you’re the one that needs to listen to me more often…I’ll try and be more considerate from now on. I promise, I will never put you through anything that you can’t handle. Thank you for being there for me through everything.” She murmurs, gazing lovingly into her husband’s eyes for a moment before pulling him into a hug.Rumpelstiltskin returns her embrace, wrapping his arms around her tightly. “Thank you for accepting me in your life, Regina. I know that it’s not easy to find a partner in your age, especially in such an early stage.” He mutters as he buries his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply.Regina chuckles slightly as she strokes her fingers through her husbands hair soothingly. “Well, you better get used to it, dear, because I think that I’m stuck with you until death do us part...at least for now.” She jokes, earning another chuckle from her husband. “Ahem.” Emma coughs into her fist slightly as she rolls her eyes playfully at the couple.“Excuse me.” She adds i
, glaring slightly at his ex, causing the Queen to raise her hands up in surrender. “Sorry, sorry. I got carried away.” She tells him sarcastically. She turns back to Emma, “But, anyway, as I said earlier, it’s hard to explain, but it’s possible that I may not have been completely honest with you and your father about certain aspects of me and your father. As I mentioned before, it wasn’t easy for me to be in a relationship.” She admits before continuing, “Not that we ever went out without others watching us but...there are some memories…” She trails off sadly before smiling slightly in remembrance. “Anyway, after a rather traumatic event that took place a few decades ago, my magic became a bit volatile, leading to my powers becoming unstable, hence why the curse was cast…and when it was broken, I ended up in Storybrooke where Zelena took me in. It turned out to be somewhat helpful and eventually I began living my life with her, but I couldn’t forget everything that happened during th
hand in reassurance. “Well, I’ll just be honest with you. Your parents really weren’t happy with how you had treated me. They couldn’t forgive you for everything you put me through because they believed that you were incapable of ever redeeming yourself. They still feel guilty.” She admits.Emma frowns in disapproval. “Why though? All these years later. After all the bad stuff that happened. Why does it matter if I was mean towards you when I was young? That doesn’t excuse anything that I have done. But that shouldn’t change anything between us. I still loved you deeply and wanted to be there for you in every way possible. Why did it matter anyway? Why is it bothering everyone now?” Emma mutters frustrated, trying hard to recall the reasons why.“Because my parents didn’t want me to fall in love. That’s why it mattered.” Snow replies in a whisper. “They wanted me to marry someone like you, someone kind. Someone gentle. Someone that could give me children and love me unconditionally.”
assume they were doing something along those lines, yes. And if what he said about his father being involved is right then maybe this whole situation started a couple of weeks ago.” Snow suggests, staring into space for a moment.“But that could also mean that they only found out about Henry’s powers when he was kidnapped by the dwarves.” Emma states thoughtfully. “Or perhaps, since I came to town, Henry’s abilities have just increased a little over time.” The blonde comments, shaking her head in disbelief.Snow looks down for a moment as she thinks, not really believing anything that Emma has just suggested. Eventually, she speaks again: “We don’t even know if what he’s telling us is correct yet. He might be delusional. Or maybe the whole curse thing is making him see things…” She mumbles to herself whilst scratching the back of her neck anxiously.“What?” Emma asks confused, turning her attention back to Snow.Snow looks up and sighs tiredly; she knows that she can trust Emma enough
We need to call Henry’s parents and make sure that he was okay and if he hasn't called, that probably means that nothing’s wrong.” Emma says, nodding her head. “Now come on, I have a lot to explain to my family.”“Of course. And you know, I would love to talk to your family more as well. Especially Regina. It feels so good to finally meet her after everything that we’ve gone through together.” Snow smiles at the blonde.Emma nods her head, smiling as well as she agrees: “I would love to have you to meet them as well, especially Henry. After everything that you’ve done for him…you deserve some special recognition from his family. I just hope he is okay and that he doesn't hurt himself or somebody else too badly.”“Thank you.” Snow responds, smiling warmly. “And thank you for caring about Henry. It’s very sweet of you.” She tells Emma sincerely.Emma grins lightly, blushing slightly: “Uh…yeah, it’s okay.” She says softly, averting her gaze towards the floor, not wanting to look the brun

