A/N: This chapter is a little dark, so I'm giving you a fair warning. Enjoy and leave me some love please! I really like reading reviews, I don't care good or bad. They help me pin point what you guys want. Now to the story-

It has been many weeks that Regina and Andrea have been lovey-dovey. Emma hasn't showed her head, at least not like she had at the diner, much to both the women's relief. Henry has been ever so accepting of Regina and Andrea that he had even started calling Andrea mom. Even though Regina is his first mom, Andrea was making a close second, Emma completely out of his mind except for when he had to go visit his grandparents. But tonight, Regina, Andrea, and Henry were in the living room. Henry was trying to teach the vampire how to play Mario Kart on the Wii.

"Now turn the controller this way… No! Aw, dang it. You need more practice, mom. You keep crashing into Mario," he said.

"It's not my fault, honey. This is the worst thing ever. It would be better if it was a flying game. That stuff, I can understand."

"Let's try a different race track."

"Fine, but I want to be the mean turtle guy."

"You mean Bowser?"

"So that's his name? Huh. Fitting," Andrea chuckled.

"Henry, I think it's your bedtime, right?" Regina asked from her spot on the couch. She hadn't even bothered to look up from the book she was reading.

"But mom! Not until I teach this female to drive like a man!"

Regina and Andrea burst out laughing at his argument.

"She drives like a monkey!" he said.

"Maybe because this game was made not to be an expert driving experience, but a crashing game?" Regina said after a few deep breaths, but still giggling. In her fit of laughter she had closed the book and was looking at the two on the floor.

"But..."

"No buts, Henry. Bedtime," Andrea said. "I don't think I could survive another round anyway."

"Fine. But if she crashes into your office, it's not my fault," he said, turning off the game system. He kissed Andrea on the cheek, and then Regina. "Night."

"Goodnight, young man," Andrea called after him. She got up off the floor and sat next to Regina, wrapping her arms around the other woman's waist.

"He's so adorable. 'She drives like a monkey!'," the mayor mocked.

"Yeah, he really is. I wish I was able to have kids. But being immortal my body wouldn't be able to function for it since it hasn't grown a day older for a hundred years," came the vamp's reply.

"Can I ask you a question?" Regina asked, suddenly serious as she wrapped her arm around Andrea's shoulders.

"Sure."

What was it like? To change into a vampire?"

"Well… I don't really remember. I can't even remember what it was like to be human except to be easily broken and left for dead… I remember other things though. Like my favourite smells. Apples and cinnamon, if that matters," the red head chuckled. When Regina didn't say anything except for smile lightly, did she continue. "This man, his name was Gregory, was a vampire and he had saw me in my tower, and he saw that I was all alone. So he made it his mission to get close to me, make me fall in love with him. But he was just as horrible as the Ghost of the Moon. I didn't want anything to do with him and he hated that because he was trying so hard."

Andrea took a deep breath before she continued. "After a few months of dead flowers and awful chocolate that he insisted on sending me every day, he finally cracked. He had come to me in my tower once everyone was sleeping, or at least trying to. He looked so scared and angry that I though it wouldn't hurt to at least talk to him and try to get him to calm down. But he only got angrier when I kept on saying that he wasn't the one for me."

Regina wiped at the bloody tears that were now streaking down the woman's face. "It's okay. You don't have to tell me," Regina said soothingly.

"No, I want to… He became violent and he raped me, left my body covered in bruises and broken. Of course I yelled at him to stop, but he didn't. When he was about to leave, he was crying, too. He said he was sorry and he came back over to me. He leaned back over me and bit into my pulse point. He left me alone to writhe in even worse pain than he had caused before.

I didn't wake up for a whole week and when I did I instantly knew that I was different. I could hear everything, smell everything. I was so scared, but happy because the occupants of the town said he had left hurriedly the night he changed me."

Regina was trying her best to wipe away the streams of tears, but pulled Andrea into a tight hug, not caring if the blood got on her shirt. "I'm so sorry, baby," she said.

"I'm not. If he hadn't, I'd still be stuck in Halloween Town and not here with you and Henry."

Regina pulled away, but kept their foreheads touching," You are the best thing that's happened to me in such a long time."

Andrea laughed shakily with a smile contorting her face," I love you."

"I love you, too."
