A/N: This idea was inspired by a convo I had on twitter some 3 weeks ago. I really like the idea and asked the people if I could make a fic. They said I can. So this story was born. It contains elements from "The Heat", "Parks and Rec" and "The 100" for now. But I might expand the list as the story progresses.

Established SwanQueen and as always no H00s. In fact this disclaimer is the only part you'll see them mentioned. No beta for this, so all mistakes are my own. I apologize in advance, as I know there might be some mistakes since English is not my first language. Let me know what you think.

"No you can't do that"

"Why not?

"Because that's not how things are done here"

"This is dumb"

"No, it's standard procedure"

"It's boring. I went from one boring thing to another. I was promised adventure"

"I promised no such thing"

"I agree with her here. It did sound like we would embark on an adventure. I quote "Are you a team player? Do you strive for justice? Do you want to be part of a team that is result driven and has a hands on approach? Do you strive to be part of the most dynamic team in this town and be at the forefront of where all action and adventure takes place? If you answered yes to all of these questions than go no further and apply for a position within the Sheriff department" end quote"

"Did you memorize that?"

" I have really good memory"

"Oh. Still, be that as it may, Tink you are not allowed to throw a watermelon at a guy's head to stop him"

"But that chick did it when she chased the guy…"

"That's a movie. It's not real."

"So are fairy-tales. Your point sheriff?"

Emma just covers her eyes, she feels a headache is imminent. Why did she think this was a good idea?

2 weeks before - Saturday night

"Ahh fuck."

"Ignore it."

"I can't."

"Emma, damn it if you don't finish what you started so help me…", but Regina never manages to finish her threat as Emma has already left her to answer the phone. Regina just covers her eyes in frustration and hears Emma speak on the phone.

"Sheriff Swan. What's your emergency?"

Regina just watches Emma talk on the phone all professional and authoritative, as if she was merely on patrol 30 seconds ago, and not between Regina's legs, trying to give Regina "the best orgasm of her life". She feels so frustrated and angry. She feels the desire to murder whoever called and interrupted what was becoming a really good orgasm.

"... Ok. I'm on my way" Emma ends the call and rapidly gets dressed with magic. Regina can feel her chest swell with pride at how Emma seems so in tune with her magic.

Emma approaches the bed and gives Regina a long kiss on the lips, a kiss that makes Regina humms in approval and sparks a wave of arousal through her again. Oh how Emma can make her come undone with a simple kiss. When they break apart Emma looks apologetic at Regina.

"Sorry, my love, I'll make it up to you, I promise. I just have to go take care of this."

Regina just feels so many emotions in this moment and so strongly all she can do is nod and say a simple

"Ok. See you later and I'll hold you up on that promise"

"I love you"

"I love you too, Emma."

They should know better than to start something like this when Emma's on call. Problem is Emma's always on call or it just feels that way. This is not the first time they were interrupted while having sex. There were also many family nights that were interrupted. After the events in Camelot and the underworld Storybrooke became quite a hub for people in different realms. Suffice to say Storybrooke grew and with it the crime rate grew as well.

For a while there Storybrooke used to be a quiet town, where the sheriff's only job was to rescue cats out of trees, run after Pongo or give parking and speeding tickets. Emma's day to day job changed considerably in the past year though. As it stood right now it was barely manageable between Emma and her father, and both were starting to show signs of fatigue.

Regina herself is getting fed up with the frequent interruptions to their time together. They've been together for more than a year (1 year, 3 months and 17 days, not that she's counting) and their time together has been cut short countless of times (78 times if she counts tonight, but she's not really keeping a close tally on it). She knows Emma won't ask for help, not on this. She always goes all out in her job as if she's trying to prove that's she can do her job, that she's not some useless sheriff incapable of doing her job because she's too blind or obsessed with something or someone. Deep wounds heal hard and sometimes they leave scars. Regina knows she'll have to take matters into her own hands on this and just present Emma with a solution to the problem she's probably unaware she currently has.

With that in mind Regina picks up her laptop and gets to work.

On Tuesday, Emma's informed via Regina's secretary that the mayor scheduled a meeting with the sheriff at 2pm that day

"I apologize for the late notice, Madame Mayor just informed me of this meeting a few minutes ago."

