Regina didn't know what upset her about Hook coming back. Emma had been feeling upset since he left and Regina had tried to help her to feel better. After the trip to the pub where Snow White, the one and only Mother to the saviour, got drunk and challenged a bunch of Vikings to darts. Regina had realised that she loved being surrounded by her family and friends.

Regina had spent most of her life trying to ruin Snow's, but realised now she didn't need to bother. Snow, no matter what would find the best in everything. Even after everything Regina had done to the family, they still wanted her around. If only she had realised this earlier it would have saved her a lot of heart ache. She some times she missed being the Evil Queen, but only usually because she missed the extravagant dresses and hair do's. In actual fact the reason she had acted out was because she never felt that Snow would accept her. She was angry at her, when Snow was a child, for ruining her chances with Daniel. Now she knew she just miss directed her anger for her Mother. Snow was doing what she thought would help Regina, it just turned out to be a terrible plan. Cora, her very own Mother, decided to deceive a young girl and break her own daughter's heart by ripping out poor Daniel's heart.

She was upset she never met her real Mother, the one with a heart and the ability to love, but she was glad that the woman who had restricted her, her entire life was gone.

She was beginning to realise that Emma turning up with Henry all those years ago had impacted her life more positively than anyone else had managed too.

She and Emma had been strong allies' then became even stronger friends.

This is why Regina was confused when her jealously spiked when she found out Emma was marrying Hook (a person who made the blond happy). She thought it was because of Robin. Even after she had brought him back from the dream world she didn't like Emma being with Hook.

She just wanted to find out why every time she saw Hook kiss Emma, she had to look away. She hadn't notice how much it bothered her when she was with Robin. He had distracted her. Now she was finding it hard to admit that she liked Emma. Emma was with Hook with meant that she would never be intrested in her, but some part of her was still fighting for Emma.

She collected her thoughts and her coat and went to Granny's.

Sat at a table was Emma and Henry they were laughing about sometime that Regina probably wouldn't understand, but it made her happy to see the two laughing together. They signalled her to sit down. She got into the booth next to Henry.

"Hey Mom, Emma was just telling me about a time she had been caught dumpster diving when she was living with a foster family" He said front to talk through his giggles.

"What's dumpster diving" she asked confused as to how someone dives in a dumpster. Did said person need equipment, was it another sport she had never heard of.

"Well the family I was living with kept giving me smaller portions than their own kids, so I took it upon myself to look through the trash and collect the bits their kids hadn't eaten. One night I was head first in the dumpster, that's when their Dad came out to take the rubbish out for collection the next day. In an attempt to hide ,I jumped into the bin. He struggled for a while to pull the rubbish out before he spotted me sat in garbage. He shouted me to get out and I did pulling a half eaten box of donuts with me. I never let a healthy donut down. So I jumped out and he grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me into the house to confront my foster Mom. Just so you know I was still holding the box. She shouted at me and I shouted at her. She told me I was going call the social worker, the next day, so preceded to stuff my face in front of her with the donuts. She was not happy, but I didn't care I just went upstairs and got my stuff and left" She said. The story didn't make Regina laugh. Every story she had heard about Emma's past made her feel guilty. In her attempt to keep the mood up, she gave a little giggle which was joined by Henry's. Emma was giving her a strange look.

The rest of lunch was fine. The small unconventional family talked and ate their food.

After they took Henry to his sword lesson with David, Emma and Regina were quite whilst walking together. After a while Emma decided to ask the former Evil queen why she hasn't liked her story.

"Regina I don't want us to argue or anything, but why where you so offended by my story" Emma asked. The Queen stopped where she was. Emma did the same.

"I wasn't offended by your story Emma. I was upset that because of me you grew up in places that didn't see how wonderful a person you are. I've never met anyone as dedicated to saving people as you are. It just upsets me that no one who had looked after you treated you like you should have been treated. Like a princess." Regina said after a while getting embarrassed that she was saying this to Emma. But she had sworn never to keep Emma or Henry out again.

Regina had walked away from Emma who was shocked still just behind her. The blond had never blamed Regina for what happened to her. She just wanted to see that everything Emma had been through bought them both to where they where now. It wasn't ever what Emma had seen her life going, but it had always passed her expectations. She had a family and people around her who loved her and wanted the best for her. Sometimes the pressure to live up to the image they had built around her was hard, but with Regina she had always been able to be herself. That was something that Emma loved about being with Regina, both of them saw each other for who they were, not for who they wanted the person to be. They could both just be themselves.

