She's been gone for three years. I talked to her last month but I miss her more than anything. I usually get to talk to her every week so this is pretty nerve racking.
"Mom." I looked up from my breakfast to see our 14 year old son Henry standing there.
"Yes? Are you ready for school?" I asked taking a bite of cereal.
"Yes I was wondering if I could go over to Snows and David's after school?" I smiled.
"Of course honey." He smiled and went to the door.
"Love you mom!" He yelled from the door.
"Love you too." I yelled back as he shut the door.
I finished my breakfast and set the bowl and spoon in the sink putting the box in the pantry and the milk in the fridge.
I walked to the door and slipped on my heals. I grabbed my purse and keys and walked out to my Benz.

After a long mourning at the office I was about to leave for lunch when my phone rang.
"Hello? Mayor Mills speaking how may I help you?" "Regina!" It was Snow.
"What?" "I hate to be a bother but did you tell Henry he could come to my house after school?" "Yes is that a problem?" "No I just thought maybe not tonight David and I have plans." "Oh then tell him that I said he has to come straight home after school." "Will do." She hung up. I sighed frustrated.
I walked to Granny's and walked in and sat at Emma and I's booth. Ruby walked over.
"Usual?" She mumbled.
"No I would like a grilled cheese and choco with cinnamon." She looked surprised but said nothing and walked back to the kitchen to tell Granny.
When she came back I looked at the food with both longing and disgust.
Longing because I missed Emma's childness and always ordering something like this. And disgust because I was going to eat something that greasy.
But I gave in and took a bite. I didn't expect it to be this delicious but this was strictly a one time thing. When I finished I swiped my finger through the cream and remembered the first time Emma got me to try it.

"Come on Gina! Just a little sip!" She begged.
"Fine but only to get you to shut up." I reasoned. I took her mug and took a sip of the warm liquid. She giggled at me.
"What?" I asked sternly.
"It's just you got a little here let me get it." She said still giggling. She leaned foreword and kissed my upper lip swiping her tongue across it. She then kissed my nose and then whipped my nose with her thumb extracting what cream she didn't get.
"Really?" I asked when she say back.
"Oh yes Mad'm Mayor." She winked. I laughed and took her hand.
"Delicious but it's not happening ever again." I said stubbornly.
""Aww my Gwina is mwad." She said as if talking to a baby. I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly.

I smiled at the memory. But Emma's spot in front of me was a quipped.
"Uh." Was all I could get out to the man in front of me. "Can I help you?" I asked confused.
"No but I couldn't help to see that you looked happy about your drink." He winked I rolled my eyes and picked my hand up to show him my ring.
"I'm married." I deadpanned.  His smiled only grew.
"I'm not here to flirt with you I came to check on you." I looked at him confused.
"I'm sorry?" I asked.
"Your wife wanted me to check on you when I got back to the country so I'm doing what I was asked." I raised my brows.
"And what exactly did she tell you to do?" I asked curious. He lifted a fitting black dress.
"Well for one I was to by this lovely dress and give it to you personally." I scoffed.
"Really?" He nodded.
"Oh don't worry about me hitting on you in gay." I laughed and took the dress looking at the size. My size I blushed.
"How much did you pay for this?" He held up his hands.
"I didn't she did. I don't know how but all I had to do was pick it up." He stood and left leaving me with so many questions. I picked up my purse and walked back to my house calling my secretary and saying that I was taking the rest of the day off for something important.
I walked into my house and ran to my room and tore my clothes off. When I was in only my under wear and bra I slipped the dress on. But in the hanger was a necklace. I set it on my dresser and finished pulling the dress on. Then I picked it up to see it was a pair of dog tags. I hand flew to my mouth. I turned them over to see that it had Emma's information on it. I placed them around my neck and walked to my mirror and checked me out. She did this. Which means I'll never see her again.
When Henry came home I made sure to hide the tags and walked down the stairs.
"Your home early." He said as I walked down the stairs. I watched as he eyed the dress. "When did you get that?" He asked.
"I uh actually it's from your mother. She had it sent to me." I said with a sad smile. His face brightened.
"Then she's coming home!" I sighed."I bet she's on her way home now. Hey can I spend the night at Neal's house?" He asked taking his back pack off and hanging it on the rack.
"Ya sure go a head." He smiled and ran up the stairs and grabbed his over night bag. "Don't give any trouble to Tamara now!" I yelled. I heard him laugh. He came back down and hugged me before skipping out the door.
About an hour after he left I found myself sitting at the table just looking at the tags with grief.
My phone rang and I answered it annoyed.
"What?"  I snapped. "Hey can you come to my house I have something I need to tell you but I don't want to do it over the phone." It was David. "Ya whatever." I hung up and placed the tags in my bag. I walked to their apartment not bothering to drive.
When I arrived I knocked on the door and was greeted by a smiling man.
"Regina. Come in." I nodded and walked in. He told me to sit on the couch and went up the stairs to the loft. I didn't bother turning around when he came back down. He set his hands on my shoulders.
"You know your hands are a bit smaller than I remember David." He started to rub the base of my neck.
"Well then I guess I'm glad I'm not David." My eyes widened.
"Emma." I breathed and stood up and turned around to see her in her uniform smiling.
I ran around the couch and tackled her in a kiss. I heard cheering that cam from the other couple.
"What are you doing here?" I asked when I pulled away not allowing her to move out of my hold.
"I came home." She breathed. I wrapped my legs around her waist not wanting to let go. I didn't care that my dress was riding up. She placed her hands on my ass and squeezed lightly.
I heard the door open and close meaning they left. Emma sat me on the couch and began to strip but I stopped her when she was in just her tank and army pants. I pulled her down on the couch and kissed her lightly and just cuddled into her. She laid on top of me a feeling I never wanted to forget but I gradually did.
"You know not having sex for three years does something to you especially sense the one you want it with is this gorgeous woman that steals your heart every time she kisses you." I breathed.
She chuckled and wrapped around me like blanket.
"I love you Emma Swan-Mills." I kissed her cheek.
"I love you more Regina Swan-Mills." She kissed my neck making me moan. Something that hasn't gone out of my mouth sense the last night and mourning we shared.
