When Emma woke the next morning she had no idea that Regina knew about her other injuries or how she ended up in the mayors mansion, the smell of freshly brewed coffee infiltrated the young woman's senses and she made her way downstairs slowly and carefully as to not anger her injuries.

When Emma entered the kitchen she saw that Regina was cooking breakfast while Henry was at the table reading one of his many comic books.

"Morning."

"Morning Emma." Henry said not even looking up from his comic.

"How'd you sleep dear?"

"First answer me this. How did I even get here?"

"Graham got you to my car then once we were here he carried you inside."

"Ok then and to answer your question I slept fine."

Regina could tell by the way Emma's jaw tightened that the blonde was lying through her teeth.

"New question. Why are Henry and I here last time I checked it was my week with him like we agreed?"

"Don't be mad Emma but I called mom."

"Why?"

"Because I was worried about you."

"Why would you be worried about me for kid?"

"Because of your injuries."

"My face and head are fine."

At that moment Regina decided to step in and confront Emma about her other injuries.

"He's talking about the bruises on your torso Emma."

Emma just looked at them now knowing that they both saw her injured midsection, and true to her nature Emma turned and ran straight for the stairs but just as she got to the first step Regina had grabbed ahold of the blonde's slender wrist.

"Don't run from this Emma."

Emma surprised Regina when she broke down in tears while still trying to pull her arm free.

"Please let me go I didn't mean to tell they forced it out of me."

Hearing this Regina became curious and confused at the same time so she let go of the blonde's wrist and watched as Emma sank to the floor and drew her knees to her chest wrapping her arms around them and curled into a tight ball almost as if she were trying to disappear by making herself as small as she could.

Regina decided on a softer approach and got down to Emma's level and spoke gently to the younger woman.

"Emma I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you I am so sorry."

Regina opened her arms ready to wrap Emma in them when suddenly Emma threw herself into Regina's open arms and clung to her as if she were afraid to let go.

Regina tried to get Emma to talk about what had caused the blonde to become scared like she had but Emma refused to answer for fear of what Regina would think of her.

The more Regina tried to get Emma to talk to her about the reason behind her breakdown the higher her walls became, by now they were so high that you'd need a dragon to get on the other side and Regina was becoming increasingly worried.

Emma wasn't trying to be difficult she was just trying to protect herself from facing reality and she was also trying to protect Regina from her past.

As days passed Emma would swing by Regina's to pick up Henry for her two weeks sporting a new bruise and a map of cuts.

Finally Regina decided to follow Emma around town all day to find out how she was getting hurt, however she was not prepaired for what she saw.
