At the thought of Regina running out of time she flew back to the apartment in record time.
She walked in to see Regina once again wrapped in the blanket, with Henry sitting at the kitchen island with David looking terrified.
MM looked up when Emma opened the door.
"She will be safe here Emma, don't worry. She will take my bed of course and I will take the couch or go upstairs." She nodded to the stairwell. Emma could tell MM was only slightly masking her panic at the injuries the older woman had taken on.
"Will she be alright?" Emma whispered.
MM glanced over her shoulder, "I hope so"
"Could you guys give us a sec?" She glanced at the three eyes around the room. David and MM nodded and ushered Henry back upstairs. Emma was glad to see the clothes from her drawer that Henry had brought down for his mom.
Regina's breaths sounded broken.
"Hey," Emma knelt on the ground beside her she softened her tone when she saw Regina's eyes attempt to shrink back.
"I am going to move you, can you hold on to my neck?" Regina averted her eyes and nodded.
Emma had no idea how this woman had remained conscious.
Emma picked her up, slid her down in the covers, and slowly started to peel back her shirt.
She didn't look like she had internal bleeding but Emma wasn't a doctor.
"How bad is the pain?" She lightly touched it when Regina whimpered.
"Bad…" Regina let out in a burst of air.
Emma memorized how her body looked and lowered her shirt gently.
Then searching for her eyes, "you didn't deserve this." Emma sounded suddenly passionately angry.
Regina jump a bit at her tone.
Emma blinked rapidly, swearing at herself, "Fuck, I'm sorry."
Regina swallowed, "That's quite alright dear….I guess you did save my life…why did you do that?"
Her eyes looked pained. She expected some answer along the lines of Regina needed to be alive to pay for her crimes.
Emma smiled and shook her head, "You my son's mother. Like I was going to let you die…"
Regina's couldn't see through her eyes anymore, there were too many tears.
"No…not anymore…" Her lip quivered her hand moved up to stifle a sob.
Emma gently scooted her up and moved behind her, now holding her protectively in her arms.
"Shhh, I'm sorry ok? I am so sorry."
