The gang are stranded in Neverland thanks to Peter Pan. Set when Snow and David confront the issues of David having to stay on the island unaware that Emma is listening in. When the conversation gets tough a certain brunette is on hand to offer a hug. (No Henry in this version. Pan was just mean. Also at this point Emma and Regina are good friends and have flirted a lot.)
A Moment
Once Emma had retrieved Pan's shadow with no help what so ever from Neal or Hook, she walks back to the camp that they had made while figuring a way to leave Neverland. The blonde spotted her parents in the near distance and heads over pushing some branches and leaves out of her path.
"Emma will be okay David..I do not like the idea of leaving her as much as you but I cannot leave you here"
Emma frowns and shifts next to a tree glancing in their direction.
David sighs. "I do not want you to strand yourself on this island because of something I have done..you have a life back in Storybrooke"
Mary Margaret shakes her head teary. "My life is with you and what I said before can still happen"
David frowns at the statement. "What do you mean?"
"A baby David? We can start over here"
Emma looks shocked and leans back against the tree feeling a familiar emotion she constantly got growing up in the system. Lost. Unwanted.
Having seen the trio return to camp, Regina watches from her cot at Emma standing by the tree. Noticing the look that appears on the blonde's face, the brunette grows concerned and stands up to head over. "Emma?"
Emma sniffles and turns away to wipe her tears before looking at the brunette. "Yeah?"
Regina raises an eyebrow. "Emma what's wrong?" Reaching out she strokes the blonde's arm. The blonde shakes her head then gestures over to her parents. Regina looks over catching their conversation.
"Snow..I don't think.."
"Yes David! This is our chance to start again! a family like we always wanted..a baby like we always wanted"
"But..Emma"
Snow takes a breath. "Emma is a grown woman..she will understand, she doesn't need us not like we want her too and we..can never get our baby girl back..that time has gone"
Regina glares feeling her anger rise trying her hardest to not create a fireball. Emma glances over teary. "We need to get off this island..I can't listen to anymore of this"
The brunette looks back and pulls her into a hug. The blonde sinks into her surprised at the public display the former queen is offering. "...Thank you"
Regina smiles slightly. "anytime..besides it was either me or one of those knuckleheads over there"
Emma laughs a little against her shoulder. Regina chuckles herself and rubs the blonde's back. "You should try and laugh more"
The blonde raises an eyebrow. "Coming from you?"
Regina shrugs. "Okay I will try if you do"
Emma smiles finding it odd how this form of affection does not feel uncomfortable or dragged out. "It's true..what you said about Neal and Hook. I am glad it's you"
The brunette pulls back a moment and moves a blonde curl behind Emma's ear with a soft look. "Sometimes we all need a moment..or a hug"
Emma looks at her. "Or a kiss?"
Regina looks shocked at her words but does not get time to respond finding the blonde's lips latch onto hers. The brunette kisses back with a smile and keeps Emma close as the blonde guides her around the tree and out of sight.
The only noise that could be heard was a bottle drop. A rum bottle belonging to Hook as he was in the midst of sharing his rum with Neal. Both guys staring in shock at what they had witnessed.
