Alright chapter 2! :D Glad ya'll liked the first chapter. This is a hella fun story to write for the two of us.

Enjoy this one

Regina was still grinning as she drove off, but the further down the road she got, the more she began to wonder about what it was she was doing. This was Fallon, her closest friend, her only friend. The one person from their old world she actually cared about. She couldn't let herself get caught up in any sort of relationship other than a platonic one. For a lot of reasons. That grin was gone.

xXx

Walking into the station Jane sat down in front of Dirk to fill out the paperwork from earlier. She waited for her friend to comment on the night previous, knowing he would.

"Soo, Rizzoli, did you manage to ditch the kid last night to get it on with our 'sometimes hostile but always extremely sexy' mayor?" He grinned. "Cause there was some serious sparkage going on at that budget meeting this evening."

Jane grinned. "No we ate...Food... and watched a movie together last night." she smirked. "It was fun but because she was tired Regina did however agree to something on the weekend. I'll have to come up with something good in both scenarios whether she's got Henry with her or not."

"Well hopefully it's the latter so you can get your A game on. I think our mayor just needs to chill a bit and a good lay can have that effect." He waggled his brows.

"Oh don't worry, D. I've already let her know that I would rock her world." Jane grinned widely then looked back down at the papers.

Dirk nearly spat out the coffee he'd just took a sip of. "You what!? No way! What'd she do?" He asked curiously.

"Well I told her that I would love to make my tardiness up to her and she went to mention she would think of something enjoyable. Regina then went on to say she may get me to clean out her gutters." Jane chuckled as she continued to fill out the papers. "I told our lovely mayor that I would love to clean out her gutter and make sure she is satisfied with my work." Jane grinned. "I also told her that when I say I'm going to do something...I go all out."

"Damn. I know that would get me all hot under the collar." Dirk grinned and leaned against the table he was sitting at. "So did Madam Mayor seem to go for that offer of yours? Or did she just flat out reject you?" He chuckled.

"I think she went for it. I also think I have an effect on her way more than anyone else. Hell, when she was banging Graham he didn't really seem have any effect that I could see."

"You know, I would've never even known she was doing Graham if it wasn't for you. He seemed more like a dog on a tight leash than anything else. Rest his soul. He was a good guy." Dirk took a sip of his coffee. "You do seem to have an effect on her, though. I've seen it."

"Yeah, poor guy. I did root for him and Emma. Being he was a close friend of mine, I saw that he was happier around the sheriff." She shrugged. "I wonder why I'm the one that has an effect. Out of everyone in this town she could have... why have an obvious attraction to me?"

"Hmm... I don't know." He shrugged. "Cause you got swagger? Cause you aren't afraid to speak your mind unlike all her other goons? Cause you have that super sexy deep voice and dimples? It's crazy, really." Dirk teased.

Jane cut her eyes up and him and chuckled. "Aww you like my voice and my swagga?" She grinned.

"I know LOTS of people who like your voice and swagger, Chief. It especially drives the ladies crazy. So says Ruby." He chuckled.

The brunette threw her head back and laughed. "So you sayin' Rubes has a thing for me? Wonder why I've never noticed... Oh because she flirts with everyone." She chuckled. "She mention names? I need to know just in case it doesn't work with the mayor."

"Honestly? I figured you two would've hooked up already." Dirk laughed and finished up his coffee. "Ruby has the most fluid sexuality I've ever seen. I don't think she really mentioned anyone specifically. She obviously finds you attractive and said your voice 'could turn any girl.'" He smirked.

"I might have to pay her a visit." She smiled. Granny's was closing in an hour and she knew the process with Regina was going to be slow if any so might as well have some fun. "I'll see you tomorrow, D. I'm going to finish my paperwork at a little diner down the street." She winked then got up, gathered her things then went straight for Granny's.

"Playa!" Dirk called out as she ran off, chuckling as he got back to work.

Ruby was bent over the counter, wiping down the top of it when Jane walked in. Hearing the bell, the waitress looked up and flashed the fire chief a sultry grin. "Hey, Chief, what can I get ya?"

Jane gave her a dimpled smirk as she walked toward the bar stool and sat down. "Well, you would do just fine but seems I have to finish my paperwork before I can play so... how about a fresh cup of black?"

Ruby cocked a brow at Jane's sudden forwardness and then nodded. "Okay. If you want something sweet after all that bitter, which I'm sure you will," She said huskily, "I'll be around." She grinned and headed for the coffee pot.

