Turning onto her side on the mattress as she started to wake, Emma stretched and pulled Henry closer to her chest. Squinting her eyes open and looking around, Emma remembered where they were.

In a prison. We were actually rescued yesterday. It wasn't a dream. You aren't laying dead in the woods, chewed up into a thousand pieces.

Looking done Emma saw Henry laying against her chest with his hand clutching at her shirt sleeve. Running her hand over his head leisurely, Emma listened out. She could hear people talking and moving around starting their day, but it was still pretty quiet. She closed her eyes again and dozed off, until Henry woke her up, pulling her shirt up on his own and latching onto her breast.

She held him close to her and stretched as she fought to wake herself up. Emma was more exhausted than she actually realized, she succumbed to the pull of sleep again as she lazily patted her sons back. Henry burped and he shoved his pacifier back into his mouth, his head popped up and he looked around the cell.

Blue stars on the wall, a toilet, a desk, a chair, - Ooh! His backpack.

As light as he could, Henry crawled to the edge of the bed near Emma's feet and looked over the edge. Looking everything over twice, Henry finally caved and turned his little body around and shimmed down until the tip of his sock covered toes hit the ground. He let out a little "oomph" as his butt hit the cold ground but he got up anyway and walked to his bag.

Putting it on the floor the baby dumped everything out and plopped down on the floor. Picking up a book, he placed it over his lap and flipped through each page dozens of times.

Regina walked into D block holding food and bottles of water. It was 3 o'clock now and Emma still hadn't made an appearance, she understood being exhausted but the blonde and toddler at least needed to eat, she reasoned.

Walking to the cell door, Regina peered inside and saw Henry sat on the floor with a book open in his lap, sucking on his pacifier and she saw Emma turned over in the bed, her sides rising and falling from sleeping.

Henry looked up and his eyes got big, when did she get there. He inched back and looked to his mama's figure on the bed.

Regina could see the apprehension in the little baby's eyes as he looked over to his young mother. Regina thought about the best way to approach him, she had to get him to trust her at some point. Switching bottles to her other side, Regina brought her fingers up to her lips signing "eat."

Henry's eyebrows shot up and he looked at Regina as she tried to communicate with him. She pointed to him and signed eat again, and Henry nodded his head yes. Regina smiled at the small victory and carefully walked into the room.

Walking over she decided to sit down in the steel chair and looked down at Henry. There was beef flavored bouillon rice and a few pieces of hardtack they managed to find. Regina handed the toddler a cracker and he sniffed it but scrunched up his little nose. So Regina tried the rice, scooping some onto a spoon she blew on it till it was cool and brought the spoon down for Henry to take.

Henry took his pacifier out of his mouth and stretched his neck a bit to reach but wrapped his lips around the spoon. He quickly pulled back and looked down at his book as he chewed the rice, flavor bursted onto his tongue and he looked up at Regina. He closed his book and pushed it to the side, standing up he stepped closer and moved to stand in between her legs.

Henry made the sign for more, but Regina didn't know that one, so he whined and pushed closer opening his mouth. Regina got the hint and scooped a bit more onto the spoon, putting it up to his mouth. He took the second spoon and Regina put the bowl down, reaching down she pulled him up onto her lap, and Henry let her. She grabbed the bowl again and held it in her hand in front of him, Henry patted her hand so she grabbed the spoon and gave him more rice.

That's how Emma found them when she woke up, she reached her hand out but didn't feel Henry's body and immediately shot up. Looking over her shoulder Emma found Henry sitting in Regina's lap, the woman wiping sauce from his mouth. Emma furrowed her eyebrows and then palmed her head, she jumped up too quickly.

"Good Afternoon." Regina turned her attention to Emma.

"Good-...Afternoon? What time is it?" Emma was groggy.

"Almost 4 PM." Regina shrugged.

"Oh god. Henry, I'm so sorry." Emma gasped.

Henry looked up at her from the bowl of rice and smiled, he signed eat and then milk over and over before patting Regina's hand. Emma look confused but then she felt herself up and Regina looked away as she did.

"You had milk?" Emma asked as she felt her breasts didn't feel heavy at all. At Henry's nod, her question was answered.

