When Emma woke up she found Regina in her arms. They had kept the same position, but Regina was now facing Emma. She could feel her warm breath against her neck. They had slept peacefully for three hours. She didn't dare move and chance waking up the brunette. Regina still had a high fever but it felt like it had dropped a bit.

The blond laid still on the bed for 30 minutes before Regina showed signs of waking up. She was shaking, curling herself as small as possible. She gripped Emma's shirt tightly before she woke up fully and ran to the bathroom.

Emma ran after her, and found the woman emptying her stomachs content down the toilet. She gathered her hair away from her face. They stayed there to wait for it to stop. The weak woman wiped her mouth and leaned into the Savior who was just beside her on the cold floor. She felt awful, not able to do anything, utterly powerless.

"You should clean yourself a bit." Regina was covered on sweat, her clothing soaked.

"I'm too tired, I'll do it in the morning." The Queen's eyes were already starting to close again. Emma took a wash cloth and soaked it. She wiped Regina's face, chest, hands and legs to the knee. The brunette had already fallen back asleep and Emma picked her up and carried her to the king size bed. She snuggled tightly into the bed, very similar to Henry.

She picked her phone and texted Mary Margaret to bring her some supplies.

Regina woke up alone and was feeling terrible. It was 9 am, she hadn't slept this long in months. She had never been a good sleeper. The sun was already up and she should get up too. She didn't want to but she had her duties. As she got up someone opened the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Emma asked as she held a tray

"I'll have to go to work, I have duties to attend to." Her voice was harsh and dry.

"No. You're not. You're still sick and I already called you assistant and told her that you're not able to come in today." Emma put the tray down and gave Regina the thermometer. She didn't argue and just put it in her mouth. Emma tucked her back in and waited the thermometer to be ready.

"It's a bit lower. Still 103 so you'll stay in the bed. But how are you feeling?"

"Awful but I slept well." Regina gave Emma a small smile and reached for the steaming cup but Emma took it before and hold the spoon for Regina.

"I can eat on my own, I'm not a child." She grabbed the hand holding the spoons handle and put it down towards the bowl.

"Please, I would like to take care of you. Plus I don't get to do this very often." Emma gave Regina her sad puppy dog eyes. Regina rolled her own.

"Fine, just this once." Regina put pillows behind her back and leaned to them. Preparing herself to the humiliation. Emma lifted the spoon and Regina ate the spoonful. She ate half of the soup before she asked Emma to put it away.

"Thank you, it was good." Regina hadn't eaten anything more than bread in two days. She felt a bit better. Emma brushed hair away from Regina's face. It was a small gesture but it left both at a loss on how to react.

The moment was interrupted when Regina felt her stomach twist and she ran to the bathroom again. She emptied her stomach, everything she had just eaten was now on the toilet. Emma was there to rub comforting circles on her back. Once again Regina was leaning against Emma on the bathroom floor.

"We'll find something that you can keep dawn." Regina gave her a small nod. She got up and was standing but not on her own feet. Emma was almost holding her in the air, taking all the weight.

"You should freshen up a bit, it can make you feel better." Emma turned on the faucet and the bathtub started to fill.

"How did you get the flu this badly?" Emma quired as she helped the other woman fromsit down.

"I'm not sure, but I think it's because of the curse…"

"Do you mean the curse from the well?" Emma felt guilty, because of her the former Evil Queen wasn't nearly as powerful.

"Maybe we should ask Mr. Gold for some help." Regina shook her head.

"Well I'll leave you here now, yell if you need anything." Emma left the room to make more calls.

Regina felt much better after the bath and walked into her room wrapped in only a towel. She took clothes and chanced. Just as she got a shirt over her head someone opened the door. She pulled it down, but she had a problem with it and it showed her stomach when she looked at the blond.

"Please knock before you enter!" Regina yelled her heart reaching.

"Sorry I didn't thought of it, and why wouldn't you let me see that beautiful body." Emma joked but didn't get a good response from the woman who just frowned and pulled her shirt down all the way. Emma mentally smacked herself. What had she just done!? Did she really just throw a flirtatious comment at Regina?

