"Hey Dad." Emma said as she walked into the bedroom, she threw herself into a chair beside the bed, "How are you feeling?"
"Hey kiddo, I'm better, I think. I feel bad for Regina having to look after me." Emma smiled knowingly,
"I think she kind of enjoys it." David reached out his hand and Emma clasped it smiling at him.
"Emma, I need to tell you something. Please don't freak out. You know I loved your mother, and no it hasn't been that long but I think I'm ready to move on. And I think I have feelings for someone else." Emma smiled and sat back in her chair releasing her father's hand, doing nothing for his nerves.
"This person, brunette by any chance? Short, slight, kinda sassy?" David's eyes widened. "No one can say you don't have a type Dad." David blushed and looked down at his own hands.
"She's been through so much Emma, I don't know If I deserve her." Emma rolled her eyes,
"I swear you two are the biggest overthinkers I know." David looked up confused. "Just tell her how you feel. You might be pleasantly surprised."
"Oh I don't know Emma…"
"Just ask her out you coward!" David backed up slightly. Emma cleared her throat. "Sorry." He nodded. "I'll see you later Dad, gotta get back to work."
"See you later kiddo."

"Were you yelling at my patient?" Emma flinched thinking she'd managed to escape the wrath of the brunette.
"Um maybe but you'll thank me later!" She yelled as she ran out the door. Regina shook her head and checked on the napping toddler before grabbing the bowl of soup and walking to the bedroom.
"Here's your soup, careful it's hot."
"Thanks Regina, listen could you sit down for a sec?" Regina nodded and sat gently in the chair, wiping invisible lint of her jeans. "So, I was thinking that when I'm better I want to take you to dinner, you know if you'd like that. I wouldn't want to assume you'd say yes anyway. But over the last few days I realised that maybe you mean more to me than just friends and now I'm freaking out if maybe I should've kept that to myself. But it's too late to take it back now and-" A finger on his lips stopped his rambling. Regina smirked, leaned in and pecked his cheek.
"I'd love to go to dinner Charming. So, hurry up and get better. Eat that soup before it gets cold." David grinned like an idiot as he sat up in bed and reached for the bowl of soup. Regina smiled and left the room, flopping down on to the couch next to Neal's crib. "Your daddy isn't such a coward after all Neal." She squealed into a pillow and Neal joined in delight at the noise. Regina laughed and sighed. "I suppose I should get started on making dinner." Neal yawned and curled back into his crib. "Thanks for the help Neal."

By the time Emma came home from work David was half lying on the couch, looking a million times better, with Neal sitting beside him waving his arms animatedly. Regina was leaning over the stove, steam accentuating her curls further. She smiled and turned to close the door until she saw Henry running up the stairs.
"Hey kid, thought you'd spend a couple more hours with blushed and shook his head,
"Nah I told him I was gonna eat dinner with my family." Emma smiled and ruffled his hair before pushing him into the apartment. "Ma, not the hair."
"Henry! I wasn't expecting you tonight." Regina rushed to meet her son through the door and pulled him into an embrace, kissing his cheek several times.
"Mom, come on! I love you too, now can I breathe." Regina smirked and released the teen. David sat watching the two women embracing their son and smiled, looking at Regina his smile spread even further across his face. When her eyes met his she blushed and looked away.
"Emma would you mind joining me for a second in the kitchen?" Emma nodded and shoved Henry towards his Grandfather.
"What's up?"
"Your father asked me out." Emma gasped and stuffed her knuckles in her mouth, though a grin grew around it despite her efforts.
"Really?! That's shocking." Regina rolled her eyes.
"I know you had something to do with it," Emma began to protest. "Thank you, Emma." Regina put her arms around the blonde and held her tight. Emma quickly getting over her shock, hugged the brunette back.
"I'm glad you get the chance to be happy." Regina's eyes watered though she didn't let it fall.
"Me too."

They ate dinner and chatted animatedly, but sometimes David and Regina's eyes would meet and they'd share a smile. After dinner Emma and Henry fell asleep on the couch while Regina finished cleaning the kitchen.
"You don't have to do that you know."
"I do know, but as I'm going home I thought I shouldn't leave you with a mess."
"You're leaving?"
"Well you're better now, I see no reason for me not to go home."
"I do." David leaned in to kiss her. Regina quickly pulled away,
"Ah no, I expect to be wooed Charming. So I'm going home and you can pick me up at 7 sharp at my house on Saturday." David smiled and lifted her hand to kiss her knuckle. She smiled and pulled away. "See you on Saturday David." He nodded and watched her leave.
"Regina!" She turned, "Thanks for taking care of me." She came back to kiss his cheek and left.
David heard the door close and turned to find Emma and Henry looking over the top of the couch, eyebrows raised. "What?"
"Nothing." The two said innocently and sank back down into the couch. David shook his head and went to bed leaving the three 'children' to their evening of fun.
