Short chapter. Basically introduces what the story is about. Here Cora is alive but not crazy, she's a heart surgeon. She simply wants her daughter to be with someone of their social class Leopold exists but isn't the asshole who married a young girl against her will. I've decided to make him a cocky little prick with money instead. So enjoy and tell me what you think.

I.

The rays of the sun hit her tanned skin and made it glow. Here peaceful and asleep she was the most beautiful creature that Emma Swan had ever seen. Her head faced down in the pillow, her lips slightly parted, and the sheets a mess tangled between her legs. Emma smiled and placed a small kiss on the brunette's forehead.

She got out of the bed quietly, as to not disturb the other woman, and gathered her clothes. Once she had finished dressing, she spared on final glance at Regina and then slipped out the window. The cold air of the morning hit her and she found herself involuntarily shivering. It was rather early and so she decided to head home to take a quick shower.

When she arrived at the small apartment she was sharing with her parents, she headed upstairs to the bathroom. She took her shower and got dressed. She checked her phone to see if she had any missed calls or messages. She had on text from Regina. She found herself grinning like an idiot as she read the text.

Last night was as amazing as all the other nights. I wish you could have stayed for breakfast. See you soon xoxo

Emma typed out a response.

I do have some amazing skills ;). I wish I could have too, but we both know why I couldn't. See you soon Madame Mayor, love you.

Immediately she got a response back.

Love you too.

Emma pocketed her phone just as Snow came into her bedroom with a soft smile.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" she asked.

Emma grinned "Nothing."

She checked her phone's time and saw that she still had an hour before she had to head down to the station.

"Well I'll see you later Snow, I'm gonna go grab some breakfast at Granny's and then head down to the station." Snow nodded and Emma left.

Once she arrived at the diner she headed to one of the stools and waited for Ruby to notice her. Ruby was finishing up with a customer and then headed over to Emma.

She grinned "Hey Em, how'd it go last night?"

Out of every citizen in Storybrooke, only Ruby knew about Emma and Regina's relationship. This was saying a lot considering that their relationship was forbidden, since Regina was going out with none other than Leopold, that snobby little prick that thought he was better than everyone else just because he could buy himself in to anything and out of anything.

Emma found herself smirking "What do you think?"

Ruby laughed "That good huh? So do you want your usual?"

Emma nodded just as the bell to the diner jingled, signaling a new customer. Emma looked over at the door and none other than the mayor herself walked through. She was wearing her usual black pencil skirt, with a navy blue button up top that showed enough cleavage, and her black heel pumps. Emma licked her lips unconsciously; the action wasn't lost by the mayor who simply smirked as she passed Emma and sat down in a booth.

"Close your mouth Emma, you're drooling" Ruby said as she headed over to take Regina's order.

Emma whipped out her phone and sent a quick text to Regina.

You look absolutely delicious Madame Mayor. Too bad we're in a public place or else I'd take you right here and now.

She got a response immediately.

Is that so Miss Swan?

Emma wrote out a response immediately.

I love it when you call me Miss Swan ;)

Across the room she could see Regina chuckle to herself and Emma smiled.

Calm down, dear.

When Ruby came back with her order of pancakes, eggs, and bacon; she scarfed it down quickly. She paid Ruby, thanked her and headed out. She waited in the alleyway next to the diner, and when she saw Regina pass by she grabbed her hand pulled her into her and kissed her passionately.

Regina stiffened for a second before realizing who it was and then molded her lips with Emma. Emma swiped her tongue out and Regina granted her access. The two stood there making out until oxygen became a necessity. They pulled apart and Emma grinned widely.

"You don't know how much I wanted to do that."

Regina smiled and pecked Emma on the lips "I love you."

Emma smiled mischievously "More than Leopold?"

"I only love you Emma. Leopold is simply someone that keeps mother happy" Regina answered firmly.

"I know." Emma smiled and pecked Regina again.

"I have to go Miss Swan, this town won't run itself" Regina said and Emma nodded.

"See you later Madame Mayor."

The two parted ways and Emma, with a skip in her step and a smile firmly plastered on her face, headed off to the station.
