Poison & Wine

Chapter 28


They made it to the hospital fairly quickly. Emma parked the car and her along with Hook and Ariel ran into the building. She walked up to the nurse's desk and flashed her badge. "I need to know where Regina Mills and Neal Cassidy were taken."

The woman behind the counter looked through her files. "They were both admitted to trauma on the third floor." She told them.

Emma smiled softly. "Thank you." She led Killian and the redhead to the elevator and pressed the up arrow.

"We should change." The pirate noted as the three of them stepped into the small space. All of them were dripping water on the floor.

"I'll ask Whale if we can have some scrubs to wear." Emma suggested, rapidly punching the circular button with the number 3 on it.

Hook grabbed her hand and pulled it away. "I think it knows what floor we want, love."

The blonde turned to the Ariel. "Do you know what Ursula did to Neal?"

The mermaid shook her head. "I don't know anything. I was following Neal until he went in the direction of Ursula's grotto. I turned around to come back here when I ran into Regina. She went after him and told me to tell you that she was right behind me."

"Why didn't you go after him with her?" Killian asked curiously.

Ariel grimaced slightly. "My past with Sea Witch's isn't great. I've never known of any mermaid to meet Ursula and survive it."

Emma looked at the redhead. "Are they usually tortured?" She questioned. The lashes on Neal's body seemed meticulous.

The mermaid nodded. "Tortured and left for dead." She confirmed. "Regina saved his life."

Killian and Emma made eye contact for a moment before the elevator doors opened. The sheriff made a beeline for Dr. Whale when she saw him talking to a nurse.

"Hey, Whale!" She hollered, jogging towards him. "Regina and Neal. Have you seen them yet? Are they okay?"

The blonde man nodded at her presence. He was expecting her, but the soaking wet clothes had him confused. He grabbed her arm and led her away from her entourage. "I saw both of them already. What the hell happened?"

Emma let out a deep sigh. "It's a long story. What's their status? Can I go see Regina?"

"I'm about to go stitch up Neal, but if you'd like you can visit Regina. I must warn you that she's unconscious-"

Green eyes widened in panic. "Unconscious? What happened? What's wrong? Is she okay?"

Victor put his hand up to halt her. "Sheriff, I promise you she's all right. But I can't share her medical information with you. You know this."

"Damn it, Whale! I'm her girlfriend! And I'm the sheriff! Just fucking tell me! Regina won't care!" She rolled her eyes at his ridiculousness.

The man grumbled but he relented. "She's dehydrated and exhausted. We started an IV for her and a mild muscle relaxer. I promise that she'll be up and ready to go by tonight."

Relief flushed over the savior and she nodded. "Okay. How's Neal doing? You said he needed stitches? How many?"

"Miss Swan, I have to wait for his father to get here before I can release the information." Dr. Whale said firmly.

To his surprise, Emma was understanding of that. "Okay. Gold is on his way. You got any spare scrubs around for me and the other two?" She pointed to Hook and Ariel who were standing close to a wall, dripping water on the floor.

Victor raised an eyebrow but eventually nodded. "Room 310 is the laundry room. Folded emergency scrubs should be available."

"Thank you. Which room is Regina in?" The sheriff questioned.

"302." He informed her.


After changing into scrubs, Emma sent Hook and Ariel to the waiting room while she went to visit her girlfriend. When she walked in she brought her hand up to her chest over her heart and pouted slightly before she went over to the bed and placed a gentle kiss on the brunette's forehead.

She thanked her lucky stars that the mayor came back to her. With a steady hand, she tucked damp brown hair behind her lover's ear and stroked her cheek with the back of her hand. Regina looked fine physically, but who knows what went down under that water.

Brown eyes fluttered open at the feeling of warm contact to her cheek. Regina looked around and saw her girlfriend wearing scrubs for whatever reason.

Emma beamed as gazed down at the former queen. "Hey, baby." She said gently.

"Who are you?" The brunette questioned with confusion, deviously misleading the savior.

The blonde looked panicked. Her eyes widened as her heart sank. "I'll go get the doctor-" She scrambled and went to leave, but her arm was grabbed.

"I'm kidding." Regina was smiling tiredly. "I'm kidding." A small chuckle escaped her.

Despite her relief she growled, "You bitch," before she leaned down and kissed her true love for all she was worth. "If I wasn't so worried about you right now I'd punch you."

The mayor flashed a knowing look. "Please, dear. There's no need to lie."

