Regina is awoken by a shrill scream.
Regina bolts up right since she doesn't recognize the sound. She knows it didn't come from Henry. It takes a moment for her to realize, Emma.
Regina jumps out of bed and runs into the spare room where Emma is, was, sleeping.
When Regina opens the door she sees Emma crying and shaking in bed.
Emma looks over to Regina with wide, scared, teary eyes and Regina breaks.
She goes over to Emma and stands in front of her, and opens her arms for Emma to come to her.
Emma quickly scrambles into Regina's arms and starts sobbing.
Regina shhh's her and picks her up, gently rocking back and forth whispering "Its ok, you are ok. You are safe."
Emma finally begins to calm down. Regina asks Emma, "Do you want to try to sleep here or you want to come sleep with me in my bed?"
Emma mumbles, "Your bed"
Regina walks out of the spare room and walks back to her room. No questions asked.
Regina places Emma in her bed. Emma scotches over to the other side and rolls over onto her side. Regina gets back in bed and places the covers over them. Emma rolls back over to look at Regina and whispers, "Sorry".
Regina shakes her head, "No need. Henry used to get nightmares too. It's ok. You want to talk about it?"
Emma shakes her head.
Regina nods and says, "ok. Well come here and go back to sleep."
Emma moves closes and snuggles into Regina. Regina wraps her arms around Emma nice and tight, reminding Emma that she is right there, that she isn't alone.
It's not until Regina can feel Emma's breathing even out, does she even think about going back to sleep.
The last thing that Regina thinks before drifting back to sleep is It's ok Emma, mommy's here.
