Regina places Emma on house arrest.
"Regina, this really isn't necessary." Emma said shifting in her spot.
"Yes, Emma it is." Regina shot back.
"Ok, but is this really needed?" Emma said motioning to the thick ankle bracelet Regina had magically placed on her.
"I told you to stay home. You didn't listen. So now you can't leave." Regina replied raising her eyebrows.
"So what if I leave you'll just get a message that I've left?" Emma said frustrated picking at the black intrusion.
"Something like that. Now stay in bed dear, if you know what good for you." Regina placed a kiss on the pouting blonde and gave her a smile. "See you tonight."
Emma let out a frustrated growl and threw her head back against the head board. Suddenly she felt her nose tingle, and without warning, she was thrown in a fit of sneezes. When she had recovered she blew her nose, and threw the tissue in the designated bin by the bed.
Emma had been sick for a few days before Regina finally had noticed. The brunette felt terrible. How does one not notice their wife is sick? The answer is Emma being a particularly great hider. When Regina had told her not to go to work, Emma had agreed but became restless and went to work.
The first day David found Emma asleep in the patrol car, parked outside the station. When he called Regina was furious but took the woman home. The second day Emma made it to lunch when she got a craving or a grilled cheese. Granny had called Regina asking her to please pick the sheriff up from the diner, because she had become too weak to leave a booth. The next day Emma tried to convince Regina she was better, but with no avail. Just shortly after her wife left for work, she had left the house and went to the sheriff's station. She made it there just fine, but as soon as she sat down her body went limp against the desk. Snow, who had come in to give David his forgotten lunch, had found Emma quietly snoring in her desk. When she went to wake her daughter, Emma jumped and pulled her unloaded gun out pointing it at the wall. That was the last straw for Regina.
This morning Regina out the magic cuff on Emma, as well as an ankle bracelet, so she would know when her wife even attempted to move toward the door.
Emma pulled at the cuff on her wrist, and used whatever energy she had to try and magic it away. No luck, all she got was a pounding headache. Suddenly tears filled her eyes as she laid back on to the pillows. She heard Regina open the front door, and she called after her.
When the brunette rushed into the room she found a sobbing blonde. Regina dropped her purse and went to the side of the bed quickly.
"What's wrong?" Regina asked concerned sitting down holding Emma's hand. Heat radiated through the blankets.
"I won't leave today I promise, please don't keep me locked up. I don't like it." Emma whined squeezing her wife's hand. "It reminds me of-of"
Suddenly she felt a release of pressure on her ankle, the cuff on her wrist was poofed off in a puff of purple. She heard shoes fall onto the floor, and Regina crawled over the blonde pulling her close. Emma continued to cry, until she was too tired to continue, Regina offering words of encouragement.
"I'm sorry, I just don't like being sick. I hate being useless." Emma croaked after a few moments.
"Hey" Regina said placing her hands on Emma's cheeks lifting her head so their eyes met. "You will never be useless, do you understand. Don't be sorry for being sick, it happens to everyone. Ok?" Regina swiped her thumbs under Emma's eyes wiping tears away.
Emma smiled softly. "Will you stay home today?"
"Well I'm already considerably late. So I might as well." Regina teased earning a small shove from the blonde.
Emma rolled onto her die facing away from her wife and scooting in closer. "Thank you Regina." She whispered.
"Your welcome dear. Just promise me the next time you get sick I won't have to put you on house arrest?" Regina whispered back.
"No promises." Emma felt a small pinch in her side. "I'm kidding, I'll behave next time."
Regina chucked, "I love you."
"I love you too." Pause "Warden."
