The story starts out when Regina saves Snow and Emma from the well on the way back from FTL.

Just after Regina used every ounce of magic she has to reopen the portal in the well. Regina saw Emma climbing up through the well, and using the last of her strength, reaches down to grab her hand. While pulling Emma up, she losses her balance and Emma falls on top of her.

"Mom" Henry runs over to both his moms. Emma started to rise up off Regina before the brunette made some snide remark about Emma's weight upon her.

"What no bitchy comment of me topping you, ha?" Emma looked down to notice Regina not moving.

"Regina, Regina?"

"Mom? Emma what's wrong with her?" Henry came to his mother's side. Emma tapped on Regina's face to try to get her to wake up.

"Regina, Regina, come on wake up." She tried to feel for a pulse, not feeling one Emma started to panic. She looked up at Snow, Henry, and Rumple that was also there. "I don't feel a pulse" she said.

"You gotta do something Emma. Now, please you can't let my mom die."

Emma not really knowing how to do CPR but she had to try. She bent down to try to breathe into Regina's mouth, but as soon as her lips touched Regina's she felt a warm sensation travel through her body and Emma froze. She stayed there for a moment too long, then she remembered that she supposed to be trying to save Regina's life. She went to breathe for Regina again right before she went to breathe for Regina she gasped awake, and pushed Emma off of her.

"Miss Swan, what do you think you are doing?"

"Gee, don't thank me for saving your life or anything" Emma said once she saw Regina was back to her old self.

Regina scoffed, "You saving my life, why do you think I was in such a state, I do believe I'm the one that made sure you were able to come back through that well."

"Well if you hadn't put a curse up to keep us from coming back you wouldn't have had to do that." Snow took this time to speak up.

As Regina was rising to her feet, she started walking towards Mary Margaret giving her a look that could kill. And that is exactly what Regina was planning to do.

Henry yelled, "Stop! Just stop! I just want to be happy for two minutes before you all start ripping each other's heads off again. You saved each other's lives," he looked from one mom to the next. He walked up to Regina and gave her a side hug, which brought a smile to Regina face, and warmed her heart.

"I did it for you Henry." she stated.

"I know, thank you."

Henry walked over to his blonde mother to hug and thank her as well.

"Well I hate to break up this family reunion dearies, but I am going back to my shop, hopefully none of you will be bothering me anytime soon." Rumple stated as he walked away.

Regina looked with envy as Henry still was holding on tight to Emma, longing for a time when he hugged her like that again. Now that he knew she was the Evil Queen though, she knew that may not ever happen. She promised him that she wouldn't use magic, to try to earn back his love and trust; she intended to keep that promise no matter how hard it would be.

"Henry why don't you go with Miss Swan and Miss Blanchard, I know how much you missed them when they were gone" Regina said

"Yeah, I can't wait to hear about your time in the Enchanted Forrest." Henry looked to Emma. Emma smiled and ruffled Henry's hair.

"Sure kid, why don't you go give your mom a hug" Emma said, all three looking at her strangely. "What, you just saved Mary Mar…er…Snow's and I's life, you deserve a hug, and I'm sure as hell not going to give it to you"

"Thank God for that, Miss Swan" Regina scoffed back as she knelt down to give Henry a hug.

"Be good for Miss Swan, I love you." with that she stood and thought about just transporting herself back home, but she made a promise to Henry to try to stop using magic. So she started walking back towards the road.

Henry smiled, "So how was your trip, did you see the castle, did you see anything cool, I bet it was awesome, so tell me how it went!"

"Easy kid, first things first I need a granny's burger and fries!" Emma ruffled his head.

SQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQSQ SQSQSQSQSQSQS

David, Mary Margaret, Emma, and Henry were at the diner and seemed to be the talk of the town. It looked like everyone in town was in Granny's diner. Emma just wanted to be left alone after devouring her burger; she needed to get out of there. She grabbed her red jacket and started to stand up.

"Where are you going?" Snow asked

"Um, I'm going to head to the station, you know, I'm sure there is a ton of paperwork that I have to do." Emma lied

"But you hate paperwork" Henry supplied

"Yeah, but I still have to do it, kid. Why don't you stay with Mary Margaret and David? Get to know your grandparents a little better. I'll see you guys at home later."

"Great!" he said smiling; all of them knowing that he would bombard the newly known grandparents with questions as soon as she left.

Emma walked out of the diner, knowing full well she wasn't going to the station. But where she was going she really didn't know. She just needed to get the hell out of there. So much had happened within a short amount of time since her 28th birthday. She met her son that she gave up 10 years prior, his adoptive mother is an Evil Queen, and her parents are freaking Snow White and Prince Charming. Not to mention she just battled Ogres, fought a giant, met Captain Hook, and worst of all she met Regina's mother, whom had tried to rip her heart out. Emma looked up not really knowing where she walked, but she found herself in front of the Mayor's Mansion. What the hell? She thought. She let out a deep breath and made her way to the front door. Standing there not really knowing whether she wanted to actually knock or not. She hated Regina but it seemed she needed some consistency right now, and sparing words with the other woman is something that has never faltered. While she was still contemplating she didn't realize that Regina was standing right behind her.

"How long are you going to stand there like an idiot Miss Swan?" Regina asked

Emma turned towards her, "Well I haven't really decided that I actually wanted to knock or not."

"Even if you're not sure, you should have known you're not welcome here, Miss Swan."

