Regina had arrived at Samdi's apartment. She needed to speak to him as soon as possible. Regina didn't want to believe what Zelena had told her about Samdi's secret family. She didn't understand why Samdi would keep such a secret away from her especially when he was so open about his past with rumple. Regina wanted answers and she wanted them now. Standing outside of his front door Regina could hear loud voices inside. " What the hell is going on in there?" Regina whispered to herself. Regina had been waiting for over two minutes until the door swiftly open revealing a stressed out Samdi. As quickly as he opened the door the quicker he shut it behind him. Standing in the hallway with Regina, Samdi wanted to some privacy before all hell broke loose. " Regina what are you doing here?" "when was you going to tell me about your other family Baron!" Regina said with anger in her voice but betrayal in her eyes. "Regina I was going to but my cursed life is complicated I didn't want to drag you into such mess yet." Baron was trying to convince his Queen that keeping his secret from her was for good reason but looking at her Samdi could tell he had hurt her deeply. "Baron you have a son and wife how is that not important to you?

" Ex wife and I never loved her I only love you Regina and as for my son of course his important to me but I haven't seen him in months and to be honest I thought I would never get to see him again." Regina was confused with did he mean he would never see his son again. "Regina please I love you I've always have please let me make it up to you." However before she could say a word the front door opened and Regina was now face to face with Baron's Ex.

"Tiffany I told you to wait in side!" Samdi said as she looked at this ex Wife. Tiffany however was more interested in the woman stand next to Baron. Looking her up and down with disgust Tiffany had never met the woman but she didn't like the sight of her. In her eyes only she was good enough for Baron, nobody else but her. Regina on the other hand could feel the hatred coming of Baron's Ex. She could see the hate in her eyes as she stared at her but Regina wasn't going to let this woman intimidate her. " Oh... so this is the woman that has changed your heart is it Baron? Baron Honey you could do better then that." Grinning at Regina Tiffany watched Regina expression change with fury and Tiffany loved it. " Who the hell do you think you are talking to!" Regina said standing right in front of Tiffany. Regina's blood was boiling, how dare this woman insult her in front of her face like that, if she had her magic back god only knew what Regina would do to her. " Well I was Talking to Baron for starters Your Majesty or should I say Roni the Bartender."

Regina was minutes a way from punching this woman in the face. She had been here for less then fifteen minutes and already the woman was attacking her. Baron could see the tension building rapidly but he also knew if he didn't stop them from arguing somebody was going to get hurt. " Tiffany that's enough, you have no right to talk to Regina that way she done nothing wrong to you." Baron said as he gently pushed Regina away from Tiffany. " Tiffany I want you out now do you understand." Baron said sternly. Tiffany grin disappeared as she looked back at her beloved. Hearing his stern protective voice for the bartender made her feel jealous, she saw how close he stood towards her and it annoyed her to no end. However before Tiffany had a chance to make a remark a Small high pitch voice interrupted them.

" Daddy I don't want to go I want to stay with you." All the adults turned to look towards the young boy who was standing in the door way of Baron's apartment. Kaleb had heard the shouting from the hallway and being a curious little he wanted to see what was happening but hearing his father telling his Mum to leave brought fear to the little boy. He didn't want to leave his father again. Life with just his mother was boring and he missed his the fun he had with his daddy. Putting on the best pout he could muster Kaleb pleaded to stay with his daddy. " Daddy please...I don't want go!" Tiffany was livid Her own son wanted his father more then her and it made heart break. " Kaleb baby you can't stay with daddy today okay, his business with little girlfriend." Tiffany said as she pulled her son to her side. " Tiffany I said enough!"

Tiffany looked back at the two love birds with disgust. " If you think I'm leaving my son with you and her then you have another thing coming." Rolling his eyes Baron was becoming tried of Tiffany making things difficult. Seeing his son sad face made Baron 's heart break. It had been months since him and Kaleb had time together plus he wanted his son to meet Regina so badly. After all Regina was great with children. " Let Kaleb stay for couple of days Tiffany I haven't seem him in months it would be nice for him spend time with me." Baron said trying to reason with Tiffany. " Absolutely not Baron! First you kick me out of the your apartment and no you want to take my son. Nah uh I don't think so." Taking her son hands Tiffany made her way to the main door to leave. There was no way she was leaving her son here but Kaleb had other ideas. Kaleb manged to escape his mother's grip and once free he ran to his father's side. " Mummy please I want to stay with daddy I promise I'll be good." Kaleb rapped his small arms around his father's leg and Tiffany knew he wasn't going anywhere. She hated seeing her son like this but she just couldn't let Baron win this battle without a price. " Fine I Kaleb can stay for tonight but I will pick him up first thing in the early afternoon as I have to visit the office in the morning." Baron gave Tiffany a small smile. " Thank you Tiffany." " But I don't want the bartender here with him and that is my terms." Tiffany's grin had returned she knew she was being unreasonable but she just didn't care. The last thing she wanted was her son liking Baron's new girlfriend.

