Third chance at love

Apologies and tears

Ella wasn't ready to hear it. No way on earth she would let her daughter be taught by the Shadow-man. " Regina you can't be serious." The last thing Ella wanted was Lucy learning dark magic at such a young age. It was clear they had no option but Ella just couldn't approve. " I'm sorry I can't do this. I don't trust him and Regina you  know this."

Henry however was done with arguing. He hadn't seen his mum in months and when they did talk they would fight. He was missing her so much but Henry knew if he wanted his mum back he had to think about her feels as well as his wife. Regina was right before and Henry understood he had to give Facilier the time and day to get to know him. He could tell how much his mum loved him, he could see it in her eyes. Henry wanted his family to be together again without fighting now two members were coming into the family. Within the months Regina had been gone Henry was now coming to the terms with his mum's boyfriend and her decision. If he could give killian a chance then he could give Facilier a chance too, right? However, if anything happen to his mum in the hands of Facilier Henry knew he would definitely make him pay. No matter what. " Ella please can you give me and mum some privacy. I need to talk to her alone." looking at his wife he could tell she wasn't happy with his decision but without another word she left with her daughter. Ella hoped Henry wouldn't buy into Regina's request for Facilier as Lucy's teacher. Anyone but him.

Silence filled the room as soon as Ella and Lucy left. Regina was surprised her son wanted to talk to her alone. They hadn't had a calm conversation in weeks and Regina was tried of fighting her son. " You really do love him don't you mum." Regina was shocked. Henry had never asked about her feelings towards Facilier. "He means everything to me. His the love of my life." Henry could hear the love in his mum's voice and it made him smile. He never thought his mother would be truly happy again after Robin's death but hearing her talk about how much she loved Facilier Henry couldn't help but feel happy. " mum I'm tried of fighting with you and I'm tried of causing you stress. It has to stop so I decided to get know Facilier. Ella isn't going to like it but I can't lose you... I Just can't." Henry said as he took Regina's hands into his. " I love you mum and I really do respect your decisions but I want to get to know Facilier before he teaches Lucy." Regina could feel her eyes tearing up. It was like a huge rock had lifted off her shoulders, Henry was finally giving her boyfriend a chance. Finally. Regina let the tears run down her cheeks. She was over joyed her son had changed his mind. " mum don't cry please you know I hate seeing you cry." Henry said as he pulled his mother into a warm hug. After a moment Henry Let his mum go and wiped her tears away.

"Henry I was scared I was losing you as the months went by but today you really have lifted my spirits. I know this isn't easy for you but I promise you Raphael is a wonderful man and would never hurt our family or me." Henry looked at Regina with confusion. "Raphael?"
" Oh, that's Facilier first name." Regina said with a smile as Henry understood. " What about Ella? What are you going tell her?"
Henry and Ella told each other everything but telling her about him meeting Raphael was going to terrified her to the core. However Henry was done pushing his mum away. " I will tell her after me and Facilier have met, maybe I could persuade her to come around eventually but Mum this is going to take some time." Regina agreed with Henry and just wished her family now could move forward together instead of a apart.

Looking through some important documents about her kingdom security in her new office Tiana was suddenly interrupted by Ella's dramatic entrance. Straight away she could feel the tension Radiating off Ella and this concern her. " What's the matter with you. You look pissed off." Tiana said as she moved her attention to her friend. " Lucy has magic." Tiana's eyes lit up. " She does that's great! Are you upset about it? Tiana said as she watched Ella pace her office.  No, I annoyed because Lucy needs a teacher and the only person for the job is the Shadow man."
"What! No, Dr Facilier can't teach Lucy magic are you crazy. That man is nothing but trouble." Ella agreed but she had a weird feeling Henry was up to something. " I think Henry might go long with it." Tiana was in disbelief. " he can't. I know Regina is with that demon of a man but you can't let him in. He's nothing but a trickster and you know this." Tiana was still shocked Regina was with that man and having his kids. As much as she respected Regina for her role as a queen she just couldn't respect the fact she was dating the shadow man. If Tiana had her way she would make Dr Facilier pay for his crimes against her and her people. He would never see the night or day again. Especially for what he did to Naveen on her coronation day. " He should be arrested for his crimes." Tiana said as she shared the same hatred for the man. " Yes but Regina would never allow such things to happen." Ella said with frustration. Ella really wanted Dr Facilier out of the picture but as long as Regina loved him she knew this wouldn't happen. " maybe one day he will show his true colours and Regina will finally realise he isn't the one." Tiana and Ella spoke for another hour or so about the shadow man issue. Their desire to kick him out for good only grew more and lead to Tiana wanting to find out the shadow man's weakness. She knew the shadow man played with dark magic and was from the over side of the Kingdom but apart from that Tiana didn't know much about her enemy. Maybe there's a way to get back at him for what he did to Naveen. He shouldn't have magic in the first. Was it possible to strip people from their magical abilities? Tiana thought. Tiana wanted him to pay, as Queen she wanted him suffer the consequences of his actions. What Dr Facilier did to Naveen had changed him. Naveen was never the same as he was haunted by nightmares of the horrible event that almost got him killed. Being attacked by a huge alligator would change you even Tiana was scarred. However nobody double cross the Queen. Especially the shadow man.
