So, this is the first chapter based off of something in my life. My sweetheart and I send selfies to each other everyday, ending the night with seeing each other one last time. I know, we're cute :) Enjoy!

No one knew about Emma and Regina's relationship. And it was killing Regina. She wanted to be able to shout from the town clock for the entire town to hear that she loved Emma Swan.

But she couldn't. Snow and David had no idea that they were even talking to each other, let alone dating. Secretly.

They had found a way to be with each other at night without actually being there. Once Emma had convinced Regina that a cell phone was actually necessary, she had showed her the art of taking a selfie. In no time at all, they were sending them all the time.

But Regina's favorites were the ones they sent right before they both went to sleep each night. She would lie on her side, and Emma would lie on hers, and they would both send a selfie to the other.

It was like they were lying by each other. And that was all that Regina needed to make her happy.

She smiled as her phone went off, indicating that a text had come through. She and Emma were both at work, but it didn't matter. Sometimes all you needed was to see the person you loved to get through your day.

The selfie was of Emma in the middle of eating her breakfast of her typical bearclaw. Regina smiled at the picture before taking one of her own.

Emma sent one back with a pout of her face, captioned with "I hate paperwork". Regina smiled and went to take her own selfie to send back when the door opened.

"What are you doing?" Snow asked. "Why are you smiling at your phone like that?"

"There was something funny on there," Regina said, setting it down. "Is there a reason that you walked into my office uninvited?"

"I wanted to talk to you about Emma," Snow said. "She's been different lately. Sleeping less, smiling all of the time. We think she might be in love."

"Really?" Regina asked, feigning innocence. "And why would I care?"

"Because she's not going to tell us who it is," Snow said. "But she'll tell you. You're pretty close friends, right?"

Regina nodded, jumping as her phone went off. She forgot that Emma got impatient when she didn't send a selfie back within several seconds.

"Why is Emma texting you to hurry up and send a picture before she just comes over and takes it herself?" Snow asked. "Take a picture of what?"

Regina thought quickly to find something to cover this up that would be believable. "I need to send her a picture of my paperwork. So she knows how I want it done."

"Oh," Snow said. "Sorry for getting in your way. We can talk another time."

Regina sighed in relief as Snow closed the door behind her. And then she sent Emma a selfie.

"What are you doing?" Snow asked, walking into Emma's room.

"Jeez!" Emma exclaimed, dropping her phone onto her bed. "I know I don't have a door, but at least knock on the wall or something before you start speaking."

Snow smiled. "Sorry."

"I was taking a picture," Emma said.

"Of what?" Snow asked.

"My face," Emma said. "It's called a selfie. It's a way for people to see each other without actually being in the same place."

"Interesting," Snow said. "I saw Regina doing the same thing this morning." She went to go back downstairs before freezing. This was a town of fairytale characters. No one knew what a selfie was except for Henry and Emma. And whom did Henry and Emma spend a lot of time around?

"Are you and Regina sending pictures to each other?" Snow asked, turning to face Emma.

Emma looked like a deer in headlights. "I, um…"

"You are!" Snow exclaimed. "She's who you've been staying up late talking to. She's why you're so happy all of a sudden. You're in love with Regina."

Emma nodded. "Very much so."

Snow smiled. "And she loves you too. That's wonderful."

Emma looked at her in surprise. "It is?"

"Of course," Snow said. "All I want is for you to be happy. As long as you're happy, I'm happy. And I'd say that you're pretty happy right now."

Emma smiled. "Yeah, you could say that."

"You know, we could mess with her," Snow said. "And also tell her that I'm okay with your relationship."

"What did you have in mind?" Emma asked.

Snow just smiled. "Let's take a selfie."
