Chapter 3

Regina's eyes fluttered open as she felt the small kiss on her thigh, where was she? Her brown eyes scanned the room before they locked onto blonde curls, her eyes started to water and she swallowed thickly as those green eyes met hers in a fearful stare.

"Emma?" Regina whispered in a hoarse voice.

Emma swallowed thickly and smiled shyly, "Hi" the blonde breathed. "How you feeling?"

"I...I" Regina scanned the room again before she met Emma's eyes again, "Why are you here?"

"Well.. Henry called-" the blonde got cut off as Regina panicked.

"Henry?! He's here?" Her breaths sped up as her eyes searched the room for Henry.

Emma laid a hand on Regina's shoulder, "Regina, calm down"

Regina let out a soft sob and her warm tears started to fall.

The blonde reached up and brushed a lock of brown hair out of Regina's flushed face, "Shh, it's ok. He's gonna be ok and so are you"

Regina stared at Emma and her eyebrows furrowed as she spoke, "Why are you-" Regina's muscles relaxed as she fell unconscious.

"Don't worry Regina I've got you." She caressed Regina's cheek with her index finger and she lifted the brunette before walking into the master bedroom. "Henry" she whispered.

Henry groaned, "no don't wanna go to school"

Emma shook her head and readjusted her grip on Regina, "Henry get up and come downstairs"

Henry's eyes fluttered open and he realized where he was, "Emma?"

Emma nodded and tilted her head so he would know to follow her. She carefully made her way down the stairs and laid Regina down on the couch.

Henry sat on the arm chair beside his adoptive mother and he watched as Emma grabbed another first aid kit. The blonde wiped down his face and he flinched when the alcohol stung his wound.

Emma used a butterfly stitch to close up his wound and she smiled as she completed, "All done"

Henry smiled and nodded, "Can I go to bed? Or do I have to go to the hospital?"

Emma bit the corner of her bottom lip as she thought, "How many steps were left before you fell down?"

Henry bit the inside of his cheek as he thought, "Um three?" He nodded in confirmation, "Yeah it was three"

Emma glanced over at Regina and she sighed, pulling out her phone she dialed her roommates number.

"Emma?" A sleepy voice questioned.

"Mary Margaret, I know it's late but I really need a favor."

"Um sure, what is it?"

"I need you to take Henry to the hospital for me"

Mary Margaret got out of her old squeaky bed and got dressed with Emma still on the phone, "Ok where are you?"

"I'll be waiting outside Regina's house with him"

Mary Margaret nodded and then remembered that Emma couldn't see her, "Ok Emma I'm on my way"

'Thanks"

Emma sighed as she hung up the phone, "Come on kid we need to wait outside for Mary Margaret"

Henry nodded and made his way outside, they watched as Mary Margaret walked up and Emma gave the short haired brunette the keys to her bug. "Here, take the bug."

Mary Margaret took the keys and she nodded, she wanted to ask questions but decided not to after seeing the look on Emma's face. The teacher made sure Henry was in the car safely before she started the ignition, "I'll call you with news ok?"

Emma nodded and she flinched as she heard a glass shattering scream come from inside the house, "Go! I'll talk to you later, thanks for this"

Mary Margaret nodded jerkily and she drove off, leaving Emma to run back up the walkway.
