Sisterly bonding
Together Zelena and Regina magically got both Emma and Henry home to her place. Regina told Red get there to keep and eye on Henry as the two tried to patch Emma back in her bedroom. Regina didn't speak or take her eyes of her son before Ruby Red was there. Then she gave her the message to never let him slip out of her sight, before she walked up to the bedroom where Zelena was watching over Emma. She didn't move at all, but her pulse was at least there, slow and steady.

"What are you thinking?" Regina wondered, sleeping curse of some sort was the first thing that came to mind. That however needed an elixir and so that was out of the question. Unless it of course was a sleeping spell which only needed a silent incarnation and a few hand moments. She had considered to use that on Henry as a baby as a last resort, but she had never did it. He usually fell asleep when she rocked him or told him fairytales.

"Stunning charm, mixed with something," said Zelena, feeling her limbs gently, they were completely relaxed as she was sleeping, rather than completely stiff.

"Why did you even teach him this?" Regina said frustrated.

"Hey, he asked to learn, and so I did. I told him about actions of consequences, that magic comes with a price," said she honestly.

"But you must have known on who he was going to use on , or told him to use his anger as a trigger," Regina looked at her sister.

"I did the last, but not the first if you much first, if you must know. I am as shocked as you Regina, I didn't want this. I may have used to but…" She took a deep breath.

"The question now is how do we cure it and how do we reprimand him for his actions?" Regina wondered, she could not let Emma die. She had already lost one great love, she could not handle losing two.

Zelena sighed saying, "I am thinking something harmless as a sleeping spell or a something like it, she seem so at peace," Zelena said, adding, "As for punishment I think that should be up to you as you are his mother."

"I agree with you on terms of punishment, I just wish I knew what magic he used on her," said Regina stroking Emma's pale cheek.

"He must have used some of what I taught him, unless he used the magic book, is that where you put it last?"

Regina poofed down to find her book looked up and untouched before she poofed back up, saying, "Yes, untouched. You know right now I wish that mother was still alive so that she could share some light over the situation. This is so her field."

"How was she as a witch?" Zelena wondered, as after all she had never met her.

"Horrifying, you are a kitten compared to her, she would have been proud I am sure," said Regina, giving her a small smile.

"Maybe, maybe we can summon her?" the other witch suggested.

"Nothing good ever game from awakening the dead, I learned that the hard way," said Regina with a very heavy sigh.

"Well it is either doing that and hope she can help or Rumple," said Zelena honestly.

"I go for mother, can you get me a small animal or a bird we can sacrifice?" Regina wondered. Zelena nodded and left as Regina drove a five edged star on the floor of her room. She took a deep breath as she found a small plate and a candle. She lit the candle just as Zelena came back with a small dove. Regina took a deep breath, as she got in the middle of the circle. She had even made sure to add symbols around it. She looked at Zelena saying, "I need your heart."

"As long as I get it back," Zelena said, rolling her eyes. The brunette nodded as she took it out and placed it on a plate in one of the fiver corners, she did the same with her own, the magic book was placed in the third, the pendant belonging to her mother in the forth and she cut a lock of Zelena's red hair and put on the sixth. She smiled pleased. Then she took the small dove from her sister's palm and let a needle spear it. She held it over the light and let it drip, mumbling an incarnation in elfish, before she let the instant drip over the lights and it sparkled. A deep breath as she told herself to focus, saying, "Mother I need you to take this sacrifice, I need you to appear as we need you."

"Say it with me," Regina said, looking at her sister.

"Cora we summon the," said Zelena seeing the flame on the candle flicker, that was all though, nothing more happened.

Regina let out a huff saying, "I guess it was a long shot to hope that it would even work."

Slowly she blew out the candle and then took her heart and put down into her chest. She walked to give Zelena's heart. She had no idea how to solve it anymore. It was then Zelena got an idea and said, "I know how we can think better."

"How?" the younger woman was still frustrated.

"Music, let us put on some music and it will come to us," she looked at Regina's nightstand, a radio alarm. The brunette shook her head figuring it couldn't hurt. She stroked Emma's cheek as Zelena flipped through the channels, landing on an upbeat song saying, "Dance with me, you need to loosen up."

"Don't be silly, I am not going to…" Regina shook her head. She planted a kiss on Emma's forehead. Zelena nodded and danced as she sang, "I'm all about the bass, about the bass, all about the bass, no trouble."

