Thank you for all the reviews. Here is chapter 4.
Chapter 4
"Emma!" Regina bounded down the stairs with the book, her eyes waiting for something more to appear on the page where Ingrid was. "Look," Regina showed Emma the new image, and Emma then noticed two more pages showed up.
"That's Hook!" She looked concerned.
"This isn't good," Regina stated, shaking her head.
"We need to find them, because two villains getting together will destroy this place." Emma went to get her coat, but Regina stopped her.
"No," the Queen shook her head. "Ingrid is using him as bait to get to you." Regina explained. "She wants you to go get him, to try to 'save' him. Trust me," Regina rested her forehead against Emma's. "I was once a villain." She gave her a quick kiss and walked into the kitchen.
Emma nodded. "Right," she agreed, setting her jacket down. "So what do we do?"
"Eat dinner." Regina replied simply, removing the lasagna out of the oven.
Everyone dished up, and then went to the living room to watch a movie. Henry picked out some action flick, and sat in the huge chair in the corner, while his moms cuddled on the couch. Regina rotated in Emma's arms and fell asleep facing the blonde, and Henry smiled as he noticed Regina's guard fully coming down.
Emma kissed the brunette's forehead and savored her being in her arms. Regina was exhausted. It had been an eventful and hectic few days; there was no denying that. Regina's arm was gently wrapped around Emma's waist, her head under the blonde's chin.
Even when she slept, the wheels in Regina's head were always turning. She had dozed off trying to think of what spell could help her even begin to locate Ingrid and Hook. A simple location spell? Not if Ingrid was in a place she had used magic to hide. She was buried in Emma right now, and she wasn't going to move. She wasn't going to let go. She couldn't.
She was more relaxed than she had ever been, her head, for once, rested fully. She let her brain be turned off, and she just let go. She didn't worry about saving all of Storybrooke today, she let herself be immersed in her love, with only a hint of her sons film in the background, and even that was fading away.
"She never sleeps anywhere but her room," Henry stated, looking down at Regina. The credits had begun to roll and the movie was over.
Emma only nodded. "She is exhausted." She whispered to Henry. "Hon," Emma tried to wake her, but Regina resisted, being annoyed by her partner's attempt. She didn't even need to open her eyes to find Emma's hand and lace hers with it. Giving a blast of her purple to Emma's yellow, she put some electricity through them both and warmed them up.
"Rub my back," Regina mumbled to Emma, who did so. They were both glowing, and it shocked Henry.
"That is so cool!" He had to resist shouting louder. Regina opened her eyes, and remembered she was a parent. Her house was never fully quiet.
Reluctantly, she stood up and led Emma up to what was becoming their room. "Good night Henry." She hinted to him.
"Good night moms." He smiled at them and let them go to bed.
Emma and Regina curled up together and slept soundly. It really had been a long week, and both women were completely drained.

"So," Ingrid smiled and turned around to face Hook, who was sitting on the sofa in her little room. "They think what they have together is special," her evil smile spreading out widely across her face. "Well," she rolled her eyes. "Do I have news for them."
"What are you talking about?" Hook asked.
"I am talking about the fact that my magic and Emma's would be strong. Mine and Regina's would be strong. Heck, mine and Elsa's would be really strong."
"Maybe we need to find a way to win her." Hook thought out loud.
"Who?" Ingrid asked.
"Elsa," He replied. "Then you two would be stronger than Regina and Emma." With her blonde hair framing her face, even up in a tie, Ingrid resembled Emma to some extent. He had been taking steps toward her until he finally dipped his head and kissed her. A jolt went through all of Storybrooke, waking both Regina and Emma up.
"What just happened?" Emma asked.
"Something very bad." Regina replied.
"Let's get the book!" Emma grabbed the book off of the nightstand. "Oh my God…" She looked shocked at the page that said that Hook kissed Ingrid. She wasn't jealous, but she was very worried about a villain partnership like theirs, and what it could mean for the future of them all.

I have a funny idea for Hook's past that will be coming up! Stay tuned. Sorry it is so short, the library was closing as I was typing! Will update again soon.
