Pulling up to the gate as lurkers slowly limped down the road behind them, Emma and August both stared in awe at the huge building in front of them. There was a big field with gates and paths, watch towers and they could see people out in the court yard.

Regina waited as a brown haired kid, who looked even younger than Emma ran to open the gates. He waved to them as they drove by, running to close the gate back.

"How long have you all been here?" Emma asked looking out of the window in shock.

"About five months now." Jefferson answered twirling his hat on his finger.

Regina parked the truck and everyone moved to get out. Jefferson came around to help August out and Mulan grabbed their bag of clothes. Emma's ponytail swayed behind her as she turned her head looking around.

"Jefferson take August inside to see Doc. Tell him I want that leg looked at promptly." Regina ordered and Jefferson nodded.

Emma moved to go with them but Regina stopped her.

"Don't worry, he will be just fine. Let's get you something to eat, dinner should have started by now." Regina walked towards the courtyard where everyone was sat down eating out of bowls.

Emma guess that meant to follow so she did, Mulan walked off with their bag on her shoulder.

"Granny Lucas! We have a few new members of our group. What's for dinner tonight?" Regina asked as they got closer to a woman scooping a ladle in and out of a big pot.

"The same thing we have every night, Regina." The older woman scooped out bland noodles. "Where's my granddaughter?"

"I'm right here granny." Ruby spoke up walking behind them towards the table. "And we won't have to worry about tasteless noodles anymore, Sunshine here has a green thumb." Ruby pointed to Emma.

Granny looked over to Emma and Henry, the little boy was starring up looking at the lights. "What's your name, honey?" she asked.

"Emma Swan-White." Emma replied short and quick.

"White? Are you related to Leopold White?" Granny asked.

"Yeah...he was my grandfather." Emma sighed.

Granny nodded her head along and kept filling bowls. "I knew your grandmother Eva very well."

Emma's eyebrow arched, "Oh? I never met her."

"Yes, I catered their wedding in fact. I was there when your mother was born... It shocked me to hear that she'd run off with that boy. But then again she was a rebellious child." Granny shrugged.

"My mother was rebellious?" Emma snickered, "Mary Margaret White was a rebel? I find that hard to believe."

"Well once you and this little guy are all settled you just come by and we can have a chat." Granny smiled.

"We also brought her brother August back with us, Granny. But I have a feeling he wont be eating anything tonight. Just make enough for everyone in the morning." Regina grabbed some bowls. "Let's sit over here."

Regina nodded her head to a table and walked over and again, Emma followed the taller woman. She placed the bowls down and went to grab some cups of water, Emma sat down with Henry in her lap as she went to do that. When she came back Henry was reaching for the bowl but the soup was too hot. He whined as Emma moved his hands back, looking back and up at her, he made the sign for "Eat" in sign language.

"You taught him sign language?" Regina asked as she sat down.

"My little brother Adam was deaf and non verbal, so to communicate everyone learned to sign in the house." Emma looked up and nodded, "My dad even got the farm hands to take classes." she chuckled. "I've been fluent in ASL since I was six, Henry's only 2 but I want him to be familiar with it, its a great skill to have and...silence is very important nowadays."

Regina nodded her head and listened intently, "That is very true...why Henry?" she asked.

"Huh?"

"His name. Why Henry?"

Emma shrugged, "The name of kings, it had a nice feeling to it really...August picked it out actually. He said if the world was still as it was, Henry would have inherited our farm and our home. He said he should have a name of a ruler...August calls him Hal sometimes though." Emma scrunched her nose.

"My father's name is Henry." Regina revealed and chuckled. "His family called him the same."

"Really? That's nice...Is he here?" Emma treaded.

"He is yes. After you've rested I will let you meet him and you two can talk about the garden he has been trying to start. He hasn't had much success though, I'm afraid." Regina tsked. "He was a judge before the world went to shit."

"How ironic." Emma snorted and Regina looked at her, "So he got to send people to a place just like this and now you've been living in one for 5 months."

Regina chuckled, "Yes I suppose there is some irony in that...He was an advocate for Immigrant rights though, he did his best to reunite families and receive justice for those who had been mistreated by officers swore to uphold peace, etc." Regina rolled her eyes. "He never dismissed anyone's feelings."

"He sounds like a great man." Emma replied.

"Yes, he is." Regina nodded her head.

They started to eat and Emma took the fork and held up noodles to Henry, he reached for them with his little chubby fingers and he started slurping them into his. Emma chuckled at the sounds and he turned to smile at Emma and giggled every time he did it.

"How old are you Emma?" Regina looked at her.

"20." Emma straightened her face and looked up at the woman. "How old are you?" her brow arched.

