Henry was still at Regina's, now sitting comfortably in the couch, "Mom, is it ok if I stay here tonight? I want to sleep in my room." He said and smiled.

Regina walked over and sat down on the couch next to him, and gently cupped his cheek with her hand, "Henry, this is your home, you don't have to ask sweetheart." She said with a smile.

"I know, but since you were all mad about Rhea, I figured I'd ask first." Henry said while looking down.

With a small chuckle, Regina said, "Don't worry about it; now you're here, I could never be angry." With that, Henry hugged her tight; he rested his head on her shoulder. All Regina wanted was to hold him, and so she did for a couple of minutes, stroking his hair. Finally, they pulled apart, and Henry hopped up from the couch, "I'm going to check on the bird house, I'll be right back." Regina merely nodded, happy that he was around the house again, with her.

Regina rose from the couch, and glanced at the clock, 1pm; maybe Henry was getting hungry, so she decided to prepare lunch. She was almost done with making sandwiches, and Henry came walking in, "I brought the mail." He said and gave it to Regina, who looked up at him, "Nothing for me, I've already checked."

Regina gave a nod and quickly browsed through the mail, she stopped when she saw the cream-colored envelope, noted only Regina. Curios to what it was, she opened it; it was a handwritten letter, she jumped to the end, where it said; Love, your mom, Rhea. Regina immediately threw the letter on the kitchen counter. Henry, who witnessed it all, raised an eyebrow to his mother. Regina registered it, "It's a letter from Rhea." She said with a sigh.

Henry's eyes widened, "Well, what does it say? Read it!"

Regina groaned, and started reading, but quickly noticed Henry still standing there, watching her curiously. She looked up at him with a serious look.

"I'll just go to my room for a few minutes." he said and turned his heel, and started to walk up the stairs. Regina turned her attention back to the letter.

My dearest Regina,

I know that I may have pushed too hard, but I was so overwhelmed with my feelings for seeing you again after all these years, seeing what a wonderful woman you have become, my long lost daughter. Many may say that I have to be crazy to say that, but you are truly wonderful. You have done things that you cannot take back, lives have been taken by your hand. But all that belongs to the past, and as I often say; a broken heart can make you do unspeakable things.

I know today, that you have grown, you have become a mother too, so you could understand why I fight so hard to become a part of your life. Enjoy the present, is what many say, well, Regina, treasure every moment with Henry, because before you know it, he will be all grown up. You should not try to forget your past, your time as the queen. Let it be a part of you, a reminder of what you do not want to become again. Don't give in to the darkness, as much as it may seem tempting at the time, there is always another way. In those weak moments, think of your son, know that you are loved, also by your father Henry and Cora. Know that you are loved by me, your father Samuel, and your brother and sisters. Love is strength.

I am very proud of you for fighting the urge to give in to the darkness, for Henry's sake. I am proud of you for setting the lives of everyone in Storybrook before your own. I am proud of you for trying so hard to redeem yourself. I am proud of the woman you have become.

It may seem that I know much about you, and I do, but all I have learned, is of watching you through the barrier. I cannot count the times I wish I could take your pain away, to take your place, to rescue you. You have suffered too much, felt too much heartache. I tried to come for you countless times, tried to break the barrier that kept me from you. I failed, I have failed my child, I have failed you. But, know, that I, we, never stopped trying.

I can never say it enough, I love you, my daughter, with all my heart, I always have, and always will. Never forget that.

Love,

your mom, Rhea.

p.s. I will stay in Storybrook for a while, if you ever would want to talk to me.

Regina felt the piece of paper shaking in her hands, tears running down her cheeks. She didn't quite understand why she reacted that way. She didn't want to react this way. When she heard footsteps coming from above, she quickly wiped the tears away, and straightened up in the chair she had been sitting in. Within few moments, Henry was with her in the kitchen.

It was starting to get quite late at Snow and David's place, Rhea was still there, sitting in the couch. Snow put a cup of cocoa with cinnamon on the table, "Here, you'll like this." She said with a smile and sat down with her own cup, next to Emma.

"Oh, thank you honey. It smells wonderful." Rhea replied.

Moments of silence passed, but Emma broke it, "It's kind of crazy, how much Regina looks like you."

Rhea chuckled, "Yes, her resemblance to me is quite remarkable. My other daughters don't look that much like me."

"You mentioned earlier that your family is coming here?" Snow casually asked.

Rhea nodded, "Yes, this will glow when they arrive." She said and took a hold of the necklace she had around her neck. It was shaped as a circle, you could see the tree form on it.

Snow raised an eyebrow, she had seen that before, then it hit her; "Regina has one just like it."

"Yes, she does, all of my children have one, my husband too." Rhea answered.

Silence again, but this time it broke from Emma's cellphone. She took out of her pocket; she'd gotten a message from Regina; Henry's staying home tonight. – Regina. Emma quickly replied an "ok", and put the phone back in her pocket. She then glanced over at Rhea, who was sipping her cocoa.

Suddenly Rhea put her mug down and clutched her necklace, it was glowing strongly, "They're here." She said and got up and headed towards the door.

Emma and Snow quickly went after her, "Is it ok if we come with?" Emma asked.

Rhea nodded and put on her jacket, but before she could open the door, David walked in, he froze, staring at Rhea, "What...?" he mumbled. Rhea just walked passed him, followed by Emma and Snow, and a confused David. He gave his wife a questioning look, "I'll explain on the way." Snow said.

Emma looked around; they were at the well where she and Mary Margaret came back from the Enchanted Forest. Not even a minute passed and a strong golden light appeared from the well, then, five people were standing in front of them.

"Samuel!" Rhea exclaimed and threw her arms around her husband. He lifted her off her feet and gave her a spin.

"Rhea." She said with a dark, low voice, and kissed her. No moment sooner, a small girl ran towards Rhea, "Mommy!" she almost yelled and jumped into her mothers arms.

"Hello Rosie." Rhea said and kissed her daughters forehead. She put the seven-year old on the ground. She then turned around to face the three others, "Hi kids." She said with a smile. All three of them, grown kids, hugged their mother.

So, what did you think?
