Swan. Regina rolled the name around in her mouth. Despite the plethora of papers she had on her desk, she couldn't get anything done. Each time she tried to refocus, the blonde popped back in her mind. Regina detested the Sheriff's cheap wardrobe and utter lack of manners, and yet there was something about the sadness in Emma's eyes, the hardness of a little girl who'd been wronged, that caught the mayor's attention. Of course the tight jeans and see-through tank tops didn't hurt.
As if reading her mind Emma stormed in. "Regina, we have a problem." She planted her hands on the edge of Regina's desk, a foot away from the Mayor.
Regina's lips curled, "That's Madame Mayor to you." she retorted. She would not have her power undermined by a woman who thought she could stroll back into town to reclaim her son.
"Madame Mayor," Emma spat the title back " we have a problem."
Regina's gaze raked up and down the blonde's figure, "And what, pray tell, is that?" the mayor inquired.
Emma ignored her teasing tone, Henry was more important than whatever was going on between them. "Look," Emma sighed, "I think we need to put all this crap behind us. It's starting to spread beyond just you and me, Mary Margaret told me that Henry's been really moody in class. I care about our son more than this stupid feud."
"Our son?" Regina arched her eyebrows, "last time I checked he was my son." Regina knew Emma was right, Henry had only grown more hostile since they began fighting, but she wasn't about to agree easily.
"Regina we both love him and want whats best for him. If that means sitting through a meal or a game together, than so be it. We need to show Henry that there are better ways to work things out." Emma usually fed off of Regina's anger, but this time she kept a cool head. This was one point she wasn't going to give up on.
The Mayor's face transformed from frustration and annoyance to sheer surprise. "A meal or a game? The three of us?" Regina said unable to hide her shock. She quickly regained her composure, "Fine, be at our house at eight o'clock sharp tomorrow. I will not tolerate lateness Miss Swan."
Emma couldn't believe that Regina had actually said yes. "Um, yeah okay, see you then," Emma awkwardly replied as she began to leave the office.