"Has he ever done that before?" Regina asked realization dawning on her that Henry must've suckled on Emma while she was sleeping.

"I- no. I've never slept that deeply...usually I would wake up or August would wake me when he was ready to eat." Emma laid back, "I guess I was more tired than I realized."

"Well walking for hours in the woods with a child on your back and fighting the undead while doing so will do that to you." Regina chuckled.

Emma put her hands over her face and sighed, before she stretched pointing and flexing her toes. Regina laughed as Emma looked like she was about to fall asleep again.

"You at least need to eat something if you plan to sleep all day, Ms. Swan." Regina teased, the smirk left her lips when Emma looked over at her with sleepy eyes. "I intended to let you rest, I just wanted to make sure you both had eaten. Here."

Regina held out a second bowl and Emma sighed and slowly got up from the bed, walking around the mess Henry made. Shuffling over Emma stood in front of them in the seat, her knees almost touching Regina's. Emma took the bowl and moved the spoon around before she dug in.

Emma's eyes got big and she moaned at the flavor, quickly eating a second scoop.

"What happened to bland noddles?" Emma took the hardtack Regina handed her and took a bite of it.

Not even noticing it, she scooted closer and her knees brushed Regina's. Regina took a small gulp and quickly licked her bottom lip.

"I asked Granny Lucas to switch up the menu a bit today. We lost our game yesterday but it was about time people got some flavor on their taste buds." Regina shrugged and Henry patted her hand for more.

Emma looked guilty and Regina saw what she was about to do, without thinking twice about she reached her palm out and touched Emma's hip.

"No one is blaming you for that Emma. Or your brother. Sometimes...the hunt is just bad. It wasn't your fault. Ok?" Regina squeezed her hip and brought her hand back.

Emma slowly nodded and leaned her thigh against the desk and stepping on the outside of Regina's foot now, they were still slightly touching.

"Have you checked on August?" Emma asked and bit her lip.

"Twice today yes. After my shower I went to see him and Doc informed me that he was sweating out a fever. Then again before I came here, his fever had decreased but still there. He is fighting off the infection." Regina smiled.

Emma nodded again silently but Regina wasn't telling her something. "What aren't you telling me?"

Regina's small smile fell and she at the bowl Emma was holding before she cleared her throat.

"For his safety. And ours...Doc made the decision to handcuff August to the bed-" Regina looked up.

"What?!" Emma stepped back.

"It is simply a precautionary measure, Emma. If August were to turn and Doc not know it. This will keep him safe." Regina reasoned.

Emma sighed and licked her lips, she put the bowl down and went to pick up Henry. With her son on her hip, Emma stepped into her boots.

"Emma w-. Where are you going?" Regina put the other bowl down.

"To see my brother." Emma huffed.

Regina followed after her, and walked with her to the medical wing.

"Emma I-. August asked me to keep you away while this happened." Regina walked faster to keep up.

"Yeah I bet he would say something stupid like that." she rolled her eyes.

"Emma he doesn't look well, he doesn't want you to see him like this. Nor does he want Henry to." Regina reasoned as the got closer.

Emma turned and huffed looking up at her, "Look Henry has seen enough death in his little life than I want to admit, but that is his uncle. He is my brother and I know for whatever stupid reason he would ask you to keep me busy and away, but I can't just do other things while my brother literally lays on a table dying and fighting for his life. People are around him but he is still alone, he is scared and you have him handcuffed to a table, which had most likely scared him more. If he were to die, I would hate myself for not being there for him. For hiding out in another room while he's alone. So I am going in there and I am sitting with him for as long as it takes."

Emma huffed and turned back walking the last few steps and going through the door. Seeing August handcuffed and strapped down to the table, tears started to form in her eyes. Setting Henry down in the chair near by, Emma stepped up to the table and touched her brother's forehead.

He was hot to the touch, and drenched in sweat, panting so far as if he had just run around this whole prison. August opened his slightly and forced a small smile as he saw Emma hovering above him. He leaned into her touched and closed his eyes again.

"Hey, there Duck." August rasped out.

Emma laughed and scuffed, running her hand over his face.

