Emma didn't understand what her mother had been talking about before, as far as Emma knew she had no feelings for anyone in that way. She did care about people obviously, there was Henry, her parents, Regain, hell even Hook on a good day. But she was still yet to meet someone in Storybrooke that she could even consider a life with. I mean sure she was about to go on a date with Hook, but she knew nothing serious would ever happen to them. At most they would probably sleep together a few times and then call it a day.

"Mom! What time are w…wow you look…different." Henry said, shocked at how his mom looked. The young boy had only ever seen in mom in a dress once and that was well over a year ago.

"Good different I hope," Emma smiled shyly at him.

"Definitely!" He smiled at his mother before remembering the reason he came into his mother's room. "Umm, what time are we going to mom's at?"

"In about 10 minutes so make sure you have everything you need!" Emma said while looking down at the watch Neal stole for her years ago.


Regina was in the middle of making her homemade tomato sauce when the doorbell rang, the former Evil Queen suddenly felt jolts of electricity racing through her body. She couldn't wait to have her son under her roof once again. However, she was also worried about how he might react to her confession about Miss Swan, Regina had been wanting to talk to Henry about the saviour for a while now, she simply couldn't find the right time that was until tonight, she was finally going to tell someone other than that stupid pirate.

When the Mayor opened the door she was treated to Miss Swan in an almost skin tight hot pink dress that came to just above her knees. She could slowly feel her insides catch on fire and her throat suddenly became bone dry.

"Wow…" She said so quietly that only herself and Emma could hear. Henry, however, was none the wiser.

"Bye, mom! Have fun on your date!" Henry said before kissing the blonde woman on the cheek and running up the stairs to his old bedroom.

"Are you okay Regina?" Emma asked with a worried expression painted on her face. The mayor coughed slightly and tried to regain her composer before speaking to the younger woman.

"I'm fine…you scrub up quite nicely Miss Swan." The older woman complimented the blonde woman in front of her.

"Is the great and terrifying Evil Queen actually saying something nice about me?" Emma joked with the woman while smiling like a fool. She loved when she was able to be like this with the mayor, it made a change from all their bickering.

"Have fun on your date tonight Miss Swan and I expect to see you here at 12 for Henry." The older woman said while putting on her best mayor voice to try and hide her obvious attraction to the younger woman.

"Of course, Madam Mayor…see you then," Emma smiled shyly before walking away from the mayor.

Regina couldn't wait to close the door and let out a breath that she didn't even she know she was holding.

"Mom, are you okay?" Henry asked from the top of the stairs. The mayor quickly straightened up her posture before walking over to the large staircase.

"It's rude to spy Henry…but I'll let you away with it if you come down and help me finish dinner." She suggested while smiling at the boy.

"I think I can manage that!" He said excitedly before walking down the stairs to help his mother.


Emma sat nervously in the restaurant waiting for the one-handed pirate to show up. She had already been waiting alone like a fool for almost an hour when Hook finally showed up.

"Sorry Swan, I lost track of time while I was down at the Rabbit Hole. Can you forgive me, love?" Hook leant in to kiss the blonde woman on the cheek but she simply moved away.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting here, Hook?! I've been sitting here like an idiot for nearly an hour!" Emma shouted at the man.

"I'm sorry Swan, let's just forget about it and enjoy our night love." The pirate suggested.

"Are you kidding me?! You're lucky I haven't decked you yet!" Emma snapped at the man, who looked like he didn't actually give a crap about what the blonde was saying.

"Swan I made a mistake! Don't let it ruin our night."

"No! I told you that you had one chance and you blew it!" Emma quickly got up and stormed out of the restaurant.

The blonde woman was furious, she couldn't believe that Hook would have done that, essentially after going on and on about them going out on a date.

Emma didn't want to go home; she knew that her parents would give her the whole 'I told you he hadn't changed' speech. So she decided to drown her sorrows in Granny's.


After a peaceful dinner, Regina and Henry cuddled up on the sofa to watch the new Spiderman movie that he had brought over from the loft. Regina was yet to speak to the boy about his blonde mother but she knew that it had to be done, especially after she heard that Emma had asked Henry what he thought about her dating again. The older woman knew that if she was ever to have a chance with Emma then she was going to need their son on her side.

"Hey Henry, can I talk to you about something?" Regina asked, pulling the boys concentration away from the television.

"Sure, what's up mom?" He asked while Regina paused the movie to get his full attention.

"It's about Miss Swan...well you see, I kind of well not kind of, I know that she's...maybe that might be too strong of a word. Miss Swan is well; she is..."

"Beautiful? Special? Your true love? All of the above?" Henry questioned the mayor.

"I... well. Yes...how did you know?" Regina asked sounding worried. Had she been making her feelings for Miss Swan so obvious that their 12-year-old son had picked up on them?

"I was just kidding! Wait do you really think that mom is your true love?!" The boy asked excitedly.

"I think so Henry...so you're not opposed to the idea?" Regina asked nervously.

"Did you think I would be?! This is going to be so awesome! When are you going to tell her?!...Wait she's on a date with Hook" Henry suddenly went from being extremely happy to being sad at the thought of his mom being with someone other than his adoptive mother.

"I know dear...that's why I can't tell her. Not yet at least, if she and the pirate are happy then I'll let them be happy, but if not then I'll tell her. But...I might need your help, you up for it?" Regina raised her eyebrow at him.

"I'd rather her be with you than Hook any day so, yeah I'm in. What's the plan?" Henry asked before moving closer to listen to what Regina had to say.


Emma had spent the last few hours cursing the pirate's name and drinking almost her weight in whiskey in Granny's, that was until Granny cut her off and told her to head home. That was something and definitely didn't want to do at this moment in time so the saviour simply began to walk the streets of Storybrooke, until she found herself outside of a house that she knew all too well. Without even realising what her feet were doing the drunk blonde made her way up the path that led to house No. 108. Without caring about the time she knocked three times as loud as she could, until the mayor came to the door wearing no more than a black silk robe and a confused look on her face.

"Miss Swan what are you doing here at this hour?" She whisper shouted so she didn't wake Henry.

"It's 12..." Was all Emma was able to say before she felt the sudden urge to throw up...all over the mayor's flower bed.
