"Henry?" Regina call sitting up and climbing out if the bed. She looked at where he went to sleep and didn't see him.

"I'm here. Emma brought us some breakfast. Oh. And Robin stopped by. He wanted to talk to you and I told him you were asleep." Henry replied walking back into the bedroom area of the Vault. He held a brown bag in one hand and a small coffee in the other.

"Thank you. I am going to go get a shower right quick then I'll get something to eat. Alright?" Regina replied. She put her hands on his cheek and kissed his forehead.

"Ok. I'm going to be in here. So. If you need me." He worried. He put the bag down onto the nightstand in the bad room as he watched his mom walk into the bathroom.

Regina sat on the edge of the bathtub and peeled the bandages back. The cuts were still painful to touch and she flinched when the cool air rushed into the wounds. After removing the bandages she turned the water to a luke warm and stepped under the beating of the shower head. Her muscles relaxed in her back and her knees burned in pain of warm water rushing into the wounds. She massaged the soap through her hair and then rinsed it. When she felt prepared for the pain she bathed her wounds. When the soap entered she had to bit her lip to keep the cries of pain from rushing out. After she rinsed she soap she stepped out of the shower and dried her hair.

"Henry. Go to the other room so I can get dressed please." She called from behind the bathroom door.

"Alright." He called back walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him to confirm he was gone.

Regina walked out and pulled on a blue dress. She didn't care that the large cuts on her knees showed. She didn't care about anything but Henry anymore.

After bandaging her knees up once more. She walked out to the main room where Henry was.

"Are you going to work?" He asked shocked. His eyes widened and his jaw hung slightly open.

"Yeah. Where else would I be going?" She replied taking a sip of her coffee. It warmed her throat and she gave a 'mmm' to show so.

"I don't know. Anywhere but there. Your hurt. Why don't you just go back to our house?" He snapped back. His mom's side of him was showing now.

"Henry Daniel Mills. I am going to work now. Oh, and This is my home now. At least until I can get somewhere Robin can't find me." She snapped back at him. His face grew sad after hearing what she said.

"Ok. I'm going to school. I'll be at other moms tonight. You call me if anything happens. I don't want you to get hurt anymore." He said walking up the stairs.

"I will." She said back to him and followed him up the stairs. He climbed into the car and Regina sat in next to him.

"I love you." Regina said when Henry climbed out of the car at the school.

"I know." He smiled and shut the door. He walked up the stairs and into the doors before Regina finally drove off to work herself.

'Why so much work?' She asked herself when she sat down at her desk. She leaned back in her chair and took a deep breath. Her legs hurt and she had to force herself to keep her legs uncrossed. She layed her head down and bit her lip in frustration. 'I need Dr. Whale to look at my knees. Just in case I need sutures.' She thought to herself and pulled out her phone to text Snow and Emma.

"Emma, can you come to the office and take me to the hospital. Snow, I need you to take over the mayors job while I'm at the hospital." She text to them in a group message. After moving the documents that she needed to read over and sign.

"What happened? I'll be there in a minute." Emma texted back after a minute or so.

"Comming with Emma." Snow replied at the same time.
