A/N: Well here we are with another short multichapter story. This is set after Emma's travel back in time, except she didn't bring back Marian or Elsa. Robin and Hook also do not have parts in this story, but their absences will be explained. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: No I don't own them.

P.S: The incident at the end of the chapter is loosely based on a true story that actually happened to my and a friend.

Chapter 1

Friday

7:00 a.m.

"Well you really did think of everything didn't you?" David asked.

"I wasn't going to leave anything out of our first trip out of town," Snow replied.

It was true. The Charmings were leaving town. After the craziness of Emma's time travel, Storybrooke had settled down. Regina had found a way to open the town line, and people were free to come and go as they pleased. Many people have taken to exploring the outside world.

Snow and David were going to be next. Of course they had to bring Henry, which meant bringing Emma.

And surprisingly enough, both of them had argued to bring Regina. It confused Snow. In all honesty, Emma just wanted someone besides her parents to talk to.

Besides that, Emma had invited Regina because of her mood recently. While Regina seemed to be very interested in this new Robin Hood figure, he didn't seem to take the same liking to her. He was constantly engaged in other activities, so they had broken up. Regina seemed lonely again.

When Emma invited her, Regina forgot to ask where they were going. She barely could get a word in over Henry's incessant begging. She had no idea they were going skiing.

Why were the Charmings even interested in skiing? There were plenty of more places to go other than the north. Why did they have to go somewhere else cold? Regina had heard of this beautiful place called Florida, where the sun always shined. She wished they were going there.

"Emma darling, are you leaving?" Snow called behind her daughter, who was walking out the door.

"Yea, I'll be back in about 10 minutes," Emma called back to her parents.

Emma's job on this early morning was to pick up Regina and Henry at the mansion. They were only going to take two cars to the resort. Emma, Henry, and Regina would ride in the bug (much to Regina's disliking). Snow, David, and baby Neal were to ride in the truck.

Emma arrived at Regina's house around 7 o'clock. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Regina answered the door. When she saw who it was she merely left the door open and walked back into the house. Emma knew by now that this was Regina's way of inviting her in. Or at least, Emma had made it that.

"Sorry," Regina yelled rushing around the kitchen. " I had a hard time getting Henry out of bed. Now we're running late."

"I just don't get why we had to leave so early!" Emma heard Henry yell from upstairs in his room.

"Hey, kid, I don't make the rules," Emma yelled back at him.

Regina cracked a smirk at this. She really didn't mind the blonde at times like this. when it came to co-parenting, the women actually had a lot of similar ideas.

Henry came down the stairs, still in his pajama pants. However, Emma could tell that his hair and teeth had both been brushed. He was tugging a suitcase behind him. He looked like he was ready for the six hour long car ride.

Emma then turned around and took her first good look at Regina. She had never seen her like this. She was wearing black leggings, and a sweatshirt that looked like it belonged to a teenager. It was a dark purple color with a constellation on the front. Emma couldn't name it. Regina's usually neatly straightened hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail.

It was odd to see her this laid back. Emma imagined that there weren't very many people Regina let see her this way. She was glad that they had become fairly close.

Regina picked up her own suitcase. She also grabbed her purse and another bag off the counter.

"Snacks," she explained to Emma with a smile. "I figured you would be grouchy without them."

"Mom makes the best grilled cheese ever," Henry exclaimed.

"Well I sure am excited to try them," Emma said and ruffled Henry's hair.

They left the mansion and piled into Emma's car. She looked at Regina.

"Ready to spend the weekend with my parents?" Emma asked.

"As I'll ever be, Swan," Regina replied.

Emma pulled out of the driveway.

8:00 a.m.

Regina sat patiently on the couch, listening to the argument unfold.

"I assure you, I packed them."

"Fine!"

And with that, Snow and Charming had stopped fighting. Apparently it was difficult to take an infant on a road trip. Wow. What a surprise.

"Time to go!" Snow announced to the group.

Emma and Henry awoke with a start. They had both fallen asleep. Regina realized that she was raising two children

Regina, Henry, and Emma piled into the bug. Henry quickly put headphones on and fell back asleep.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drive?" Regina asked for about the hundredth time.

"No offense, but you got your license from a curse, I can handle this," Emma said.

They pulled out of the driveway.

The first hour or so was spent in silence, the only sound was from the quiet radio and Emma's gps, telling them where to go. Regina enjoyed the peacefulness until Emma chimed in.

"So are you like, okay?" She asked.

"What?" said Regina.

"Well I know that you and Robin like, broke up," Emma said.

"We simply decided that we needed different things. I hardly think this is any of your business Miss Swan."

Emma was quiet,

"I'm just worried about you."

"Well don't be."

"Sorry."

9:30 a.m.

Emma's phone rang.

"Answer that please," Emma said.

Regina picked it up.

"Hello."

"Regina? Oh hi," said the other end. "We're stopping to get breakfast at this next exit."

"Alright, where?" Regina asked.

"There's this little diner that looks nice." Snow replied.

"Okay, we'll follow you." Regina hung up.

"This next exit?" Emma asked.

"Yes," Regina answered. "I'll wake up Henry and get him to put some real pants on."

"Okay."

9:45 a.m.

The bug stopped outside the diner. Regina sighed.

"I know, right?" Emma said. "If it were up to me, we would just drive until we got there."

"I agree, but I would kill for some coffee right now," Regina replied.

"And I'm craving pancakes," Henry added from the backseat. "I really hope they have pancakes."

The three got out of the car.

They sat down at the restaurant in a large, circular booth. Emma and Regina sat together, Henry on the outside. Henry ordered his pancakes. Emma and Regina both ordered omelets, David and Snow ordered eggs and chocolate chip pancakes, respectively.

Before they left, Emma and Regina ran to the bathroom.

"Hey," a waitress asked Henry. "Are you alone?"

"Nah," he answered. "My moms are in the bathroom."

"Oh, okay." The waitress said.

When Emma and Regina returned, the waitress spoke to them.

"It's really brave," she said. "What you're doing."

The waitress awkwardly squeezed Regina's shoulder. Regina stood, dumbfounded.

Emma quickly grabbed her and walked out the door with a snickering Henry. They didn't waste a second hopping into the bug and following the truck down the road.

"I'm confused," Regina said, finally.

Henry burst out laughing. Emma blushed.

"Regina," Emma started. "That waitress mistook us for a couple."

Regina paled. "Oh," she said. "Well, I guess I could see the confusion."

She blushed and looked out the window.

This is when Henry figured out that his moms were totally into each other. He put his earbuds back in and started scheming. He would call it operation Swan.

A/N: If you came from my other story, Everything Has Changed, I'm still writing it. This is just a short side project. It will be updated much less often.
