"This are my children, Rose, Hope, Grace and Benjamin. And my husband Samuel." Rhea introduced her family to Emma and her parents, who all nodded and smiled.

"Mommy, it's Rosie." The little girl said.

Snow looked down at her, "Nice to meet you Rosie." She said and smiled. Rosie didn't respond, only hid behind her mother.

Rhea turned around to face her family again, and waved her hand. A golden – white smoke appeared, and within seconds, the whole family was dressed with clothes from this world.

Samuel approached his wife again, "Regina?" he asked.

Rhea sighed, "She's… I don't think that we should go to her; rather wait for her to see us."

With a look of disappointment, Samuel nodded. All he wanted was to see his daughter.

"Well, why don't we all go to Granny's and pick up something to eat?" Snow asked, as to break the silence.

Rhea smiled softly and took Rosie's hand, "That sounds lovely, dear."

Emma surprisingly turned around; she could have sworn that was Regina's voice, but it was Rhea's.

They were all strolling down the streets of Storybrook, Rosie now walking next to Snow, eager to learn about this new place. The older children were walking next to Rhea, "Mom," Hope started, "do you think it's a good idea for us all to come here, to meet Regina?" she asked.

"Well, honey, that's why we wait for her to come to us." Rhea stated, no doubt in her voice, Regina would come around eventually.

A few moments of silence went by, and Emma joined Rhea, she started digging in her pocket; looking for her phone. "I think I'm going to call Henry, he'll be thrilled to meet you." She said and dialed a number.

Samuel looked over at Rhea, "Henry?" he asked.

"Yes, our grandson." Rhea said happily.

"I know I have a grandson, only, I didn't think we would meet him this soon." He stated. Rhea merely chuckled at her husband's sudden nerves.

Minutes later, they were all sitting at Granny's, spread across two booths. Rosie was growing quite found of the Charmings, and insisted on sitting next to Snow, who only laughed at it. Benjamin was also sitting on that same table, and surprisingly enough, the conversations seemed easy, him and David talking about the Enchanted Forest, and of their twisted families.

The doorbell rang, and everyone looked up; it was Henry. Emma walked over to him and whispered something to him. Rhea rose as well, but kept standing in her spot, waiting for Henry to come over, which he did. He seemed quite shy at first, but then looked up at her and smiled. Rhea couldn't contain herself, she almost threw her arms around him, and hugged him tight, "My dear, dear, grandson." She said while hugging him. They pulled apart, and it didn't seem as if Henry minded being hugged so soon, so Rhea said nothing of it.

Henry's gaze shifted towards Samuel, who now rose from his seat. He reached his and out, and Henry took it, "Nice to meet you, Henry." Samuel said, being a little more subtle than his wife about the situation. Henry first looked over to Emma, who gave him a reassuring nod, and answered, "Nice to meet you too." Samuel let go of his hand, and gestured for him to sit down in their booth. Henry sat down at the opposite side of Samuel, no words were exchanged at first, but they slowly started talking, first about what to order, then about school, and sports, then about his mother, Regina. "She read the letter." Henry said and looked at Rhea, who didn't answer, just gave him a smile. "She just needs time, that's all, I told her she should trust you." Henry continued.

"That's entirely true Henry, and thank you for saying that to her." Rhea answered.

Across town, Regina was pacing back and forth in her study; an hour ago, Henry had gone to meet Rhea and the rest of her family at Granny's. After reading the letter, Regina reconsidered the whole story again, that it was actually true, Core wasn't her birth mother, but she had raised her. Regina couldn't help but be a little curious about her birth family, or whatever she should call them. And her birth father, what was he like, how did he look? She then got the idea to take the car, and casually drive through Storybrook, on the road that happens cross Granny's, just for a peek.

Regina grabbed her coat, and put it on while walking to the car. She pulled out of the driveway and drove down the street. When she reached the street where Granny's was, she slowed down. She spotted Rhea standing outside, hugging someone. The pair pulled apart, and she saw it was Emma, The Savior, saving the day. Regina felt it, the anger coming back.

As if Rhea felt her daughters' presence, she turned around, and looked straight into Regina's car. As fast as he could, she put the car in third gear, and sped off.

