Hey! here I am with the second chapter of this! I'm so glad that a lot of people actually liked the idea to this fanfic! Thank you very very much! It means a lot to me! I can't wait to see what you guys think about it! Enjoy it!

Emma came back to Mary Margaret's house. She took a beer while sitting on the couch. Mary Margaret should be home by that time, but she wasn't. Maybe she had a meeting or something, but Emma wasn't complaining at all. It was good to be alone after what happened. She could think better.

Sipping her beer, she couldn't help the thoughts crossing her mind. Kissing Regina was a crazy idea, still very good. Why did she do it? She couldn't think in a plausible answer. It just happened. She was arguing with Regina about her Sheriff Job in one minute, and then they were kissing in the next. Everything happened so fast! Would she regret it later? No way, she won't.

She had been in so many screwed relationships to understand that you must not regret something you did, no matter what. Even if you know that was a bad choice, still keep it and try to fix things in the future. She had Henry. Maybe sleeping with his dad was a bad choice, but wanting to keep her baby wasn't. Look at Henry now! How intelligent and amazing her kid was!

Emma realized her beer was finished, so she got up and took another bottle. Then before she came back to the couch, something caught her attention. There was a ring on the counter that she had never seen there before. She approached taking the ring into her hand. It was very beautiful thought. It had a little snake in top of it, with two shining rocks replaced in the eyes. It definitely wasn't Mary Margaret's. She was wondering what that should mean when she heard a voice right behind her.

"Hey you got home early tonight!" Mary Margaret smiled.

She had some market bags in her hands. She putted them on the table. Emma smiled, suddenly hiding the ring in her jeans' pocket.

"Yeah, I didn't have a lot of work today, so that's why I am here." She smiled back, quickly moving to the bags, trying to find out if Mary brought something good for them.

"Ugh, did you just bring vegetables?" she complained making a funny face.

"Don't be such a kid, Emma!" she smiled opening another bag. "Here, I bought this to you." She took a chocolate bar from there, and gave it to Emma.

"Ok, you know I'm not into candy and I love beers, but chocolates are so pleasurable! I can't get enough of it!"

"You know you can't eat it until you have dinner, right?" Mary yelled when Emma was almost in the upstairs.

"Yeah, and I would listen if you were my mom, but you're not!" she yelled back laughing.

Emma went upstairs to her room. She liked living with Mary Margaret. The teacher was a good friend, she thought. She started to eat the chocolate bar, it was so delicious! She always loved chocolate, no matter how! She closed her eyes and then an image appeared into her head. Regina. Damn it! Why couldn't she forget her? But she didn't try to make the image fade away, she just enjoyed it. Regina was always so beautiful, and her eyes… God! Those dark eyes had so much to say!

But Regina wouldn't talk. She didn't want her. She didn't want to kiss her again. She knew Regina liked the kiss, she knew Regina wanted more, but she refused to get it. Then she remembered the entire fairytale thing that Henry always talked about. Maybe, to understand why Regina was so careful with it, she needed to know more about this curse.

She got up early and went to the Sheriff station. She still had some paperwork to do. The ring, she found out, was still in her pocket. She took it again and tried it on her finger. She took a good look on her hand and she liked it.

Suddenly her office telephone started to ring.

"Swan." She answered. It was Regina. Surprise! "What? Okay, I'm on my way." She answered and hung up the phone.

Emma rolled her eyes, took her jacket and closed the office door. Why was Regina always calling her up? "You chose to be Sheriff, Miss Swan," was the answer Regina gave her the other day. Yeah she chose that and no matter how much work she had, she wouldn't regret it. Actually being Sheriff was good. She could be useful and she could be everywhere and not just stuck at home.

Regina was stood in the market doorway, with her car inveloped in a gray smoke. She was dressed in a dark green skirt into her knees, a black and simple blouse and a green jacket. She was tired of waiting, judging by her impatient look.

"So what's the problem?" Emma asked getting out of her patrol car.

"I thought you wouldn't come." She glanced with an angry look.

"Don't be dramatic, Madame Mayor. I came as soon as you called me."

Regina signed. "My car is broken. It was working when I came here, and now I want to go but it doesn't work anymore. I'm late for a meeting, so I can't drop it at the mechanic's." She answered with her arms crossed on her chest.

"Okay I'll try to fix it." Emma disappeared into the front of the car. She understood a little of mechanics, so she could try to help the powerful Mayor.

After ten minutes she was finished. Emma found the problem and fixed it. She cleaned her hands on her jeans, knowing that was bad, but she hadn't a toil to clean it.

"Now you can go everywhere you want you." She said. She was very proud of her work.

"Thanks, Miss Swan." Regina was gentle and that scared Emma a little.

Then Regina's eyes were staring into Emma's hand. There was something that shouldn't be there.

"Where did you get that ring?" she asked and her voice sounded indifferent.

"Oh this?" Emma raised her hand, looking to it. "It was at Mary Margaret's house. I don't know who owned it, but it's beautiful." She smiled.

For a second her eyes gazed into Regina's, and she saw something dark there. A shiver ran up to her spine.

"Right. But did you know that's not polite to use things that aren't yours?" Regina said that and entered her car. Then she was gone.

Why did that ring bother Regina so much? One person could probably know what that ring meant. Emma entered into her car again and drove until she got to Mr. Gold's store.

"Miss Swan! It's a pleasure to receive the Sheriff into my humble store." He said.

Mr. Gold was sat behind the counter, cleaning some of his rare pieces.

"I want to know what this ring means. Have you seen something like it before?" she gave the ring to him.

"Oh of course I have. This ring belongs to a past century. It has a ring match. The other one is an apple."

Emma had a surprised look on her face. Two rings, a snake and an apple? She didn't need to ask, Mr. Gold completed her thought.

"Yes, Miss Swan. Actually it reminds the Paradise created by God. But these don't refer to it. These rings were created by a man who fell in love with a witch. He loved her so much, but they couldn't be together. He took the snake and gave her the apple. That meant she was the sin who made him love her forever, and he was the sweet and innocent man who she loved forever."

"It's interesting…" Emma wondered. "Thank you, Mr. Gold." she said while she turned on her boots.

"You're welcome, Miss Swan." He smiled.

Emma went back to her office. Maybe that didn't make sense at all, but it was a good story. Why did that ring suddenly appeared in Mary Margaret's house? Who left it there? She came back to work, trying to forget the ring story, when someone appeared in front of her.

"Hey. I brought you food." Mary smiled with a box on her hands.

"Thanks, but you didn't need to bother." But Emma was very hungry actually.

She took the box and cleaned her desk, taking off some of her papers and putting it on a drawer. She opened the box and started to eat. Too bad she hadn't a beer, but the food was very good.

"Well I came here just to bring you this, because I need to go back to school."

"Oh, okay, no problem."

Mary Margaret got up and she was already at the door, but she stopped and asked, "Oh by the way, did you know what ring Regina was talking about? She called me asking about an old ring. She said something about it, but I didn't understand."

"No… I didn't see any ring." She swallowed.

"Okay. See you later." Mary Margaret went out the office, leaving a worried Emma there. Why was Regina looking for that ring? That makes no sense at all! Probably Mr. Gold told her just an old fairytale to make fun of her. Anyway, she would call Regina later to find out. That would be more one excuse to talk to her, after that kiss that they both pretended hadn't happened.

I really wrote it before the episode of yesterday, so it isn't spoilers, ok? So what do you guys think? What does that ring mean? Why Emma is using it? Can we trust Mr. Gold?