Emma saw a pink shade took over Regina's cheeks.

"Anyways I brought Mr. Gold to find what's wrong with you." Emma waived to the hallway and Gold entered the room.

"Oh no you didn't. Emma I said no!"

"Oh but she did dearie." Gold interrupted the two women. "Now tell me what's wrong."

Before answering to Gold, Regina looked at Emma. "Would you please excuse us Ms. Swan." Emma didn't say anything and leaved the room closing the door behind her.

She knew she shouldn't stay and listen to their conversation, but she didn't want to lose the opportunity.

First she didn't hear anything but after listening hard as Regina told Gold about her symptoms; fever, puking, sleepiness, and then she revealed she had nightmares. She could hear Regina's voice trembling. She wondered why Regina shared this with Gold. But she got the feeling that Rumple knew her history so well enough that it was nothing new to him.

She started to tell about her nightmares one by one. More that Emma heard more she felt sad for Regina. How could someone stand something like that. It scared Emma to only listen to these things and it made a tear run down her cheek.

"I give you this potion, it should heal you, but it may make you feel worse and make you even more ill. But if your body stands it, this should help in day or two." Emma didn't hear a response from the brunette and she deemed that she accepted it.

"So what's the price. With you everything comes with a price." Regina's steady voice asked.

"This will do." Rumple took a small bottle and bottled one of the silent tears that Regina almost swiped away.

Emma didn't know what the price was, but when she heard Mr. Gold to get up she ran downstairs, like she hadn't been there. And when Gold got down she came to ask him.

"So is she going to be okay?" Emma sounded worried even that she had heard the conversation.

"Yes, it's going to be hard after all she absorbed a deadly curse. It wouldn't be a surprise if she had died. And I know you heard the conversation Ms. Swan." Rumple didn't bother biding her goodbye or goodbye when he left Emma there to think how he could have known. She shook her head and decided that it wasn't important and got back to Regina who was sitting on the bed holding a small blue bottle in her hands.

"So is everything okay? What did he said?" Regina looked at Emma and tried to smile.

"It's going to be okay. I'll just take this." Regina showed the bottle.

"So why are you sad then?" Emma knelet front of Regina and looked into her eyes.

"No... It's nothing that concerns you."

"I still want to help you, so tell me." Emma wanted to tell Regina that she understood her and after all she had heard she wanted to be there for her now more than ever. But how could she tell her that she had been eavesdropping. Now wasn't the best time for that.

Regina knew that if she would take the potion, her nightmares would come more realistic and she could feel even worse. She didn't want to be seen when she was at her worse. But she was scared of being alone. She wanted to make Emma leave, but she felt like she would need her. No that's ridiculous she's a strong woman she didn't need anyone. But still she needed Emma.

"So let's take that potion and get better alright?" Emma put her hand over Regina's and squeezed. The brunette popped the cork open and drank it down in a one go. It tasted bitter. Emma tugged her to the bed. After all that she had heard, Emma was sure she was going to stay and take care of the brunet.

"So now you rest."

"Emma I have slept enough for the day, maybe I could do something else?" Regina pleaded, she really didn't want to sleep, not now.

"Maybe we could watch a movie?" Emma suggested "I got a tablet with me. What do you want to watch?"

"Sounds good, you can pick something." Emma nodded and went to get her tablet that Mary Margaret had brought her earlier. She got back searching something to watch. When she got next to the mayor she found what she had been looking for.

"Zombieland, it always makes me laugh." Emma settles on the bed finding a good position side by side with Regina. She laid the tablet against her legs so they both saw the screen. After a while Regina was resting her head on Emma's shoulder. They both laughed at the movie and as it kept going sleepiness took over Regina and Emma.

'It wasn't even late. Regina was affected by the potion and Emma had slept only few hours last night. Before Emma fell asleep she kissed Regina's forehead like it was the most natural thing to do.

So how did you like it? Let me know and share your opinion. I love all you guys!
