Emma returned to Regina's that night with some pizza for them and Henry. She had called earlier to let Regina know when she'd be back and that she would bring dinner. Pizza was not at the top of Regina's approved dinner list, but it would have to do.
"Hi," Emma said to her as she peaked into the room before going to the kitchen with the pizza. She yelled up to Henry to let him know dinner was ready and then returned to Regina. "Feeling up to dinner at the table?"
"Sure," Regina said. She got up on the crutches and made her way into the dining room. When she saw the pizza she gave Emma a look but didn't say anything. They ate their food and Regina studied Emma throughout as she spoke with Henry. Some of the nervousness that Emma had shown earlier seemed to be diminished or at least not as noticeable. She let Henry and Emma do most of the talking throughout dinner. The truth was, she wasn't that hungry and she had a headache. She managed to eat a couple of slices and then she excused herself and went back to the couch and laid down.
Emma cleaned up after dinner, checked on Regina who was asleep and then went upstairs to play a few video games with her son.
After an hour and half of games with Henry, Emma went back downstairs to check on Regina, who was lying there with her eyes open. Emma moved Regina's legs up and sat down, placing the legs down on her lap.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes," Regina said. "Just had a headache."
"It was nice, sitting down and having dinner with you and Henry."
"It's not just a headache," Regina said. "I've been thinking about things since you left; thinking about what you said about how difficult this could be if we were to pursue a relationship."
"What do you mean if? I thought that this is what you wanted. You, me, Henry. Don't you want that?"
"Yes, I do," Regina breathed out. "It's … you are so upset about all of this. There are so many complications. It will change how people look at you and what if you resent me for this? What if you wake up one day and you resent because I did this to you? I am asking you to change your whole life and for what, the chance this will work out? Maybe, I … I am asking too much. You went out with Hook because he made more sense for you than me. Maybe that is what this boils down to – I don't make sense in your life."
"Whoa," Emma said. "I'm the one who is supposed to freak out, not you."
"Do we need to take a step back from this? You know to figure out what we want."
"I told my mother about us."
"Oh."
