This story is set just as Cora tries to take Emma's heart. I wont be following the scripted show, however cora will return but this will be all swanqueen, with some help from henry and red. I hope you enjoy. Here we go!

"ahhhhh! Oh God!" Regina clutched her chest and fell to the ground, luckily there was a tree for her to lean against. Rumple and Henry both ran to her hide. She had never in her life experienced anything like it, one minute she was absorbing all of the dark magic she had just cast on the well and the next, she thought she was going to die.

"Mom! Whats wrong? Did it work? Can Emma and Mary Margaret come back now?" Henry had so much hope in his eyes but also sadness because of the pain his adoptive mother was in. Rumple just looked on in confusion as regina still clung to her chest as though she was shielding her heart, unable to answer for herself Mr Gold spoke up.

"Henry your mother seems to have been severley weakened by trying to stop the enchantment, maybe we shoudl give her a minute."

But before anything else could be said, both emma and mary margaret emerged from the well. Rumple took a step back just incase there were any unwanted guests about to emerge. While red embraced Snow in a passionate hug. Despite the fact that Emma was now being held tightly by Henry, she couldnt help hut look over at the defeated Mayor. the woman who was the source of everything wrong in her life made he feel relieved to know she was still alive.

As she approached the brunette, who was perched up againsnt a tree their short conversation was a blur, she remember telling her that Cora was a piece of work, but the two words that rang in here ears were

"Welcome back" Regina, who was clearly wounded interally, spoke with the the most sincerity that emma had ever seen, she just stared into those chocolate eyes and replied with a simple thank you.

They all left the woods together and despite wanting to talk to regina, emma didnt know how to approach her, not just yet anyway so she told Hnery to go walk with his mother. As she spoke, she rubbed her chest, which still slightly ached from Cora's violation and winced slightly. Henry noticed and immediately spoke up.

"Emma, whats wrong?"

"Its nothing kid, you go walk with your mom, make sure shes ok."

"Emma please, i'm 10, i'm not an idiot. you know i'll find out eventually, I always do." He wore this childish grin on his face and emma couldnt help but grin, knowing he was right.

"Ok, but the second I tell you, you have to promise to keep all questions until later and go keep your mom company?" She raised an eyebrow and Henry simply nodded.

"Just before mary marg -" She was quickly interupted

"You mean grandma?" He said matter of factly.

"Yeh, whatever, just before your grandmother and I came through the portal we were fighting your moms mom" she started to confuse herself but Henry seemed to be keeping up so she carried on.

"and well, she tried to rip my heart out, but she couldnt, she pulled and pulled but it wouldn't, so I told her that love wasnt weakness, it was strength, then there was this bright light and she was gone. So we jumped through the portal and well here we are." She looked down at him and he had this look on his face as though he was connecting a dot to dot.

"Henry?"She asked as she nudged his shoulder.

"What? yeh ok i get it, no questions, i'll see you when we get to grannys."

God that kid really can be weird sometimes, but at least if hes around regina that will made her happy. As she walked it struck her that from locking eyes with the Mayor, all she wanted to do was make sure she was ok, but she shrugged it off and continued walking ahead as Henry fell back to Regina.

He laced his fingers with his mothers and they walked hand in hand. This gesture may have been nothing to Henry but it meant everything to Regina. After only afew seconds of silence he spoke up.

"Hey mom? Does your chest still hurt?" He looked up at regina who used her free hand to stroke her heart before replying.

"Nope, it feels fine, better than fine actually my dear." She said with a smile, still unsure of where the initial pain came from.

As she thought about the cause of her strange heartache Henry was working on his own theory, in his head he did the math ...

'soooo' he thought 'mom felt like her heart was being ripped out, while emma's heart was actually trying to be ripped out? Why would mom feel emma's pain? She looked like she going to die? What could it be?' His brain was working overtime when it hit him.
He stopped in his track, releasing his mothers hand before shouting two simple words

"True Love!"

Regina snapped her whole body around to face her son, while Emma came running back after hearing Henry shout.

"What the hell?" Emma proclaimed/

"My sentiments exactly." regina nodded.

Henry simply smiled at his mothers, how had he not seem this before, operation cobra was a sucess, now he had a new project and he would call it ... operation swanqueen! Before his new cover could be blown he simply ran ahead of the two unsuspecting women and shouted

"Come on moms, everyone will be waiting for us."

A small smile crept on both womens faces, regina because Henry still regared her as his mother and Emma because he called her 'mom' neither women took notice of how he called for them together, like a child calling for his parents, because thats what they were, his parents and now ... it was going to be henry's mission to make them all one big happy family ...

A/N I have been thinking about writing for these two characters for a while and this story just came to me. I hope you all like and review, because i'm going to post as much as i can and i'd love to hear what you all have to say. Also any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks y'all!
