I feel like no one reads this story anymore but I will keep updating anyways.


Emma brought Tamara back and walked out of the station with Regina.

''Regina, I'm sorry but we will find him.'' Emma appologized. She wanted to find Greg for both Regina and Henry, just so they knew they were safe.

''It's fine, aslong as Henry is okay it doesn't matter.'' Regina admitted.

''Would you like to get home and sleep? You didn't really get much sleep last night.'' Emma said.

''I don't think I'm capable of sleep at the moment.'' Regina said.

''Okay but you should at least lay down'' Emma said. After a while Regina gave in and they walked towards Emma's appartment. Regina sat down on the couch and let out a sigh of exhaustion. She closed her eyes for a while and fell asleep.

Emma walked to her bedroom and when she got back she found a sleeping Regina on the couch. She smiled and silently made her way to the kitchen. She texted her mom to see if everything was alright with Henry and sat down next to sleeping Regina. She just sat there for a while until she felt Regina snuggling against her in her sleep. Emma wrapped her arm around Regina and let her sleep. Emma had lost track of time and after a while she felt Regina wiggle and mumble something. Emma thought it was a nightmare and decided to wake Regina.

''Regina, wake up.'' Emma tried, now standing besides the couch lightly shaking Regina. Regina's eyes shot open en her body tensed up.

''It's okay.'' Emma said and she felt Regina's body relax.

''Thank you.'' Regina said and Emma walked to the kitchen to make some tea.

"Nightmare?" Emma asked and Regina nodded. Emma gave her a cup of tea and sat down next to her in silent.

"Aren't you gonna ask me what that was about?" Regina asked surprised. Normally Emma would immediately ask her what happened.

"No because you'll tell me when you're ready." Emma smiled and Regina stood up. .

''Do you want to talk?'' Emma asked.

''You keep asking me but do you want to talk?'' Regina asked.

''Me?'' Emma asked confused.

''Yes. I've talked about my past but I've never heard you talk about yours.'' Regina said.

''Okay. What would you like to know?'' Emma asked.

''I don't know, anything you'd like to share.'' Regina said.

''Well I grew up in the foster system. I was in a really nice home until I was five.'' Regina saw Emma smile at the thought.
''But then they got pregnant and didn't have space or money for me so I was sent back.'' Emma's smile disappeared as quickly as it came and Regina felt really bad. After all it was her curse that cause Emma to grow up this way.
''I bounced from foster home to foster home but unfortunally they were all bad ones. When I was 15 I knew no one would take me so I ran away and here I am now.'' Emma said and looked at Regina.

''I'm sorry.'' Regina said.

''No, no I didn't mean it like that. Look, growing up in the system, it was bad but I do have some great momeries. Besides if anything had been different we wouldn't be here and Henry probably wouldn't be here either.'' Emma told her.

''If I hadn't been so obsessed with revenge you could have grown up with your parents and not in the system.'' Regina said guilty.

''So your turn, tell me anything?'' Emma asked.

''Maybe we could eh- pick up Henry? I know your mom said she would bring him home but I thought maybe we could- I don't know, do something together?'' Regina asked, ignore Emma's question.

''Sure. I'd like that.'' Emma said. Ignoring the fact that Regina didn't answer her. Together they made their way to Henry's school.

''Hi, is something wrong?'' Mary Margaret asked when she saw both Emma and Regina walk into the school.

''No everything is fine, we just wanted to pick up Henry to do something nice.'' Emma told her.

''We're almost done.'' Mary Margaret said and she finished her lesson.

''Moms, what are you doing here?'' Henry asked as soon as he left the classroom.

''We wanted to do something together.'' Emma said.

''Awesome! So what are we going to do?'' Henry asked.

''We thought maybe some ice cream and a walk through the park?'' Emma suggested.

''Yes.'' Henry said excited and they walked away from the school.

After they had gotten ice cream they walked through the park.

''Can I ask something?'' Henry asked.

''Of course dear.'' Regina said and they sat down on a bench.

''Do you think- will we ever find Greg?'' Henry asked.

''Are you afraid he's coming after you?'' Regina asked him.

''No, I'm afraid he'll come after you.'' Henry said honest.

''Henry.'' Regina pleaded. ''Whatever happenes, I'll be alright as long as you are safe.'' Regina added.

''And since I'm not going to let both of you get hurt. You will both be fine.'' Emma said and she put her arm around Henry's shoulder.

''Thanks mom.'' Henry said and he wrapped his arm around Emma.

''Ready to go home? I'm sure you have some homework to do.'' Emma said. Henry nodded and they walked back to Emma's appartment. As soon as they were inside Henry ran upstairs to do homework and David and Mary Margaret walked into the room.

''Hi, you guys were away for quite a long time.'' Mary Margaret stated.

''I guess we lost track of time.'' Emma said. Regina stood awkwardly next to Emma. She wasn't sure what to do or say. She still didn't feel very comfortable around Mary Margaret and David since, after all, she tried to kill them and there used to be a lot of hate between them.
