This chapter is for AlphaLuna87 with the prompt: "Emma is impatiently waiting for the second half of her favorite season to start and is driving Regina insane."
"What's wrong?" Regina asked.
"It's not on yet," Emma said. "I have to wait 4 months for it to come back. Do you know how long that is? That's a lot of days!"
"I don't understand," Regina said. "What are you waiting for?"
"The second half of the season of 'Miami Murders', duh," Emma said. "Only the best show ever written and put on television."
Regina rolled her eyes. "That show is ridiculous."
Miami Murders was a crime show about a woman named Miami, which Regina thought was a ridiculous name for anyone, who went around the world and killed the people she was assigned to. Emma loved the show from a crime-fighting perspective, and it kept her entertained. But the seasons were in two parts, and now it was off until March.
"It is not," Emma argued. "You just don't appreciate the crime aspect of it. Trust me, it's a huge loss to the cable companies that they only air half of a season at a time."
"The actors need breaks here and there," Regina said. "Besides, while you're waiting, you can actually have a life again. Go outside with our son."
"That's not the same as watching people get chased by a bad-ass and then shot," Emma said. "I can't exactly do that with Henry."
"He has video games," Regina said. "Most of them are of that nature thanks to you. Play those with him."
"I think I'm just going to sit in the living room for a little longer and mourn," Emma said. "Today was the end of the first half of the season."
Regina rolled her eyes as Emma left the room. And people thought she was the dramatic one.
"Will you stop it?" Regina asked, snatching the remote away from Emma.
"There's nothing good on," Emma protested. "The only good show isn't on right now because they have to film. What kind of a BS excuse is that?"
"An accurate one," Regina said. "They do have to film. It's only been a month. They have the rest of the season to finish. Be patient."
"I don't know if you've noticed, but being patient isn't exactly a strong suit of mine," Emma said.
"I've noticed," Regina said. "If there's one thing I've noticed this past month it's how impatient you are when it comes to TV shows being off air."
"They could just film it all at once," Emma pouted. "That would make things so much easier."
"Just hang in there," Regina said, patting Emma's leg. "Now stop pouting and let's find something to watch."
By the final month of the show being off air, Emma was driving Regina insane. She had several calendars counting down the days, and wouldn't stop talking about how excited she was for it to come back.
Regina just wanted the show to come back just to make Emma stop talking about it.
"You look like you want to fireball something," Emma said. "Or someone."
"Try someone," Regina said.
"Who would you want to fireball?" Emma asked. "You've been getting so better at resisting it!"
"Because you are driving me insane with all of your talk about this show," Regina said. "I love you, but you have been making me crazy ever since it went off air. Maybe you need an intervention of some kind."
"I don't need an intervention," Emma said. "The show will be on soon and then everything will be fine."
"Or maybe not," Henry said, walking into the living room with his phone. "You may want to look at this." He handed his phone to Emma before backing away.
"What?" Emma asked. "How could they do this?"
"What happened?" Regina asked.
"They cancelled the show!" Emma exclaimed. "Something about low viewings and wanting to focus on the shows that are bringing in audiences. They cancelled it right after the first half of the season. Can they do that?"
"Unfortunately," Henry said. "It's their decision what they keep and get rid of for shows. This one didn't make the cut."
Emma sighed before giving him his phone back. "Well. Guess I have to find a new show now."
Regina just groaned and flopped back against the couch cushion.
