"Come on Emma, hurry up!" Regina was growing a little impatient as she shouted up the stairs from the door of her home checking her watch as she did.
"I'm coming, i'm coming." Emma casually strutted down the stairs.
"The reservations not till seven we have plenty of time." Emma spoke as she wrapped her arms around the brunets waist.
"Miss Swan…" Regina spoke as she tried not to look the blond directly in the eyes and fall for her act.
"Uh Hu?" Emma kissed Regina in attempts to get out of the queens bad books.
"Get in the car." Emma reluctantly let go of her queen and walked out the door grabbing an umbrella as she did. Regina followed close after locking the door behind her. Emma put the umbrella up as she waited on Regina.
"After you." she gestured forward. The two walked side by side towards the car as the rain lashed down around them.
It was the paris three year anniversary of officially being being a couple and Emma was determined to make a night of it and spoil Regina rotten. She had booked a hotel room and a meal at a very fancy restaurant out of town. She had also made plans with her parents to keep Henry for a night or two so the pair could enjoy some time alone.
"Hey kid" Emma spoke as she got in the car putting the umbrella in the back seat beside her son (who had been sat in the yellow bug waiting on his Moms for the past ten minutes.)
'Every one belted up?" Emma asked as she started the car.
"Yep." Henry replied eagerly.
"Well then lets get you to Grandma's." Emma drove off carefully as the rain smashed down on the wind screen making it difficult to drive.
"You looking forward to spending a couple of days with grandpa?" Emma asked only to break the silence that hung over the car.
"Yes who wouldn't enjoy a whole two days of non stop charming fun." Regina muttered under her breath sarcastically and Emma shot her a look.
"Yeah grandpas going to take me out in the truck for a few lessons tomorrow."
"Is he now?" Regina suddenly became intrigued in the conversation and concerned for the safety of her son.
"Well if there are any accidents i'll know who to blame." Reginas last comment left the whole car silent once more.
Emma pulled up outside her parents building.
"Are you coming up or…?"
"I'll stay here."
"Okay" Emma smiled "Say Good night to your mom kid."
"Good night mom." Henry leaned over the front seat and kissed his moms cheek.
"Goodnight Henry."
"I'll be back in a minute." Emma pecked Reigns cheek as she ran out of the car with henry, through the rain and up to the house.
Walking in through the door into the house , as if she still owned it, Emma was met with the sight of Mary Margret and David in the kitchen cooking dinner.
"Emma!" Snow exclaimed as she headed for the blond giving her a hug so tight Emma almost lost her breath.
"Wheres Regina?" snow questioned as she let go of her daughter.
"Oh she's down stairs in the car. I told her i'd only be a minute. Dad, have you still got the ring?"
"Yeah. uh… here it is." David pulled a small box from the back of the cupboard and through it towards Emma before turning back towards what he was doing, but this time with Henrys help.
"So…"
"So what?"
"Is everything ready? Do you know what your going to say?" Snow began firing Emma with questions.
"Yes everything's ready and no i don't know what i'm going to say, i guess i was just gonna wing it."
"Well what ever happens just make sure you call me when you get there so i know you're safe, okay?"
"Of course mom." Emma began to walk towards the door.
"Oh and Emma, Drive safe."
"I Will Mom. Bye dad, bye henry."
"Bye" The two boys answered in unison as emma walked out the door.
Emma's Eyes were transfixed on the road in front of her as she drove, making little conversation. Regina was sat next to her holding a map. The pair had Just crossed the town line out of story brook and were headed towards the restaurant.
"Take the next right" Regina spoke
"Are you sure? We didn't go this way last time"
"yes i'm sure. i'm the one with the map am i not?"
"All i'm saying is i don't remember going this way on our first date thats all." Regina put the map down.
"Emma your memory clearly doesn't serve you very well. as this is the exact same way we came."
"If you say so." Emma chose not to argue with Regina and took the right As the rain began to come down heavier. With the bugs full beams on the blond still struggled to see what was ahead.
Regina looked down to check her phone and emma caught a glance.
"Are you serious? " Emma grew annoyed.
"What?
"Did you seriously bring your work phone with you on our anniversary?"
"I'm the mayor Emma one night away doesn't change that."
"Exactly. One night. It's one night i'm sure the town wont miss you!" Emma grew more and more aggravated, and didn't realise the increase in speed the foot created.
"Emma…"
"No Regina. We've put this night away off four times in the past two weeks because of your job. You couldn't just leave it behind one night?"
"No Emma i don't just stop being mayor when i leave the office, you know that. If something happens people need to be able to get a hold of me."
"What you cant take one night off anymore? Oh no because the whole town would go to ruins in one night with out you… i honestly cannot believe you brought that."
"What do you want me to do Emma? turn it off and ignore and forget all my responsibilities?"
"Yes!"
"You know what? fine!" Regina turned her phone off and threw in to the back seat.
Emma glanced quickly back to see where it had landed.
"You didn't have to throw it like that."
As Emma turned back around she saw bright lights and heard a horn headed straight towards them.
"Emma!" Regina screamed as the car swerved.
