Troubles in Storybrooke

Chapter 29

When the next morning came, snow had woken up and carefully sat up but saw her and Regina on the couch although she was glad for the other woman and felt a bit better than she did yesterday but knew she’d have to go home. She just didn’t know how David would be. When Henry woke up, he had gotten dressed into different clothes before going downstairs and saw Regina and Snow on the couch but he headed to the kitchen although he was hoping that today would be a little better than yesterday and the day before.

Regina was still asleep on the sofa, her arm still wrapped around Snow. She felt a little movement and opened her eyes, she was still a little bit tired and she just realised that it was the first time she had slept since her meltdown just over two days ago when Snow had to come check on her. "Morning" she sat and sat up aswell, her eyes were a little red but ignored that and stood up. "Did you sleep okay?" She asked chuckled softly as she remembered Snow had fallen asleep on her rather quickly. She heard someone coming down the stairs and looked up slowly. "Hey Henry...how are you?" She asked softly, she was so proud of him for yesterday but hoped that he wasn't too worried, she wondered if perhaps she or snow could take him to see emma today, and maybe Regina herself would have a word with David.

Snow gave a small smile. “Morning.” She told her as she sat up. “I actually slept well.” She said. “How about you?” She asked as she stood up, stretching her arms above her head before she heard Henry.

The boy looked over at them and smiled some. “Good morning.” He said. “I’m okay..” he added although there was still a little nervousness about how Emma was doing and made a note to send a message or call later to see how she was. “I was going to see what there was for breakfast, do you two want something?” He asked

Snow shook her head. “As much as I would enjoy having breakfast here. I should get home. I need to change and see how.. David is doing.” Snow said. She was hoping that maybe he had time to calm down and think and that she could convince him that Hook wasn’t the bad pirate he once was.

Regina thought for a moment and nodded. "I did...haven't done that in a while" she joked softly but then looked over at Henry. she grabbed the whiskey and the wine and took them back into the kitchen putting them away before giving Henry a quick kiss on the head. She listened to the two speak and thought of a compromise. "Wait..." She said. "Why don't we eat here, and Snow I can go visit David and talk to him and you could take Henry to go see Emma?" She suggested, she knew that she was scared for her daughter as much as anyone else was. "Feel free to grab something from my closet if you need to" Regina said and turned to Henry, he shouldn't have to look after them, not when he had already done so much to help. "What would you like to eat?" She asked them both, the world could wait ten minutes while they looked after themselves, besides, she had a plan to help David, she knew Snow and the others wouldn't approve of her putting herself on the line with what she had planned, but it was the only way to get the anger out of David and get him to move past this.

Snow gave a small chuckle at the joke and nodded but heard what Regina said and although she wouldn’t mind someone else talking to David, she shook her head. “I couldn’t ask you to do that Regina. I can do this.” She said. She didn’t want Regina to get hurt because of that, even if Snow had been a little scared of David last night and that he had pushed her a little, she knew he wouldn’t ever actually do any harm to her. She didn’t want to risk Regina being hurt because of all this. Even though she was scared for Emma, she wouldn’t let anyone else be hurt.

Henry smiled some at the idea of going to see his mom and nodded. “Think she’d feel up for it?” He asked and watched the two but knew neither one of them wanted the other to go so he suggested. “Why don’t you both go?” He suggested. “I can message Hook and see if mom feels up for company and if she is I can go by myself, let her know you’ll come later.” He said. He knew Snow wasn’t about to let Regina get hurt and knew Regina wanted to handle it but he was also thinking that it would be best for there to be both of them. At the mention of breakfast, he thought before his eyes lit up. “Can we have some waffles and pancakes?” He asked Regina
