Well, hello guys! I decided to post a short chapter, nothing really happening, other than all of them starting to get to know each other :)

Someone said that they'd like to see Regina not liking her siblings, but I would like for Regina to get a close relationship with them, eventually - and of course there will be ups' and downs'.

Thank you for your reviews, follows and favs! Makes my day! 3

I have totallt forgotten to write this before, but: I don't own OUAT.

Hope you like it!

XO

Again, Regina felt like the past hours were a haze, again, what had happened was a blur. She was currently sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket, Henry sitting next to her. Grace came walking over and sat two mugs of hot cocoa in front of them on the table. "Hey." She said casually.

Regina looked up at her, "Hello." She said in her usual way. She scanned Grace again, her face, much similar to her own. She couldn't be much younger than her.

Noticing that Regina was looking at her, she started to talk; "Ok, I'll start. Well, let's see, I'm two years younger than you. Hope is my twin sister, as you may have noticed." She said and chuckled.

Regina didn't respond, only pushing herself to sit upright in the couch.

Grace took it as a sign to keep talking, "Don't let the obvious similarities fool you, we're very different."

"That's an understatement." Benjamin shot in and sat down next to Grace.

"Excuse me, I'm talking?" Grace said, pretending to be mad.

Regina watched the scene before her, adults, not much younger than herself, acting like teenagers, strange.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow in response.

"Anyway, yes, we're very different. She can be quite cold sometimes, but she means nothing by it. I talk a lot, she doesn't –"

"That's an understatement too, you don't just talk a lot, you babble." Benjamin said and laughed, so did Henry, even Regina chuckled.

"Shut up..!" Grace said and elbowed her brother.

Regina reached out to take a sip of the cocoa, "Excuse me for asking, but shouldn't you all be married, taking you grew up in the Enchanted Forest?"

"No, that's a logic question; you forced to be married at 18?" Grace said with a soft voice.

Regina nodded.

"Well, as you may have noticed, our parents love each other very much, they share true love. They want that for us as well, so they never wanted to push us into a relationship, or a marriage we did not want to be in." Grace paused, "I guess none of us have met the right person yet." She paused again, before she lifted her gaze, and looked over at her twin sister, "And there's another difference between us," everyone understood who she was talking about, "I have an eye for men, she has an eye for women."

Before anyone had the time to respond, someone else said something, "I would have preferred sharing that myself." Hope said, looking serious.

Grace smiled softly at her, "I'm sorry, I should've kept my mouth shut."

Hope smiled back at her, "It's quite alright, it's not like it's a secret, dear sister." She replied and sat down next to Henry; sitting upright, one leg crossed the other. She majestically leaned one of her elbows on the arm of the couch.

Henry, with wide eyes, sitting in the middle of Regina and Hope, turned to look at Hope first, then at Regina. His mouth fell open; the similarity between the two was striking, not only looks, but personality-wise.

Both Grace and Benjamin burst into laughter, "You… should… see… you face!" Grace managed to say between breaths.

Regina and Hope merely leaned forward in the couch, exchanged a look, and gracefully leaning back.

The action only made the three others laugh harder, now joined by Hope and Regina.

After they had dinner and finished cleaning up, they sat back into the living room. Regina glanced at the clock, "Henry, I think it's time for bed." She said in a more serious tone, but with a smile.

Henry looked disappointed, but started to walk up the stairs.

"He's a cute boy." Grace said.

Regina smiled softly, "He's my everything." She said and got from up the couch and followed Henry upstairs. He was already in bed, ready to be tucked in. Regina sat down of the side of the bed and stroked his hair.

"Admit it mom, you had fun tonight." Henry said and smiled widely.

With a raised eyebrow, Regina answered, "I had no such thing." She said, showing no emotion.

Henry looked down, caught off guard by Regina's sudden seriousness.

Regina laughed, "Honey, I did actually have fun tonight." She said.

"I knew it!" Henry beamed.

With another small laugh, Regina tucked her son in, stroked his hair, and kissed his forehead.

"I love you." Henry said before she went out of his room.

"I love you too, sweetheart." She replied. She felt so happy in that moment; she was really a mother to him. Ever since Emma had become a part of her sons' life, she constantly feared that he would choose Emma instead of her; many times, he had done just that. It had hurt, like a sting in her heart. But she started to accept that Emma was always going to be a part of Henry's life, that he would spend much time with her, yes, she started to be somewhat alright with that. Because she knew her son loved her, and that he needed her to be his mother.

"Regina?"

It took her a minute to react to whoever called her.

"Yes?" she replied to Rhea.

"I think it's time for us to leave, we'll stay at Granny's." she said and turned around to walk down the stairs.

Regina stopped her, "If you want, you could stay here, my house is big enough." She said.

"Are you sure?" Rhea asked.

Regina only nodded and started to walk downstairs, to show them their rooms. When she got to the living room, she saw that the whole family was gathered. She remained standing, but started talking, "I'm sure you're all tired, so I've suggested that you stay here. I have three guestrooms, two of them are down the hall over there," she said and pointed to the right, "and the third is upstairs, next to the master bedroom."

The others didn't respond right away, but then Benjamin rose, "Thanks Regina, I think I'm going to bed right away!"

"Yeah, me too." Grace said. Another nod from Hope, telling everyone she too was off to bed.

Rosie had fallen asleep on the couch, so Grace picked her up, "She can sleep in our bed tonight, right sister?" she half-whispered.

"Alright, but if she starts kicking in her sleep, it's out." Hope replied rather coldly.

Grace rolled her eyes at her sister, and stared to walk to one of the guestrooms.

All of a sudden, Regina was standing alone with Rhea and Samuel. He put his arm around his wife and said, "Well, I suppose it's time for us to go to bed too."

"Yes, me too." Regina replied and turned around to walk up the stairs, and as she was halfway up, she heard giggling from behind her and turned around. What she saw made her feel quite awkward; Rhea and Samuel were kissing, but when they saw Regina watching them, they broke apart. Regina realized she was staring, and quickly said, "I'm sorry," and started to walk up the stairs again.

"No, we're sorry." Samuel said.

Regina turned around to face them yet again, "I…" she started, "I'm just not used to that," she gestured pointing at them, "I don't think I've ever seen my parents even hug." She finished and looked down.

"I'm sure they loved each other, in their own way." Samuel said and smiled softly.

Regina nodded in response, walked up to her room and finally got to bed; she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

PS: Regina's lovelife will come, but not yet, so you can still suggest some, Robin Hood, Daniel, or..?

One last thing, I wrote that Regina was 18 when she married King Leopold, is that right, or was she younger? :)
