Ten of Hearts

Chapter 28: I Will Do Anything For You

The Next Day...

Regina woke up being chilly. Jefferson would always be there, laying next to her and kept her warm. She would snuggle into him and he would wrap his strong arms around her, holding her tight. She looked sadly over at the indentation of where he had laid before.

It was Friday so she planned on taking Grace to see Jefferson the next day. She went into the bathroom and took a shower and then went into her closet, reluctantly picking out what to wear. After that she went downstairs and Grace was almost ready. She made her breakfast and headed back upstairs. She had forgotten to eat for herself.

Regina got out of her pajamas and into her mayoral attire. She brushed her teeth and applied her makeup. She descended the stairs and saw a concerned look on Grace's face. "What's wrong Grace? You look worried-"

"I'm worried about you! You didn't even eat your breakfast. You've got to be hungry. Here," Grace said, walking towards her and took out something from her lunch box. "You can take my granola bar."

"Grace honey I'm fine," she insisted.

"Don't lie to me, mom. Seriously just take this. It's even got little chocolate chips in it."

Regina chuckled a little and took the bar from her. She wrapped an arm around Grace and led her out.

The Car

   "Hey mom, remember when Henry and I kept bugging you to make a move?"

   "Yeah.  I was really hard-headed."

   "Was?"

   "Watch it young lady.  So have you heard from Henry about Jamie?" Regina asked and turned the wheel. 

   "He still has a huge crush on her," Grace said with a disgusted face.

   "Hm.  Do you like anyone?" Regina asked.

   "Nope."

   "Good you're too young to date.  You'll date when you're 20."

   "Ugh.  But you know what I hate?  I hate that since you fell in love with my dad you keep getting broken apart.  I just want you guys happy and for us to be a family for once."

   "I know.  I wish that too.  But I think that since our love is so strong we will find a way to be a family," she said.

The Loft

   The blonde had woken up and was slowly getting ready for another day of crime-fighting.  Emma was casually eating a bowl of cereal while in her phone.  She texting some guy.  She didn't know how it happened but she kind of liked him.  Liked him liked him.  Plus she felt like crap for being a total jerk to Regina and Jefferson.

   She know she needed to apologize and that was the first thing she would do once she got into work.  Snow wasn't feeling very good, so she called in sick for school.  She saw her daughter at the bar, eating a bowl of Lucky Charms whilst on her phone.  Snow could see her fingers darting across the screen.  She was texting someone.  But who?
