Storybrooke, present day.
David and Henry were walking down the beach. After what happened at the dinner David was pretty pissed off against this whole town and he had been close to take his stuff and go back to Boston with Regina. He sighed. He hadn't realized Henry had stop in front of him and he bumped into him.
-"Sorry." He said.
-"It's Ok!" Henry answered looking at him with questioning eyes.
They stayed silent for a little while until Henry decided to break it.
-"What…what happened with my mom?"
David sighed once against. He sat on the sand and Henry did the same.
-"It's just…She had a small argument with Mary Margaret…"
Henry lowered his head.
-"Hey….it's going to be ok." David said. "We're going to figure it out. We're going to find a way to make this work."
The boy looked up and gave a shy smile.
-"I don't want my mom to get hurt you know…not again but…It's unfair for Sn-Mary Margaret."
-"I understand kid but…Regina…She's…" He chuckled. "I can't live without her."
-"You love her, don't you?"
-"Right now, I love her and that baby more than anything."
-"I…I'm glad she found somebody to make her happy."
-"And I'm glad that person is me. It wasn't easy and from what I gathered: before I lost my memories it hasn't been easy neither."
Henry let out a small laugh soon joined by David.
-"D…Did she talk about me?" Henry started. "I…I mean." He sighed. "Was she mad at me?"
-"No!" David immediately answered.
He put his hand on Henry's shoulder.
-"Look, your mother never ever stopped loving you. You can be sure about that. She wasn't mad at all. She was scared that she had lost you forever."
He saw a tear running down the boy's face.
-"Trust me! Not once wasn't she thinking about you. Without even knowing about your existence I knew she was missing something. When she told me about you I made her call you and I swear to you: the second she started talking to you…I could see the light returning into her eyes. And when you and I talked you remember?"
He nodded.
-"She was so happy to know that you had forgiven her. That made her life. She was happy and believe me: even though things are a bit tough here…having you with her is the best thing."
Henry wrapped his arm around David and buried his head in his chest.
-"I missed you guys so much." He mumbled between tears.
David smiled.
After the beach Henry decided to go to the park with David.
-"When I was a kid we use to come here every Wednesday and Saturday to have a picnic." The boy said. "I come here sometimes with Emma too and with my dad I came also once."
-"It must be cool to have two moms." David said laughing.
-"Well I haven't really enjoyed both of them at the same time yet…hopefully sometimes but I don't think so…they don't like each other much."
-"I wouldn't say that: I think they're growing on each other. At least Regina is starting to like…I think she really appreciated Emma respecting her choice to leave."
Henry smiled.
-"I'm glad you're back David."
-"Well…I'm glad to get to know you. Even if we already knew each other…'
Henry laughed.
-"Yeah. We even lived together for a while."
-"Yeah?"
-"Yeah! You taught me how to ride horses and also to sword fight."
-"Sword fighting? I can use a sword and ride a horse. What am I some sort of Zorro."
-"More like Prince Charming." Henry said with a smile.
He laughed.
-"So and what else did we do together?" David asked. "I would very much like to get to know you."
-"Video games."
-"Well this morning I saw a little hint on that one."
Henry laughed.
-"Was I always that bad or is it just because I lost my memories."
-"I'm sorry David."
Henry burst into laughter at his grand-father's face.
David smiled.
-"Well be careful young man…one day I'll beat you".
-"Sure yeah! You were also sheriff...with Emma."
-"Whaou! I had quite the life."
Henry smiled. 'You have no idea.'
-"But before you worked at a pet shelter. Just after you got out of your coma."
David smiled.
-"I can tell I like animals."
-"You love them, trust me."
David laughed. They walked in silence for a little moment.
-"You know my mom..."
David looked at her.
-"She has done some bad things. That's why people are mean to her...She doesn't say anything but I know it hurts her. I think...I think she's always wanted to be loved. That's why she hated Snow...hum Mary Margaret I mean. That's why she hated her. She has always been loved by all and my mom...well...never. Even I turned my back on her and went to live with you, Emma and S...Mary. Promise me something?!"
-"What?"
-"Don't let her go back into self destruction. No matter what, promise you'll never stop having faith in her. Promise me that you'll always be there for her."
David didn't really know what he was reffering to by self destruction but he nodded. Of course, he'll always be there.
-"No matter what I promise you here and now that I'll never stop loving and caring for your mother."
-"Even if one day you'll go back with Mary..."
-"I don't think it'll ever happen but yeah. I'll always be, at least, a friend for Regina. But I don't think I'll ever leave her."
-"I used to think that for you and Mary...I realise now that love is always complicated so...I just want to make sure."
-"Well there's no need to worry about that."
David smiled and Henrry responded to him with a smile.
-"What about you show me the horses?"
-"Yeah!" Henry said, his face lighting up.
-"But we won't stay too long for your mother not to worry."
Henry's face lowered in worry.
-"Don't worry. She'll be fine. As long as we have each other she'll be. As for Mary…I'll talk to her. I know you worry aout her too. I'll make things right."
Henry hugged David.
-"Thank you." He said. "Thank you."
And they left for the stables.
Flashback
Henry, Regina and David had spent the day together. They were all sat in the living room watching Harry Potter. David and Regina were keeping a safe distance between them not to make Henry suspect anything but she could film from time to time David grabbing her hand. She didn't really mind on the contrary.
She turned to smile at him and he responded to it.
-"Looks like the little prince is asleep."
Regina turned to see her boy curled up on the armchair.
-"I'll tuck him in." Regina said ready to stand up but David put a hand on her arm to stop.
-"I'll help you get him to bed not to wake him up." David said.