"Hey, there Cricket." Emma sniffed.

Henry was trying to get down from the chair but couldn't manage, he looked over to Regina and reached his arms out to her. Regina took her arms from behind her back and walked over to him, picking him up.

"What're you doing in here?" August gulped.

"If you truly thought I would stay away you're a bigger idiot than I already knew you to be." Emma shook her head.

August chuckled but it came out harsh and he started to shake.

"How bad is the pain? Can't he have anything else?" Emma worried over him and then looked back at Regina.

"I've reached my limit Duck...don't worry...I'm fine." August insisted.

"You are far from fine, Augustus White." Emma tsked.

"Either I'm hallucinating...Or you just sounded exactly our mother dearest." he laughed out.

Emma groaned, she did sound like her mother.

"Shut up." she groaned more.

"Hey, I'm suffering here you can't tell me to shut-" August started to cough harshly.

Regina grabbed a bottle from the counter and handed fo Emma, who quickly opened it and held it to his lips.

"Here. Drink." Emma urged.

August drank when he finally stopped coughing, and took small sips, he sighed and laid back down his head turning to the side. He saw Regina holding Henry.

"My main pal Hal!" August rasped out.

Emma groaned at the nickname but Henry perked in Regina's hold and started bouncing. The thought that that could be one of the last times, August ever called Henry that made her tear up.

August turned to Emma and saw a tear run down her cheek.

"Hey." August got her to look at him. "You came in here to cheer me up right?"

Emma wiped the tear away and grinned, shaking her head yes. "Yeah. I didn't want you to be alone."

"Well it's helping. I feel better already...Maybe a story huh?" August let out a deep breath and swallowed.

Emma and Henry stayed with him until it got dark outside, reading stories from a storybook their mother had read to them when they were little. Mary managed to grab it before the farm burned down.

Regina left the small family, to spend time together. Going about helping with chores and moving boards around the courtyard. Clearing the fence of biters that were snarling at them through the gate.

When it was time for dinner, Regina sat with her father and ate her meal with him. People walked by and greeted them both as they went.

"Are the new members you brought back yesterday alright?" Henry Mills looked up and wiped around his mouth.

"The young man, August, is trying to break a fever and fighting infection. His sister, Emma, and her son are still with him now. I tried to get her to come out but she wouldn't budge." Regina shrugged.

"And her son's name is Henry too you said."

"Yes, he's a sweet child well as far as I've seen."

"Mmm well he must be a handsome little guy too with a name like that." Henry joked.

Regina snickered and rolled her eyes, looking over her father's shoulder, she saw blue eyes starring her way. Regina finished her meal and kissed her father's head. Getting up she took two servings of the rice and beans, Regina made her way to D block.

Ignoring the presence of the blonde woman, Regina kept walking.

"Regina I want to apologize...are you really going to act as if i'm not here?" Mal stepped in front of her.

"I don't really care about your apologies right now Mal. You want to fuck around with other people be my guest. I'm not going to be apart of your little bootycall list." Regina scoffed.

"I don't have a booty call list, Regina. Come on, we established from the beginning that this was just strictly sex."

"Yes and apparently one person isn't enough to keep you satisfied."

"If you wanted to sleep with someone else I wouldn't care Regina."

"I'm not just going to whore myself out like you Mallory." Regina hissed and Mal looked like Regina had just slapped her.

"Oh I'm a whore because you caught feelings." Mallory scoffed.

Regina sighed and shook her head looking down, and licking her bottom.

"No. I shouldn't have said that... I'm sorry. But I just can't have sex with you, knowing that you're with someone else too. You don't have to worry about me or coming to my bed anymore. Good night, Mallory." Regina sighed and stepped to the side, walking away.

Regina walked up to the cell door and tried to mask her face. She wasn't hung up over Mal, she just thought she was enough for someone for a change but she wasn't. Walking around the door and entering the room, Regina saw Henry and Emma sitting on the floor.

They both looked up at her and Henry smiled around his pacifier and yanked it from his mouth. Signing eat and looking back at Emma excitedly, he pointed to Regina. Quickly getting up he patted on the steel chair she was sat on earlier and beckoned her into the room with his tiny little hands.

