She loves me, she loves me not
'Henry, can we talk?'
'Sure mom, you alright?'
Regina PoV
I'm not sure how to answer that question. How do I tell my son that I have feelings for his biological mother? He thinks I hate her and want to kill her. I don't want that no matter how much I despise her mother.
'Mom you seem a little zoned out. What's wrong?'
Knock knock
Regina makes her way over to the door expecting to see the idiot charming coming to take Henry away to teach him how to sword fight like the prince he's meant to be. The dramatic eye roll given to that idea is dangerously evil. She pulls back the door and is stunned into silence. Not really expecting to see the woman of her internal worries.
'Hello madam mayor, is Henry about I need to tell him something.'
Regina PoV
Come on Regina. Say something. Anything. You are standing here with your mouth hanging open like a peasant. This isn't very queen like of you. Think what mother would say. Regina honestly I thought all my training would have taught you better than to act nothing more than a peasant.
'Miss Swan, Henry is in the dining room. Please go through.'
Regina PoV
Ok Regina. No need to panic. Emma is here to talk to Henry. She is not here for you. Where the hell did that come from. Breathe Regina. You are meant to be strong and refined. Stand tall, chin up and walk in there and be the regal queen you was taught to be.
What Regina didn't know was that Emma was having her own little panic attack on her way to speak to Henry. Not all that different from the internal argument that Regina was having with herself. Neither knowing just how similar each others thoughts were about each other.
Emma PoV
Pull yourself together swan. Yes Regina's legs in that black, very tight pencil skirt are delicious enough to have my mouth all over them. dammit swan! Stop! That is Henry's mother and she doesn't even like you. Change your face and go and talk to the kid.
'Hey kid, what you doing in here on your own? Why aren't you playing video games or doing homework?'
'Emma!... I was waiting for mom. She said she needed to talk to me about something. She has been acting a little weird today. Well more weird than normal. She definitely hiding something. What are you doing here?'
Emma PoV
Weird?! What the hell is she up to now? If she's got a new game or plan up her sleeve I'll be ready this time.
'Miss swan, was there something important that you needed to talk to Henry about that it possibly couldn't have waited until he is at that place you call home tonight?'
'Erm…Erm… Yeah about that. Regina can the kid stay here with you tonight instead? I kind of made plans and I kinda can't get out of it. It's important.'
Regina PoV
What can really be so important that she can't possibly take care of my son. Is she going out on a date? No. She can't possibly be going on a date. Who he hell would she be going out with.
'Miss swan, what could be at the upmost importance that you can't take care of my son tonight? Did it ever cross your mind that I plan to do things when you take Henry for the night?'
'Well madam mayor, I have plans with ruby. And no. It is not any of your business. And plans? Who could you possibly have plans with tonight?'
Regina PoV
Miss Lucas really miss swan. That is who you want to go out on a date with. She does have a great behind and a generous amount of cleavage on view but she's hardly a woman to be serious about. Does she really think that I can have plans? She still must think I'm some kind of monster.
'It is my business if you are going on a date with miss Lucas. I don't want my son involved with that. Do you understand, miss swan?'
Emma PoV
If glares could kill I would be so dead. Is she jealous? No surely that's not it. Why does she think I am going out on a date with ruby. it's a bloody business meeting. I need help with the station and she has offered to help me out as deputy all I'm doing is taking her up on the offer. Where the hell has the idea of a date come from.
'Madam mayor, like I told you it is none of your business. I came here to tell Henry that his grumps is running behind and won't be able to pick him up for another hour. Is that OK with you, your majesty.'
'MOMS! I am standing right here. Will you both stop fighting with each other. Mom, your acting strange. Stop taking all your issues with Emma. And Emma stop pushing moms buttons just because you know that you can.'
Emma and Regina are both stop shocked by Henry's interruptions. Both forgetting that he was actually still in the room with them. They both have no idea what to say to him. Regina stiffens. She straightens her back and walks towards her office as gracefully as a queen and slams the door behind her. Emma takes one look at Henry whop just shrugs his shoulders. She takes that as her queue to do some damage control even though she has no idea what just happened. Emma raises her hand to knock but before she can she stops in her tracks. She hears sniffling.
Emma PoV
Is she really crying? I've never heard cry before. Shit. This can't be good. Right swan. You can do this. If she shouts at you deal with it. Come on swan just go in there and try and sort this out. At least for Henry's sake.
She stands there not knowing what to do next. Does she go in and talk to her or run away out that door quicker than you can say bear claw. Without even thinking about what's she's doing, she opens the door to Regina's office and walks in. What she doesn't expect to see is Regina sat down on the floor against the back wall. Her normal pristine clothing is all crumpled from where she has slumped down to the ground. She has her hands in her hair pulling at the scalp in frustration.
'Erm.. Regina are you okay?'
'Miss wan. Get out! I am fine.'
'Really your majesty? Is that why you are currently in your office sitting on the floor, with mascara down your face and your hair a mess. If that's what you call fine then I'm currently unstable.'
Regina PoV
Why is she doing this to me?! I am already showing her the damaged side of me. Isn't hat bad enough? Does she just want to watch and make me feel humiliated. Well it won't work miss swan.
'Isn't it bad enough that you are seeing me like this? Less than the regal queen that I am. Do you like making a fool of me? I told you to get out miss swan so for once in your life will you just do as I ask.'
'Regina. You don't have to be perfect all the god damn time. You aren't queen here. You are our mayor. But more than that you are Regina first.'
Neither of them noticed that Emma had been creeping forward towards Regina until she was standing right beside her. Emma reaching out her hand to help Regina up off the floor.
'look it's fine, you don't have to tell me what's wrong or what the hell just happened out that. Because honestly I have no clue. But if I said or did something to offend you more than normal then I would like to know.'
Regina didn't say anything. She took Emma's offered hand and lulled herself to her feet. The next thing to happen shocked them both. Regina pulled Emma into s life altering kiss, passionate, soft but strong all in one. Both of them just enjoying the moment until Regina pulls away from. Both of them unaware of two tiny eye peeking through the gap in between the office door.
'Regina.. What the hell?!'
'Get out miss swan. Goodbye.'
Henry moves away form the door before his other mother stumbles out of the office. He takes notice that Emma looks a little more confused and flustered that he had ever seen her.
'What the hell was that?' Henry asked the silence of the hallway.