She nodded. David got up and grabbed Henry. He went upstairs, Henry in his arm, followed by Regina. Once in the bedroom, he lay him on the bed. Regina grabbed the cover and put it on her son.
The boy moved slightly and opened his eyes.
Regina stroke his hair softly.
-"Sorry." She said. "We didn't want to wake you."
-"It's ok!" He mumbled.
Regina went back into tucking her son in. Henry put a hand on hers.
She smiled.
-"Mom?"
-"Mmh?"
-"I love you."
-"Me too sweetheart."
She kissed his cheek and stood up. David ruffled his hair.
-"Goodnight kid."
-"Goodnight Gramps."
They left the room and turned off the light. Once the door was closed Regina went towards the stairs but David grabbed her by the waist. She chuckled as she leant against his chest.
-"What is it?" She whispered.
-"Nothing. I just needed to feel you close."
Regina laughed.
-"Thank you for being here David. Thank you for helping me with Henry."
She turned to look at him.
-"Really. Thank you."
-"My pleasure." He said before grabbing her lips.
Storybrooke present day.
-"MOM!"
Regina jumped at the sound of her son's voice. She went out of the kitchen and saw her son's climbing the stairs of the entrance.
-"Hey!" She said smiling.
-"That was so fun. We went to the stables and we rode the horses."
-"Really?" Regina said looking up to face David.
-"Well apparently I used to do so…I figured it would be like riding a bike…it isn't."
Regina laughed.
-"Well go clean yourself up. Diner's almost ready."
Henry nodded and ran upstairs.
David and Regina went into the kitchen.
-"What are you making?" He asked sitting on a chair.
-"Lasagna."
David's face lit up causing Regina to laugh.
-"It's my way of making amend for leaving you like this at the dinner with Henry…I…I'm sorry."
He stood up and grabbed her by the waist.
-"No need. I enjoyed my time with Henry. He is a great boy. You did an amazing job."
-"Thank you. Wh…What happened with…you know…"
-"Nothing much. I left just after you with Henry. I must admit that I was myself pissed off against them for treating you the way they did."
-"They have their reasons." Regina said lowering her head.
-"I don't care about their reasons. I'm with you and we're having a baby together…why is it so hard for them to be happy for us? Mary Margaret I can understand but this guy…Leroy…and the other guy that I don't even know…"
-"Whale."
-"Whatever. I can't stand anyone hurting you."
-"David…I…I did hurt them in the past…"
-"I don't wanna know." He said firmly grabbing her chin to meet her gaze. "Past is dead. You're my present and my future. They need to move on!"
Regina's eyes were wet. She didn't waste any second before grabbing his shirt and pulling him into a very passionate kiss. Their mouths moved against the other, their lips parted and tongues met. David pushed her against the counter and let out a groan. He could feel his jeans tighten as his erection grew. He slid a hand under a dress and went on until her could grab her ass. He pulled her closer and she moaned as she felt his manhood pressing against her hips.
They parted to breathe and David attacked her neck. She arched her back to give him a better access. She felt his fingers lingering on her panties and almost choked as he slid his hand into them. She could feel his lips, that were now at the birth of her breasts, deformed into a smile.
They were forced to pull apart though as they heard steps coming down the stairs. David went back to sit, trying to catch his breath not with showing an annoyed look on his face.
As for Regina she turned to face the sink, licking her lips. She was also very much frustrated but she composed herself as she heard Henry.
-"So…what do we eat today?"
She turned and tried a smile.
-"Wh…What's going on?" Henry asked looking at the two sweaty adults.
-"No…Nothing." Regina managed. She went towards him and kissed his forehead.
-"Were you fighting?"
-"No!" She answered immediately.
She looked at David who chuckled.
-"No kid!" He said. "We were not fighting. Don't worry about that."
-"Ok." He said. "Cause fighting isn't good for the baby and I want my little sister to feel comfortable in there." He said touching Regina's belly.
The mayor laughed.
-"I love you my boy." She said holding him close.
-"Love ya too mom."
They parted after a while and Henry sat.
-"So…what is it that we're eating?"
-"Can't you tell?" Regina asked heading towards the oven and opening it.
-"Lasagna!" Henry's face lit up as David's before and the two adults laughed.
-"Yes Dear. Lasagna for my two boys and my little girl."
So what did you think? To be honest I expected the bonding time between Henry and David to be longer but anyways.
Henry interrupting his mom and David: AWKWARD!
In the next chapters (I don't know which one yet): David is going to have a serious conversation with Snow as he announced to Henry. He didn't say much at the dinner but I guess you figured he didn't really appreciate every insulting his girlfriend.
Some more family moments coming: hopefully. Fluff and Smut too ;) (I'm starting to get really comfortable with the last one.)
Some of you hate Snow right now. Well that's the point. No I'm kidding: I've just always thought that the one keeping Snow from loosing it and try and kill Regina was David. Now that...well he's not with her anymore. She needs to learn to do it alone.
To Kjaye: Don't worry sweetheart I didn't feel offended in the very least. Critics are more than welcome but I'm glad the latest chapters eased your mind :) I hope I'll never disappoint you.
Thank you again for the Bday wishes :))
Mwah to y'all.
P.S: season 4 in two weeks *excitement overload.* I genuinely am dying of excitement. I'm an outlawqueen shipper too so yeah...I'm scared too for my poor baby Regina. (I think I've probably shipped everyone with Regina. If you're like me let me know. Honestly I just want her to be happy so with whomever that'll do for me XD)
On monday I'm officially starting my 2nd year of college. GREAT! (pure irony).
See you in my next chapter. :)
