Emma awoke the next day in a haze as to what happened the previous night, all she knew was that her head hurt. She rolled over onto her back and stared up at the unknown ceiling trying to make sense of what had happened last night, all she could remember was sitting at the park and that she had probably had too much rum.
A quiet knock on the door brought Emma's attention to the door, "come in," she said quietly as she propped herself up on her elbows.
"Good morning, Miss Swan," Regina said quietly.
"Oh, Regina," Emma said,. "Good morning."
"How are you feeling?" the brunette said as she lingered in the doorway, "did you want some water or aspirin or something to eat?"
"One question," Emma said. "What time is it?"
"Well woke up 5 minutes ago and it was half past six," Regina smiled.
"It's half six... in the morning?"
"Well I'm not one for sleeping all day," Regina stated.
Emma fell back onto the bed mumbling something how early it was and how that no one on Earth should be awake at this time.
"Come on, I'll make you some coffee and breakfast."
Regina turned around to head downstairs and Emma wasn't far behind her. When the blonde found the kitchen, she was instantly met with the smell of fresh coffee.
"Please have a seat, Miss Swan."
"Call me, Emma," the blonde smiled, "I feel like a school teacher when you call me that."
"Fine,聽Emma, what can I get for you to eat?" the brunette asked with a smile.
"I'll just have coffee please, I don't feel like eating right now."
Regina turned to the coffee maker and poured the black liquid into two cups before handing one to the apprehensive blonde. She saw how the blonde was distancing herself and also the lack of sleep she had been getting.
"Sleep well?"
"Yeah," the blonde lied. "I think I'll head off now, thanks for the coffee."
Emma stood up from her chair at the worktop and pulled her jumper over her tank top before heading out the white front door. Before Emma could leave, Regina walked after her and told her that she was welcome to stay anytime she wanted.
Emma turned the key into her family's apartment and braced herself for noise and a screaming baby. Stepping into the apartment she noticed that no one was there which was unusual for her parents at 7:11am. No screaming baby, no mother and father. She was alone. Walking over to the coffee pot, she noticed a note that was addressed to her.
Emma, we have gone to the park. See you later, love Mom and Dad.
The blonde poured herself a cup of coffee before walking to the bathroom with the mug in hand, she needed to shower after the previous night of drinking, the smell of the rum lingered on her clothes. After taking a much needed shower, the blonde put clean clothes on; blue jeans and a off-white sweater but as she headed back downstairs she noticed that her parents had returned with Neal.
"Good morning," Mary-Margaret chirped. "How are you feeling?"
"I... uh, I'm okay," Emma said unsure as to why her mother was in such a good mood.
"Can I make you something to eat or some coffee?"
"I'm fine thanks, I already ate," she lied as she sat at the table. "Get it over with. I know you're pissed with me."
"What are..." the short-haired woman began trying to act innocent, "okay, where the hell were you last night? I heard you leave when Neal woke up and you never came back and you never called. Me and your father were very worried about you, and..."
"I was at Regina's," Emma interrupted.
"Why the hell was you at her house?!"
"Because," Emma said.
"Because what?" the brunette replied. "What's so great about being under the Evil Queen's roof?!"
"It's quiet!" Emma said with a raised voice, "I can actually sleep there without being woken up every hour!"
"Well why don't you stay there then!" she argued back.
Emma stood up and grabbed her red leather jacket, "fine!" she said before she slammed the apartment door.
"What was all that about?" David said as walked into the kitchen-living room with Neal in his arms.
"I think I accidentally threw Emma out of the apartment," the brunette said.
