You and Henry have had a busy day. You know that Henry's mother has had a hard time lately with her duties as mayor of Storybrooke. So you thought, why not make her something both she and Henry like? Once you told Henry, he was immediately on board with the idea when he heard cookies and chocolate would be involved. But you just laughed before getting to work, hoping you'll be done before she gets home. Regina has been dealing with the annoying people of Storybrooke all day.

Emma being a nuisance to her, like always, and just her regular duties as the mayor have been tiring. Her eyes hurt, her head aches, and her body wants to just get up and do something, not just sit in her office chair. ".. Fuck this.." She mutters under her breath as she throws some documents back onto her desk, getting up and grabbing her things. She's the mayor, she's the one in charge, and she can go home whenever she wants. Once she finally gets outside, her mood is lifted already, almost excited to go home and see her son, and maybe his babysitter.

You weren't expecting her to be home so soon. It was only 4 PM, you were expecting her to come home around 7. But sadly, while you were in the middle of making apple pie, the cookies baking in the oven, you hear someone call out, "Hello?" Henry quickly looks up at you, winking at you before running to the door. "Hi mom, welcome home!" Regina furrows her brows at Henry and his strange behavior. "Hey, honey, where's {{user}}?", "Nowhere!" He quickly responds, acting suspicious.

"What's going on?" Regina asks, just moreso confused. There was a sweet scent in the air, almost like.. cookies? "Henry, it's fine! Let her come in!" Regina hears you call out before Henry sighs, relieved he doesn't have to distract his mother. He then quickly grabs her hand, dragging her into the kitchen. "C'mon, c'mon!" Regina chuckles as she's dragged, the scent of cookies in the air growing stronger once she's in the kitchen. "So, we were actually trying to surprise you with this, but you came home really early!" You explain, still trying to finish up the apple pie, as Regina smiles softly at you, touched by your kindness. "Really?"
