Day 1
"Are you serious?!" Regina barked, "No I can't just come and magic him out! I have business to take care of LeRoy," she sighed as she listened to the tiny man explain, "That's enough, I will call the sheriff and have her deal with it," she said before slamming her phone down. The mayor rubbed her temples and sighed, there was a knock at the door causing her to sigh yet again, "Come in."
Emma Swan stepped through the door eating a bearclaw, "Sup Gina," she said with a nearly full mouth, she plopped down on the chair in front of Regina's desk and continued to chew.
"I was just about to call you," she said with a raised brow, "What brings you in?"
Emma shrugged, "Bored at work, what's up?" She asked once she swallowed.
"Well first of all, no matter how bored you are dear, I'd prefer you to stay at the station. What if someone calls in or needs help?" Regina questioned with a raised brow.
"They'll call the station and the station will call me," Emma shrugged.
"Hmm," Regina said, "Very well then. I need you to hurry down to the mines, Happy just got collapsed in."
The blonde groaned, "Again?"
"Yes, please handle this for me. Please? I have so much paperwork and I don't-"
"I'm on it babe," Emma winked as she stood up.
Regina rolled her eyes before squinting them, "Wait a minute, stop right there," she said causing the blonde freeze, she rose her brow, "What's wrong?"
"Huh? What? Nothing's wrong?" Emma panicked.
"Oh something is definitely wrong. Well for starters, you called me 'babe'. Secondly, you came to visit me before lunch because you were bored...you always find a childish way to entertain yourself, what makes today any different? Something's wrong," Regina stated.
"I'm fine, Killian and I just had a little fight-"
"About what? It had to be more than a 'little fight' or else you wouldn't be here. You're wracking your brain-"
"Regina I'm fine, just let me go save the dwarf and I'll come back," Emma said before poofing away.
Regina scoffed, "She stole my poofing away thing? The nerve of her."

"Well look who finally showed up," LeRoy scuffed, "My brother could be dead by now."
"Yeah but he's not," Emma said before cracking her knuckles, "Now, where exactly is he?"
"I'm over here," a scared Happy said, "I was told to stay calm."
"Good," she walked more towards the left and examined the fallen rocks, "Ok Happy stand back," she said before using her magic to turn the fallen rocks into ash and saving Happy.
"OH THANK YOU EMMA!" Happy hugged Emma tight with a big smile on his face.
The Savior nodded, "No big deal."
"I guess you've been practicing sister," LeRoy stated.
"Eh a little bit," Emma smiled a bit, "Alright, I think that's enough for today, let's all go up."
When the exited the mine nearly half the town were waiting for them, Emma sighed, she wasn't in the mood for this. Henry ran over to her, "Mom! You're saved him."
"It's my job kid," she smiled, "What's been up? Haven't seen you all day."
"I was patrolling with grandpa, we basically sat at the town line and ate onion rings all day," he chuckled.
"Yeah, well don't tell your mom that, she'll have your head for eating fried foods," she chuckled.
"I know," he nodded, "How are you guys?"
"What do you mean kid?" She asked with her eyebrows furrowed.
"You and mom, have you seen her today? Did you talk to her today? Do you...miss her by chance?" He asked with a hopeful smile.
Emma turned and looked at him, "What's going on?"
"Nothing, I just was curious," he shrugged.
"Hmm, curious? Well okay, I guess it's okay to be curious. Well for starters I just left her office and yes, I did miss her. I hadn't seen her in about two days," Emma sighed.
"Uh yeah I know because you've been Hook," he rolled his eyes, "Mom made lasagna and you missed it, you never miss lasagna night."
"I know and I'm sorry about that but Killian and I have been trying to...work some things out-"
"She's been really sad ma," he blurted out, "I think if you're around more she'll be happy."
Emma sighed, "Yeah I know. Robin's death hasn't been forgotten kid, I think about it everyday and if I knew how to help her I would but I just want to give her space."
"Why? No, she doesn't need space, she needs you. Ma can't you see that-"
Emma's phone rang causing her to groan, "Yes Killian?"
"Aye love, where are you? We need to talk-"
"I'm working-"
"Emma don't do this, don't avoid me. Please, come by, let's talk," he sighed.
"Fine, I'm coming over," she said before hanging up, "Hey kid, I have to go but it looks like your grandpa just got everything under control so stay with him until later-"
"But I'm suppose to be staying with you tonight-"
"And you will, I promise but for right now, stay here and help Grandpa," she said before poofing away.
David walked up behind Henry, "Was that just your mom?"
"Yup, she's being weird," he shrugged.
"Did you tell her yet?" David asked.
"No, I almost did though. I need to plan something, will you help me?"
"Of course," David nodded.

