Hey there you guys, I once again would like to apologize for the delay. It's very good to be back and I hope to keep on writing and also that you all like the story, review and follow the next ones that are coming. So, let's put some drama in it.
As time went on, Emma and Regina started seeing each other every chance they had. They'd come up with fake reunions on Regina's office to discuss the "paperwork" along with long nights of hard work. At least that's what they had said. Regina got to see Henry a lot more than before, and she was very happy for it. Emma was happy just to see Regina happy. That's all she wanted.
Snow and Charming, though, were not getting used to seeing Regina so often at their home. Sometimes she would come over for dinner and say things only Emma could understand, which started to seem that they were getting along way too much.
"Emma, can I ask you a question?" Snow finally decided to ask after almost 5 weeks since they started seeing each other secretly.
"Yeah, sure, what is it?"
"Why are you so close to Regina recently? I mean, you used to act like you hated her and now you just seem like best friends. Making internal jokes, going out for dinner or lunch, going out with Henry... Don't get me wrong, it's just really weird for me that you are spending so much time with her"
"She's changed. She's a good person now. I just wanted to get to know her. As Regina, not the Evil Queen, after all she's the mother of my child. She raised him so well and only now I can see her real personality."
"Yeah, I can understand that. When I met Regina, she was a real good person, but then everything happened with Daniel and Cora.. All that had made her heart get dark. She was a very nice young lady. I just don't want you to get hurt, or Henry, after all that's why he's living here and not there, isn't it?"
Emma started wondering, trying to feel how much Regina wished that Henry moved back with her. "Yeah, that's why..."
"What are you thinking, Emma? Please don't tell me that you are considering letting him move in with her again" Snow got a kind of rude but worried tone on.
"No, I was just thinking how much it must be hard for her. She raised him, after all. She was used to having him around and we just took him away. What would you feel if suddenly someone took me away from here? I get that you did not raise me, but I have been living here for like four years. It would be difficult wouldn't it?"
"Yes, I can see your point. The only thing that I am afraid of is that she decides to turn evil again and hurts Henry."
"She wouldn't do that!" Emma said, then realizing that the neighbor on the floor above must have heard it, the loud she said it. "I trust her."
"And that's why I asked that question. What did she do to make you trust her that much?"
"I... Nothing, I just can see she is being honest this time."
The door opened and Henry got in. "Hey mom, what are you screaming about?"
"Hey kid. Sorry, was I screaming? I was just having a conversation with Snow. Go change, lunch is ready."
Emma couldn't stop thinking about how Regina probably felt about Henry living with the woman she hated most of her life. "Hey honey" she said when Regina answered the phone after two times she tried to call and got no response.
"Hello Miss Swan. I can't talk now, I have work to do. Goodbye." She said, hanging up.
For the rest of the day Emma tried to reach her, but got no answer. It was weird for her to be ignored by Regina. That night, once again she tried to contact her, but it didn't even ring, her phone was off. So she decided to go to the brunette's house. Once she got there, the door was open, so she called for her: "Regina? Are you down here?" And when she got no answer, she decided to hold her gun up, only for assurance. "Regina?" She tried again, heading upstairs. Her bedroom door was closed and when Emma forced the knob, she found out it was locked. So, technically, Regina was inside. But what should Emma do now? Force herself in or call for her? Thinking fast enough, she went for the first option, having the door open in a couple of seconds with the help of her shoulder.
Regina was actually there. Her and Robin.
