A/N: This chapter's pretty long, but I just couldn't stop writing. Haha. Hope you enjoy! Mwah!

"I'll take...hmmm..." Henry couldn't seem to choose the flavor he wanted after watching everyone else pick theirs.

"Double Chocolate Fudge?" Snow suggested before he shook his head.

"Cherry Jubilee?" David wondered.

"Nah."

"The Cappuccino Crunch sounds interesting." Jasmine tried to chime in. Aladdin made no suggestions because he was too busy being fascinated by the amount of flavors he was seeing.

"What about the Rocky Road, kid?" Emma asked, putting her arm around his shoulders as they all looked through the glass into the freezer at the variety of flavors.

He looked up at his biological mother and turned his head back to look at the display of ice cream.

"Hmmm..." He continued to think.

"I know." Regina smiled, looking at the clerk behind the counter. "Get him the Chocolate Birthday Cake. In a bowl." She smiled as she reached into her full pocket book to search for her wallet.

"How's that sound?" Emma asked looking down at him. He looked up at her and grinned, nodding.

The clerk reached her hand across the counter, handing the bowl to Regina who took it and handed it to her son, grinning and thinking to herself that she knew him better than anyone here.

"Thank you." Henry smiled quickly taking it from his mother and immediately digging in with his spoon.

"And you?" Ms. Ginger asked Regina from across the glass.

"Sundae with Soft Coffee, please." She said, still trying to find.

"Shall we take a table outside?" Emma asked as she took a lick of her own cone.

"Yeah, let's go!" Aladdin said, extremely excited about this new thing called ice cream. Unfortunately he didn't anticipate that it would melt so quickly, so his cone sat upside down in the bowl that Jasmine got for him.

"Shouldn't we wait for my mom to get her sundae?" Henry asked, licking the spoon.

"You all go on, I'll be out in a moment." She smiled.

They all left except for Snow and Charming. Mary Margaret stopped herself from leaving and she let the door close before walking back over to stand next to her stepmother, David following.

"Go on. I'll be out in a minute." She said, still digging through her purse and finally finding her wallet.

"We can't let you pay for all of this." The optimistic princess said.

"We WON'T let you." David corrected, immediately reaching into his back pocket for his wallet.

Regina had no chance to say no before David already placed the money on the counter in front of Ms. Ginger who took it very quickly after setting Regina's finally finished sundae beaide the money. She counted the money in her hand. Regina was about to hand her her half of the bill when she realized that the woman handed the receipt and change to David.

"Have a nice day!" Ms. Ginger said, causing Regina to realize that David paid foe the whole thing.

"I-" Regina was about to say something to him but he smiled at her and the other two ladies before leaving immediately.

"I was gonna split it, but-"

"Don't worry about it." Snow smiled at her as Regina finished stuffing her wallet back into her bag, placing it over her shoulder.

"Wait." Regina stopped Mary Margaret from leaving. "May I speak with you?" She asked in her low, mayoral voice. Ms. Ginger had gone to the back, leaving the parlor empty besides the two brunettes.

"What is it?" Snow asked.

"You've said that twice today...with the same look on your face. What is it?"

'I'm sorry?" Snow was confused.

"Don't play games with me. Twice today, you've said 'Don't worry about it.' Is there something you need to tell me? I don't-"

"Oh, Regina." The butterflies in her stomach disappeared and she lightly chuckled.

"What is it? Because I-"

"Regina!" Snow interrupted. "It's nothing. I'm just...I see that you've changed and...I guess it's just my way of saying...I forgive you and..."

"And what?"

There was a slight pause.

"I know that you still love David."

"Snow, I-"

"No, no, no. It's okay. I see it in your eyes." She smiled again. "I see it in his, too.."

Regina felt somewhat sorry for all of this happening...But ahe didn't know why...David was hers in the first place. Snow took him from her, but she still felt sorry. Had she really changed more than she realized?

"When I say 'Don't worry about it. ' I guess I'm referring to you and David."

"Snow. I don't mean to-"

"I guess we've been over for a while." Snow confessed

"What?"

"We still love eachother, but we're not in love anymore...The last seven months have been nothing but boredom between us."

"It has?" Regina asked with remorse and a monotonous voice.

