Chapter 21

Emmett hopped in the shower for a quick wash. He got out, dried himself, and headed to his bedroom. He picked out his dark wash jeans and a white wife beater. He went out to the boxes that were still in the living room. He took out some dress shirts, not knowing which on to pick.

"You should choose that blue one" a voice said from the dining table. He turned to find Mary Margaret sitting with a mug of hot chocolate in front of her.

"Hey MM" he said with a smile "How are you?" he picked up the blue shirt and put it on

"I'm fine." She said "David got out today"

"That's good" Emmett said as he buttoned his shirt up

"Yeah" she said hesitantly

"What's wrong?"

"Well the doctor said that it was best that he be in a familiar place for now"

"So he moved in with Kathryn" Emmett finished for her. She nodded.

"Mary Margaret, there is nothing wrong with that. They were divorced and that happened for a reason"

"You are right. It's just- I just got him and I don't want to lose him"

"Oh so he made a move already"

"Well… no"

"Then you did?"

"Nope" she said sadly

"What are you waiting for?" he said to her

"I don't know" She shrugged her shoulders "I guess for him to make the move"

"MM, it's the 21st century. Take a chance and make a move before he completely slips from your fingers" he advised her. He wanted to help her get the man she had crazily fallen in love with in the past few days. I was important for him and he didn't know why, but he didn't question it. He followed his gut.

Mary Margaret stood up and smiled at him "you are right" she hugged him. Emmett isn't one for any physical contact but he couldn't deny her a hug. It felt motherly and warm. The short-haired brunette let go of him and fixed his collar

"So, are you going to talk about this date?" she asked. Emmett rolled his eyes

"It's not a date. Just dinner with Regina and Henry"

"Just dinner?" she rose her eyebrow suspiciously

"Yes, just dinner"

"Okay. Whatever you say bud" she rose her hands up in surrender "tuck in your shirt, put a belt on, and make sure your shoes are clean"

"Yea mom" Emmett teased as he followed all her directions

"See? That wasn't too hard" MM said from the kitchen when she saw him heading towards the door. Emmett stuck his tongue out at her. "Real mature Swan" she muttered

"Bye MM" he yelled out "make you move!"

"Bye Em" she yelled back "good luck on your date" and all she heard was the door closed and a hearty laugh.

Emmett decided to stop by the Games of Thorns to get a single red rose. When he arrived to the Mayor's house he checked the time. 5:55. Perfect he got out of the car and rang the doorbell.

Regina glanced up at the clock. She had everything ready to make the lasagna tonight. She finished up and left her office. When she got home she found Henry in his room doing his homework.

"Hey mom" he greeted, not lifting his head

"Hi Henry" she said "how was school?"

He shrugged "school was school"

Regina knew this was all she was going to get "ok sweetheart, I'm going to start dinner. Be ready for when your father comes"

"kay"

She went to the kitchen and started dinner. She put the pan in the oven and when to change. She decided keep her black pencil skirt and change her shirt to the blue one she recently bought. She touched up her makeup and headed downstairs. She had just reached the last step when the doorbell rang. She glanced at the time and smiled at herself. She headed towards the door and opened.

"Hello Deputy" she said, unknowingly smiling "you are just in time"

"Yeah, well I learned some time ago not to be late with you"

"Please come in" she opened the door fully and let Emmett in.
