I'm going on a writing binge. Yikes. Prompt for this chapter is from .Br "snow catching then in awkward situation Emma complain about it and then they catch snow and David"

Emma Swan did not regret many things in her life. But giving Snow a key to the mansion? That was probably a mistake.

It was to be used for emergencies only, and Emma was pretty sure that needing cookies for her class wasn't an emergency. At least not in Emma's book.

Snow needed the cookies because she had planned a trivia game that day, but hadn't had time to bake any while taking care of Neal so David could work his shift. She had knocked on the door of the mansion, but no one had answered.

"Hello?" Snow called, opening the door. "Anybody home?" No one responded, so Snow headed upstairs towards Regina and Emma's bedroom. Maybe they were taking a nap.

"Emma?" Snow called. "Regina?" Still, no response. Arriving at the door to Emma and Regina's room, Snow slowly opened it.

Emma and Regina were sitting on the bed, blanket over them both like a fort, watching Sesame Street. "What are you doing?" Snow asked, laughing.

Regina and Emma jumped and turned to the door, where Snow was trying to hide her laughter. "You watch Sesame Street when Neal's not here?" she asked.

"He's too little to understand anyway," Emma mumbled. "Someone might as well enjoy it."

Snow laughed before glancing at Regina. "I can't believe that you got the Evil Queen to watch a show meant for kids under the age of 6."

"Shut up," Regina growled. Snow laughed again before leaving the room. She decided that getting cookies wasn't worth the argument. The kids would just have to be okay with candy from the gas station.


"That was mortifying," Emma groaned. "My mother just caught us watching a toddler's show without a toddler present."

Regina laughed. "It could have been worse. There are worse things that she could have caught us doing." She winked at Emma.

Emma laughed. "Good point," she said. "But still. She abused her key power. Maybe I should ask for it back."

Regina shook her head. "No, that won't teach her anything."

"Since when are we trying to teach her a lesson?" Emma asked. "Not that I mind or anything."

"She walked into our house for no reason at all. She never told us what she actually wanted. So my guess is that she came for something that wasn't even an emergency," Regina said.

Emma smiled. Sometimes being wicked was much for fun than being good.


Emma still had a key to Snow and David's apartment from when she had lived there, so Emma used that to unlock the door. She knew that they were both home because Emma was supposed to be at the station, and school was out for the day.

The TV was playing as Emma opened the door and snuck inside with Regina behind her. "Mom?" Emma called. "Dad?"

No one answered, so the women walked farther into the apartment, closing the door behind them. They walked towards the TV, and stopped at what they saw. Neal was taking a nap on a blanket on the floor while Snow and David both watched Sesame Street.

"Aha!" Emma said. Snow and David both jumped and turned to see Emma and Regina standing behind them, laughing.

"What are you doing here?" Snow asked. Emma just held up her key.

"Look like we're not the only ones who watch Neal's shows when he's not watching," Regina teased. Snow and David blushed.

"I'll trade you keys," Snow said. She reached into her pocket and pulled out Regina and Emma's house key. Snow and Emma exchanged keys.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Emma said. She grabbed Regina's hand before poofing them home.

"Lesson taught?" Regina asked.

"Lesson taught," Emma agreed.