"Do you know what she wants?"

"No, sorry. But she demanded your presence at 2pm."

"Ooookay..." Emma drags that word uncertain whether she's in trouble or not. Regina hasn't acted unusual and Emma doesn't think that's she's done anything that might get her in trouble with her wife. She's even made it up to Regina as she promised and Regina was more than happy about it.

She starts to think that maybe she forgot something, like the anniversary of some milestone. It's not their marriage anniversary she knows that much, it's also not Regina's birthday or Emma's, so it couldn't be a surprize party.

But she doesn't have much time to ponder on the reason why Regina called a meeting with her, because the sheriff station phone goes off and she must go sort some disturbance near the docks.

Of course the call out will make her late to her meeting with Regina. She's 10 minutes late. Regina won't be too happy, but there's not much she can do about it. There's only one of her and her dad is off since he'll cover the afternoon shift. It's bound to get busy as one of the bars in town has a happy hour time. Emma's sure she'll be called out as well, she just hopes she'll be able to have her dinner in peace with her family.

She does realise that she needs help. This situation where it's just her dad and herself taking care of the law and order in this town is starting to take its toll on both of them. She needs to talk this with Regina. She's postponed the issue long enough but it is taking a toll on her and on her personal life.

She'll see what Regina wants from her today and, she thinks that if Regina's in a good mood at the end, she'll pitch the idea. Her wife will probably cave in and make space for a second deputy. After all it didn't take Emma long to convince Regina to upgrade the sheriff station equipment.

Everything is an if though. Because she's late. Regina will chew her alive. She takes a deep breath and goes into Regina's office after she says a warm hi to Regina's assistant.

"Regina, I'm sorry I'm late. I had a call out at the docks"

"That's all right Sheriff. Please take a seat."

"Umm ok." Emma asks with narrowed eyes, while taking her seat "What's this about? It's this about the paperwork? I'm a bit behind but not by much but I don't have enough time to finish it all. I might finish it in my night shift in 2 days so …"

"Emma, relax. Yes I did call you to talk matters relating to the sheriff department. I realise that it's getting harder and harder for you and David to cope with the demands of this job."

Emma just breathes a sigh of relief. Seems like her wife beat her to it. She should have known, after all Regina's incredibly invested in Emma's welfare, always making sure Emma wants for nothing. Sure her wife pampers her, but Emma's not complaining. It's good to be in a relationship where she's loved and the giving and taking is equal.

"… so I had a look at the budget and after juggling a few items in the town's budget I made space for the sheriff department to hire 2 more deputies. I've discussed these matters with the city council this morning and they agreed to allow the Sheriff department to hire 2 more people. Not only it allows your father and yourself to have some time off but it also offers employment opportunities for those who are willing to have a career change. I've already contacted the newspaper and the job advertisement will go in tomorrow's newspaper edition. That is if you agree."

Emma just stares at Regina. Sure Regina already did all this without asking her, and this should annoy Emma. She's used to discussing any proposed changes with Regina before they even make a decision. Yet Regina made a huge decision on her own and only informed Emma now. At the same time Emma knows it's what she wanted and at least she doesn't have to even try to convince Regina to make space in the budget for a deputy. The third problem was a bit more troublesome: Regina made this decision on her own without consulting Emma, so this looked like something that disturbed Regina. Yet she never said anything.

"Not that I'm not happy for this, but why did you make this decision without consulting me and how long have you been planning this?"

"Since Sunday" Regina says and she looks a bit reprimanded by Emma.

"This Sunday?"

"Yes"

"What? But I don't get it"

"Emma, I was on the verge of a mind blowing orgasm and you stopped because you had to pick up the phone and go to deal with an emergency. Do you know how many times this happened? Because this was not the first time this happened"

"Mind blowing orgasm?" Emma asks unable to keep her smugness at bay.

"Is that all you've retained from what I've told you?"

"No, I got the rest but this is more important."

"What will I do with you, Emma?"

"Love me? Kiss me?"

