    Emma smiled. "I don't really like to fight you. So I forgive you. Maybe one day you will stop?"
     Regina nodded and held her hands together. "Yeah." She whispered.
      Emma looked at Regina. "May we finish cleaning you up now?"
    Regina nodded and sat back down.
    Henry finished cleaning Regina's wounds and set the first aid kit aside. There was a knock on the door.
     "I'll get it. Henry can you get Regina some clothes to change into?" Emma asked.
   Henry nodded and did as he was told.
    Emma answered the door. Mary Margaret walked in. "Do you need help? I mean I-" she twisted her arms together. She looked at Regina.
     Emma shut the door. "Some of her cuts are pretty deep. Can you take s look at them?"
     Mary Margaret worked as a surgeon at the hospital.
    Mary Margaret nodded slightly and walked over to Regina. "M-May I?"
     Regina nodded and turned her face. To show her the deepest cut.
    Mary Margaret's hands shook slightly but she touched Regina's cheek and looked at her injury. "It could use stitches. I-I could give you then if you come to the hospital to-"
     "No!" Regina said jumped up. Mary Margaret quickly pulled her hand away.
      Emma looked at Regina. "It couldn't hurt to get stitches Regina."
     Regina shook her head. "I'm not going to the hospital."
     Emma sighed. "Because it shows weakness? Tell me if I'm wrong."
    Regina bit her tongue and said nothing.
    Emma touched her shoulder. "Regina even the most powerful and strong people need help sometimes. Please let us help you."
     Henry walked downstairs. He handed Regina some clothes. "I-I car hold your hand? If you Get scared. I had to get stitches and I was scared but mum held my hand."
    Regina smiled slightly. "I'm not scared of getting the stitches. I've gotten stitches before. I don't go to the hospital."
     Emma crossed her arms. "Where have you gotten stitches from then?"
     Regina looked at Emma. "You've never cut my face. I've always been able to stitch myself. Before I-" she dropped her eyes. "Became the villain I studied at the hospital."
    Emma looked at Regina. "Well now you need to go the hospital. Nothing will happen to you."
     "You don't know that." Regina said.
     Emma took her hands. Emma saw they shook. "I won't let anything happen. Okay? But you need to get help."
    Regina sighed. "Alright."
    Emma handed her the clothes. "I'll let you change and then we can go."
    Regina nodded and walked to the restroom.
    She shut the door and pulled her own clothing off. She sucked in a sharp breath. Bruises lined her body. Emma was right. There was hardly a spot that didn't have a dark bruise.
    She quickly changed, ignoring every pain her body sent through her. She walked out of the restroom.
     Emma took her clothes and put them in a laundry basket that was by the bathroom door. "Come on. Let's go get you looked at."
   Regina kept silent and followed Emma.
   Mary Margaret and Henry Followed them.
    Emma didn't drive. No one in the town really did.
   Emma kept Regina on her side and they walked down the sidewalk to the hospital. They entered and everyone looked at them. Some moved away quickly as Regina got closer to them.
    Regina looked down.
    Mary Margaret signed her in and led her to a closed room. "I'll get equipment. I'll be back." She said and walked out.
Emma could see that Regina was very uneasy and stiff. She sat on the bed and looked around. "Regina you look like you've never been checked out before."
Regina shook her head. "I haven't. I may have worked in a hospital but I've never had myself looked at."
Emma nodded. Henry looked at her. "Never?"
Regina shook her head. "There was never a need."
He frowned. "Never a need? So all the times you could have come in and gotten stitches done was not a need?"
Regina narrowed her eyes at the boy. He shrank against the wall.
Emma put her arm in front if him out of instinct.
Mary Margaret walked in. She looked at Emma. She walked to Regina and looked at her. "May I?"
Regina said nothing but nodded. Mary Margaret began to work.
Regina kept her gaze on the ground the entire time.
"There." Mary Margaret said. "Would you like me to look over anything else?"
Regina shook her head. "No." She whispered. She felt bad now. She scared Henry. And, sure, she was used to scaring people but for some odd reason this time she felt bad.
Regina stood up and her vision started to dot in black.
Emma saw her sway and grabbed her arm. "You okay?"
Regina pulled her arm away. "I'm fine." She snapped. "I just want to leave."
Emma nodded. "Okay. Let's leave."
