It was a rare day in Storybrooke when the weather was warm enough to go swimming which is exactly what a decent number of the residents decided to do Regina and Robin decided to take Roland to the public pool for his first swim and Regina knew that Emma would be bringing Henry and because Mary Margaret (or Snow as most had started to call her again) was bed ridden with a sprained ankle Emma would also be bringing her baby brother Neal to get him used to the water for when he grows up after Emma started controlling her powers instead of them controlling her and making her afraid she had warmed up considerably to her brother and she wouldn't have it any other way. When Regina, Robin and Roland entered the pool area Emma waved them over to the paddle pool where she was with Neal and he was loving the water, and as it turned out Roland was loving the water too.

Regina and Emma were talking pretty much non stop as if they were always friends instead of enemies turned friends and Robin was getting quite annoyed with this budding friendship between the two women.

"Regina can I talk to you privately?"

"Certainly Robin. Emma could you keep an eye on Roland for us?"

Emma nodded her head as Regina and Robin got out of the pool to talk.

While Regina and Robin were occupied Roland was hanging around Emma and talking to her but Emma was watching the conversation between the two adults and could tell that it was heating up between them and that it was going to spell trouble, so she took both Roland and Neal out of the pool and went over to Henry who was doing laps.

"Henry could you do me a favour?"

"Sure mom what is it?"

"Could you watch Neal and Roland for me kid?"

"No problem."

"Thanks."

With Henry keeping an eye on the two little boys Emma went over to break up the conversation turned argument, when she got within earshot of the couple she could hear what Robin was saying.

"Regina how can you be so friendly with that woman? She's the daughter of the one who betrayed you all those years ago and how could you ask that slut to watch Roland?"

Emma was about to interrupt but stopped by Regina's reply.

"How dare you Robin? Emma is no slut and she is more than capable to look after two children she is more of a parent than you are which is amazing considering she grew up without hers which was my fault so if anyone has a right to be mad at me it's her not you. I think we should break up."

"What about Roland? You're the only mother he knows."

"I'll still be there for Roland if he needs me but you and I are no more. Goodbye Robin."

Robin angry that Regina chose her friendship with Emma over her relationship with him just stormed out of the Aquatic centre leaving Roland there.

Emma could tell that Regina needed her so she went over to the heart broken ex-evil queen.

"Regina? Are you okay?"

"Emma what have I done? I ruined my last chance at happiness."

"No you didn't Robin did, he is obviously possessive of you and doesn't want you to have a life away from him so he used his son as a ploy to try and get you to change your mind."

Regina turned around and walked into Emma's open arms and was wrapped in a warm comforting hug. Suddenly realisation hit Regina and she pulled back from the hug.

"Emma if Robin wants me back he's going to do whatever he can to make sure that no one stands in his way, he got rid of Marion I'm worried that he may come after the ones I care about next."

"Don't worry Regina I'll make sure that Henry has someone on him at all times and he wouldn't hurt his son especially considering he'll keep dangling him in front of you to try and win you back just so he can get you back under his thumb."

"I know Roland will be safe I was referring to Henry and you."

"Like I said I'll make sure Henry is guarded at all times."

"And who will guard you? Emma you may be the saviour but even you need protecting."

Emma smiles warmly at Regina's concern for her safety.

Days passed and Regina was growing increasingly worried about what Robin might do if he got his hands on Henry or Emma especially Emma considering she knew that Henry was well protected with not just a guard but also multiple protection spells but Emma had refused insisting she could take care of herself.

Robin was pacing his room and writing down different plans to bring Regina back to him and they all centred around one person