"Oir whole relationship has been thrilling because it's been us trying to find eachother and get away from-"

"Me." Regina said, awkwardly looking down and away.

"Well, we've been doing that for so long, we haven't had a chance to truly spend tome together...and during the last seven months...it's been thrill-free and I don't feel the spark anymore."

"I suppose this is my fault." Regina said, regretless, but joyless as well.

"No. It would've ended eventually."

"But he's your true love." The former mayor tried to justify.

"He's yours too...and it'd be awfully selfish of me to keep your love from you again. It's time that YOU had your best chance." Snow smiled, a tear falling down her cheek.

Regina had no response, but as a reflex, her hand reached up and wiped away Snow's tear.

"Now, let's go before our sundaes melt." Snow said, picking up Regina's bowl and handing it to her, before leaving as Regina followed.

They all enjoyed their ice creams and had small talk before it finally came up.

"Jasmine, I need to ask you something." Regina said as she bounced Olivia at the table outside.

"What is it?" She asked, sitting close to Aladdin as he put his arm around her shoulder.

"I need to know who he is."

Jasmine's smile relaxed, knowing exactly who she meant. She also knew that she'd eventually have to tell them. She sighed as everyone looked at her, waiting for the answer.

"His name...is Jafar. We were to be married in Agrabah if I couldn't find my own husband...He grew angry when Aladdin and I said that we'd get married. He was already evil and powerful, but when we pretended we were in love to get me out of it, he decided he'd do anything to get power and have me for his wife. My flying carpet saved me when it brought me to another land and I've traveled to many realms trying to get away from him. I thought I was finally free of him when I came here...but I was wrong."

"It's okay, Jasmine." Aladdin said as he held her closer to him for comfort.

"It's weird, though." She said as if she was realizing something.

"What is?" Snow asked sadly.

"I never thought I'd actually like him." She said teasing Aladdin as he lightly laughed.

"Jasmine." Regina began, the only one not chuckling a little at the couple. "Do you know any way to defeat him?"

"I don't know. But I do know that he's more powerful when he has cobra walking stick."

"Ha!" Regina laughed once at how obsurd that sounded, shaking her head.

"It's true." Aladdin said. "It's stronger than you think."

"Well," David started. "Why do you ask, Regina?"

Her smirk faded. "He-He called me."

"What?"

"What?"

"What?!"

"When!?" David wondered, not realizing he stood up.

"This morning."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jasmine asked.

"I didn't want to scare you, but-"

"But what? What dis he say?"

"He said that we need to meet him at the docks tomorrow morning or...he'll hurt Olivia."

"No way." Aladdin said.

"Out of the question." David exclaimed.

"You can't!" Emma reaponded.

"We don't have a choice." Regina said, a little annoyed.

"No, it's too dangerous if you go." Snow said.

"It's too dangerous if we don't go." Regina retorted.

"No. We have to go." Jasmine said, knowingly.

"But-" Aladdin began.

"We have to...It's the only way to save Olivia."

"How do we know that's true?" Emma asked.

"Because he won't hurt a baby if he doesn't have to." Jasmine answered. "I know him more than you think. He may be a monster, but he only does what he has to to get what he wants...and if we do what he wants, he won't hurt Olivia."

"But-"

"It's okay. I'll have to face him someday."

"Jasmine...are you sure you're ready?" David asked protectively as he finally sat back down.

"Yes. I shouldn't run from my fears anymore. Plus, I've decided that as long as I'm surrounded by the love I have now, I should be okay." She smiled at Regina and then she looked up at Aladdin as she grabbed Henry's hand beside her and held it.

Regina just stared at her for a moment before standing up.

"Here." She unexpectedly put Olivia in David's arms and walked away from the table as they all watched her leave.

"I should go-"

"It's okay, David. I got it." Jasmine said standing up and walking over to her. "Hey."

Regina put her head down and Jasmine realized she was angry and trying to stop herself from crying tears of frustration.

"What is it?"

The queen just shook her head.

"Is it David? Victor?"

"No. It's not them. It's me." She looked at the teen with sorrow-filled eyes. "I'm sorry, Jasmine." Her head lowered once again.

"For what?"

"For having to do this. Having to take you there."

