Neal smirked as he approached Regina.

"Mr. Cassidy, what can I do for you?" Regina asked as she kept grading.

"You are going to pass me this year," Neal said with a sly grin.

"Excuse me," Regina said meeting his eye and glaring.

"I have these," Neal said holding up pictures of Regina and Emma kissing in her car the previous day.

"How did you get these?" Regina asked flipping through them.

"It doesn't matter, now, I believe you are going to pass me this year," Neal said.

"Certainly not," Regina said taking one of the photos that showed how much Emma and her loved one another.

"I'll show this to your father," Neal threatened.

"Go ahead, I was planning on telling him differently but, your pictures may actually be even more evidence on how serious I am," Regina said. "Now, go away," Regina said. Neal was red faced and stormed out of the room, heading straight for the Mayors office.


Emma groaned as she stretched, her muscles aching from the work out.

"Come on Emma, you're heads not in it," David said. Emma sighed.

"Sorry coach," Emma said going back to punching the mats.

"Want to talk about it?" David asked as he helped her.

"I think I found the one you know? And I'm really scared because…well I've never had a home before or anyone to love or love me," Emma said sadly lazily punching the bag. David sighed and took his gloves off.

"You are a great kid Emma," David said.

"But," Emma said.

"No but, you are the best athlete I've ever seen, and a great artist, I would be proud to call you my daughter and whoever is your father is stupid for giving you up," David said. Emma teared up and hugged him.

"Thank you, you have no idea how much that actually means to me," Emma whispered.

"If you need anything Emma, call me ok," David whispered, holding her close. Emma nodded.

"I promise," Emma whispered pulling away. They pulled back and away from each other.

"Alright, so are you ready?" David asked. Emma nodded.

"Yeah," Emma said as she focused again and started practicing for the match she had that day.


Regina bit her lip as she entered the gym, a MMA cage in the middle of the gym.

"Hey Regina, I didn't expect you to be here," Red said. Regina sighed nervously.

"I'm just here to make sure she doesn't get hurt," Regina said.

"Then you might not want to watch this, I mean, there's sometimes blood." Red warned.

"I know, I promised I'd be here though, even though I really don't want to watch this," Regina said.

"You can sit with me," Red said going to a seat. Regina followed and sat down just as it started.

"Hey sis," Zelena said.

"Zelena? What are you doing here?" Regina asked as Zelena took a seat.

"I knew you would need some support," Zelena said taking her sisters hand. Some girl named Lily came out first then Emma. Regina and Red both screamed and shouted louder than the others, Zelena chuckled at them and clapped for Emma. Emma looked at them and smiled, her smile widened when she looked at Regina.

Regina smiled and waved.

"Hey, stay focused," David said snapping his fingers in front of Emmas face.

"Sorry couch," Emma said. Regina and Red sat back down as Regina nervously took her sisters hand.

"Now, you can beat her, but you have to watch her, she has a mean punch," David warned.

"Nice speech," Emma said nervously.

"You've got this," David said opening the gate. Emma hit her gloves together and got in. Regina gasped as the bell went off and they began fighting, Regina tightened her hold on Zelenas hand with each hit they both received. Red was shouting and cheering Emma on, Regina sighed and joined.

"Come on Emma," Regina whispered.

"She'll be fine," Zelena said to her sister. Regina nodded hopeful.

Emma fell to the ground when Lily kicked her to the gut, Emma came back up and punched her square in the jaw making Lily knock out. While the referee counted Emma concentrated on not passing out, Emma heard cheering and she looked around trying to find Regina, smiling as she put both hands up happy she won which caused more cheering.

"I knew you could do it," David said.

"Thanks couch," Emma said. Regina ran to Emma once the fight ended and she was allowed in the cage.

"Emma you did great," Regina heard David say. Emma nodded. Regina gasped as she saw Emmas bloody lip, swollen cheek, and a horrible bruise on her ribs.

"We have a doctor to look at her," David said to Regina.

"No offense but I don't know that doctor and I would be more comfortable with a doctor I know, I'm taking her to the hospital," Regina said. David held his hands up knowing better than to argue.

"I'll get her stuff," David said as the gym started to clear out. Lily was over with the doctor getting checked out.

"Can you walk?" Regina asked worriedly. Emma nodded limping and walking with Regina to the car.

"Hey Ems, you did great," Red said opening the doors and helping Emma and Regina.

"Thanks Red, I'm glad you enjoyed it," Emma said.

"I surprisingly did, anyway I have a date tonight and just wanted to see you win," Red said.

"Have fun on your date," Emma said with a smile, happy that Red was getting what she wanted.

"Take care of her," Red said to Regina. Regina nodded.

"Of course," Regina said carefully buckling Emma up.

"Here is her bag," David said putting it in the back.

"Thanks David," Emma said.

