Hey guys thanks so much for the reviews I'm glad you want me to continue/ I never really sat a time period last time so this is set after season three. Emma and Hook did go through the portal but they never brought back Marian =, no frozen, no Hook and Emma, and no Robin and Regina.
One Week Later
Regina approached the Sherriff's station with confidence in her step. She knew it was risky coming here but Emma hadn't turned in any of her paper work for the past week and she wasn't answering any of her calls. After telling Emma that it wasn't going to work about between them Emma had become furious. She accused her of using her and being a heartless bitch before storming out. Regina tried to tell her it was a personal problem and had nothing to do with her but Emma wouldn't believe her. Walking down the short hall she saw Emma and David standing by his desk. Great all she needed was Prince Charming watching them. She softly knocked on the door frame before entering. "Sherriff," she greeted.
"Madam Mayor," Emma replied coldly.
"David would you mind giving me and the Sheriff a moment alone please?" Regina asked with a smile.
David looked back and forth between the two women and felt the strong tension radiating from them both. "Yeah sure, just don't break anything," he muttered as he hurried out.
Regina took a step forward and rested her hand on the edge if the desk. "It has been brought to my attention that have not turned in your weekly report from last week or this one."
"Yeah well you'll get it when feel like it," Emma said looking down at her current paper work.
"Well feel like it now because I need it."
"That isn't the only thing you need," she uttered under her breath.
"Excuse me?"
"What did you really come here for Regina?" Emma asked looking up. "Huh? Did you really come for my paper work or did you need me to satisfy your needs?"
"Ms. Swan," she said sternly trying to control herself. "I need your work because it is your job and right now you're neglecting to do it. You have been avoiding my calls causing me to come down here. I don't need you to satisfy anything of mine. Now if you would please hand me the damn papers."
Emma just looked at her with a blank expression. A part of her wanted to cry and the other wanted to go on a rampage. She got out if the chair and walked into her office. Grabbing the files from the top drawer and threw them at Regina. "Here's the damn papers. Now if you wouldn't mind, I have work to do."
Regina bit her tongue. "I'll be stopping by at eight to pick up my son because I bet you don't 'feel' like dropping him off either." And with that she turned and left. Marching to her car she swung open the door and threw herself inside. Resting her forehead on the wheel she tried to contain all her emotions. She and Emma hadn't had a fight like that in months and she had forgotten how much it hurt. "What have I done?"
When Emma heard the front door close a single tear slipped from her watering eyes. "Our son," she whispered.
...
Just as she said, Regina knocked on the Charming's at eight o'clock on the dot. It took minute but Snow finally answered the door. "Regina! Hi. What are you doing here?"
"What I'm doing here is picking my son."
"Oh well he's not here."
"I told his mother I'd be here at eight to pick him up."
"Well Emma and Henry left about an hour ago."
"And where did they go?" God talking to this woman was like pulling teeth.
"Emma said something about the park, I'm not really sure."
"Bitch," she whispered before immediately leaving. "She did not have time to play games with her. Emma knew she was coming, she did this on purpose.
"Ma, what are we doing here," Henry asked as they walked thought the park.
"Just thought it would be nice to go for a midnight stroll."
"Ok well it's only eight and my mom is supposed come get me."
"Yeah well she can wait," she said with a sour tone.
"Is everything ok between you two?"
"Everything's fine kid."
"Are you sure? Because you guys have been really cool lately but now. It so much."
"Henry just leave it alone!" Emma sighed. "Kid I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. We are just going through some stuff."
He nodded and just kept walking. "You know mom's going to be mad we're out here."
"Yep. That's the point." They continued walking down the winding path when they heard someone call out.
"Ms. Swan!"
"Right on time." Emma turned around and saw Regina hurrying towards them. "Regina, hi!" She said sarcastically waving. "What brings you here?"
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"We decided to go for a walk."
"We or you?"
"Maybe me."
Regina directed her attention towards Henry. "Henry honey lets go."
"Bye Ma."
"Bye kid..."
Regina approach Emma to where they were inches apart. "Acting childish will get you nowhere."
"Is that a treat?"
"Take it as you please," she said slowly.
Emma only shook her head. "If I had known this would have ruined us, I would have never said anything."
Regina's expression immediately softened. "Wait- wait a minute. You would have sacrificed your happiness just so we could continue sleeping together?"
"If it meant that I could still be with you even though wouldn't have meant anything. After I told you how I felt I realized you used me."
"I did no such thing. You showed at my house, called me in the middle of the night whenever you pleased. I can when you called. You used me as much as I used you… we are equal. And Emma I swear I never meant to hurt you. Like I said this was about me not you."
"It's always about you Regina. You pulled that 'It's not you it's me' bullshit. If you really didn't want me that's all you had to say!" she tried to keep her voice down so Henry wouldn't over hear. "Regina when I told you I really thought you felt the same way and then you fucked me but I guess you were just taking advantage of the moment to get what you really wanted."
"Hey!" Regina said shoving her finger into her chest. "You have no idea how I felt or feel."
"That's right I don't!" she said throwing her arms up. "So please Regina enlighten me!" she was yelling now and they had Henry's attention.
"Does it really matter now?! We're through, we're over."
"We were never even together!" she barked. She shoved Regina back not realizing the amount of energy swirling her palms.
"All you think… all anyone ever thinks is that I'm a cold, heartless, bitch! Yeah I can be at times but I have feelings too! And just because I don't want to share them with you doesn't mean they're fake, it means I'm afraid you're going to judge me!" She shoved her back with the same energy in her palms. Tears were rolling down her hot cheeks. All anyone ever did was judge her. By not telling Emma how she felt, she was protecting her, or that's at least what she told herself.
"Mom," Henry called out, nut neither of them looked at him.
"Regina you can be so stupid sometimes. I would never judge you… sometimes loving you hurts."
Love. That word ripped through her body like a poisoned arrow. Love has never gotten her anywhere. Lover hurt her. To her love truly was the devil. But for some reason she always seemed to crawl back to him. "You don't love me, just stop. Just stop lying!"
"Mom," Henry said louder. But again no one looked. "MOM!"
"What!?" they both yelled turning their heads.
"Look down!" they both looked down and saw a bright light shining up through the ground. Taking steps back the soil gave way and a portal appeared. Both women screamed and tried to throw their bodies back. Emma grabbed fist fulls of grass that were ripping from the ground one by one. Her legs were being sucked further and further into the swirling green and yellow light. Regina was barely hanging on as well. The cluster of roots she dangled from continued to rip form their homes and lower her deeper into the hole. She heard Henry calling for them and hoped to God he wouldn't get any closer. She looked over at Emma who was struggling to pull herself up but just wasn't strong enough. She out stretched one of her arms hoping her magic could hoist Emma out but as soon as she let go she was gone.
Emma watched as Regina disappeared through the portal. "No!" she screamed. She kicked her feet hoping for a bit of ground to stand one but there was nothing. There was nothing she could do, she was stuck and she wasn't going to let Regina go alone. Closing her eyes she let go.
The portal immediately closed up swallowing them whole. Henry fell to the ground and began running his hands over the wet grass. "Moms! No!" he beat the ground with his fists hoping it would break again. They were gone…again.
….
Regina emerged from the frigid water gasping for breath. She had never known a portal to open under water before. The night sky was as black as it could get. The moon was only a sliver not helping give her a source of light. She spun around trying to see if anything looked familiar but all she saw was shimmering water. She was alone and there was no land to be seen. 'Emma-" she thought. Have she fallen through too or had she gotten out? If she had fallen through then why wasn't she in the water too? "Emma!" she called out. "Emma!"
