Now that Emma could walk again she was like a child with boundless energy as if regaining the use of her legs had recharged her batteries, even though Regina was glad to see the mega change in Emma she knew she needed to keep a tighter hold on the sheriff's metaphoric leash just so she didn't have any more one sided arguments with cars.
"Emma dear do try and contain your energy."
Emma stopped to look at Regina with her head cocked in what Regina would describe 'adorable confusion.'
"Right at this moment you are acting like a child hyped up on about 6 tablespoons of sugar."
Emma went up to Regina's side.
"I'm sorry I guess that now that I have use of my legs again I want to get as much out of them as I can just in case it's temporary."
Regina placed a gentle arm around Emma's shoulders.
"Emma I can 100% guarantee that it's not temporary the use of your legs is back permanently."
Knowing that Regina wasn't lying laced her fingers in between Regina's as they headed out to Granny's with Henry holding onto Emma's other hand this time there was no accidents but as soon as the 3 of them entered someone spoke loudly.
"Leave now Regina your evil is not wanted here!"
Emma's blood started to boil and her hands slipped out of Regina's and Henry's as she stepped forward her anger was so great that Regina could feel it rolling off the blonde in waves and it was making her feel a little dizzy from the amount of anger Emma was projecting.
"If you have a problem with Regina then you have me to deal with I will not allow you to attack her verbally or physically so don't even think about it, am I clear?"
No one responded making Emma even more angry.
"I SAID AM I CLEAR?" She shouted her voice taking on the sound of thunder.
Regina could sense Emma's anger growing and doing the only thing she could think of grabbed Henry's hand then went forward and grabbed Emma's and teleported them back to her mansion so Emma could calm down when they appeared in the lounge room,
Regina noticed that Emma was shaking from the build up of magic combined with her anger.
Instantly she grabbed Emma's other hand and began to let calming emotions flow through her to Emma, while at the same time siphoned off some of Emma's magic to relieve the magic build up otherwise Emma would get sick from magic poisoning unlike alcohol poisoning, magic poisoning can't cause someone to die it just puts them through hell as their body tries to recover.
Emma's shaking subsided as did her anger and she looked at Regina with a incline of her eyebrow.
"You had a major build up of magic and anger so I sent calming emotions to you while I siphoned some of your magic to stop the build up which stopped you from getting magic poisoning."
"Thank you."
Henry watched his mothers and saw the sparks of a relationship appearing and knew that eventually they would see it too if they hadn't already.
The next day Emma and Regina tried lunch with Henry at Granny's diner again this time there was no words of malice, Emma and Regina both ordered while Henry was making a choice.
Regina had decided to get a hot chocolate without cinnamon and burger with fries much to Emma and Henry's shock, Emma chose her usual toasted cheese sandwich and hot chocolate, Henry had chosen both a burger and toasted cheese sandwich with s milkshake.
When their orders arrived at their booth the hot chocolates were set in the wrong spots, so instead of making a fuss Emma and Regina just switched drinks after they had eaten Henry had polished off his milkshake and was reading one of his comics while Regina and Emma were taking their time drinking their hot chocolates suddenly Emma had a strange feeling wash over her she cleared her throat as she stood up.
"Emma are you ok dear?"
"Uh... Yeah... Just got a little dizzy is all I think I just need some air."
Just as Emma headed for the door she staggered before she hit the ground out cold and unresponsive.
"Emma!" Regina exclaimed as she rushed over to the downed blonde.
While Regina was checking Emma over for any signs of trauma anything to indicate why Emma suddenly collapsed.
"Mom? This looks like a sleeping curse but I don't think Emma was meant to get it I think it was meant for you."
"Then she'll never wake up what with neither Neal now Hook are her true love." Regina said sadly as a tear escaped her eye.
Henry saw this and came up with an idea.
"Mom I think Emma has a true love but I don't think it's a guy so why don't you try kissing her first and we can go from there."
"Henry true loves kiss only works if both parties truly love each other and I don't think Emma loves me at least not like I love her."
"Just give it a try please."
Deciding that proving Henry wrong was easier then trying to convince him by talking she leaned down over the prone sheriff and placed a gentle kiss on Emma's lips, and as she did there was a pulse just like when Henry woke up.
Emma let out a slight moan as she shifted and her eyes opened and she looked straight into Regina's brown orbs.
"What happened?"
"You fell under a sleeping curse and I woke you."
"But I thought that only true loves kiss could break a sleeping curse?"
"It is the only thing."
"Then that means that you love me and I mean truly love me just like I love you."
Now Regina knew why Emma was so comfortable with her around, Emma sat up and kissed Regina with a happy smile.
On their way home they made a stop to see Snow and David Regina explained to David what happened and asked what side effects she should expect, David told her about what he did for Snow and Henry when he found out about the burning room, but he was unsure if Emma would experience it with her being magical as he had a theory that the burning room was only experienced by non magic users as he had found a sorceress that had woken from a sleeping curse and had never experienced the burning room.
Unfortunately David was horribly wrong because that night Regina and Henry were woken by a bone chilling scream and rushed to Emma's room to see the blonde thrashing about without thinking Regina ran to Emma and gently shook her awake with one last scream from Emma and a "no" from Henry, Emma's eyes opened.
