~Emma's POV~

Henry and Hannah are happily riding ponies. They wave happily and I smile back. I take as many pictures as I can of them and freeze when I feel arms wrap around me from behind. What is up with her today? I don't know why, but all of my hate and past angers towards her evaporates. I guess it's because of the happy atmosphere. Regina sits her chin on my shoulder and watches the kids along with me.

"Aren't you supposed to be starting the contest?" I ask. She nods her head and I know because I can feel it on my shoulder.

"I need you to do something for me." She kisses my neck and releases me. She stands beside me and our eyes never leave the kids as we speak.

"Hola momma!" Henry yells.

"Hola Henry!" She smiles back.

"Momma? Can I have the pony? Mommy already said no." Hannah pouts.

"We'll see!" Regina says back to her. Hannah cheers thinking that's a yes.

"Really?!" I snap. She looks at me and shrugs as if she's unfazed.

"I've spoiled my little prince for four years. It's only fair that I spoil my princess."

"But with a pony?" I scoff.

"Calm down Mijah. I'll probably get her like a huge pony toy or something." Regina shrugs. I look at her and shake my head. "What?"

"Nothing. What is it that you want me to do?" I ask.

"We need one more person to play." She smiles at me with pleading eyes.

"Gina..." I whine.

"Now you definitely have to do it after calling me that." She winks.

"And what if I say no?"

"I am your boss' boss." She shrugs.

"Are you seriously blackmailing me?"

"I've been trying to do that ever since you stepped foot in town, but you're lucky that you have custody over Hannah." She rolls her eyes. I give her an uneasy look and she chuckles. "Fine, let's make a deal." I shrug and think for a moment.

"If I win...you spend the night this weekend." I smirk.

"And if you lose...you have to do what I say whenever I say for two weeks." I think about it for a moment. "Deal?" She asks with a smile. I nod and lean over she meets me halfway and pecks my lips.

"Deal." I smile with a goofy grin.

~Regina's POV~

"What are we doing?" I asked feeling confused. This whole night is just weird. She shrugs.

"Stop questioning things and just go with the flow." She sounds like a damn hippie. I grab her by the wrist and drag her towards the apple bobbing area. Emma looks so unsure. She frowns and gives a small smile as many people wave towards her.

"August! I found a partner for you." I yell over to him. August stands up from his barrel and waves at Emma. Emma gives a big smile.

"I think you've already lost the bet!" She walks over to August and gives him a big hug.

So, the teams consists of Ruby and Graham. I had no idea that Graham was here. Belle and Mary Margret, David and Killian, Geppetto and Archie, Zelena and Kat, and Emma and August.

"Are you guys ready?" I ask. Everyone nods with smiles. "On your Mark...get set...go!"

The crowd cheers as they watch the contest unfold. I have to admit that it's funny. Archie has a hard time seeing because he doesn't have his glasses on and to top it off, his makeup is running. Kat's wig fell in the water and Zelena toppled over in hysteria. Ruby, Graham, August, and Emma are doing perfectly fine. At least if Emma wins she'll have apple cider waiting for me when I spend the night. Yum! The crowd cheers on the two teams that only have a few apples left. The lesser the apples, the harder it gets.

"This is sooo hard!" Emma whines.

"Keep going!" August nudges her. They have five left and Ruby's team has three. August successfully bobs another apple and Emma bobs another, making the teams tied. Ruby and Graham comes up with a plan. He nudges the apples her way so she can quickly grab them between her teeth. They are now down to one.

Then August and Emma does the most funniest thing. They meet halfway with an apple and then use their noses to lifted out of the water together. Despite their good efforts, Ruby and Graham ends up winning.

"We have our winners!" Sydney announces. Everyone claps their hands. I hand the prizes over.

"What is it?" Ruby asks. "Tell me it's your apple cider!" She beams.

"Si. A few to be exact." She gives me a shockingly surprising hug, one which I nervously return. I look over her shoulder at Emma and the blonde just shrugs in confusion.

"Are the pies ready?" I ask Rubyd. She nods. I decided to let the pie eating contest be a team effort as well. Emma seems to be in game mode so she happily enters that contest as well.

