My Mother's Bestfriend (Sequel)

Regina's POV

I get up and groan. Mal is killing my body. Not like that! God definitely not like that! I could not sleep with her. Not when I would be thinking about Emma. What I meant is that she's been taking me to zumba classes. It's fun but a lot of work. It's dancing and exercising to music. I get up and I shower. I put on a hoodie and leggings. Christmas socks. Mal got me them one day. We we're talking about nothing and I told her I really liked christmas socks and she came back with a ton of them. It's so cute. And. thoughtful. I go into the nursery to get Isabel. I pick her up and kiss her cheek.

"Hi love bug." She smiles and I hold her close going downstairs. Henry is probably already awake.

"Hungry mommy!"

"What do you want sweetie?" I ask bending down to his height.

"Pancakes." I smile. His favorite. Emma's favorite. And also Mal's favorite. She orders pancakes whenever we go out for breakfast. Every time I tell you. There's a knock on my door and I put Isabel in the high chair and go to the front door opening it without looking. Mal is standing there with a single rose.

"Hi. What's this?" I say in shock.

"You're so beautiful." She says. I blush and look down smiling.

"Thank you come in. I'm about to make some breakfast."

"Pancakes?"

"Yep." She smiles and I lean up to kiss her cheek but she turns her head and my lips meet hers. I wrap one arm around her neck and she turns me around pushing me against the door.

"Mommy?" I jump away from Mal looking at my son.

"Hey baby."

"What you and Mal doing?"

"Mommy had something in her eye. I was just helping."

"You stay for bweakfast?"

"Yeah." He smiles and grabs her hand but she turns to me and I kiss her cheek smiling. She smiles and hands me the rose.

"I'll go play Henry."

"Thank you for that save."

"Of course I'm sorry for kissing you."

"It's fine Mal." She nods and follows Henry into the living room. I put it in a vase and start on breakfast.

Emma's POV

You don't know how much I miss my family. I'm busy so I don't miss her too much. I'm not thinking when I'm on the field. But whenever I get free time I think about Regina which leads to thinking about Henry. And that's not good. It makes me sad and I don't want to be sad anymore. I hate this. I wonder how's Regina's been coping recently. I hope she's happy. I hope she's not sulking around.

Regina's POV

I finish breakfast and I bring it into the living room. I set their plates down on the coffee table and Mal pulls me onto her lap.

"Mal."

"Sit with me."

"I have to get Henry's milk and your coffee. I'll be right back." She lets me go and I stand off her lap. She smacks my ass and I punch her shoulder.

"Ow!" I laugh shaking my head. I get their drinks and my plate. I sit on the couch and hand Henry his sippy cup. He moves to sit on the floor on his knees while watching cartoons. I sit next to Mal and she wraps her arm around my waist and we sit and watch Spongebob.

"Mhm these are so good." She moans in my ear and I push her. She laughs and I shake my head.

"You're so annoying." I say and she kisses my cheek.

"You okay with me kissing you? I can stop if you want me to. You're just so cute. And your cheeks look so damn kissable. I can't help it. But I can if you don't want me to." I turn to look at her. She's such a good friend. Or more. Or whatever the hell we are.

"I like it. Since Emma I've been lonely and I'm not trying to make you feel like you're some rebound or some-thing I actually like you. I still love Emma of course, she gave me a family and months of joy and happiness. But she's not here and it's time to start being happy again. And honestly Mal. You make me happy."

"I'm glad. I just want to make you happy." I lean forward and she meets me halfway. I wrap my arms around her neck pulling her closer. She smiles against my lips and I giggle pulling away.

"You're so beautiful Reggie."

"Ew never call me that."

"Reggie."

"Ugh! I really do hate you. You are so annoying."

"But you like me."

"Stop." I hide my face in her neck and she rubs my back soothingly.
