Regina must of fell unconscious for a little while, since she woke to the sound of the door almost being kicked in.
''Emma Swan if you break that door I swear on Henry's life you will be destroyed by me after we fix this mess of a town,'' Regina shouted on the other side of the door with anger, but no matter how hard she tried, the mayor just couldn't bring herself to stop her small smirk forming on her face.
''I'm sorry Regina but I have no choice I am not letting you die in here, and this building could collapse at any momment therefore, no matter what you do to me, I am coming in whether this door is on it's hinges or not!'' Emma replied back quite quickly.
This comment however, only made Regina laugh quietly to herself as the door finally opened, luckily on it's hinges still, making the mayor quite relieved.
''Ok Emma do your sheriff work and help me out of this damn rubble please, now would be helpful of course if your not to busy standing and staring at me..''
''Why are you always so whiney about how I save your life, I am almost positive you're never ever are grateful for it.''Emma added in almost sounding quite offended by Regina's statment.
''Oh, sorry Emma I guess I do owe you a thanks, so erm... Thanks. I really mean it.''
Did Regina just thank me? Emma thought to herself. Regina never thanked anyone accept for Henry of course if he decided to actually be bothered to do his homework or to respond and copperate with Regina.
''Emma as much as you might be actually touched that I thanked you, it would be great if you could help me out of this stupid rubble sitting on top of my foot, otherwise we will both die in this large house.'' Regina hissed trying to hide blushing, coughed quickly trying to cover her blush but failing.
Emma saw Regina's blush and couldn't help but giggle quietly to herself like a small teenager, and muttered to herself, ''As long as I am with you I'd be happy to die in here.'',However quickly regretting her choice of words.
''What was that Emma?'' the mayor asked unsure if she had heard Emma correctly but not wanting to ask if she did hear that.
''Oh... Nothing nothing... Come on Regina give me your hand.'' Emma slid under the desk holding out her hand that Regina hesitated to take, but eventually took it.
''If this hurts you Regina, I am sorry it's the only way to get you out I ethier yank you out or we sit here and die in this small space.'' Emma implied to Regina trying to convince her to get out fast.
''Very well Emma I will come out then besides we need to find Henry?'' Regina said, panick rising inside her remembering her son was still out there somewhere.
''Don't worry Regina, Henry is quite safe, he is with Archie and Pongo with everyone else at the hostpital.'' Emma said, trying her best to calm the mayor.
''Oh good then let's go I want to see our son.''
Our son. Emma thought 'Our son.' Regina had actually said our son which made Emma get butterflies inside of her. The way Regina said Our son, made Emma want to jump up and down with joy. However, before she got a chance, the mayor's exit out of the house had just caved in, leaving Regina and Emma staring directly at it quite startled.
''You have got to be kidding me!? This is all your fault Miss Swan,maybe if you hadn't been standing there staring at me for 5 minutes, and don't deny you haven't we would of gotten out sooner now we are stuck in here for godness knows how bloody long!'' Regina snapped full of rage anger and hurt since she just wanted to see Henry, however a small part of her was pleased, since she got some 'alone' time with Emma, even if it was not quite the way she planned it.
''REGINA! Don't you dare 'Miss Swan' me after all we have been through, you would of moaned at me ethier way, since if I just stopped taking my time and dragged you out you would of moaned at me for being to rough and not gentle enough with you! Does nothing every bloody please you for god sake!? You might as well sit tight whilst we wait for my father and others to come to the rescue, I contacted them so just stay put and stop whining.''
Regina was quite shocked and slightly impressed with Emma's confidence to stand up to her considering even though she wasn't the Evil Queen, and hadn't been for quite some time everyone in Storybrooke, still had some problems and fear's standing up against her. Therefore, it was a good 5 minutes they sat in silence before Regina couldn't stand it any longer and decided to break it.
''Look your right I am sorry. All you have done is tried to help me out for quite some time now, and I haven't taken it into consideration or into account about how you have tried to help me out.'' Regina softly spoke to Emma, trying not to make it seem awkward or anything more than a soft friendly gesture to Emma.
Emma however was far taken back with this and couldn't believe what she had just heard at all. Of all the people to take into consideration and into account about what Emma had done for Storybrooke she never ever had expected it to be the mayor of the town at all.
''Well erm thanks Regina I appreciate it. This time for once I am serious, and not being sarcastic I really appreciate it. I care about you more than you think and I just hope you realize that.'' Emma said nudging Regina making her slowly turn her heard towards her as her expression softened, Emma gave her a warm smile.
Regina had tried to keep this question at the back of her mind, and never really wanted to bring it up at all, but after hearing what Emma had said, she just couldn't help herself anymore.
''Emma why do you care about me so much?'' The mayor asked, Emma looked at her laughing at first, but then realized that she was being 100% serious, so then stopped and sat up with more posture.
''Erm well, because erm... I don't know I...''
Just as this happened the house shook once again shocking both Emma and Regina and without thinking, the ayor huddled herself closer to Emma. Emma was taken back at this but didn't hesitate and wrapped her arm around the mayor for protection.
The earthquake lasted around a minute and 30 seconds, but this knocked Regina unconscious once again. Emma lay Regina down, and removed the rubble from her foot. The injury that lay before her made tears come to Emma's eyes and feel hurt that Regina must have been in a lot of pain with this on her foot. Just as she was lost in thought, the mayor stirred making Emma jump slightly.
''Regina!? Regina are you ok?'' Emma said worriedly looking at the mayor scooping her onto her lap.
''Emma what are you doing? I'm fine honestly.'' Although Regina was angry at Emma for bringing her onto her lap, she didn't hesitate or pull away she just sat there worried about Henry, but also secrectly worrying about Emma too.
''I removed the rubble from your foot, that looks painful why didn't you say anything Regina?'' Emma said scolding at Regina yet sounding quite scared for her as tears started to form in her eyes.
This only made Regina become more upset herself and leaned back into Emma and sighed.
''Because I didn't want to worry you besides we were focusing on getting out of her to our son, and quite francally, I was worried about you.'' Regina said looking at Emma with a soft and heart warming look, making Emma melt.
''You were worried about me?'' Emma said feeling a tear drop down her face.
''Yes Emma, as much as I feel embarassed to tell you this, but I wouldn't exactly want anything to happen to you ethier... I care about you too ok.''
A tear that was dripping off Emma's check landed on the mayor's leg causing a light to surround them. This made emma gasp, and Regina's eyes widen as her injury on her foot started to heal.
''What the hell was that how did I do that!'' Emma said shocked that her tear's even had the power to do that.
Regina stared down at her leg and looked back up at the blonde sheriff and her face started to soften again even more than before and she stared at Emma with her brown soft eyes.
''That Emma... That was magic...''
