TW: Self-harm

It was 12:28 AM when Emma got out of bed. She walked out to check on the girls, Christine, Brook, and Hazel were sound asleep wish she could do the same for herself. Learning that Killian is back in Storybrooke scared her all these years she thought she finally got away from his torment, yet here he is trying to ruin her life again.

After coming back from the Underworld Killian wasn't the same. He was a lot ruder, when has he ever nice, he seemed to not have the patience for anything anymore. He ordered Emma to stop showing up for work if she wanted to keep him around. The first time Killian raped her it only got worse. He found other ways to abuse her he would cut her and burn her. There was a day where Killian came home very drunk those were the days Emma hated.

"Why th fuk isn't dinner….ready yet!?" Killian yelled

"We don't have food. You won't let me go to the store. So there is no dinner." Emma said

"Don't back talk me, woman!" Killian yelled hitting Emma across the face with his hook.

He enjoyed that a lot using his hook to hurt Emma. His hook cut her face blood was dripping down the side of Emma's right eye. Killian was very piss drunk that he started to unbuckle his belt seeing this Emma ran, which was a bad idea, he cornered her and pushed her on the bed she did whatever she could do to try to fight him off but it wasn't working. She knew if she used magic on him he would only be more aggressive.

Remembering that day was terrible, Emma had developed anxiety ever since coming out of that situation. She's always had it but it didn't bother her as much now it ruins her whole life there are times where she never wants to leave the bed. Her hands were shaking while her breathing has become labored she was having a panic attack. She grabbed her pocket knife she kept in her pocket she opened it sliding the blade across her left wrist. Watching the blood drip down she hadn't realized she was crying until Regina came downstairs looking for her.

"Baby what did you do? C'mon we need to get you cleaned up." Regina said picking up the blond taking her to the bathroom.

Regina knew she could just use magic to fix this but part of her thinks that if she physically cleaning it this will help Emma out. They were silent the whole time so Regina decided to break the silence.

"Em, what's wrong?" Regina asked

"I broke….I hadn't cut myself in years…..I feel so useless. This is all my fault." Emma said

"Hey, you didn't ask to be abused you didn't ask to abandoned. We all have our faults but this one is not yours. We'll get through this together." Regina said

"Thanks….Gina. You always know how to make me feel better." Emma smiled

"I'm your wife it's my job. What else is bothering you?" Regina asked

"I just….feel like I failed the kids. We should've killed him when we had the chance." Emma said

"I didn't want that on your hands. You're pure of heart you have so much good in your heart I didn't want it to start to darken. Let me handle that type of stuff you're light and I'm dark okay yin and yang." Regina said

"Heh and you say I'm the nerd." Emma giggled

"Baby, you have an Erza body pillow," Regina said

"Okay, I'm a geek. At least my hobby doesn't hurt people which remind me I need you to start watching anime." Emma grinned

"You always find a way to drag me into whatever universe you're into. I already started watching Game of Thrones, Grimm, Orange is The New Black, Carmilla, Glee and now you have me watching this kid's show Steven Universe. What more can you possibly drag me into." Regina joked

"First of all Steven Universe is a family show. Second, of all, I'm Emma Swan-Mills you will do anything I ask as long as you find it legal and not morally wrong." Emma said

"One of these days you're going to regret that statement!" Regina said

"Ooh, I'm so scared. What don't you start showing off that Evil Queen that would be really hot." Emma said seductively.

"You'd like that wouldn't you?" Regina asked pulling Emma in closer to her closing the gap with her lips.

"Mommy, mama…."

"Hazel, baby what are you doing up this early?" Emma asked

"I had a nightmare….and I fell out of bed. Can I sleep you?" Hazel asked

"Yes, my little princess you can sleep with us," Regina said picking up their scared daughter. She had finished patching Emma's arm up and Hazel didn't even realize what was happening which was good, that would've been really weird to explain to a three-year-old, self-harming wasn't something they wanted to talk to their girls about yet or at least not with Brook and Hazel.

"What was the nightmare about?" Emma asked

"T-The bad man that hurt Brooke…." Hazel sniffed

"We'll get him I promise," Regina said

"When?"

"We can't answer that because we don't know. Just know that we will." Emma said

"Okay….I sleepy…." Hazel said as she fell asleep on Regina's shoulder.