The Fire Chief smiled and watched her pour the cup and come back. "Thanks, sweetie." She winked before turning back to her folder and working on finishing it up as soon as she could.

The door's bell dinged and then suddenly there was a presence next to Jane. "Do you ever stop working?" A familiar voice asked as a honey-blonde took the stool next to her.

Jane chuckled "No." Looking to her right, she smiled at her best friend. "What are you doing here so late?"

"I just finished a 16 hour shift and realized I haven't eaten since this morning so..." Maura gave a little shrug and smile. "Here I am."

Jane smirked. "Well, hun, whatever you want is on me. You deserve it." Looking over at Ruby she sighed silently. Vag blocked. Damn. "Hey Rubes. I'll give you the best tip ever if you stay open a lil later and get Maura some food. Hell, I'll even help ya cook." Back up plan.

Ruby smiled as she leaned against the counter, toward Jane. "You help me close up this place and it's a deal."

"You got a deal then."

Maura looked from the waitress to Jane and back. She knew her friend's game all too well. And she certainly knew enough of Ruby to know it'd work. "I'll just have a turkey on wheat, Ruby, with a side salad." She said, breaking up their little staring contest.

The firefighter snapped out of it and glanced at Dr. Isles then looked back at the waitress, her eyes scanning every curve that the bar counter would allow her to see. Once Ruby walked off, Jane looked back to her friend and saw the look that earned a chuckle from her. "What?"

Maura shook her head. "It just amazes me how you have the ability to pick up so many women. I mean, not that you're unattractive, it's just that with the size of Storybrooke the number of women prepared to jump in bed with you is very disproportionate."

Jane chuckled. "What can I say? I'm good and apparently, according to Ruby, my voice could turn any woman."

"Your voice does hold a certain degree of attractiveness all on its own." Maura smirked and took a sip of the coffee Ruby set in front of her. When the waitress had disappeared back into the kitchen, the doctor spoke again. "If you have plans to take her home, I'd be glad to bow out as soon as I'm finished eating. Actually, I could get it to go."

"I was gonna try but you're more important to me than just sex." The brunette offered a smile. How about I take you home and we chill?"

"It would be nice to just enjoy a night with my best friend. We haven't gotten much of a chance to talk lately." Maura thanked Ruby as she set the plate of food down in front of her and then turned her attention back to Jane. "Though I do believe Ruby is expecting a night of fun." She smirked.

Jane nodded. "I think so too." Leaning in she kissed Maura's cheek. "Give me a second?" She asked before getting up and making her way into the kitchen. Coming up behind Ruby silently and caught her wrists, pulling her back into herself with one hand and with the other she moved the waitress' hair. Using her sensual voice she whispered into her ear. "Hi."

"Hi." Ruby leaned back into Jane, a shiver running up her spine at the feel of Jane's breath on her skin, that sensuous voice in her ear.

Jane's hand moved around to the front of Ruby's body, right above her pelvis. "I reeeally wanna take you home tonight." Her lips brushed against the brunette's skin as she spoke. "But, if you agree, I have to get a raincheck." Her fingers went down further resting right on top of her lips on top her black pants.

Ruby bit her bottom lip, fighting back a groan of desire, and nodded. "I can give you a raincheck, but you're gonna have to step away like right now or I'm gonna jump your bones, Chief." She covered Jane's hand with her own and moved it back up to rest on her stomach.

The taller woman grinned and turned the waitress Ruby around. "Yes, ma'am." She whispered right against her lips before taking Ruby's chin in her fingers and kissing her soft and slow. "Mm, can't wait to get more of that." She smiled and backed up before walking out of the kitchen and taking her spot right beside Maura. "I am going to finish this paperwork up while you eat so I don't have to worry about it when we get home."

Maura nodded and continued to eat as Jane continued to work. After they'd left the diner and Ruby behind, the duo headed to Maura's place where, with a beer and glass of wine in hand, they took a seat on the couch and began to flip through the channels. "So what have you been up to besides work, Jane Rizzoli?"

"Mostly work but I did have dinner with the Mayor and her kid last night." She sipped her beer and cut her eyes toward Maura, waiting for the reaction.

Maura tilted her head slightly and angled herself to better face Jane. "Really? And how did that come to be? More importantly, how'd it turn out?"

"It turned out pretty well I think. I took the fact that she didn't get to finish her lunch at Granny's yesterday and ran with it. I cooked her and Henry dinner and we sat and ate peacefully then watched a movie. She agreed to do it again when she was less tired. We'll see where it goes."

