Thought Id update two chapters to begin with. Hope you like this one.

The next evening.

Regina was in her study doing paperwork as she sipped a glass of apple cider, it was coming up to 9:34 PM and she wondered if thesavior would be online.

She shook her head, no I've got to get on with this and then to bed, she thought and a few moments later she was tapping her hand on the desk.

The words were not sinking in, as thoughts of her conversation with thesavior began to take over her mind.

She sighed.

Ten minutes, I'll log on for ten minutes, she won't be there, she reasoned.

And three minutes later.

AlwaysRegal has entered The Enchanted Forest.

She scanned the names on the left hand side toolbar and no Thesavior. She pouted, but then she saw Huntsman on the screen and she knew he knew thesavior, so she asked.

Alwaysregal: Hello huntsman, do you know if thesavior will be online tonight?

Huntsman: hey alwaysregal, I'm not sure ill find out if you want?

Alwaysregal: No, that's okay, she's probably busy.

Huntsman: doubt that, she doesn't have many friends or family around, il message her :)

Regina put her head in her hands, I shouldn't have asked, she thought and a couple of minutes later Graham said

Huntsman: you still there Alwaysregal?

Alwaysregal: Yes, I am still here.

Huntsman: she said to say hey and she can't get online tonight but she will pop on tomorrow around 9.30pm if you want to chat?

Alwaysregal: Yes, say hello back for me and yes tell her I will speak to her tomorrow evening.

Huntsman: Okay, will do

Regina then smiled and logged off. While Graham chuckled and messaged Emma back, who was on a night shift.

Alwaysregal says hello back and shell speak with you tomorrow, sounds like you've made an enchanted forest friend lol and she logged off straight after I think she just came online to see you ;)

Emma smiled widely and chuckled, as she sat in the squad car with her partner Smith.

"What's so funny," Smith asked, watching people come out of a small corner shop, as they were parked on the corner.

Graham, he's on the chat rooms again.

"Oh, I never go on them," he replied.

"No, I didn't either, until Graham."

"I hope you were careful."

"Yeah, no personal details. I know."

She then leaned back in the seat of the car and for the next few hours watched and patrolled without much incident.

June 29th 2007

"Auntie Zee" Henry shouted, as she came to sit at their table in the diner of the town.

"You're getting big," she replied ,with a smile as she placed her bag down next to her and straightened her black dress.

"Yeah I'm going to be eleven soon," he grinned goofily.

She smirked and then looked to her sister, who looked conflicted.

"Sis," Zelena said.

"Zelena," Regina replied firmly.

"Please be nice," Henry said and both looked to him with a frown.

"Last time auntie Zee came to see us, you two had an argument about grandma."

"I know and how is mother," Regina asked with a smirk and raised eyebrow.

"I don't want to get into another argument about mother and yes she's still the same."

"She still thinks I'm a small town Mayor with no ambition then," she asked with sass.

Zelena sighed.

"I came to see you and Henry, you know I don't think that."

Regina nodded and relaxed slightly.

"She just makes me angry," she replied.

"I know, let's just have our lunch and enjoy our day."

"Mom can I have a cheeseburger and fries," Henry whined as he looked pleadingly at her and she smiled at him.

"Only if you promise to do your homework tonight" she replied.

"Deal," he said happily.

Half an hour later.

"I have to say the food never changes here," Zelena said and smirked at Henry who nodded.

"Yes, same old Storybrooke," Regina muttered while dabbing her mouth with a napkin.

Zelena frowned.

"If you are not happy here sis, you could always come live in Washington with me."

"And be near mother, I don't think so." She then noticed her sister's expression drop and she added, "but thank you for the offer."

"How long are you staying for," Henry suddenly asked.

"Just the weekend Henry, I've got to get back for work."

"Oh, but you be coming back soon though right," he asked hopeful.

"Sure, maybe next month if that's alright with Regina," she looked to her sister with a smile.

"That would be nice," she replied softly.

They then spent the rest of the day at the park and went back to the mansion where Zelena unpacked and wondered the garden.

"It's exactly how I remember," she said.

"Of course it is," Regina replied with a smirk.

"You know I haven't visited in five months, things could have changed." She crossed her arms looking up at the apple tree.

Regina scoffed and in a whisper said "if only" in her mind.

