Emma waited anxiously for Regina to pick up the phone, but as Emma suspected it went to her voicemail. Her wife was always busy with work and even if she wasn't, it was guaranteed that she would answer the woman's calls.

-BEEP-"Hi, you've reached Regina Swan-Mills; I can't take your call at the moment so leave a message and have a wonderful day."-BEEP-

"H-hi, h-hello, it's me your wife…um…at least legally still your wife as recognized by the state of New York...I...uh…wanted to call to say hi as we are reaching the 3 month mark of us being separated and I thought that maybe…I don't know, it might be nice to get together as you know things like this only come around once in a lifetime. Oh… I saw the cover of New York Real estate and there you are Gina, beautiful as the day I met you, everywhere I go I see you; you are on every bus, news stand and taxi in this city. It's….um… really awesome how far you've come and how you climbed the ladder of success….I'm really proud of you Gina; It's amazing how you built your business into the premier real estate firm in New York. And I'm referencing the magazine here, of which I have five copies that way if….when we get back t-together you lose yours were covered."

-BEEP-"Hi, you've reached Regina Swan-Mills; I can't take your call at the moment so leave a message and have a wonderful day."-BEEP-

"…Anyway…look the p-point is that… the point is that I really messed up… I really miss you; it's killing me to know that I hurt you. It will haunt me for the rest of my days and I will always regret putting you through that but I would really like it if… you could maybe call me…. or if we could see each other… I hope you're getting the gifts and they aren't all total disasters… I know that the ice sculpture of a swan was a big mistake but to be fair I did tell them not to leave it if you weren't there. I will be filing a complaint….talking of which I have to get back to work; the NYPD is really slammed right now, it's hard being chief… well I just want to say I'm sorry and I lo-" –BEEP-

Emma decided to end her call there after all, she had said enough hopefully she didn't put her foot in her mouth too many times.

Across town in a luxurious apartment

"It has 6 bedrooms and 2 washrooms; it is located in a wonderful neighborhood, lots of great neighbors. It is the picture perfect representation of luxury and grace, simply put it is perfect for you and your husband" Regina stated regally while she flashed them a toothy grin.

Her clients then went on to discuss between themselves in French about the listing, Regina while not trying to eavesdrop heard mention of a baby which caused her to grin.

"You're Pregnant!" she said enthusiastically, "That's wonderful, if you're planning to have a baby then this apartment is definitely the most magical place!"

"How many children do you have?" the wife asked.

"Oh. Oh…well let me see… I have um zero" she stated with a small firm smile. "My wife and I are separated, and know what you're thinking the clock is ticking but I was actually thinking of just maybe adopting on my own…um…but you got to stay optimistic right? Don't get down on yourself, look on the Brightside…" she said flashing a political smile.

Back at the Precinct

Emma decided to take a break from her paperwork to check in on her Secretary Mary-Margaret's progress. She promptly exited her office and went to her desk located right outside Emma's door.

"So, where are we on the star front MM?" she asked

The small pixie-haired woman was a little startled by the sudden appearance from her boss, but still went to rummage through her phone to find what Emma was asking for.

"Um…well you can buy and name a star Regina, it's only about 25 dollars and you get a certificate and everything." The secretary said pleased with her work.

"Well, that's great, but I kind of want something more impressive…oooh…Can I buy a constellation?" her boss asked excitedly.

"I don't know" Mary-Margaret said slightly defeated but none the less continued to search her phone. "Um... Well you can buy a black hole!" The girl said with hope filling her forest green eyes.

"I…Um I don't think that really sends the right message at this point in the relationship…I think she would just be more angry if I did that…But um thanks for trying" With that her boss retreated from her desk and back into her office.

Later that night at Regina's charity event

Regina stood confidently at the podium while she gave her speech. She thanked everyone for coming to her gala and went to talk about the cause she was fighting for.

"…Are we going to use this crisis to come out better than ever before? You bet we are!" Regina said happily as she paused for applauses.

She went through her speech with until she caught the sight of a familiar blonde mane and piercing green eyes that she would recognize anywhere. Thoughts started to overflow her head;why was she here. Couldn't she take a hint? I don't want to see her, but….she looks so good…NO! Regina, snap out of it, you're mad at her you can't forgive her. This caused her to start to mess up her well prepared speech.

"But! But what that means…" she was momentarily stunned when she made eye contact with the woman who broke her heart. "Um…Um sorry" she laughed nervously to try and ease the tension that was starting to build in the room. "Well, I…what I'm basically trying to say is um… we want your money right now!" she said with a political smile she plastered on to hide the emotions that started to bubble under the surface. She was relieved to hear the audience laugh and applaud, with she left the podium.

The night ended not long after that.
