CHAPTER 4 - SPECIAL DAY

"Mom? I'm back." Regina heard her son shout from the hallway.

"In kitchen." she shout back.
"Hi, honey. Do you want something for breakfast or did you eat at Emma's?"

"I did." Henry smiled and watched her carefully.

"I heard that changing the curse didn't work yesterday. Do you wanna talk about it?"

"It's nothing to talk about. It didn't work so we will find another way. I just need some time to think." She said to Henry as she washed the bowl from her fruit salad.
"Have you any plans for today?" She asked him to change the topic.

"Nothing special. Need some help with our Operations?"

"No, no. I just thought we could make our special day today. Just the two of us, we can stay here, order a pizza, play monopoly or whatever, watch some movie or you could teach me how to play some of your video games. What you think?"

"It would be great!" Henry seemed to be excited and devious smile appeared on his face.
"But maybe I have even better idea."

"You have?" Regina raised her eyebrow questioningly.

"What if I help you with painting the baby room? I know you have already bought everything for that."

"But I can do it with magic."

"Yeah, you can but it wouldn't be too funny. I've told you I want to be the best big brother ever and this is how I can start."

"I know you will be the best big brother, Henry." She looked on him with love.
"Everything what we will need is in garage. Can you bring it upstairs?"

"Sure." Henry said and left the kitchen.

xXx

Few hours later Regina and Henry were standing in the middle of empty room with freshly painted yellow walls.

"It looks good, doesn't it?" She asked looking around.

"It does. And we are almost as yellow as the walls." He laughed, looking from his mother's clothes to his own.

"That can be fixed easily. You were right it was fun doing it with you." She waved her hand and cleaned their clothes along with the mess in the room.

"I think we are perfect team together." Henry said and came closer to his mother.

"Yes, we are." She confirmed and wrapped one her arm around his shoulders.
"Now, what if we continue with my plans for today? I will order pizza and you can choose what we will play. I think we deserve some leisure."

"I think so." Henry said and left his mother with a smile on her face in the empty baby room.

"I hope you will like your nursery, darling." She whispered to her baby when she opened the window to let the walls dry up faster.

I am sure I will. I like when you are spending your time with Henry. He can make you so happy like no one else. I love it because everything I want is you to be happy. Your laugh is the best thing ever. I love you mommy, so much!

xXx

"Pizza is here." Regina said when she entered Henry's room.

"Great I've started to be hungry already." Henry said and shifted himself to allow Regina sit next to him on the bed.
"So what about start with Scrabble?" He asked with mouth full of pizza.

"Oh, do you think you can win game of Scrabble against me?" Regina asked with raised eyebrow.

"Do you think I can't?" He asked back with playful tone.

"Show what you know." Regina wiped her fingers into tissue and reached for the letters.

"Watch me." He said determined to win.

…

"Hey, that's not a real word, Henry." Regina protested.

"I am pretty sure that is. And it means I won. Ha!" Henry lifted his hands and made some victorious dancing moves.

"Oh, you cheated."

"No, I didn't." Henry made his most innocent face.

"Yes, you did." Regina said, laughing.

"One more game?" Henry asked when he put the letters back into pouch.

"You wanted to say more cheating?" She leaned close to him and whispered.
"I don't think so." She pointed on Henry's playstation.
"Video games?"

"Sure." Henry went to turn it on and handed the controller to her.
"So quick guide. These buttons are for moving forward, backward, right and left. This is for jumping. You can choose you gun with this and this one is for shooting. Get it?" He looked at her face.

"I think so." She answered not very sure.

"Okay. Try to don't get yourself killed." Henry laughed and started the game.

...

He was sitting on his bed but his mother was so concentrated and so excited about the game that she was standing next to him almost jumping along with her animated version from the game.

"Hey, that one was with us. You better kill only the aliens."

"Sorry. But I didn't miss, at least. I think I got it." Regina said didn't look away from the screen.

"Now we need go into that castle. I have your back. Run, mom. Now! Go, go, go!" When Regina was almost there, one of the biggest aliens appeared in front the castle's door.

"Oh you can't stop me from entering any castle. I was a queen once. Here ya go, you atrocious greenie." She shoot it down and jumped over the death body.

"They encircled me. You have to find a gold ring and take it before they will kill me." Henry was shooting around himself like a madman.

"I see it. Hold on!" Regina made her animated version run as fast as it was possible and took the ring in last second.

"You did it! We won this level." Henry was smiling on his mother again.

"Like we said before – we are good team together." She sat back on the bed.

"Yeah. This was great. We should do it more often. Spent more days like this before the baby will be born."

"I promise you we will." She take his hands into hers.
"Henry, I want you to know I love you very much and this baby won't change nothing about that. It doesn't matter if you are adopted or not, you will always be my son."

"I know, mom, I love you, too." Henry hugged her tightly, he knew his mother needed him and he wanted to be there for her.

"We have one more pizza in kitchen. I've put it into oven to keep it warm. Hungry?" She asked him.

"Sure. Have you ever watch some of Harry Potter movies?"

"I heard about it but have never watch any yet." She answered when she stood up from the bed.

"So I know what we are going to watch. You will love it." He had a sparkles in his eyes.
"And mom?"

"Yes?" She turned in doors.

