Disclamier: I do not own Ouat

Emma glanced over her steaming cup of coffee at the door of granny's diner. It was five minutes before ten in the morning and for once Emma was actually on time.

The clocked continued to tick, as Emma tapped her foot. Regina, Henry, and Emma had a habit of eating breakfast at ten every sunday ever since Emma had declared herself to be apart of Operation Mongoose.

Emma remembered the moment she said two simple words, "I'm in," which had made Regina's beaming smile to light up the room. Regina's reaction made Emma even more determined to find Regina's happy ending.

However, so far it had been a couple of months and Emma or Regina had not found a single clue to who the author was. Mostly because they had been casually avoiding the topic and enjoying there time with Henry.

Emma almost jumped out of her seat when the bell on the door announced Regina and Henry's arrival. Emma scanned her eyes down Regina's body which was beautifully encased in a purple dress and black stilettos.

Henry followed along after Regina entered and once Regina's eyes met Emma's own they walked toward the booth she was sitting in.

"Early for once I see," remarked Regina with a slight smile on her face.

And all the sudden all Emma could focus on was the endearing look of satisfaction spreading across Regina's face and into her expressive eyes. That is until Henry said, "Hey, Ma," snapping her out of her Regina induced haze.

Emma quickly turned away from Regina and replied, "Hey, kid," before turning back and acknowledging Regina.

They settled into comfortable silence until Emma said suddenly, "I hope you don't mind I just ordered our usual, it should be out soon, unless you wanted to trying something else, I mean I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I guess, ummm...

"Emma it's perfectly fine, dear," Regina said while setting her arm on Emma's upper arm.

Emma blushed once she felt Regina trying to reassure her. What is wrong with me thought Emma to herself, first rambling, now blushing, and then all of the sudden it clicked in Emma's mind holy crap I like Regina Mills.

Emma was not proud of what she did next. She loudly stated she had to go to the bathroom before almost bolting out of her seat, and once she closed the bathroom door she panicked.

"Oh shit, oh shit," Emma repeated to herself, while pacing back and forth. Would her crush ruin her friendship with Regina? How could someone as perfect as Regina ever fall for her.

Romantic attraction almost never happened to Emma and she was terrible at differentiating if she liked someone, but with Regina it was like she suddenly she just knew every moment they had ever spent together meant something to her. The only other time she had romantic feelings for someone was with Neal. And even then she had never felt sexual attraction.

And then all the sudden Emma felt like the world was spinning. Did she really just compare her first love to her crush on Regina I mean she did not love Regina it was to soon, right?

Emma was so lost in thought she almost did not hear Regina saying, "Emma are you alright?" through the locked door.

And that is when Emma started looking around the bathroom for an escape route. Before realizing climbing out the window might not be the way to convince Regina that she was fine.

Emma tried to regain her voice and said,"yeah, I'm fine," quickly in a high pitched voice.

"Emma, if you don't open this door right now,"I'm coming in," Regina stated.

And then suddenly a purple cloud appeared and Emma put her hands over her face and sat down trying to calm down, how did she forget about magic.

Hesitantly Regina approached and quietly said,"Emma are you alright?"

Emma breathing grew heavier and tried to stand up and shake it off, but could only make it to a half crouched position before she felt like she could not breath and sat back down.

Regina continued approaching slowly and said,"Emma, it's okay just focus on my voice."

Little did Regina know that is what Emma was trying not to focus on. But eventually Emma took her hands away from her face and looked away from Regina, that is until finally she caved and looked into Regina's eyes.

They had the most sincere expression of concern and love that Emma almost began to cry. She had only scene that expression a few times in her life and it was overwhelming.

Emma slowly stood up successfully, while still continuing to ground herself by looking into Regina's eyes, regained her breath and said, "I'm sorry."

"Emma there's no reason to be."

Regina continued to look worried, as she carefully shifted a couple feet closer to Emma and slowly reached out, wrapping her arms around Emma in a hug.

Emma was shocked, but eventually she wrapped her own arms around Regina, losing herself in the embrace, in Regina.
