A/N: Only three more chapters to go. Hope you are still enjoying this! (:

"What are they saying love?" Hook asked looking over at the Evil Queen and the rather handsome young man she was dining with.

"I don't know, I think Regina cast some sort of spell over them, because she just laughed out and we didn't hear anything." Emma pointed out annoyed as Henry looked over at them. They were in a deep conversation that was being magically protected.

"I don't like this, what if he tries to make her use dark magic, she just got light magic." Henry voiced his concern. He also didn't trust the man, this Danny, there was something that was off about the man. He tried remembering if he'd ever met the man before and nothing came to mind. Yeah, he did seem familiar but Henry didn't recognize him.

"We don't know that Henry, maybe what they are talking about is just private." Emma tried as Henry shook his head. She really didn't care what the woman did, she was still evil. Emma blinked momentarily looking over at the two brunettes who were conversing. She'd never thought of Regina as evil, manipulative, yes. Conniving, certainly, but never evil, even when she'd met her in the enchanted forest. She saw the pain in the woman's eyes masked by this dominating exterior to control everything.

"Yeah, right, why didn't I think of that?" Henry rolled his eyes. "Mom would be having the conversation in a more private setting. You know her, Emma. She wouldn't be here, especially now that she could run into Robin or well, you." Henry added as Emma sighed in defeat, Henry was right something was going on with this newcomer and her wondering malicious thoughts.

"As the Sheriff of this town you could go talk to him love," Hook pointed out as Emma looked at him. "Regina just got up she may be heading to the restroom." Hook nodded in the direction that Regina was headed and Emma sighed looking at her boyfriend and son.

"Alright, I'll go over and question him."

The older Henry had suggested that Regina leave him alone for a minute or two to see if Emma or Henry would come over to talk to him. He ran his hand over his face just as Regina had stood up thinking about everything that had happened.

A week since Emma started a relationship with Killian 'Captain Hook' Jones. It had been seven days since Emma had brought back Marian from the past. It had been seven days since anyone had seen Regina, and seven days since the warning she'd given Emma. Seven days ago it seemed everything changed, seven days of trying to sort of two sets of memories that were drastically different. So much had changed in the past seven days that a twenty-five year old Henry wasn't even entirely sure if he could fix the wrong that had been done.

But he had to fix his future since his idiot blonde mother had messed it up, leave it to Emma to mess up the timeline. Leave it to Emma to start dating Killian Jones, Henry shuddered at the thought, even more so at his brief fascination of the man during the 'lost year'. Letting out a deep breath he looked up and saw that Emma was making her way over to him. Henry pulled on his ear subtly making Emma trip by magic as she neared him.

"Oh Sheriff, are you alright?" Henry asked reaching out to her as she looked around embarrassed.

"Um—uh, yeah, that was weird." Emma stammered taking his hand and pulling herself up. "Thanks, uh, I don't think we've met." Emma blinked trying to find herself as she looked into his seemingly familiar deep cocoa eyes. Regina. That's who she thought of when she looked at him, his eyes were similar to hers.

"Names Danny, Danny Miller." His voice was deep with a slight scratchiness to it as he offered her a smile.

"Emma love, are you alright?" Hook stepped forward glaring at this Danny Miller who was still holding Emma's hand. He was suspicious of the lad, even more so because of his associate with the Evil Queen.

"Yeah, um, Daniel, why are you here? What do you want with Regina?" Emma asked looking at him skeptically as she straightened out her clothes.

"No, not Daniel, just Danny and I'm here because I want to be here, and the latter Sheriff Swan is none of your business." Henry spoke calmly with a glare. He had to remind himself that this wasn't the woman who'd murdered his mother, she had the potential to be that version just as she had the potential to be Nana and Fi's other mother.

"As sheriff of this town, I think it is my business especially when it has to do with my son's other mother." Henry smiled noting what she'd called Regina. So whatever it was Hook was doing to her didn't have its full hold on her. His smile turned into a rather smug expression as he found himself looking past Emma and Hook and at his younger self who was staring at them intently. Henry winked at his younger self before turning his attention back to his blonde mother and Hook.

"I mean her no harm, I'm going to protect her, from you two." Henry sneered glaring at them being disappearing in a puff of navy smoke.

"H-he has magic?" Henry asked walking over to Hook and Emma as they both looked at him before looking to Regina. She'd heard everything and while she appreciated the protectiveness of Emma, it was Emma who was supposedly going to kill her.

"Yes, he does have magic. Henry please don't worry, Danny is here to help me." Regina explained not liking that she had to keep things from him.

"But he has magic mom! What if he is here to try and kill you?" The absurdity of it made her laugh out as Henry looked at her not understanding that his older self was here to save her from the supposed Savior who was going to kill her.

"Henry, I need you to trust me, Danny is not here to kill me." Regina kneeled to his height as she spoke to him. She looked into his brown eyes that mirrored hers, a part of was surprised that her brilliant boy hadn't figured out who Danny really was.

"There's something about him mom." Henry pleaded as she brushed his hair back and kissed his forehead.

"Yes there is, but I trust him Henry, I trust him with my life. He is not going to hurt me, ok?" Henry looked into his moms eyes. He could tell that she believed in this person, this Danny.

"Ok mom, just be careful, I love you."

"I love you too my sweet prince."