Emma looked over the older woman appreciatively. "I thought I lost you." She confessed.

"Do I look lost to you?" The brunette asked. When her girlfriend didn't reply, she scooted to the side on the bed and patted the spot next to her. "Come here, honey." She instructed.

The sheriff did as she was told and carefully climbed on the bed to sit beside Regina. She put her arm around the former queen and held her closely. "You scared me…" Tears threatened to fall but she kept them at bay. "I can't live without you, baby."

The confession was surprising, but not unwelcomed. She turned on her side slightly and stroked her lover's cheek. "You'll never have to be without me, Emma." She swore.

"I better not, Madam Mayor." A few tears of pure relief and happiness fell, tracking stains down her cheeks..

Regina leaned forwards and kissed her slowly, tasting her lover's salty tears. "I'm sorry I worried you."

The savior shook her head. "It's fine. You're fine. You're here." She peppered kisses across the brunette's face. "I love you."

"I love you too." The older woman assured her. She chuckled softly, taking in her lover's attire. "Why are you in scrubs?"

The blonde laughed. "Oh. I ruined my clothes in the water. I also ruined my phone so I'll have to order another one."

Regina rolled her eyes at the impulsive woman. "You're as reckless as you are beautiful, Miss Swan." Emma grinned childishly and pecked her lips. She cleared her throat after they broke apart. "How's Neal?"

Emma shrugged. "Whale said he's okay, but he can't give me any information until Gold gets here and gives me the okay."

The former queen looked down at her IV. "And why am I in here?"

"Dehydration." Her girlfriend clarified. "You passed out from exhaustion." She licked her lips. "Regina, what happened down there?"

"Ursula happened." Regina informed her. "Neal made the monumental mistake of mentioning who his father was."

Blonde eyebrows furrowed. "Why?"

The mayor shrugged. "Why does Neal do anything he does? I think maybe he thought that Ursula wouldn't harm him if she knew his father was the dark one."

"Because they're both villains?" Emma questioned.

Regina scoffed. "I assure you that the sea bitch isn't a villain."

The savior disagreed. "She sliced up Neal. And Ariel said that she left mermaids for dead."

Brown eyes rolled. "I never said she was a saint. She's a murderous deviant, sure, but villain is a stretch."

Emma waved off the argument. "Regardless of whatever you deem appropriate to call her, she obviously harmed Neal. How'd you get him out of there?"

"Ursula doesn't kill herself." The older woman explained. "She strikes blood and leaves her victims to be killed by sharks or other large fish."

"So… how'd you get Neal?" The sheriff asked.

Regina cleared her throat. "I grabbed him when Ursula tossed him out of her grotto."

The younger woman nodded. "So Ursula never saw you." She breathed out in relief.

"No." The mayor comforted the blonde. "Although, for the future, Ursula couldn't defeat me even if she tried."

Emma shook her head and brought their foreheads together. "There will be no future where you leave me behind like that again."

"I didn't leave you behind to begin with." The patient argued.

"I mean it, Regina." Emma said firmly. "I thought I was going to have to explain to Henry why you wouldn't be home tonight. I thought that you weren't coming back. I thought that I would be alone-"

The former queen noticed that the blonde was starting to off on a rant so she brought their lips together to hush her. "I'm right here, dear." She reminded her and moved her hands over the woman's face. "You can't get rid of me that easily." She smiled as she used the same words Emma had said to her months ago.

Emma basked in the feeling of Regina's hands on her face. She breathed her presence in and rubbed her back. She moved her head and nuzzled her head in the older woman's neck for comfort.

Regina let her and happily ran her fingers through blonde hair. The couple sat like that for several minutes until the sheriff started laughing against her true love. "What?" The brunette asked with furrowed eyebrows.

The younger woman continued to chuckle. "Before the curse broke, Graham sent me flowers and I threw them in the trashcan. My mom made a big deal about it and I just told her that I don't get emotional over men. If only she knew how emotional I am over women."

A brown eyebrow rose. "I'm sorry, women? As in plural?"

"I meant, how emotional I am over one sexy as fuck mayor of Storybrooke." The blonde corrected herself and kissed Regina's neck.

"Mhm." The mayor approved. "That sounds more accurate."

Their moment was ended by a knock on the door. Hook opened the door in his blue scrubs and smirked at them. "I hate to break up this moment you're having, but the crocodile is here."

Emma nodded and sat up. "All right."

"I thought your leather outfits were awful. Scrubs are much worse." Regina curled her lip at the pirate as her girlfriend vacated the bed.

