A/n: I apologize it's been forever, I haven't been able to come up with a decent story line.

So, anyway….review and all that jazz.

Having connections to a Mayor is usually a good thing, right? Get out of speeding tickets, get out of first degree murder…okay, maybe not the latter, but you get my point. However, Regina has made my life worse being mayor, how? Well, I gave up my son, Henry for adoption, I don't think the reasons are important, really. Just matters that I did it. Regina adopted him. That's going to cause issues, right there.

There was a knock on my door, Mary Margret, my roommate and Henry's elementary school teacher, opened the door. Of course, it was none other Regina.

"Emma, I need to talk to you about Henry."

"When do you not?" I asked sarcastically.

Regina rolled her eyes. "Please?" It was the first time I had ever heard her say 'please' it must be important.

"Alright." I stepped onto the front porch.

"You remember Sherriff Graham?" Regina asked.

I blinked away the tears. "Yes."

"Well, I have to go to out of town to a press conference related to his death. Henry is only ten. - I need him to stay with you."

"He not have Grandparents?"

"Not that could take of him. I don't like you very much, but I love my son, and he loves you."

"How long would you be gone?"

"A week. Maybe a little longer."

"How long does a press conference take?"

"Just the one day, but I have to drive there, and I have a couple other meetings while I'm there."

"I have no problem with it." I said. "Let me check with Mary Margaret."

I stepped back inside the house, Mary Margaret and Henry were sitting at the table, Mary Margaret was eating a sandwich and Henry was reading his book on fairy tales.

"Henry, go read upstairs, please?"

"Do I get to stay here?" He asked.

I cocked my head.

"Mom told me last night she was going to ask you.

"Alright, Mary Margaret do you care if he stays here for about a week?"

"Not at all. I think it would be fun to have a kid around here."

I nodded and stepped back outside the house.

"That's fine." I said.

"Thanks." Regina said sighing and walking off.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" I called after her.

Regina didn't answer, maybe because she didn't hear me, or maybe because she was hiding something.