"Pick your partners!" I announce.

"Hannah! Get your butt over here!" Emma calls out. Her choice surprises everybody.

"PIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" She screams happily. I walk over with a frown.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" I ask. Emma nods her head vigorously.

"We've been waiting for this all day. We haven't eaten a thing. Hannah won a hot dog eating contest and ate 35 hotdogs." My eyes widen and I look at her.

"I love food." She simply states.

"Okay..." I say in an unsure tone. Sydney counts down for the contest to begin. "If she get's sick I will kill you." I whisper to Emma. She rolls her eyes as I step back and watch them begin eating. I feel for Hanna's little belly, but she and Emma finishes one pie in two minutes. That has to be some world record or something. Kat hands them another pie and they dig in.

"They are like endless pits." Ashley chuckles beside me I laugh.

"Alexander and David aren't doing so bad either." I smile. Ashley shakes her head.

"One more pie and he's done." I watch as Hannah takes a little sip of water like she's a master eater or something and shoves a handful in her mouth. Everyone seems to be on their fourth pie but Hannah and Emma are two pies ahead.

"Gooo Hannah! Hannah, Hannah, Hannah!" Neal, Alex, and Henry cheers. Hannah waves at them and then smiles at me. I encourage her to keep going and she shoves more pie in her face. Emma laughs almost choking. They then take a small break.

"Still hungry?" Emma asks and rub her back. She shrugs and looks down.

"Two more." She concludes. Emma agrees before she finishes the last drop of the pie they were already on. I don't understand how they are doing it. The thing is, Emma hates pumpkin pie, but she's eating it like it's cinnamon.

"Times up!" Sydney yells. All the contestants hold up their hands in surrender. Kat counts how many pies each team ate.

"David and Alexander ate 6..." she says aloud. I know Hannah and Emma won but I'm still anxious to hear the announcement.

"Hannah and Emma ate 11!" Hannah does a happy dance on the table as the crowd cheers. She's like a new child prodigy in this town.

I turn to Henry and kneel down. He looks at me and I hand over the prize to him. "Do you want to give this to your sister?" I ask. He nods with a big smile and takes it from me. I watch as his little body runs over to Hannah and hands her the gift basket. She hugs him and kisses his cheek. Everyone awes. I look towards Emma and I frown. Shit! I mumble to myself. I run over to her and grab her by the wrist, dragging her behind the nearest tree. I pull her hair away and she topples over, throwing up every single pie she ate.

"Looks like I was worried about the wrong person." She laughs but then throws up some more.

"God I hate pumpkin pie!" She gags.

"Why did you eat it then dear?" I ask. She shrugs.

"I couldn't let Hannah down." Emma throws up again. The most I can do is rub soothing circles on her back.

"Regina?" I hear my mother speak softly from behind me. I look over my shoulder to see her grimacing. "I need assistance with something." My mother orders.

"Can't you see I'm doing something?" I snap. The anger in me begins to bubble just a little bit.

"She's a big girl. She can take care of herself. She shouldn't have entered the contest or push herself too far for that matter. I'm disgusted that she even let my granddaughter eat so—"

"UUGGHHHHHHH! Do you ever stop thinking about yourself for once?!" I yell. My mother glares at me and grits her teeth.

"That is no way to talk to your mother!" She scoffs. Emma finally stands straight and leans against the tree. She forces her hand in my fist and rubs soft circles on the back of my hand.

"Are you together again?!" She grimaces. Before I can say anything Emma cuts me off.

"Yes. Is that a problem Cora?" She asks confidently.

"Yes, it definitely is." My mother frowns and begins to glare at Emma.

"Look. I suggest you fix your act. I'm sick of you terrorizing Regina and I definitely don't want my kids around you, so if you keep this up, I'll make sure they forget you ever existed." Emma threatens and she is so serious by the tone of her voice. My mother's breath hitches and she's taken aback by Emma's tone. She huffs and stomps away.

"Thank you." I mumble and rest my head on her shoulder.

"The best part is...I won a gift card to Granny's." She laughs. I roll my eyes and we begin walking back towards the huge crowd.
