Emma was putting plates on the table when she heard a knock.

Snow walked down the stairs with baby Neal and was about to open the door, before Hook cut in front of her.

"I'll get the door, mommy," Hook teased, "Hey, son, I thought you are going on a date with Violet today." It was Henry.

"Violet is sick," He walked into the Charmings house.

"Hey Henry," Emma said, "I'll set an extra spot." She opens the cupboard to get a plate.

"Ma, I am staying at your place tonight," Henry sat down at the table even before the food was ready. His teenage body was starving since 2pm.

"I thought it's a Regina night," Hook said.

"Mom is sick too," Henry replied. Emma's fingers slipped and dropped the plate. Hook caught the plate before it hit the floor.

"Too bad," Hook put the plate on the table. He wrapped his arms around Emma's waist, "I thought we were gonna have some private time tonight." He planted a kiss on Emma's ear.

"Ewww," Henry joked.

"Is she okay?" Emma asked, ignoring Hook.

"I'm not sure. I just got a text from Mom. She didn't want to get me sick," Henry shrugged.

"Is it the stomach bug going around town lately?" Snow asked, "We had to send three kids home today. The usual stuff — fever, cramp, puke and the d word. It's highly contagious. Whale said it would take two weeks for them to recover."

"Probably. I know Violet has that," Henry nodded.

"It's spreading fast in the daycare too. Neal is fine for now, but I need to stay home with him tomorrow because the daycare is closed," Snow explained.

"Hook, I want to bring Regina some chicken soup after dinner," Emma said.

"Sure, love. Do you want me to go with you?" Hook asked.

"It's all right. I can do it myself," Emma smiled.

"What's going on between you and Regina?" Snow asked, "I feel like you two have been avoiding each other for the last couple weeks."

"What? No. I've just been busy, busy being a captain's wife," Emma stole a kiss from Hook.

"Busy being a captain's wife? I guess we are gonna get another grandchild soon," David said to Snow as she passes him Neal. He put Neal in the high chair.

"No. Hook and I had a talk. We have decided to not have kids," Emma sat down at the table. She shared a look with Hook.

"Are you sure?" Snow asked, "Look at how happy your father and I are!" She scooped some spaghetti on the plate.

"I am. I meant, we are," Emma replied, "Besides, I think Henry wants to be the only child." Sure, Hook might make a good father and she was still young enough to have another child, but she just didn't want to have a child with Hook. Was that what she wanted? No. She wasn't ready and she knew she would never be.

"Hey, don't drag me into this," Henry protested.

She rang the doorbell. There was no reply.

"Regina, open the door, I know you are in there," The living room light was on, "Zelena, open the door." There was no reply still. Emma used the backup key from Snow's to let herself in. She walked around the house, the place was quite empty. She walked up to Regina's room. She saw the brunette sleeping like an angel.

She couldn't help herself from staring at the mayor with desire.

She wanted to run up to the sleeping beauty, and plant a kiss on her lips to wake her up.

Her heart was pounding, but her brain told her the other.

She quietly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. She put the soup on the counter. Maybe I will leave her a note. Emma thought to herself. She reached her hand in her pants pocket. No pen. She looked around the kitchen and started opening drawers to locate one.

Suddenly, she felt heat by her ear. She smelled Regina's perfume.

She turned around and saw Regina standing right by her with a fireball in her hand.

"Emma!" The fireball disappeared. "I could have killed you, you know. I thought you were an intruder. Had nobody taught you to knock?" They were past the stage that they would say hi to each other.

"You were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you," Emma explained, "Henry said you were sick, so I brought chicken soup."

"Thanks," Regina sat down at the kitchen island.

"Where are Zelena and Robin?" Emma sat next to Regina.

"I told them to stay at the farm house for the next week or two. I don't want to get them sick," Regina opened the tupperware. The soup smelled delicious.

Then the conversation was joined by the awkward pause. Emma texted Hook, saying that she was at Regina's now. Hook texted back an okay.

Regina chowed down the soup in record time. She wanted to get away from Emma as soon as possible. She quickly washed the tupperware and wiped it down with a tower.

"We haven't talked since," Emma broke the silent, "that night."

