Regina nodded and flashed Henry a warm smile. “How did you get so good, dear?” she half chuckled, ruffling his hair. She still couldn’t forgive everyone after all this time. She still had a mental list that had been ingrained in her of everyone who wronged her, but she was trying. And, although she was trying for Henry, she still couldn’t get used to the idea of Rumpelstiltskin being his grandfather. 

However, as Henry backed away from their embrace, she frowned a little. “I know, dear. But, as I said before, I don’t want to forget these things either. And, I continue to say these things because I know you didn’t believe them when you were younger,” she half scolded, taking a deep breath to calm herself. “I’ve lost so much in my life, Henry. I don’t want to lose you.”

“I have a good family, even if we are too many.” He laughed. IT was something he always had in mind, he couldn’t get annoyed by it, nor even complain. He couldn’t be alone, he had 3 different families, between his biological parents and his adoptive mother, and even if it was very complicated, because his adoptive mother was also his grandmother’s step mother, for example. He couldn’t complain at all. They work it out. That was something that he had to be grateful for. “And   you taught me well.”

He may have been ungrateful with her when he was little, but that wasn’t always like that. They were happy, until that book made him realize that no one ever got old. “Let’s change the topic, when are you going to give me a little sister or brother to tease at?”

Regina nodded as he spoke, a warm smile brightening her face. She was so proud of him. He had handle the transition so well from Storybrooke to the Enchanted and Forest and she couldn’t more happy. He had grown up to be everything she had dreamed him to be. So, she pulled him close and kissed his forehead. She quickly released, of course, knowing it would embarrass him and let him continue to speak. 

“Excuse you?” she choked, eyes widening at him. She was taken aback. She hadn’t thought about it. She was enjoying their little side of the family, and her and Snow were finally on good terms. But, as she took a deep breath, she bit her lower lip and tilted her head. “I guess I never thought about. Of course, that is something I would have to discuss with Philip. Do you really want that Henry?” she swallowed, her eyes glistening and kind as she put a hand on his shoulder.