"34. I don't mean to be rude you just look young. There are people here around your age. I could tell you who they are. Hell, I can tell you who everyone is. Get yourself acquainted with the group." Regina shrugged.

"You...want me to make friends?" Emma asked.

"From what your brother told me its just been the two of you for over a year." Regina arched her brow.

"Yeah...even before the world ended, I was always sort of a loner though." Emma shrugged and fed Henry.

"Well there isn't anything wrong with that, I'm just saying that. You're here now. You three bring us to a number of 108. That many people around you, you can at least make yourself familiar with some people." Regina reasoned.

Emma nodded her head and they finished eating in silence, minus Henry's giggles. After eating they threw the bowls into a tray.

"Let me show you where you'll be sleeping." Regina turned and started to walk away.

Emma took wider steps to catch up, Henry firmly on her hip.

"Will you take us to August first?" She asked.

"This way." Regina nodded and made her way towards the medical wing of the prison.

As they got closer they could hear painful groaning, and muffled screams. Emma instantly got worried and rushed forward.

"August?" Emma rushed in and saw him laying back on a table.

His head was turned neck tight and he was biting down on a belt as the man, wiped and poked around his wound. The Doctor looked up from what he was doing and looked at them standing in the doorway. August released a deep breath and sagged against the table.

"Did you give him anything for the pain Doc?" Regina asked entering the room.

"I offered...but he refused them." The doctor looked up above his glasses.

"What?!" Emma stepped in. "August why did you-"

"They don't need to waist it on me Emma." August sighed. "It was stupid of me to climb up on that shelf."

Emma looked like she wanted to scream at him. Yes! It was stupid, so stop punishing yourself more for it. You fucking idiot.

Regina spoke up, "August I understand but there will be more supplies I'm sure. We will ration what we can out to you and when you are better and back on your feet...you can help us find more."

August was all pale and sweaty, he had lost a lot of blood.

"What are we doing to help young August here, Doc?" Regina leaned against the table.

"He has lost a lot of blood, the tourniquet he applied no doubt bought him some time, but there's no telling how sanitary the wooden stake was and he is prone to have some infection by now...he still has functions of his toes and can slightly bend his knee and I have already sterilized the area...I say the quickest way to stop the bleeding and close the wound is to cauterize the area. It is very painful though." He finished.

"Well then let's get him something for the pain, and close this wound." Regina ordered and the Doctor moved to get what he needed.

"Emma you shouldn't be here for this." August sat up on his elbows.

"You want me to leave?" Emma whispered.

"It's not like that Em...Henry shouldn't be here to see this either. You both should go lay down get some sleep, ok? I'll see you in the morning." August grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"I can take you to your cell and come back and sit with your brother, the pain medication should already have started to take affect when I come back." Regina offered and Emma just had a sad look on her face but nodded.

Walking out of the Medical Wing, showing Emma where the showers were, Regina walked them to D block, and walked down to the first available cell. Emma walked in and saw their bag was already on the bed.

"The beds aren't the most comfortable but we make do with what we have. Again we passed the showers, you're welcome to use them." Regina looked around the cell.

"Are you saying I smell bad?" Emma teased.

Regina turned around and her eyebrows shot up.

"No! Not at all! I-" Regina started and Emma chuckled.

"I was joking Captain." Emma smiled.

Regina sighed and shook her head, but she was smiling.

"I appreciate this, all of this. It's hard to find decent people in this world now."

"Sadly that is true." Regina sighed. "Well I will let you settle. I will come back once he is done. Keep you updated."

Regina went to walk out of the room.

"Regina." But that stopped her, "Thank you." Emma gave a small smile.

"You're welcome Ms. Swan. Get some rest."

Emma watched her walk away and Henry moved in her arms, wanting to be let down. Letting him down, Emma watched him walk over to the wall and take his pacifier out of his mouth. He pointed his chubby finger towards the blue stars drawn on the wall and looked back at Emma. He pointed his finger up and brought it up and down, doing the sign for star.

"Staar" Henry looked back at her to make sure she could see. "Buuu Mama." He kept making the sign for star with one hand and signing for her to look.

Emma smiled and walked over squatting behind him, she loved when he actually spoke. Its crazy to think such a well developed language starts off as just ooh and aaahs and mmms.

"They're pretty huh?" Emma signed pretty and signed stars and Henry shook his head yes in agreement.

Emma smiled and watched him put his pacifier back into his mouth. Kissing the top of his forehead, Emma picked him up and grabbed the bag from the bed, and some shower shoes they provided and walked down to the showers. They had some hygiene stuff in this bag two and their own towel.

Entering the showers, she saw that they were completely empty. She silently praised and quickly undressed her and Henry. Moving into the stall, Emma kept the curtain cracked so she could keep an eye on their things. Turning on the water, Henry squealed and reached from the falling drops. Emma smiled at him, rubbing the soap together in her rag and washed herself up as quick as she could with one arm, then she washed Henry up.

