Emma leaned against the island with a bottle of Bud in her hand as she watched Eve, Henry and Eve's 'friends' run around the living room squealing in delight as they were chased by Eve's new German/Australian Shepherd mix puppy, Swan.

"You're getting her a dog?" Ruby asked slightly shocked when Emma pulled up outside a pet shop, Emma just smiled,

"She wants a dog, and I think I 'd feel more safe knowing we have a dog as well as an alarm system" Emma said as she unbuckled her belt and got out.

"OH MY GOOODD" Ruby squealed as she cradled a mini Yorkshire Terrier, Emma chuckled at her, she was about to walk over when something caught her eye, over in the corner in a pen was the most beautiful puppy Emma had ever seen, he had the marking and the colour of a German Shepherd but he had the body and the facial features of an Aussie, Emma really couldn't help the small sequel that came out as she approached and it started to wag it's tail and circle the pen,

"Hi there little guy" Emma said as she kneeled down in front of the pen, the puppy ran to the edge and hoisted itself up, it leaned close enough to Emma and licked up her face, Emma couldn't help the giggle, she smiled and scratched behind his ear, the puppy's tail wagging, Emma didn't notice the tall brown hair boy standing behind her with a uniform on,

"Can I help you?" He said when Emma finally noticed him,

"Yeah, eh, how much for this guy?" Emma asked as she lifted the, surprisingly light, puppy into her arms, he put his paws on her shoulder and started to lick madly at her face, Emma tried to move her face away but couldn't move it far enough from the mad tongue,

"He likes you, he is usually quite nervous, this is the first time I've seen him so, excited"

"He's cute, what is he, exactly?" Emma asked, looking at him,

"He's a German Shepherd mixed with an Australian Shepherd, quite a unique mix" he said,

"Ok, how much?" Emma asked.

"I still can't believe you bought her a dog Emma, that's like, so cool" Henry said as he came skipping over to her, Emma smiled at him,

"Oh it is, is it?" Emma asked with her eyebrow raised and a small smile as she looked at Regina, Regina set her glass of wine down and gave her a warning look, Emma smirked before looking at Henry, "maybe if you ask you Mommy, she might get you one" Emma said, Henry smiled and ran off in Regina's direction. Emma chuckled when Regina sent her a death glare a few minutes later when Henry had ran off to join Eve and Swan once more,

"So she called him after you? Mr Swan?" Regina joked a few minutes later when she joined Emma, Emma looked at her and stuck out her tongue,

"Oh ha, ha, no his name is simply Swan, after me" Emma said rather proudly.

"IT'S A PUPPY!" Eve squealed with delight when she unwrapped the box and the little puppy shot out and started to lick at Eve's face, the entire room went "awe" at the giggling of Eve, the puppy had climbed out onto Eve and when she moved, it climbed up her as best he could to get near her face,

"Ok buddy, enough of the kisses" Emma said as she lifted him into her own arms, Eve was still giggling and looked at Emma,

"What his name?" Eve asked,

"What IS his name" Emma corrected, she was met with a glare from Eve and bit her lip, she cleared her throat, "Well ,he doesn't have one, that's your job" Emma said as she sat down beside Eve with the puppy in her lap, "got any ideas?" Emma asked,

"I wanna call him Swan" Eve said seriously, Emma looked at her,

"Eh, Swan?" Emma asked slightly confused, Eve looked at her and smiled,

"I can't call him Mommy, because you're my Mommy, but you're called Swan" Eve said as id it was the most obvious thing in the entire world, everyone smiled sweetly at the small tear that fell from Emma's eye.

"So eh, fancy having that talk now?" Emma asked slightly uncomfortable, Regina looked at her,

"Yes, that would be nice" Regina said, she filled up her glass, but decided to also take the bottle with her, she knew that one glass wouldn't be enough. They made their way out to the back yard and took a seat on the hammock.

"So" Emma said, slightly uncomfortable,

"May I start?" Regina asked, Emma looked at her and smiled, she nodded her head and Regina smiled before taking a deep breath, "I just want to say that I am sorry, for whatever I said or did that made you walk out on me…" Regina was stopped when Emma's hand landed on hers,

"Gina, please believe me when I say that you done NOTHING to make me walk out on you, it was, just the way you said my name, it brought back memories that I've tried to forget, but one way or another, they just keep coming back" Emma said with a dry laugh that made the hairs on the back of Regina's neck stand up, she turned her hand over and linked her fingers with Emma's before squeezing,

"I am know to be a very good listener" Regina said as ran her thumb over the back of Emma's hand, Emma looked at her, she saw the sincerity in Regina's eyes and couldn't help but smile while squeezing Regina's hand.
