"Olivia Benson! You better have a damn good reason you're sending Emma undercover!" Regina said as she slammed the door the Olivia's office.

Olivia looked calmly up at Regina, "This was not my call. The chief of Ds decided this and I found out at the same time as Emma."

"Well, how the hell do we get her out of this assignment?" Regina said clearly hysterical, pacing around Olivia's office. "She can't go into Riker's Island. What is she even investigating? How are you not freaking out right now? I thought she was your best friend?!"

"She's already been assigned and is being briefed now. There's nothing I can do! You know I would do anything for Swan. But to be totally honest, I'm not sure what she's investigating. They haven't told me yet. If I had to take a guess, I'd think it would be the correctional officers taking sex as payment for favors, drugs, or any other form of corruption from the C.O. or the warden. With Swan's military background they thought she would be the best suited for the job." Olivia finished as Emma and Alex walked in.

"Hey babe!" Emma said trying to kiss Regina.

"Don't you 'Hey babe' me!" Regina hissed.

"Whatever is I did, I didn't do it." Emma.

"That doesn't even make sense, you idiot. Why the hell are you going undercover?!"

"Because I have to? Babe, I don't have a choice. It's not my call."

"You're not going." Regina said calmly as she sat down and crossed her legs with tears and defiance in her eyes.

"Regina, look at me." She waited but Regina never did.

"I said, you're not going, Emma. What happens if something happens to you? What about Georgia, hmm? You're just going to go to down to the prison gallivanting acting like some big hero, and what?! Get yourself killed and leave us to mourn over you because you're a damn idiot!"

"Baby, that's not going to happen. Everything is going to be fine. You have nothing to worry about." She said grabbing Regina's hand. "I'll be fine. I promise I'll come home to you and our fur baby. Ruby already said she'd watch her if you didn't want to." Olivia and Alex just watched them with nothing but empathy. They had through this several times and know how hard it was the first time. They also know how in the last 6 months Emma and Regina have grown extremely close and are rarely without the other.

"Of course, I'll watch Georgia. Don't be absurd. It's not like you're going to be long, right? I'll just stay at your house until you get back. I told you we should have moved in together last month but no, you wanted to wait. This is just another example of why you need to listen to me." Regina scolded while Emma smiled trying to lighten the situation.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone babe, but I don't leave until tomorrow. So we have tonight to get everything in order. So quit tripping and let's go get something to eat."

"Quit tripping? You're not even in prison yet and you're talking like a degenerate." Regina scoffed and stood up to leave. If she were going to cry it would not be in Olivia's office or in front of her and Alex. It would in the arms of the woman she loves and is completely abandoning her and their beloved dog. "Sgt Benson, I expect full reports and updates whenever you receive them." Regina said going right back in to lawyer mode.

"Yes ma'am," Olivia mock saluted and Alex hit her. "What?" She asked as Alex stared daggers in to her.

Emma laughed, "See yall later."

"Where do you want to eat?" Emma asked starting her truck.

"Whatever you want is fine. It's your last day of freedom not mine." Regina mocked. Clearly, she was still a little bit miffed about the whole situation.

"Oh, I can go for whatever. How about that steak house near the beach? They have that salmon that you love."

"Whatever. That's fine."

"Babe, please stop being upset with me. It's my job."

"No, Emma, I'm supposed to be what's important. You told me that you would protect me. Make sure that I was ok and felt safe. Make sure nobody would mess with me. Who's going to do that if you're gone?"

"Regina stop guilt tripping me. You act like I have a choice in the whole situation. I'm going to make sure people are safe."

"Its fine, Emma. If you don't won't to do it, I know a couple people that will."

"What the fuck is that? Are you threatening me because I have to go do part of my job that you actually congratulated me on?!"

"You know I don't make empty threats, dear. Just stating facts." Regina deadpanned.

Emma was beyond pissed now. This was not how she had anticipated this night going. She thought that they would have a nice dinner, go home together, and make love until she had to report to the prison the next day. Apparently, that was not going to be happening. Emma had had enough of the infuriating woman today. She change her course of direction.

"Where are you going? The restaurant is back that way."

"Oh, were not going there. I'm taking your ass back to your car and I'm going home to spend some time with my dog before I report tomorrow. I'm done with this for today. I'm done with how you are talking to me and how you are threatening me. I'm done with you for today."

Regenia didn't say a single word. She just sat there staring out the window. She knew she was wrong for talking to Emma that way but she was hurt and she wasn't going to admit. Emma pulled up to her car and put her truck in park. Regina didn't say a word. She just got out of the truck and slammed the door shut. Emma's tires squeal as she sped off.

"Jesus, what the fuck is her problem!" Emma yelled at no one but the steering wheel. "She knows I'm fucking leaving tomorrow." Fuck it, she thought before dialing someone who she knew would be a bad idea and this night would end up in a bad choice.

"Hey Lilly, what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing I don't think, why? What are you up to?"

"I have to go out of town for work tomorrow but I wanted to get a drink first. You wanna meet me at our old spot?"

"Yeah, sure. I don't have to work tomorrow. When?"

"About 30? Traffic is pretty light right now."

"Alright, I'll get us a table if I get there first. Long island?"

"You know it. Alright cool. Bye." She said and hung up. Fuck, if I'm going to fuck up. I'm going to fuck up all the way.

