Whilst Emma and Regina were waiting for their son to arrive Emma decided she would set up some movies as the only memory she had of him was whilst they were watching a movie and they all seemed so happy. All Emma wanted was to be happy and have her memories back. Regina gave the blonde some space as she was decorating it a bit with fairy lights and putting out snacks. She didn't know how her love or her son would take any of this and that really worried her. However she wasn't going to let this affect the time they would be spending as a family as it would be the first time they had all been together in a while.
A few hours had past and Regina was starting to get really worried about her son, she thought that maybe he didn't want to come after all and that maybe it was all too much for him affecting him in ways that he was not letting her know. She had rang Henry ten times, left seven voice mails and three text messages before calling Mary Margaret. "Hi Regina how is everything going with Henry?" Mary Margaret asked when answering the phone. This made Regina hang up immediately in shock and fear. If he wasn't with Mary Margaret or with her then where was her son. Then she remembered back when Emma first came to town they had a secret place they would meet up and even though it was knocked down by her as it was unsafe he would still visit there sometimes. So she decided she would check there before going in to a full pledged state of panic. "I'm just nipping to a friends to ask her if she wants to join us for dinner soon, I will be back in ten babe!" Regina shouted as she left the house. "Okay I will just watch some TV while I wait." Emma replied.
When Regina arrived at her sons special place she could already see him sitting there alone so she walked up to him quietly allowing him time to think. She sat down next to him on the park bench wrapping an arm around him and pulling him in to lean his head on her shoulder. "I was so worried about you, do you know that? Are you okay? It is okay if your not ready... she will understand." Regina said kissing his head gently. "I know I'm sorry mum. I didn't mean to worry you, I just needed time to think and I thought that I'd be okay to go there straight away. Then it hit me she really doesn't remember me, all our secret things, our places, food we both like, things we have done together and I don't know how to talk to her any more. I have had time to think now though and I am ready, I really am... If she doesn't remember our memories eventually she will and if not we will just make new memories, better memories that we will cherish and laugh about even more. I will always believe in her because that is what family is about." Henry said sitting up to look his mum in the eyes. "You know Henry, you are a very intelligent little man and you make me the proudest mother in the entire world even in all the realms. Seriously some boys your age would get angry and block their family out at time like this. That is just not you though. No matter how tough times get you manage to surprise me with all your hope and strength, something I wish I had all those years ago." Regina said beginning to tear up because of how proud her son made her feel in that moment. "Well mum you may not have had a lot of hope or strength in the past but you did raise me so I have learnt everything I know from you. I could not ask more a better mother. Shall we go now she may be wondering where we are?" Henry asked pulling his mum up, wiping away her tears and hugging her tight. "Of course lets go I know she is really excited to see you! She has set everything up herself and we were looking through all my photo albums of you this morning." She said giggling at her son while he blushed a little from embarrassment.
When they arrived at the house Henry entered first and he instantly ran up to his mum hugging her tight.
"Please never scare me like that ever again!" He said in the hug. "Oh kid, I promise never again! Why don't you go pick a movie while we order a couple of pizzas." She said showing him the movie fort she had made in the front room while Regina was out. "Oh my... babe what on earth is that?" Regina asked giggling at the blonde. "Don't tell me you have never been a queen of a fort?" Emma asked. "I can definitely say no, I have not." Regina replied playfully pushing her slightly. "Well then my beautiful queen you are in for a treat tonight." Emma said giggling. Both the women walked in to the kitchen leaving their son to pick a movie. All of a sudden Regina felt someone strong arms lift her off the ground and on top of the work top. Emma places her body in between the brunettes legs before kissing her passionately running her hands down her partners body slightly leaving them on her waist.
They carried on kissing like this for a while before Emma stepped back really quick almost too quickly for Regina to process. Regina could see how red the blondes cheeks just went so she immediately realised that she must have remembered something. "What is it Emma? What have you remembered?" Regina asked slightly worried. "hahaha... I remembered... well I remembered us doing things... you know with the ropes and stuff. Wow! not that I am saying I disliked it, I just wasn't expecting to remember anything like that!" Emma said slightly giggling. "Well Miss Swan, maybe we could try that again tonight?" Regina asked giggling back at her whilst getting down to give Emma one last kiss before they really order the pizza that their son was expecting. "We certainly can!" Emma said spanking Reginas bottom before leaving the brunette in the room to order the pizza.
