Reginas POV

When I picked Emma up I knew something was wrong but when she collapsed is my arms when we got home It broke my heart those people are monsters I have to get her out of there fast I can't let them keep hurting her like this she didn't deserve it no one did. I played with her hair and watched her breathing to make sure she was at least sleeping well I am expecting a nightmare soon this was when she had it last night I don't wanna sleep until her first couple nightmares I need to be there she started stirring and tensed up a lot so I quickly started to rub her back and talk to her "Emma it's just a dream it's not real your safe" I kept repeating myself until she calmed down I was happy I could do something for her I never thought I would ever love again not since Daniel... but with her it's different then I've ever felt I'm just drawn to her and I feel the need to protect her and keep her safe I was doing a crap job at that I feel so horrible and useless they were still hurting her and I can't stop them yet it's only been 2 nights and I hate this I hate not being able to save her she means so much to me... more then she should I held her like I was never gonna see her again so she knew she was safe and not alone I have her and I'm never letting go.

Emma's POV

I woke up with a pair of arms rapped around me it scared me at first but then I remembered who's they belonged to I couldn't believe how lucky I got with her I really liked her I just know it will never work I decided to close my eyes until she woke up I didn't know what time it was but Henry ran in and jumped on the bed hugging me I flinched and winced a little but I didn't mind he was adorable "good morning kid" hey smiled "morning Emma" he said a little loud "how about we go downstairs" he nodded after looking at his sleeping mom we went downstairs "you hungry" I asked and Henry's eyes lit up at the thought of food "yes can I have froot loops" I nodded got him the cereal and made it for him "what are you gonna have" I got so use to skipping I never even thought of it "I'm not hungry" this kid was smart enough for that tho "miss Blanchard and mommy say breakfast is the most important meal of the day you should have some" I thought about it I mean it is hours away and I could always throw it up if I had no choice I know it's only one meal but they weight me every day to make sure I didn't eat or if I did I didn't gain anything. I smiled at Henry "your teacher sounds smart" he nodded "yeah she is you should meet her on Monday" "sure I'll meet her" I turned on the radio and it was my favourite song and Henry knew it to so we started dancing and singing and messing around I was having the best morning ever I didn't even notice Regina watching.

Reginas POV

I woke up alone and got nervous and got out of bed and ran down the stairs panicking when I got to the kitchen I saw the blond dancing with Henry and it was the cutest thing ever it's the happiest I've ever seen Emma I had a huge smile on my face Emma looked up and started blushing but that changed when I got my arm pulled in the kitchen and the blond started moving my arms around "miss swan I do not dance" she started pouting and got Henry to do the same "that's not fair it's hard enough to say no to one of you" they kept that faced until I broke "fineeee" and Emma twirled me and we danced for 10 minutes when we all got tired I've never laughed that hard or that much in a long time Emma brought the best in me Henry put his dishes in the sink and went upstairs to change I sat down and Emma came sat next to me eating a toast with butter I raised my eyebrow at her "one piece of toast" her smile faded "yeah I'm not that hungry I don't normally have much for breakfast" I knew it was a lie "and what do you normally have" she looked down "coffee...sometimes" she spoke softly I lifted her chin so she would look at me "is this your choice" a tear fell from her eye "no" I hugged her "I'm so sorry" she laughed a little "you can't be sorry not after helping me as much as you are" I gave her a small smile and she smiled back "no more dark shi-stuff ok we have the whole day together what do you wanna do" I looked at her and she tried not to laugh and so was I "no swearing miss swan" she giggle "ok I was thinking the park with Henry and ice-cream or something fun like that" god she was such a child "sounds fun go change and tell Henry to go change" she raised her eyebrow at me "so your going to the park in your pjs" I looked down and totally forgot to change before I ran down the stairs I got up and dragged the giggling blond with me. We got dressed and went to the park Henry was running around chasing emma Henry he poked her and she dramatically fell to the ground and Henry jumped on her claiming victory he really bonded with her I smiled at what I saw until I felt a tap at my shoulder I looked up to see marry Margaret "hi miss Blanchard nice to see you" she smiled "miss Mills hi I didn't think I would see you here" I smiled "yes I brought Henry" she watched as Henry played with Emma "who's the blond" that would have been awkward saying that's my student "a friend Henry just met her 2 days ago and got really attached to her" she nodded she just stared at Emma "you alright miss Blanchard?" She snapped out of her thoughts "um yeah she just looked familiar what's her name" "Emma swan" she looked disappointed she was about to leave till Henry ran up to them "miss Blanchard what are you doing here" she smiled "hey Henry I was just going for a walk" "stay here I want you to meet someone special" I laughed at him calling her special cause she was he dragged Emma by the wrist I could tell it hurt it made me cringe but she gave me a look not to say anything "miss Blanchard this is Emma" she smiled "hi" she put her hand out and marry Margaret took it but she still had a look but I couldn't quite figure it out "nice to meet you" "you too I do have to get going it was nice seeing you miss Mills and nice meeting you Emma I hope to see you again" we waved and left shortly after