"Look, I just wanted to say thank you for saving our lives, I know that you did it for Henry, but nevertheless. And I just had to get away from everyone doting on me like I'm some kind of Savior. That's not me, I'm a bounty hunter, I'm not the daughter of a prince and princess, and I'm sure as hell not going to act like I know what I'm doing when it comes to raising a kid." Emma stopped unsure where the outburst came from. She certainly didn't mean to say all of that in front of Regina. She inwardly cringed wondering what the older woman would do with that piece of information. Because she knew that to Regina information was power.

Regina just looked at her not expecting the blonde to have said that, certainly not expecting to say what came out of her mouth next, "Well since you don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, you may as well come in for a drink. I imagine spending all the time in the Enchanted Forrest alone with that annoying mother of yours, you would need one."

Apparently Regina's statement shocked Emma just as much by the look on her face, as Regina was getting ready to retract her offer, Emma stammered out, "Sure, probably more than one though."

Regina went past her to unlock the door. Emma followed her into the foyer, taking her red leather jacket off and followed Regina into her study. Both wondering at the turn of events of the day. Regina definitely wasn't expecting to see the daughter of her biggest enemy at the front door, defying her birthright. She walked over to the liquor cabinet

"What would you like?"

"Whatever you're having, that would be great, thanks." Emma not saying what was obviously both on their minds, what the hell am I doing here and why the hell did Regina, the Evil Queen, let me in.

Regina handed her a drink and took the opposite couch, voicing her question. "Why in the hell did you come to my front door, you know I would kill you and your family if it wasn't for Henry, right?"

"I don't know, all I know is that I had to get out of that damn diner. I was suffocating in there, I went for a walk and I looked up, and I was in front of your house. So I thought I would check on you, since you practically died bringing us back through the well. Why did you do that?" Emma asked

"I told you, because of Henry." Both wondering if that was the real truth or just what they tell themselves. "However I did not expect it to drain me of my magic as badly as it did, it seems that magic here is more unpredictable that in our realm. Don't think that it's anything more than that Miss Swan."

They both sat in silence, Regina refilling their drinks a few more times. Emma just content not being the savior and putting a fake smile on while being bombarded by the entire town as they thanked her for breaking the curse. And Regina was thankful that no one at this particular moment was trying to kill her, and as much as she hated to admit to herself. She was glad that she wasn't alone with her own thoughts and devices. She suspected that Miss Swan felt the same, otherwise they both wouldn't be there.

Soon Emma's phone beeped, it was a text from Mary Margaret…Snow…Mom? Whatever, she ignored it, content on sitting here and getting drunk with another refill of scotch that warmed her stomach while she drank. Though soon another text from Snow came through

We went by the station and you weren't there. Where are you? You know Regina is still out there and very dangerous. Even if Henry says she is trying to be good, don't believe her she's evil.

Emma rolled her eyes, she was a fully grown woman with a child of her own, and she didn't need overbearing parents now. She sent a text back

Don't worry, I'm fine, just needing some time to myself.

"Let me guess, your mother is making sure that I didn't hunt you down and kill you?" Regina guessed.

"Something like that, though I probably should get going before I'm too drunk to walk" she stated as she tried to stand up and almost fell back down immediately.

At this Regina rolled her eyes,

"Clearly, you're already past that point Miss Swan. I guess I'm going to have to drive you home because if you don't return home I will have a lynch mob at my door." Regina huffed

"Thanks, but I'll be okay" she stated as she started walking towards the foyer, losing her balance and tumbling towards Regina and taking them both to the ground.

"Are you actually wanting to die, Miss Swan? That is the second time in one day that you have fallen on me!" Regina said as she was pushing her up. "I would be fine leaving you to find your way home, but if anything happened to you, we both know that the entire town would be trying to beat my door down. I will drive you home."

"You are just as drunk as I am, there is no way I'm letting you drive. I am the Sheriff, I'll arrest your ass." Emma slurred, at this Regina just perked her perfectly shaped eyebrow. Perfectly shaped eyebrow? I really am drunk. Emma thought.

"Like you're in any kind of condition to do so, but I wasn't planning on driving this way." With another wave of the hand purple smoke waved around Regina's head. "There, like I never had a drink."

"What? Why can't you do that to me?" Emma asked

"What? And miss the chance of hearing about your horrible hangover that you will have in the morning? Not a chance Miss Swan." Regina gave her a mischievous smile.

They made their way to the Mayor's Mercedes. Once they had started on their way Emma realized what was playing on the car stereo.

"Why Madam Mayor, I didn't realize you were a fan of AC/DC. You seemed too refined for such music." Emma turned the radio up, as soon as she did however, Regina reached over to turn it back down.

"Please, Miss Swan that is just what's on the radio." Regina said as they made their way through town.

"You're lying, my superpower just went off", Emma slurred out but didn't say anything more than that about it.

Regina stopped about a block away from Mary Margaret's apartment building. Emma knowing why Regina had stopped farther away, she wasn't in the mood to deal with Snow White if she saw The Evil Queen dropping her daughter off. Emma got out of the car but before she turned to Regina, "Thanks for the scotch, I needed that tonight"

"You're welcome Miss Swan, just know that this does not make us friends, I still despise you." Regina wanted to make her feelings for the blonde clear. Emma just smiled and then tried to make a siren noise like a police car.

"Wewowewoweo, there goes my superpower again. You like me just admit it."

"I will do no such thing Miss Swan, please get inside now. I take it you won't pass out before you make it to your apartment?"

"I'm fine, thanks" Emma said as she shut the door. She watched Regina's tail lights fade away before making her way into the apartment. Weird fucking day, and what was that when I tried to give Regina CPR? Emma thought as her head hit the pillow, but had fallen asleep before giving it anymore thought.
