So alright everyone, here's chapter one of a fic I whipped up in a few days because I had the idea in my head and had to get it down on..well in this case...a word doc. The characters kind of go OOC but it's cute the interactions between Emma and Regina. I hope you enjoy! (Once again this is a finished fanfic but I'll post it in chapters)

We all climbed onto Hook's ship and the few of us who knew how to sail it helped Hook. The rest just watched. Regina being one who watched. As I worked with the rope I kept an eye on her. She was worried about Henry and you could clearly see there was a lot on her mind. There was a lot on mine too seeing as how her and I single handedly just saved the town together and neither of us totally knew how that happened. I know that I can use magic and that it is a white or pure magic but there was something different about when I helped Regina steady the diamond.

"Alright mates we're good." Hook broke the silence between us all and started to talk to his crew. I snuck away and went towards Regina. I didn't know what to say. She was looking over the water and her eyes were glossy with tears.

"Hey." She jumped and let out breath she didn't know she was holding. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." I looked on with her over the water. "He's going to be alright Regina. We're going to save Henry." She was quiet.

"I hope so. I've lost everyone I've ever cared for and I don't know what I would do without Henry. Especially now that I know he actually does love me." Her voice was shaky and raw with emotion.

"He always cared about you Regina." I never looked over at the emotional woman but I knew she was watching me. "No matter what he said he always cared." I turned my gaze towards her and saw the hope in her dark eyes. "I'm not sure why but I've always been able to read people and tell when they're lying and I could always tell he loved you." A small smile crossed Regina's lips.

"Thank you." Her voice was small. "For letting me know that. And for taking care of him since I couldn't. I won't lie, I didn't know if you could take care of him considering your past but you did well." Knowing Regina how I did, I knew that was a compliment.

"You raised him. I just made sure he had food, water, and a bed." Her eyes narrowed. "I'm joking. I made sure he was safe and all that." Regina rolled her eyes. In my own way I was cheering her up. Or at least lightening the mood. "I should be thanking you actually. You raised him well. Much better than I ever could." Before Regina could open her mouth Hook's voice rang through the ship.

"Alright it's getting late. We need to get our rest. Since there's not enough room we'll be pairing up for bunkmates." Oh great. I don't want to be put with him. "Snow and Charming, Crocodile and Regina, and then I," Hook walked up to me and invaded my space. "Will bunk with Miss. Swan."

"Oh Hell no!" Regina, Gold, and I spoke in unison. I looked over to Regina who had her arms crossed and shooting daggers at Hook with her eyes.

"I will bunk with Regina. You and Gold can work things out." I pushed him away a bit and leaned where I was standing. Regina just watched me shocked. I knew my parents were probably shitting bricks.

"What are you up to?" Regina was curious but the tension of her not bunking with Gold was gone.

"We need to talk so best we bunk together. Besides, you don't want to bunk with anyone but me." I leaned over and grinned. "Or do you want to bunk with Hook? He does have the hots for you." Regina smirked and rolled her eyes.

XXXX Later that night XXXX

Sadly all there was to sleep on was straw and rags. It was far from what Regina was used to sleeping on. "Here take my coat." I took it out from beneath my head and tossed it to Regina. The cabin was small so we were just a few feet from each other. She looked at it a moment.

"Are you sure?"I smiled and she placed it under her head. A few moments passed before she spoke again. "Why are you being so nice to me now? I figured you'd want to bunk with your parents."

"I'm not sure. Despite what anyone says you have changed. You had a little bit of a setback but you meant well. Everything you've ever done you've done it because of Henry. He's your main reason for doing anything. Especially now because you know Mary Margaret darkened her own heart." I could feel the shock on Regina's face as I laid on my back staring at the ceiling. "Yeah. She told me."

"You're not mad about that?" Regina was trying to figure me out. I thought it was cute. She's always been able to know everyone's move but mine.

"You didn't kill her which also shows that you've changed." I turned my head to look at her. "If we're going to save Henry we need to work together again. Can we do that?"

"Yes." That was all she said.

"Good. Because I'm not letting Hook, Gold, or anyone else lay a hand on Henry. Or even fully help for that matter." I got comfortable again and rested my head on my arms.

"I can understand Hook and Gold but not even your parents? I thought family always worked together." I chuckled at the confusion in her voice.

"They do. Normally. But in this case, I think I'd kill them both if I had to work with them constantly. All of their lovey dovey shit gets on my nerves and David…he's not all that bright." Regina laughed for the first time in what I'd imagine to be quite awhile.

"No comment." I looked over again with a coy grin.

"Oh please. Mask your extreme joy and gratitude that you're not going to be around them constantly. And that I agree with you about my…about David." We were quiet a moment. "Now come on, let's get some sleep. It's going to be a long day tomorrow." I rolled onto my side so I wasn't facing her.

"I'll try but no promises." I chuckled.

"Goodnight Regina."

"Goodnight."