Killian glared. "Don't make me sneak in here and overdose you through your IV."

The sheriff rolled her eyes at the man and shoved him out of the room. "I'll be back." She told the mayor before shutting her hospital room door and walking with Hook. "You know she's going to kill you for that. Right?"

He shrugged as they headed towards Neal's room. "She'll want to."

"If she fucks me good enough afterwards, I'll allow it." Emma joked and knocked on Neal's hospital door.

Belle answered and let them in. "Hey guys."

Emma walked over to where Gold was sitting, staring at his unconscious son. "How's he doing?" She asked and sat down next to him.

Gold cleared his throat. "Whale said he probably wouldn't wake up until sometime tomorrow or the next time."

"He had an excessive amount of blood loss." Belle piped in. "Some of the lacerations became infected as well so he's on antibiotics."

The blonde nodded her understanding. "How many lacerations does he have?"

"Twenty-one." Gold choked out.

Emma could see the torture on his face. It was a look she had never seen or expected to see the dark one express. "He's safe now." She reminded the older man.

Gold clenched his teeth together in anger. "If it weren't for you this never would have happened to him." He growled out.

"Me?" Emma asked, offended.

The older man nodded. "Yes. If it weren't for you and your majesty then my boy would be all right."

"Rumple-" Bell began to scold, but Emma cut her off.

"If it weren't for me and Regina you wouldn't have even known where he was!" The savior yelled. "And if it weren't for Regina he'd be dead right now you dick!"

Gold looked over at her for the first time, his eyes showing misunderstanding. "Regina?"

Emma nodded. "Yeah. Your son got captured in Ursula's evil underwater cave and Regina saved him from being eaten by sharks or whatever the fuck that squid feeds mermaids to!"

"She's actually an octopus, love." Killian chimed in.

Green eyes rolled. "Not the time, Hook."

"I just like to be accurate." The pirate argued.

Gold was in disbelief. He knew the plan was for the Evil Queen to go after his son, but he never imagined she would save his life. He figured Neal had run into some trouble, but fought out of it and made his way back to shore. "Regina saved Bae?"

"Yeah. Despite how awful he's been to us, she had enough balls to rescue him! Something you lacked when the time came." Emma was over it. Her girlfriend risked her wellbeing to go after his son and he wasn't showing any bit of gratitude. She stood up and glared at him. "She went after the guy who's been trying to break up her relationship. She did that for you- for this town! So instead of blaming me and Regina for Neal's dumb behavior, how about your thank my girlfriend for saving his fucking life?" She went to leave and when she walked by Belle she said, "Tell Neal to call me when he wakes up." Is all she said before leaving the room, Hook right behind her.

"Ungrateful crocodile." Killian muttered as they headed back to Regina's room.

Emma nodded her agreement. "Let's hope Neal doesn't think as stupidly as Gold."

The pirate chuckled a laugh. "That's a lot to hope for, given recent events."

If she weren't so pissed off at Gold, she probably would have laughed. She opened the door to the mayor's hospital room and saw Dr. Whale talking to her. The pair stopped speaking the second the blonde entered the room, which worried her. "What's going on?" She asked.

Whale cleared his throat. "I'm just… discussing Mayor Mills' release with her."

Emma's lie detector went off. She looked past the doctor and into the brown eyes of her true love. "What's really going on?" She asked her.

Regina cleared her throat, offering the blonde woman a small smile. "I'll be able to go home within the hour." She revealed.

Before the sheriff could argue, Dr. Whale spoke up. "Her vitals look great and there are no signs of any physical damage to her body, so I'll be sending in a nurse with her paperwork."

After the doctor left the room, Emma turned to Hook. "Killian, will you go tell Ariel that everybody is fine?"

"Yep." The pirate said easily and exited.

"What's going on, Gina?" The savior asked, sitting on the end of the hospital bed.

The mayor was not amused. "I thought I told you not to call me that."

Emma took a deep breath to calm herself. She was still worked up over her disagreement with Gold and she didn't want to take that anger out on her lover. "What were you and Whale talking about before I came over?"

"My medical information." Regina told her.

"What about it?" The younger woman inquired.

"That's my personal business, dear." The brunette said and cleared her throat. "It's not to worry about."

The sheriff nodded slowly as she clenched her jaw. She didn't get what changed with Regina. What was so important in the woman's medical information that she couldn't share with her? "Fine." She said simply and slapped her own knee. "I'll be Hook in the waiting room until you're released. I wouldn't to invade your privacy."

