TW: description of child abuse, don't read section in bold if not for you.

When the kids show was finished Regina ordered Henry upstairs to his bathroom to shower, and Emma to her bedroom to take a bath.

Regina didn't want to leave Emma alone even for a minute, but she justified wanting to help Emma with she needs to keep her stitches dry.

Regina hears Henry's shower going and see Emma sitting at the top of the stairs, "Em, what are you doing sitting here?"

Emma blushes and said, "I didn't know which one was yours and Henry said I could wait in his room and play with his legos while I wait for you, but his room smelt weird."

Regina laughed and held out her hand for Emma, "You are right Henry's room does smell weird sometimes. Come on, lets get you all clean."

Regina started the bath for Emma and added bubble gum scented bubbles to the bath.

Emma looked at Regina and asked, "What am I going to change into when I'm finished. I don't have anymore clothes"

Regina groaned when she realized that Emma was right, Emma didn't have any clothes and obviously none of her clothes were going to fit Emma's small frame.

Regina sighed said, "Well since we didn't go shopping I am going to see if I can find some of Henry's old pull-ups, and some of his old clothes. Hopefully something will work. We can go shopping tomorrow and get you some new clothes, ok."

Emma nodded and smiled, "I've never been shopping before."

Regina's heart clenched and chocked back another set of tears, "Well it is a lot of fun."

Regina turned off the water and helped Emma to get in.

Regina realized she forgot towels, she went to the linen closet and grabbed two towels; by the time she returned Emma had a hair full of bubbles and a bubble beard.

Regina walked in and laughed, she was reminded of a time when Henry did that, she cherishes those moments because she realizes that this is probably one of the first times Emma has ever experienced such carefree laughter.

Regina places the towels on the lip of the sink and kneels next to the tub.

Emma is still laughing and playing with the bubbles when she sneezes and the bubble go flying.

When Emma opens her eyes she sees Regina's face and hair covered in bubbles, Emma tries hard not to laugh but fails miserably.

Regina is shocked at first but then joins in on the laughter, "You think that is funny huh?"

Emma just nods, "Well, what about this?"

Regina quickly scoops bubbles into her hand and blows them into Emma's face.

Regina is laughing and so is Emma, Regina looks at Emma and says, "Alright, I think there is more water on the floor than in the tub which means its time to get you washed and out of the tub before you turn into a raisin"

Emma smiles and nods. Regina helps Emma bathe and wash her hair.

Regina's anger rises again when she turns Emma so she can wash her back, Regina gently washes her back which are covered in bruises and asks, "How did you get all of these bruises Emma?"

Emma is silent for a moment, "Sweetheart, I promise you I will never ever hurt you, and I will never ever allow anyone else to hurt you."

Emma turns around and faces Regina, "You pinky promise" Regina sadly smiles and nods holding out her pinky, "I Regina Mills pinky promise"

Emma wraps her pinky around Regina's and looks down. Emma is moving the bubbles around and begins telling Regina what happened, "Before I was in the woods I was in a house. The mommy and daddy were always mad at each other. I needed help getting a bowl from the top shelf, but they were yelling again and I didn't want to get hit again."

Emma paused and Regina had to swallow the bile that was rising in her throat.

Emma looks back at Regina, "I was to little to reach, so I climbed up on the counter and tried to reach. But then the mommy slammed the front door and the daddy came in and saw me standing there. He started yelling but I couldn't understand what he was saying. I went to reach the bowl when he pulled on my shirt and I fell back. I hit the floor and I dropped the bowl and it broke. The daddy was really really mad he told me to go to my room and I did. I went to sleep and when I woke up I was in the woods."

Regina has tears in her eyes by the time Emma is finished with her story. Oh God. that sick bastard. She is lucky she didn't have a concussion! Her foster father pulled her off a counter and yelled cause she broke a bowl! How would he feel if I broke his face!

Regina cups Emma's cheeks in both of her hands and kisses her forehead, "I promise no one is going to hurt you again. I promise"

Regina pulls away and smiles at Emma. Composing herself Regina shakily but happily says, "Alright you are raisiny, lets get you out of the tub."

Regina lifts Emma out of the tub and quickly wraps her in one of the fluffy towels.

Regina then carries Emma to her bed and sits her in the center, "Stay right there and I'll be right back."

Regina searches through all the bins of Henry's old clothing and finds a t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts, and thankfully at the very bottom of the bin she finds a pack of unopened pull-ups.

Regina walks back to her room and sets all of the stuff on the bed.

Emma scoots the the edge of the bed where Regina hands her the t-shirt. The shirt comes down to the tops of Emma's thighs, Regina chuckles and hands her the pull ups. Emma growls at the pull ups, which makes Regina laugh.

The pull ups have spiderman all over them which Emma seems to smile at. Regina then hands Emma the shorts and rolls the top of the pants so they aren't so long.

Regina lifts Emma again and places her on the edge of the bed to but antibacterial cream on Emma cuts and to check Emma's stitches.

Once Regina is done checking Emma over, she hears Emma's stomach growl, she realizes that she never made lunch, "Oh sweetheart I'm sorry, I forgot all about making lunch."

Emma shrugs her shoulders and says, "Its ok. Henry and I had a apples and chips with whipped cream while you were talking with the the police guy."

Regina scrunches her nose at the unhealthy and disgusting combination.

Emma laughs at Regina's reaction, Regina says, "Well as delicious as chips, apples, and whipped cream sounds how about we order a pizza and call it a night?"

Emma nods her head, "Alright, what do you like on your pizza?"

Emma thinks for a second and says, "pepperoni! Lots of pepperoni and lots of cheese!"

Regina is stunned for a second, that is exactly how Henry likes his pizza.

Regina nods and mock bows, "Your wish is my command. Go find Henry and tell him we are having pizza and no we aren't getting bread sticks"

Emma runs off to go find Henry.

Regina sighs and sits on her bed, She can hear Henry's groan from the living room, "Aww come on MOOOOM!"

So this is what it is like to have two children. Regina laughs to herself and picks up the phone to dial the pizzeria.
