Day 1: Bed Sharing

Regina was awoken by the sound of something breaking and then a muttered profanity. "Shit! Shit, shit, shit. Regina's going to kill me." 'Of course it had to be Emma, she has been having a rough time, well let's hope she doesn't get cut', Regina thought as she got out of bed and walked to the stairs. She saw Emma picking up pieces of her, now broken vase, and trying to put the slivers on the stand while failing miserably.

"Ms. Swan, what are you doing here at ungodly hours?" Regina knelt and picked up the rest of the pieces and put them on the stand. Removing the sliver from Emma's hand carefully as to not cut her.

"I-I-well-", Emma muttered something unintelligible.

"What was that dear?" Regina pulled Emma to sit at the stairs worried that Emma might lose her balance and cut herself with the shards on the floor.

As she and Emma sat on the stairs the clock struck making the blond jump.

"Emma, what is going on? Why are you so drunk?"

"I am not drunk, Regina!" The blond shot up but stumbled and fell on her ass.

"Emma! Are you okay?!" Regina extended her hands to Emma but got her hands slapped away.

"What do you care?" Emma's pained expression was not missed by the brunette even as the blond sat looking down and away from her.

"I care, Emma. Come on, I think that you need is to sleep it off after you drink an aspirin." Regina pulled Emma up from her arms, once standing, Regina slipped her arm around Emma's waist. They headed up the stairs towards Regina's Room.

"Uhm...is this your room?" Emma shifted from foot to foot a bit awkwardly as Regina still held her waist.

"Yes. I think its best you sleep here with me where I can monitor you all night. In case you regurgitate in your sleep. I don't want you drowning in it. And if you need anything during the night I'll be just next to you for you to wake me up."

"S-so we will be sharing?" Emma looked around to see if there was a way to substitute that option. Being drunk didn't give as much control as she had when she was sober, especially in keeping her walls up.

"If- if you wish you could sleep in the guest room. I could just set my alarm to wake me up to check on you. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable, Emma. I am okay with whatever you choose." Regina started to worry her hands not only worried for Emma's health but also because she worried what option Emma might choose.

If Emma choose to sleep there with her she was afraid she might get closer to the blond; her walls had almost but crumbled since the blond and she had gone on that trip out of town. But she was also afraid of the blond choosing to sleep in the guest room of course she would be understanding but hurt that the blond didn't trust her enough to be in the same room. Whichever the blond choose it would be rough on her.

"Well I guess I could stay here if you really don't mind." Emma turned to look at the brunette then pointed to the bed, "so what side?"

"I sleep on the right." Regina then turned to her drawers where she picked out some pajamas for the blond. "You may use this restroom." She turned the lights on for the blond and closed the door as Emma placed her clothes on the rail that held towels.

Emma started to strip her clothing but when she tried to shimmy out of her skin tight jeans she fell. Just as she was getting up Regina ran in. "Emma!" Helping her up and sitting her down on the toilet, Regina knelt in front of Emma making sure she wasn't seriously injured.

Feeling satisfied that Emma was fine she looked up and locked eyes with Emma. Her hands rested on Emma's waist and she silently asked the blond if she could help her undress. With a nod from the blond the brunette helped remove the pants from the blond and helped her dress up as well. Regina helped Emma to get into bed then rounded the bed to turn in for the night. She pulled the covers and turned the light off with only the dim light from the restroom illuminating the room.

"I am sorry for snapping at you." Emma turned to face Regina.

Regina turned to face Emma, "Its ok. We can talk about it when you have sobered up. I want you to tell me when you are in all your senses."

Emma saw the kindness in Regina's eyes and just nodded. She closed her eyes and let sleep take over her exhausted mind and body.

Regina stared at the blond as she saw the blonde's body relax as sleep took her and noticed for the first time how soft her features where. Regina instead of feeling nervous or scared she felt at ease there with the blond. She had never felt so comfortable and safe sharing her bed, but now Emma there with her she saw that it was much nicer than she was willing to admit. Soon the safe and comfort took over the brunette easing her into a deep sleep.

The brunette awoke with the blond sprawled almost completely on top of her but the thing that amazed her the most was the fact that in her sleep she had put her arm around the blond. She checked to see that the blond was still fine and seeing that she was indeed well and fast asleep she joined her in sleeping for the rest of the night.