"Why have you been avoiding this? Don't you think it's time we talk about it?"
"Killian we just talked about it yesterday-"
"But you left-"
"Because I don't want to talk about it anymore, Killian you want a kid. I have a son and I'm fine with just one. I don't want this!" Emma yelled as they stood on The Jolly Roger.
"What are saying? A baby?"
"No Killian," she ran her hand through her hair, "I don't want...this. Us."
"What? You're not even making sense, Swan. I love you, you love me. We've made sacrifices for each other and-"
"Stop please, I know what happened. I know I went to Hell for you and all but Killian, I don't want this. I'm sorry," she said.
He shook his head, "Wha—I don't even know what to say, Swan. Do you even love me?"
Emma looked down and put her hands in her pockets before looking up at him tearfully, "No."
"Aye...well there it is then. Should I even want to know why? Why you've dragged me along all this time?!" He fumed.
"I thought I needed you! I thought I loved you, I really did. I yearned for someone to be there for me and you were. Everyone that I've ever loved has left me, Killian. Don't you see that? I just wanted to be happy, I wanted something I've never had and I thought I found that with you," she let tears fall, "It wasn't you, it was never you. Everything I thought I saw in you, I had already had it. You're not the only person who has been by my side and I see that now."
"No...don't say it. Please don't tell me it's-"
"Regina has always been there for me, sacrifice after sacrifice. I didn't need to force something with you, she's been there all along. She doesn't make me feel like a 'blonde distraction'-"
"That's not fair-"
"It's very fair," she sighed, "The point I'm trying to make is that...this is done and I've been playing this game for too long. I've been making everybody else happy as always and pushing my feelings aside. I'm tired of it. If you would've never mentioned having a kid, I probably wouldn't have taken a step back and looked at my life. I'm not happy with this and I'm sorry but I am no one's distraction," she stated before poofing away.

Emma knocked on her parents door, her mother opened it quickly with a smile, "Hi."
"Hey," Emma breathed, "I came to get Henry."
"You don't...want to come in?" She asked suspiciously.
"No, it's fine," Emma shrugged.
"Oh no, I think you should," she smirked before grabbing Emma's arm and pulling her inside, "Look who finally showed up."
Emma froze when she saw Regina and Henry sitting on the couch, "Regina."
"You never came back to the office," she raised her brow.
"Yeah I know...Killian called."
"Of course he did," she rolled her eyes.
"Before we get into that, I need to say something," Henry rushed out.
"Wh-what's going on?" Emma asked.
"Ma, sit down, I need to talk to you both," Henry nodded.
"We'll just leave you all alone," Snow smiled before leaving the apartment with David.
Emma nodded before taking off her jacket, "What's up kid?" She asked as she tossed it on the closest chair before crossing her arms over her chest.
"You two," he nodded and stood up, "Mom, Ma, I love you but you're driving me crazy. Mom, I know you're sad and miss Robin and stuff but I also see how you look at ma," he smirked a bit, Regina looked at Emma before looking back at Henry, "I think she can fix your problem."
"My problem?" Regina raised her brow.
"Yes, you're so sad but when Ma's around, you're better...that's why you were super sad that she missed lasagna night and cried in your room."
"Henry!" Regina scoffed, "Privacy is essential."
"Yeah yeah, I know mom but I couldn't help it," he sighed and looked at Emma, "And you, you're a mess."
Regina snickered causing Emma to frown, "I'm not a mess."
"You are ma, you're distant and you look tired all the time," he stated, "So I've set this up so we could talk, starting with you two. You need to stop denying your feelings for each other."
Emma swallowed, "What?"
"Henry, I think you're looking into a dangerous territory-"
"It's only dangerous because you know who you want and Ma isn't ready yet," he shook his head.
Emma closed her eyes tight and breathed, "Regina?"
"Yes?"
"What is he talking about?" Emma asked.
Regina took a deep breath and stood up, "Sit down Emma."
Henry smiled to himself when he saw his mother sit down on the couch. The moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. His mother's were so in love and everyone saw, everyone knew it, everyone but them. After Robin's death, Regina questioned herself a lot on why things never could stay good in her life. She quickly realized that nothing would work unless it was with Emma. Every plan, every curse, every trip...worked because of Emma.
"I don't really know where to start dear," she licked her lips and looked at Emma, "I uh have a confession to make...I've been evaluating everything in my life...including you. I'm in love with you Emma, there's no way around it. I love how you make me feel safe, I love how you have this light within you, I love the way you care about everyone around you, I love your your smile, your eyes, and even your hideous red jacket that you refuse to get rid of. I love you, I'm in love with you…"
Silence. Henry looked back and forth between the two women. Neither of them moved, Emma was stiff as a wall and Regina had this worried look on her face. Regina was indeed worried, that she had ruined the friendship that she worked so hard for. Emma knew what she felt wasn't a mistake, she knew ending it with Killian wasn't a mistake, and she was damn sure that Regina confessing her love, wasn't a mistake. The brunette had finally grown tired of the silence and grabbed her purse, preparing to walk out. When her hand touched the doorknob, she heard it and it was perfect…
"I'm in love with you too."
