What If..?

What if...making a cake brings Mal and Harry back together?

Three months after Mal brought Harry and Uma in Storybrooke, it was Henry's birthday. Regina wanted a medium cake for all the guests but she didn't mind the details as much as she wanted it to be really tasty. Knowing Mal loves cooking and even getting to eat most of the things she made, she asked this favour of her. Mal happily accepted. Little did she know that a certain pirate was gonna volunteer to help her.
**How is it?** She asked for his opinion about the whip cream.
**You're really good at this.** Harry stated as he took one more spoon of cream.
Mal took a spoon herself enjoying the taste of the whip cream.
**And how's the other cream? The vanilla one.** She asked wanting to be sure that the cake is gonna be delicious.
**It's a bit too sweet for my taste**
**Too sweet?** Mal tasted the cream concluding that Harry was right. She put the bowl aside making a second attempt. Harry changed the sugar portions and now the cream was just perfect.
**So?** He looked at Mal asking for her opinion.
**Yup. This is perfect.** "Such a genuine smile." Harry thought. He laughed as he saw vanilla cream left on Mal's lips.
**Why are you laughing?**
**You've got some cream left.**
He couldn't let his chance slip so before she could wipe that off, he kissed her lips, licking the cream off of them. He smiled at the shocked look on Mal's face. The two of them haven't had an alone moment in a few years. After Mal left him on the Isle to get back to Neverland with Pan, things haven't been the same for them, but their feelings were still there. She couldn't say anything. She just looked at him. When Harry dipped the spoon in the cream again and some of it fell on his fingers she just took his hand and licked the cream off his fingers. Looking at a now stunned pirate she smirked.
**I'm still the dominant one.** She said.
**Darling, we both know I was the dominant one, but I have to say, you weren't bad yourself.** He studied her toe to head wrapping an arm around her small waist. He closed the gap between their lips as he trapped her and placed her on the table sucking at her neck leaving bite marks. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he held her close, their tongues dancing together. She jumped off the table when she heard the door cracking open.
**What are you guys up to?** Uma asked.
**Making Henry's cake. What about you?**
**Eh. Just checking up on you. Hold on. What's that?**
**What?** Mal was confused.
**That on your neck. Is it a hickey?** She looked suspiciously at Harry as Mal quickly responded.
**I burned myself using the oven.**
**How in the world did you manage to do that?** Uma didn't believe her.
**I tripped. Don't ask how.**
**Oh you should've seen her face!** Harry started laughing. **And God how she started swearing!** He laughed even more and that got him a harsh kick in the stomach by Mal.
**Not funny!** She greeted through her teeth.
**Geez! I think the smoke has gotten to your head you two!**
They instantly looked at each other screaming. **SMOKE?!**
It was this time that Uma started laughing. **I can't believe you got fooled!! Oh, what a day! Now hurry up you two! The party starts in 2 hours!** With that, she left.
Harry was about to laugh but was quickly interrupted by Mal. **Don't you dare!** He was surprised. **I was behind you! How the bloody hell did you know?**
She turned and giving him a playful smack on the cheek. **I'm full of surprises.**
**You bewitched me..**
**Well duh. I'm a witch.** She gave him a kiss near his lips. **Now get to work! You heard Uma.**
**Missed the tease..** He laughed and joined her finishing the perfect cake for Henry. Everyone loved the designs they made and Regina was very pleased.