"Emma." The former queen sighed her frustration. "Don't overreact to this."

"No." She shook her head. "I'm good. I get it." She assured the older woman. "I'll stay out of your business and in turn, you can stay out of mine."

Regina growled. "We were talking about the possibility of me having children!" She hissed. The younger woman was insufferable sometimes with her nosey behavior.

The blonde literally moved her head back in the shock. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out. She just stood there, looking like an idiot. When several beats went by, Regina rolled her eyes and spoke up. "Dr. Whale has been aware of my lack of menstrual cycle for years, so he usually doesn't ask me about it when he does the proper patient walkthrough, but I brought it up. We were simply discussing what it could possibly mean for my ability to have children. That's all."

The savior walked back over to the bed and sat by her girlfriend's thigh. Green eyes met brown. "What'd he say?"

"Nothing, because you came in with Hook!" The mayor exclaimed. "He did say that it was a possibility, but I know how you are. You get your hopes up with your unrealistic expectations and if we found out that I'm barren then I'll have disappointed you."

Emma shook her head, taking the older woman's hand. "No. You couldn't ever disappoint me, baby." She told her.

"Can we not talk about this?" Regina asked. "We can save this whole thing for another time, but right now we have too much going on."

"Sure." The sheriff relented, stuffing the topic in her back pocket.

The brunette cleared her throat. "How's Neal?"

"He's stable. Belle said that Whale told them he probably wouldn't wake up until sometime tomorrow or the next day, but he's okay."

Regina was relieved. They man may not be her favorite person in the world, but he was still Henry's father and as much as her girlfriend denied it, Baelfire meant a lot to her. "That's good. I'm glad he's all right."

"Me too." Emma agreed. "Those discharge papers need to hurry up so we can go get Henry and I'll bring you guys home."

Brown eyebrows furrowed. "You aren't going to stay the night?"

The blonde shrugged. "I wasn't planning to. I have to pick up the puppies from Ruby and drop Hook off at his boat. I was also planning to finish up some stuff at the station tonight."

Regina shook her head. "No you aren't, Sheriff. We're going to Granny's to pick up our puppies. Then we're going to drop off your pirate mascot at his boat with one of the said puppies, and after that we're going to pick up our son and go home." Emma grinned and the mayor furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

"You said home." Emma pointed out.

"The mansion is my home, dear. If you haven't forgotten." She teased, flushing slightly at her word slip up.

The blonde smirked. "No. You meant it that it was our home, which isn't true yet."

Regina raised a perfectly crafted eyebrow. "Yet? You're assuming I'll even allow your messy behavior to invade my house."

"I think you will." Emma said confidently. "When the day comes you can't stand a night away from me, of course."

The former queen laughed. "Don't hold your breath." The both knew the word held no value.

A knock on the door was followed by a woman with scrubs resembling Emma's came in. "Are you ready to go home, Miss Mills?"

Regina smiled at her girlfriend as she said. "Yeah."


"She what?" David exclaimed after his daughter told him and his wife the short version of the day's events. Henry and Regina were down in the bug, waiting for her to come down. Snow was stunned as they stood in her room while she packed an overnight bad.

"Doesn't she know how dangerous that was?" Mary Margaret asked. "Ursula is down there!"

Emma nodded, in full agreement with her mother. "I know. Trust me, it was a huge thing, but she's all right. Neal's alive. Everything is good."

Charming couldn't believe it. "Why didn't you call me?"

"It was your day off." The sheriff stated simply.

The man scoffed. "I think everything that happened would be a good reason to call me in."

Snow cleared her throat. "Why the scrubs?"

"Soaked clothes." Emma verified. She told Henry that it was because she lost a dare with Hook. "Look, we plan on telling the kid a watered down version of what happened once Neal wakes up, but don't say anything to anyone else. All right? I already told Ariel and Eric to keep it quiet."

"Is Ariel interested in pressing charges?" David wondered.

Emma shrugged. "I don't know. I'll ask her tomorrow." She rubbed her forehead. "Right now I just want to go hom-" She caughter herself and cleared her throat. "I just want to sleep and bask in the fact that my girlfriend is alive and well."

Her parents nodded in unison. "Of course, sweetheart." Snow smiled sadly at her and hugged her. She understood that it had been a hard day. "I'll see you tomorrow."


