Emma Swan started today like any other. She heroically took out the cat poop during a rainstorm, might have missed the dumpster, and might have peed herself, if only a little. But what she never saw coming her way, was Regina Mills. Unfortunately for Emma Swan, Miss Mills was Unfortunately Famous.
Regina showed up an hour later with Emma’s favorite ice cream and a cactus.Emma answered the door in running shorts and a tank top. Her gaze finally landing on the brown orbs that haunted her dreams.
“This is for you… the place I grabbed the ice cream from didn’t have flowers...it’s a succulent actually. Hard to kill, and this one should be safe for Ginger, and no pointy things….”
Emma took the plant and moved it to the top of her fridge, “Well this cute plant can go up here so Ging won’t chew on her. Thank you Regina, you really didn’t have to do that.” when she turned around a bucket of ice cream was shoved into her arms and Emma smiled and put it away.
Before she could turn back to her guest again there was a loud meow from the floor and Regina’s eyes fell to the fluffball.
“Hey kid.” She squatted down and gave the baby all the scratches in the best places.
“Did you miss me? Is your mommy being good to you?” Her voice had changed to talk to the cat, but Emma’s heart warmed and was reminded of exactly why she had been falling in love with this woman.
