Okay so Graham was perhaps the only one that had reverted away from Regina and gone to Emma instead but it still confused the hell out of Emma how blind men seemed to be. Sure she was blonde, fit and the savior but Regina was sexy, beautiful, intelligent and absolutely stunning even though she was somewhat confused. There was so much more to Regina that meets the eye and Emma could see that. Emma could see the pain that was held ever so deeply in Regina's eyes as it was the same lonely, betrayed sense of pain that she had felt her entire life.

Despite what her parents or Storybrooke may think if she spoke her thoughts out loud herself and Regina seemed to have a lot in common right down to the point where they would argue, scream and throw punches all just to feel something even if it was pain - especially if it was pain, that was all either of them seemed to have left to feel. Sure she had Henry but Henry equaled pain as well especially when she found everytime she looked at the boy she saw Regina, she saw the years she had been without the little boy, she saw what taking him away from Regina had done to the woman - truthfully Emma couldn't blame her for any of the hatred Regina felt towards her. No she wouldn't blame her.

Sitting at the counter she continued head resting on her palm as she stared at Regina who was sat having breakfast by herself in one of the diner booths whilst Hook, Neal and August argued behind her. It was over Henry and who was the better swordsman Neal, Hook or August, personally Emma didn't want either of them teaching Henry, none of them were the boys family, sure Neal was by blood but he had only provided the sperm and then abandoned her to prison where she had to put her son up for adoption. Funny how things work out that way.

In someway she should thank Neal for everything he did to her. If it wasn't for him Emma would never have given Henry up for adoption, Regina wouldn't have adopted him, Henry would never have come looking for her, she would never have ended up in Storybrooke and she would never have met Regina Mills - a woman with a difficult past.

"Who do you think she teach Henry?" Neal spun towards her and inquired.

Emma was jolted out of her thoughts as she turned to face the three men standing there awaiting an answer. Three completely different men; Neal who she had at one time believed was her true love, she loved him to the point she would have given her life for him. Then there was Hook who she had a small amount in common with and then there was August a man who had done nothing but be there for her until she had found out he was one of the reasons Neal had abandoned her for.

With a shrug she looked towards Regina, "Why don't you ask Henry's mother?"

Neal straightened when his eyes landed on the brunette sitting at the booth alone. "She is not Henry's mother and she will have nothing to do with our son."

Emma's head snapped around and she stood. "Not our son," she pointed between herself and Neal. "Our son," she pointed between herself and Regina. "Henry has nothing to do with you apart from sperm. I gave birth to him and Regina cared for him for ten years."

"Why are you defending her?" August inquired in his calming voice.

"Why shouldn't I? Give me one reason why I shouldn't? Give me one example how we aren't all the same?" Emma pointed out and awaited an answer. None came and with a nod she moved over to the table. Standing in front of the former Mayor she stared down at the woman. "Is this seat taken?"

Regina looked up at the woman and with a sigh folded up the paper she was reading and stood. "It's all yours Miss Swan."

"I meant to sit with you Regina."

"I have no intention of conversing Miss Swan." With that Regina paid for the coffee and breakfast before making her way towards the door. She stopped hand latched to the handle as she looked over her shoulder back at the blonde. "Make no doubt about it Miss Swan, Henry is not my son you and he have both made point of that."

Emma watched as Regina left. She watched the confidence in the other womans stride. The strength in the womans posture. The resistance to breaking down, to appearing weak in front of others. Why would men choose somebody like herself over someone like Regina? Why would men not take the time to get to know Regina? She was worth every moment of time and in that moment Emma swore she would be the one to get to know Regina.

Okay this is more than likely going to be a small story in other words no more then 10 chapters probably even less and it will end with a happy SwanQueen ending as should the actual show. Hope everyone enjoyed reading the first chapter.