When they got to the mansion, it was nearly ten. They sent Henry to bed after making sure he had a proper meal and completed his homework. He badged them with questions about why they were both had late meetings and eventually came to the conclusion that they just went on a date and didn't invite him. The couple allowed him to think that so they could go to bed quicker.

Emma was in a wife beater and tiny yellow short while sat lied on the bed. Chief and Boss were both cuddled up next to her sleeping away. She stroked their fur soothingly as she heard the master bathroom door open and shut.

"They're getting fur all over my bed." Regina complained in her short night robe. She snuck under the covers and laid next to her lover, puppies between them. When she adjusted herself, Chief woke up and looked at her. She beamed and scratched his one dented ear. She found it adorable. "Hi handsome."

The sheriff chuckled to herself as she watched them. "And to think you didn't want him at first."

Regina remembered something then. "Oh yes. About that! I spoke with Mr. Zimmer. It seems he never had an interest in any of the puppies. You hoodwinked me, Miss Swan."

Emma cringed slightly, but she noticed the lighthearted tone her girlfriend sported. "I did it for your own good." She defended herself.

A brown eyebrow rose. "Oh really? Because it seems like you did for yourself."

"I did it for our family." She corrected with a grin. "You love Chief and he looks rather attached to you." She noted as the dark puppy licked the mayor's chin.

Regina couldn't help the smile that spread over her face as she kissed the puppy's head. "You still lied." She pointed out.

"It was a little white lie." Emma spoke. "Don't act all high and mighty. You lie to me."

The older woman opened her mouth in offense. "When have I ever-"

"The other day when you were sick? You said it was just a cold, but Henry told me you were throwing up like crazy."

Brown eyes rolled. "You can't compare my small fib to your manipulative lie."

Emma huffed a disbelieved laugh. "Manipulative?"

"I lied about my sickness to keep the beginning stages of our relationship alive. You're supposed to believe that I never do anything unpleasant for at least the first six months."

Blonde eyebrows creased together. "I heard you throw up right after our first kiss."

"We weren't dating then." Regina pointed out.

The savior chuckled. "You're just justifying your lie."

"It was harmless." The brunette told her.

Emma agreed. "So was my lie. You wanted Chief and I just helped your realize that."

"Now who's justifying her life?" Regina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Fine." Emma sighed. "We both agree that a lie of any caliber isn't healthy. Let's both apologize."

"You first."

Green eyes rolled. "I'm sorry for lying to you."

Regina nodded. "I'm sorry for trying to keep the magic alive in our relationship by lying to you about my sickness.

Emma laughed and picked up both of the puppies on the bed and softly tossed them to the edge by their feet. She quickly wrapped her girlfriend up in her arms and kissed her. "You could have explosive diarrhea and I'd still find you sexy."

The mayor was disgusted. Her nose crinkled at the thought. "That's literally the grossest thing you've ever said to me."

"You better get on board with the idea, baby." Emma told her. "When we move in together, things like that will happen. One of us will be showering and the other will have to-"

Regina covered her lover's mouth. "If you don't quit talking I'll never let you fuck me again."

They both knew it was an empty threat, but the sheriff nodded anyways. "Fine. Are you going to work tomorrow or are you going to take the day off?"

"I'm going to work." The brunette informed her. "I need to catch up on everything I missed today."

Emma nodded. "Do you want me to call you if Neal wakes up?"

The mayor shook her head. "No. You can just tell me in person. I'll be slammed tomorrow. I might even have to order delivery for lunch."

"Don't work yourself too hard, baby. I'll be wanting sex tomorrow." Emma wiggled her eyebrows.

Regina giggled and stroked her cheek. "Look at you, you're like a well oiled machine."

"It's your fault, walking around with that ass." She groaned in pleasure at the thought.

The former queen rolled her eyes. "Let's get some sleep."

Emma nodded her agreement. She kissed her gingerly. "Good night. I love you."

"I love you too." Regina assured her and kissed her one more time. "Good night, honey." She whispered, feeling the puppies curl up by her feet.


Henry opened the door to his mother's room and saw Emma on the side closest to the door on her stomach, arm out of the covers and wrapped around his adoptive mom. Regina was also on her stomach, face buried in the plush pillow. Chief and Boss were lying side by side on the bottom of the bed by his parent's feet.

"Moms." The boy whisper yelled. "It's time to get up." He poked his blonde mother roughly.

He was startled when Boss stood up and barked at him. That in turn, made Emma grumbled and dig deeper into the crook of the mayor's neck. "Hush!" She commanded.

