Emma groaned audibly from the couch. "Dad-"

"No Emma, I wanna hear it from her" He pointed a harsh finger towards Regina.

Regina stepped backwards slightly before repeating "I'm dating your daughter"

David took a breath before yelling "and what on earth makes you think that you can even come near my daughter, let alone date her.." His voice softened "Without us noticing, you two are seriously such bad actresses."

Emma sat up and Regina stepped forward, pointing a finger at Charming. "What?!"

Emma stood and walked slowly to stand at Regina's side, "You knew..about us.." She pointed to herself and then Regina "for how long?"

Mary Margret appeared from behind the kitchen island with a look of glee badly hidden on her face. "Oh honey, we've known since before you did"

Emma opened her mouth to speak but Regina was the one to speak first "and may I ask how you knew this?"

"It doesn't take a genius ladies, we saw you. The looks, the touches and that kiss outside the Mayors house, that was our biggest give away" The two women stood in silence listening to the various moments they thought they were the only ones to experience, be described by Emma's mother.

"And then there was the time you two were in Regina's office and I needed to ask you Emma, where Henry was staying that night, and I walked in and you two were on the couch.."

"You were there? how long did you-? we didn't, I mean we didn't do anything. We haven't. Yet. We haven't done-" Emma stumbled over her words. "I need to sit down"

She pulled out a chair and waved her hand to fix the one Regina had knocked over previously.

Regina spoke up "Henry. Does Henry know?"

David smiled "he was the one who told us first"

"Oh dear god.." Regina slid down into the chair opposite to Emma. "Who else knows?"

David checked off the people on his fingers. "Me, Mary Margret, Ruby, Henry, Archie, Leroy, Granny.."

Emma interrupted "so basically the whole town knows. Why didn't anyone tell us?" David put his hand on his daughters shoulder "oh because it was amusing watching you two sneak around thinking you were 007 or something"

Regina cleared her throat, "okay now that this is all out in the open; did you say something about my mother?"

Mary Margret and David shared a worried glance "yes, I did. We think she might be back." Regina stood up and started to paced back and forward the length of the couch. "She's here? In this town? This can't be, if she was here I would know."

"All due respect Regina, you were kind of busy with your own little undercover mission" he tilted his head toward Emma. The brunette huffed and continued to pace "what is she doing here? What does she want?"

"We have no idea why or even how- Regina for the love of God will you sit down!" Regina moved to sit opposite Emma at the table before clearing her throat. "Continue"

"We have no idea why or how she got here. But it probably has something to do with you." She paused at the look on Regina's face. "I'm sorry but what else could she possibly want from here?"

"You're right, even if she isn't interested in me, her being here puts the whole town at risk. I'm going to find her." She stood up, pulling her boots on one by one.

Emma pushed the chair back and grabbed her coat. "I'm coming too, I'm not letting you go to her alone."

"No Emma, I have to do this alone" she put her hands on the blondes shoulders and slid her coat back off. "You are staying here" They paused to turn their heads. The looks on the Charming's faces were ridiculous. "Oh come on!" Emma raised her voice. "It's not like I'm lifting up her skirt, take your goofy smiles somewhere else"

"Emma, ignore the two idiots. You need to understand that this is something I have to do alone. You know my mother is dangerous, I am not letting anything happen to you."

"But-"

"Emma, stay here. Please." Regina took her hands off of Emma's shoulders and unbolted the door. "I love you" she whispered so only they could hear, before shutting the door and making her way down stairs.

"I love you too" Emma whispered to the closed door.