"Emma, you did great, we will have to practice on your blocking so you don't hurt yourself so bad next time, but other than that, you were fantastic," David said proudness in his eyes as he looked at her. Emma smiled. David nodded closing the door and walking Regina to the drivers side.

"Emma has my number so please text me and let me know how she is," David said to Regina as he opened her door. Regina nodded seeing that David cared for the girl.

"I'll let you know as soon as I do," Regina said buckling up.

"Thank you," David said closing the door and watching them speed off.


Regina pulled up to the hospital; Emma had taken her gloves off ad put on a shirt on the way. Regina got out and grabbed a wheel chair, helping Emma into the chair. Emma flinched and gasped as she sat down, gripping her side. Regina stroked Emmas hair as she locked the door and went in.

"I need to see Dr. Whale, I believe she has a broken rib and a concussion," Regina said to the nurse. The nurse nodded and signed her up.

"Here is some paper work and you can just follow me," the nurse said handing Regina the papers and leading them to a room.

"This really isn't necessary Regina," Emma said. Regina raised an eyebrow as she touched Emma side who flinched and whimpered.

"Yeah, you need to see a doctor," Regina said helping her up on the table.

"Thanks," Emma said. Regina began filling out the papers for Emma.

"What's your blood type?" Regina asked.

"AB negative," Emma said.

"Well that's rare," Regina said writing it down. "Do you know your parents medical history or anything?" Regina asked. Emma shook her head.

"I don't," Emma whispered.

"That's ok," Regina said squeezing her hand and stood up.

"Neal stopped by today at my classroom," Regina said, knowing Emma deserved to know.

"What did he want?" Emma asked holding Regina tightly.

"He took a few pictures of us kissing, he no doubt has showed my father by now," Regina said.

"What are we going to do?" Emma asked.

"Nothing, I think it's about time he accepts who I love and if he doesn't…well we will get through it," Regina said stroking Emmas cheek.

"Together," Emma said. Regina smiled and nodded, leaning in and kissing her deeply. Emma hummed into the kiss. Dr. Whale came in and blushed a little at what he was seeing.

"Oh uhmm…I apologize," Dr. Whale said, the two who pulled away blushing brightly. Regina chuckled.

"It's not your fault," Regina said. Dr. Whale nodded.

"So I hear you might have a concussion and a broken rib," Dr. Whale said taking his flash light and looking into Emmas eyes.

"She just worries," Emma said.

"Well sometimes it's good to worry," Dr. Whale said checking Emmas sides. Emma hissed, gripping Reginas hand tightly.

"Well, your ribs aren't broken, they are cracked though, and you have a middle concussion," Dr. Whale said looking at her paper work. "And I also see that a lot of the information isn't filled out," Dr. Whale said. Emma nodded.

"I'm an orphan, so I don't know a lot about my medical history," Emma said.

"Well, if it is ok with you I'd like to run some blood test? I need to prescribe you some medication but I need to know if you are allergic to anything," Dr. Whale said. Emma nodded.

"Of course," Emma said.

"Great, it will take about thirty minutes, small town means short wait," Dr. Whale said getting a needle and everything to take Emmas blood. "So Regina how's the teaching career?" Dr. Whale asked.

"Great, mother says hi," Regina said. Dr. Whale laughed.

"No she doesn't," he said. Regina chuckled.

"No she doesn't, but what do you expect when you got her daughter high and drunk," Regina chuckled.

"Oh come on, that was when we were in high school," Dr. Whale said as he took Emmas blood.

"Wait, you've been high before?" Emma asked Regina.

"I do it every once in a blue moon," Regina admitted. Dr. Whale chuckled.

"Alright, I'll be back in forty minutes," Dr. Whale said leaving.

"Ok that is really hot," Emma said with a smile.

"What is dear?" Regina asked kissing Emmas knuckles.

"You smoking pot, can we do it together?" Emma asked. Regina chuckled.

"Do you even have any?" Regina asked. Emma shook her head no.

"No," Emma said.

"If I take some from a student then we can," Regina whispered into her ear, Emma smiled kissing her, she was surprised by Regina. Regina smiled into the kiss, wrapping her arms around her neck, kissing her deeply.

"You know maybe you should put a sock on the door," Dr. Whale said as he closed the door.

"That was the shortest forty minutes," Emma said. Dr. Whale chuckled.

"That's because I've been gone for only twenty minutes," Dr. Whale said.

"So what did you find?" Regina asked

"Well you are allergic to penicillin but that's it," Dr. Whale said handing her some medicine. "Your ribs will be fine and the concussion, well Regina you'll need to wake her up every three hours and just keep an eye on it," Dr. Whale said.

"So she is fine?" Regina asked.

"Of course, you're fine Emma, enjoy the weekend," Dr. Whale said leaving. Regina picked up her purse and grabbed Emmas hand.

"Ready?" Regina asked. Emma nodded.
