Once Upon A Time: Season 3

Chapter 20

I stayed at Regina's for a few nights. Emma and Henry were trying to decide weather they should stay with David and Mary-Margret and the new baby, or stay at Granny's for now. But I wanted my old bed back! It was strange being in my room again. I'd forgotten what it was like. The piles of books everywhere, which I noticed Regina had tidied up a little so they were in neat rows or piles rather than scattered everywhere! Sleeping in my bed felt so good! And waking up the next morning and smelling food from downstairs, being able to eat in my pjs, I hadn't done that since New York, I didn't think Granny would appreciate it!

"Morning. I've made some pancakes and bacon. Syrup is on the table. I've got some errands I need to run, will you be ok?" Regina asked

"Yeah" I said helping myself to some food "I'm supposed to meeting Emma and Henry today anyway. I'll text you when I'm on my way home" I said before taking a mouthful of pancakes

"I noticed you've stopped calling her Mom" Regina said

"I switch, I don't really notice it any more. It's easier and if I called you Regina all the time and her Mom, it would offend you, and if I did the same to Emma, it would offend her. I don't even call Killian dad all the time and I only have one!" I said

"That's fine, just do whatever your comfortable with" She said before kissing my head and getting her stuff to leave "I'll see you later. Bye" She said before leaving. I finished my breakfast and got dressed before heading over to Mary-Margret and David's. I saw Henry walking up the stairs engrossed in the Newspaper.

"Hey" I said as I helped steer him away form the wall he was about to crash into "Maybe, put the paper down for a second so you don't hurt yourself" I said

"Sorry" He replied before walking through the door "Hey, check it out! I think I found us a place" Henry said to everyone as we walked in

"Your looking for apartments?" Emma asked

"What do you think?" Henry asked showing her the paper

"Yes, Emma, what do you think?" Mary-Margret asked

"I think, your grandparents can't decide on what to name your uncle and are using a fairy tale tradition to try to buy themselves some time" Mom said ignoring the question. We were going to go shopping for a baby gift for our new uncle but I realized I left my bag with my money in at Regina's office

"Hey, I need to go grab my bag. I'll catch up later. Text me where you are" I said to Emma

"Will do, Kid" Emma said as I ran towards the office. I didn't think Regina would be in, I waved my hand in front of every door, unlocking them, and walked inside. I immediately regretted it! "Oh my god! Sorry, I left my bag in here... I'll just grab it" Mom was having a romantic meal with Robin by the fire. I kept apologising as I went to grab it "Sorry" I said again

"It's fine" Mom replied as I headed out

"Um, have fun. Enjoy your... errands" I said smiling before leaving and running back into town to catch up with Emma and Henry. When we had found gifts, we headed to Granny's for the name reveal. Henry read to the baby from the story book, and I caught up with Ruby

"God I've missed you" She said

"Me too" I replied before we kissed. She wasn't super chatty and seemed a bit off, but she wouldn't say what was up, even when I kept asking, she just said she was fine.

"Really? I can't hear the kids name yet, but I get to hear this story again?" Emma asked

"Well my son should know where he comes from" David replied

"Are you sure you want the first thing he knows to be that his parents fell in love during an armed robbery?" Emma asked

"I wasn't armed!" Mary-Margret replied
