OQ AU. After an accident leaves Regina Mills with several broken bones, her friend Mary Margaret argues that Regina needs some help at home while she recovers. Regina, naturally, doesn't like the idea. She believes her injuries make her look weak - and she hates looking weak.
When Regina chases off aide after aide, the agency turns to Robin Locksley. Though he has left the field for personal reasons, he has a special knack for difficult patients and Tuck hopes he will be the one aide Regina can't chase off. Robin reluctantly agrees to work the assignment.
Will Regina chase Robin off too? Or will he prove to be just as stubborn as her?
And if so, will Robin finally teach Regina that it's okay to accept help when needed?
And will Regina provide the healing Robin himself needs?
