A/N: First SwanQueen Fic.

Regina called Emma as she packed up to leave work. Emma answered almost immediately.

"Hey babe." Emma answered.

"Hello, I am on my way home, dear. Is there anything I can stop and grab on my way home?" Regina answered.

"Well..." Emma started before Regina cut her off.

"Anything we need that cannot wait until we go grocery shopping later in the week." Regina stated.

"Wine?" Emma said unsure if that counted or not.

"Sure my dear." Regina said with a sigh. "I shall see you when I arrive home then?"

"Yes." Emma answered taking her glasses off and rubbing her eyes. "Henry asked to stay with Mary Margaret and David, is it alright if I allow it? Mary Margaret will make sure he gets to bed on time and she can get him to school. I told him I would ask when you called."

"I suppose that shall not be a problem this once." Regina caved giving her son the freedom he wanted for one measly night.

"I will let him know and you might beat me home. I will drop him off and Mary Margaret will bring him back after school tomorrow." Emma said nodding at Henry who had been sitting next to her awaiting Regina's call for her answer. He jumped up and went to go and grab his things from his room. "Plus, it gives us a little alone time tonight." Emma said once Henry was out of earshot.

"Yes I suppose it does." Regina said matter-of-factually. Regina bit her lip. She picked up her bag and flung it over her shoulder.

"Are you going to be hungry when you get home?" Emma questioned. There were some nights that Regina didn't want anything to eat after a long day.

"Not particularly." Regina replied. That was the third time this week she had skipped dinner already. It was normal to miss a couple days a week but it was Thursday and she had missed three days which was not normal.

"Are you alright hon?" Emma asked as Regina scoffed.

"I have no idea what you are talking about dear." Regina replied. "I am getting into the car now. I shall be home shortly. I will pick up some wine." Regina said before hanging up, not even giving Emma a chance to respond. Emma sighed and yelled up to Henry.

"Henry? You almost ready?" Emma called.

"Yeah!" He yelled as Emma heard his door close and he ran to the top of the steps with his backpack. He ran down the steps and ran straight to the car. Emma threw her hands up. All right then. She thought to herself. She walked out the front door making sure it was locked and made her way to the bug. Henry was very excited. Emma drove as fast as she dared. Mary Margaret and David's place wasn't too far away but hell, the kid was getting anxious. They pulled up and Emma hadn't even parked by the time Henry go out and took off toward their place. Emma slowly padded after him and found Snow waiting for her at the door.

"I assume he ran up about five minutes ago while I poked behind?" Emma said half-joking. Mary Margaret simply smiled and let her in. "He is very excited. Could you have him home right after school tomorrow? Like four thirty at the absolute latest." Emma asked Mary Margaret.

"Of course! Thank you for letting him stay tonight. Has he eaten?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Shit. I forgot to feed him. No, he hasn't. I'm sorry."

"It's fine! We just finished making dinner. I am just waiting for David now. He took a call and went upstairs."

"Okay, awesome. Thanks again. I have to get going I have to get a few things before Regina gets home." Emma lied. "Henry! I'm leaving." Emma yelled.

"Bye mom! See you tomorrow." He called from the other room.

"I guess I won't get a hug then." Emma chuckled as she gave Mary Margaret a hug and left. She made her way back to the bug and drove silently home. She got back and Regina was still not home. Odd. I thought she would be home by now. Even with her stop at the store. Emma shrugged and go out her keys and went inside. She went and sat back down on the couch where she picked up the catalog she had been looking at earlier. It was a gun catalog none-the-less. She needed a new service pistol. Hers was acting funny lately and not by magic as far as her and Regina could tell. She finished flipping through. Not finding anything intriguing enough. She rather liked the one she had now. Maybe she could get Regina to fix it with magic though. She shrugged. It had been almost ten more minutes since she started flipping through the catalog. Surely Regina should have been home by now. Emma decided to send her a text.

You almost home? -E

A reply did not come.


Regina left the office and went to Granny's to pick up a cheap bottle of wine. She would get something nicer in the week. She headed back to her car and got in. She placed the bottle in the backseat with her work bag. Suddenly she was being yanked back off her feet. She landed on her back with a thud. She tried to scream but not a sound came out due to the pain she was in from landing on her back. She saw the silhouette of someone above her before she blacked out herself.


It had been nearly two hours now and Emma was freaking out. Where the fuck was Regina? She called her at least a dozen times. She called Granny and she said she had bought the wine and left already. She called just about everyone in town and no one had seen her. Not like anyone actually cared to actually go out and look for her if something was wrong anyway. Screw it. Emma thought before rushing outside to go hop in the bug again. She hadn't called Mary Margaret or David yet. She would drive by there first. Maybe Regina wanted to see Henry and got lost track of time.

She pulled up and parked again. She rushed up and took the steps two at a time before reaching their home. She knocked frantically, impatiently. She was tapping her foot. She knocked again before she heard a voice.

"I'm coming!" Mary Margaret called from behind the door. She opened the door and Emma rushed inside but Regina wasn't there.

"Regina isn't here is she?" Emma asked already knowing the answer but asking anyway. Emma was shaking at this point. Where the fuck was she?!

"No. Why? What's wrong Emma?" Mary Margaret asked. David and Henry were at the table. David noticed what was going on and so did Henry.

"What's wrong Emma? Where is my mom? Is she okay?" Henry asked from the table. David shushed him.

"Kiddo why don't you go upstairs." David said getting up from the table and giving Henry a small push toward the steps. Emma started crying.

"She isn't home, she hasn't answered my texts or calls and no one has seen her." Emma said. "I thought she might be here but I have no idea where she is and it's not like her not to answer or be this late. She is always home right after work." Emma said. "I got to go look for her." Mary Margaret and David exchanged worried looks. They had seen Emma freaked out but not to this extent. They both knew of the queen's punctuality and they also knew that she wouldn't worry Emma by not replying to her.

"I'll help you look for her." David said. "Mary Margaret, you'll stay with Henry?" He asked. She nodded as Emma already bolted for her car.
