"So Emma," Regina said, once they were finally alone, "do you want to see your new room?" Emma nodded and Regina held out her hand, which Emma quickly took. The brunette led the kid upstairs to the room closest to her own. As they entered, Emma gasped. Her mouth was hanging wide open. "This is my room?" She asked Regina surprised. When Regina nodded, she asked "only for me?" Again the brunette nodded. "Do you like it?" Emma nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Mills" She said politely. "Call me Regina, darling."
After helping Emma put away the little stuff she had, Regina asked her what she wanted to do. "I'll just play in here, quietly." Emma said, as she took a half broken Barbie out of her backpack. Regina looked at her sadly. "Emma, your doll is broken." The little girl looked at the doll and then at Regina. "I got it this way from my last foster home after their real kids took al my other toys." That broke Regina's heart. She promised herself that she would give this little girl a better life. She'd give her anything she wants.
"You know what? Tomorrow, we'll go shopping together, okay? I'm going to buy you lots of great toys and new cloths and then we'll go and eat pancakes at the diner. What do you think?" Emma smiled widely. "You really want to do all that with me?" Regina sat down next to the little girl with her broken doll. "Of course I want to, darling." Suddenly Emma hugged Regina tightly.
After a few seconds, Emma shyly pulled away. "I'm sorry." She said quickly. "You're just really nice." Regina pulled Emma in for another hug. "Do you want to watch a movie with me?" Regina asked. Emma's eyes widened and she nodded excitedly. "What do you want to watch?" Emma frowned. "I get to pick?" The brunette nodded. "The Little Mermaid, please?" Regina smiled. "Great choice."
The little girl held out her arms, a clear sign she wanted to be carried, to which Regina happily complied. Sitting her down on the couch, Regina prepared the movie and grabbed a blanket. When she sat down, the little girl didn't waste a second cuddling into her. Halfway through the movie, Emma was out like a light. Regina decided that it was late anyway and carried her to her room. She tucked her in, kissed her forehead, turned of the light and left the door half open, before going to bed herself.
