A/N: Hello! Here's another update for you! You might see a nervous side of Regina that we've never really seen before, but don't worry. It's only for a brief moment and then she goes back the confident Regina we all know. I may update the next chapter today as well, just because I feel like it! Love you! Enjoy!

After about an hour at the stables, they left to get picnic supplies. David, Snow, and Emma went to the store for some food while Henry went to Regina's house with her and the baby to get some dessert and a few other snacks. Jasmine and Aladdin were sent to the park to find a good spot and wait for the others to return.

"Mom?"

"Yes, Henry?" The former mayor answered as they entered the kitchen. Olivia took a small nap.

"What's wrong?"

"What do you mean, hon?"

"You seem a little worried."

"Do I?"

"Yeah...Is everything okay?"

"Well..." She didn't want to lie. She seized her search for some snacks and moved closer to her son, lifting him up onto a stool by the counter as best she could. He was growing way too fast. "You know that Jasmine was hurt bad?"

"Yes?"

"The man who hurt her...she won't tell anyone who it was, but he called here this morning-"

"He did?"

"Yes...He wants me to bring her to the docks tomorrow-"

"You can't-"

"Henry, I have to."

"Why?" He pulled his hand away from hers.

"Because Henry. He said that if I don't...He'll hurt someone. He might hurt Olivia...Maybe you. I can't let that happen-"

"Yes, but if you bring Jasmine, he'll hurt her. He might hurt you!"

"Henry..." She reached for his hand again, but he moved it farther away. "Don't worry about me. I promise he's not gonna hurt anyone else."

He looked into her eyes and finally allowed her to hold his hand. Then he nodded. "Just please be careful. And you should bring my mom, Grandma, and Grandpa too. They might be able to help."

"I don't think so, Henry. This man is very dangerous and he told me not to bring anybody besides Jasmine and I. But please...let's just enjoy today." She gave him a weak smile and he returned one of his own.

"Does Jasmine know?" He asked quietly.

"No...I don't wanna frighten her anymore today. I'll let her know tonight. Okay?"

"Okay." She kissed him on the forehead and the oven made a noise as the apple cookies and the chocolate chip cookies finished baking. She took them out and then continued to search for something else to bring.

Olivia woke up about a half an hour later and they left for the park in Regina's Mercedes Benz. She had never let Henry sit in the front before, because she was so strict and protective. Today was the first time he was able to sit next to his adoptive mother while she drove. He looked at her in the driver's seat and smiled.

"What?" She asked, noticing and then smiling herself.

"Nothing." He looked straight ahead. "I'm just happy."

She looked at him with more love in her smile than she thought she could hold and she gently rubbed his cheek and then pinched his nose playfully. At this moment...she felt good enough. Yes, it had been such a long time coming, but she did.

"Sounds like you're not the only one who's happy." She said as Olivia laughed in the back seat.

Henry turned to look at her. "What is she laughing at?" He wondered, smiling.

"I have no idea." She answered as they pulled into the parking lot by the park. "But I think I do now." She said upon arriving.

Henry, curious, turned back to look through the windshield. "Oh. Now it makes sense." He smiled, seeing Jasmine and Aladdin sitting at a picnic table underneath a few trees. They were both laughing and it explained why Olivia was as well. Henry began to unbuckle.

"It's about time." Regina said.

"About time for what?" Henry asked, realizing she wasn't moving, but just watching. She hadn't even reached for her belt yet.

"Those two." She replied, hands still on the steering wheel.

He looked one more time at the two teens and smiled seeing that they were obviously having a good conversation. He looked back to his mother. "Are we gonna go?"

"No. We'll wait til the others get here. Let them have a little bit more time together." She smiled, her seat belt still on.

He smiled at her. "Okay." He relaxed and looked back at Olivia once more. "Well, at least she's happy too." He said, chuckling a little bit.

She turned around to see her baby girl and smiled as well.

After about five minutes, the Charmings finally arrived in David's truck and everyone got out and helped carry something. Regina had the cookies in one hand and Olivia's car seat in the other. Jasmine must've felt that they were there because suddenly, she rushed from the table over to her baby sister and took the seat from her mother, while Aladdin assisted David in whatever way he could.

Henry ran to the table with the picnic blanket, setting it neatly on top of it. Emma and Mary Margaret set the plastic ware down and Regina followed, putting her cookies on one side of the table. David and Aladdin brought the rest of the food and Henry brought back some condiments.

"Who's gonna make the hot dogs and hamburgers?" Emma wondered out loud.

"I can." Both David and Regina said in unison. They both smiled at each other and giggled.

"I'll do it." Regina tried to re offer.

"No, Regina. Let me. You sit down and relax." David said.

She hesitated for a moment. "Okay." She sat on the spot on the bench in front of Olivia's car seat. She took her out and set the carrier on the ground. She fixed the cute little headband that she had on and began to pat her back before switching the position she had her in so she could feed her with the bottle.

