A/N: Hey everyone! I am back :D. So I seem to come back strong whenever I am looking for work. Another year, another a billion lessons forward. Now I look for my next career - what are good careers for someone with a very strong personality? I would love suggestions :) Taking a break from the Marketing Manager/Director bit for a while. Anyway ENJOY this - there is more :).

Regina slams her hands on the door, as she ends up in front of her own house crying out in frustration.

Emma knew. The day in the snow had felt like just yesterday for her. How did she screw up things so poorly? She needed to get her memories back. She walked in and called for Henry, finding the boy had listened and stayed with his grandparents tonight.

She pulled out her phone from her pocket and dialed her son's number.

He picked up on the second ring. Regina closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh.

"Ok Henry. Now we do it your way…"

…

Emma moved slowly to the door, who would bother to come to the dark ones home? Surly Regina was not back already, she wouldn't be giving her anymore answers.

"Henry?"

Henry smiled and walked up and embraced her. The blond smiling in surprise at least someone still loved her.

"Hey Ma."

Emma closed her eyes and savored the moment.

"Kid what are you doing here? Your mother is going to kill me…"

Henry rolled his eyes, "Not if we don't get caught. I need your help."

Emma lit up. "Sure, an operation?" Her eyebrow quirked up as her son nodded.

"Yep the world still needs the savor, I need help finding a horse."

...

Regina along with the Charming and Hook approached Emma's door with caution.

"It's ok I have something of Henry's to get in." the brunette moved her hand in a quick pattern and her son's red and grey scarf appeared. She closed her eyes and made a silent wish that this would work. And judging by the click she heard, it had.

"Some dark one you are Miss Swan…" she muttered as she pushed the door firmly in, heading the squeaking sounds.

The heroes filed in and searched the first floor.

"Snow! There's a basement – kitchen." The two brunettes hurried down the steps.

"A sword?" Regina walked hesitantly near it.

Snow grabbed her arm, causing her to stop.

"It's Excalibur Regina. Woah look at those markings… they look like…"

Regina nodded as she shivered. "The dark ones dagger…yes it does."

Snow put her arm around Regina as she saw the woman take a step back.

"Hey, you ok."

Regina closed her eyes and took a steadying breath.

"Yes… I can still…remember what it felt like, sucking the life out of me."

Snow can hear the tremble in her voice and she wants Regina to feel safe but she knows all she can do right now is keep Regina rooted to the present.

"You'll be ok Regina. We won't let it hurt you."

Regina turns and nods with a small smile.

"I know that. I do." She takes a step closer to the sword. Emma hasn't bother to enchant the room, the rock dais seems to do enough to protect it itself.

Killian and David run down the stairs in time,

"Come on we gotta go, Henry just texted they found the horse!"

Snow grabs Regina's arm and pulls her back up the stairs.

Just before the being the last to leave, Regina glances to the table and feels a pull. She opens the box to reveal a dream catcher. She can feel the energy, it belongs to her son. She stashes it in her coat as they make a run for it.

…..

Henry hugged Emma goodbye and thanked her for finding Violet's horse. He knew Emma had to be in there somewhere.

He returns to Mifflin street to be confronted by the rest of his family, and a smothering hug from his other mother.

"Mom, I'm fine." Regina smiles and pulls him to her once more.

"I know, I-I just…I'm allowed to worry."

Henry waits for her to still then he lightly pulls away, but places his arm around her.

"Guys she's still in there. She helped."

Everyone smiles but Regina as she seems to tread from foot to foot.

Henry turns to look up at her.

"Mom what's wrong?"

Regina looks away then back to her son, no more lies.

"Henry… I found your memories."

Henry opens his mouth in shock and shakes his head out of it a bit.

"That's great! Then we have a piece of what happened."

Regina worries her hands.

"Henry I was able to see part of it…I… am not sure. Well it's not good from what I can tell…"

Henry frowns and squares his shoulders.

"I can do this mom, I can handle it."

Regina blinks back tears.

"I left it up in your room. We will be right here when you need us."
