Chapter One

Emma Swan sat in the corner of the Granny's Diner staring into space. All she keeps on thinking about was Regina Mills. She didn't hear her friend Ruby calling her

"Emma?" "Earth of Emma..." "EMMA!"
Emma jumped a bit and turned to her friend.

"Oh- hey Ruby," she says.

"Everything okay?" Ruby asked as she put down a cheeseburger with French fries and a coke. Emma smiled,

"Yeah everything's okay." Although on the inside, she was not okay.

"I know you're not okay," replied Ruby. "But, let me know when you are ready to tell." Emma stared at her best friend and smiled sadly at her.

"Thanks Ruby," Emma whispered. Ruby smiled and went back to work.

Emma sat there while eating her cheeseburger. To her, the cheeseburger didn't taste like they normally do. Her thoughts about Regina were from the first time they met after bringing Henry home. When she saw Regina, she find her beautiful, a hard-working mother, and a brave person. When they first met each other, Regina hated her and Emma "hated" her back. However, Emma was in loved with her since they met. She didn't realized that till their son, Henry Mills was pulled out of the mine and the family stayed with their son. That was when Emma really knew that she was in love with Regina Mills.

Emma was pulled out of her thoughts, when the diner bell rung. She turned around and saw Regina with Robin, her soul mates, and Robin's little son, Roland. Regina Mills was smiling at Robin. Emma smiled sadly and wished that it was her, that could make Regina smiles. Regina looked up and saw Emma sitting in corner booth. She went over.

"Hello Miss Swan," Regina greeted.

"You know my name is Emma right, Madame Mayor?" Emma asked.

"You know my name is Regina right, Sheriff?" Regina responded back.

"Hey Regina," Emma greeted.

"Hello Emma," Regina greeted back. "I see that you're still not eating green." Regina looked at Emma's food. Emma smiled at Regina.

"Come on, you like to try," Emma said. Regina scrunched her nose.

"You wish," she responded. "What are you doing here?"

"Eating dinner, of course" Emma answered with a smile. Regina raised her eyebrow. "I didn't feel like making myself a home-cooked meal. What are you doing here?" Regina turned and around and saw Robin looking at the menu, while Roland was coloring.

"Having dinner with Robin and Roland," she answered. She didn't see Emma smiled sadly.

"Where's Henry," Emma asked Regina.
"At a sleepover," Regina answered.
"Okay. Well, I must get going. Have papers to fill out," Emma said suddenly. "Enjoy your dinner, Madame Mayor." Emma got out of her seat and left a $20 for the dinner.

"Regina, Emma," Regina said.

"Are you really going to the station?" Emma nodded her head.

"Yeah, I need to finish filling out the papers."

"Enjoy your evening, Miss Swan. Do go home early," Regina insisted.

"Emma, Regina," Emma corrected her. Regina nodded her head.

Regina went back to Robin and Roland, while Emma left the diner. Before, she closed the door; she looked back at Regina and saw her talking to Robin and Roland. 'One day.' Emma thought to herself.

Unknown to both of them, Ruby Lucas was watching the interaction between Emma and Regina. Oh Emma, I hope you get your happy ending.

She quickly called Henry,

"Hey Henry, you were right. Emma has feelings for her. Regina maybe."

"Thanks Ruby, Operation Swan is just getting started," Henry replied on the phone. Ruby hung up and went back to work.
