All I knew this morning when I woke is I know something now, know something now I didn't before.
Emma woke up and took in her surrounds. She wasn't in her Boston apartment. That's when everything came screeching back to her.
Henry. Storybrooke. The wolf. Regina.
She couldn't stop thinking about the brunette. Her beautiful smile, her gorgeous eyes, it was all Emma could think about. She'd be lying if she hadn't thought of staying just to get to know the brunette.
And all I've seen since 18 hours ago is green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now.
Regina was stirring her morning coffee trying to focus on her newspaper. Henry had got on the bus about 20 minutes ago. Her mind kept wandering back to Henry's birth mother.
She DID NOT want her here.
That's what she told herself. She already had a hard time gaining Henry's affection; she didn't need Emma here messing with his heart. Yes, she was glad Emma Swan left town. But her mind couldn't help but wonder back to the blonde's beautiful green eyes locked with hers, and her bright smile beaming up at her. When she handed her a drink last night she was close enough to see that Emma had freckles on her nose and cheeks.
It was cute. Regina thought, but quickly shook the thought from her head.
Yes, she hated Emma on principle. That's what she told herself, though her heart sang a different tune.
Cause all I know is we said hello, and your eyes look like coming home. All I know is a simple name, everything has changed.
Regina. Emma thought from her bed in the jail cell. Such a beautiful name.
Emma couldn't help but think how Regina quickly gathered Henry into her arms in worried adoration. Must be nice to have someone love you like that, Emma thought, must be nice to have a home.
That's when Graham came in giving her some bullshit story about her drunk driving. She defended herself by saying there was a wolf, and her just answered her with laughter.
That's when Regina walked in, distraught over Henry's second disappearance. She also didn't seem too happy about Emma still being in town. The blonde just brushed it off and offered her services to help find Henry. Regina agreed and Graham left Emma from her cell.
All I know is you held the door. You'll be mine and I'll be yours. All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
As they exited the station Emma held the door open for Regina as a simple act of chivalry. Regina was taken aback by her act of kindness.
"Thank you Miss Swan." Regina said and walked ahead of her.
"You're welcome Madame Mayor." Emma returned and saw the small smile grace Regina's beautiful face. Damn, she's so beautiful. If she were mine, I would make her smile all the time. Emma thought and quickly brushed it off, reasoning that she just met this woman 8 hours ago.
And all my walls stood tall painted blue, but I'll take them down, take them down and open up the door for you.
As Emma followed Graham's car to Regina's house she couldn't stop thinking about Regina. Why was she being so abiding to this woman? Why did she want to help her and see her smile? Emma was a very guarded person, but for some reason she felt like Regina was conflicting with the walls she built up against her heart.
Why do I feel like this? Emma thought. I'm leaving as soon as we find Henry.
And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies the beautiful kind, making up for lost time, taking flight, making me feel like I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now.
They pulled up to the mansion and they all proceeded up the walk way.
"Your house is even more beautiful now that I see it in the daylight." Emma said and smiled at Regina. Regina was completely speechless when she saw the smile Emma directed at her. It took her breath away and gave her butterflies in her stomach.
Regina, stop it. These feelings are fleeting. Stop acting like a child. Her mother's voice rang through her head as she quickly steeled her expression.
"Thank you Miss Swan." She said and they entered the house.
They went through Henry's email and Emma came across the credit card receipt of the place that tracked her down. They quickly went to the school to talk to Henry's teacher.
Cause all I know is we said hello and your eyes look like coming home. All I know is a simple name, everything has changed. All I know is you held the door. You'll be mine and I'll be yours. All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
Emma held the door of the school open for Regina to enter and Regina huffed.
She needs to stop doing that. Damn butterflies.
They went into the classroom and talked to the school teacher. Emma thought she seemed like a lovely woman, but obviously Regina didn't feel the same. Her bad mood towards the teacher seemed to rub off onto Emma, as Regina left she angrily told Emma to have a safe trip back to Boston. Emma talked to the teacher, Mary Margaret, and she decided that she liked her. She told her to check Henry's castle and gave her the directions.
Emma found the young boy inside his castle. They argued about Regina's love for Henry. Despite everything, Emma definitely believed that Regina loved Henry. She dropped him back off at the Mayor's house.
Obviously the mayor was still in a bad mood from earlier. She threatened Emma and told her to leave town. Of course, Emma being the rebel she was, decided to take Henry up on his offer and stay for a week instead. It was partly because she wanted to get to know Henry, but mostly she wanted to see how this woman ticked. Emma Swan was deeply intrigued by Regina Mills.
All I know is we said hello. So dust off your highest hopes. All I know is pouring rain, and everything has changed. All I know is a new found grace. All my days, I'll know your face.
After her stressful day Regina went to her study and sat down with a glass of her apple cider.
Thank god she's gone. Regina thought, but she knew her head was betraying her heart. She was attracted to the blonde and wouldn't forget her any time soon. But love was fleeting in Regina's life and she didn't have time for a fling, if that's what the blonde wanted, her heart couldn't take it.
But those green eyes wouldn't stop haunting her even after she lay in her bed that night.
Dammit. Regina whispered to the darkness.
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed.
I'm really hoping to get chapter 2 up ASAP! Stay excellent!
