Emma emerged from the bathroom and saw no Regina in the bed.
Panic.
"Regina? Regina!" She sprinted out the door to see the woman sitting on the stairs, head against the rail.
She looked around for any sign of why Regina had left the room.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
She moved in front of Regina and stooped to her level.
Eyes still squeezed shut in pain, "trying to go home…like I was trying to do last night before…"
Emma noticed the shiver, Regina was trying to act like it didn't bother her, but she could tell the woman was still scared, though she would never admit it.
"Well I don't think that is a good idea…"
Regina tried with all her might to push past her. Losing her balance and steadying herself on Emma.
"Ok there super girl. I will get you home, ok? Just let me grab some things."
Emma dashed into the apartment and grabbed some clothes.
Regina watched as she heard voices approaching, the happy laughter of her son. He glanced up and met her eyes, "Mom what are you doing out here…?" Regina could see how his face searched hers for a hint of something that was not the truth.
"Miss Swan is taking me home." She said matter of factly as she tried to sit up a little straighter.
Henry looked confused but quickly pushed it aside.
"Let me go pack, be right back."
Emma saw Henry run past her but figured she would call the kid and explain later. She walked out in the hall to see her parents standing over Regina.
"Woah guys you're going to give her a panic attack let her breathe."
David reached down and picked her up, to the brunette's surprise.
David placed her in the car and Emma drove to the manor.
She set Regina down so she could open the door.
Regina limped inside, "Thank you dear, I can take it from here…"
Emma rolled her eyes. "No, no you won't. I am taking care of you until you are better. You're stuck with me. Here or at the apartment it doesn't matter, your choice. Who will protect you if I'm not here?"
The question went unanswered as they both new Regina wouldn't last a night alone right now.