"I love you very much. As for kissing you, I'm barely containing myself right now. But the sooner this meeting reaches a conclusion…"

"Say no more" Emma says raising from her chair and going over to Regina's. She approaches Regina and turns her chair around. She puts her hands on the armrests of Regina's chair and bends close to Regina's lips. "I was already thinking about all of this on my way to you so the answer is yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes I'll hire some new deputies, and... "

"And?"

"And prepare to experience the best kiss of your life"

"My, my aren't we cocky all of a sudden, Sheriff?"

"You have no idea what I'm capable off, Madame Mayor" and with that Emma closes the gap and kisses Regina.

On Wednesday the add goes up in the newspaper. Regina makes an impromptu visit to the sheriff station to make sure Emma and David can conduct an interview and hire someone. She needs competent deputies and for that Emma and David need to know what must be done. Emma assures her it will be fine.

By Friday they've had a few applications. Apparently quite a few people had shown interest in the job. Emma decided she'll make a decision on who to interview by Sunday then on Monday invite them for an interview. She guesses Regina will want updates though, after all she came up with the idea and pitched it to Emma. Besides Emma knows her wife to well, she'll want to be involved behind the scenes in all of this.

On Monday she's had 5 people up for interview: 2 knights, 1 fairy, 1 warrior and 1 dwarf. In the end she decided on the fairy and the warrior, after all it seemed like a good combo, or so Emma told herself. She's worked with both of them before and the missions were a success so how hard would it be to train them to do some police work. If Emma herself could do it, then so could they. Right?

Wrong. She was so wrong. What was she thinking? Getting a super excited fairy and a chill warrior to do the job. More often than not Mulan would just roll her eyes in a "this is so retarded" way. She had war experience, so policing a small town probably didn't seem as exciting as Regina made it look. Plus Mulan had a very direct approach, more so than Emma herself.

Then there was Tink. She joined the convent for a bit trying to find her way, but the fairy was too hyperactive for the convent. Hiring Tink seemed like a good idea at the time for several reasons, none of which Emma can remember except for "in your face Blue". She now wonders if it was worth it. The broken watermelon would suggest otherwise. Maybe living in Neverland for so long messed with Tink, it would explain some things. She should probably ask Regina.

"Tink, that's not how we do things. We need to interrogate him, not kill him or give him memory loss from head injury"

"Ugh. Well I stopped him"

"Lady you almost killed me", oh well the guy is awake. Oh joy.

"Yeah, but did you die?"

Emma can hear Mulan snort next to her and all Emma an think is someone ban the TV from Tink's life. She should talk to Regina.

"Ok, Steve, lets get you to the station" Emma says bending down and handcuffing the guy.

While David is at the station, Emma takes her new deputies to the shooting and training range created by Regina. Well created with magic since Emma still had to be in town and needed the magical protection, or so she argued, when she was training fairytale people.

"As cops you need to know how to use more than one type of fire arm. Now you've had some practice with pistols but I think it's important to know how to safely use and operate this baby here." Emma says pointing to a shotgun. "both of you grab a shotgun".

"Now can anyone tell me why it's dangerous to look down the barrel of a shotgun?"

"Is this a trick question?" Tink asks already looking down the barrel.

"Tink you never ever look down the barrel of a gun. Don't point it at yourself or people in general. "

"So many rules. Don't point he gun at people you don't want to shoot. Make sure you have the safety on. Never let kids handle it. Always use correct ammunition. I'm telling you swords are better. Can I use my sword?"

"No." and Emma can't understand what's so special about that sword. Not even David cries after his sword so much. I mean sure it can block fire, but it's no gun.

"I think she's concerned for your safety" ahhh Tink coming to the rescue, that's a good thing. Tink speaking something that makes sense. "I mean you're a lesbian, you need a gun for safety, maybe Emma should give you some bullet proof vest and some bullet proof helmet. At the rate lesbians die..." and that lasted for a total of 15 seconds. "hey boss, you have any magical armour for Mulan here that can save her from stray bullets?"

"Oh for goodness sake Tink, life is not a movie, there are no stray bullets waiting to hit Mulan"

"I'm just saying the odds are not stacked in her favour in any genre"

"She'll be fine as long as you don't point any guns at her."

"Don't say I didn't warn you"