"Wow. An evening with a woman that didn't lead to sex." Maura tilted her head again, a look of wonderment on her face. "I'm very impressed, Jane." She smirked and got a little more comfortable on the couch, resting her arm over the back. "So tell me, is Mayor Mills just another one of your conquests or is there something more there?"

"We have evenings that don't lead to sex all the time." She noted. "Well I wouldn't mind getting her in bed but... I kinda like Regina. And I may be wrong but I think she kinda likes me too. I dunno.. we just, we click."

"I've seen the way she looks at you and there's definitely something there on her end. I do understand human behavior and body language fairly well, afterall." Maura smiled. "Mayor Mills seems very guarded for some reason. I imagine it's because of something from her past. You should try to build something with her, Jane." She said softly. "Oh, and as sexy as you are," she grinned, "I really think of you more as family than anything else. That would be why we don't end up in bed every evening."

Jane nodded her head. "Yeah, maybe I'll try. I feel a connection with her. I don't know why and I don't know where it came from but its like.. its like she knows something that I don't." She laughed. "Oh so you're the only woman in this town that wouldn't sleep with me. Hm, interesting." She smirked and poked her ribs playfully. "So even when you snuggle against me when we have our sleep overs, it never crosses your mind?" She asked, just curious and not meaning for it to go anywhere physical. Jane just wanted to know.

"Well, if I were being completely honest, which I am because I can't lie without breaking into hives," Maura grinned, "there were times when we first started having the sleepovers that I thought about it. But I also knew you well enough at the time to know us sleeping together would have likely just ruined our friendship. You run from commitment, Jane, and I happen to like what we have now. We're in a good place."

"Yeah you're probably right. I would rather have you the way I do now then not at all." She ran her hand over Maura's hair and took a breath. "You're one of the lucky ones because I'm sure this is as committed as I'll ever be."

"Which is why we should keep things the way they are. Because I happen to enjoy having you as a best friend." Maura smiled and gently pushed on Jane's knee. "Now let's focus on you and that mayor. What's your next plan of action?"

"I uh... well i don't know. She agreed to do something on the weekend but I don't know what to do to keep her interest... I have to have an A plan and a B plan in case she decides to bring Henry along. Any ideas?"

"Well I definitely think you should do something she normally wouldn't do around Storybrooke. Perhaps a picnic and hike in the woods. Or maybe an afternoon out on the lake. There's also horseback riding." Maura suggested. "They're all activities that could be just for you and Regina, or for you, Regina and Henry."

"Hmm maybe a horseback ride through the woods to get to the picnic area." She grinned. "Thanks Maur. So how is your love life?"

"You're welcome." Maura smiled brightly. "And my love life is definitely not stellar at the moment." She said on a slightly more somber note. "I just don't see my relationship with Rob going anywhere. I don't think we want the same things." If only she knew he was a happily married Robin Hood in their world. "The oddest thing happened the other day, though." Maura paused a moment and took in Jane's curious expression. "Jefferson, who's been extremely reclusive and very eschew of any contact with me, started up a conversation. It was a little... awkward but nice."

"Jefferson? Wow that is odd. I mean I don't think you've ever even heard his voice. So, what did he say?"

Maura laughed. "I'd heard his voice before, during one of the rare moments I did see him out in public, but it was usually more of a mumbling as he scrambled to get away. Odd." She got quiet for a moment as she thought. "But anyways, it was really just polite conversation more than anything."

"Well good." She smiled. "Maybe this is a start to a beautiful relationship." Jane chuckled and sipped her beer.

"Oh shut up." Maura chuckled and playfully nudged Jane with her foot.

Their night went well. Lots of laughs and talking. Once in bed, Jane gladly held Maura close like she always did. It was Friday and Jane was finally off from her job but had to run her paperwork to the Mayoral office. Eh she'd do it later.

Maura was still curled around Jane when she woke up, comfortable with only one complaint: that unruly mane was tickling her nose. She tried to blow the hair out of her face before giving up and sitting up. "So, it's Friday and we're both off. What to do. Hmm..." She tapped her chin and smiled.

Jane opened one eyes then smirked before stretching out her limbs. "Hmm... absolutely anything you wanna do. Sky's the limit. You wanna do it? I'll make it happen."

"I think... we should go for a morning jog and then you should surprise Regina with some lunch afterward." Maura grinned as she looked over at her friend. "Not as exciting as you imagined, I'm sure, but you should show her that you're thoughtful. Even though you're really not." She teased.

