Author's Note: The first of the promised "snapshots" of the universe created in "That's How You Know". Each chapter is its own one-shot. As far as this one goes, I literally woke up with this scenario in my head this morning and had to put my morning routine on hold to write it down and post.

The (Right) Full Name

In hindsight, Regina doesn't remember what the argument or lecture was about. All she remembers is Henry turning, getting ready to storm off to his room. Without thinking, she snaps, "Henry Daniel Mills, don't you dare walk away from me!"

He freezes, and so does she. I sound just like my mother. The thought horrifies her, even as a small voice tries to reassure her that she is better than her mother, because Cora wouldn't have stopped at just words, magic would have made an appearance—Cutting off that line of thought, Regina opens her mouth to apologize. Instead, she lets out a small, "Oof!" as her son barrels into her, arms wrapping tightly around her. What the… "Henry?"

"Did you ever," Henry says, his voice muffled by her shoulder, "say or hear something over and over and just know it wasn't right?"

Regina tenses, remembering how long it took her to get used to the title of "Your Majesty". She nods, although it takes a second for her voice to start working again. "Yes?" Confusion turns her answer into a question.

"Do you know how weird it's been all these years," Henry continues, finally pulling back slightly to look at her, "that when I get in trouble and Ma full-names me she says, 'Henry Daniel Swan'?"

Regina can't help but laugh. Henry's indignation and the absurdity of the situation combine to pull a proper, deep belly laugh from her. A moment later, Henry does the same. Still laughing, Regina wraps her arms around her boy and hugs him tight, glad beyond words to have her son back.

Author's Note: No schedule set, but I promise there are more snapshots on their way. Hope you enjoyed!
