After Regina had managed to calm Emma down she slipped into bed with her and held her soon sleep overtook Regina and when she woke up the next day she saw Emma still awake and dark circles under her eyes she placed her hand gently on Emma's right arm causing Emma to let out a yelp.

"Emma what's wrong?"

"My arm hurts a bit."

Regina looked at her arm and saw a burn much like the one Henry had gotten from the burning room and realised that her waking Emma up had caused Emma to get burnt.

"Emma I am so sorry it's because I woke you last night."

"It's okay Regina I don't blame you, you only wanted to help me."

Regina was amazed at how different from her parents Emma truly was, for where Snow and David would have blamed her Emma understood.

Regina put a salve that she kept for burns because when she was learning how to cook after she had adopted Henry she got plenty of them she applied it to the burn on Emma's arm which instantly soothed and cooled the angry flesh, for extra measure Regina blew on the burn.

"Thanks Gina."

"Gina?"

"Yeah it's a nick name like mine is either Em, Ems or Emmy, yours is Gina because if I used the r and e instead of starting with the g I would come up with a guys name like Reg or Reggie. I like Gina better."

"So do I sweetheart."

Regina placed a gentle kiss on Emma's head.

"Why don't you try and sleep again?"

"No I don't want to go back in that room."

Regina got up and went into her study she got a candle and came back into Emma's room and placed it on the bedside table then she lit it.

"What's the candle for?"

"David told me about how when Snow would end up in the burning room he'd light a candle to help her I don't know how it works exactly but somehow it stops you being scared or something. Why don't we give it a try hm?"

"Ok."

Emma went back to sleep after Regina had stroked her back when Regina was sure that Emma was asleep she went back to her own room to get dressed. Then she went down and started to get breakfast ready suddenly she heard the sound of Henry bounding down the stairs and he entered the kitchen.

"Morning mom."

"Morning my little prince."

"You haven't called me that in a long time."

Then Henry looked around and noticed Emma's absence.

"Where's Ma?"

"Hmm... I guess she's still asleep. Why don't you go see if she's waking up yet?"

"Ok."

Henry turned and ran back up stairs taking them two at a time then ran down the hallway to Emma's room and opened the door to see Emma already up and pulling on her boots and red leather jacket.

"Ma?"

Emma turned her head to the door.

"Hey kid what's up?"

"Mom's cooking breakfast."

"Ok tell her I'll be down in a minute."

"Sure thing."

About two minutes later Emma arrived in the kitchen.

"Emma did the candle work?"

"Yeah it did thank you."

Regina placed a plate of bacon and eggs on the table for Emma, who practically inhaled the plates entire contents.

"Would you like some more Emma?"

"Thanks I feel like I haven't eaten in days."

"It's one of the side effects of the sleeping curse just like the burning room is a side effect, fortunately the hunger can be cured by having a big breakfast which is what you're getting today."

Emma smiled at Regina as her plate was filled again and once again Emma practically inhaled it, after her fourth serve Emma was finally full.