And she did. After Emma's third Long Island she decided to turn off her phone. She got tired of reading the "I'm sorry"s and "where are you"s. Benson and Alex had called her. Even Ruby called her. But she wasn't having it tonight. Tonight, she was celebrating life, with or without the one who made her life worth living.

"So you want to tell me why we're really here?" Lilly asked knowing that a drunk Emma had lose lips.

"Well, Lilly, I'm not sure if you're aware of this but I'm dating the devil. Kind of like the devil that wears Prada, like that movie, but she wears Gucci, or hochi or baboochi, whatever the fuck it is. And she knows I have to leave tomorrow and fuckin picked a fight with me. That's literally something Satan would do. And is she isn't Satan, then she is definitely related to the guy." Emma said with a dead serious face.

"Maybe she's upset you're leaving?" Lilly asked with a smile.

"Maybe she's upset you're leaving" Emma mocked. "That does not give her an excuse to be a bitch. I've literally done nothing but kissed the ground she walks on. And then, this bitch, has the nerve to threaten me. 'Well, if you won't be with me I know someone who will', the fuck! Who says that shit to someone they supposedly love? Not nobody."

"She sounds extremely high maintenance. But honestly, it just sounds like she may be insecure in the fact that you're leaving her. Maybe you should just try to talk to her. Also, your country accent really comes out when you're drunk and mad."

"Maybe I should just drink until I forget why I came to drink? It's still early. It's about 7:30, I can be shitfaced by 9, home by 9:30 and in bed by 10. Up by 8, at the prison by 9:30. No big deal." Emma shrugged and made a face like she had just made the best plans in the world.

"Why are you going to the prison?" Lilly asked obviously confused. "I thought you were a big, bad detective now?"

"Dude, I am a big, bad detective. I'm going under cover, but fuck, don't tell anyone ok. I accidentally let it slip. They'll grill my ass if they find out I told a civilian."

"My lips are seal," Lilly said hold up a scouts honor sign.

"Ha, that scouts honor, douche bag" Emma busted out in laughter. It didn't take Emma very long before she was pretty drunk. It was about 8:15 when Lilly decided that she had had enough and that she would drive Emma home and make sure she got in bed. After much debate of Emma being fine, that plan was solidified. Emma didn't even make to the apartment before she was passed out in Lilly's car. Well, that lasted long, Lilly thought.

When they arrived, Emma looked a mess. Her white button up was untucked and unbuttoned to the last button. Her black pants were hanging off her hips and she was carrying her black suit jacket over her shoulder. She unlocked her door and grabbed Lilly to steady herself as she walked in.

"Where the fuck have you been and who the fuck is this?" Regina all but yelled.

"Are you seeing her too or is it just me?" Emma whispered to Lilly.

"Oh, no you're definitely seeing me. Now explain yourself!"

"I told you she was like a wizard, just appears and shit." Emma giggled into Lilly thinking she was funny. "Regina, this is my ex-girlfriend, Lilly. Lilly, this is Baal." Emma smirked again.

"How drunk are you?" Regina asked.

"I'm not drunk, but that wine in the fridge out to do it." She walked towards the kitchen.

"I think I'm just going to go," Lilly said as she stood awkwardly.

"Yes, I think that's best." Regina hissed.

"Noooooooo, don't leave me! They'll never find my body! My mom will be upset if she can't give me a proper burial. You know she's all about tradition."

"Yeaaaaah, you're on your own Ems. I'll call you tomorrow to make sure you awake up before you have to get there."

"That won't be necessary." Regina said.

"I wasn't exactly talking to you so if I deem it necessary then I'll do it." Lilly sassed and walked out the door.

Regina turned her attention to Emma, "Emma Marie Swan! What the fuck was that?! Did you bring that whore back here to have sex with her?"

"Why would it matter, Regina? You're the one with a choice harem. Why are you even here?"

"Are you serious right now, Emma? We have a fight and you run back to sleep with your ex?"

"No, we had a fight and you 'don't make empty promises', remember?" She said using air quotes. "Besides, the best way to get over somebody is get under somebody else."

"Emma," Regina said softly trying to get regain of the situation, "I was just scared. I'm so scared something is going to happen to you and that you won't come back to me."

Emma had a soft spot for when Regina cried and they both knew the fight was over right then. She walked over to Regina and engulfed her into a massive bear hug. "Baby, I'm not leaving you for good. I'm only going to leave you for a little while. I have to work. I can't not work. I need to pay for this place and Georgia eats like a heifer, you know that. It all adds up."

"No, you can quit right now and I'll take care of both of you. You can move in with me and we can live happily ever after," Regina whispered trying not to cry.

"Baby, you know I'll never be happy like that. I know this is hard for you but I promise I'll come back to you." Emma smiled and pulled Regina's hand up and kissed them. "Also, I wasn't going to sleep with Lilly. I just couldn't really walk well."

"You're not going to see that harlot anymore," Regina scoffed. "Also, you may want to call Benson, Alex and Ruby. I tried to convince Benson to put out an APB but she wouldn't. She's useless when someone actually needs something." Emma laughed.

"You can't legally do that, baby. I wasn't missing."

"You were missing to me and that's all that matters. Now let's get you something to eat, showered and off to bed so you're not late or sick in the morning."

That would end up being a difficult task though because Emma had already passed out in Regina's arms, lips still on her hands.
