this story is the result of my feels from last night's episode. regina should have given snow and david a mouthful when they said that emma didnt have to run anything by her. :(


Emma sat in one of the small booths in Granny's diner with her parents. They were celebrating her return to Storybrooke after the successful search for Gold's son. Henry decided to stay home and catch up on his sleep. The bell on the door rang with the arrival of a new customer. Emma glanced up to see a brunette heading to their table.

"Are you Emma Swan?" She smiled sweetly.

Emma looked at her parents. "Um, yeah. How can I help you?"

"Actually, you can't. You've been served." The girl handed her an envelope and left the diner.

Snow and James stared at the paper. Emma slowly opened it and read through it.

"Well, what is it?" Snow asked anxiously.

"Regina is taking me to court to get a restraining order so I can't see Henry." Emma said incredulously.

"What? That's insane!" Snow shouted.

"Yeah, well there's no way in hell I'm gonna let her take Henry." Emma stood and ran down out the door. Her parents followed her to the car and she drove them to Regina's mansion. She quickly jumped out of the car and angrily knocked on the front door.

Regina answered quickly and looked at her visitors. "Miss Swan. I see you got my note."

"Damn right I did. You have no right to do this!" Emma held up the papers.

Regina stepped closer to her. "I have every right. You took him out of the state, even though you have no legal claim to him. You are lucky that I'm not charging you with kidnapping."

"She didn't kidnap him! Henry is her son." Charming defended.

"No, he is not. He stopped being her son the moment she signed the adoption papers. I have sole physical custody of him, which means she cannot take him anywhere without my permission. Now if you will excuse me, I have to get my house ready for Henry's return. I'll see you at the arraignment." Regina slammed the door shut.

She leaned against the door and listened to the Charming family walk away. Her mother walked into the room and smiled. "What was that, dear?"

"That was me getting my son back. Without magic." Regina smiled.
