beyond perfect Gabriel thank you for this." She held her arms tight around his neck and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Another two or three minutes it was his turn to break the silence. He looked down to her beautiful face; waiting for her to look into his eyes wanted her full attention. Once he had it he even felt her try to scrunch up a little more into him to give a slight go ahead.

" Regina what are we?"

She knew what they were; lovers, fiancés, and true lovers but she couldn't say that since he didn't remember.

" Well what do you want us to be." She gave him a look that could have made him drop everything and kiss her but she was in his arms already. He couldn't drop such a delicate flower. Their eyes locked and he was mesmerized by how she could make him answer his own question. He knew what he wanted them to be and looking into her dark brown doe eyes he knew she felt the same.

"All I know is that I want to be with you. I really like you Regina. I want us to be together."

She didn't really know how to say how she felt about him, her heart was ready to just out of her chest. She let her heart calm itself down before she spoke.

" I feel and want the same thing."

Smiles graced both of their faces as they continued on their walk to the car.

"And besides how can I say no to a man carrying me bridal style back to civilization." His smile grew and she laughed at his slight excitement at her little joke.

Once they were back to the car at the stables he gently placed her down on the floor and took the blanket from around her shoulders that miraculously stayed on during their walk back.

Their ride was relative smooth until he pulled up to 108 Mifflin Street. In a split second he saw Regina grow stiff and cold when she noticed Henry sitting on their front porch with a certain blonde whom he could only image could be Henry's birth mother.

"Hey everything is going to be fine. I'm sure that their dinner just finished early. Here let me get the door for you." Gabriel said to reassure her. He gave her a peck on the cheek before exiting the car to get her door for her. It allowed her to collect herself and calm her nerves down slightly before having another conversation with the infuriating blonde.

Once her door was opened she got out and was escorted to the two sitting on her stairs he felt like should be there just in case it got too out of hand. What little he heard of the blonde from Regina gave him a big clue to their relationship.

"Henry what are doing outside and why is she here." Gesturing to the blonde to his right.

Looking over to Emma he answered is mother in a flat tone.

"She was at the diner when we were finished and offered to take me home."

Sighing she still didn't take her eyes off her son. " That still doesn't answer my first question why are you sitting outside?"

" Oh well you see the kid forgot his keys for the house so I said I would stay until you got back." Emma intervened knowing Henry was struggling to tell his mother that he forgot his keys in the house, again.

Now she was annoyed.

"Thank you Miss Swan but I wasn't talking to you." She said with a sneer. She hated when she would talk for her son. Before she said anything else she felt someone intensify their hold on her arm and then she remembered Gabriel. His touch brought her back form the Evil Queen threating to appear and wreak havoc on Emma.

She looked back at him understanding the gesture. Those blue eyes were everything she need to stop her little bickering with the blonde in front of her but when she turned back to her she saw Emma in an interesting scowl, but not at her, at Gabriel.

"Who is this Regina?"

Who was she to question her about anyone? Regina's blood boiled. She couldn't help herself; she had no right to look at him like that. She felt protective over him just because that's what she always felt with the people she loved.

Not answering the question she took her keys out and let her arm dangle for Henry to take. Seeing his mother's willingness to forgive his mistake he took the keys.

"Thanks. Gabriel can I see you soon? I want to start our lessons."

He smiled down to the boy. " Of course we can. Whenever you'd like as long as your mom gives you permission." He let go of Regina for just a moment to get to eye level with him.

"And if I were you I would be a little nicer and do as your told buddy. That way she lets you, ok."

Henry looked back up to his mother looking down at him still having that stern look on her face. It began to melt away when the little boy responded.

" Ok I will. See you soon Gabriel." He ruffled his hair a little before the trio saw Henry open the door and run up to his room.

" Sheriff Swan your services are no longer needed so I suggest you get back to whatever you were doing before you took my son home." Putting a little more emphasis on my on just for good measure.

" Regina, I'm not comfortable not knowing how this man is and why my so… Henry spending time with him?"

Gabriel saw his girlfriend begin to lose it. Even though Henry had a relationship with Emma it still didn't give her the right to choose who he interacted with, that was Regina's job. He respected the blonde for watching Henry while they waited for her but he did not appreciate the way he was taking to her.

" Miss Swan my life is none of your business. Don't let me catch you overstep your relationship with Henry again." she kept her voice in check but Gabriel noticed her hands start to tremble.

" Regina, I'm just concerned."

