Chapter 2.

Emma couldn't sleep, it wasn't the threat of a lost boy capturing them when they were weak, it wasn't because she heard them cry, it wasn't even to do with the fact that the cold hard ground was more uncomfortable than any bed in the foster system. Emma Swan was kept awake by the soft mumbles from a bed nearby.

She had peered over to see Regina's lips curl into a smile and the when the mumbles became soft moans Emma knew that sleep would be forgotten.

Had Emma not see Regina hands up my her chest she would have assumed that the mayor was up to something. She sat up and watched as Regina's chest heaved as her breathing got deeper.

She gulped as she watched her fists ball up and a moan escape Regina's lips. "Emma"

Emma froze realizing that she was watching the mayor have a sex dream and not just any sex dream but one about her. The idea made a shiver run down her spine.

She edged closer hoping to hear more and her excitement was instantly squashed when she heard another slightly louder moan. "Tink."

"Are you fucking kidding me." Emma groussed louder than she realized. Regina and David jumped from their sleep.

He groaned loudly as he moved. "Aghhh!...I uh, I rolled onto a sharp rock." He explained as Regina threw him an angry look assuming he was the one who woke her. He held his chest and turned over biting down on his lip.

"I will show you a sharp rock." She muttered under her breath. He had just woken her from an amazing dream. She looked to her left and saw Emma sitting up beside her with a scowl.

"I am guessing you were having a good dream too?" She said trying to be non chalant as she ran a hand quickly through her messed hair and made her way over to the blonde, gracefully taking a seat on a log nearby. Emma got to her feet and ambled over to sit down near her.

"No, more of a nightmare." The blonde bit back.

Regina couldn't help look over the woman in front of her. Her eyes stopping at Emma's. She searched the swirling colors of blue and green in Emma's eyes. She saw anger and a small amount of pain in them. "Was it about Pan?"

"No..." Emma sighed trying to not let the jealousy get the better of her. It wasn't Regina's fault and she didn't want to get into an argument when things were finally going good with the two of them. "Just hard to sleep much here."

Regina twisted her wrist and within seconds a large blanket appeared from thin air landing on her lap. She handed it to Emma. "I, uh, I know some people can't sleep without a blanket, Henry use to be that way."

Emma took it and broke into a smile at the gesture. "Thank you. But what about you? Aren't you cold?"

"I have a heating spell going around my sleeping...area." She gave a weak smile and started playing nervously with a ring that was on her finger.

"He is strong right?" Regina asked catching the sheriff off guard.

"Henry. Yes. You raised him right." Emma smiled at her and added not sure if she was trying to reassure herself or the other woman. "We will find him you know."

"Oh I know." Regina said confidently. "I am not losing him. And now we stand a chance with Tinkerbell on our side."

At the mention of her name the blonde frowned and dug her nails into her palm.

"About her, what happened when you were in that cave?" Emma asked nervously.

"We...talked." Regina rolled her eyes as she thought about what had happened with the reckless action of trusting Tinkerbell not to pulverise her heart.

"Oh yeah, you two have that, uh, what was it you called it; a complicated history. What happened there?"

Regina froze and scratched the back of her neck.

"Before Storybrooke and maybe after it even she was the closest thing I ever had to a friend." She squared her jaw and looked ahead. "She wanted me to run away from the King and be free but I was scared."

Emma chewed the insides of her cheeks unsure if she was hearing the story correctly because if she was it sounded like the fairy gave Regina an offer to runaway and be with her but Regina was scared. Emma quickly assumed that gay relationships were probably severly punishable in a land without electricity or cars.

"I get it." Emma told her trying not to get upset at the strong history that the mayor had with the other woman.

"She hated me for it. Understandably...but a large part of me is happy I didn't runaway. Because I wouldn't have cast the curse."

"No Henry." Emma finished. Regina smiled and nodded. The former queen wanted to add "And you." but stopped herself.

"How did you meet Tinkerbell?" Emma said her curiousity overpowering her jealousy.

"I was angry with Rumple and someone I assume him had loosened the bolts on the railing around my balcony." A sad smile ghosted her lips. "I fell and she saved me using her magic."

Emma rolled her eyes. 'I saved you more times than I can think of. How come I don't have an affair with you.'

"Huh, sounds...nice." Emma said as she felt a grip on her chest hearing about Regina's ex. It hurt worse than when she had caught Graham sneaking from the mayoral mansion. "I should sleep, we uh, have a big day tomorrow what with what's her name's help."

"Tinkerbell. Of course. Goodnight Emma." Regina moved back to her sleeping area and turned over smiling that she managed to have a civilised talk with Emma.

Emma however pulled her new blanket up and lay on her back as images of Regina and the fairy came into her mind even when she tried to block them out.
