Emma woke the next morning with her arm around Zelena as she rested her head against Emma's bare chest; she smiled at the sight and thought about how lucky she was to have landed someone as amazing as Zelena. However, that didn't mean she wasn't nervous about meeting her family, from what Emma had heard, they were terrifying. Zelena had never had a good relationship with her mother, Zelena was born out of wedlock and Cora Mills even considered giving her up but after she met a kind and caring businessman, she was convinced to keep her unwanted daughter. Emma also knew that Zelena had a younger half-sister but, much like her relationship with Cora, the two have never gotten along and, although Zelena denies it, Emma knows she is envious of her younger sister for getting the life Zelena always wanted but Emma hopes to rid her of that envy once they're married. In an attempt to take her mind off the dreaded first meeting, she slowly trailed his fingers up and down her fiancé's arm until she began to stir.

Zelena slowly blinked her eyes and looked up at Emma with a small smile, tilting head up to kiss her softly.

"You ready to face your future today?" She asked with slight disgust.

Emma chuckled. "Babe, after this weekend we don't have to see them ever again, you're my happy ending, remember? If you don't want them to be a part of our future then all you have to do is say the words and we don't even have to acknowledge them, I promise."

"Ugh, how are you so perfect?" Zelena asked a now laughing Emma, her immediate response was to give her a kiss on the forehead before telling her how much she loved her.

It was now five hours later and the pair were about to board their flight to Storybrooke, Maine, but, as Zelena was off buying perfumes, Emma was wandering around the airport aimlessly when she saw a young dark-haired woman pacing around looking upset about something. Her first instinct, as a sheriff, was to approach her so that's exactly what she done.

"Excuse me," she said as he cautiously approached the woman. When she turned to face her she was speechless, this woman was beautiful. Emma quickly regained her composure before speaking again, "Are you okay? You don't look too good, if you don't mind me saying."

The nameless brunette let out a scoff. "Look, I have enough on my plate right now without some attractive stranger playing hero and 'offering' to help me when you're just looking for a way into my pants!", she snapped getting lost in the blonde's green eyes briefly. 'She's not half bad actually, although, the jacket could go', she thought.

Emma was taken aback by her comment, not because she insinuated she was looking to get into her pants but because she basically told her she was attracted to her. She put her hands up in front of her as if to say she means no harm and said; "Woah, hey, my name is Emma Swan and I'm the sheriff, I just saw you from back there and you looked upset so I thought I could maybe help. I promise you that they were my only intentions, I mean, you're beautiful but I, uh... Are you okay?" She stuttered nervously. The sheriff doesn't even know this woman and already she's got her flustered.

The brunette's eyes widened slightly as she realised her mistake and put her hands to the top of her head, taking in the stranger's words. 'Wait, did she call me beautiful? Damn it Regina, focus!' she thought. "No, I am not okay!" She snapped before taking a breath to calm herself. "My son, I can't find him and he's only five-years-old and our plane is boarding soon, I just... I don't know where-"She began but was cut off by choking back a sob.

Emma didn't know why but her heart went out to the woman, she just wanted to take her into her arms and tell her that everything was going to be okay, the thought of Zelena completely leaving her mind.

"Hey, don't panic, I'll help you find him, I promise, Miss..." Emma stopped herself, realising that the woman hadn't properly introduced herself.

"Regina. Regina Mills. My son's name is Henry." She informed her.

Emma nodded. "Henry. Alright, Regina, this is what we're going to do, I'm going to look around the arcades and stores, he wouldn't go anywhere he wasn't interested in. Whilst I'm there, I need you to inform security of what's happened, it's better if we have them looking too because they can the cameras." Regina nodded but still had a panicked look on her face; Emma gently grabbed hold of her upper arm. "Hey, look at me, we'll find him, I promise." She smiled softly before letting her go and running off to find Regina's son.

As Emma frantically but calmly searched the arcade area, she spotted a lone young boy staring at a machine. Carefully as not to startle the boy, she crouched down beside him. "Excuse me, is your name Henry?"

The child looked at her with a scared expression. "Mommy told me not to talk to strangers." He said in a quiet voice.

Emma smiled, 'Of course she did', she thought to herself. "Henry, my name is Emma Swan, I'm the sheriff of Boston police department. I can prove to you that I'm not bad or a stranger, I was just talking to your mom, her name is Regina Mills and she's really worried about you. Kid, I promise that I won't hurt you, I'll take you straight to your mother."

Henry still looked unsure of Emma to which the blonde woman chuckled. "Kid, how about this? I give you my badge and cellphone and if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe then you call 911, how does that sound?" She asked holding her badge and phone out to the boy.

The five-year-old nodded before taking them and then Emma's hand, allowing himself to be led to his mother.

Emma moved quickly through the airport but made sure to keep Henry amused until Regina spotted them from a security post, she sped across the airport, calling for her son before picking him up and wrapping him in her embrace.

"Henry, sweetie, you can't run off like that ever, okay? You really scared mommy, are you okay?" She asked, relieved to have her baby boy back.

"Mommy, Emma helped me find you, she's a sheriff and she gave me her phone and her badge! It was so cool!" Henry told her eagerly.

Emma watched the scene unfold until she heard her name mentioned as Regina was now looking at her. "Thank you," she mouthed. Emma smiled at her and gave a friendly nod. She was, however, surprised when Regina stepped forward and kissed her on the cheek.

"Mom, mom, can we fly with Emma, please? Please mom, can we?" Her son begged.

Both Emma and Regina chuckled.

"Sweetie, I don't think Miss Swan is on the same flight as us. Besides we're going to see your grandparents, I'm certain Miss Swan wouldn't want to face a barrage of questions on their first meeting." Regina joked. She couldn't believe she was making jokes about her saviour meeting her family, she had basically just implied that there would be a second meeting between the two.

"But mom-" Henry began to whine but was cut off by Emma.

"Don't worry, kid, I'm sure we'll meet again soon. Anyway, I'm the sheriff, I know everything about everyone so I'll know if you run away from your mom again and next time, I might not be so generous and let you hold the badge. Maybe when you and your mom are back in Boston you could give me a call, just call up the sheriff's department. I know I'd love to see you and your mom again." Emma smiled, not noticing Regina's blush. 'Stop Regina, she's probably married, anyway, since when did I like women?' was all that popped in her head.

Henry agreed to Emma's proposition whilst Emma and Regina stared longingly at one another until the intercom came on and announced the flights to Maine were now boarding. Their attraction to each other was extremely obvious to everyone apart from them.

"That's, uh, that's us. Thank you for your help, Miss Swan, maybe we'll take you up on your offer." Regina told her with a shy smile.

Emma reached her hand out to Regina, shaking it lightly, but before the brunette could let go, Emma held her grasp a little longer. "Please, think about it. I'd love to see you again, Regina." She blushed again but this time, the blonde noticed. 'Beautiful and cute,' Emma smiled inwardly to herself.

They were both reluctant to let the other's hand go but after a nervous chuckle from Regina, Emma finally let her go, watching her walk away with Henry in tow, thinking about how she may never see either again. Suddenly, she was broken out of her trance when a woman wrapped her arms around her waist. Zelena.

"Hey you, ready to go?" She asked.

Emma smiled at her and gave her a peck on the lips.

"Always."

So, Emma and Regina have had their first meeting. How do you think they'll react when they discover who the other actually is? All thoughts and opinions are welcome, please review, I'd love to see what you guys want to happen next. Until next time J
