It was 4:56 in the morning when Emma's clock goes off and she knew she needed to get out of bed. She even though everybody knew she was a total B person, she would get up this early for Henry. She quickly got clothes on and walked to the guest room to the secret little room and took out the third present. She walked down, got on her boots and walked out she groaned as she saw the snow falling who had already spread a deep layer and flicked her wrist and she was in more warm suit. She flicked her wrist once more and she was in front of the mansion. As a bail bonds person, she knew how to get in and out of homes, or anything with a lock. She yes her lock pick and opened the door without much of a sound. She walked in in stealth and walked to the living room. She gently placed the present on the fireplace and turned around. She gently walked back out to the dining room and walked quietly out of the house.

Hours later, Henry woke and immediately felt the cool breeze and instantly knew. He quickly got out of bed and looked out of window, and saw the snow was indeed falling. He ran to his mothers room and saw her sleeping.

"Mom! It's snowing!", Henry happily bursted and Regina groaned as she heard her son bursting out and rolled over. Henry rolled his eyes and walked to the door closing it like he would if he ran out of it and he heard his mother let out a moan in relief. He smirked and walked quietly to the end of the bed and before Regina knew it, her covers were pulled away and she instantly turned to her smiling son.

"HENRY DANIEL MILLS! Give me my back quilt!", Regina groaned and got on her knees on the bed ready to fight her son on the bed.

"Come and get it", Henry challenged his mother and instantly regretted it, as he saw his mother storming towards him and wrapped him in the quilt, before laying him on the bed and walked out.

"Breakfast will ready in ten minutes", Regina yelled after her and walked down. Henry groaned and tried to get the covers off him, but his mother wrapped it too perfectly and he knew he was stuck.

Perfect

When Emma woke again, it was almost 12 and she instantly saw the snow still falling outside. She groaned and decided to get up. She saw how deep the layers of snow was getting decided to go outside to build a snowman.

She walked down and outside with all her full winter clothes, ready for everything. She started making a little snowball and rolled it in the snow, making it bigger. She used the next hour to make the snowman, and when was halfway through, she saw Henry and Regina walking inside her yard.

"Hey guys", she said smiling at her son his other mother. Henry instantly saw the snowman and ran to her to build the rest of it with her. Emma saw Regina and smiled at her.

"Hey"

"Hey. How are you doing?"

"Good. Better than yesterday. What happened by the way?"

Regina smiled at her and nodded towards their son.

"Perhaps that's a conversation for later", she whispered and smiled at Emma. Emma smiled back and nodded. Beside them, Henry watched the interaction and the smiles and looks. He shook his head of how oblivious his mothers were and continued to put snow on the snowman.

When the snowman was finished, Emma took a step back and stood beside Regina and their son.

"I'm glad how it turned out. What do you think kid?"

"I like it"

The snowman had one eye and a sloppy nose, where they used a banana, since Emma didn't have any carrots. And it also had a hook. Regina smiled and shook her head as she watched the blonde and her son smiling proudly of their work.

"Why don't you guys stay for dinner? I have an idea for dinner if you want?"

Regina turned to the blonde and smiled.

"That would be lovely, thank you"

Emma smiled and motioned for the brunette to go first towards the door. Regina smiled and walked to the door, Henry and Emma following suit. As they all walked inside, Emma immediately walked to the kitchen and started her hot chocolate machine.

"You can take a shower if you want or need to, you know where they are"

Regina smiled at her and looked at her with adoring eyes. Of course Emma had her back to the brunette's so she couldn't see it, but Henry did and he crossed his arms and smirked at his brunette mother. Said brunette mother felt his eyes on her and she turned to him and her face immediately reddened. Emma noticed the silence and turned just in time to see Regina in a vulnerable moment, before the brunette composed and answered the blondes statement.

"Thank you Emma, I don't really need a bath right now"

Emma eyed her but accepted the answer. She turned to her son who definitely need one.

"I don't care if you want to or not, you're taking a shower"

Henry shook his head playfully and smiled before walking upstairs leaving his mothers alone. Emma smiled at her son and turned to the brunette as he was gone from the room.

"Are you okay? You look like you just saw me naked"

That just made Regina's face redden even more and she cleared her throat.

"Well now that I got that picture in my head, I would say that's the reason now"

Emma laughed lightly and took a step closer.

"Sorry, I was just trying to ease the tension"

Regina was now laughing as well and sat at the island.

"Well you succeeded"

The two women laughed and Emma broke the silence once it came.

"So, can you tell me what happened the before yesterday evening?"

Regina's head turned to Emma who leaned against the island in front of her.

"Well, as you're worried about, you didn't do anything stupid. I was there after all"

Emma laughed, but deep inside she felt the familiar warmth inside her heart by hearing those words. She suddenly thought how their friendship and how close they've gotten. And then Ruby's comment came into mind. Was she really holding back? Was she avoiding what, apparently to Ruby, happened to be feeling for the brunette. She stared at the brunette as she considered the waitresses words. Regina is a beautiful woman, always have been. You would be stupid to deny that. A badass woman that's for sure. But at the same time, very vulnerable when it comes to Henry. Everybody could see that their son was everything to the brunette. And you could easily from their early days, that Regina didn't have anyone else than him. For the first time Emma noticed how beautiful the brunette really was. Not just on the outside, but deep inside as well. She was just a girl with hopes and dreams that got crushed by a single yes. Emma suddenly felt terrible and got tears in her eyes.

