Snow walked in a while later to Regina sitting on the floor holding her daughter.

Regina's eyes snapped up, and she pleaded with Snow to help her.

"I… I did something bad. Emma…it hurt Emma…"

Snow paused, Emma seemed to be breathing, she cocked an eyebrow at her stepmother when Regina sighed in frustration and bounced Emma a bit with nerves.

"No… not like that…I tried to take pills and she… she freaked out. I just… I'm… sorry…" Her voice trailed off at the end.

Snow taking a moment to be relieved. She walked past the two women into the bathroom and wet a couple of towels – using one to wipe up Emma and her mess while giving the second to Regina to hold onto Emma's head.

Snow rubbed Regina's arm when she saw her still shaking.

"Why don't I put Emma on the couch… then you and me, we'll make some tea and chat…"

Regina nodded and reluctantly let Snow remove Emma from her arms.

A moment later Snow returned and helped her stand, sitting her down in the bathroom to wipe her up.

Regina glancing at the floor with tired eyes.

Snow following her gaze, "I'll sweep them up later… don't worry about it…"

Regina nodded and closed her eyes as Snow ran the cold cloth over her face.

Snow sitting on her heals waiting for Regina to look at her.

"She loves you, you know that?"

Regina's lip quivered….and she almost mentioned that Emma kissed her, but she held that information back.

Snow watched as Regina thought long and hard about something, then slowly closed her mouth and looked at Snow.

"Regina, we love you."

Regina smiled sadly and clasped her hands in her lap, slowly raising her eyes.

"I'm so sorry Snow…"

Snow pushed up to her knees and pulled Regina into a tight hug, "It's alright. You talk to me next time, ok? Whenever you hear Cora in your head or… my father…"

Snow blinked rapidly to keep from crying over that.

"We'll make their voices go away Regina. We will…"

Regina nodded. It took her a while but she finally sniffled and pulled back. She pushed her dark disheveled hair behind her ears and placed a forced smile on her face.

"Tea then?"

Snow caught her arm as she stood.

"Promise me Regina."

Regina held her gaze, "I will Snow."

The two brunettes sat in the kitchen drinking their tea and Snow slowly was able to bring Regina back to herself.

"I hate that bird painting you put in the office…."

Snow laughed into her tea, "I thought you burned it…"

Regina grinned happily, "I did…"

Snow sighed dramatically, "Too bad I put a replica in your room as a home warming gift…"

Regina's mouth hung open in shock and Snow could tell she was about to whine. Regina noticed however the way Snow's smile widened.

"You didn't… you're lying…"

Snow rolled her eyes, "Well I should have then, because that look on your face…"

Regina watched as Snow set her tea down, "Was better than any curse." Winking at her stepmother.

A/N: She's starting to do better :D