"We don't talk about that night," Regina passed the empty soup box to Emma, signalling her to leave.

"I am not talking about that night. I am talking about what happened after that night. Com'on, Regina. We used to be so close," Emma begged.

"We still are. Stop making it awkward," Regina argued.

"You are the one making it awkward," Emma headed for the door.

Regina gave the Are you kidding me? look to Emma. She walked Emma to the door, but when they were in the hallway, her stomach decided that Regina should not be eating tonight.

Regina ran to the guest bathroom and Emma followed her. She held Regina's smooth dark hair as the brunette emptied her stomach. All the chicken soup went into the toilet, and maybe more.

"You are not okay," Emma summarized, "Let me take care of you tonight. I will leave after you fall asleep."

"I know I am not okay," Regina grasped for air and continued emptying her stomach, "Get away from me before I get you sick too."

"I don't mind," Emma joked, "I deserve some paid sick leave."

"Fine," Regina knew she wasn't in the best condition to have an argument.

Emma magicked Regina and herself into Regina's bathroom. She prepared hot water in the tub and told Regina to get a hot bath before she walked downstairs to get a glass of water. She heard that ginger tea would help an upset stomach and decided to make ginger tea. Luckily there was ginger in the fridge.

It took longer than expected. When Emma returned to Regina's bedroom, she was already in bed. The brunette looked tired. It's been a long sick day.

"Drink this," Emma handed Regina the cup.

"What is it? I am a great teacher, but to this day, I still don't trust you to make potion," Regina was honest this time.

"Ginger tea. Google says it is good for stomach flu," Emma sat down on Regina's bed.

"Who let you sit down on my bed?" Regina annoyed Emma. She loved it when Emma was close to her. She took a sip from the cup. Bitter. It could use some sugar or lemon.

"A thank you would be sufficient," Emma said.

"I am in bed now. You can go home to Captain Guyliner," Regina complained.

"Remember I said I would leave after you fell asleep?" Emma climbed over Regina and laid down on the other side of the king size bed. She could have walked around the bed, but no, she had to climb over Regina to get to the other side. "How are you feeling?" Emma placed her hand on Regina's forehead.

"Just cramp and puking. Thank god it's not coming out the other way yet," Regina said as Emma placed her hand on Regina's stomach, "What are you doing?"

"Home remedy," Emma started massaging Regina's lower abdomen, "I remember doing that for Henry when he was young and had a bad tummy."

"You didn't do that for Henry. I did," Regina said.

"Yes, those fake memory you planted in my head when I drove away with Henry after Pan's curse. Time flew. Was it like three years ago?" Emma asked. Time seemed to run differently when one lived in small town.

"Try four," Regina replied. She wouldn't admit it, but she loved Emma's warm hand on her tummy. She had been feeling a bad cramp for the whole day and it looked like Emma's magic hand was the cure.

The two drifted into dream land.

That night.

Regina didn't remember much about that night. Emma couldn't either.

It was the night they had their family dinner at Granny's. Even Belle, baby Gideon and Gold were there. They were celebrating something, but Emma already forgot what the party was for.

All Emma could remember was both Zelena and Regina were black-out drunk. Snow decided to take Robin home with her and she told Emma to take Regina and Zelena home. By the time, the three got to the mayor's mansion. Regina had already sobered enough to have conversation. They put Zelena to bed and went to the kitchen to continue drinking. It was Regina who first kissed Emma. It was Emma who didn't push her away and returned the kiss. They had suppressed their feeling for so long.

One thing let to another. They moved the party upstairs. Emma spent the night, naked on Regina's bed. Drunk Regina was even able to cast a magic penis on Emma. It didn't wear off until three days later. Emma had to lie to Hook and said she was on her period until that magic penis vanished.

The sex was passionate and great. Possibly the best both Regina and Emma had ever had. It was a one-time thing. They promised to never talk about it. After all, Emma was a married woman. That was three weeks ago.

The next morning, Emma found herself on Regina's bed, wearing jeans, t-shirt and even her shoes, when Regina's alarm woke her up. Regina was already in her bathroom emptying her stomach again.

Emma looked at her phone to check time. 16 missed call from Hook. Shit.