Regina who had sat and explained what happened that night, suddenly saw the tears in the blonde and instantly became worried.

"Emma?"

Emma was brought from the tale of thoughts as she heard her own name in the familiar vulnerable voice. She blinked her eyes a couple of times to see Regina now standing beside her, and incredibly close.

"Are you okay?"

Emma quickly wiped the tears away, that had seemed to fallen without her notice and composed.

"Yeah, yeah, totally. I just got something in my eyes"

Regina immediately saw through the lie and sighed.

"Emma please. Don't lie to me. I only want to help"

Emma looked at Regina in the eyes and before she knew it, she lost it and wrapped her arms around the brunettes waist and pulled her close. She laid her head on the brunette's shoulder as she let another tear fall. Regina was surprised to say at least. The last thing she expected from the blonde was a hug. They've never been so close before. She brought her arms around the blonde and squeezed lightly. Suddenly it was awfully quiet. Regina couldn't almost handle it. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to be patient with Emma. It was quiet for a long time. Just two of them standing in each other's embrace. Eventually Emma broke it.

"This is our first hug", she whispered and let a tear fall.

"I know", Regina whispered back and squeezed Emma closer if it was even possible.

"What's wrong?"

Emma gently shook her head and closed her eyes. Regina accepted the answer kept holding onto her. They stood for a couple of moments before they both heard a cling.

"The hot chocolate is finished. I'll go get Henry", Emma said and pulled back and smiled at Regina.

"Thank you", she said and walked upstairs to get her son. As she walked to the boys room, she opened the door and immediately regretted it.

"Henry, the hot cho—omg Henry!"

"Ma! What the hell?! Don't you know how to knock?!", Henry yelled as he quickly found a book to cover his appendage. Emma walked out again a blush creeping on her face.

"I'm sorry Henry"

Downstairs in the kitchen Regina sat at the island with her now hot chocolate in front of her, covering her mouth with her hand laughing hard.

As they all sat and ate the silence was awkward. Emma tried to ease the tension.

"I've tasted better", she said and continued eating. Regina looked at the blonde with confused eyes.

"It's pizza"

"Regina just because it's pizza, it doesn't mean, it had to taste good"

"Yes it does", Henry stated not looking up. He stood from the table and cleared his plate.

"I'm sorry Henry", Emma apologized. Henry stopped and looked at her.

"I know. I'm going to bed. Good night", he said and walked upstairs to to his room. Emma put her face in her hands and sighed deeply.

"He needs time Emma", Regina said putting her hand on the blondes arm for assurance.

"This is not when I lied to him or forced Violet to break his heart. He'll get over it", Emma said and stood from the table clearing the plates. Regina chuckled a little and stood from the table as well.

"I guess I should head home. It's getting quite late"

"You don't have to", Emma said a little too quickly and Regina eyed her.

"Why not?"

Emma's face reddened and she cleared her throat.

"I uhm. I was just thinking that maybe, perhaps you wanted a drink?"

Regina could clearly see the fear of rejection. She smiled and nodded.

"I would like that"

The two women were now on their third glass each and they were already hanging. They were laughing and talking about everything.

"So. What did your secret admire give you today?", Emma asked. Regina smiled and almost blushed at the thought.

"A necklace. With an apple on it"

Emma smiled and nodded.

"And the card?"

"Your apples are just as red as your beautiful lips. I would love to feel them against my own one day"

"Wow"

Regina nodded and smiled.

"Well it certainly fits you", Emma joked and elbowed the brunette playfully. Regina actually blushed this time and instantly regretted it.

"Are-are you blushing?", Emma asked and chuckled. Regina's raced reddened even mode and she looked down.

"It's sweet. I just hope that this person comes forward"

"Maybe he will the last day"

Regina nodded and smiled.

"What about Henry? What did he get?"

"He didn't get any today", Regina said kind of disappointed. Emma face frowned in confusion, but quickly composed.

"Maybe he just didn't found it"

Suddenly Emma came up with an idea.

"I need to show you something"

Regina nodded and they both walked upstairs and Emma turned to the guest room. She closed the door as Regina had stepped inside.

"Are you taking me to bed miss Swan?", Regina teased and sat on the bed. Emma looked at her and smirked

"You wish"

She walked to the vase and clicked the button. The wall moved to the side and the little advent calendar came into view. Regina eyes widened and she stood from the bed walking towards the room. She stepped inside and saw all the picture of all three of them. Some of only Henry, some of him and Emma, some of Henry and her, and some of all of them. Regina's eyes got watery and she turned to Emma who stood at the package number 4.

"This is beautiful Emma", Regina said almost breathless. Emma took the gift and turned to the brunette.

"This is the first Harry Potter book. Henry always wanted those"

"So it is you"

Emma nodded and smiled.

"I wanted to give him something special. This is our first Christmas without any villains around to kill us. I figured I wanted to give him something to remember it by"

Regina smiled a true smile and before she knew it, she kissed Emma on the cheek.

"It's wonderful Emma. He absolutely loves the gifts you're giving him"

Emma smiled and put down the gift back on the floor.

"You can sleep in here. It's late and you've been drinking", she said as they walked out and Emma closed the secret room.

"I can easily walk home Emma"

"You will sleep here. I'm not letting you walk home in that cold weather"

Regina smiled at how much Emma cared about her health. She sighed and sat on the bed.

"Alright. Good night Emma"

"Good night Regina"
