Hey guys this is my first ever fanfic. Never even considered writing it before. It's a short first chapter just so I can get a feel of readers and what you would like to read. I have another chapter or two already written. Would love your feedback just try not to make it too harsh :)
I don't own Once Upon A Time or the characters!


The familiar, and dreaded, 'click-clack' of heels in the hallway, roused Emma from her sleep. She had dozed off at work, again.
"Miss Swan, I trust those aren't the budget reports I asked you to complete and have at my office this morning?" 'Shit' Emma never kept paperwork under control. She really needed a deputy to help with some of the boring stuff.
"Madam Mayor, you know me better than to ignore instructions." Biting the inside of her cheek, so as not to reveal her smirk, Emma kept her eyes staring intently into brown.
"Do I need to hire someone more capable for the position, Miss Swan, or will you take your job and the safety of this town a little more seriously?" The Mayor turned on her heels and left. Groaning, Emma sat back at her desk to begin the budget reports.
Emma hadn't noticed the time until Ruby called. It was almost 9.00 and she was still doing paperwork. Filing away what she had finished, Emma smiled triumphantly, proud of her effort. Turning off the lights in the station she started down the hall, consumed by thought of food and bed. She told Ruby they would have dinner tomorrow. Taking the steps two at a time, Emma finally made it home.
"Emma! I was so worried! Ruby came around earlier and said she couldn't find you. I tried calling the station but the line was dead... You should fix that before Regina tries to call... Where were you?" Mary-Margret's onslaught was making Emma's head spin.
"Food first." She practically sprinted for the kitchen, dropping her bag on the floor; desperate to answer her stomachs noisy abuse. Breakfast for dinner, her favorite.
"Emma cereal isn't a proper-" the blonde shot MM a glance that had her stop immediately.
"The station." MM's brow furrowed and Emma rolled her eyes. "That's where I was. Regina showed up around 2.30 and I still hadn't touched the budget reports, or any of the paper work she asked me to. I sat down to it and, I don't know, I guess I was sort of on a roll and just lost track of time." She just shrugged her shoulders.
Mary-Margaret went about grading papers, talking animatedly about some big camping trip with the school kids in the coming weeks, but in all honesty Emma wasn't paying much attention, she just wanted to go to bed. She sat up and had a tea before saying goodnight, climbing the metal staircase and collapsing on her bed. Wriggling out of her pants and deciding the rest of her clothes were as good as pajamas, Emma fell into a deep sleep.
