After Henry had calmed down and his sobs turned into small whimpers Regina decided it was time take him back to Emma.

"We should go Henry, your mother must still be very much worried about you, trust me she won't calm down until she has you in her arms."

"You're my mother too you know." He mumbled and Regina's body went still as a rock. Has she finally gone mad or did he really say that? The boy as if reading her mind removed himself from her embrace and with his gaze locked into her, he spoke again.

"You're were and forever will be my mother. I was stupid and I was confused because I was under the stupid belief that I wasn't supposed to love you because the book said you were evil, but I was terribly wrong and I know that now. Emma may have given birth to me but it was you who was there when I was growing up and needed somebody. You did bad things in your life, but to me you had been nothing if not loving until I started kicking you out of my life, you were all I could have hoped for a mother and I shouldn't have pushed you away for your mistakes."

The waterfall was back in his face after speaking the words that have been weighting him down for all this time. He could not believe that after all this time she was here in front of him and he could finally at least try and fix what he broke so carelessly. Regina finding him today was a sigh, a greater force, fate, or whatever you chose to call it, giving him probably his last chance to regain his mother and all the colors of his now dull life that went away with her.

"That day in the park I lashed out on you because I was afraid to face the truth, I couldn't understand why I wasn't satisfied living with them, I was angry because I already knew that I rather be in your care than the Charmings and that made no sense to me. Surely if they were the heroes like my book said it should be great, but they are clueless to all that it's not about them and their perfect world; they didn't even remember my birthday, something you never forgot. I called you evil while I was playing the villain part to you and I hate myself for it. I miss you, I miss your food and how you would give me a goodnight kiss every night. You are my real mom and I know you don't want anything to do with me after all I've done and that it's okay, I think."

Looking down at his lap and stirring in his seat he hurried his last words in just one breath. "I just wanted to say how sorry I am for all of it."

"Henry, look at me." When the boy made no effort to move the queen took his chin in her hands to turn his face to her and now cupping his cheek she spoke the words from her heart. "You are wrong Henry, having you in my life is all I want. You are my light and you saved me how could I stop loving you? I wronged you too; please don't let this eat you away because it's not true. I lied to you so I could protect myself and I'm aware of it, where we stand today is not all your fault. I didn't know how to love very well, I still don't but I'm trying to get there. I never had much of it growing up and every time I got a taste of it I would watch it slip away from me, it does not justify the things I did but I hope it can make you understand a bit more until I'm ready to tell you the whole truth, if you would like to know."

"Yeah, I would."

Patting her lap Regina went to get up and take her son hands to help him move away from this dreadful bench that made her ass flat and hurting. "We should go now honey."

His crestfallen face with the idea of leaving made a small creep in her face, he wanted her. After all this time and all the pain he was here willing to love her, to have her. She only hoped it was true. "We will talk more, I promise."

The ride back to Neal's apartment was filled with talk, the first real talk mother and son had since so very long and Regina wouldn't trade this moment for nothing.

"That man that went with you to Storybrooke, is he your boyfriend?"

Henry's inquisitive voice was too much to take and she cracked, rich, beautiful and true laughter coming from her throat, enthralling enough to have the boy laugh along with her. How knew that this is where she would be today, sitting in her car, driving around NY with her son and talking about boys. Not even Rumpelstiltskin could have seen that one coming.

"No dear, Josh is a friend of mine, a big friend of mine that helped me a lot. I have a girlfriend though, her name is Rebecca."

Regina had no problems talking about Becca, Henry knows she is bisexual; he has ever since he was six and they saw two men kissing on TV. She remembers as if it was today, his sweet innocent voice asking about what he never saw, what he didn't understand.

"Is it okay for two boys to be kissing, mommy?"

"Of course it's honey. You see, love is what matters and not who the other one is. Some boys love girls, some boys love boys, you can even find boys that can love both girls and boys, and the same goes for girls."

"Do you love girls, mommy? Is that why I don't have a daddy?"

Oh! How she remembers the way her heart broke with his words. "No sweet that is not why, mommy does like girls and boys too, but you don't have another mommy or a daddy because you are the only one that I love. You are more than enough for me."

"You are enough for me too momma." A hug to her middle and a sloppy kiss to her face was the end of it and then his attention was stolen by the TV once more, by nightfall she wished she had a mind of a six year old as well so she could forget about it too. Yes, her little prince was more than she could hope for but she would never stop wishing for true love that would come in another form, the romantic kind.

"Are they the ones helping you learn?"

For a moment she didn't get his question, so she looked at his face and the look he was giving her was the same one of that day 5 years ago. "Yes, but they are not alone in it." At his confused face she went on. "You played and still plays a big part, and well also my doctor, he is much like Archie, but better."

"That is nice." She heard him but before she could say something her phone started to ring, he saw on her screen it was Emma so she put it on speaker.

"Where are you Regina?"

"Always a pleasure to speak with you too Miss Swan, I'm about five minutes away from where we met."

"Is Henry with you?"

"Did you think I would have found him only to leave him on the side of the road? Of course he's here with me." In the car you could hear clearly the angry grunts coming from the other side of the line and the queen let out a little chuckle at that, much to her surprise, so did the pre-teenager sitting on the passenger seat.

"I'll be there waiting." That was all that came out from the savior's lips before she hung up the phone.

"What happens when we get there?"

He sounded do young then, so afraid, so… broken. "What do you mean?"

"Will you just drive away or will you stay?" How can he ask her that? There is no way she would just leave him now, not after today, not after their talk, most importantly not after this huge sized piece of hope now stubbornly taking residence in her chest.

"I could never just drive away from you if you want me by your side Henry. How about we see what Emma's plans are and go from there? If she is planning on staying in the city for the night you can both go to my house, where we can have a real conversation, if not we'll figure something out. Would you like that?"

"No, I would love it."

So this was a bit smaller than usual but I needed to cut here. Next chapter is half way done, and the rest I have it all mapped out so really I don't think will take much time. I'm trying to make updates as fast as I can but life is just not agreeing with me at the moment. Sorry.

Anyway, I hope you liked this one, leave me a review with what you think are the most important parts of "the real talk" they will have to make and also what you thought about this chapter. XX