It has been a while since Hazel had a nightmare where she fell asleep with her parents. She normally falls asleep in Christine's room because she was afraid she'd wake up her parents and she wanted to get a good night's rest to play with her tomorrow. Now, with Brook being mad at them for not always including her in things puts her in a position she didn't understand. She loves all her siblings but being the youngest it was always easier for her to hang out with Henry and Christine because they can hear her. There are words she still doesn't understand or know how to spell so communicating with Brook was hard for her. The sudden cold shoulder made Hazel feel bad. She's only three, after all, she didn't understand anything yet. The next morning was even weirder for the family.

"Mom, I need you to meet someone," Christine said

"Whoever it is it can wait. I'm trying to figure out a spell to give Brook her hearing." Regina said

"You see it's not that simple. They really want to meet you and it cannot wait." Christine said

"Who in their right mind in this town want to meet me? I'm still seen as The Evil Queen." Regina asked

"That's the tricky part you have to meet them first," Christine said

"Fine, you can bring them to dinner," Regina said

"Thank you! You won't regret this I promise." Christine said

"I hope not."

When it came time for dinner Christine was very nervous to she wanted this to be a great first impression the doorbell rang alerting the family that their guest has arrived. Brook still did not leave her room, Emma had brought up a plate for her. Taking a deep breath Christine introduced her friend to her parents.

"Mom, mama this is Felicia, my girlfriend," Christine said

"Hi, I'm Felicia Winter," Felicia said

"Why are we just now hearing about this relationship? You have nothing to fear from us, baby. Why'd you keep it from us so long?" Regina asked

"I did it out of respect for Felicia," Christine explained

"I asked Christine not to tell anyone about our relationship because I was trying to keep a low profile. You might have known me better as Frederick Clark." Felicia said

"I didn't tell you about her because she was going through the transition of become female. It was strange for me and I didn't want to put added stress on her while I figured out how I felt about learning about this too. All I know is I really love her I loved her when she was Frederick and I still love her as Felicia. Don't be mad at me for keeping this from you." Christine said

"We're not Chrisy. We're proud of you. Come sit we have a lot to talk about." Emma said

"I really hope I make a good impression." Felicia joked

Elsewhere Killian was watching the family from a distance. Seeing that Christine had a girlfriend was promising to him. What better way to fuck with someone than with the person they care about the most. When Felicia was heading back home she was texting Christine that she had a nice time at dinner sending the text Christine called her.

"You know I can still text you," Felicia said

"Yeah I know but I want to hear your voice. Besides, texting and walking aren't the best ideas even if it's a small town." Christine said

"You think I made a good impression?" Felicia asked

"Baby you did fine. My parents love you and their going to keep loving you. You're my true love okay. Don't forget that I haven't felt the way I have with you with any girl or guy I've ever dated. You're one of a kind Miss Winter." Christine said

"You don't think the last name change was cheesy, do you?" Felicia asked

"No, it feels you, baby. What do you want to do tomorrow though?" Christine asked

"Hmmm, why don't you pick. We can always….hey get off of me! Let me go! Let me go! Help!" Felicia screamed dropping her phone.

"Felicia!? Who ever you are you bring her back! Or you'll regret it!" Christine yelled

"Aye….I think you'll be the one regretting it. Hope you have a plan on saving your girlfriend. I'd hate for her to get the same treatment as your retarded sister." Killian mocked

"First of all, Brook is deaf not retarded. Secondly, I will find you and you will regret it. You think you have to fear my mother I am twice as worse. You hurt her I will kill you. You touch her I will kill you, either way, I'll get your head on a pike!" Christine growled

"I look forward to it," Killian said hanging up the phone. Christine glared at her phone throwing it against the wall.

"Dammit! Arrrrrrgh….Dammit….dammit…..dammit!" Christine yelled causing Emma and Regina to come running into her room.

"Christine, what's wrong why are you screaming?" Emma asked

"He took her," Christine said

"Who took her?" Regina asked

"Killian just kidnapped Felicia….I was on the phone with her when it happened. This is so messed up right now." Christine said collapsing on the floor as tears slide down her face.

"This has gone way too far now," Emma said

"I know….but where do we even start?" Regina asked

"I don't know…."

Watching Christine crumble like this was heartbreaking they just met Felicia and she was such a pleasure to have at dinner. Emma and Regina would see how much they cared for each other. This feud Killian has against Emma was getting out of hand now her kids have to pay the price of that.

'Felicia….please stay strong I will find you. I promise I will find you.' Christine thought
