Emma walked out of the sheriff's office, as it was just another day atwork. She had expected to go through the normal routine, which almost always was get back to the apartment, eat dinner, and go to sleep as prep for the next days work. Recent events had caused today to be completely different though. Ever since magic had arrived in Storybrooke all of this powerful magic Emma had been given had gotten to her, giving her severe headaches that she had gotten used to over time, but after a while she had figured that it was about time to tell her son, Henry. Once Emma had gotten to Mary Margaret and David's apartment she had realized Henry was there all alone, this was the perfect time to tell him about her problem. "Hey kid, where have Mary Margaret and David gone?" asked Emma only slightly concerned about their whereabouts.

"They said they were going to have a date night and they knew that you would be back soon. I guess they were right!" Henry exclaimed as he ran up to hug his mother.

This was the moment when she got nervous. Today the effects had been really bad and she wasn't quite sure on how to tell the kid this news. Emma gestured towards the couch and sat down slowly, trying not to show her dizziness. "I need to tell you something...I've been being affected by all of this magic I have now. It's just headaches but I'm going to see Dr. Whale tomorrow to make sure nothing is seriously wrong." Emma leaned in to hug her son but almost immediately, she passed out.

"Mom!?" Henry said scared, the young boy ran, picked up the phone and called his normal babysitter, Belle.

Fifteen minutes later Belle arrived and saw Henry, crying over his mother who was lying, passed out on the couch.

"Henry, who should I call to take care of this?" Belle asked slightly shaken.

"Regina...call her...she'll know what to do." Henry said taking long pauses to breathe in-between his words.

Belle called Regina and spent the time before she arrived pacing the apartment floor, anxiously. Regina at last, ran in saying in her motherly voice

"Is Henry okay?!"

Henry, with his tear stained face said unsteadily said

"I am…she's not…" Pointing to the unconscious Emma, lying limply on the couch.

Seeing what happened, Regina ran up to Emma and sat down next to her.

"Henry, honey... go get a bowl of water and a towel please." Regina said sweetly.

Then in a suddenly firm voice she said "Belle, I need you go to Mr. Gold's shop and find a medallion. This will help wake Emma up." Belle quickly ran out of the apartment and towards the shop. Henry brought the water and towel to Regina, who soaked the towel and gently dabbed Emma's forehead. "Henry, go pack your bags. We are going to spend the night at my house. Emma's not safe here alone." Regina said. Henry nodded weakly and ran back into Emma's bedroom. Belle then soon ran back in carrying the golden medallion Regina had been talking about. She took the necklace from Belle, gently lifted Emma's head, and put the medallion around her neck. With a start Emma woke up gasping for air. "Henry..." We're the first words to escape her mouth. From Emma's bedroom, Henry heard his mother say his name and he ran into the living room. "Mom..." Henry cried over his mothers pale body. Regina awkwardly interrupted with

"Henry go get the bags...we should be going"

She then turned to Emma and said "Are you okay with that Miss. Swan?" Emma stared at the mayor and replied with

"Yeah… I guess so…"

As Emma went to stand to leave Regina grabbed her shoulders and very gently pushed back onto the couch by Regina.

"And just where do you think you are going to get this strength to walk from?"

Emma was confused by Regina's kindness but decided to go along with it.

"I guess you're right..." Emma quietly replied, only slightly scared about Regina's actions

Then, all together, with Regina supporting Emma, and Henry slowly walking behind. The three of them walked out of the apartment.
