A/N I got such wonderful reviews yesterday I was determined to post another chapter today. (Don't get used to daily updates though unfortunately I do have other nonsense in my life that prevents me from working on fanfic 24/7) To all you reader with theories on how this will go some may be right some may be wrong but they are all fantastic ideas hopefully what I come up with will please you. So thanks again to everyone who has shown interest in this story I love reviews, and to those of you who haven't left one yet, why not? even if its criticism, so long as its constructive, I'd like like to hear your thoughts.


Emma drove Mary Margaret to Archie's office then since Henry was getting out of school she decided to pick him up. While waiting in the parking Emma decided to call Regina.

"Hey."

"Emma? What a surprise." The blonde could hear the other woman's smirk and it made her smile in turn. "So, to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"

"I have to have a reason?"

"Of course not. Though I am a busy woman." At some point the town had seemed to re-elect Regina as mayor, or at least didn't object when she had started acting as mayor again, it seemed like no one else really wanted the job.

"Are you at the town hall?"

"While the town doesn't mind me doing the work of a mayor they still don't particularly enjoy me presence there so I'm at home." She did little to hide the contempt in her voice. "Why do you ask?"

"Well…" Emma bit her lip realizing she should have asked Henry about this first but now that she had Regina on the phone she just decided to spit it out. "I thought maybe I could bring Henry by while he did his homework."

Emma was sure she heard something fall to the floor on the other side of the line. At first Emma wanted to laugh but then heard Regina muttering. "Regina you still there?"

"Yes, I'm still here. Henry really wanted to come over here?" Regina had been genuinely excited but Emma's silence answered her question. "I see…"

"Hey, I just haven't asked him yet. I'm sure he'll want to come over." Emma hated that the brunette sounded so dejected. "I see him now, we'll be over there in like ten."

She didn't wait for a response before hanging up the phone.

"Hey kid!" She called from the patroller window.

"Hey mom." He ran over t the car. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought maybe I could pick you up and maybe you could do your homework at Regina's." Henry didn't answer. Emma knew the kid still held a grudge against his mom.

Hmm holding onto grudges wonder where he got that from? She thought sarcastically. Henry was a lot like Regina even if he didn't see it.

"Henry, I can't make you spend time with your mom but it would make her happy to see you and it's just to do homework. So what do ya say?"

He took a breath, "Are you gonna stay we us?"

"If you want me to?" Emma offered.

Henry nodded and they drove down to Mifflin Street. Regina was thrilled to see her son coming up the walkway but refrained from running toward him this time.

"Hey mom," Henry awkwardly greeted her.

"Hi, do have much homework?"

"Not really, I got some math and reading but The Blue Fairy didn't really seem to interested in science." Henry shrugged.

"Ok well why don't you go inside and get started, if you need anything from your room I left everything just the way it was."

"Thanks," He yelled as he ran inside.

"Thank you." Regina turned to Emma.

"Hey so... what are you up to?"

"Well my tree has been doing well so I was planning on making some apple turnovers."

"Planning on frightening the townspeople."

"Excuse me?" Regina was about to snap at the blonde but then noticed the smile. "Ah, you were joking. Well would you like to come help me?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

OUAT OUAT OUAT

"So then The Blue Fairy basically said that magic was better than science and gave us an extended recess but the other kids were asking if you were gonna come back." Henry had been talking David and Mary Margaret's ears off.

"Well… we'll see," Snow gave a noncommittal answer.

"Hey Emma what's in the bag?" David tried to change the subject.

"Oh," She pulled the Tupperware out of the bag. "Regina and I made some apple turnovers."

"You and Regina?" David eyed her skeptically.

"Yeah we went over there after school." Henry nodded. "Can we have one before dinner?"

Everyone was shocked by Henry's request. Emma was thrilled because maybe it meant Henry was on his way to forgiving his mom.

"Sure. Ok so, I made this batch myself." Emma took out the turnovers, "and there's one for each of us."

Even being told it was Emma that made them David was hesitant to touch the pastry. Henry walked over to get a glass of milk from the fridge while Emma waited eagerly for her parents to sample some of her baking.

"Well they look lovely," Snow picked up the dessert and took a bite. "This is –"

Suddenly Snow began to cough and David jumped to his wife's side.

"You," he looked accusingly at Emma. "You brought that witch's poison here."

Henry and Emma looked on fearfully and she stammered before Snow started to laugh.

"Snow?" David turned as she continued to laugh.

"Emma, these are terrible." She was having trouble speaking she was laughing so hard. "What did you put in these?"

"Just the normal stuff." Emma picked up the turnover on her plate before taking a bite herself. "Oh god." She gagged then spit it in the trash.

"I want to try." Henry's eyes lit with curiosity.

"Oh no Henry don't," Emma tried to dissuade him but when she saw his frown, "ok fine."

He took a bite then made a face, "I guess I should really stay away from both of my moms' apple turnovers."

Henry grinned wildly thinking his joke was clever. Snow started laughing again and Emma leaned over and hugged her son's shoulders and rolled her eye before joining in the laugh. David however remained silent, there was a fake smile on his face when his family looked at him but inside he felt humiliated and angry.

OUAT OUAT OUAT

"So how did your family like the turnovers?" Regina smirked as she saw an incoming call.

"What did you do to them?" Emma asked.

"Oh I didn't do anything, that was all you dear." Regina laughed a bit.

The line was silent for a moment before Emma asked, "Ok so what did I do?"

"I told you the cinnamon was in the container with the blue lid, you need to learn to listen." Emma groaned. "Also dear you should learn the difference between a teaspoon and a table spoon."

"Jesus Regina you knew and you let me feed that to people? You really are evil." Emma was teasing.

"Why don't you come over here and see how evil I really am?" Regina could tell she'd flustered the other woman, which was something she quite enjoyed doing.

"Well David was totally freaked out, but at least Mary Margaret thought it was funny."

Regina's good mood vanished upon hearing that Snow found it funny. Snow should find nothing funny, Snow should be miserable.

"Regina?" Emma's voice reminded the brunette that she was still on the phone.

"I have to go Miss Swan." Regina hung up the phone without waiting for the blonde to answer. Grabbing her keys she left the house in search of answers.
