Chapter 2

Henry laid on his stomach in his bed and stared at his bedroom door, Regina's shadow casted under the wood and alerted him of her presence. His hazel eyes watched as the shadow disappeared and he let out a breath of relief.

He grabbed his comic book from his nightstand and used his flashlight to light up to pages. He furrowed his eyebrows as he heard a cry of pain come from across the hall, and then another.

On shaky legs he got up out of his bed and slowly opened his door. He walked across the hall in his pajamas and he gently knocked on his adoptive mother's door. "Mom?" His small and shaky voice went unanswered and his palms started sweating profusely as he reached for the door knob. "Mom if you don't answer I'm coming in"

The small brunette slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open, his face went pale and he fell on his knees before he crawled over. "Mom?!" He shook her body as panic filled his small body and steady tears fell down his flushed cheeks.

Henry got up and he ran down the stairs, he tripped on his mother's high heel and fell face first down the last three steps, "Ouch!" He cried out in pain and his forehead started to bleed immediately, the red crimson liquid met salty tears as he reached for the home phone.

His small fingers dialed Emma's number and he sat down against the wall as he waited for her to pick up.

Emma slowly fluttered her eyes open and she reached blindly for her cellphone. Her voice croaked sleepily as she answered the phone, "Hello?" The blonde slurred.

"Emma?" Henry's panicked and shaking voice filled her ears.

"Henry? What's wrong?" She questioned immediately getting up to put on some pants and her boots.

"You have to come quick! Please."

"Are you at your mother's?" She asked trying to keep calm.

"Yes I-.." Henry's voice trailed off into a small slur and she heard the phone hit the floor.

"Henry?!" Emma's heart rate sped up as she ran out of Mary Margaret's apartment and into the quiet streets of storybrooke, she kept Henry on the line as she started up her bug. "Ok Henry, you have to stay with me" she begged, "I can't lose you again"

Speeding off the yellow bug made it's way to the mansion, arriving in barely five minutes. The blonde didn't even close the door to her bug as she sprinted up the walkway.

The blonde opened up the surprisingly unlocked door and she scanned the foyer with her green and scared eyes. They landed on the small boy in the corner and she ran over to him. "Henry?" She studied the bruising and the large cut that filled most of his forehead.

Emma turned her head and she glanced up the stairs, was Regina hurt as well? She bit her lip before she turned back to her son. "Don't worry Henry, everything will be ok" she spoke shakily as she wiped his wet bangs off of his forehead and she ran up the stairs to check on Regina.

The blonde's body lost all color as she turned white as a ghost. "Regina" she whispered, the brunette woman's lower body laid in a small puddle of blood. Emma walked forward and lifted Regina's body bridal style, she carried her to the master bathroom and laid her in the tub before she ran back downstairs to check on Henry.

Henry fluttered his eyes open as he heard Emma's boots hit the steps loudly, "careful, Emma, mom's heels are on the stairs" he joked drowsily. "Talk about irony"

Emma smiled softly at her son's attempt to lighten the situation. She crouched in front of him and sighed. "Your mother is seriously hurt kid, but so are you." The blonde but her bottom lip as she thought. "I can stitch both of you up for now but I'm taking you to the hospital to make sure nothing is out of order in that smart head of yours ok?"

Henry nodded and he used the table beside him to get up, they both made their way to the master bedroom, and Henry sat down on the edge of his mother's bed before he stared up at Emma, "Stitch her up first," he glanced down at the puddle of blood and swallowed. "She needs it more"

Emma nodded as his hazel eyes begged, "Ok Henry, I'll… I'll help her ok?"

Henry nodded and he watched as Emma made her way to the bathroom before he laid his aching head on the bed.

Emma lifted Regina out of the tub and winced at the amount of blood that laid in the bottom of the white and pristine porcelain. She gently sat Regina down onto the countertop so the brunette's almost bare back leaning against the cold mirror.

The blonde searched through the drawers and let out a breath of relief when she found a first aid kit, "Ok Regina stay strong," her voice wavered as she whispered. "You're one of the strongest women I have ever met, and if you can't make it through this…" she took a deep breath as she threaded the stitching needle. "There's no hope for me if you can't make it through this." She wiped down the older woman's thigh with disinfectant and she sanitized her needle before she started to stitch the deep wounds.

Thirty minutes passed before the blonde finished closing up the wounds and the bleeding stopped. She wiped her forehead in relief, the thick red liquid coated her pale skin but she didn't notice. She washed her hands in the sink beside Regina before she wrapped gauze around the older woman's thigh. After she finished taping it securely she let out a breath and cried out in relief, overcome with emotions she kissed Regina's bandaged thigh before her eyes popped open in fear.

Please still be unconscious, please still be unconscious,

Emma slowly looked up and she swallowed thickly, her body shook as wet and miserable chocolate eyes stared into her fearful forest green.
