"you did this?" The mayor glares at the blond next to her who appears to shrink a little in size.
"Regina, I swear I didn't know…"
"you did this, just like your mother. All actions have consequences." Regina says pointing a finger at miss swan.
"regina…I…"
The mayor pushes past her to the door at Granny's the bell ringing loudly as the door slams.
Shit.
"Emma oh no" Snow says as she watched as Regina ran out the door. Robin's wife was still just barely in his embrace.
Henry walks out from the restroom to find his mother gone.
"Emma, where… wheres my mom, she was right here."
"oh kid, I…." Emma can't finish her sentence she is still trying to grasp what she has just done.
Henry looks over and Robin in the embrace of someone else. Something happened. Regina is gone. She's upset.
He's determined, no, his mom will not be the evil queen not again.
"I'm going after her." Henry says as he runs back to the hall way to get his coat.
Emma starts panicking no Henry cant go. who knows what Regina will do this time. When she lost Daniel she went on a path of revenge that took so many years to get over.
"Henry you will not. Kid, she's dangerous."
"Not to me. Shes my mom emma. She would never hurt me she loves me. Shes good! She broke the curse! She needs me." He says the last bit and he pushes past emma hard. Already losing time. He heads fast for mifflen street.
Again, it had happened again. The charmings just couldn't let her be happy. She was broken, she was done. What would happen next? Emma would probably take Henry back to nY after what she had just done. Run away from her problems.
She threw her front door open. Needing to left it out she threw her shoes. Not enough. She grabbed the wine that her and robin hadn't finished still on the floor from their picnic. She took one sip and threw that too. The glass shattered against the white and black wall leaving it running with rivers of red, like blood. She grabbed her bottle of whisky and started to down it. She didn't want to feel. She started pushing things off the tables with one hand
"Fuck. FUCK! Fuck you emma swan." She was now hitting a higher pitch starting to sob. She picked up the glass he had used and threw it at the mirror which shattered and broke on the floor. Given her close proximity she had cut her had and also had a few shards scratch her face and arms. But she didn't feel it.
What could she do? Nothing, she couldn't do a single thing. They couldn't time travel again and lose Mariam. He wouldn't chose her. Regina was the evil queen. His second choice. She stumbled to the hall and fell against it and slid down, she let it go. All the years of holding it in, the five min she thought she could be happy, she just wept. She finished the whisky and just sat staring blindly at the wall. Redemption sucked.
She heard the door fling open again.
"MOM!? MOM! Where are you" Henry looked around wildly, things where thrown and turned over. Had there been a struggle?
Then he heard something faint. Crying.
"MOM!" he went running toward the back hall. There he found Regina crumpled on the floor.
She was bleeding.
He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Mom I'm going to go get the first aide kit ok?"
Regina was so far gone all she could do was nod. That was enough for the kid. He ran up to her bathroom on the next floor riffled through her cabinet till he found the kit at the very back. She didn't normally have much need for it given her mayor job, just for little scrapes for Henry.
He flew back down the stairs barely skidding to a stop almost missing her. He grabbed her face
"Mom look at me. Are you ok? Your hand is cut pretty bad, ill have to get the pieces of glass out just…stay still ok?" he offered up a concerned look followed by a smile. Again Regina just nodded.
Henry was very careful picking the glass pieces out. Finally wrapping her hand up then tending to the light cuts on her face and her arms. Just needed some neosporan and a few band aids for those.
"ok Mom lets get you to bed…. And no more of this." He motioned to the whisky.
His mother stared at him.
"Honey I don't know if I can make…. It that far…." She said looking guilty and definitely starting to feel the effects of the alcohol.
"its ok mom Ill help you." Henry put his moms arm around his neck and reached his other arm around her waist. He got her standing and finally walking. The stairs were a bit of a challenge but finally they made it to reginas room.
Henry got her in bed. A glass of water asprin. He made her finish the water then tucked her in.
"Henry…I…"she couldn't finish, she wasn't even sure what she wanted to say.
"Mom its ok. Just go to sleep alright?" He laid a wash cloth on her forhead looking so concered like she might just disappear.
He cuddled up next to her like he used to and put his arm around her.
"I love you." He said shakily, who knows how regina would react tomorrow….
"I love you too henry." Regina sigh and nodded off to sleep in her sons arms.
"Shit!" Emma swan was panicking.
"we cant just leave him with regina… I mean come on…. Who knows what she is doing right now, she hasn't changed, this is all my fault."
"emma! Regina has changed. I think the fact that she didn't throw out there that she was going to take your happiness is a pretty good indicator. And the fact that she didn't try to kill you on the spot…"Snow offered up feeling for her stepmother. They were good, or were before the last hour happened.
"Roland stay with your mother."robin said as he walked over to emma and snow.
"Wheres Regina?"He sounded worried though he hadn't noticed the moment she ran out
"I ,,, I just was surprised. I have no Idea…. What I am going to do…."
"what?" emma said dumbfounded "I found your wife I mean its pretty clear what Regina thought it meant uh shit I cant believe I did that to her." Emma barriers her face in her hands with a loud sigh of desperation.
"I should go after her." Robin grabs his coat and makes for the door.
Snow runs and grabs his arm "Robin, you really hurt her, I don't know if this is a good time. Henry went after her…. Hopefully shes ok… " she says if only to herself.
"I have to try to make this right."
"robin!" Screams mariam, but hes gone.
Henry is watching his mother chest moving. Its relaxing to watch knowing that for right now she looks peaceful and looks ok though he knows the moment she wakes she clearly wont be.
That's when he hears a knock at the door downstairs.
Regina stirs… "uhmmm, what is that?"
"mom just go back to sleep its probsbly just emma here to say goodnight. Ill be right back I promise."
She opens her eyes all the way. Looks to see if her son is telling the truth, he is. Regina smiles and squeezes his hand.
"ok sweatheart." She lays her head back down.
Henry flies down the stairs. Hes not going. He is staying with his mom tonight he will fight emma on this if he has too. He opens the door and he was not expecting
"robin?"
"Hi, henry. The night kinda got away from us fast eh? How is your mom can I see her?" he says with tones of deep rooted sadness, he knew what it was like, he had just found his second chance too. He was falling in love with Regina. She was and amazing one, unlike anyone he had ever met before. Well of course they were soulmate he had found out. He needed to know she was alright.
"I really don't think that is such a good idea… she kinda destroyed the house and um drank a lot. Shes in bed now…I am really worried about her and I don't think you seeing her will be good for her…"
"Henry I really care about your mother. I will wait out on the porch for her in the morning please let me speak to her then?"
"I will tell her you are waiting in the morning and see how she feels ok? Shes my mom, I know whats best for her." He says closeing the door.
"didn't let you in huh?" robin turns around to see Emma had followed from the diner.
"worried about what she would do to me I take it?" he says with a chuckle
"oh, trust me I am even terrified of what is going through her mind right now. I can to apologize I really had no idea what I was doing I was just trying to save someone….I guess I was worried about her too" Emma says sheepishly.
"I guess I should say sorry to you too, for you know complicating things…" emma trails off and doesn't look at robin but the flowers in the garden.
"yeah, its, how could you have known right?"
"I should have never brought her back" emma exhales loudly running her hand through her hair.
"well I am waiting here till she wakes up. I am determined to talk to her. I don't know what this means but I will not just abandon her that easily. But I have no idea what I am going to do. I was just , my wife, she has been dead 30 years and with Regina I was finally getting over her…"
They talked way into the night . both waiting for the sleeping queen to wake up so they could be sure she was alright…