Baron looked towards Regina who looked very pissed. She hadn't been able to say a word since the little boy came into the hallway as she feared she would swear. Regina could see Baron was looking at her, she knew Baron wanted to spend time with his son and the only way he got that chance was for her to give them space. " Fine I'll leave." Regina said mentally calming herself down. Baron was shocked that Regina would agree but most of all he didn't want Regina to agree. Regina and him had a lot to discuss but he need Tiffany gone to do so. " Tiffany your being Unreasonable!" Baron said with frustration but Regina reassured him with her decision. " Baron it's okay will talk another time I can see your busy."

Baron could see Regina was still frustrated but not wanting things to end on a bad note. Agreeing with her decision Baron gave Regina a soft gentle kiss before he let her leave. The kiss however lasted longer then intended and this made Tiffany's blood boil. Breaking the kiss Regina smiled at Baron and whispered a goodbye. Walking pasted Baron's Ex Regina gave her the infamous Evil queen deadly stared, Regina was far from finished with this woman. One day she would make her pay for her insults. Once Regina had left Baron ushered his son back inside his apartment after he made he made him say goodbye to his mother. Tiffany had left with a nasty smile on her face but Baron didn't let it bother him. For the first time in what felt like for ever Baron and his son where together. Glancing at his son from the living room table Baron could see how much Kaleb had grown. He was almost four years old and already his little twin the exception was his son had much more hair then him. Baron and Kaleb spent their time together in the park playing and chatting away about what they have missed together. As the day got later they returned back to the apartment for dinner which they ate in front the T.V.

As the late night arrived Samdi prepared his son for bed in the guest room. Since he didn't have any spare pjs for his little man Samdi gave Kaleb on of his t-shirts that look more like a dress for Kaleb than a shirt. " Daddy who was that lady? Kaleb said as he jumped into the big double bed. Samdi smiled at his son's curiosity " That was Roni." Samdi said thinking it was best his son called Regina Roni instead as many people were still under the curse. " Oh...Is she your girlfriend?" Kaleb said with a cheek smile on his face. Samdi softy laugh at his son's remark " It's complicated."Tucking in his little man Samdi made sure his son was nice and comfortable. " she seem nice." Kaleb said through a yawn. " Yes she is and I hope soon you and Roni will get to know each other." Kissing his son's forehead as he watched Kaleb's eyes get heavy. " Daddy?" "Yes Kaleb."

" What does Compic-ated mean?" Samdi smiled once again as his son was trying his best to fight the sleep. " I'll tell you in the morning but for now sleep my boy." It wasn't long before Kaleb was in a peaceful sleep, turning off the light in the guest room Baron too headed off to bed. Making a note that he would have to find Naveen another time.

Kaleb had woken up too early for Baron. Kaleb was filled with so much energy that Baron had no idea where it had come from. "Kaleb please sit still and eat your cereal, look cartoons are on your favourite." Baron said as he tried to calm down his three year old. " But daddy I'm Spider-man!" Kaleb shouted as he jumped on the couch. " Kaleb please eat your cereal."

" But daddy I'm not hungry!" Whined Kaleb to his father as he continued to bounced on the couch. " Kaleb even Spider-man eats his cereal come on now." Baron plead with his son however it seem to work as he stopped jumping and picked up his bowl of chocolate cheerios. Mentally cheering Baron quickly went to get ready for the day. Once he was dressed and ready he came back into the living room to find his son stilling by the T.V. watching the cartoons he had left on. " Did you finish your food Kaleb?" " Yes daddy! " Kaleb said still watching the screen. Softly laughing to himself Baron checked his phone for the time. It was 9:30 in the morning and Baron still had some time left with his son. However their was on person he wanted Kaleb to met properly no matter if Tiffany disagreed with him. " Kaleb come let get you ready there is someone I wanted you to meet."