Of course! That family always had to ruin everything! Regina shook her head, I don't care! She had no other parents than Cora and Henry, that was it, the parents who raised her. She drove towards her office, it would be stupid to turn around and drive past Granny's again. She pulled over, didn't even care to park her car. Suddenly her phone rang; she pulled it out of her purse, displayed Henry. "Hello dear." She answered.

"Mom, I saw you drive past Granny's. Don't be such a coward, and come back. They're really nice!" Henry seemed very excited.

"Henry, I'm not a coward. I just don't want to meet them at Granny's." she answered him.

"Well, then we're coming to you, at the office." He said, and before Regina could respond, he hung up.

Inside her office, Regina started pacing back and forth again, she admitted to herself, she was quite nervous. She herself thought that mere minutes had passed, but as she glanced at the clock, she realized she had been in her office for a half hour. There was a knock on the door, and it opened. Regina lifted her gaze towards the door; Rhea was standing there, with a tall older man, and four other people behind her. Henry came from behind them, and approached Regina and took her hand. His action made Regina's heart swell.

She looked at the people now standing before her; the older man, who she guessed was her birth father, had brown hair, with strands of grey, he was tall, a head taller than Rhea. Regina met his blue eyes, but quickly moved her gaze, which stopped at the little girl holding Rhea's hand. The girl smiled brightly, ran towards Regina and crashed into her waist, hugging her tight.

"Rosie!" Rhea called.

Regina stood frozen, not knowing what to do, she looked down at the little girl and smiled. She had brown eyes, long dark hair; looking much like Regina herself at that age. The little girl finally let go of Regina and walked over to Rhea, head down.

"I am sorry, she was very eager to finally meet you." Rhea said.

"We all are." Grace, one of the twin girls stated.

Regina looked up at her, she could clearly see that she was her sister, so very similar to herself, only the eyes had an different color; blue, like their father. Regina looked up at Samuel again, who now started to approach her. All she wanted to do was flee; she didn't want to do this anymore. Henry took her hand again, and she found herself exhaling, maybe it was relief? Maybe she could keep it together for now, just a little longer.

Samuel was now standing before her; he scanned her from top to toe. He carefully lifted his hand and gently placed it on Regina's cheek, tears streaming down his face. "My beautiful daughter."

Regina was to her own surprise holding her breath, she didn't exactly know why, maybe it was to hold back whatever threatened to push through. An expression, a tear, a smile, she did not know. When he took a step back, she finally let her breath out.

Regina was now sitting in her kitchen, everything around her was a blur, what had happened shortly before was a blur. She barely remembered getting back to her mansion, the past hour were mere memories; Rhea taking an arm around her and leading her to the car, which Rhea somehow managed to drive, Samuel leading her out of the car and into the very chair she was sitting in at this very moment. One thing she remembered very clearly was Henry never letting go of her hand; she smiled at the thought. Regina looked down at her hands; he was not holding it anymore.

Snapping out of her state of confusion and shock, she looked up at what was happening around her. Henry was standing next to Rhea, carving some vegetables; Hope and Grace were doing the dishes. Benjamin had stepped outside to get some more wood from the garage. She then moved her gaze, and looked to her left. She saw Rosie standing there, watching Regina. At pure reflex, Regina smiled at her again. "I've missed you, and I love you." Rosie mumbled while looking up at her. Regina's mouth fell half-open at what the little girl just said. Luckily, before Regina had to come up with an answer, Samuel walked over, and scooped Rosie into his arms. He walked a few steps towards the kitchen counter and gently sat her back to the ground, "Mommy needs your help princess." He said and kissed her forehead.

"So, how are you doing mom?" Henry asked.

Regina slowly turned her head towards him and smiled, "I'm fine Henry, just a lot to take in."

Henry laughed, "Yeah, I know. But I'll stay here now too." He said leaned in to rest his head on her shoulder.

Regina briefly stroked his head and smiled widely, "My little prince."

One more thing; I want Regina to have a love interest in this story, but who should it be? Daniel, Robin Hood, Hook, ooor..? Let me know! :)
