"Sheriff Swan." The brunette said, the heavy material of her dress making a rustling noise when she stood up from the hard bed. She wanted to grab the bars but quickly stopped herself. She remembered the slightly painful shock she got from them the last time she touched them. "Has Regina changed her mind?"

Emma dropped some files on her desk and sighed loudly. The hopeful look in the brunette's eyes actually made Emma feel a slight pang in her heart, but it was Cora after all. "Cora you've asked me that for four days now and my answer is still the same. Regina needs time, you've hurt her, you've broken her. The least you can do is give her time to make up her mind. You owe her that."

Cora dropped her head in despair. "I understand, sheriff. But what if she doesn't make up her mind? I can't loose my daughter. I just can't. I love her, I love her so much. Could you at least tell her how much I regret taking my heart out, how much I regret hurting her." Cora let out a shuddering breath. "I've ruined her, I've ruined my only child. My beautiful Regina." A lonely tear made it's way down her cold cheek. "Oh god, what have I done? What have I done? What have I done!" Cora pressed the palms of her hands in her eyes, trying to stop the betraying salty liquid. But to no avail.

Emma didn't know what to say. She just watched as the older woman broke down. It was obvious that Cora had her heart back, for when Emma had met her the first time she didn't even care about her daughter, but now, now she was openly sobbing for her and begging to get her back.

...

Regina softly rubbed her stomach, her little girl just wouldn't stop kicking her in her ribs. She pushed her black glasses further up her nose and concentrated on her book. She tried to read the words but her brain wouldn't allow her, so she opted for staring at the pages instead. Her minds kept wandering off towards her mother who was safely locked up in the sheriff's station.

God, why did everything had to be so difficult!

Daniel walked in the room, clad in only a towel covering his modesty. He looked at his beautiful pregnant wife. She was wearing tight yoga pants, a loose shirt that showed of her sexy curves and those glasses... he so loved her reading glasses. She didn't even look up from her book when he entered the room, even though he knew she wasn't reading, she was thinking about her mother.

He walked over to the closet and pulled on his boxers. The bed dipped when he laid down next to the brunette and her chocolate orbs finally met his blue ones.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly.

Regina nodded. "Yes, if I don't move to much." She knew he wasn't referring to the round ligament pain, he was referring to Cora. But that was just a much to complicated subject to talk about, so she opted for playing ignorant and stared at the bright white pages of the book again.

He accepted her answer with a knowing smile. "Good." He reached out and pushed the book down. He crawled up a little further and kissed her passionately. Regina moaned softly when his tongue stroked hers. She bit down on his lower lip and grinned when his breath hitched.

"Make me forget." She said breathlessly when his mouth attacked her neck, sucking her pulse point with new vigour at her words. His warm breath skimmed across her clavicle where he bit down softly. His hands grabbed the hem of her shirt and slowly pulled it over her head. A soft moan filled the room when he bit down on the top of Regina's sensitive breasts. Reaching behind her back he unclasped the red lace bra, his eyes darkened with lust when he was met by the sight of her erected nipples. He took one into his mouth and sucked. Regina let out another moan and grabbed the back of his head to press him harder against her chest.

His hand slipped inside of her tight yoga pants and he rubbed her in slow circles over her panties clad clit. Regina moaned softly. "Oh, Daniel." He kissed her luscious lips to silence her loud moans when he applied more pressure. She was getting close and Daniel knew it too, her panties were turning significantly more moist.

He abruptly pulled his hand away and Regina let out a frustrated growl. "Daniel." She whined in a sultry voice. He hooked his fingertips in her pants and slowly pulled them down her long legs, exposing her moist panties to the slightly frigid air. He threw the pants on the ground and opened her caramel colored legs. Regina popped herself up on her elbows so she could follow his every move with her eyes that were darkened with lust.

"Stop teasing." Regina said breathlessly when he nipped the inside of her thighs. He grinned and blew some air on her centre, making Regina squirm with need. He hooked his thumb in the hem of her panties and pulled it down also.

He moaned a little when he was met by the sight of her glistening centre. "Regina you're so wet." He said and he gave a soft kiss on her clit. She threw her head back in response.

"Mhhmm."

He pushed his tongue inside of her and moved the strong muscle. Regina was moaning and screaming. He licked her and started sucking on her clit.

"Oh, Daniel! Fuck!"

He slowly pushed one finger inside of her. Regina grabbed the sheets in her fists, wrinkling the fine material.

"M-more!" The breathless plea came from above him and he obliged immediately, adding another finger. He started in a quick pace, determined to make Regina come hard.

"More!"

His lifted his eyebrows in surprise but obliged. He added a third finger and was rewarded with another low moan.

"Fuck, yes!" Regina came with a long moan and Daniel didn't stop his movements until Regina's breathing returned to normal. He pulled his fingers out, they were glistening with Regina's come. He moaned softly when he tasted her, that heavenly taste that was so uniquely Regina. He dropped himself next to Regina's spent and sweaty body. She immediately curled into him when he opened his strong arms as an invitation.

He wanted to say something but Regina had already fallen asleep. Smiling he brushed her dark hair from her forehead and placed a kiss onto it.

"I love you, Regina."

...

"Henry, not so fast." She said to her son who was walking several yards ahead. She had promised to take him to Granny's for a milkshake, so that was where they were going right now. She had taken the road through the small park on purpose, she didn't want to walk by the sheriff's station. Regina still hadn't made up her mind about her mother, and it's been almost a week already.

Henry turned around and ran back to her. "Sorry mom." He said with a grin, his cheeks were flushed from the cold weather. In two weeks it would already be Christmas again.

"It's alright, sweetheart." She said with a smile as she ruffled his hair which earned her a glare from her eleven year old. "I'm just not so fast anymore."

He smiled and grabbed her cold hand in his equally cold one. "Just a question." He started, making his best puppy eyes, the ones he knew his mother couldn't resist.

"What is it, dear?"

"I know it's already 3, but can I have a burger too?"

Regina laughed when she stared into his big brown eyes. "Well, I'm kind off craving a burger myself too. So I guess you could."

"Yeah!" He wrapped his arms around her and laughed when he couldn't reach his arms all the way around like he used to do. "I can't wrap my arms around you anymore!"

Regina laughed too. "Well, that's because I'm housing you're little sister in there."

They rounded the corner and Granny's came into view.

"I love you, mom." He said as he grabbed her hand and gave it a soft squeeze.

Regina was surprised that he could say it like that again, so casually. Like there had never been a year of them growing apart more and more, for him to say 'I hate you' as casually as he now said 'I love you'.

"I love you too, Henry."
