Hello my darlings! So... Have we all survived that season finale? I mean hello awkward magic ball on hip level that exploded and was kind of heart shaped. Oh and now that my ship is on a ship together, there is a summer break. Frustration is underrated. It is.
Now I hope you'll still enjoy my attempt to ease the pain.
"Hi mom!"
"Hi honey." Regina smiled, watching Henry run passed her at the front door. She let her eyes wander on him, running up the stairs, for a moment longer, before looking back to Emma on her doorstep.
"Hi…" The blonde smiled and cocked her head.
"Hello Ms. Swan." She always felt so annoyed when Regina called her that. Although she did make it sound kind of sexy. EMMA. Stop it. Ruby is putting thoughts into your head. "I hope you enjoyed your days with Henry." And wide smile crossed the younger woman's face.
"Oh yeah! He even had peas. I made him eat peas." The brunette rolled her eyes.
"Oh joy, one portion of peas. I guess I s…." Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Emma made one fast stride and grabbed a cold hand to hoist the former queen up again.
"Wow… what are you…" She muttered before she realized Regina was actually out cold. "Regina?" Emma sounded a little panicked. Okay. Okay… what to do, what to do, when your arch nemesis passes out on you? Oh couch! Couch is good! Carefully she pulled the smaller woman into her arms, one arm under her legs, the other supporting her torso. She quickly made her way over to the couch in the den. Clumsily dumping the woman in her arms down on it. Oh well, she was out anyway. Thank god for small favors.
"Regina?" She tried again, tapping the brunette's cheek. No reaction. Emma, ready to start freaking out now, grabbed the arm dangling from the couch. She held onto a stone cold hand, intending to search for a pulse, but as she pulled up the sleeves of the mayor turtleneck, she gasped slightly. Her wrist was covered in bruises, in various stages. Purple, blue and soft green/yellow pieces of skin were staring right back at her. The blonde inhaled a shaky breath, softly dragging her fingertips across the bruises. 'Dru.' Her mind screamed, as she felt the brunette stiffen under her touch. "Regina?" Not even half opened orbs of brown, stared at her hazily. Then they went round and very awake all of a sudden. Regina snatched back her wrist in a second.
"What are you doing?" She yelled angrily.
"You passed out. I was making sure you were still alive." Emma huffed, holding up both hands as a sign of peace. Not until now, the brunette looked around, obviously recognizing she wasn't in the hallway anymore. "I'm taking you to a doctor."
"What? No!" Regina sat up fast, trying to grab Emma's hand, as she got up to. "No! I'm fine."
"HENRY!" The blonde yelled, pulling away from Regina. "You're not fine. You passed out on me twice in the last couple of days." Hands firmly planted onto her hips, as if to contribute to the point she was making.
"I am! I'm just tired."
"Your hands are cold as ice, you're sweating and you are badly bruised, Regina." Emma slowly added, making sure she wasn't sounding anything but concerned. Regina's mouth opened and closed again. "Come on. You're seeing Whale." Emma turned around, walking to the door. She turned around as she didn't hear Regina follow her. "Now!"
"No. It's just… I'm fine. These…" She gulped, holding up her wrists, revealing bruises on the other wrist as well. "They are just… from playing." Emma cocked an eyebrow.
"Playing?" Regina rolled her eyes.
"You know… playing?" Emma still looked confused.
"The kind of playing that makes you tired, because you do it at night… in a bed?" She added, face turning as red as one of her apples.
"OH! Sex!" Emma said out loud, throwing her hands up in the air. "Why didn't you just say that?"
"Yeah?" Henry called to them from the top of the stairs. She got a stern look from Regina back, who seemed ready to yell another 'Ms. Swan!'. "Okay, alright! I'm sorry." Emma turned to the hallway again. "NEVER MIND HENRY!" Before she could say anything else, a gush of cold wind swiped the house. Regina shot up from the couch, pushing her towards the door.
"Thank you again for bringing Henry by, Ms. Swan." She said, a little louder as intended.
"But… w…" The confused blonde muttered, turning around on the doorstep.
"Hi lady." A velvet voice came from the kitchen.
Have a nice dayLay love Evil Regals, Ugly Ducklings, Swan Queeners, Evil Duckings and everyone else who has wandered here! Xoxo