"Regina. Let me do that. David said to relax." Jasmine reached over to her mother and took the baby and the bottle from her faster than Regina could say no.

Henry and Aladdin were playing a game that no one understood but the two of them while David made the hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill next to the table. Emma, Mary Margaret, and Regina sat at the table talking about motherly stuff while Jasmine continued to feed the baby next to Regina. Her mother noticed that both she and Aladdin would occasionally give each other the same smiles as they continued to do their own thing.

Finally, she decided to say something. "So, Jasmine...I'm guessing things are good between you and Aladdin."

Jasmine seized looking at him and she turned to look at Emma and Snow, her cheeks blushing a little, before looking back at her mother and then to the baby in her arms. "Yeah. We're...Okay."

"Seems better than okay. You two can't stop looking at each other." Snow smiled. And Regina was grateful that she wasn't the only one who noticed.

Jasmine tried fighting back a smile, but it didn't work.

"I've seen that look before." Emma said, smiling herself.

"What look?" The teen asked, her cheeks now almost as pink as her baby sister's shirt.

"The look that says 'I like someone and they might like me.' Trust me. I've gone through it many times. It's like...you finally feel good enough for once."

Jasmine didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and finished feeding Olivia the bottle.

"Well...I'm gonna have to have a talk with him later then."

"David!" Snow said and they all laughed. He didn't realize he said that loud enough for anyone to hear him.

"What? I'm not letting him get away with not having the protective father talk. Just 'cause she doesn't have a father doesn't mean he's not getting one." David smiled as he flipped a burger.

"Is the food done yet?!" Henry yelled as he excitedly ran over to the laughing group, quickly sitting down next to Emma, close to the grill as Aladdin sat across from him next to Jasmine. She finished feeding Olivia and set the bottle on the table, putting her on the burp cloth over her shoulder to pat her back.

"Almost, kid." David smiled.

"You're really good at that." Aladdin admired Jasmine with the baby.

"Maternal instinct. Every woman has it." Snow smiled. "Whether they have children or not."

"And she's not having any for a long time." Regina scolded, giving both Jasmine and Aladdin a look that said 'Don't even think about it!' They both just looked at her, expressionless. "Right?"

"Right." They very quickly responded, both feeling utterly terrified and somewhat violated.

"Good." Snow, Regina, and David all said in unison after ending their long stare at the teenagers.

"Wait, HOW old are you?" The Savior asked.

"Seventeen, but I turn eighteen in a couple of months." Jasmine responded.

"I'm almost nineteen." Aladdin answered.

"Oh." Emma felt awkward due to the fact that she was Jasmine's age when she got pregnant with Henry, so she decided not to say anything more.

"Hotdogs and hamburgers are done." David said, picking up each link and patty, putting them onto a plate for the center of the table.

"Thank goodness, I'm starving!" Henry exaggerated, being the first to reach across the middle of the table for a hotdog.

"Oh! Be careful, honey!" Regina said loudly.

"They might still be hot!" Both she and David said at the same time before making eye contact.

"Here. Use a fork." Regina reached for a plastic fork when she accidentally knocked over the whole red solo cup full of utensils. Letting out a sigh she apologized to Emma who had had the plastic ware perfectly organized by spoons, knives, and forks. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Mary Margaret said.

"Here. I got it." She immediately began to pick them up as if she were panicking, while Snow grabbed her hand. Calming down a bit, Regina looked into Snow's eyes. "Don't worry about it." She smiled. "I think we've all learned the differences between a fork, a knife, and a spoon by now." She almost laughed, Emma giving her a look that said 'I worked hard on those.' Snow returned a look that said 'They're just plastic utensils, Emma.'

Regina nodded and slowly smiled, letting go of the forks that she had already picked up and leaving them where they had fallen. Snow released her hand and Regina sat back down as David finally made his way to a seat. Awkwardly enough, the only open spot was on the other side of Regina, seeing as the food basket was on the bench beside Mary Margaret.

He began to sit down when Regina gave him a look that he recognized as a look from her altar ego, the Evil Queen, stating that sitting next to her was a bad idea. Then she received a look from him that asked 'Why not?' and she shot her eyes at the woman across the table from her, which meant that it'd be wrong of him not to sit near his betrothed.

Charming set down his plate across from him and stood up, he was about to move the basket to sit next to his wife when she stopped him.

"You can sit there." She noticed the wide-eyed-surprised look she'd gotten from Regina across from her and she looked at her stepmother and smiled lightly. "Go on." She nodded her husband towards the other bench.

He looked at Regina wondering if it was okay and she looked up at him, giving one nod before he sat.

"Alright." He said, clapping his hands when he finally got settled. "Dig in."

Henry, with a fork this time, got himself a hotdog and two burgers, Regina, mentally shaking her head at his manners and then finally thinking to herself to just forget about it and be the cool, relaxed mom for once.
