OMG, EVERYONE! Thanks for all the favorites, follows and the lovely reviews! I really wasn't expecting half of that considering the poorly written prelogue. lol

So, now, here's the real beginning of this story. Hope you'll enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own OUaT, otherwise we know what would happen! ;)

It was early in the morning and Regina started to move, knowing it was time to wake up. The sun entering through the window made her glow even more than she was already glowing. Before she finished setting down in bed, she felt a gentle hand in her waist, pulling her down again.

"No, one more minute, please", David pleaded still with closed eyes, hiding his face in her hair, but with a smile on his face.

"I can't, David. Henry will be up in a minute!", Regina laughed.

"Yeah, but now that you woke me up, at least let me enjoy holding you and this little girl for a second", he said with a hand still on her stomach, but with bright eyes staring at her now.

Regina smiled, this is certainly not what she expected to live a few years ago. But she knew she was in heaven.

She was laying in her back and now David moved between her legs to get a closer look ar her stomach. He lifted her pyjama and put his two hands at her bare skin. Then moved then to hold her waist and placed the sweetest kiss on her belly.

"Good morning to you, little baby", he whispered. She was caressing his hair know, just enjoying the view.

Regina had just a little bump right now, but it didn't matter. Since they had found out she was pregnant, David talked to her belly everyday. It made Regina's heart melt.

David carefully laid his head on her bare stomach and closed his eyes, trying to sense anything. Her stomach had become his favorite place on her body now. He couldn't imagine being in a better place. Not even with Snow he had this kind of intimacy and that had surprised him at first, but now, now he was just the happiest man on planet.

After a few minutes, they were so comfortable that they started to fall asleep again. When David's breathing started to get heavier, Regina woke up and looked at the clock. "Damn it, I'll be late", she thought.

"David, wake up!", she said, trying to get up with him on top of her.

"Huh? What?", he woke up startled, lifting his head to see her.

"You fell asleep on top of me!", she laughed. "I can see how tired you are, honey, but you can sleep some more before going to the station today". These last few days had been crazy there and it was taking a toe on him, but on fridays, Emma takes the mourning shift. "But now I really have to get up. Look at the time!", she said pointing to the clock.

"Fine, I'll let you go this time", he joked and moved up, supporting his weight on his hands as he crawled to meet her lips on his."You have a good day, babe, we'll talk later", he kissed her again and got up from her, going to his side of the bed, quickly falling to sleep again.

Regina got up and took a quick shower, getting ready for the day. She went downstairs and started to make some breakfast for Henry. Soon, the boy appeared at the kitchen with a big smile.

"Morning, mom!", he said going to her and hugging her tightly.

Regina couldn't help but smile again. How did she became this lucky?

"Hey sweetheart", she said hugging him back. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah! Thank God is Friday, school is killing me!"

"Oh, stop being so dramatic", Regina laughed at his comment. "Here, sit down, I'll put your pancakes in a plate".

"So hey, how's my little sister, mom?", Henry asked, like he always did. When he found out that he was going to be a big brother, he jumped everywhere with happiness. It was the cutest thing to watch how excited he was.

"She's doing really well, dear", she placed a hand on her stomach. "Getting bigger every week!"

"I can't wait to meet her, mom! I can teach her so many things! And I'll always protect her", Henry said with a big smile, planning everything ahead already.

Regina was almost crying to see her son like this. It really made her all giggly. The turn her life had take in the last two years still amazed her. Not only she was completely in love with a wonderful man, who loves her back with all his heart, she also won her son's heart back.

After a little talk about the baby, school and the weekend, it was time to go study. Regina said goodbye to Henry at the door.

"Okay, so don't forget that you'll go to Emma's house after school today", Regina said, lowering almost nothing to his level, since he was so big now.

"Yeah, like I would forget that, mom", Henry said rolling his eyes in a joke.

"Hey. Manners, teenager!", they laughed. "I'll call you later, alright?"

"'Kay, mom, I love you", Henry kissed her cheek.

"Love you too, sweetheart, have fun this weekend", she said, giving him a smile and a big hug.

Regina decided to go to Granny's for lunch, since David couldn't be with her due to his job. He decided to skip lunch so he could go home earlier at night. As she opened the door, she saw Snow sitting in one of the tables. After two years, they still couldn't get along and barely had a honest conversation. Regina decided to go talk to her. Afterall, they were both alone and she had some extra time now.

"Snow", she said calmly.

Snow looked up with a sharping look, already knowing who it was.

"Mind if we talk?", she asked, lifting one of her eyebrows.

"Now?", Snow snapped.

"Yes, I think now is a good time."

"Fine", she suggested for Regina to sit down. "What do you want to talk about?", she said as if she couldn't care less.

"Snow, I know we went through so much already. And I might still hold some grudges against you, but I want you to know that I am sorry.", Regina said.

"For what, exactly? Killing my father? Trying to kill me several times? Cursing all of us, impeding me to see my own daughter grow? Framing me for murder?", she said, madly, but now loud enough so other people would hear. "Oh, or for stealing my husband from me?", Snow clenched her jaw.

Regina took a deep breath while taking in all those words. She really did some awful things, but she did not exactly regret all of them, because they got to where she is right now. And for that, she couldn't be sorry. But for the sake of her son's relationship with his grandmother, though, she would try. Besides, Regina wanted everything to be different. Even if that included saying 'sorry' to Snow White.

"Yes", Regina said. "I know you might not believe, but I really have changed. Snow, I'm trying so hard to be a better person for David, Henry and the baby."

