"Henry!" Emma reacted first and bolted out of the car, Regina followed quickly after. There was no doubt Henry had seen Emma use magic and the two were filled with fear about how he would react.

"We can explain." Regina promised.

But Henry was calm as he smiled at them. "It's ok. The queen sent all the fairytale characters to our world. There's magic here and you have cause you're the savior."

Regina was so excited she pulled Henry into a hug. "You remembered!"

"Actually no." Feeling awkward Henry pulled out of the hug. Emma winced as she watched the sadness settled on Regina's face. Henry noticed it too apologized. "I'm sorry, I just… I believe."

Emma told him it was okay and asked Regina if she was okay. The brunette nodded and suggested they continue the conversation inside incase there were any flying monkeys about.

"So kid how'd you figure it out?" Emma asked.

"Well, I was attacked by a flying monkey last night, and well, Regina kinda told me. Though I still don't see how she could have been an evil queen."

That made Regina smile a little, it still hurt beyond belief that he couldn't remember her, but he didn't think she was evil, and that was something.

"You told him?" Emma asked a bit surprised.

"I told you I couldn't lie to him." Regina reminded her. "And don't pretend you're so above it all. I heard you telling Ruby not to hide it if he began to ask questions. No doubt the entire town had received the same instructions within five minutes."

Emma couldn't deny it, these days it was a tie between Mary Margaret and Ruby over who the best people to tell if you wanted information to get around quickly. "Well, now he knows."

"Not everything." Regina looked at Emma for permission to tell Henry the whole truth.

It took awhile, and Henry would occasionally interrupt with a question of two but finally he knew the whole story. That in reality Emma had given him up and Regina had adopted him and after years trapped in Storybrooke's cursed haze he brought Emma to the town and everything began to change.

"Okay so who is the waitress again?" He asked.

"Little Red Riding Hood." Regina answered.

"But she's also a werewolf?"

"Yup." Emma nodded.

"And the doctor is?"

"Well the therapist is Jiminy Cricket and the medical one is Dr. Frankenstien." Regina told him.

"That a lot to keep track of isn't it?"

Emma shrugged. "You get used to it."

Henry let out a breath trying to wrap his head around all this new information. "So this world has magic can you just get me my memories back?"

"Oh Henry, I wish I could." Regina felt tears rush to her eyes but she did not let them fall.

"We're going to get your memories back." Emma tried to assure them but they both wore matching frowns. Emma wasn't sure who looked more upset but if she had to guess she'd say t was Regina.

After a moment Henry was prepared to ask his next question. "Okay, what were doing to Regina in the car?"

His choice of words caused Emma to cough nervously so Regina answered for her. "Your mother was casting a protection spell on my heart. We believe the Wicked witch is after certain things represented in the story of Oz."

Henry turned to the page in his book with the flying monkeys hoping it would help "That makes sense. A brain, a heart, courage and a home."

"Home?" Emma asked.

"Well, yeah, that was what Dorothy was after and she was the main character of the story so it's probably important."

Regina had forgotten that park of the story but he was right, it was probably important. Still, it didn't really matter what the Witch was after Regina just knew the other woman had to be stopped, and the only way to stop her was going to be through magic. Her magic wouldn't be enough, she needed Emma's magic too. They were stronger together.

"Emma, I believe it's time we continued your magic lessons." Regina finally spoke.

The blonde made a face, "Do we really have to?"

"Were you not the one who insisted on casting a spell not three hours ago?" Regina asked in disbelief.

"Well that was different." A bit of red crept onto Emma's cheeks.

Regina either didn't notice or just decided not to say anything. "Miss Swan, magic is a part of you just as your muscles are and as such must be trained, we can not rely on luck to get us through this."

"Luck has been working pretty well for me." Emma recalled their success in stopping an unstoppable diamond and moving the moon itself while they were in Neverland.

Regina just responded with a glare.

"Are you sure you two weren't a couple?" Henry smirked more amused than annoyed that the two of them seemed to have forgotten he was in the room.

Don't worry everyone this is a Swan Queen story its just going to take them time to realize it. Tomorrow I'll be going to RenFest and since it is OUaT day I won't have a new chapter up until after the episode airs which means I will probably have to rework what I've written so far cause the episodes tend to influence me.

All that being said a question to you all. As of right now I've had a new chapter for you each day obviously that means the chapters are shorter because I pretty much post them as soon as they're written. I got a review suggesting longer chapters, that would mean less frequent updates. My personal inclination is to continue with the short chapters because it keeps me motivated to write every day but I can be swayed. So my question to you readers is which would you prefer?
