Things felt very different in the morning. Emma winced at the light pouring through the window. Did all of that really happen? She sat up and took in her surroundings. She was in the spare room in Regina's house. Shit. It was all real.
That kiss.
Emma smiled to herself and flicked her phone on to check the time. Crap. 10 missed calls and more than twice that unanswered texts. All from her parents. Nothing from Killian. Crap. She realised she was going to have to deal with him sooner or later but the radio silence scared her a little.
Emma decided a shower here didn't feel like a good idea. After last night, she had no intention of being undressed in Regina's house so she quickly changed back into the clothes she had been wearing last night (Regina's clothes!) and walked downstairs. Regina was in the kitchen cooking.
"Morning,"
Emma decided for fake casualness and adopted a relaxed expression like last night had never happened. Regina glanced over her shoulder, surveyed the situation and followed suit. "I made eggs."
She dished scrambled eggs and toast onto two plates and they both dug in hungrily. They had never gotten back to the food last night, finding each other's company too distracting.
Halfway through her food, Emma looked up. Guilty to have only just noticed what was wrong. "Where's Henry?"
"It's a Monday. He's on his way to school."
Emma checked her phone. "It's still early."
Regina looked at her plate. "I dropped him off at the Charming's so David could drive him."
Emma nodded. "So... you spoke to my parents?"
"Yeah. They are not my biggest fans right now."
"Hook?"
"Wasn't there. Or at least, I didn't see him." Regina looked up at Emma. "Are you going to speak to him?"
Emma knew how little Regina valued herself but Emma wouldn't kiss her and then pretend it had never happened. "Yes, Regina. I'll talk to him today."
"What are you going to say?"
This did stump Emma. "I- I'm not sure." There was a minute of awkward silence. "What about you? What are you going to do? We need to do something about the queen."
Regina fully looked up, confident now they were back to business. "I'm going to speak to Gold. I thought I had killed her which means there's some loophole to that diving potion."
Emma nodded thoughtfully.
Regina stood up and dumped their plates in the sink. "I'll drive you to your parents on my way to Gold's."
Emma frowned, "It's not on your way. And I have my car out front."
Regina smirked. "And then who would make you go inside?"
Emma sighed. She didn't want to go but she had to and having someone to make sure she went in was probably good.