The toddler reached out and brought his wet hand back, as if he was trying to wash his brown straight hair. Emma would have to find some scissors and cut his hair soon it was getting too long. Emma washed all the dirt and must away before she turned the water off. She grabbed the towel and wiped Henry down and then did the same for herself before covering their bodies as best as she could with the towel.

Emma dug through the clothes, she took out a long sleeve white shirt that had a giraffe on it and some little black warm joggers. She stood him up on the bench and quickly dressed herself, taking her ponytail out, she would wash her hair another day. Running a hand through her golden waves, Emma chuckled as Henry tried to do what she did.

Gathering all their things together Emma walked back to D block and saw that people were in their cells laying down. She stepped as quietly as she could and went back to their assigned cell where she found Regina leaning against the end of the bunk.

"August is fine, as fine as he can be and from what the doctor could see. He cauterized the area and got the wound closed...August passed out not too long after he started though." Regina stated.

Emma looked down and nodded her head, but still had a sad look on her first. This was good news of course, but August still had to make it through whatever infection he had. Emma looked back up and gave her a small smile.

"Thank you." Emma replied lowly.

"Your brother is a fighter Emma, he's resilient. I'm hopeful that he will pull through. Make a full recovery in time." Regina was hopeful that was good. As a woman responsible for the lives of 100 people you had to be, not always expecting death all the time. Death was all around them.

"Doc has agreed to monitor him through the night." She finished.

Emma nodded and put Henry down and the back down.

"You wouldn't happen to have any scissors would you?...Henry's hair is getting so long." Emma looked down at him.

"There's a young woman here, her name is Ivy Tremaine, she cuts hair for a few people and some kids here in the prison. I can introduce you to her once you're able." Regina offered.

"That would be great yeah." Emma smiled.

Henry stood up on the bed and started to pull at her clothes, reaching for her breast and whining, signing to eat. Regina's eyes got big and she looked away, and made her way to the door.

"I will let you both turn in for the night. I am in Cell Block C, so I'm not that far. When you have enough energy come and find me tomorrow." Regina put her hands behind her back. "Good night."

"Good night, Regina."

Emma watched the woman disappear through the cell door and sat back as Henry climbed into her lap. She pulled her shirt up and Henry dropped his pacifier, and started to suckle on her breast. Emma sighed and grabbed his blanket throwing it over her shoulder.

When he was done, she didn't have to rock him to sleep for long, the shower did him good and he was out like a light. Emma laid back and got comfortable, as she did the lights out in the main hall switched off. The light from the moon shined through the window.

Emma sighed and tried to will herself to sleep, she was safe, right? She didn't need to sleep with one eye open anymore. August was ok and they were safe behind wired fences and bricks. Her eye lids started to get heavier and she relaxed against the pillow, finally falling to sleep.

Over in C block Regina removed her clothes and sat on her bed and sighed, she would shower tomorrow. Laying back on her pillow, Regina threw her hands over her face.

"My gods what a day." She sighed.

Regina heard the sheet to her cell flap and move, meaning someone had entered her room. Regina looked up and saw the wild haired blonde standing at her door. Regina arched her brow as Mal walked in and crawled onto her lap, hovering over her.

"I'm not in the mood right now, Mal." Regina sighed.

"You haven't been in the mood for days, Mills. What the hell is going on with you?" Mal scuffed.

"I don't understand why you keep coming to me when you've been fucking Baron." Regina hissed and pushed her off and she landed on the other side of the mattress.

"Oh don't tell me you're upset over that." Mal huffed.

"Get out." Regina turned away.

Mal smirked and brought her hand around Regina's hip, pushing her hips forward against the brunette's ass. She wrapped her fingers around the woman's dick and stroked it. She felt Regina shiver but then a hand wrapped around her wrist and pushed her away.

Regina sat up and threw her legs over the edge of the bed and looked at Mal over her shoulder.

"Get out. And don't ever fucking touch me again without my permission." Regina hissed.

Mal looked at her shocked and slightly embarrassed before scooting out of the bed and walking out of the cell. Regina sighed and laid back down, and continued to think about the day. She wasn't hard from Mal touching her but then she started to think about the young blonde they'd saved today.

Emma was absolutely beautiful and with her hair down the way it was, stunning! Gods! Regina groaned as she started thunking about running her hands through that hair. The main lights in the block shut off for the night, as Regina shoved her hand into her boxers.

Quickly she jerked and squeezed her dick, until she found sweet release. Throwing her head back in a silent moan, Regina twitched and her muscles tensed until she sagged against the mattress and ran a hand through her hair.

Yeah she was definitely going to need that shower tomorrow.
