The next morning, Regina feels someone nudging her awake and she opens her eyes to see Henry standing in front of her and his poking her leg.
"Mom..mom.." Henry says seriously and Regina closes her eyes once more.
"Henry..sweetheart..what is it?" she asks groggily and Henry frowns.
"Why are you asleep on the chair mommy?" he asks seriously and Regina's eyes spring open and she suddenly realises, that she is infact upon her couch and must of fallen asleep.
"I must have fallen asleep" she then answers and lets out a yawn.
"Did Superwoman fall asleep too?" Henry then says innocently and Regina instantly snaps her head sideways to see that Superwoman is still asleep and slouched over, next to her.
"Oh.."
This is going to be awkward, she then thinks to herself. Before pulling herself up and saying "Come Henry, do you want breakfast?"
"Yes fruit loops please..will Superwoman have fruit loops too?"
Regina smiles and thinks it wouldn't surprise me if she liked them but answers "Maybe when she wakes up" and they leave Emma in her peaceful slumber.
Twelve minutes later, Henry has gone back to his bedroom. Having eaten his fruit loops in relative silence and Regina is now washing up Henry's breakfast bowl. Whilst pondering on yesterdays events.
However, she is soon brought out of her musings, when she hears a soft voice from behind her.
"Um..Hey" Superwoman greets a little shyly from the doorway and Regina snaps her head towards Superwoman. Who is now biting her lip and standing awkwardly.
"Hello.." Regina replies and smiles slightly, whilst thinking, even with the messy hair, she's still beautiful. I wish I could just go over to her and..
"Um..what happened last night? I mean I fell asleep right?" Superwoman then asks, interupting Regina's thoughts.
"Yes..I didn't want to wake you but also fell asleep myself upon the sofa"
"Oh.." Emma nods. "I didn't think I was going to get any sleep after everything that happened yesterday but glad I did"
Regina nods.
"How are you feeling today?" she then asks and watches, as Superwoman steps forward.
"Better. I definatly needed that sleep"
"Well, I'm glad that you were able too after your eventful day"
Regina then reaches for a teatowel to dry the bowl.
"Yeah about that..I think I'm going to get the police to do a name check on this guy, he might have a record"
Regina nods.
"Thats actually a good idea"
Theres then a pause.
I guess, I should get going..I've already outstayed my welcome" Superwoman then mutters and chuckles nervously. Which makes Regina look back to her with slightly wide eyes.
"No, of course you haven't. Your welcome here anytime Superwoman" she tells her seriously.
Superwoman smiles and feels her heart swell.
"Would you like breakfast?" Regina then asks and Superwoman looks momentarily surprised by the offer, as she had not expected it.
"Sure..I mean, if its no bother"
"Its not" Regina smiles.
"Okay"
They then stare and one another for a long moment. Before Regina looks away and says "What do you usually have for breakfast?"
"Oh..Um, anything. I love to eat" she chuckles and Regina smirks.
"How does a cheese omlette sound?" Regina then asks and Superwoman nods, but not very enthusiastically, which Regina notices.
"Or.." she then says a little highly and walks to the fridge. "Pancakes?"
Superwoman then smiles at the way Regina has said it.
"Sure..yeah..that sounds even better. I love pancakes"
"Good" Regina smiles and is pleased with her decision, to change the menu.
"Do you need any help?" Superwoman then asks polietly and Regina shakes her head.
"No. I've got it but thankyou" Regina answers softly and starts to gather all the ingrediants she needs. While Superwoman watches.
After Superwoman has eaten breakfast, Henry comes back into the kitchen.
"Mommy. Are we still going to the park today?" he asks eagerly and Regina looks to Superwoman, before saying "Yes, Were go this afternoon okay"
Henry then nods and beams, before looking to Superwoman.
"Are you coming too?" he asks her expectantly and Superwoman bites her lip.
"I'm sorry kido, but I can't..maybe another time okay?"
Henry then frowns and looks down to the floor and it makes Superwoman wish that Regina and Henry knew who is really was. So, maybe she could infact go with them.
Theres then a pause and Superwoman thinks, that she really should get going. Even though she'd happily stay here for as long as Regina and Henry would have her but she doesn't want to outstay her welcome.
"Actually, I really should get going. Thanks for breakfast Regina and letting me stay over"
Regina looks momentarily saddened by her words but quickly masks her disapointment by uaing sarcasm.
"I don't think I had a choice in you staying over dear" she smirks and Superwoman brings her hand up and rubs the back of her neck.
"Yeah..I guess not..It was a tough day"
"Yes..I am glad your okay. I don't know what I would of done if I had lost you"
Superwoman's mouth parts slightly at this and she stares momentarily in unveiled adoration at Regina. Who has ducked her head slightly and has brought her own hand up, to brush a few loose strands behind her ear.
"Will you come back tomorrow?" Henry then asks and Superwoman looks to him, then back to Regina. Who answers for her.
"I am sure I can set an extra place for dinner, if Superwoman is not to busy"
Superwoman's heart swells.
"I'm never to busy for you guys" she then says without thinking and it makes her eyes widen slightly and she thinks, did I just say that outloud!
She starts to blush a little but can see the pleased looks upon both Regina's and Henry's faces.
"Right..thats my cue to leave" she then says, whilst thinking, before I say anything else embarrassing and she walks to the backdoor opening it and then walking out.
Whilst Hearing a "Byeeeee" from Henry and a "Don't be late" from Regina. Which causes her to grin goofily, before then jumping up into the air and off to her room at the b&b.
A/N This is a kinda a short but sweet chapter and the next chapter will have Emma's parents turning up and we haven't heard the last of Mr Gold either.
