 Silence filled the room as Henry waited for his mother to answer him but Regina could only stare in complete shock. Her son was standing right in front of her and her beloved boyfriend but all she could do was stare in disbelief. Their secret was out and there was no going back. It was now or never. Knowing it wasn't going to be easy Raphael took Regina's hand into his to reassure her. He was by her side no matter the outcome of this and Regina knew that.
Taking a deep breath Regina looked at all the confused faces in the room and gave a small smile. " Henry, Ella we can explain." Henry quickly interrupted Regina as he was taken back by the word "WE". 
"What do you mean We!" Both Henry and Ella said in confusion.
Looking at Raphael, he gave her courage to continue. " Henry I know this is awkward for everyone but Facilier and me are in a relationship, we have been for quite awhile. I knew  keeping this as a secret was wrong but at the time we started our relationship Drizella and Gothel was still a problem. I didn't want to add more stress to the situation."
Henry was beginning to feel mixed emotions. He just couldn't believe it. How could his mother hide such a thing from him especially for so long. He had suspicion that his mother was dating again as he had been many years since Robin's tragic death. He also knew their was some history between them as he sensed it when he first encountered Dr Facilier at Tiana's coronation but not this, Regina wasn't just dating a normal guy she was dating a Villain who had hurt and tricked his friends. He always thought his mother would be honest with him but he thought wrong. She was back to hiding things from him which brought back emotions he once felt during the first curse as a boy. " Ten years, mum that a long time was you ever going to me? What about that man you was with at party or was that just a disguise another on of his tricks to hide the truth."
" Henry Yes of course I was going to tell you. tried to at breakfast but things took a turn for the worst.  I was waiting for the right moment. As for the man at party yes. It was Facilier in disguise." Regina explained. " Henry I'm Sorry."
Henry felt betrayed. Henry eyes was now on the man his mother's new love interest.  " Do you love my mother or this just another one of your tricks." Looking  into Henry's eyes he answered his question. " It's no trick Henry I love your mother. I have for a very long time." Facilier was truthful with Henry but Henry wasn't buying it. not yet. " Then why have you caused so much trouble for my friends and family. I believe it was you took Naveen and locked him up for own personal gain." Henry said with a hostile tone. " HENRY?!" Regina didn't like were this was going but Henry only continued with more angry in his voice. " If you really loved my mother you wouldn't of made so much chaos among the kingdom with your fortune telling tricks, you could of help us fight Gothel."

" Tiana said you were never to trusted. She told me you have been nothing but threat to this kingdom with your dark magic. You have torn so many families apart, why should we believe anything you say?" Ella Said as she too wasn't buying Facilier's niceness. Raphael looked between his Henry and Ella. They were right not to trust him, they had no reason too after everything he had done in the past but he hoped that out of all people Henry would give him a chance. " Because I have changed. Being with Regina has given me the strength to move away from the darkness. The only thing I want is to be happy and Regina showed me the way to that dream. I don't expected you both to trust me just yet but please give me a chance to prove to you I have changed for the better." 

  Regina decided to continue as Ella and Henry had become quite " Henry there is one more thing we have to tell you and it do with my sudden sickness over the couple of weeks...Henry I'm pregnant.....with twins." Henry and Ella were gobsmacked. Looking at the couple Henry could only shake his head. His emotions were all over the place and it left him confused, angry and happy all at once. Yes he was glad his mother had found happiness again but the fact she had kept it to herself for so long and was with the untrustworthy Shadow man hurt him deeply. Needing some space Henry left with out a word.
