Snow had been shocked when Emma had called. Her daughter had demanded to see Regina. Snow had wanted to shield her stepmother. She was worried that someone would slip and mention Regina's Evil Queen days. Emma, however, was not taking no for an answer. "Emma she's fragile." Snow warns when she lets Emma into the loft. "Be careful what you say to her." Emma fights the urge to roll her eyes at her mother. She didn't need Snow's reminder. She was the first one to see Regina after the amnesia happened. There was no way she could forget how fragile she was. "Just tell me where she is." Emma demands. "She's staying in your old room." Snow sighs. Emma pushes past her mother and hurries up the steps. She's a little nervous to see Regina, but also joyful. She had missed the mayor's presence. Even if Regina didn't know it, just her existence made Emma feel better. The door creaks when Emma opens it. Regina turns and looks surprised to see Emma. "Oh, hello." Regina offers a warm smile. "You must be Snow's daughter." "Emma." The blonde replies softly. "Snow says we were good friends. I'm sorry I can't remember it." Regina apologizes softly. So that's what Snow had said. She hadn't even tried to explain the truth to Regina. Emma feels angry at her mother's selfish behavior. She was using this as an opportunity to start over with Regina, but Emma was not letting that happen. "Regina, would you like to go riding?" Emma asks. "It might help." "I-I don't know…" Regina stutters. "D-Daniel and I...I mean the stables...I-I" Emma doesn't want to push the former queen. She knew it was a long shot, but she had to get Regina to fall back in love with her again. Emma would not give up on their love no matter what or no matter how long it took. "Okay, not the stables." Emma tries again. "How about just a walk in the park." "Snow said it might not be safe for me to be out in public yet." Regina sounds afraid. Emma mentally curses her mother. "You'll be safe with me." Emma promises. Regina looks like she's pondering this. The brunette finally nods after a moment. She gives Emma another soft smile that practically melts the Savior's heart. "Okay, Emma, I trust you. But I have one condition." Regina says, not knowing that Emma would have done what Regina requested. "Snow gave me this amazing dessert last night, and I might die if I don't have more. I believe she called it iced cream." Emma chuckles. Regina is surprised at how familiar Emma's laughter to sounds to her ears. It gives her butterflies for a moment. "I think I can do ice cream." Emma agrees happily. * * * * * * * * * * Snow had not liked the idea of Emma taking Regina out. As much as Snow trusted Emma, she was really concerned about Regina's safety. Not everyone in Storybrooke was accepting of this newly changed mayor, and Regina was nearly defenseless against them for the time being. Emma was beginning to think that her mother didn't want Regina to regain her memories. Snow finally had the woman she'd once known back, and Emma would change that. Potentially, True Love's kiss would once again take away the person Snow loved. Emma was worried that her mother would be unwilling to chance it. "How's the ice cream?" Emma asks as she and Regina walk. "Messy." Regina laughs as the dessert melts all over her hand. "But delicious." "You're as bad as Henry sometimes." Emma teases handing her fiancee a napkin. "Who's Henry?" Regina asks curiously. "My father's name was Henry." Emma freezes. She could understand Snow wanted to protect Regina, and that she was worried about scaring her, but to not even mention Henry? That was taking things too far. Henry was Regina's son, she would have done anything for him. It makes Emma extremly angry, but she knows she has to stay calm. "He's my son-biologically-but the two of you are really close." Emma tries to explain. "You named him after your father, it's kind of complicated." "Can I meet him?" Regina asks sounding hopeful. "I think that can be arranged." Emma grins. "He's been dying to see you." "He sounds like a wonderful child." Regina replies. "I really wish I had my memory back." "Me too." Emma says sadly. "There's more to our past, isn't there?" Regina asks wisely. Emma thinks for a moment before nodding. It gives Emma a strange sense of hope. If Regina felt a connection with Emma, maybe she could fall back in love with here. Maybe there was a chance for their happy ending. The pair continue their walking in a comfortable silence. Emma dreaded having to drop Regina off. She just wanted to take her fiancee home with her where she belonged, but Emma knew she had to continue taking baby steps for now. "Can we do this again?" Emma asks the brunette as they reach the door of the loft. "Absolutely." Regina smiles. "Thank you for today, Emma." Emma has to fight the urge to lean in and kiss Regina. That would definitely scare the former queen away. Emma didn't want that, so she settles squeezing Regina's hand instead. "I should go, Henry will be home soon." Emma says reluctantly. "Tell him I said hello." Regina replies. Emma nods and smiles. Regina slowly opens the door and waves goodbye to Emma. Emma felt like she'd made progress. They were on the right path, she just hoped it stayed that way. * * * * * * * * * * Regina enters the loft and fails at hiding her smile. She was unsure about what she was feeling, but whatever it was she liked it. She liked how Emma made her feel. "Did you have fun?" Snow asks, startling Regina slightly. "Yes, your daughter is delightful company." David chuckles a little from his seat at the kitchen table. If Regina only knew the truth behind her words. It seemed a little ironic to David. "Are you going to see her again?" Snow asks curiously. "Yes, she invited me to lunch with her and her son. Emma said that Henry and I are really close." "You are." David says growing serious. "The two of you share a very special bond." Regina nods. She was still so curious and confused about her past. It was all so unfamiliar and mysterious. One thing Regina did know was that being with Emma made her feel less confused.
