Later that Evening, Emma visits Henry with the guard following close behind.
"If Regina is there I am going to have to tell you mother" The guard tells her, as they reach the door.
Emma turns and looks at him.
"Please..its not like I am going to be getting up to anything with her is it?"
The guard ponders breifly and thinks that is true.
"Okay" he then says and Emma smiles.
"Thanks" she then turns and heads into the room where she see's Regina reading a book.
"Hey" Emma beams. "Am I interupting?" she then asks, looking between the pair.
Henry chuckles.
"You do not need to ask, you are the princess" he then says and Emma shakes her head.
"I've never wanted to be a princess" she confesses and goes to sit on the free chair next to Henry's bed.
"I find that hard to believe" Henry says curiously. "Why wouldn't you want to be a princess?" he then asks.
"Its not all what its cracked up to be" she sighs. "Im not that clever and would love to just be free to travel and do stuff like you and Regina can" she looks to Regina and smiles at her.
Henry frowns.
"Anyway. How are you feeling?" Emma asks, looking back to Henry.
"Better"
"Good" she smiles and then looks to the doorway where the guard is stood outside.
"I see you still have your shadow?" Henry chuckles, gesturing to the door.
"Yeah" she sighs.
"I am sure it won't be for long" Henry then says and Emma looks to Regina, whilst cupping her hands in her lap. She thinks Regina deserves so much more than this.
"I hope so..but I don't expect you to wait for me, as it could be a long time maybe even never if my mom carries on and I want you to be happy"
This makes Regina frown and she thinks why is Emma saying this.
"Don't be silly" Regina then says back to her and Emma looks down. "I know this isn't an ideal situation Emmah but I only want you okay?"
Emma looks back up at her and Henry smiles and says "All we have to do now is find a way to get your mother on side. Any ideas?" he looks between the pair, who look to him and Emma says "A miricle?" which causes Regina to roll her eyes.
The following day, after Emma has eaten Dinner with her parents she heads towards Henry's chamber once more with the guard following behind.
"Do you think this is wise princess?" he asks, as they walk.
"I am seeing how Henry is doing" she replies and he shakes his head.
"We both know it is also to see if Regina is there and what shall I say to your mother when I report to her?"
"Nothing. Say nothing please" she asks.
He frowns and says "I cannot lie to her princess"
Emma shakes her head and decides not to resply and heads straight into Henry's chamber. Seeing that Henry is asleep and Regina is reading to herself.
She then swallows thickly and moves to the free chair, picking it up and quietly walking around to sit next to Regina. Who is now looking at her wide eyed.
Emma then sits and looks to Henry and says "How is he?" quietly.
Regina blinks and puts her book onto the small table next to her and then says "He is feeling better. The medicine is helping"
"Im glad" she replies and then looks to Regina next to her and says "How are you?"
"I am okay but you shouldnt be here Emmah. Your mother.."
"I don't want to keep away from you" Emma then says seriusly "I miss you"
Regina smiles sadly.
"I have missed you too Emma" she then says softly and they look into eachothers eyes for a long moment. Before Regina reaches her hand up and touches Emma's cheek. Not knowing that Snow is walking down the corridor and the guard panics and goes towards her.
"Your majesty. The princess is just inquiring about Henry"
Snow narrows her eyes briefly.
"I thought I told you Emma is not aloud near Regina" she tells him. frustratedly.
"I know but I thought they cannot do anything with Henry there your majesty"
Snow then takes a deep breath and walks towards the chamber but pauses upon seeing her daughter and Regina sharing an intimate moment.
The moment is enough though to tell her that Regina is in love with her daughter. As the look Regina is giving Emma is the look David gives her and she continues to watch for a moment, before turning away and walking off leaving a confused guard standing in the corridor.
