'My soul made love to your soul long before our bodies met. When I first laid my eyes on you, I recognized you. You held my future in your hands.' – Anita Krizzan

For the entire weekend with Henry, Regina could not understand why she felt different. Her heart didn't feel pained, no stress or any type of overwhelming emotion. It felt…calm. She felt calm. After seeing Emma she had thought her body would just break down but the next morning when she woke up, nothing but relaxation over took her body. There were a few times her heart would race as if she were running but then it would stop as soon as it came. What was going on?

It wasn't till the last day with Henry while they were at the stables near her house that Regina had instantly realized what Emma had done. She was teaching Henry how to brush his horse as well as feeding it after a ride when the overwhelming feeling of loving herself came apparent. Now don't get Regina wrong, she loves herself as much as the next person but this type of love was more romantic. And she loves a good masturbation ritual with herself but not in the way her heart felt like doing. Well, the emotions really.

"Emma Swan!" she shouted.

Henry jumped at the suddenness and looked to his mother. "Mom?"

Regina turned her glare onto him. "We are going back to Storybrooke, now!" and turned to prepare herself for the journey home. A deep blush on her cheeks at the pounding in her chest.

Storybrooke]

Emma was laying in her bed, it had been a long day and she was ready for it to be over. She had gotten back from the Enchanted Forest earlier that morning and had to be back in the station by 8. So to say she was exhausted was an understatement. She could feel her heart swell with joy and knew Regina was doing something she loved, with Henry no doubt.

At the thought of Regina, Emma felt her emotions shift and the need to touch herself at the thought of the ex mayor caused a slender hand to slip past her panties and pressing her fingers against her clit. The pounding in her ears told her that her heart was catching up to her emotions and racing at the images in her head alone. Not long after she came with a breathless moan and a content smile to her face. She instantly felt better.

Earlier the next morning, Emma found herself unlocking the station doors. It was Sunday and Henry was due back sometime tonight. What she hadn't expected though was the clearing of a throat and the woman standing there that had made the noise.

"Regina?!" she blinked in confusion then yelp in pain when the woman slapped her across the cheek. "The fuck Regina??!"

"You switched the halves!" Regina yelled.

"I did what now?" Emma still held her assaulted cheek. It hurt like hell. Regina stepped closer and they were nose to nose.

"You switched half of our hearts," she hissed "I have half of your heart and you have mine,"

Emma's eyes widen in realization and smiled. "Oh yeah. I figured you knew,"

"You damn well know that I didn't know," Regina stopped talking and their fight made more sense. Emma just chuckled.

"You obviously just figured it out then huh?" she said smugly. "Why I gave it back and left, instead of fighting you,"

"But, how did you switch it without me knowing? I always know when you hold my heart," Regina was curious. But knew the answer when Emma gave her a knowing look.

"I used a glove,"

"Of course you did,"

They were silent for a moment, standing in front of the police station before Regina took a step back but Emma wrapped an arm around her waist. Pulling her flushed against her body, Emma used her free hand to cup the side of Regina's face. "I love you Regina, it took you leaving for me to even figure it out but I do love you," she lowered her eyes to plump lips then sighed, "God do I love you. And I was so stupid, all those times you dropped hints. When you gave me your heart. I should have known,"

"Yeah, you should have," Regina teased. Emma's eyes looked back at hers and in that moment she understood just how close they were when her heart began to do all kinds of flips in her chest. Raising her hands, Regina placed them on Emma's chest. "When you kissed Henry to wake him up from that curse, that's when I knew,"

Emma's mouth fell open. "That long?"

Regina nodded and hid her blush when she dropped her head. Emma pressed a attentive kiss to her forehead.

"When I found out Greg and Tamara had you, I about lost my mind. I almost told you then that I love you,"

Regina smiled when Emma didn't say 'Loved'. It made the confession that much more true.

"Come home, please? I can't live here without you," Emma pleaded. Regina met her ocean blue eyes and felt everything at once. Between her own feelings and then Emma's she was growing weak with love. Leaning in, Regina sealed the deal by placing her lips against Emma's and allowed the blonde woman to take the lead.

Wasn't much of a lead though. Regina had Emma pinned to the door of the station, deeping the kiss.

Emma pulled from the kiss to thump her head against the glass of the window. "As much as I want this to continue, I have to open the station Regina,"

"Fine," the woman growled. She used her magic to unlock the door then opened it so they could stumble inside. It slammed closed behind them and the faint sound of the lock clicking could be heard. Yeah, Emma wasn't getting any work done today.

Regina peeks around the corner then steps into the room, looking confused.

"Um, are you not going to make Miss Swan return my half heart?"

The Author looks at the woman with raised brows.

"Do you want it back?"

"Well….No,"

The Author smiles

"Okay then, go back to boning your savior so the story can end,"

Regina glares at them.

"You don't have to be so crass,"

She walks away still mumbling and the Author just laughs.