10:15, Regina and Zelena were already in the bar. Regina didn't sleep much due to stress and neither did Zelena as she was missing her fiance. Cleaning the surface of the bar table Regina tried to keep her mind busy , away from the unsettling encounter with Baron's ex Tiffany. Just thinking about her made Regina irritated. " Thinking about yesterday?" Zelena said as she stood near her little sister. " I just can't get over what happen, everything you said was right but at the same time I understand why he did." Regina was lost in her emotions. She had strong feeling for Baron but he came with so much issues and so did she. She understood why he kept his cursed life a secret but she couldn't help but feel hurt at the same time. " Regina are you sure you want to continue your relationship with the witch doctor I mean like you said last night he has situations to sort out." Zelena was trying to reason with her sister but Regina didn't want to hear it. " Zelena please, I still want to be with him it just that why does everything have to be so difficult." Regina sighed to herself. " Regina all Samedi will do is bring you heartbreak and tears." But before Zelena finished her sentence Regina gave her a look that would rival medusa herself. Stopping mid-sentence Zelena closed her mouth. " Zelena not another word. Okay"

Making sure the glass behind the bar were clean Regina watched the first bunch of Customers enter the bar. Wishing that her morning shift Wouldn't drag along. When the clock 11 am Regina was busy attending to her customers when she noticed a familiar face enter her bar. Baron and his young son took a seat on of the free tables in the bar. Kaleb began to play with menus on the table when Samdi looked towards bar table where Regina was standing. Catching her eyes with his Samdi just hoped Regina was feeling a lot more better then yesterday. Regina was stared at Samdi with shock. she didn't expect him to make his way to the bar at this hour with his son. Taking a deep breath Regina made her way to the table where she was greet by a eager young curly haired boy. " Hi!" Kaleb with a bold smile. Regina instantly smiled at the boy, his charming smile reminded her of his father and the more she looked at him the more he reminded her. He really was like a mini Samdi. " Hi Little one. Samdi you do know that we don't have a kids menu?" Regina looked at Samdi with concern. " I know it just me and Kaleb wanted to invite you for an afternoon walk through the park." Regina looked back at the little boy who nodded right back her with his cheek smile.

" I would love to but Samdi Tiffany made her terms clear." Regina teasingly smiled at Samdi knowing what he was doing. " Yes but me and Kaleb have decided to keep this small date a secret isn't that right Kaleb." Kaleb giggled at both the adults " Mummy can't know shhh!" Kaleb said as he put a finger to mouth. Both of the adults laughed at Kaleb reaction. " Well what do you think? It's my way of saying sorry for yesterday." Regina was debating with herself. She didn't wanted to course anymore trouble but the same time she wanted to be around Samdi. " Please Roni...Please come with us." Kaleb said with the biggest smile he could muster. Regina chortled " Fine, I get off my morning shift around 12 pm." " Perfect will meet you at the Hyperion Park around 12:15 then."

Regina was still smiling but when more loud customers came into the bar Regina became serious. " As much as I love your company Samdi this is no place for a three year old." " Alright fine will leave." Samdi could already see the mother side of Regina coming out and Samdi's smile only grew. Ushering them out of the door Samdi quickly placed a peck on her soft lips which Regina gladly returned. Parting from the kiss Samdi whispered into her ear. " I'll See you later." With that Samdi left with his son.

When 12:15 pm came around Regina had arrived at the local park. Walking down the patch of the park Regina spotted a little curly haired boy running around the open green fields. It didn't take long for the young boy to notice Regina and began running towards her with his hair bouncing behind him. " Roni You came!" Kaleb was now by Regina side taking in deep breaths from running to fast. " Oh course I came." Regina said as the young boy took Regina's hand. " Come daddy this way!" Kaleb said pulling Regina along with him. As Regina and Kaleb went to meet up with Samdi they had no idea that they were being watched. In the far distance Rumple or Weaver had watched Regina with Samdi's son.

Weaver already knew that Samdi was after the dagger and he knew what he wanted for. Weaver had changed a lot over the years but Keeping his dagger save had not changed and last thing he wanted was Samdi getting anywhere near it. However now knowing his Samdi's weakness he could find a way to persuade the witch doctor way from his dreadful mission to destroy him. After all Love is a powerful tool to use.
