Regina's p.o.v*
The bell rings and I gather my stuff for the day. Oh, Emma's backpack!
I throw it over my shoulder and load my car. I've never been to Emma's house before so I have to check my campus portal before leaving to take her stuff. Great. I start my car and google maps leads the way.

About 20 minutes later I arrive at Emma's house and get out of my car with her backpack. *knocking on the door.* I wait patiently. "Regina?"
I hear. "Oh, Emma. You left your backpack in my class." "Um, Okay. Come in I guess. I'm making dinner if you wanna stay."
I walk in and henry is sitting at the table dangling his little feet. "Hey, kiddo." "Hey, Regina!"
"How have you been bud."
"Great what about you?"
"Excellent myself." I hear a sigh and look up at Emma with her hands on her face. "Can you watch henry I have to go get some chicken I forgot the most important part?"
"Yeah sure."
I look at Henry smiling. And Emma grabs her keys and runs out the door. "So how's school."
"I'm only 7 I don't go. But mommy has been teaching me more words every day. I got to read the dictionary the other day. It was so much fun."
I lean back in my seat and I'm shocked. "You're old enough to start kinder, I'm gonna have to talk to your mom about that. The dictionary though? Really?"
"Yes, I did."
"What's your favorite word?"
"Well, I don't know. I think... Iridocyclitis. It's an eye disease to shorten it up but I got that from a vine, not the dictionary  I found it in there and it was super funny.."
"Well. Big word for a little guy."
"That's what Ruby said."
"Oh yeah.."
"Yep and she also said that mommy has a crush because she seems so happy lately."
"Well. I wonder who it could be."
"Probably this boy named Killian she met at school."
"Killian jones?"
"Yeah, how do you know him?"
"I have him from my 4th period. He's a pain in my A.S.S."
"I know what ass is, and why? Mommy brings him home every Thursday and they do stuff. But I'm always at Belle's on Thursdays. Belle take me out Thursdays or Ruby's."
"Oh is that so..."
"Yep. Mommy said they're just friends. But Ruby says they're F.W.B. and I don't know what that means."
"Well. Let's keep it that way." Some time goes by and I sit wondering about what Swan and Mr. Jones do every Thursday and why a good girl like her would hang out with someone so rotten. 
I hear the door click open and in comes Emma. "Sorry. It took a long. The line was bugging. What did I miss."
"Nothing henry was just telling me about his dictionary and your friend killian."
"Oh what he say about him.."
"Not too much. Just that you guys were friends."
"Yep. Just friends."
I look at her and she doesn't make eye contact. In fact, she looks nervous as if I'm going to reveal some big secret of hers. "Actually swan you don't have to cook for me. I have my own food waiting for me at home."
"Oh... But I insist stay."
"No, really it's okay. I think I want to make my famous apple turnovers anyways. I appreciate the invitation though! I really do. Enjoy your evening!"
She gets up turns around and walks over to me to hug me. As she hugs me she smells so much like cinnamon and chocolate. "Thank you for coming."
I ungrip her and look at her in her pretty green eyes. "Anytime."
