Regina was waiting in the crickets office, rolling her eyes at all the diploma covering his walls. Crossing her arms, she began to tap her foot. The council woman's time is precious so this man and she used that term loosely. Better hurry and say his goodbyes to his last patient. Moving toward the book shelf, the brunette looked over the books on there, a small smile crept over her face. You could always tell so much about person by the type of books they kept. When the door opened Regina turned and did the her best at giving Archie a semi friendly smile, that way she wouldn't seem so menacing.Hello Dr.Hopper I assume you know why I'm here? I need to know how their sessions are going. She stated calmly as she moved to the couch to sit down. Regina had intention of leaving until she found out what was going on with her sons.

Archie was quite proud of the diplomas on his walls. He'd worked hard and gone to school for years to get them (or so he thought, at least). His office was almost homey, with its green striped walls and the comfortable sofas that dominated the room. The only clues that this was indeed an office rather than an apartment were the psychiatric books on the shelves, diplomas on the walls and old-fashioned filing cabinets full of old-fashioned paper files. Even though Archie knew his way around a computer (at least enough to do all the basics) he didn't trust them with his professional files- he'd heard too many stories of hackers, and thus felt much safer with the files locked in cabinets and the key on his person than with them in a computer system that anyone with better computer skills than his could hack into and steal the information.
At any rate, he was finished with his current patient, and scheduled another appointment for next week before bidding the man farewell and showing him to the door. Finally Archie turned his attention to the waiting Regina, who was already showing herself to a seat on one of the couches before he could say anything.
"Regina, why don't you sit down and we can talk," he said even as she did so. Then he took a seat on the other couch and got down to the business she'd come for. "Henry is still talking about that book. He's still convinced the stories are all true and everyone in town is someone out of a fairy tale. Daniel still doesn't seem to believe in the book the way his brother does, or if he does he hasn't said as much. He has been having more trouble since they brought that Emma Swan woman to town, though. He's torn about what to think; on one hand he wants to love her because he feels she's his biological mother, while on the other hand he's afraid to because he thinks she'll just leave again, and because he's worried that to love her would mean loving you less. At this point, it would be hard to say who needs more support, although their reasons for needing it are both very different."

Regina crossed her legs and looked straight a head as she listen to what Archie had to say. The information about Henry wasn't a surprise really. He had been clutching that book since that idiot sheriff had given it to him. Regina needed to stop this as soon as possible. Furrowing her brows she,upon hearing about Daniel. She turn her head and look at the Doctor.He said that? she uncrossed her legs and moved forward in her seat. She didn't want to loose both of her boys, the pain of loosing Henry was so difficult and now the sheer idea of loosing Daniel made the rest of her heart shatter.Rubbing her forward Regina, sighed okay Dr.Hopper so in your medical opinion should we moved to the next step in Henry's treatment. Because just going to see you isn't working! Closing her eyes she could feel her anger boiling up.So what are the options for him and do you think I should spend more time with Daniel?

Regina was displeased to hear about the twins' progress. But she seemed more concerned about Daniel than Henry, at least at the moment.
"Well, no, he didn't say those words exactly, but as a psychiatrist I've learned to read between the lines of what people say to find out what they really mean. I think you need to spend more time with both your sons, let them know you still love them and that you're still there for them even though their biological mother has come back into their lives. Although honestly, if I were you, I would ask for a DNA test to make sure she really is the biological mother, and not trust that she is just because some website said so." Although he wondered if Regina would be too afraid of the results to have the test done. "With Henry, I'm afraid the next step would be to try him on medication. It wouldn't necessarily rid his mind of those thoughts, but it would help clear up his thoughts so he would have an easier time distinguishing his fantasy from reality. But I hesitate to medicate someone his age without a really good reason, and we would have to weigh the benefits against the possible side effects, which could include weight gain, problems sleeping, headaches or nausea, among other things. Let me give you this pamplet..." At that point he got up and went to his desk to look for it. "...to let you know about the medicine and its side effects..." He spoke while rummaging around his desk. "Ah, here we are!" He carried the pamphlet back and handed it to Regina. "Take a little time to read it over and consider the benefits and risks, and then you can tell me if you think we need to go that route or not."

Do you think I haven't tried to spend time with my sons? Henry wants nothing to do with me. My own son thinks I'm the Evil Queen from his book. furrowing her brows she sighed and crossed her arms. When Archie mention a DNA test she hadn't thought of that. Regina must of been blinded by the shock of what her children had done.
Rubbing her the bridge of her nose,I think it maybe best, obliviously just regular therapy isn't working Doctor. I love both of my boys very much. Please fix them.[/color]The brunette took the pamphlet cracking it open she didn't want to do this but if it would protect the curse then she would have to do what ever it took.
What....do you suggest should I give it more time? Will his disillusion get worse? Regina scrunch the pamphlet in her hand, and scooted toward the Dr.Hopper.I don't want to see him in a mental ward some where. She reached out to place a hand on his Archie forearm.

"And if you don't show him every day how much you love him and want to be part of his life, he'll just see it as all the more proof you must be this evil queen character from the book. And on top of that, when he does recover from his delusions he'll remember how his mother all but abandoned him when he needed her the most," he said. "Even if Henry wants nothing to do with you right now, that doesn't mean he never will. There will be an end to all this. You have to believe that." It was hard not to cringe when Regina pleaded with Archie to "fix" her boys. These were children they were talking about, not broken toys that needed repair! But he managed to avoid giving a lecture on that kind of mindset and kept to the conversation at hand. "Therapy can take time to get to the root of one's problems. It's only been about a month. We could give it more time and if things haven't gotten better in, say, six months we could consider other options. That would be what I would suggest." He frowned a bit when rather than taking the pamphlet home to read and consider, she crumpled it up. "I can't promise his delusions won't get worse, but so far they seem to be holding pretty steady. If he presented with worse symptoms I would, of course, re-evaluate my treatment plan." Then she reached out to put her hand on his arm, and Archie swallowed over a lump that had suddenly formed in his throat. "Believe me, the last thing I want is for Henry to end up in a mental ward, and I'll do my very best to keep that from happening. I'm just not sure whether medication is the best route to take right now, not when we've only given our therapy sessions a month." Tag Regina Mills

Regina brows furrowed, and she shook her head ."If you think I don't try to spend with my sons, then you are sorely mistaken Dr. Hopper. Henry is one that pushed me away." Rolling her eyes at this man and she the use that term loosely audacity. Standing up she walked toward framed ink blots hanging on the wall. Wrapping her arms around herself, she hated to feel like this but she knew hard ball will have to play hard ball. "No I'm sorry you don't have that long, after the file situation." The council woman turned to face him once again pursing her lips together. Clasping her manicured hands in front of her. Narrowing her eyes and relaxed her mouth into a grin."You now only have two weeks get to results. If they are not up to my standards, well your license will be take away." Archie Hopper

He would get nowhere arguing with her over whether she was trying hard enough to spend time with her sons or not. He had said his piece, and now he would leave her to think about it on her own. Hopefully after she did she would realize what she had to do.
When all else failed to get her the answer she wanted concerning the medicine, Regina seemed to get desperate. She abruptly said that she wasn't going to give him six months, or even one month. He only had two weeks now to get the results she was looking for.
"Regina, don't punish your children for something I did that you feel was a mistake. They deserve better than that," he said. "Let me take care of them my own way in my own time and I'm sure you'll see the results soon enough."
If she made him rush he would have no choice but to use medication, which he supposed was what she was trying to force him to do. Why was she so set on medication being the only option now? Six months wasn't really a long time to ask for her to wait.
"Why are you so set on getting instant results?"
