Chapter One

It's been just over two years since Emma left the town of StoryBrooke and all its residents behind. Driving over the town line, she stopped just shy of the welcome to StoryBrooke sign. She turned off the engine, climbed out of her little yellow bug and breathed in the fresh air. Was she doing the right thing, she left for a reason and of course she missed her family but with Henry at college and her marriage to Hook going down in flames, there wasn't much left for her in the sleepy little town she had called home for almost 8 years. StoryBrooke was the place she had lived the longest, of course the reason she stuck around had nothing to do with the town itself. It was too small, too quiet, everyone knew everyone's business and when there wasn't a villain to defeat it was downright boring. After they had defeated the black fairy, the town went back to being just a town. She settled into married life rather quickly but soon realised that having no distractions meant she needed to have a proper conversation with her new husband and as it turned out he was rather dull. Just under six months went by when her and Hook decided to call it quits. Hook wasn't sure when wrong but he took it like a man, he packed up his stuff and moved out of her house. Not long after Emma left, her mother told her that Hook had also left. He packed up, boarded the Jolly Roger and sailed away. Emma looked at her car, looked at the town line and then back to her car.

"It's not like anybody knows I'm here, I could just turn around and leave" she sighed.

She was only visiting for a few days, a week at most. It was Neal's birthday and he demanded that his big sister was there, after all she missed the last two. Emma started to feel sick, she knew the reason but like always she pushed it to the back of her mind. She climbed back into her car, put the engine on and placed her hands on the steering wheel.

"It's now or never."

She continued the drive into the town and as she suspected, nothing had changed. Archie was chasing Pongo up and down the streets, followed by her father. Ruby and Belle were pushing their three-year-old daughter into Granny's, Snow and Ashley were also headed into Granny's. Emma slowed her car and just admired the town, there was nothing like coming home, Emma always liked the familiarity of StoryBrooke. She drove past the town hall just as Regina was parking her car, she stepped out of her car and strutted towards the door of the town hall. Emma tried to look away but she couldn't, Regina was wearing a tight black skirt, purple blouse and purple shoes. Emma could see that she had taken her advice and grown her hair out. Emma glanced back over to Regina just for a couple of seconds, it was a couple of seconds too long.

BANG!

Everything went black, after a minute or two Emma opened her eyes, she could feel a sticky liquid dripping down her head and there was a ringing in her ear. She looked around and could see she had hit a tree.

"For fuck sake Swan."

She traced her fingers along the cut on her head, she realised it was probably a deep cut if the amount of blood on her fingertips was anything to go by. She started to feel woozy, she closed her eyes and woke up a few minutes later.

"Emma, what the hell happened?" Regina shouted.

"Can you lower your voice, I have a headache."

"Miss Swan, you've been back in my town for less than five minutes and you're already destroying it. Don't you think it's about time you got a more reliable vehicle."

"I'm fine, thanks for asking. It wasn't the cars fault, I wasn't paying attention."

Regina placed her hand on the door handle, pulled the door open and helped Emma out of the car. She didn't expect the first time she would see Emma again, would be quite like this.

"Emma, your head looks really bad. Let me fix it, you probably don't want to spend the next few hours down the hospital. I'm assuming your only staying a week at most, so you probably want to spend it with your family and not in A&E."

"More like 3 days, I've got to head back to work."

"Oh, right."

Regina tried to hide her disappointment but Emma could hear it in her voice.

"I think I might need to stay a little longer though, my car looks pretty beat up and might take a week or so to fix. But don't think I'm leaving without having some world-famous Regina Mills lasagne"

"I haven't made lasagne since the last time Henry visited and that was almost 5 months ago."

"Is he coming for Neal's party?"

"The last time I spoke to him was a few days ago and he said that he was coming home on Saturday for the summer holidays."

"How long is that?" she asked.

"He heads back in September so nearly 3 months, I think he's planning to come and stay with you for a month just before he goes back."

"That will be nice, it's pretty lonely in Boston. It must be nice that you've got Zelena and Robin to go back to every night."

"It was your decision to up and leave. If you're lonely then you've got nobody to blame but yourself. If you bothered to speak to me about anything other than Henry you would know that Zelena left over 8 months ago" Regina snapped.

She didn't mean to sound so horrible, but with both Henry, Emma and Zelena gone she was just as lonely as Emma, probably even more. She always had Henry to keep her company and when he left she had Zelena and Robin but with them both gone she didn't have anything. During the days, it was fine as she had work and spent time with the Charming's, it was at night when she really felt alone.

"Regina, you know why I had to leave. I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch and that I didn't know about Zelena, why did she leave?"

"No, actually I don't. Things got tough and you ran. You went back to your old Emma Swan ways and honestly did leaving really make you feel any better? Zelena took Robin to visit Roland and well, she fell in love with one of the Merry Men and decided not to come back. But what did I expect, everyone leaves."

Emma didn't want to get into all this right now, after all she had just crashed her car and her head was killing.

"Regina, can you please just heal my head please."

"Fine" Regina huffed.

"I'm sorry about Zelena, but at least she's happy right, that's got to count for something."

Regina placed her hands-on Emma's head, lightly ran her fingertips along the cut.

"You weren't even going that fast Em and you still managed to do some damage."

"How did you know I weren't going that fast, you had your back to me."

"Your father sent me a message letting me know you had finally plucked up the courage to crawl out from under that Boston rock and was back in town. Just as I parked the car I seen you drive passed me."

Emma wasn't sure why her dad had text Regina letting her know she was in town or why Regina even cared. The two months before she had left Regina hardly spoke to her and Emma wasn't sure why. While she was in Boston they had exchange a few texts a month but it was mainly about Henry and his schedule but nothing more.

Emma's head started to feel so much better, she placed her fingers on her head and there was no more cut.

"Thank you."

"It's not a problem, now I suggest you find someone to tow your car to the garage because it's making my town untidy."

"I will get that done right away, are you coming over for dinner tonight?"

"I'm going to give it a miss tonight, I've got a lot of work to do. Tell Snow I will see her tomorrow to finalise everything for Neal's party."

"I thought that you always had dinner at my parents on a Thursday night?"

"Yes, normally I do but tonight I'm busy."

"Regina, what the hell is your problem?"

"I have no idea what you're referring to. I've got a rather important meeting so I better go. I will see you at Neal's party."

Regina turned around and walked towards the town hall. She didn't mean to be so harsh but Emma had just turned up and was acting like nothing had happened. Emma wasn't sure what had just happened or why Regina was being so cold towards her but she knew now wasn't the time to start an argument. She had so much catching up to do and arguing with Regina was not how she wanted to spend the little time she was in town.