"Maybe some popcorn, too?" He made his best puppy eyes so when Regina was going back her hands were full of pizza, popcorn, bottle of Cola for Henry and bottle of water for her.

"I can't open the door, can you?" She shout from the stairs.

"Wow, it looks like picnic. We are lucky my bad is big enough for all of this and both of us." He said when Regina put everything down.

"Yes we are. So ready for movie night?" She sat on bed and leaned her back against the headboard.

"I am always ready for movie night." He pushed the play button on remote control and sat next to Regina with crossed legs and piece of pizza in his hand. He looked at his mother during the first scenes and she was smiling.
"What?" He wanted to know what she was thinking about.

"Nothing just... it seems like your little brother or sister likes pizza." She said and took another piece from the box.

"Well that's something what we have in common." He told with wide smile.
"Do you feel her? Or him."

"Yes, little."

"Can I?" He looked at her belly and back at her face and she nodded.

"But you can't feel anything yet."

"It doesn't matter." He put his hand on Regina's belly and asked.
"Do you think the baby can hear us?"

"I don't know. I talk to her or him sometimes so I believe in it, probably." She admitted and watched her son to move lower.

"Hello, there. My name is Henry and I'm your big brother. I can't wait to meet you, little one." He said and came back up to his mother.
"I always wanted to have a big family. Do you now that?"

"Yes, I know." She brushed the hair away from his forehead with her fingers.

"I have something for you. I wanted to wait for some occasion but why not now?" Henry went to his closet for something and when he sat back he handed her a small package.

"What's in it? She asked curiously.

"Surprise. Unwrap it and you will see." He wanted to see her reaction.

Regina looked back on the package and unwraped it. There was lovely yellow baby shoes with white stripes and little stars were on velcro.

"These are beautiful." It was so sweet that Henry had bought something for his little sibling. Regina put the shoes on Henry's bedside table and looked in his eyes.

"Henry, you are the best what happened to me in my entire life." She hugged him again.

"If you weren't here I would be still that... angry evil queen." She admitted and he broke the hug to look on her.

"But she is long lost and that's everything what matters."

"Yes, thanks to you, she is." Regina can't help herself but squeezed her son's smiling cheeks.

"Oh, please mom, don't do this again. Especially not in public. Never." He freed his face from her hands.
"I'm too old to you could do this to me."

"You will be always my little prince for me." Regina laughed at his reaction.

Henry shook his head and leaned against the pillows.
"We should better watch or you will miss some important scenes."

xXx

Regina woke up in Henry's bed. They had to fall asleep somewhere in the middle of third Harry Potter movie. The movie had already ended and the screen was lighting in blue. Regina looked on her son next to her, he seemed to sleep peacefully. She noticed that the rest of popcorn was spilled out in bed between them so she collected it back to bowl and put it on the table. When she covered Henry with a blanket, he fidgeted and opened one eye.

"Mom?"

"You can sleep, honey. Is the middle of night, I'm going to my bed. Sweet dreams." She brushed his hair gently and kissed his forehead. Then she stood up, turned the TV off, took the baby shoes from the bedside table and closed the doors quietly.

When she entered her own bedroom, she brushed the baby shoes with her fingertips and laid it into her closet next to the pink sleeper. Then she went to her bed, muffled herself into the blankets and whispered to her baby.

"You are so lucky you have such amazing big brother like Henry, darling. Do you know that? Even if we don't find your daddy, you won't be alone. You have me and Henry and I know that if something happen to me he will never leave you. He will take care of you."

I know, mommy. I like Henry very much. I can feel how much you love him and that he loves you, too. But you will be alright, you have to because I need you, mommy, and I always will even when I will claim I don't.

"But I hope he won't have to. I want so spend many many years with both of you. I want to dance with Henry on his wedding and play games with his kids and your kids, too, of course. That would be enough for me, just see your happy faces. I love you, darling."

I love you, too, mommy, very very much. I know you will got all of this and even something more. You can be truly happy despite you are afraid to have hope. But I am not. I have enough hope for both of us and I want to be your hope. Everything will be okay. I promise.

xXx

The following day Henry did his home work for school, Regina took care of laundry, went in town to do some shopping and cooked the meal. It was one of the completely ordinary days until the evening. When Regina and Henry almost finished their dinner, Regina's phone rang and she saw Snow's name on the display.

"Yes?" Regina was curious what the other woman could want in that hour.

"Regina, sorry if I disturbing you but something happened."

"What?" She frowned with some bad feeling.

"We were outside when Emma told she felt something strange about town's magic and some of Merry Men saw a flash of light somewhere around the edge of town. We have to check it out. Could you go with us?"

"Yes, sure. I'm going. Can we meet on the town line?"

"Yeah, we are on the way already. Regina, it maybe works we might changed the curse."

"We shall see." Regina ended the call. Was it really possible that the curse changed so late? She didn't dare to hope for something like that.

"What's going on?" Henry interrupted her thoughts.

"Something with magic in town. I don't know. We need to check it. Will you be alright alone here?"

"Of course." He smiled on her.

"Okay. Lock the door. I will try to come back soon." Regina put her coat on.

"Mom?"

"Yeah?" She stopped in front of doors.

"Just be careful."

"I promise." She smiled on her son and left the house.
