Setting : storybrook after the second curse.
Snow awoke next to David, in their loft apartment. She smiled as her love turned to face her.
" Good morn.... Snow what I.. but.. What! " David was in utter shock as he looked at Snow's bulging stomach, the curse had left them not knowing what had happened in the last year.
Snow had no words she looked at David in shock and excitement.

Regina was woken by the dawn chorus. She lift her head and looked around her empty bedroom, her heart could feel that something was missing, something that her heart needed. Her mind began to wonder what if could be, but was brought back by the sound of her phone buzzing.
" Hello" her voice croaked as she had not yet spoken that day.
" Regina, it's Snow." Snow stated the obvious.
" Yes Snow I got that it was you from the caller id. " Regina said sarcastically.
" Anyways will you come over please there is something not right." Snow's voice sounded worried.
" Give me 15 minutes" Regina put the phone down and began to get ready. She pulled on her most fierce looking high waisted black pencil skirt, and red blouse, black heels and did her harsh make up before using her magic to get herself to Snow and David's apartment.
In a puf of purple smoke she appeared at the door. She knocked twice and waited for them to answer.
"Regina hi" David opened the door allowing Regina to walk in.
"Snow holy...." Regina began but stopped herself as she could see the look on Snow's face. " When did this Happen? "
" That's it Regina, I have no memory of the last year, the last thing I remember is saying good bye to Emma and Henry, and look at the date." Snow pointed to her phone. It was exactly a year ago they had parted ways with Emma and Henry.
" I want it on record now that this was NOT my fault." Regina stated with her sassy attitude.
" Regina don't you feel like something is missing like you can't remember something? " Snow looked deep into Regina's eyes.
" I feel like something I've loved is missing, and I'm going to sound like a bad mother but it's not Henry, I love him and i miss him so much, but this is something else." With that said Regina went up in a cloud of purple smoke, leaving snow and David.
She appeared in the woods near the old troll bridge. She needed to think. She only had Henry so this feeling she had confused her greatly. She stood silently behind a tree concealing herself from the man she could see walking towards the troll bridge.
" I don't understand" he said out loud, "where is this Place? "
" Storybrook, Maine" Regina's voice boomed.
" Milady please forgive me, i did not know you where here." He bowed his head in respect for his Queen.
" Relax outlaw, we aren't in the enchanted forest anymore." Regina sniggered.
" Milady, I feel like I have missed something, and I can't explain why." The outlaw stated.
" You have missed a whole year out law that could be why." Regina said jokingly. She felt like she could be herself around him.
" Is this it to storybrook, a vast Woods? " the outlaw questioned.
" No I'm heading back to the town now if you would care to join Me? " Regina smiled at him, for reasons unknown to herself.
" Papa! Papa!" A small voice shouted
"Roland, I thought you were staying with little John?" He spoke to his son.
" I wanted to explore with you Papa, who's the lady Papa? " Roland question.
The outlaw place his son back on the ground.
"I'm Regina, and who might you Be? " Regina smiled
"I'm Roland Locksley." Roland stuck out his hand to shake Regina's.
" It's very nice to meet you Roland Locksley. Me and your Papa where about to go exploring, are you coming with Us? " Regina said sweetly.
" Papa Please? " Roland turned to his father.
" Alright but stay where I can see you." With that Roland ran ahead of them exploring every tree.
" he's a very polite young man you and his mother must be proud." Regina said.
"I'm sure his mother would be, but sadly she is not here to see him." He went quiet.
" I am sorry. I didn't mean to." Regina stopped as she realised she didn't even know this man's name. "Sorry I didn't catch your name."
"It's quiet alright Milady, and it's Robin Locksley. Or Robin Hood to some." He looked her in the eye.
" Papa!" The little boy screamed. Regina saw him falling out of a tree. Before he could hit the ground Regina waved her hand and the boy froze mid air. Both Robin and Regina ran over to him.
Robin plucked his boy out of the air and held him close. " Thank you milady. You saved his life. " Robin had tears in his eyes. " Roland your going to walk with me now no going off."
"How about you just don't climb any Trees?" Regina knelt down to Roland's hight.
" Papa, I won't climb." He begged.
" If the Queen says it's alright we must stick by her word." Robin answered and Roland head off.
"You know who I am then?" Regina knew her reputation was enough to scare anyone away.
"Yes milady, your the Queen of the Kingdom. Forgive me milady but you do not seem to fit the stories I have heard about you." Robin smiled at her.
His voice made Regina's knees go weak. His smile made her breath hitch in her throat. She simply smiled at him in reply.
" This is It, storybrook town." Regina pointed. Roland had stopped about 50 yards ahead of them.
" Please forgive me milady" Robin prepared himself for his next action
"What For? " Regina was confused.
Robin didn't answer he placed his hands on Regina's hips and pulled her in crashing his lips against hers. Before she could push him awake, memories of the missing year came flooding back, the year she had spent with Robin their love her true love, her soul mate. She melted into his arms kissing him passionately before pulling back.
"You remember now then, Locksley." Regina pulled him back in for another kiss but was interrupted by the voice of a young boy.
" Gina! I've missed you." Roland hugged Regina tightly.
Regina could feel her happy ending falling into place.
