Regina was able to go home, shower, get ready, and make it to work in an hour. Which was impressive for someone who was such a big perfectionist. When Regina finally made it to the office, her mother was waiting for her with a very pissed off look on her face.

With her normal flare, Cora said "And where have you been? I have called your house phone at least ten times!"

"Good morning to you too Mother."

"Morning! No Regina this is afternoon. Apparently you blew off your morning of work."

Regina sighed, "I'm sorry Mother, I just overslept."

"Well I hope you enjoyed you extra hours of sleep because you are going to need them, we have several meetings and a lot of paperwork to get done. Go get started and maybe you will be able to leave before midnight.

Regina groaned. "This is why I never sleep in! I hate having to play catch up." She grumbled all the way up to her office. As soon as Regina walked into her office, she groaned again. There was a mountain of papers on her desk just waiting to be filled out. "I guess Mother was right, I'm in for a long day."

Regina made it through three meetings and about half of the mountain of paperwork before she broke. She need a pick-me-up and she knew exactly how to get one.

"Hey!"

Emma was pulling out some apple muffins from the oven when her phone beeped. She quickly put the muffins down and moved them to the cooling rack, as she read the simple message from Regina she smiled.

"Hey beautiful :)"

With those two simple words, Regina's day became ten times better.

"How come you always know what to say?"

"I just said hey..."

"I know but it was what I needed."

Emma smiled, "Bad day at the office?"

"Yeah, I came in late and I'm behind on my work. It's just stressful."

"Aww I'm sorry!"

"It's not your fault Emma."

"I know but still..." Then Emma remembered the muffins she just got out and smiled at her thought.

"Hey Regina... What is your offices address?"

"Why do you need that?"

"Because I just do."

"Well alright. We are on the corner of west 28th street and 5th avenue." Regina burrowed her brow in confusion. "I wonder what Emma is up too..."

"Awesome! Thanks!"

"You're welcome dear."

"Alright I need to go! I've got pies coming out of the oven that needs my attention. Text me later, you'll know when ;)"

"Ok dear, talk to you later!"

Regina frowned. "That was a short conversation. I guess Emma is just as busy as me. Back to work. Joy." Regina cracked her knuckles and picked up her pen to fill out another form.

About an hour later Regina heard a knock on her door. She looked up and yelled, "Come in!"

In walked a delivery boy. He cleared his throat and said in a bored tone, "are you Regina Mills?"

"That's me."

"Sign for this please."

Regina stood up and walked over to the boy and sighed for what looked like a package.

"Here ya go lady." He turned around and walked out.

Regina took the package back to her desk and sat down. It was just a normal looking package with her name and address written on it, no return address. She opened it and her office was filled with the smell of apples. It was apple muffins. On top was a note.

'Apparently I have this wonderful, amazing, apple-loving lady on my mind. I have made apple everything today. From apple pie, to apple cider, I even tried apple cookies(they didn't turn out right, so don't ask about those). So I was making these muffins when you texted me. I thought you could use a little pick-me-up. So here you go! Some muffins for the lovely Miss Mills. Enjoy! Emma.'

Regina sat in her chair, frozen. "I can't believe she did that for me. No one has ever been that nice to me just for the sake of being nice! Oh Emma you are such an amazing person." She shook herself out of her thinking and reached for a muffin. They were better than the last muffins she had! "How can she bake this well?!" Regina smiled, "and she did it just for me." Regina took out her phone and texted Emma.

"You are amazing."

"So I guess you got your package?"

"Yes! And it just made my day. You have no idea what this means to me."

"I just wanted to do something nice for my girlfriend. It was simple."

"It was anything but simple! You knew I wasn't having the best of days so you sent me homemade muffins to make me feel better!"

"Well, yeah! I don't want you to be unhappy..."

Regina gasped. "She did that just so I would be happy? Emma Swan you are something else." Regina replied with a huge smile on her face, "You are so..."

"I'm so...? What?"

"Wonderful, amazing, beautiful, perfect and so many more things."

"Haha thanks but I'm pretty sure that you just described you not me."

"Oh no Dear you are not getting out of this one, you are all of those things and so much more!"

"Alright alright, I'll accept it even though I know we are talking about you."

Regina laughed. "She can't take a compliment can't she? Well I can't really say anything."

"Good. Thank you for the package. It was lovely."

"Anytime beautiful :) now get back to work! I want you home before midnight young lady! Haha"

"You are such an idiot."

"Yep but I'm your idiot now!"

"That you are."

Regina smiled at the thought of Emma being her idiot. "She is my idiot! I have an idiot and I'm happy with that. I hope she will be my idiot forever." Regina smiled at the thought of having Emma forever. Then Cora rushed into her office.

"What was that smile for? And where did these muffins come from? If you always eat like this you are going to get fat Regina. Anyway, I need those reports I asked for hours ago."

"I'm sorry Mother." Regina moved the muffins off the the side, and began to shift her mind into work mode. Within minutes Regina was completely engrossed in her work.
