Ok so here is that new fic I was talking about in the last chapter of Saving the Queen. It's based on a role play I was doing with one of my friends on instagram (I will have a link to their account after the chapter). Some things have changed, and I've added a couple of things, but all the Emma parts were done by her (other then the stuff I added, obviously). The plot was originally made by me and if you want me to post a link to the original role play, I will do so.
Enjoy!

Regina had been sleeping peacefully before an energetic Henry had jumped onto her bed yelling something about his soccer practice.
"What?" She sat up groggily and when her eyes opened, she was greeted by Henry's little face so close to hers that she could see his pupils dilate. She couldn't help but laugh. He falls down onto her lap with a stern look on his face.
"You have to take me to soccer." He says, crossing his arms in front of his chest. He had just turned six a couple months ago and for his birthday, he wanted to be signed up on the local soccer team, so Regina had no choice but to let him. After all, who could say no to that little marshmallow face of his?
"Right, because it's Saturday." She nods and tries to hide the growing smile on her lips from the serious six year old. He catches the smile and squints at her.
"Yes." He says, still keeping his serious tone.
"Then I need to get dressed." Snickering, she nods and pretends to be serious for her son.
Emma Swan was awoken by her alarm like she was everyday. Well, everyday except her only day off, Sunday. She groans and slams her hand against the infuriating machine, trying her hardest to get the damned thing to shut up. After eventually knocking the thing off the night stand, she sits up and stretches her arms above her head. A smile creeps onto her face when she remembers what day it is. Saturday, which means she gets to go to the soccer field and help the boys play. She rolls her eyes at herself and scoffs, 'Just for the boys, Emma' she thinks sarcastically to herself, knowing that she has fun flirting and talking to the moms as well, even though more then half of them were already married and straight. She climbs out of her bed and makes her way to the kitchen, still in her panties and tank top. She starts up the coffee maker and quickly jumps in the shower. Once she's finished, she fixes her coffee then finishes up with getting ready to go. On the way to the field, she'll stop at Granny's for breakfast.
Regina waits for Henry to leave, and once he's out of the room, she closes the door and slips off her shirt. The decision of what to wear is never hard, she picks something formal, but not too formal. Her job pays well, so she can dress the part. She puts on a bra and then decides on a gray dress. It's form fitting, but then again, just about all her things are. It doesn't take her long to change completely and son she's in the car with Henry in the back seat, driving to field. He's playing with his little toy soldiers, lining them up next to the window. Regina finds herself feeling terribly sad and wishing that she'd never gotten him the little men. 'What was I thinking?!' She asks herself. 'I could have gotten him anything else!' At the time though, she didn't know what was going to happen to cause her to the sight of those little green men.
When Emma walks into the diner, she orders her usual. She sticks her hands into her pockets and waits for her food to come. Looking down at her soccer shirt, she notices that she got toothpaste on it.
"Dammit." She mumbles under her breath as she starts to pick at the stain. The lady at the counter gives her the food she ordered and she takes it out with her to the car to eat it on the way.
She arrives at the field and she's already a couple minutes late. Quickly, she grabs the net of soccer balls and runs over to the team.
Henry and Regina get to the field a little before Emma and Regina attempts to calm Henry down before he goes running around everywhere.
"But she's gonna be here today!" He's jumping up and down in place, excited to finally introduce Regina to his soccer coach, Emma Swan.
"I know honey, and I'm sure she's a wonderful woman, but you need to calm down." She places her hands on his shoulders to get him to stop jumping.
"Aww." He sighs and looks over my shoulder. His face lights up. "She's here! She's here!" The moment of calm Regina had brought over the young boy hadn't lasted long at all. He takes her hand and drags her over to where Emma was standing. "Emma!" He yells happily.
"Hey buddy, how are you this morning?" Emma asks him, putting down the soccer balls she was holding so she can scoop the boy up and put him on her shoulders with ease. "You must be Miss. Mills." Emma sticks her hand out for Regina to shake and smiles at her kindly. She keeps one hand on Henry's leg so he doesn't fall.
Regina shakes her hand and Emma can't help but smile a little wider at how soft Regina's hands are and how strong her grip is. 'Such a contradiction.' Emma thinks to herself.
"I've heard lots about you." Emma says after letting go of the brunette's hand.
"Only good things I hope." Regina looks up at Henry and raises an eyebrow. He giggles and she can't help but smile a little. Regina does, however, feel a little uncomfortable with the whole 'Emma holding Henry on her shoulders' thing. She has always been protective of Henry, ever since the incident. She feels a little nervous and on edge, maybe even a little annoyed that he's up on Emma's shoulders like that.
Emma looks up at Henry, "your mom is giving me the death glare." She asks him as a smile begins to form on her face once more. Gently, she grabs the boy's hands and lifts him up. He squeals as she lowers him to the ground. Once he's on the ground, he takes off running towards the field to practice. "Hey kid, grab the balls why don't ya?" Emma calls after him. She laughs when he starts to drag the large bag behind him. She then turns back to Regina. "He's an amazing kid, and an amazing ball player."
"Well thats good." Regina's smile fades once she looks back to Emma. Beginning to analyze Emma, she takes a couple things into account. Emma looked young, maybe mid twenties, she most likely lived alone, obviously not married because there's no ring, outgoing, sporty, and overly comfortable with people. The complete opposite from Regina, other than the age and the fact that they were both unmarried. She notices that you look like you were rushed this morning, your alarm maybe went off late, or maybe you just set it late. Regina likes to know everything she can about the people that hang around her son, so she takes in everything about them as she can.
"I can see you accessing me in your head." Emma says blatantly. "I wouldn't want you to jump to conclusions, just ask me something if you really want to know." Now it was Emma's turn, she looks Regina up and down, noticing her clothes first. Fancy, well fitted, and probably expensive. Hair perfectly done and make up on point. Could the two women have been any different? If Emma had to guess, she'd say that Regina worked at some big shot company in the city and barely had a life outside of work and her son. She probably lived alone, like Emma did, and from the sour look that was on Regina's face whenever a smile isn't directed at Henry, Emma guessed that Regina hadn't had a good lay in a while. There, she'd be right.
For some weird reason, and this has happened to me before, when I save a document onto Doc Manager, it gets rid of all my dashes. I use these to cleanly break up people's pov but apparently, it's not letting me do that. Now I have to do this instead: {POV}. Which, as you all probably know, doesn't look as good. I apologize for any inconvenience, if anyone has a solution for this problem, please let me know.