"Henry seems happy here," Zelena suddenly said , bringing Regina out of her musings.

"Yes, very. He's doing very well at school."

Zelena nodded.

"How about you?"

"What about me?" Regina snapped crossing her arms and looking also at her tree.

"You seem the same as when I last saw you, you seem down."

Regina sighed.

"Yes, I am a little, maybe the long periods of isolation have made me..."

"Sad?"

Regina glared at her sister.

"You need a man," Zelena said as a matter of fact.

Regina blinked a few times.

"My track record with love kind of puts me off."

Zelena shook her head. "You never let anyone get close enough, after Daniel ,you kept all suitors at arm's length until you pushed them away."

"I loved Daniel," Regina softly said, thinking back on her short time with the boy that stole her heart and then suddenly died in a freak car accident.

A tear formed in her eye.

"It's been ten years Regina," her sister said softly as she stood a few feet away.

"I know, I think I'm waiting for that person who makes me feel, as he made me feel."

Zelena sighed.

"When you do find him sis, promise me your go for it, don't push him away."

Regina chuckled.

"I probably wouldn't let them out of my sight let, alone push them away," she chuckled and Zelena shook her head with a smile.

9.15pm

Regina, Zelena, and Henry were watching a film on the TV in the large lounge of the mansion. When Regina noticed the time and she thought, "shit! I'm meant to be online in 15minutes."

She started to fidget with her hands and then checked what time the film was ending – 9:40!

She won't mind if I'm a little late, she thought as 9:30 passed.

"That film was alright," Henry muttered as the credits came on the screen and Zelena picked at her black dress.

"I'm going to my room," he then declared.

"Night Henry," Zelena said and he gave her a hug and then gave his mom a hug.

"See you guys in the morning," she shouted as she went up the stairs.

Zelena then yawned.

"It's been a long da,y" she said.

"Yes, I am glad you came down to see us."

"Me too, I do miss this place," she said softly looking around the room.

"If I remember correctly, you was never fond of this place," Regina teased.

"True, but I realize now that I do, maybe not a lot but still," she smirked.

"Well, you will be pleased to know that the man you dated that I used to call a monkey, is miserable and his now divorced," she sipped her wine.

Zelena grinned.

"Yeah? That's the best news I've had all year," she chuckled then added. "Serves him right for cheating on me with that bitch."

Regina nodded.

They then spend the next half an hour talking until Zelena declared that she needed sleep and Regina rushed off to the study and turned on her computer hoping, Emma would be there.

She tapped her fingers impatiently on the desk, her palms were slightly sweaty.

AlwaysRegal has entered enchanted forest.

Huntsman: SHE'S HERE EMMA.

Regina gaped and then shook her head at the screen, with a grin.

AlwaysRegal: Sorry I'm late.

Thesavior: It's about time, I was just about to log off!

Huntsman: no she wasn't AlwaysRegal

Thesavior: Oi

AlwaysRegal: Well I am glad you did not.

Thesavior: How are you?

AlwaysRegal: I am well thank you, my sister is here for the weekend and that's why I am late.

Thesavior: Oh, you have a sister, is she like you?

AlwaysRegal: Yes and No.

Thesavior: okay well thanks for still coming online.

Huntsman: Emma's got an online friend

Thesavior: Shut up huntsman :)

AlwaysRegal: How long have you and the huntsman actually known each other for? Regina asked, she wondered if these two had been an item or if they liked each other in that way.

Thesavior: A couple of years, we worked together in my old job. were in different states now :(

Huntsman: yeah you need to come back its not the same without you here, but no you have to keep moving around, she never settles in one place.

Regina raised an eyebrow. Emma had never stayed in a place long! interesting...

Thesavior: Thanks a lot huntsman.

AlwaysRegal; Maybe she hasn't found a place that feels like home.

Emma gaped her the screen. How could this woman understand.

Thesavior; Ill let you know when I do.

Huntsman: Ill be surprised when you do.

Thesavior: shut up.

Regina chuckled to herself.

And before she knew it, it was 1:02 AM and she was logging off and heading to bed. And unknown to her, Zelena had got up half an hour earlier for some water and wondered past the slightly open door to see her sister chuckling at something and had a beautiful smile on her face.

She was defiantly going to ask her about it tomorrow, she thought.
