Regina woke by a knock on her door. She groaned and got out of bed. She put on her rope and walked down to open the door. When she opened it, a bucket with roses stood in front of her with a white card.

You're coming early today

Regina smirked at the thought and took the bucket inside. Out in the bushes, stood Emma smiling as she saw the smirk on Regina's lips. Emma walked out of the bush and away from the house only to be spotted by Ruby.

"Emma? What were you doing in Regina's bushes? Spying again?"

Emma turned in confusion.

"What? No I'm not spying, I was just—", Emma stopped before she revealed too much. Ruby smirked and eyed the blonde.

"You're Regina's secret admire aren't you?"

Emma's face paled and immediately knew she was caught.

"Fine! Yes I'm her secret admire, but you can't tell anyone! I swear to god Ruby, if you tell anyone!"

"Don't worry Emma. I won't tell her or anyone else. But... I TOLD YOU SO!"

Emma groaned and walked down the street, Ruby obviously following.

"Yes you were right. But nothing is going on between us. To her, I'm just a friend. A close friend"

"That you sacrificed your life for. If Regina can't see your love for her by that, she's a blind bitch"

"Watch it", Emma snapped at the brunette as she stopped and turned her body towards her. Ruby groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Okay fine. A very hot blind bitch"

Emma rolled her eyes and shook her head as she started walking again.

"But anyway. How are you going to tell her?"

"With this advent calendar"

Regina walked inside her kitchen and put the roses in a vase. She took the card and read it.

The rose is red, Violet's blue. Sugar is sweet, and so are you

Regina chuckled at the poem and took the vase with the card upstairs to her bedroom and walked to her advent calendar wall where all her gifts were settled.

A couple of hours later Henry woke up and saw a little box standing in his bed table. He smiled widely and took the box. He opened it and saw a silver clips for his tie. He smiled and put it back down and got out of bed.

Regina heard footsteps on the stairs and looked around to see Henry now standing in the doorway.

"Morning mom"

"Good morning Henry", Regina said and kissed his forehead. Henry smiled and saw the roses on the island.

"A whole bucket now? He must really like you"

Regina blushed and smiled.

"Yes he must. I must admit I'm touched. Whoever this person is, they certainly deserves a reward"

"A reward huh?"

Regina blushed and turned around.

"Eat your breakfast", she mumbled.

"Mom, dad I need you- omg!"

Emma turned around and practically ran out of the Charming's apartment as she saw her parents in bed. David chuckled and got out bed while Snow laid with her head in her hands.

"Stop laughing David, this is not funny"

"Are you guys done?", Emma yelled from the other side of the door.

"Wait a minute", Snow yelled as she and David took on their clothes.

"Alright come in", David yelled and Emma walked in a blush creeping on her face.

"Next time. Lock the door"

"I'm sorry Emma. We will lock the door next time"

"Thanks. Now I need your help"

"What for?"

Emma sighed and sat down at the table.

"I need you guys to take Henry tomorrow night"

"May I ask why?"

"I want to spend some time with Regina alone"

David smirked while Snow looked confused at her daughter.

"Don't ask okay? I just need you guys to trust me"

Snow and David shared a look and turned to their daughter.

"Alright. We'll pick him up at 5pm"

"Thank you mom"

Emma walked inside Granny's and saw Ruby and Mulan standing at the counter obviously flirting.

Emma smirked and walked to the couple.

"Well well. Isn't it the wolf and the warrior?"

"Ems. Uh hi. What can I do for you?", Ruby said blushing.

"Well I want to speak to you. I need your help"

Ruby nodded and turned to Mulan.

"I'll see you later"

Mulan smiled and kissed the brunette before saying an shyly hi to Emma and walking Emma.

"You guys are so love birds"

"She's the best. So. How can I help you and your love bird"

Emma blushed and smiled as she sat at the counter.

"I need your help with Regina's gift tomorrow. I need you to come by the mansion by 8pm exactly"

Ruby smiled and hugged the blonde.

"Count me in Ems"

Regina walked inside the living room seeing Henry playing his new video game. Regina smiled and sat beside her son caressing his neck while he played.

"What is it about?"

"Have you seen Star Wars?", Henry asked back. Regina looked at her son and shook her head.

"Okay. It's basically the good side versus the evil. You can play in each side and the only thing you have to do is kill as many people on the other side as you can, before the time runs out. The goal for the two teams is to kill 100 people within 10 minutes and the first teams that reaches their goal wins. If none of the teams reaches the goal before the time runs out, the team with the highest kills win"

Regina stared at her son.

"What?"

"It doesn't sound so bad"

"It's not", Henry said as he laughed. Regina smiled kept caressing her sons neck. She suddenly heard her phone receiving a text. She walked out of the living room and walked to the kitchen seeing her phone laying on her kitchen island. She saw the unfamiliar number and eyed the phone.

Should I open?

Regina sighed and opened the text before she could register. Regina swallowed a lump as she read the text.

Hello Madame Mayor

Who is this?

The text came immediately.

I think you know that, Madame Mayor

Regina was already starting to get irritated.

Of course I do. But who are you?

Why should I tell you?

Regina sighed and let of a breath.

So I can thank you. Personally

But it's only the beginning Madame Mayor. I'm not finished

What do you mean?

After that Regina didn't receive any texts from the admire. She let out a groan in frustration.

"Dammit!"

"Mom? Is everything okay?"

Regina turned to her son who walked inside the kitchen.

"I'm fine Henry. It's just this secret admire. He has written to me"

"Seriously? What does it say?"

Regina suddenly blushed and hesitated. She loved her son, but she wanted this to be between her and her secret admire. Henry noticed the hesitation and smiled in understanding.

"It's okay mom. If you want it to be private, just say so. I won't become angry because of that. This is about you. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just curious. Anyway, I'm going upstairs to do homework"

Henry kissed his mothers cheek and walked upstairs. Regina followed Henry with her eyes and suddenly heard a text message tone. She looked down at her phone and furrowed her eyebrows.

Go open your front door

Regina sighed and walked to her front door opening it. Nobody was there, but she immediately saw the huge package on the porch. She sighed deep and took it inside. She walked to the kitchen and sat the package on the island beside the bucket of roses. She saw the card and took it.

A "little" extra gift for today. Hope you like it

Regina sighed and opened the package. She gasped as she saw what was inside and immediately sat down, in hope not to pass out any minute.

"Holy... Shit...", Regina cursed and took a deep breath. She sighed and looked down in the box again. There was one of the most expensive coat on the market.

Secret admire you little piece of work
