Chapter named after this song: The Middle of Starting Over by Sabrina Carpenter

"The colors and the stars

Seem a little brighter

Tomorrow isn't far away!

Through the hardest part

I'm working towards a happy ending."

ENJOY!

Regina woke up an hour later, not even realizing she had fallen asleep. She looked to her left and saw Maleficent laying there, still fast asleep. She smiled. She never thought she could be this happy again - this was her third time.

She did have a past with Mal, but they both thought it wouldn't work and they did break up - technically she walked away from their relationship, and she regretted it every day after that.

They had met after Daniel had died, when she had grown tired of her mother's constant interferences in her life. She had found one of her mother's old spell books, and looked up Rumplestiltskin who then pointed her in the direction of Maleficent, where she had spent most of her time after (pushing her mother through the looking glass) and Leopold did not seem to mind that she was gone most of the time, day or night.

Those nights when Maleficent had her pinned up against the wall kissing her roughly, fingers working their magic and didn't stop until her whole body was shaking. Regina smiled as the memories kept playing in her head. She still had her eyes on Mal, but she was in her own world, smiling like an idiot so she didn't see that Maleficent had opened her eyes and was looking at her.

Mal cleared her throat and Regina shook her head and looked into Mal's blue eyes.

"Good morning." Mal chuckled.

"Morning…" Regina stuttered obviously embarrassed.

Mal raised an eyebrow.

"Someone must have thought of something… should I say dirty… since you are blushing dear." Mal teased.

The air caught in Regina's throat, and she started coughing.

"So I was right, it was something dirty." Maleficent smirked.

"Maybe." Regina simply answered not giving in too easily.

"So you're not gonna tell me what it is?"

"Nope."

"You sure about that?" Maleficent laughed.

"Totally." Regina smiled.

Maleficent rolled over so she was on top of Regina and said;

"are you really sure about that?"

"Confident." Regina shot back, still not giving up, even though Mal had a tight grip on her arms.

Mal raised an eyebrow again before she went for kissing Regina on the neck avoiding her favorite spot. She had one hand tickling Regina on her side.

Regina started giggling and squirming under Maleficent's hold.

"Are you sure now?"

"No." Regina let out between her giggles.

Maleficent stopped tickling her and placed a kiss on her lips.

"Good girl. Now spill!"

"Okay, okay! I was just watching you sleep again…"

Mal's face turned red.

"No need to be embarrassed honey, it brought me so many amazing memories. If I had never found that spell book that belonged to my mother I would've never found Rumplestiltskin, and he wouldn't have led me to you."

Mal smiled, and Regina kept going;

"If I had never pushed my mother through that mirror, I would have never been able to disappear from my duties that long. Leopold certainly didn't care, but my mother would have, I wouldn't have been able to see you. Have you pin me up against the wall, kissing me, and you wouldn't have made me shake in an unholy manner."

Maleficent leaned in and kissed Regina once more.

"I love you."

"I love you too. Now please get off of me!"

Mal rolled over quickly, and Regina got up and ran into the bathroom.

Mal had been sitting on her bladder for way too long.

Regina let out a sigh of relief when she reached the toilet.

Confused, Mal got up from the bed and followed Regina into the bathroom.

"You okay dear?" She asked as she entered.

"Yeah." Regina laughed.

"Oh my god, sorry babe… I… didn't… know! Why didn't you say anything?!" Mal exclaimed in panic.

"Because I didn't wanna ruin our moment." Regina smiled.

Mal smiled and leaned against the sink.

When Regina was done they got dressed and walked down to the kitchen for something to eat.

Maleficent's stomach let out a growl letting the two of them know that someone was hungry.

"Anything special you want dear?" Regina asked.

"Right now anything would be good." Mal laughed.

"Okay then."

Regina decided to make her special blueberry pancakes. She sat down next to Mal and smiled.

Regina took a bite, watching Mal, who was looking down at her plate.

"It's blueberries you don't have to be afraid."

Mal chuckled before she took a bite and smiled.

"Oh my god Regina this is delicious!" She exclaimed happily.

"I knew you would like it."

After lunch they did the dishes together.

They decided to head for a stroll after in the sunny afternoon. They sat down by the benches at the docks, looking out over the water.

"Regina if I decide to look for our child, would you be there?"

Regina took Maleficent's hand and squeezed it.

"You know I would."

As they walked back hand in hand smiling, the sun started shifting to rain. It was only drizzling and as they reached Regina's house and Regina was about to open the door, Maleficent dragged her out in the rain again taking her lips into hers and kissing her passionately in the now pouring rain.

Yes this was definitely her happy ending.

Until next time :*