"It's okay, really."

"But you're scared. I can see it and I hate having to force this upon you."

"You're not forcing anything upon me...Besides, what should I be afraid of when I've got you there with me."

Regina looked back up to her and saw her brave smile.

"Hey," Jasmine adorably scrunched her nose and put her hand on Regina's arm. "We've got this." She squinted her eyes, causing Regina to realize how similar they were at times and she nodded, gently smiling. "So, did you tell David?" Jasmine changed the subject.

"Yes...and Snow."

"Really?" An impressed young lady exclaimed.

"Really."

"And what'd they say?"

"David loves me, too."

"They BOTH said that?"Jasmine couldn't help but grin widely.

"Yes."

"Well? Why do you look so upset?"

"Because, Jasmine. We can't be together. It'll just happen exactly the way it did before. You wouldn't know, becau-"

"Yes, I would."

"What?"

"I do know. I was there."

"Where?"

"I saw the whole thing. That was my first day here."

"How did-Really?"

"Yes. And Rumpelstiltskin made a potion so that we remembered."

Regina had no response.

"Hey, it'll all work out. I know it." Jasmine smiled and Regina looked back at David holding Olivia. She turned and smiled back at Jasmine.

"Come on." Jasmine nodded her head toward the table, taking Regina's hand and leading her back over to the others.

Regina sat back down beside David as she fabulously flipped her hair out of her face with a little whip of her head. She turned to look at David and smiled at him. He tried to hand Olivia back to her but she put her hand up, properly to stop him.

"You can keep her, David."

He paused. "Thank you." He smiled at his baby girl.

"Are you gonna move over?" Jasmine asked Aladdin as she stood by his seat, waiting for him to let her through to her chair.

He looked at the chair next to him and then back up to her, shaking his head no with a large grin on his face.

"There are no seats here." He teased.

"My chair's right there." She raised an eyebrow, smirking. "But you're in the way."

He shrugges his shoulders. "Oh well." He turned his head away from her and continued to talk to Henry.

"Looks like you asked for it." She joked.

Aladdin was caught off-guard when she decided to just sit on his lap. At first he just looked up at her, but soon he got comfortable and put his arms around her waist from behind. When she realized he was enjoying it, she realized she had easier access to climb over him and sit in her chair, so she did. Then she moved her chair away from him, causing him to groan sadly. She looked at him as he ridiculously pouted his lower lip at her with puppy dog eyes.

She looked to her right at Henry and they laughed before she moved her chair back to where it was, holding Aladdin's hand once she did.

"Aw. Look at you two." Snow said.

"And to think just this morning you were at eachother's throats." David said as he rocked Olivia in his arms.

"You were?" Emma wondered.

"Well, not really. We just argue a lot." Jasmine justified.

"Well, when you call me names-"

"Hey. You like it and you know it." Jasmine said as they each teasingly got in eachother's faces, her nose scrunched as he admired her with a smile.

"Jasmine!" Regina gave her a disapproving look, as she thought that they were being inappropriate in front of Henry.

"What?" She asked looking at her. "Back in Agrabah when we first met, he had a fake identity and his genie gave him the name Ali Ababwa, so I call him that."

"But it annoys me and she knows that."

"But you don't care when it's me who calls you that." She said.

"Oh yeah?" He smiled.

"Mhm." She scrunched her nose again.

"Who told you that?"

"No one. I just know."

"Oh. Okay." He nodded looking at David across the table, almost winking at him.

"I'm right." She bragged and looked away from him and at her mother who couldn't help but laugh along with the other adults.

"You fight like a married couple already." Emma said, somewhat astounded.

"Hey. Don't rush things." Regina said. "They haven't even had their first date yet."

"I guess we should take care of that, shouldn't we?" Aladdin smiled. "Hey Jasmine, wanna go on a date tonight?"

"Love to." She answered quickly as if she were attempting to get something off of her bucket list.

"Piece of cake." Henry laughed before looking at Regina. He's seen that look before. The look of sadness because her child was growing up too fast. But he also saw light in her eyes. She was happy for Jasmine...and worried for tomorrow.

A/N: Some truth came out in this chapter...but Evil Charming fluff is to come! ;P Can't wait!
