"How?" Regina asked.

"How what?"

"How did you fall in love with me?"

"I don't know. There isn't one thing to point to. It was like all of a sudden I would be doing something and I would think, 'I wonder what Regina would think of this' or if I was wearing my red jacket, I would think 'Regina is sure to have an eye roll or a remark to make, but at least she noticed.' You started to become a normal thought pattern in my brain and one day I just realized why that was. It was because I was in love with you. But you didn't seem to even notice. When I said I was taking Henry back to New York you were upset about me taking him, you didn't seem upset about me leaving, and it made me angry. I was angry that you couldn't see that I was right here in front of you and we were a family."

Regina was stunned by the heartfelt admission that she sat there merely staring at Emma, and not saying anything.

Emma began to feel uncomfortable under Regina's gaze.

"I was … I was devastated," Regina said. "Devastated when you left and not just because of Henry. Outside of work, I didn't leave home for anything for two weeks. I thought I had lost my chance to tell you how I felt when you left. I thought I should have said something, anything, even if you laughed at me because at least then I would know that there was no chance of us being together. Then when I came to New York I was determined to tell you but when you made me delay coming I lost my nerve, but after that first night I was has settled my nerves and was going to tell you. Then we got into that fight, and you were attacking me and I …"

"I'm sorry," Emma said getting up and coming over to sit beside her. "I am sorry for the things I said. I was hurt and I lashed out. I never meant to hurt you, or make you feel like you weren't Henry's mother. I'm sorry."

She reached out and put her hand over Regina's. She then brought her other hand up to Regina's face touching her cheek gently. She ran her palm down her check, ending at her chin which she cupped and pulled forward bringing her lips closer until – contact.

She let her lips brush Regina's lightly. It remained a light touch of the lips until Regina kissed her back more forcibly.

They continued to kiss a moment before pulling back.

Emma smiled first, and Regina followed suit.

"So," Emma said.

"So," Regina responded.

"Maybe we should get the kid some lunch," Emma said. "Together."

…

They walked into Granny's, Emma holding the door open for Henry and Regina.

"Emma!" Ruby said coming from behind the counter and hugging her. "Hey Henry," she said bending down and giving him a hug as well.

"Can we get a table for three?" Emma asked.

Ruby looked at Regina, "sure," she said leading them over to a booth. Henry sat on one side, and Emma let Regina enter the opposite side before sliding in next to her. "So what can I get you?" Ruby asked.

They gave their orders and were left alone.

"Are you and mom done fighting now?" Henry asked Emma.

"I hope so," Emma said looking at Regina.

"At the very least maybe we can avoid sending each other to jail cells," Regina said.

"Too soon," Emma smiled.

They were partway through their meal when Charming and Snow entered. They immediately saw Emma and Regina.

"You had our daughter thrown in jail?" Snow said coming up to them.

"Mom," Emma said determined to stop whatever this was before it started.

"And you," Snow said to Emma. "Maybe none of this would have happened if you hadn't have left. You left your family."

"Snow, I think Emma can explain if you give her the chance," Regina said.

"Explain what?"

"Well you see, I um …" Emma started to say.

"My moms are dating now."

Everyone turned to Henry. They hadn't told him anything about their talk; only that they were taking him out to eat.

Snow and Charming turned back to the two women. "Well?"

"Um, well, um …" Emma said.

"We aren't dating," Regina said. "Not that we won't but neither of us has actually asked the other one out yet."

"Is this true?" Snow asked Emma.

Emma turned to Regina. "Do you want to go out on a date with me?"

"I would love to," Regina smiled.

Emma turned back to her parents. "I guess we are dating."