Gabriel had enough of this. Form his current position he walked around Regina and placed his hands around her waist pulling him to her. He felt her grow stiff but he didn't take his eyes off the blonde in front of them whose mouth looked like it would it the floor if it wasn't attached to her skull. This made both of them smirk. It felt good to shut her up for a minute but he broke the silence right after he placed an open mouth kiss on her shoulder.

"Well you know my name from Henry but I am also Regina's boyfriend."

Emma's eyes almost bulged at Gabriel's statement. She took a second to compose herself and while she was Gabriel detached himself from Regina letting her finish her conversation with Emma.

"Well now that's settled Miss Swan I will say this again nicely. Please leave."

Giving herself one last look at the couple in front of her she shook her in disgust and left.

"Whatever" They both herd her say quietly when she walked past Regina's front gate.

Once the blonde was out of sight Regina turned back to Gabriel. She didn't know whether to be happy he stepped in or angry at him. She had everything under control but the way he stepped right in and effective stumped Emma made her heart flutter to life. She brought up her hands to his chest but while she did he playfully put his hands up in surrender. She was in his eyes change and she knew she could never be mad at him for what he did. But she still pretend couldn't she?

" What the hell was that? I could have handled her on my own."

Her hands were still on his chest which made Gabriel realized he wasn't in any real trouble. He brought his hands down and round her waist bringing her in closer to him.

" Well I had to do something you too were looking like you were about to rip each other's hair out. "

He informed her bringing a bit of sarcasm into his voice and brings a small grin to his lips.

" Well I have to say you display promptly rendered her speechless, something that is harder to do than most trust me it know."

"I couldn't let anything happen to my girlfriend now could I?" looking deep into her eyes as if he was staring into her soul. He wanted to protect what was plain and simple.

This predictive side isn't new, Daniel always had that in him but this possible ruggedness had her wicked mind turning. She was finding this combination of the new and old was quite fascinating, alluring and tempting all at the same time. I was like they had both grown up a bit and let the real world harden them a bit but most of the pieces of their old selves where still there.

" Not that I need protecting but I do like how you are so eager to defend and be at my side."

She ran her hands up and down his arms trying to bringing back their lighter and younger energy that was being used before their interruption. But Gabriel still had that persona about his stance saying he was not quite done with this new layer of their relationship.

"I'll always be here for you Regina. You're my girlfriend after all. I will do anything to protect what's mine. "

She quiet like the sound of that coming from his lips.

" Say that again."

Getting the hint he lowered his head into the crook of her next whispering into her ear slowly.

" What that your my girlfriend?"

He felt her shiver into him and he knew he stuck a cord. So he continued.

" Or that your mine."

She pulled him away from her neck to connect their lips together. They both fought for dominance. Regina giving a good fight but giving in once she felt his tongue enter her mouth. Their tongues twirled and danced in a long and hungry kiss. She entangled her hands into his brown hair and his were cemented into her waist. She tugged her nails across his scalp motioning him to continue. His lips ended their destination at her scar yet again, sucking and biting on it. He heard her moan as he pulled away.

" Mine."

God was she hating her agreement that she made with him in the forest about not sleeping with him on the first date. She felt her core ignite. She was craving his touch badly. But she knew it wasn't going to happen tonight so she was just going to have to make do with his kisses.

She gave him another kiss. This one was more like a quiet storm. Powerful and meaningful but soft and quick.

"Yes yours, but I think it's time to let me go for now."

She hated saying it but they both knew it was time. He let go of her hips already feeling her let go of his hair. Before he let her walk away from him he took her hand. She was a little taken back by the gesture but watched him as he continued.

He placed a soft and expressive kiss on her hand. His eyes never left hers. Her head tilted to one side and sighed into the touch.

"Goodnight Regina. Sweet dreams."

"Goodnight Gabriel."

With that he walked back to his car. He turned as he made it to her gate. He saw her at her front door looking at him. He gave her a slight smile and nod and she waited her to return it. She did before turning around to shut her door.

He continued on to his car. That night they both had dreams of each other.

His of this incredibly sexy, beautiful woman he was falling for fast. He pictured their lives together just as he asked her do during their dance.

Hers were surprising about Gabriel instead of Daniel. She knew that Gabriel was Daniel but she was starting to fall for Gabriel just like she fell for Daniel.

Letting him sneak right into her heart.

What do you think? Hope to update soon. I want their first time to be at a certain time so be patient. It will be soon that I can assure you. ;)
