See this whole thing is going to be fluff unlike my other one.
I don't own Once you know what would happen if I did, and you have to admit it would be awesome.
She was regretting this already. She had stupidly decided not to listen to Miss Swan when she told her not to wear her heels. How was she suppose to know it would such a long walk to the camping site? Henry didn't seem to mind , in fact he had his hand in Emma's and they were skipping in the muddy muck. She couldn't see what was so great about it, especially with all of the mosquitoes buzzing in her ear. Plus Emma Swan was singing Princess Pat, except that she was changing the words.
"A rigabambo, now what is that? its something made by the Princess Emma, its red and gold and .." Regina had about enough.
"Miss Swan, if you are going to sing the song, sing the actual song, please don't substitute your own name in. It's very vain." Emma nearly choked she laughed so hard. Henry stopped skipping and looked up at Emma adoringly.
"I like it Mom, you are the savior after all." Emma smirked at Regina before continuing.
"Now Captain Hook, had a mighty fine crew, but not as good as me and you" Emma poked Henry in the nose. Regina rolled her eyes.
"It doesn't even rhyme."
"So, its just a camping song." Emma shrugged. "Alright fine, what should we sing then?"
"How about silence." Regina stated sternly taking a step towards Emma.
"No." Emma placed her hands on her hips and took a step towards Regina as well.
"Fine." Regina walked past her. "Why don't we talk about how each of our weeks went?" Emma huffed, disappointed.
"I finished my art project for school." Henry said happily. Regina smiled at him sweetly, and Emma felt her insides melt a little bit. "I made a diagram of Fairy Tale land." Regina raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Oh yeah, how did my castle turn out?" Emma tried to hold in a laugh.
"Oh lovely." Emma said snickering a little bit. Regina noticed.
"He didn't include it did he?"
"Oh he included it." Emma laughed. "He just burned it."
"You burned it?" Henry could tell she wasn't really mad, she smiled at the end of her question, but she was scary when her face was in front of your face, he wondered why Emma purposefully got this close to her. Then she leaned in and tickled him under his arm pits. "That's what you get for messing with the queen." Henry laughed as his mom glared at him playfully. Emma was impressed she knew Regina wouldn't be mad at Henry for very long, but she figured she would be a little mad at him. It seemed like the evil was disappearing from the queen more and more everyday. It was like she didn't care about that part of her life anymore, being feared. Emma couldn't help the rise in her chest as she thought about how nice it was to just have Regina around, and not the Queen.
They continued walking for a bit longer, but Regina was falling more and more behind. When Emma turned around again, Regina was no where to be found. They were at the campsite so she told Henry to wait there with their things, hoping that Regina wasn't very far behind. She wasn't. Just around the bend was Regina, both heels stuck in the mud. Emma would have laughed, but she saw the pathetic angry pout on Regina's face, and her heart did something she didn't expect. It fluttered against her chest, like the wings of a humming bird. She simply stared for a moment unable to process what had just happened to her.
"Are you going to help me or are you just going to stand there Miss Swan?" Emma nodded and quickly leaped over to where Regina was, and pulled her out. "I don't think I can walk the rest of the way in these heels. Emma followed Regina's gaze to the path ahead, there was a lot of mud, and she was right. Emma would just have to keep rescuing her if they did that.
"Well you are just going to have to go barefoot." Regina stared at Emma, waiting for the laughter, but there was non.
"You are kidding me!"
"Nope." Regina angrily took her shoes off, and the pair started walking to the camp site. Emma was having trouble getting over how short Regina was without her heels. She was so tiny, and adorable. What? Adorable? The evil queen adorable? Never. Except that she did find her adorable, incredibly adorable.