Jane's jaw dropped right before she wrapped her arms around Maura, rolled her over her own body. Pinning the doctor's hands down on the pillow, her upper body hovered over her friend's. "You're right I'm not thoughtful at all." She grinned then let her hair fall into the woman's face and started tickling her with it, laughing.

"Jane, stop!" Maura squealed and squirmed beneath her friend, trying to escape. "Don't make me have to report you to the mayor for abuse of power!" She laughed.

With a laugh Jane shook her head. "Ah she'd like to know that I abuse my power." Moving to straddle Maura's waist she then released her hands and with her own attacked the blonde's sides.

Maura was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. The doctor tried to grab Jane's hands to cease the tickling, but eventually resorted to trying to buck her off. "I surrender!"

The fire chief laughed and stopped tickling. She moved off to the side and got up. "Alright lets get some breakfast and go for that lovely jog you were talking about."

"And don't think I'm going to take it easy on you this morning just because you have a prosthetic leg." Maura said cocking a brow, showing she meant business. "You've already tried that argument before and it's invalid." She got up out of bed and grabbed some clothes to change into.

"That's fine.. you end up leaving me behind and the moment I get back I'm taking my leg off and beating you with it." The chief chuckled. Changing into her workout clothes after putting her prosthetic on. Once they finished breakfast the two went out for their jog.

And as soon as they were finished with that jog and had lounged on the couch for a bit, Maura shoved Jane out the door and told her to go see the mayor. Nothing like friendly encouragement, she figured.

The firefighter when home and showered and put on her jeans and white tank top. She went to Granny's and luckily Ruby wasn't there yet. Jane picked the food up and carried it and her folder to the mayoral office. Walking through the front door she gave her famous Rizzoli smirk and waltzed up. "Good afternoon. I brought you the incident report and some grub."

Regina didn't even bother to glance up. Not at first. "You can set both on my desk." She said cooly. Then her eyes met Jane's. "Lunch was thoughtful, though you really shouldn't have. You've already made up for the Granny's incident."

"This isn't making up for anything. I just wanted to make sure you ate today." She smiled and if your not too busy my lunch is in the bag too in hopes you would like to have lunch with me."

"I'm actually quite busy right now so you might want to take that lunch elsewhere, Chief Rizzoli." Regina looked back down at her desk and continued to fill out her paperwork as though Jane weren't standing there.

Clenching her jaws, Jane reached in the bag and got her lunch out. "Yes, Madam Mayor." Turning on her heels, the raven-haired woman turned and headed for the door.

Regina flinched slightly at the steely tone Jane had taken up. It's what she told herself she wanted, the firefighter giving up on her pursuit, but it was still unnerving. Jane was a warm person, and the mayor didn't enjoy pushing her to such coldness. She looked up in time to catch Jane opening the door, a bumbling Sheriff Swan walking in right at the same time. With an eye roll and sigh, she got back to work.

"Hey, Jane. Sorry. Didn't mean to almost bump into you." Emma smiled.

"Its fine, Em. Uh, while I have ya, maybe you would want to have lunch. I got enough for two here." She shrugged. "Unless your too busy as well." Her eyes cut toward Regina then back to her friend.

Emma followed Jane's line of sight and then took a deep breath before nodding. "Yeah, sure. Of course I have time. Just let me deal with our ever-so-friendly mayor and then we can head to the park or back to the station to eat."

"Sounds good. I'll be out here." She left the office and leaned against the brick wall with a grunt. What the hell happened between yesterday and today? She wondered.

"What is it, Sheriff?" Regina asked as soon as she heard those boots closing in, looking up to catch a glimpse of a frowning Emma Swan.

"Just dropping off my paperwork for the sheriff department's budget hearing tomorrow."

"Fine." Regina went back to work. "Just set it on my desk, Miss Swan, and let yourself out."

"You're a bit grumpier than usual." Emma mentioned

"And you're a bit more annoying than usual." Regina lifted her head again, her face hard. "So unless you have something useful to add you can go now."

Jane looked over the moment Emma walked out of the office. "Lets go to the park... I'm tired of being inside."

"Okay. I'll drive." Emma walked with Jane to her yellow bug. "So what's up with you and Regina? You seem to have ruffled some feathers. And that's usually my job."

"Its a long story.." She mumbled before getting into the car. "Lets just say she was acting interested in me for the past few days and now... well she's like that. Eh whatever."

"Oh..." Emma was silent for a moment as she turned on the car and put it into drive. "Well, you do know this is Regina Mills, right? She's not exactly the most cheery of people. Maybe she's just having an off day. Or maybe she's a soul sucking wrench who only shows interest in people when they have something she wants from them." Emma nodded. "Yeah, that sounds 'bout right."

