A girl looking a bit older then Henry opened the door. "Hi" She said, smiling.
Henry shook his head and gave his mother a disappointed look. "I guess we're at the wrong address…" He sighed deeply. Tears filled his eyes, as he turned around to the front door.
"Hey! You're Henry, right?" The girl asked, before he could even take a step towards the door.
He turned back around. "How do you know my name?" He asked confused.
The girl smiled. "Emma talks about you all the time and you have the same facial expressions as her, so I guessed." She looked up at the brunette woman. "You must be Regina! Emma can't shut up about you either!"
Both Henry and Regina smiled at the girl. "Would you like to enter? Emma should be back in about ten minutes." The Blonde girl offered.
"Thank you, that would be nice." Regina followed the two young adults into the living room and sat down next to her son on the couch.
"Would you like something to drink?" The girl asked. They both asked for an apple juice.
"So," Regina started, "who are you and how do you know Emma?" Her curiosity got the best of her.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me!" The girl said handing over the juices.
"Well, my name is Alyssa Foster. Just like Emma I'm a foster child." She rolled her eyes. "Ironic right?" Henry chuckled. "I met Emma in jail, just after she gave birth to you." She told Henry.
"She's like a sister to me! Emma's a great person! She's helped me through a few rough times in my life! I moved in here a little over six months ago." She explained.
"Don't you have a foster family or something?" Regina asked, hoping not to sound offensive.
The girl hesitated and bit her lip. She sighed and answered the question honestly. "Well, yeah! They live downstairs, but they keep beating me up. When Emma saw it, she told them I was moving in with her. So they keep getting the foster care money, but I don't really live there."
At that moment Emma entered the living room. "At least, you do some things around here to help me to compensate!" Emma said teasingly.
Alyssa hurried of the couch and kissed Emma on the cheek. "I'll leave you three alone. I'm going to check on Chiara!" Emma nodded gratefully.
Henry stood and made his way towards Emma, hesitating once he stood in front of her. Emma rolled her eyes and grabbed his arm, pulling him into a tight hug. "God, I've missed you!" She looked up at Regina, "Both of you!"
As Henry let go of his blonde mother a few minutes later, Regina practically ran over towards them and kissed Emma passionately. Tears streamed down the brunette's cheek. She put her forehead on Emma's shoulder as Emma held her in her arms.
They were finally back together. This was their family. This was how it was meant to be. This moment was just perfect, but as Regina knew all too well: perfect moments NEVER last forever! How long would this one last?
That was a question that would need an answer later. Right now, she just wanted Emma to hold her.
A/N: Surprised? Any idea who 'Chiara' could be?
Should i write another chapter?
Let me know...
Love, Emma
