In School Suspension

Chapter 2

Emma and Henry both walk into the apartment, the young boy goes right to the kitchen. “Woah, dude. Talk to me. What happened?”

Henry shakes his head seriously. “I don’t want to talk about it.” his eyes were still wet from earlier. Like he was trying to stop himself from crying. Emma knew that look well. Someone hurt her sons feelings.

“Well… Why don’t we have a movie night. You calm down a little, and then we’ll talk about it?”
Emma offered, she was really trying here.

The boy sighed deeply before he nods, eyeing his mother. “Okay.” He nods again, his bangs swishing as he done so. “Only if we get to watch my favorite.”

Emma smiles brightly. “Alright then mister. Go get your jammies on and meet me in the living room!”

“Ma, I’m ten. It’s pajamas.”

“Okay, okay, whatever! Come on!”

Henry sits on the pillow on the floor. His back against the front of the couch. “He was bullying me…” He started as the movie played in the background. “He kept saying hateful things, about us.” He shakes his head. “I know violence isn't the answer but he pushed me and he said he would do worse if I didn’t fight back. I like it here. I didn’t want for us to leave. I messed up didn’t I?”

Emma slides down onto the floor beside him and she wraps an arm around his shoulders, pulling his body against her side. “It’s alright Hen, I knew something happened. Who was it?”

“Principal Mills knows who it was. I asked her to not punish him.”

“Why would you do that?” Emma asked in surprise. Why shouldn't that boy get in trouble just like her little boy.

“Because if he got in trouble too i would have to sit in ISS with him everyday.” he reasons and he looks up at her.

“You got a point. But that boy can’t get away with this. You know that right?” Emma whispered.

Henry nods seriously and he laid his head against her as he watched the movie. Ending the conversation.

Regina Mills walks into the mansion. Setting her bag down onto the table by the door, along with her keys. “Mother?” She calls out as she makes her way through the foyer and into the kitchen. Not seeing her she lets out an aggravated huff. Of course she wasn’t there. The short haired brunette grabs a water and she goes to her room.  

She takes off the black blazer she was wearing and she places it on the chair in front of her vanity. Her mind kept going back to that woman. ‘Miss Swan.’ Regina had her suspicions about Henry, and after the boy asked her to keep the boy out of the punishment she knew that something was off then.

The brunette sits on her bed, thinking it over. Why was Henry’s mother looking at her that way? Regina was known as the HBIC all over StoryBrooke so no one really even looked at her. Too scared, while that had its pros, it most definitely had its cons.

She is interrupted from her thoughts with a constant chime on her phone. Rolling her eyes she gets up and collects her phone out of her blazer pocket. Seeing the unknown number she decides to answer it. “Regina Mills”
