Just a little Family fluff.

While waiting for the pizza to arrive Regina decided to take a shower.

She let the hot water run until the steam begins to fog up the mirror. Regina stepped in a winced at the initial heat, but soon embraced it.

Regina finally let her emotions take a hold of her and she cried, she cried for not trusting Henry, she cried for thinking about sending Emma back to those awful people, she cried for Emma, and she cried for herself. Regina let the water wash away her tears and held her head under the steady stream of hot water.

Regina finally composed herself, showered and washed her hair. She dressed in comfy old pajama pants and her old worn out grey,blue, and white Duke long sleeve shirt.

When she came down the stairs she could see Emma and Henry playing with legos on the floor.

Just as she sat down on the couch the door bell rung, Emma and Henry looked up and smiled widely, they both yelled, "PIZZA" and sprinted to the door.

Regina turned around and watched as Henry's long legs ran to the door while Emma's shorter ones chased after him. They both skidded to a stop and flung open the door.

Henry grabbed a $20.00 from the drawer and paid the delivery guy.

Henry carried the two pizza boxes to the kitchen with Emma giggling behind him.

Henry yelled, "Come on Mom! We're hungry!"

Regina rolled her eyes and got up and headed to the kitchen.

When she entered she saw Henry grabbing plates and Emma reaching in the fridge to grab 3 juice boxes.

Regina watched as Emma placed the three juices into her makeshift t-shirt basket and walk over to the kitchen breakfast bar.

She walked to Henry and he grabbed the juices and placed one in front of each of the stools.

He looked down to Emma asked, "How many slices?"

Emma thought for a second and said "one for now"

Henry nodded and placed one slice on a plate and placed it in front of the middle stool.

Henry grabbed his own plate and grabbed three slices.

Regina shook her head and went to her of pizza box, veggie with ham.

She saw Emma struggling to get seated on the bar stool, she was just about to go help her when Henry got off his own stool and lifted Emma onto the seat. Emma smiled, "Thanks". Henry nodded sat back down and went back to his pizza.

Regina watched their dynamic and couldn't help the smile on her face. They had only known each other for about a week and they already seemed like perfect brother and sister.

Regina was called out of her thoughts when Henry called her, "Mom. Mom. You ok? You're staring again."

Regina nodded grabbed her slice and sat down next to Emma, "Yeah, I'm good. I'm perfect right now".

The three of them sat in comfortable silence and ate their pizza.

Between Emma and Henry they ate the entire pie. Regina looked on amazed and said, "Between the two of you I am going to have to go shopping more often"

Henry smirked and Emma giggled.

Henry and Emma relocated to the living room to continue playing legos while Regina cleaned up the kitchen and put her leftover pizza in the fridge.

When she came back to the living room Henry looked at Regina and asked, "Can we watch a movie tonight?"

Regina nodded and said, "Sure why not."

Emma beamed and got up, Henry showed her where all the movies were and told her to pick one and bring it back"

Henry let Emma pick the movie, she picked, "Frozen".

Regina surprisingly loved that movie, and enjoyed watching it again and again.

Regina sat on the arm of the couch, while Henry and Emma laid out on the floor.

Half way through the movie Emma got up and stood in front of Regina.

Regina was now laying on her back watching the movie, she looked at Emma and asked, "You want to lay down with me?"

Emma nodded her head. Regina lifted Emma and laid her down on her chest. Emma laid her head down the Regina chest and said, "I can hear you heart beat"

Regina smiled and said, "Yes you can".

Twenty minutes later Regina could feel Emma's breathing even out, and knew she was asleep, not wanting to disturb her just yet she let her sleep.

By the end of the movie Henry's eyes were slipping closed and was falling asleep on the floor.

Regina called him, "Hey Henry, go upstairs and get into bed. You and Emma can clean up the mess tomorrow"

Henry nodded and stood up stretching, he grabbed the remote and turned the dvd player and tv off.

He said a quick, "Night mom, love you. Tell Emma I said good night", as he walked up the stairs to his room.

Regina looked at the clock on the wall and as shocked at the time, it was only 8:15PM and they were all ready for bed.

Regina looked down at the sleeping child on her chest and stroked her hair, Emma nuzzled deeper into Regina's chest and sighed.

Regina smiled and slowly stood up careful to not wake Emma.

Regina turned off the lights and made her way upstairs to the guest room.

She pulled back the covers and laid Emma down on the soft sheets. Emma curled up into a little ball and rolled over. Regina tucks Emma in and kisses her forehead.

Regina leaves the door cracked and walks to her room.

Exhausted she checks her alarm for tomorrow morning and gets into bed. Regina is asleep by the time her head hits the pillow. If only it would stay this calm.

I am starting college again tomorrow so updates might not be as frequent but I will try and make them at least once a week. Thanks for reading!