Regina noticed the blond had stopped. Mistaking it for Emma being upset with her, Regina felt her self tearing up. She didn't want to fight with Emma because she was the only person who believed that Regina could change and had actually helped her to change.

"I'm so sorry Emma if you don't want to speak to me I'd get it, I mean I almost killed your Mom because she told on me, and I made the curse that ruined your childhood. I can't imagine how angry I make you" She said, her head dropped as she began to walk away. Emma chased after her and turned Regina to face her.

"Regina you could never make me hate you so much that I would stop talking to you, I wish you would stop blaming yourself. You just need to remember that some of the things you did, were caused because no one around you was strong enough to help you or was just blinded by fear." She said to the brunette who couldn't stop her tears from falling.

"Thank you, I'm still sorry though, I had my parents, my Mother might have been a witch with a B, but she loved me and just wanted, in her opinion, the best for me. My daddy always looked after me. He might not been strong enough to stand up my Mother, but he made sure I was Ok. I couldn't Imagine growing up with out them. They were always there to support me and with out that support I wouldn't be who I am." She said. Not even trying to stop her tears anymore.

"Look I might of liked growing up with parents, I'll never know, but I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't fight for myself. That's something your mother never taught you right. We both help each other, because that's who we are. We're just two people who needed someone to talk to who understood. I'm glad we met in the way we did because I don't think you would have been my best friend and we wouldn't share Henry. I like that I don't always have to be the one telling him no and protecting him. We're a good team, you know." She said, trying to cheer Regina up, she didn't want her to feel guilty just because her parents decided to give her and there friends a chance to fight against Regina's curse. She's not angry about that either she understood why they did it. The woman in front of her was Henry's mom and her best friend Regina, not the Evil Queen. She knew what it was like as a child to grow up without being able to control what you do, or where you go.

"Are you busy at the moment" Regina asked. Her voice back to normal. Emma shock her head. "Wanna hang out" Regina asked the words sounded strange coming out of her mouth.

"Sure what would you wanna do, my parents won't leave me alone long enough to breath when I'm with them. Hook won't stop cuddling me and we'll everyone else just talks either about the final battle or about the wedding. I'm getting bored of it. I just wanna sit around trashing old movies and screaming at the dwarfs when they get too drunk." She said sighing from boredom.

"Ok today no talk of weddings or battles we will just hang out and do something fun, deal?" Regina asked.

"Yeah sure, where should we start?" Emma asked as they started to walk to Regina's house.

"How about I find lots of junk food and we watch kids films and make fun of them" Regina suggested.

"That sounds amazing, can we start with frozen. I want so see what their story was" Regina asked.

"Sure magic it up from my house were my mom has been forcing poor Neil to watch them all hoping it will teach him about us. I'm sorry but when that kid is old enough to understand he is still going to freak. I think anyone saying, oh by they way we are all from fairytales is going to be a shocker" Emma giggled.

" Yes, unless they are our son then they run the entire story" Regina joined in laughing.

"Henry has always been special, you brought him up with imagination and care so anything was possible in his eyes and they book was something that let him understand more, he's had a link to the book ever since he had began reading them." Emma said grabbing frozen with her magic and popping it in the DVD player. Regina grabbed the junk food and arranged it neatly on the table .

"So have you not bothered watching the films" Emma asked curious to see if Regina knew how she had been portrayed.

"The ones with me in yes, I preferred the adult version of Snow White. The women who plays Snow is not suited to the role well." Regina said settling down next to Emma.

"Yeah that' Kristen Stewart she doesn't do princess well or straight for that matter." Emma laughed to herself. Regina just nodded and pressed play.

They both were silent as the movie started. Regina looked uncomfortable when she saw Elsa trapped in her bedroom.

"Do you think Elsa actually did that" Regina asked feeling sorry for the poor girl who hid her self away.

" I know she did she told me about it, she was too scared to leave after she hurt Anna. She didn't leave until the day she became Queen." Emma told the older woman.

" So if I had taken notice of their kingdom I would have been able to help her a little and bring her land her sister together again. It's too bad I was Evil my power would of helped so many people" Regina said sounding disappointed with herself.