"Ma! It's seven-thirty." He informed her.

"I don't care." Emma stated.

Regina was stirred awake by all the commotion as well as the breath against her neck. "I'm awake, darling." She told her son, moving until she was firmly on her back.

The sheriff was displeased. She snuggled back up to her girlfriend after the older woman adjusted herself on her back. "Put the dogs outside, kid."

"Fine, but mom needs to feed me." He declared. Then he whistled and patted his legs. "Come on guys. Outside." Chief and Boss stumbled off the bed and followed Henry out of the door.

Regina chuckled at the sight and looked at the closed lidded savior. "It's time to wake up, dear."

The blonde grumbled. "I know." She was exhausted. A nightmare hit her around two-thirty that morning and thankfully after a relaxing massage from the former queen, she was coaxed back into sleep.

"You can sleep in if you're really that tired, baby." The mayor assured her.

Emma's heart always fluttered when the brunette used the nickname that she used for her. "I'll be fine, dear." She traded with a tired grin.

Regina laughed and cupped her girlfriend's cheek, bringing their lips together. She meant it to be sweet, but Emma had other ideas as she bit the older woman's top lip in desire. Her strong biceps were able to pull the mayor on top of her. "Mm. No." Regina grumbled playfully, breaking the kiss and shaking her head. "Simmer down there, Swan."

"Come on, baby." Emma pouted. "I'll be real quick. I promise."

"Mom!" Henry yelled from downstairs. "I'm hungry!"

The sheriff huffed. "And… flat line."

Regina smiled and crawled off of her girlfriend and got off the bed. "Our son needs to be fed."

"Our son needs to be taught the importance of not cock blocking." The blonde corrected the older woman.

The scandalized gasp her lover let out made Emma laugh. "You need to watch your mouth in our house, dear." The second the words left her house, she went to bolt.

Emma shot up out of the comfy bed and grabbed Regina's hand to pull her back. The blonde was beaming. "I believe that's the second time you've injected me into this house."

Brown eyes rolled in defense. "Slip of the tongue." She assured her.

"You've got a pretty loose tongue then." The sheriff smirked.

"Mom!" Henry yelled again.

Emma breathed deeply. "In a minute, son! Damn!" She gazed at the bedhead woman. "Look, Regina, if you want me to move in, just say so." She teased.

Regina cleared her throat. "I want you to move in." She confessed. It started as a joke for the blonde, but hearing her true love admit that she wanted her there every morning made her near giddy, like she was some girly teenager. "But I know that it's positively too early in our relationship for such a move. Plus, you already have a home with your parents. I don't want to take that away from you so I'm not asking you to move in. We'll get to that stage eventually, but right now-"

"Breathe." Emma cut her off with playful smile. She rubbed her true love's arms. "First of all, I don't think it's too early in our relationship to move in. Honestly, I'm surprised you're even for the idea. I know how old-fashioned you are about such things." She teased. "And secondly, I just live with my parents. I love them and all, but home is wherever you are, baby." She confessed. "Wherever you and Henry are, that's my home. So if you want me to move in tomorrow, I'm all for it. If you want to wait six months or until we get married, I'll patiently wait."

The brunette got butterflies at the speech. "How about… next week?" She asked, picking at the nonexistent lent on the younger woman's wife beater.

"Sounds perfect." Emma grinned foolishly and passionately kissed her girlfriend.

"Mom!" Henry yelled again. "I'm going to die of starvation down here!"

The couple broke apart and Emma huffed her frustration. "We really need to teach that kid how to pour cereal."

Regina laughed and kissed the blonde one last time. "We'll talk more about this later." She promised and walked downstairs.

Emma showered and got dressed fairly quickly. She was in the middle of putting on her boots when she heard, "Emma! Come here!"

The blonde tied her hair up in a messy ponytail and walked down the stairs. Regina was flipping pancakes as Henry was chomping away on the ones his mom had already made. "What?" She asked the mayor.

Regina motioned to her connected cellphone. The savior looked down at the white iPhone. It read, 'Captain Guyliner.' She chuckled softly, sending an amused look to the former queen and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Swan. Neal woke up." He informed.


So how ungrateful was Gold? Douche. Lol. Neal will start a turn around after the recent events. Also, Swan Queen is going to move in together & things won't go as smoothly as they think. :P Of course tell me how you liked the chapter, what you think of the puppies & the progress that was made. I love knowing what you all think. Next post will be Friday!
