A/N: Omg! Sorry, it's been so long. I've been super busy with filming and the premiere of my movie and I'm the lead in the school play (which is tonight lol) as well as an off Broadway play in New York City. I've also had a terrible case of writer's block and one day some new ideas just hit me. I hope you enjoy these next few chapters. This story's not over yet! xD Mwah!

"Alright, David." Regina said when she stepped off of the last stair into the foyer and walked into the family room.

He stood, still holding Olivia, and turned to see her weakly smiling.

"I'll do it tonight."

"What?"

"I'll talk to one of the pirates tonight. But you're gonna have to watch Henry and Olivia for me." Her smile faded when she gently rubbed Olivia's back over David's right shoulder as he stepped closer to her.

"Okay." He stared at her for a moment, and this time HE was the one looking at HER strangely. But she didn't ask, knowing that it was the same look she had just given him not too long ago. "How's Henry?" He finally decided to ask. "It SOUNDS like everything's okay. I thought I heard laughing up there." He grinned.

She looked up to the top of the stairs and smiled, remembering the actual fight that turned into a tickle fight in his bedroom a few minutes ago. "He's fine. I just-need to stop snapping at him when I'm stressed out." She half mumbled to herself when she said, "It's not his fault I'm worse at being a mother than I thought."

"You're a good mother." David retorted. "With a short temper, that's all."

It took her a moment to realize he was making a joke and she lightly chuckled. That caused him to smile as he remembered how long it had been since he had been the one to make her laugh.

"Hey, Grandpa." Henry said as he joyfully came down the stairs.

"Hey." David smiled up at him.

"Hon."

"Yeah, Mom?" Henry repiled.

"I'm gonna have you stay with David tonight, okay?"

"At Granny's? Why can't I just stay with Emma?"

"Because, maybe your grandfather wants to spend some time with you." David answered as he rustled Henry's hair.

Regina made a weird look when he said 'grandfather.'

"What do you say we go out for lunch and then get some ice cream?"

"Now?" Henry wondered. "Mom hasn't even finished making breakfast yet."

"Well, why don't we eat breakfast and then you, David, and Olivia go out to the park? THEN you can go get lunch and have ice cream?"

"Sure." Henry smiled.

"And why don't you stay for breakfast? It won't make sense for you to leave and then come back." Regina said to David.

"What are we having?" He asked Henry, while still smiling at Regina.

"Apple pancakes." Henry said enthusiastically as he ran to the kitchen and yelled, "I'm gonna finish stirring the mix!"

"Thanks." David said after laughing at Henry's sudden return to his usual self.

"No, thank you." Regina replied before she turned and they walked to the kitchen to join Henry.

If it weren't for Henry and his optimism and excitement, breakfast would've been bittersweet. David and Regina hardly spoke a word to eachother. They were overly polite and extremely friendly, but never did they say anything too revealing of their emotions. The truth is that there were too many to reveal.

Regina looked at herself in the mirror before she was about to leave the house and head for The Rabbit Hole. How she was going to get home she had no idea, but right now she didn't care. All she knew was that she called the bar and asked if the pirates were there, which she knew was dumb because they were pirates. Of course they'd be at a bar. But she had to make sure anyways.

She put on her light jacket and opened the door, surprised at what she was seeing when it revealed Victor standing on the porch with his arm in the air as if he were just about to knock when she opened it.

"Victor, wha-"

"Really, Regina?"

"What?"

"You're going out, aren't you?"

"What would make you say that?"

"It's Thursday."

"So? Why does the day of the week matter?"

"Well, two reasons. First of all, David only has Olivia on the weekends and I saw him not too long ago with your son and daughter at the ice cream shop down the street from Granny's. That means you needed him to watch them so you could go out drinking tonight. Which brings us to number two. No normal person drinks on a Thursday night unless they're an alcoholic. And I know. I used to be one."

"Victor-" She tried stepping passed him, but he put his hands up on the door frame to prevent her from leaving.

"Regina this has to stop."

"Victor, this is none of your concern, okay? Just let me go."

"No. There's no reason for you to treat David like this."

"What? What are you talking about?" She stopped trying to escape.

"Remember what I said the other day?"

"Yes? In fact that's all I've been able to think about since. But I don't understand what that has to do with me going out."

"You don't? Well, the fact that you and I spent some time together and you were trying your hardest to stop me from drinking and now YOU are. And the fact that you have been treating David more like a babysitter than a father." She rolled her eyes and smiled, trying to get passed him once more. "He got divorced for you and you just-"

"Wait! What?" She was suddenly weak and it was barely audible as she whispered. "He got-" She took a deep breath in. "How long?"

"Oh, it's been about a little more than two months now." Victor answered sarcastically like it was no big deal.

"Wh-Why didn't he tell me?" She asked herself aloud.

"I don't know. But listen, I love you. And he loves you. And we don't want you to be alone. And neither did Jas-"

"Stop." She finally decided to just be unlike a queen for one second as she ducked under his arm unlady like and walked passed him.

He had to jog almost to catch up to her down the path towards her car after shutting the front door. He shouted after her.

"Regina, she made that wish so you could be happy." He almost ran into her as she stopped abruptly and turned around to face him.

"I don't know why she made that wish, but it wasn't for me." She practically shouted back at him.

"No. You're right. She didn't." Regina turned around and continued to walk to the car. "She made it for all of us." She stopped again. This time, her hand was on the handle of the driver's side door to the car. "And the only way we can all be together is if we're here, in this world. You can be with David now Regina. The Dark Curse has been lifted by your daughter's dying wish and instead of you trying to grant that wish, your feeling sorry for yourself. Well, you know what. You don't have to. Because I feel sorry for you."

She turned around and gave him her Evil Queen glare.

"See? That's who you really are. Not this weak little thing that lets others push her around. You don't cry and that's exactly why you haven't cried since Jasmine died. Because it's who you are." He took a step toward her and got in her face. "I guess you are still selfish."

"Selfish?!" She asked appallingly.

"Yes. You're selfish. Just because YOU won't take you're happy ending, other people are deprived of theirs. That's selfish. You stand around all day and party all night because you feel sorry for yourself. That's damn well selfish. You won't visit your daughter's grave because you don't want to feel the pain. And that's selfish."

Suddenly, he felt the hard slap to the face and he stepped back from the impact.

"You have no idea how I feel!" She looked at him holding his cheek. "I have to go." She turned around to leave, but she heard her name come from behind Victor, who turned around to see. His hand still cupping his face.

"Regina."

"What do you want?" Regina asked angrily. "Where are the kids?"

"They're with Emma." She rolled her eyes. "Regina."

"What, David?!" She asked annoyingly.

"Victor had an idea."

"You need to see her." Dr. Whale stepped in carefully, so as not to get his feet burned.

"Not tonight. I'm sorry, but I've got a favor to fulfill. YOURS, by the way." She reminded David.

"This is more important." Charming said softly.

"I'm not going." Regina said as she turned around and opened the car door.

"We thought you might say that." Victor said before he and David stepped to the side and Mr. Gold walked in between them.

"You can't-"

Before she could finish, Rumple waved his hands and in a cloud of smoke, all four of them were in the Mills' family mausoleum. Jasmine's coffin lay in between Regina and the other three.