Snow flinched at the mention of her ex-husband. And their baby.

"And I know you and David were already divorced when we got together. But I want you to know that I never, not in my wildest dreams, thought I would ever fall in love with your prince Charming. Trust me, I know how the crazy that idea sounds", Regina said sincerely. "And he never imagined that either, so we didn't do it to hurt you. It just happened."

"You really expect me to believe that, Regina?"

"No. I just hope you do, anyway, for your own sake. I'm telling the truth. And it's been 2 years already, Snow. I'm letting go of what would did to me, it's time you do the same."

"You know, Regina, I may have stopped going after David", she said, getting up, "but I'll never forgive you for what you did. Ever." And with that, she leaved the place, leaving Regina alone.

Regina sighed again. She had a feeling this was going to happen. But the new her knew it was worth the try and she would do it until Snow believed her.

After a exhausting day at the office, Regina headed home. No matter how good things were in her personal life, being the mayor never got any easier or less stressful.

When she opened her door, she was hit by a delicious smell. She put her coat in the dresser and went to the kitchen, where she found the man of her life cooking spaghetti.

"Something smells good", she said leaning at the door frame.

"Well, hello gorgeous!", David said going in her direction. "How was your day?", he put his hands on her waist and gave her a light kiss.

"Tiring, as usual", she put her hands on his arms. "But much better now that I'm here, with you. With a whole weekend ahead of us", she said in a sexy tone.

David couldn't help but kiss her again. More intensely, this time. After a long kiss, they parted to get some breath.

"Well, if this isn't a welcome, I don't know what it is", Regina said with a big smile.

"I've been waiting the whole day to do this", David smiled. "Now, ready to eat?"

"Yes, please, I'm starving! These 'eating for two' thing is not very easy!", they laughed.

When they were eating, in a comfortable silence, Regina spoke.

"I talked to Snow today", she said, lifting her eyes to meet his.

Since the beginning of their relationship, they made it sure to always be honest with each other. It started even before they realized they had feelings for each other. One day, after a long conversation, Regina honestly said how sorry she was for trying to hurt him and Snow so many times over the years, for taking his chance to see Emma grow up, everything. And she meant it. David truthfully accepted the apology and said. "I'm the one that has to apologize, though. For hating you simply because you wanted to hurt Snow. I never took the time to know your reasons. I'm sorry, Regina".From that moment on, there were always honesty between them.

"You did?", David said, curious but serious. "And how that went?"

"Well, you know. I tried being sincere with her. I said we never meant to hurt her."

"And?"

"She didn't believe me."

"That's not really surprising. I've spent months trying to get her to believe, but she won't listen."

"I know all I ever wanted was to hurt her, but in some strange way, I don't want her to think less of me. Or even hate me, no matter how weird that sounds", she said, looking to her empty plate, like she was ashamed.

"Hey", he said, holding her hand, "it isn't. You are changed. Just the fact that you are trying to be better proves that."

Regina looked up.

"One day she'll come around. She might be a little different too, but aren't all we? Deep down, she's still that same Snow. For now, let's just settle for her being around us without wanting to kill us, alright?", he joked.

Regina laughed and squeezed his hand.

"Thank you for being you, David.", she looked deeply in his eyes. "I don't know what I ever did to deserve you. Actually, considering everything I did, I really don't know how did it get me you."

"We all made mistakes, Regina. Some turn out to be worst than others, but hey, the important thing is that we learn from them. And you did. And I love you with all you flaws. You are everything to me and I am with you all the way through, don't you ever forget that."

Regina's heart melted again. The power that this man had over her was amazing.

"I really love you, David. Like I never thought I could love someone", she said, a tear falling from her eye.

David smiled and lifted a little bit, whipping her tear with this thumb. They kept staring at each other for a few seconds. The love they felt for each other could be seen in that look.

"Well. That cleared, let me get the dishes", he said, getting up.

"No", she got up too. "You cooked, I'll clean", she tried to take the plates from him.

"No way, Regina. I insist. You go get some rest. I'll be joining you in a minute."

"You really are perfect, aren't you?", Regina said, like she couldn't believe her own words.

"Yeah, well, I try", he joked again.

"And modest too!", she laughed.

He laughed. "Go on, babe, I'll be up in a second."

"Fine", she gave him a quick kiss and went upstairs. "I really am the luckiest woman alive", she tought.

After a few minutes, David had finished everything and went upstairs. It was past 11 pm, he checked.

David entered their room and all the lights were off, excect the lampshade next to Regina's side of the bed. She had taken a shower already and went to sleep. She was turned to the door, with closed eyes, already in some peaceful dream. He could tell that by the calmness on her face. The light that was slightly hitting on her face made her look even more beautiful, if that was possible.

David tried his best to be quiet and entered the bathroom. He took off his clothes and took a shower. Then he made his way to the bed. He really was tired too, couldn't wait to get some deserved rest.

As soon as he sat on the bed, Regina woke up and slowly turned to his side.

"Hey", she said with a raspy voice.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you", David said, leaning more against his pillow and turning to her.

"It's okay. I can't really sleep if you're not here with me, anyway. I'm sorry I didn't waited for you. I am just so tired", Regina said already closing her eyes again.

"I know, babe. Let's just sleep then, alright", he kissed the side of her head.

Regina moaned as a response and turned her back to his chest. She lifted her arm to turn off the lamp and got closer do David. He gently hugged her from behind and she put her hands above his on her stomach. Their bodies fit perfectly together, like two puzzle pieces.

So there you go! I really hope you enjoyed!