" yes but with out all this mess we wouldn't be here so bless it and move on. You can't do anything now that wouldn't cause more pain so it better to just take it as fact." Emma said reassuring Regina.

" I just wanted to be me, the image my mother set out for me was never my version of perfect but it was all I had at the time" Regina explained.

" I know but now you are living the life you want, you can fall in love, start your own family and do things the way you wanted them to be done." Emma stated trying to get Regina to see it hadn't hurt everyone as much as she thought she had. They continued the movie. Love is an open door started playing. Regina started to laugh to herself.

"What are you laughing at?" Emma asked.

" that boy she is singing to is going to betray her, I can see it a mile off no one for to a party looking for a princess when there is a Queen about, unless it's Snow even at a young age she had many suitors" Regina said. The movie seemed silly to her. Anna would have been angrier at her sister for locking herself away and not being their for her younger sister when she needed it most." Regina said clearly confused by Disney's portrayal of the characters.

"True your Evil Queen character is always vain and trying kill Snow because she is prettier than you, which isn't true because your definitely more beautiful than my mother. She doesn't have your smile, the one that's been through so much heart ache but still seems to be able to light up your face." Emma said not realising how her word had effected the woman to her right.

" You think I'm more beautiful than your own mother" Regina asked is a small voice.

" definitely, your eyes are gorgeous, you have great lips hips and ass and to top it of your personality once you get to know you is amazing, you where born a fighter like pain has made you what you are today and you embrace it" Emma said now seeing how her friend was affected by her words.

"Thank you no one has ever said anything that nice to me before" Regina smiled sincerely at Emma who because suddenly very hot.

" I'm just going out for a break its getting stuff my in here"Emma said making an excuse to leave for a second to cool off. She never noticed before how attractive Regina was. She never let herself relax enough around Regina to notice. Now though she couldn't turn her head off. She was meant to be marrying Hook in a few days and now she has a crush on her best friend. Something told her it had just made things very difficult for her. She took a few deep breaths but before she could walk back in Regina came outside.

" Emma do you really love Hook. I know your marrying him but I want to know that's it's because you love him truly not because of think it's what your mother wants. I learnt from experience that it will never make you happy to follow everyone else's idea of your happiness." Regina asked seeing how disoriented Emma looked.

" I'm not so sure I do, I mean I thought I did, but the more I think about it the worse the plan sounds to be. I'm going to have to live with him and maybe even have kids and I'm not sure Hook will ever stop being a pirate. It's not fair to ask him to stop but at some point I want to stop saving people's lives and settle down." Emma confessed.

" who would you like to settle with?" Regina ask curious but also wishing for Emma to say her name, even though Regina knew deep down she never would.

" someone who gets me and knows when I'm working myself to hard. Someone who needs support just as much as me. I love Hook but his problems never seem to make sense to me" Emma said. She knew what she had wanted to say but at the moment it wasn't right. She didn't know what se wanted to do but if Regina wasn't going to admit it she didn't want to start someone before the wedding and upset everyone who had been dreaming of today ( mostly her mother).

" Emma what do I mean to you?" Regina asked her voice a little nervous.

" Regina you are the most genuine person I have ever met. You wear your emotions on you face where they belong, you don't keep things bottled up and you need let anyone underestimate you. Your beautiful and I would really like it if we could be in each other's life's for the remainder of what we have." Emma said also becoming nervous. She was running through the pro's and con's of tell Regina how she beat her to it. The brunette was unable to stopper self from pulling the blond into a long kiss. It lingered on Emma's lips as Regina quickly pulled away realising what happened.

" Oh god, what did I just do?" Regina whispered to herself just loud enough for Emma to hear. Regina ran back into her house before Emma said anything. Emma was still stood on the spot where the beautiful woman had kissed her. It reassured Emma that marrying Hook was definitely not right for her. She just need to get the balls to tell him and her parents. This wasn't going to be pretty.

Regina ran up to her room locking herself in her bathroom. Her breathing was erratic. She can't believe she had just kissed Emma. She was annoyed that's he couldn't control her emotions around Emma. Every gesture and looks sent shivers continuously down her spine. She just wanted the saviour to see her feeling for her. Now she might have gone and ruined her chances. A couple of minutes later she heard the door of her bedroom opening and a pair of heavy boots walking to the bathroom door. Emma didn't knock she just sat down outside the door hoping that Regina would forgive her for not kissing back.