"I know but.. you know how I am. I usually just want a good fuck and that's it but its different with Regina. I like her. Why? Hell if I know but I do. I want more than just sex with her...I think. Shit, Em I don't know. I just thought we clicked and for some reason today I couldn't pierce that armor of her's."

"I really don't know what her problem is. Something in her past must've jacked her up. I really wonder if she even has a soul anymore. I've told her as much." Emma glanced over at her friend. "I don't get why you like her, Jane, but sometimes the heart just wants what the heart wants. If she's the ONE woman that has you wanting more, fight for it."

Jane laughed. "Yeah its not every day I find a woman that makes me want more." She smiled over at Emma. "But enough about me, how are you?"

"There is absolutely nothing new going on with me. My war with your apparent soulmate," she chuckled, "is currently at a standstill and Henry seems really excited about something in his book. Something he thinks could be a game changer."

"I gotta ask that kid if I'm in the book." She chuckled. "Wonder who he thinks I am." Jane looked over at Emma. "You believe any of it?"

"I have no idea who he thinks you are but I'm sure you're in there. I can't say I really believe any of it, but he does. And that's all that really matters." Emma said softly. "When you do ask him, let me know who you're supposed to be." She grinned.

Jane chuckled. "You got it. Next time I see him I'll ask. But, who are you?"

"I'm supposed to be Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, the savior of Storybrooke. It's crazy. Me a hero?" Emma snorted and shook her head. "No way."

"Yeah no kidding. I can't see you saving anything but your own ass." She laughed then got out of the bug once they parked and gathered to bag and went to find a spot to sit.

"Excuse you! I saved your love interest from a burning building, thank you very much." Emma chuckled and followed Jane to a log that sat not far from the jungle gym Regina had built. "So, if you were a fairytale character, who do you think you'd be?

"My 'love interest'? Did you really just call her that?" She asked with a raise of her brow then shoved Emma playfully. Sitting down next to the sheriff she shrugged. "I dunno... I'd like to think Jasmine or some kickass woman. However, I can't think of any that only has one leg." Jane shrugged and pulled the food out.

"Hmm..." Emma took the sandwich Jane handed her, unwrapped it and took a bite without really thinking about it. "Well maybe you are Jasmine and your tiger took your leg. Freak accident. Like at the circus." She said with her mouth still full, grinning.

Jane bursted out in a loud laugh. "Damn it, Raja!"

Emma laughed, too, setting her food down and shaking her head. "Learned your lesson, didn't ya, Roy?"

With a shake of her head she spoke, "Yeah well where was Siegfried when I need him? Huh? ...Lazy bastard." She then chuckled and took a bite of the half o' sandwich.

Emma laughed but wondered how Jane really lost her leg. She never asked because she thought it'd be a little insensitive or awkward.

Regina was dealing with one of King George's ambassadors when Marcus came to her. She'd gone to see Fallon in the infirmary every day and knew that fever had taken hold of her, the wound in her leg becoming festered. She excused herself immediately and walked over to the short, bald man. "What is it? Is Fallon all right?"

"Her leg, your majesty. The wound has gotten so bad that I have no choice but to amputate right above the knee. I have not told Fallon yet and thought you might want to be there with her."

Regina's heart sank as she took a deep steadying breath. "I will be. Let's go. Fallon is my first priority." She headed for the clinic, the small man following behind her.

Fallon was sweating bullets when the queen walked in. Slowly turning her head toward her, she forced a weak smile. "Hey you. Twice in one day? When did I get so lucky?" Her voice was timid and raspier than usual.

Regina felt hot tears stinging her eyes and didn't say a word out of fear her voice would break as she quickly strode up to Fallon and bent over to kiss her sweaty forehead. "I love you, and I wish I had the knowledge and strength to heal you. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." She and caught Regina's hand in hers. Her eye lids heavy as she did everything she could to continue to look at the brunette. "I love you too and its okay, Regina." She whimpered as Marcus touched her leg. "Wh-why are you crying?" She asked kindly. "I'll survive this, somehow. I promised I would never leave you."

Regina sniffled and rested her forehead against her friend's. "Your leg... it's in really bad shape, Fallon. If Marcus... if Marcus doesn't amputate, the infection is going to kill you." The queen cried a little harder. "I'm sorry. It must be done."

