A few things first:

* I own absolutely nothing, not the characters or the story.

* English is my second language so please forgive me if I make spelling/ grammar mistakes.

* Ideas are more than welcome! I do have a storyline already but I'm open to suggestions.

"Oh man!" said Henry after a few minutes of picking in his bag.

"What is it kid?" Emma asked from the living room, while Henry was in the kitchen doing is homework.

"My science book is not here, I probably forgot it at home." He replied. "I gotta get this paper done until tomorrow." Henry said with a pleading tone when Emma turned to give him an annoyed look. God, she just came back like an hour ago, completely exhausted and all she wanted was to watch some crappy TV and fall asleep on the couch.

"Fine, I'll go get it." She got up and grabbed the keys to her bug. It was chilly outside so she put her red leather jacket on and left the apartment. She drove in the deserted streets of Storybrooke for a few minutes until she reached the white mansion.

For a minute she worried Regina might not be home but as she approached the porch she heard noises from inside. She knocked on the door and waited for a few good seconds before repeating her action once again. She could hear the clicking sounds of the Mayor's signature heels against the marble floor. The door opened and Regina was standing in front of her.

Something was off, Emma thought to herself trying to put her finger on what was the different in the brunette she knew so well. She was dressed impeccably as usual with a white buttoned up shirt, a royal blue shirt and her famous black heels. Her hair set perfectly around her face, her lips were dark red. It all seemed normal.

Then it hit her. It was the eyes.

Regina was such a calculated person, nothing left her mouth before she thought about it at least a few times and certainly not what she really thought. But her eyes said everything her lips weren't saying, emotions always filled her eyes and Emma knew to look there every time she wanted an honest reaction from her. Usually it was filled with boredom, disgust or disappointment, sometimes with fuzzier feeling such love, when she was around Henry.

But today they were blank, absolutely no expression what's or ever. And they sparkled a bit. NO! Emma said to herself, completely surprised. She is drunk, Regina aka Mayor Mills aka The Evil queen aka the most uptight-in-control person she's ever met is drunk. That's gotta be serious.

After what seemed like forever Regina got impatient. "Yes Miss Swan, can I help you?" As soon as she's opened her mouth Emma smelled the alcohol. The blond stretched her head over the figure in front of her and detected an almost empty bottle of tequila. "Wha, you finished it all by yourself? What happened?" damn that's a lot of booze Emma thought to herself, how is she still walking in those heels?

"Well it's none of your business."

"Well I think it is, since you're the other mother of my child and" she hesitated for a while and then went for it "a person I care about. So please"

Regina sighed and opened the door; Emma walked in and followed the brunette to the kitchen. "It's Robin" she said while ducking and pulling out another bottle of alcohol, this time it was whisky. "We're over."

Emma didn't see this one coming. "I'm so sorry, what happened?"

"Can we just not talk about it?"

"Sure, but you drank enough" she said and pulled the bottle out of Regina's hands "instead I'm gonna teach you how to get over a man" Emma opened the fridge and took out a chocolate chip ice cream. That will do.

Regina stared at Emma for a long minute and pulled up a small genuine smile.

"Thank you"

"Sure, that's what friends are for." Emma said, not overthinking about the consequences. "Just give me a sec" she pulled out her cell and texted to Mary Margaret.

Got a little situation out here. Tell Henry to leave his homework. Don't wait up.

Emma took out two spoons and went to the living room. She turned on the TV and found a cheesy looking movie, which wasn't that surprising considering the late hour. Regina stood on the corner of the room with a confused look but after a few seconds she walked towards the couch, descending a few inches as she takes down her heels, and set beside Emma.

Emma took her phone out to see a thumb up massage from Mary Margaret. She put to her side and stared at the TV when Regina genteelly placed her head on Emma's shoulder. Emma smiled to herself as she stuck her spoon in the ice cream and took the bite to her mouth.
