Memories

Chapter 5

"Look I'm not having this fight right now. Just call the babysitter for me okay!" Emma hung up the phone angrily as she walked back to the pirate, that stood minding her place in line.

"What has her highness done this time Swan?" Hook smirked knowingly at the blonde.

"It's like everything I do she has to moan and complain about! What did I ever see in that woman!" Emma ranted to her best friend, as she played with the silver chain around her neck that still held her wedding ring.

"Her ass?" The pirate joked, earning a punch from Emma.

"That's the mother of my son you're talking about, so quit it!" Emma warned the man, who knew that he had overstepped the mark.

"Sorry Swan, but I think you've just answered your own question. Regina is the mother of your son, that's what you saw in her and still see in her." Hook made a point of lifting the chain up with his hook.

"It wasn't just that, Regina she's...the most amazing woman I've ever met, and she's beautiful and caring and" Hook placed his hand over the blondes mouth.

"Don't tell me Swan, grow a pair and tell her!" Hook challenged the blonde.

"I can't and you know it. Regina isn't interested, plus she with Ruby now anyway." Emma rolled her eyes at the mention of the brunette's name. She was more than hurt when Henry had told her about their relationship, Emma had considered Ruby to be one of her friends and then she went and did that behind Emma's back. Well...Regina and Emma had been divorced for over 2 years when she made a move, but it still hurt Emma nonetheless.

"I suggest a fight to the death, you show her those sweet moves we've been working on and then carry your woman into the sunset!" Hook joked before taking a swig of whatever concoction he had in his flask.

"I'm not gonna kill Ruby, if Regina and me aren't meant to be then that's that!" Emma pushed the man gently, making him rock.

"Yeah, killing people, that's more of Regina's style than yours." Hook joked, earning yet another punch from Emma.

They took longer than expected in the comic bookshop, by the time they were back on the road it was well past 8. Hook was well on the way to passing out like always, he never lasted on long trips like this. Emma was about to call Regina to tell her she was on her way when she felt her phone start to buzz in her back pocket. Shifting in her seat, Emma tried to retrieve the phone with steering car. Unluckily for her she missed the call just as she was able to pull the phone from her pocket.

"Shit! Hook can hit play my voicemail for me please..." Emma handed the phone to the drunk man, who placed the phone on speaker and waiting for the message to play.

"Emma it's Regina! Don't bother showing up tonight, you've already wasted the majority of your night with Henry! I hope whatever it is you are doing was worth it!" Emma's blood started to boil, she couldn't believe the brunette.

"Call her back, I'd like to have a word with our not so beloved Mayor!" Emma hissed through gritted teeth.

"Swan, you're angry and not thinking straight. Talk to Regina tomorrow and explain what happened, don't do something you'll later regret." For once Hook had a point, so Emma decided to leave it and instead focused on the darkened road.

Text after text were sent from the angry brunette, but Emma resisted the temptation to answer any of them. She knew that Regina just needed to blow off some steam and the blonde was her favourite punching bag as of late. Hook had fallen asleep about an hour ago. Emma looked over at her sleeping friend for a second, taking her eyes off the road and missing the large pickup that was heading right for them...
