I told another lie today
And I got through this dayNo one saw through my gamesI know the right words to sayLike "I don't feel well," "I ate before I came"Then someone tells me how good I lookAnd for a moment, for a moment I am happyBut when I'm alone, no one hears me cry
"Leopold. Please stop. No."
Leopold continues his caressing of his new wife's body. She closes her eyes and tries to forget what is happening to her body. She can't and it reminds her of how she felt when Cora would hurt her and slap her if she ate. And slowly tears start to form in her closed eyes as his movements continues.
Emma looks down at Regina who keeps kicking her legs and all of the sudden her legs go limp and she starts to curl into herself. At this Emma starts to try and wake Regina. She had been trying to wake her girlfriend for a while but Regina was too far into the dream that nothing was waking her. Now that Regina was still Emma hoped that she could wake up the older woman.
"Gina, honey."
She says shaking the shorter woman's shoulder, silently cheering at the fact it felt just the slightest bit less bony.
"Gi, wake up sweetie."
Still tapping shaking the woman. Slowly Regina looked around and realized where she was in their home in their bed.
"Emma. I was dreaming, I dreamt of Leopold."
Emma immediately wraps her arms around Regina and starts to rock her,
"He isn't here. He is gone. You are safe. You are loved. You have so much worth. I love you. I love you."
Regina eventually calmed down,
"I love you too."
I need you to know
I'm not through the nightSome days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
It was Regina's appointment at the hospital for her weight to be checked and her session with Dr. Hopper. It had been 2 months since her first time where she said she wanted to get better.
It hadn't been easy at all.
'I want the weight, but I don't. I hate feeling this way.'
Emma notices Regina's bouncing leg in the car as Henry taps Emma on the shoulder from the back of the car, pointing out that the granola bar Regina had grabbed for her snack wasn't eaten yet.
"Gina, honey. You will be okay."
She then places her hand on Regina's thigh
"You gotta eat."
Regina shakes her head,
"Emma please. No. I-I can't. I am so nervous."
Emma takes the bar while driving and opens it. Breaking of half, she hands the half to her girlfriend.
