Hello fair people of the internet! How have you been? Sorry I haven't written a lot in a while, but my mind has been filled with this show, so the only way to make room for more ideas for my writing? Write about this show! So not only have I started a short story series of it, but this also came to my mind, so I decided to start a real story! I hope you enjoy!

Emma Swan was walking casually down the street to get to her parent's house. While Emma did have a car, its sudden break down prevented her from taking it. She found that strange, since she had made sure to take extra good care of it. With her Bug's condition, it should be riding smoothly and perfectly fine, so Emma found it strange how it suddenly wouldn't start. While walking, she couldn't help but notice her son's adoptive mother, Regina, walking toward her with an accomplished smile on her face. Emma walked a little faster to meet up with her, wondering what had her in such a good mood that night. "Regina!" She called once they were in an ears shot from eachother.

She saw Regina's smile grow bigger, as if this is what she wanted, as she stopped in front of Emma. "Miss Swan, you're just the person I wanted to see." She says, still smiling.

"What's up? Is it something about Henry? Or are you reporting a crime?" Emma asked, those were the only two reasons Regina would start up a conversation with her, most of the time it was Emma who did the talking.

"No crime, this is about my son, Henry." Regina replied.

"Actually, he's not your son, he's mine." Emma replied, not liking the feeling she had in her gut. She didn't know why, but she had the feeling Regina wasn't up for friendly chit-chat.

Regina laughed a bit, still smiling. "Well, not yet, but he will be soon." She said, making a chill go up Emma's spine.

"What are you talking about?" She asked, now feeling protective.

"I'm tired of being left on the sidelines, Emma. Before you came to town, I was happy. He was happy, I was his mother. Now, I simply want my happiness back." Regina replied, putting her hands in front of her, folded together.

"You have Robin, though." Emma replied, shifting her weight to one foot.

"Well, yes, but he still doesn't fill the hole left in my heart. Only my son can fill that hole. And I will do anything to get Henry back." Regina said.

"Henry is my son. And I will not take you threatening him." Emma replied, suddenly feeling rage going through her body, and her stomach curl together.

"Oh, that wasn't a threat, Miss Swan. That was a warning. I will get Henry back, no matter what I lose for it. And then," She paused with laughter, "I will have my happy ending."

"I thought you changed, you were good." Emma replied.

"I was good, but good won't get Henry back in my arms. So good luck Miss Swan, good luck." With that, Regina disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke, leaving Emma determined. Pulling out her phone, she quickly found David's number, calling it.

"Hello?" David's voice came through almost instantly.

"David! Where's Henry?" Emma asked immediately, since that was the first thing on her mind.

"He's sleeping, why?" David asked, suddenly sounding worried.

"Because, Regina, she's, she's back to being the Evil Queen. She want's Henry back, and I'm willing to fight through hell to protect him." She heard David sigh before replying.

"Yeah, well, the Underworld is the only place we haven't been, let's try to keep it that way." He replied. "Where are you? Are you on your way here?" He asked.

"Well, yeah, but my car broke down. I think that might have been her doing too." Emma replied, now thinking back to it.

"Where are you? I'll pick you up in my truck." David replied.

"I'm in front of Granny's, but that's not necessary." Emma replied.

"Yes it is. With Regina's threat, well, it worries me. I don't want her to hurt you, so just go into Granny's and wait for me there, okay? I'll have Snow watch over Henry to keep him safe." David replied.

"No, Dad, I want as many people at the loft as possible. I need Henry protected." Emma replied, as usual her only thought on her family and not herself.

David felt his heart flutter and suddenly he was on cloud nine when his little (or not so little) girl called him Dad. However, he knew he had to bring himself down as he took in a deep breath to reply to Emma before she hung up. Suddenly a hand went over his and he looked over to see Snow taking the phone.

"Emma, listen." Snow said in a very motherly tone, which surprised Emma because she was expecting to talk to her Dad, not her Mom. "I know you're worried over Henry. But trust me, both me and your father are to, we know what the Evil Queen can do, but right now, the fact that she threatened our daughter," Snow paused, taking in a deep breath as she looked into her husband's eyes, "That worries us too. So you will be getting a ride, please wait in Granny's for your father. I'll stay and watch Henry." She finished.

Emma knew she couldn't talk her parents out of this, so taking a deep breath she finally agreed before walking into Granny's. She ordered some cocoa to help her wait when a certain pirate's voice came through her thoughts of what Regina had told her.

"Aye, love, you sure you want nothing stronger?" Hook asked as he sat down next to her with a smile. His voice made Emma jump as she looked over. Seeing as it was him, she took a deep breath before replying. (In this story, Robin and Regina are together but Hook and Emma are not.)

"No, I want to stay concentrated." She replied, rolling her eyes.

"Am I witnessing Swan, as in the Savior Swan, thinking of a plan to save Storybrooke when Storybrooke was just saved? What's this about then?" Hook asked in a playful tone. If Emma was in the mood, she would have thought of some sly comeback like, "What's life without a little fun?" or something to set Hook straight. But, as she wasn't, she turned to him angrily.

"Hook, I am not in the mood to deal with you and you're flirting, okay?" She snapped.

"As much as I want to love, that wasn't flirting. That was me makin' a joke." Hook replied, a smile playing on his face as Emma just growled and cursed under her breath.

"I am not in the mood to joke either." She said, accepting the cocoa that Ruby held without saying a word, although she chuckled at the thought that the two fought all the time like some old married couple.

"Well then, maybe you're in for a late night stress reliever? I could help you out if that's what you need." Hook replied, not being able to resist the comeback.

Emma glared at him, and Hook knew his remark was a bit too soon. "Sorry Swan, I'll be a gentlemen, what's wrong?" Hook asked.

Emma threw him a side glance that was filled to the brim with confusion. "Am I witnessing the pirate caring for something else then getting revenge on his crocodile?" She asked, completely serious.

"I've told you before, Swan, I can be quite the gentlemen." Hook replied. "Now, are you going to tell me what's wrong, love? Or am I going to have to get you drunk?" He asked, a smile reappearing on his lips, "I'd prefer the second one." He added, moving with his hook a blonde curl from Emma's shoulder to behind her back.

"I've heard enough." A sudden protective voice cut through the conversation. They looked over and Emma gave a sigh of relieve when they saw David. His eyes were like daggers toward Hook as he walked over to Emma. "You ready to go?" He asked.

"I am, how's Henry?" Emma asked immediately, making a smile appear on Hook's lips once more.

"Ah, so this is about the safety of your lad, isn't it love?" He asked, looking over to her.

"You don't know that." Emma replied almost instantly as she threw a glare his way.

"As I said when we met Swan," Hook replied, turning his gaze back to the drink in his hands, "You're an open book." With that, Emma growled and looked to her father.

"Let's get going." She told him as a signal to get her out of there.

"Alright, don't forget to pay." David replied. Emma nodded and took out her wallet only to see a hand come out and grab it.

"So you're stealing from me now?" She asked as she traced the arm down to Hook with her eyes.

"I know better than to steal from a lady," He replied, "This was just the easier way to pay for you." He added, giving Ruby the money for her cocoa.

"You, don't have to do that." Emma said, watching Ruby hesitate to take the money.

"Aye but I do love, for as I said back in Neverland," Hook replied, standing up, "I will win your heart." With a brush with his hook, the pirate staggered off, leaving Emma's wallet on the counter, and her utterly speechless as she remembered the day he had said that.
