Regina woke up and looked at the empty space where Emma would sleep. It was no surprise that she hadn't returned.
The brunette began to get ready for her day as though nothing had happened.
When she made it downstairs, Henry was eating his bowl of cereal and looked up at his mom.
She was surprised to see him awake since he normally wouldn't be awake for a few more hours.
She made her way to the kitchen to make herself a pot of coffee and brought her cup of coffee with her. She sat down across from him.
"Good morning Mom, you don't look so well. Are you sick?"
"Good morning Henry, and I'm not sick. I didn't sleep very well last night, that's all."
"Is Emma coming down for breakfast? She usually comes down a little bit after you."
Regina raised an eyebrow, "How would you know what time Emma eats breakfast?"
"Mom, it's obvious that Emma doesn't go back to her place. She doesn't have to sneak out either because I can hear her. You two are sometimes loud."
Regina cleared her throat, "I will let her know that she can use the front door from now on. I promise that you won't be disturbed at night by us."
Henry let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
He was looking at his mom's clothes for the day and noticed that she wore a small scarf around her neck. It went very well with her outfit.
"I really like your scarf, Mom. It looks really good on you."
Regina smiled a little and touched it for a moment before moving her hand away.
"Why thank you, Henry. I might have to wear them more often then."
Henry smiled, "I'm going to get ready for school now, okay? I'll see you after grandpa takes me to the barn to take care of the horses."
She nodded, "Alright Henry, see you when you get home.

Emma woke up with searing pain in both of her hands. She opened her eyes and focused on her knuckles. There was dry blood on her knuckles with cuts all over them. It seemed that she did a number on herself last night.
Regardless of how much damage Emma had done to her hands, it wasn't even close to making up for what she did.
Her body was sore due to sleeping in such an uncomfortable position. She was so spoiled since she was able to sleep in Regina's bed. It was way better than the bed that she was currently sleeping in.
She stretched and found clothes that were left in the drawers in her bedroom. She wore a t-shirt with a hoodie along with her skinny jeans and boots.
It would be easy to heal her hands, but she wanted to punish herself. The pain would be a constant reminder of last night.
She called the station to let her dad know that she wouldn't be coming in today due to not feeling well. Then, she headed out the door to go straight to Granny's for breakfast.
She thought about how Regina would make her breakfast in the morning when Emma would come by after sleeping at her place. That was going to be something she was going to miss besides Regina herself.
All she could do now was to figure out how to approach Regina. She wouldn't be surprised if she ignored her completely or might go back to keeping Henry away from her. She highly doubted that Regina would do the latter since they agreed to keep Henry out of their relationship.
