Could Be Swan Queen Pt 2

talk with Snow

Regina jumped a bit when Snow spoke she hadn't even heard anyone to get up. She wiped the tears and tried to act normal. "Yes, sorry did I wake you up?"
 "No, Neal did" she said as he had started to calm down "what's wrong? You seem shaken up?" She asked concerned
 "I just woke up in the middle of a dream.." she tried to gave her a small, soft smile.
 "Doesn't seem like it was a good one. Do you want to talk about it, or I can just leave you alone if you prefer" she gave her a light smile
 She was quiet for a while trying to make up her mind, she hadn't told Emma about visiting Hook. She and Snow had got along well, so she spoke."I'm just bit worried..."
 "About?" She put Neal in his chair and started boiling water for some tea
 "Hook.." she said and sat down
 Snow nodded and poured them each a cup and handed Regina hers "are you taking Henry to see him?"
 "Yes, and I can't just stop thinking about what could happen again." she said and hold the cup
 Snow placed a handle gently on her back rubbing in a circular motion "you don't have to see him long Regina. Emma said she was going to go with you next time, but I'm going to assume you are not letting her"
 "I can't take her now, she can't even lay down without being in pain. And yes I don't need to see him for long, but last time hardly stepped in the room.." She sipped her tea and then just realised that Snow hadn't probably heard about the last one
 Snow raised an eyebrow with a confused concerned look on her face "Regina,  did it happen again?" She asked quietly
 Regina nodded, it had been so much worse that time, he had been sober, and her rescue was just out of reach.
 "I'm so sorry" snow said sadly and gave her shoulder a light squeeze
 "you have nothing to do with it." she hated how he made her feel so weak. "It was my own fault, I didn't think"
 "I mean you didn't deserve it and I'm sorry it had to happen. It's not your fault Regina, just Hooks. You couldn't do anything about it"
 "I could have took tht that  stupid potion before going there and probably prevent all of it"
 "You couldn't have known it was going to happen"
 "Well there hadn't been a single time he hadn't at least tried or pushed me against a wall, so I should have known."
 "You can't blame yourself. It really isn't your fault. Maybe you just thought he was bluffing like the times before."
 "Still it was a stupid mistake I could have done right. Now I'm shaking everytime someone starts to talk about it or I have to make a short visit."
 "That's totally understandable. I don't even know how you can even be in he same room as him. I know I wouldn't be able to do that. "
 "Well I have to, for Henry, and I can't sleep my nights if I'm not sure he's going to stay locked inside"
 "Well why don't you have Henry stay with you when you lock him up? I know he wouldn't try anything around him"
 "Because if I let stay I need to change the spell to get him out of there, and it would mean, even more time there, I need to get out of the room as fast that I can"
 "Can you chain hook up, keep him in place somehow? Magic?"
 "I don't think I have enough power to keep him in place, not excactly on the top of my powers right now. I could cuff him, but I doubt it would actually hold him, and he might use it as he's advantage.."
 "I really wish I had some better suggestions. Could you maybe cuff him while Henry is still in the room?"
 "I can try to remember, my mind is a mess when I go there"
 "I hope it goes as well as it can"
 "Me too, it's too much for me or Emma to handle right now"
 "Why don't you tell Henry that he might have to wait just a bit longer. I'm sure he'd understand"
 "I don't need to get him into this mess. he's already worried of Violet even she's still over the mansion."
 Snow nodded and finished her tea and got up to wash her mug "does Emma even know your going?"
 "No, I'll tell her if she asks something, but I'm not telling her otherwise, she doesn't need to worry about  it, she needs to rest"
 "She will be mad when when she finds out"
