Regina watched as her son grew closer to the infuriating Miss Swan, even her husband had started to like her. She had to put an end to it and soon but she also didn't want to see her son get hurt so what ever she did she had to do it fast.
She got onto her phone and decided the best approach would be a direct one. She would speak to the blonde to finally set things straight. She dialled the blondes phone, when Emma answered she could tell that the blonde was infuriated, probably because of the wheel boot that was on her car. "Or walk whatever suits you" Regina said as she heard the blonde slamming the door to her car.
Regina sat in her desk finishing up her paperwork before the blonde came. Her head quickly snapped up when she heard violent knocking on the door. Regina told her assistant to let her her in via the intercom. She straightened her posture and her head as the blonde walked in. "You said you wanted to talk to me" Emma said.
"Yes I believe I did" the brunette replied as she stood up from her chair. She flattened out the wrinkles on her skirt before continuing. "I wanted to speak to you about Henry".
"Oh really" the blonde replied "the last time you wanted to speak to me about Henry, you made him think that I thought that he was crazy".
"Look Miss Swan this doesn't have to be difficult"
"Are you sure, you've made everything but difficult"
"Are you done yet" the brunette gestured with her hand.
"Fine madam mayor what is it you want to tell me about" Emma replied frustratedly. Regina turned on her heels so she was facing the opposite way before taking in a breath and sighing. "I know you didn't believe me when I told you that I love my son, Miss Swan" she said as she closed her eyes before opening them. "I ah" Emma was caught off guard and was not expecting that. Regina turned back around so she was now facing the blonde directly. "Look Miss Swan I Know I'm not the easiest person to deal with".
"Well you've got that part right" Emma mumbled. Regina ignored the statement before continuing "Any way Miss Swan I do love my son and that is why I have asked you here today".
"Yes I'm listening" the blonde replied.
"I'm going to give you an ultimatum"
"And ultimatum, what type of joke is that?"
"No joke I can assure you of that Miss Swan"
"Ok than what is this ultimatum"
"You might want to take a seat Miss Swan" Regina said as she pointed to the chair in front of her desk. Regina sat down in her chair, straight posture as always while the blonde just slumped in her chair.
"Slumping is bad for your back Miss Swan"
"What is this pick on Emma day" she said frustratedly.
"No I just simply don't want you teaching my son bad habits".
"Ok then Regina what is this ultimatum of yours".
"You leave and you never come back" the brunette said as her eyes darkened.
"What type of choice is that" the blonde replied with a raised voice.
"Look Miss Swan I'm giving you a way out"
"A way out from what"
"From hurting my son, because I swear if one tear of his falls because of you I swear you will regret it for the rest of your life" the brunette said with venom laced in her voice.
"I'm not going to hurt Henry" Emma replied disgustedly.
"Are you sure Miss Swan I've seen your History, every time something gets to tough for you, you run away. So I suggest you run now before Henry grows to attached to you and break is heart".
"How do you know about my history?" Emma replied.
"I'm a mayor of a town Miss Swan I have eyes and ears everywhere, and I can tell you from ten years of experience, that being a parent is not just being a friend to your child no it's much more. You have to be ready to make decisions that they will not like in order to keep them safe and you certainly do not leave them when times get tough". Emma could understand Regina's concerns, she had a bad history of running away but no this time things would be different and she would stay no matter what, she gave Henry her word and she wasn't just about to break it. "And what is the other option?" Emma asked.
"You stay"
"What?" Emma said with a raised eyebrow, she was certainly not expecting that as her response.
"Yes Miss Swan you heard right, you stay and you get to know my son".
"You will let me see Henry?" She asked.
"Yes but it would have to be supervised".
"Supervised by who"
"Most likely David dear"
"Your husband"
"Yes"
"And what's the catch?"
"No catch dear, it's simple you hurt my boy or anyone of my family and you will regret it".
"There's got to be more to it".
"No as long as you keep to my terms of you being supervised with my son then I see no issue".
"Why, why do I have to be supervised".
"Because Miss Swan your still a stranger being in a town for 3 weeks doesn't change that".
"Will things change?"
"Maybe, in time we'll have to see how things go"
