I got a request from Erikalele07 for some Emma and Neal bonding time. So here it is!

"Are you sure that you'll be okay?" Snow asked. "I don't want to just leave him here if you're not fine with it."

"I told you that it was fine," Emma said, smiling as Neal sat on the floor in front of her playing with some of Henry's old toys. Bless Regina for keeping them.

"Okay," Snow said reluctantly. "Be safe. Have fun."

"Bye mommy!" Neal said excitedly. "I'm gonna play with Emma!"

Emma laughed before kissing the top of his head and lowering herself to the floor in front of him. "Yes you are. And we're going to have lots of fun."

"Uh huh," Neal agreed, making two toy dinosaurs fight.

"No no honey," Snow said, pulling the two dinosaurs apart. "There's no fighting, remember? We play nicely."

"But Emma let's me," Neal pouted.

"She does?" Snow asked, turning to Emma.

"He's a little boy," Emma said. "It's entirely normal."

Snow sighed. "Fine. Just nothing too violent."

Emma rolled her eyes. "Yes ma'am. Now go! You have a very important date with your husband. Shoo."

Snow chuckled before leaving the mansion, giving Emma and Neal the night alone. Henry was spending the night out with a group of friends, and Regina was off stalking him and making sure that he wasn't doing anything illegal.

"So what're we going to do?" Emma asked. "We have the whole night to ourselves."

"Candy!" Neal said, smiling at Emma.

Emma laughed and ruffled his hair. "No can do kiddo. I was specifically forbidden to let you have anything sugary while you were here."

Neal sighed before lighting up. "Hide and Seek?"

Emma bit her lip. There were a lot of places in the mansion that Neal could get lost in. Then again, she could just poof herself to where he was. Maybe. "Okay," she agreed. "We can play Hide and Seek."

It had been 2 hours, and they were still playing Hide and Seek. Only, Emma had encountered a slight problem. In hiding from Neal, she had actually gotten herself stuck in Regina's apple tree.

"Emma!" Neal called, walking outside. "I tired of playing!"

"Me too kid," Emma mumbled. "Me too." She didn't want Neal to get upset, but she couldn't get down.

"Neal?" Regina asked, joining him outside. "Are you okay?"

"Gina!" Neal said excitedly, running to her.

Regina smiled before scooping him up. "What are you doing out here? Where's Emma?"

Neal shrugged. "She disappeared. We were playing Hide and Seek."

Regina looked around the backyard, stopping when she saw Emma sitting in her apple tree. She looked utterly helpless, but had too much pride to ask for help.

Chuckling, Regina sat Neal down. "Tell you what, you go back in and pick out a movie. I'll find her."

"With your magic?" Neal asked in awe.

Regina smiled and nodded. "With my magic."

"Will I get magic?" Neal asked. "Like you and Emma?"

"I don't know," Regina admitted. "Maybe. Now go inside and pick out your movie." Neal nodded before running inside.

Regina smirked before walking slowly to the base of her tree. "I seem to remember warning you before not to try climbing the tree."

"I never listen," Emma said. "You know that."

"I do," Regina agreed. "So I'm assuming that you would like to get down?"

"Very much so," Emma said.

"So you need…" Regina said, smirking.

"Regina," Emma whined.

"What do you need?" Regina asked.

Emma sighed and mumbled something about mean wives. "I need help."

"See?" Regina asked. "That wasn't so hard, now was it?"

Emma glared at her. Regina just laughed before poofing Emma out of the tree. "You could just poof yourself down."

"I need more practice," Emma said. "With my luck, I would poof myself to a whole different country."

Regina laughed again before grabbing her hand. "Come on. Your brother picked out a movie for us to watch."