Her hand moved into the back of the queen's long hair and gripped at the base of her neck lightly. Fallon's breath hitched when she heard what was needed to be done. "Cut off my leg?" Tears came to her eyes. "H-how will I ever become a knight now? You're knight?"

"You'll always be my knight in shining armor. Leg or no leg. You'll make it happen. I know you will." The queen's voice was soft, kind, but held strong conviction.

"I'm going to start preparing you for the process now, Fallon." Marcus said, grabbing some herbs and the tools needed.

She nodded her head slightly for Marcus to know she was ready. Looking up into her best friend's eyes, Fallon practically begged. "Please, don't leave me." She whispered.

"Never." Regina whispered back, moving behind Fallon so she had to tilt her head back to see her. The queen sprawled her fingers across her friend's neck, jaw and cheeks and caressed her skin softly, trying to keep Fallon's gaze on her. "Just focus on me. I'm not going to leave you."

Fallon looked into her big brown eyes and fell even more in love with the queen. She had turned so dark and hateful toward everyone but her. The soldier was in complete peace until she felt the saw blade moving against her flesh, snapping her back into reality.

Eyes widened as the woman below gasped. Marcus didn't stop sawing. "Ahhhhh!" A heart wrenching scream sounded. Her arms wrapped around Regina's waist, trying to keep still but it wasn't helping. Nothing was helping the pain. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Then the metal hit bone. The vibration of the teeth against her femur was adding on even more agony.

That scream. It grabbed onto Regina's heart and squeezed so tight she forget to breath for a moment. It would be forever etched into her soul, the sound of pure agony from one she loved but couldn't help.

Regina angled herself so that she could hold Fallon's upper body in her arms to the best of her ability. She didn't dare look at the work Marcus was completely, doing her best not to cringe as she listened to that blade cut bone. She was strong for her knight and thanked the heavens when Fallon had finally been rendered unconscious by the intense pain.

Jane thanked Emma for spending lunch with her and driving her back to her own car. It was around 2 o'clock in the afternoon and she got in her black Corolla and took a breath, looking at the Mayor's office before placing her hand on the gear shift and putting it in reverse but didn't back out quite yet, allowing for another car to pass behind her.

Regina had just left her office for the day when she spotted Jane's car, the women's eyes locking from a distance as the fire chief waited to back up her vehicle. The mayor actually got butterflies. Butterflies! And they weren't acceptable. Not to her. She kept walking, heading straight for her car.

Jane got her car back in the space quickly and let her heart guide her. She got out, slammed the door and jogged up behind the mayor. Taking her wrist lightly in her hand. She moved in front of the beauty. "What did I do?"What did I do to deserve the brush off this morning?"

Regina jumped slightly, prepared to rip her arm away but faltering when brown eyes locked together. That soft, warm gaze. It made Regina want to apologize and give in for a moment. "I was just busy. It wasn't personal. Speaking of which, though, I think it'd be best if we keep our relationship professional. You answer to me when it comes to departmental issues. It would be unwise to engage in any other sort of relationship."

Taking a step closer she shrugged. "I do answer to you and I happen to like it and as strange as it may sound, I like you as well." Jane smiled. "The last couple of days there has been undeniable chemistry between us and don't try to tell me you didn't feel it. Regina, I know you think I'm a whore but the truth is... I don't know who I am. I try to find myself anyway that I can and for some reason, with you, just being in your presence I feel closer to finding out.. I can try to be professional but we both know that neither one of us can be completely professional toward each other."

Regina opened her mouth to protest right around the time Jane said there was an undeniable chemistry between them - even though she was right - but, instead, she closed her mouth and let the raven-haired beauty finish.

'I don't know who I am.' It struck Regina hard because she knew the truth. She also knew she was becoming unraveled herself with everything going on. She'd fought so hard to avoid letting anyone, even Fallon, close. And now she felt like things were beginning to fall apart. The curse, her resolve.

"What do you want from me, Jane?" She asked quietly.

"Anything you're willing to give, Regina. I just want a chance. That's all. Let me take you on a date tomorrow night and if you hate it, I'll leave you alone. If you enjoy yourself... then it's your choice in whether you keep me or throw me away."

Regina looked away. The mayor wasn't a fan of the wording "throw me away." She would never completely cut Jane off and she definitely didn't think of her as something she could just throw away. But she wasn't sure she could let herself go down this path with the other woman, either. Finally looking back into Jane's eyes, seeing the hope and earnesty there, she nodded. "Okay. One chance."

So, who do you think Jane is in the Enchanted Forest? Henry has the answer, do you?