Henry squealed as she put the bowls down and reached up to her for her to pick him up. Emma was putting away his things and got up from the ground, looking up she saw Henry sitting in Regina's lap, patting her hands gently to grab the spoon.

"Oh Regina. You don't have to feed him, I can-" Emma started.

"I don't mind." Regina looked up and shrugged. "I mean as long as you're alright with it."

"Yeah no." Emma smiled and walked over. "Go ahead. If you truly don't mind."

Emma grabbed her bowl and dug in, Henry was obviously happy as he was humming and patting Regina's hands to a little rhythm. Emma chuckled at him and shook her head.

"He really likes you." Emma commented.

"I hope so. I really like him too. He's a good kid." Regina smiled, "You've done a great job raising him, Emma."

"If I was alone there's no telling where we would be right now." Emma scoffed. "...When I heard on the news that the dead were walking around biting people. I thought this is absolutely crazy. Why would God do this now? Because a few days before that I found out I was pregnant...I managed to make it home to the farm and we held it down for a while. I told everyone that I was pregnant and they were all so happy...While we were there Henry's father, Neal came there looking for me...And things just turned bad and he started a huge fire...We managed to get out but the farm burned down. So we traveled on foot...I gave birth in a pet emergency hospital." Emma laughed.

"For a year, we were fine again...just kept moving never stayed in one place too long...then we ran into this group of bandits, they shot my father first...and then Adam...they were going to hurt me and my mother...but August fought them. He shot two and stabbed one other. My mom got was shot in the chest during all the commotion...but she didn't want to be one of the dead. She said she wanted to go so when she got so bad..." Emma sighed. "They helped me take care of him that first year. If it weren't for them I would probably be a shit mom, if it weren't for August we would be dead by now. I haven't done anything."

"Well that's not true."

She looked up and saw that Regina was watching her, but Emma couldn't decipher the gaze she was giving her.

"That was like completely over sharing, I'm Sorry." Emma shook her head.

"I'm not." Regina shook her head too.

"Umm what about you?... Is your father the only family you have?"

"When everything started it was just my father, my sister, my niece and I. My mother died when I was 18." Regina started.

"I'm sorry."

"Thank you, its fine now its been years...but there is not much to my story. We were with a group at the beginning, a different group but the leader was a psychopath and I couldn't deal with it anymore. So we left but then we were separated after a while, my niece ran off and my sister ran after her there were too many biters and I couldn't follow...and I haven't seen her since." Regina looked up and gave a sad smile.

"...And how did you manage to get all these people and get into a maximum security prison?" Emma asked still astonished by the fact.

"While looking for them, I just came across more and more, we were walking one day and found this place. So we came up with a strategy and cleared these wings and the courtyard out." Regina simply put it. "And on runs and hunts we just came across more and more. Those being you and your brother...and this sweet one."

Regina had fed Henry as the talked and he was leaning on her arm now, falling asleep as Regina rubbed his back.

"Do you think your sister is still alive? Out there somewhere?" Emma put her bowl down.

"I...try to stay hopeful. That she is out there looking for us. Because I am doing the same thing." Regina nodded.

"Here I'll take him." Emma reached out and put Henry over her shoulder. Patting his back she rocked him until she felt and they heard a hearty burp. Emma scrunched her nose and shook her head.

Walking him over to the bed, Emma laid him down gently. She looked back over shoulder and saw Regina cleaning up.

"Umm, so can we try again tomorrow?" Emma asked. "I promise I won't be sleeping in that long, I definitely want to see August a few times throughout my day though."

"Yes how about tomorrow after lunch...that way you can spend the morning with him." Regina offered.

"Yeah that sounds good." Emma smiled.

Regina stood up and they both told each other good night just like the night before. Making her way back to C block, passing a few people as she went, Regina walked into her cell letting the curtain fall back.

Taking everything off and dressing in a big shirt, she tied her hair up and sighed laying back, thinking about Emma and Henry.

They were the something new Regina had been craving for a while. No longer doing the same old routine almost everyday for the last Five months.

No, she was a bit excited about what tomorrow would bring.