"My sister is crazy, you know that?" Regina said, she couldn't help but to smile of the dancing woman. It even looked like fun, maybe Zelena was right, she needed to loosen up more. Oh hell Emma wasn't going anywhere and before she knew it she was dancing and singing along with her sister.

To occupied with their singing and dancing the two didn't noticed the female shadow next to the bed. Cora sat down and carefully stroked over Emma's forehead. She was cold sweating. Then her eyes went to her daughters, if she hadn't known better she would say they were teenagers, not adults. They were even happy together. She never thought she would see that day, then again she never did when she was alive.

"And here I thought you needed my help," her voice broke through, making both freeze and turn towards the bed.

"Mommy, you are here," Regina's eyes widened as she turned to look at her.

"You both called for me, it would be highly impolite to decline," said the older woman, adding, "So what is the trouble?"

"Henry attacked her with magic and we need to find what kind to cure her, can you help?" Regina wondered, looking at her with questioning eyes.

"Young Henry, who trained him?" Cora wondered, she would never thought Regina would taught her son magic, she had after all tried hard to not use magic in the past.

"I did," Zelena stepped forward, looking at the elderly lady, so that was her mother.

"I see," Cora let her hand go over Emma's body all the way down and up and again very slowly. Tracing for magic on its way. She looked at the two girls with calm eyes saying, "Zelena you trained your student well. This however, these spells will wear off in time, a couple of days at most. She will have nod after effects of them. This time he was lucky he did not hit her heart. She needs rest for a bit of time to be on the safe side. This was merely a strong stunning spell, mixed with one of penalization and a sleep spell."

"Thank you," said Regina and almost hugged her.

"You are welcome, may I suggest binding his powers for some time?" Cora said and gave her a soft and genuine smile.

"We will consider it," said Zelena with a nod.

"Alright, I will be on my way then, I was wrong, you both made me proud," she said with another smile, with that she was gone.

Regina wondered if she had even been there, she was just happy that Emma would be alright. She planted a kiss to her cheek as Zelena asked, "So how do we punish him."

"Maybe mother is right that we should bind his powers for now, he is at least grounded until the next century," said Regina with a heavy sigh.

"I won't stay in contact with him for some time if that helps," said Zelena, knowing she was going to miss him.

"That would…help until I figure this out, I need to rest before I talk to him," said Regina with a heavy sigh, tiredly curling up next to Emma.

Zelena looked over her younger sister for some time, before she poofed back home.

Meanwhile Ruby Red was downstairs with Henry. He was sitting on the couch and she was standing behind him. She said, "You know you acted wrong, right?"

"I didn't know I was, I was upset she had taken me away from our home, from my friends, I liked New York and our life there. I didn't get it until it was too late," he said frustrated, adding, "You'll probably never get what it is like, having her abandon you as a kid then she supposedly raised you due to fake memory. Having the mother that raised you send you away and then abandon you. Whatever their reasoning it was all wrong."

"You don't think I know what it is like to grow up without a mother, oh kid you are wrong. Granny raised my whole life, my mom left to be with the other werewolves, because she wanted to be free," said Red with a heavy sigh. That fact hurt quite a deal.

"So you are saying what they did was right, twisting my memories like that?" he wondered.

"No I am saying you should try to see this from their point of view, because it has been hard on them as well. I doubt you have any idea how hard it was for Regina to let Emma and your mother go. She might not have known it at the time, but I think she loved Emma greatly," said with a heavy sigh.

"But when she did it, she never expected to see me again, I am her son, do you even find it right?" he asked her.

"I never said I found it right, Henry, but she did it because she felt she had no other choice. She wanted to make up all that she did and turn it right," said Red with a heavy sigh.

"I need to get away, only for a night to think. I am sure Emma needs rest in any case, can you please take me somewhere?" he wondered.

"I am not sure that would…" she started, she was sure Regina would not approve of that. Henry looked at her with pleading eyes saying, "Please Red, it is only for one night and you would never let me out of yours sight."

"Alright, but when morning rises I am bringing you back," she said, finding a note to tell Regina where they would be in case she would wake. Then she took him outside to her car and drove home to her small apartment.

Feedback always welcome and very much appreciated :o)