gone to get me, and you never came back. They took me to see a doctor, but then when they told me that I was supposed to stay there overnight they changed their minds because apparently no family can visit the kids alone during the night because they’re too dangerous and stuff. So I ended up staying with grandma instead of staying at home. She offered to watch me while everyone else goes to sleep tonight, so it's not really a problem at all,” Henry tells her softly, shrugging. “Is that why you're here? Did something happen with your dad and uncle?” He inquires.“Not exactly. In reality…my mom’s dead. She died shortly after getting sick and they had to move her into the hospital because there was no way they could afford to keep her there. And then a few years later when mom had gotten back, we met her husband and his wife, and they invited us to live with them. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re okay. Are you hurt anywhere? Do you feel dizzy? Have you ever felt nause
Much better than Henry...it’s hard to believe that it only started yesterday.”“Well...sometimes that is life in general. When people live a long time, they tend to forget how young and fragile things really are, especially children,” Hannah chuckles quietly.Emma nods knowingly, trying not to blush at what feels like a very personal comment from Hannah, but unable to ignore her words, anyway: “Yeah, yeah. But Henry is tough. He’ll grow out of it in no time,” she assures the kind doctor.“That’s great to hear. And, hopefully, when Henry has grown out of it, his life will be less stressful. At least, I don’t believe that anything else would change it.”“Thanks...Miss...Hannah,” Snow corrects herself.“Please...call me Hannah,” she insists once more.“Ok, Hannah,” She says simply, “I hope you enjoy whatever business you were going to do today.”“Oh, well… I actually wanted to speak with the little family who is currently living in the building across from yours,” she admits shyly, smili
Regina notices that it's just ahead of them so she sits back comfortably in her seat and watches the cars rushing past them. They make their way through the intersection smoothly and continue to drive through the middle of town for a few more minutes. After passing by several buildings that looked rather fancy, they eventually arrive at their destination. Regina watches Daniel's reaction carefully as they approach the entrance to the hotel. He stares out of the window silently, looking uninterested.“Here it is…” he speaks suddenly.She turns toward him and smiles. “This is our hotel? This is your favorite hotel?”“Yup...this is my favorite hotel. Come on...let's go check us in.” He says, taking her hand and leading her through the glass double doors to the lobby of the hotel.As they enter the lobby, she notices that there’s very little activity. There’s a couple of men who seem to be talking on the telephone in a corner and there's a woman who seems to be arguing w
He leads her across the yard to one of the garage doors. “Come on. Let’s find your car.” He mutters. “I need to take you somewhere important.”“Okay… where?” She asks curiously, following after him as they walk toward her truck.His grip on her arms tightens momentarily, and she wonders what he must be thinking about. They make their way over to her black, shiny SUV and he helps her climb into the passenger seat. He walks around to the driver' s side and slams the door shut before turning to stare at her for a second before starting the car and driving out of the driveway.The streets are filled with traffic, which isn't unusual at this hour. It’s late afternoon and most people have stopped working to spend some time outdoors in the cold rain. She watches as the trees fly by through the windshield and she realizes that this must be how Daniel felt whenever he drove through these roads. That was the reason why he didn't speak much about himself. But maybe he never truly wanted to talk
Sam frowns but drops the subject anyway and walks towards the car.As they prepare to depart, Jack pauses, taking one last glance around his home. Then noticed his wife standing at the other side of the room. She smiles sweetly, "You are trying your best” She walks over to embrace her husband. Jack hesitates momentarily before reciprocating the hug. “The kids don't see that ” Jack whispers. Sophia squeezes her husband tighter, "Your children love you, you're doing great, and you make a wonderful father. They need a strong person that will take care of them, and you just happen to be that person”"Thank you," Jack breathes out gratefully when suddenly the car horn blares, startling the couple."Can we move?!” Emily yelled out the window impatiently, clearly annoyed. Jack and Sophia nod in unison.Samuel is the last to leave the house, walking down a flight of stairs with the pipe tightly gripped in his hands.As soon as they were all loaded into the car, Jack sits behind the steer
Nothing. So she slowly steps outside and closes the door behind her, stepping under the protective shelter of the staircase. The rain continues to pour on, even heavier than before.Suddenly she hears loud, thunderous footsteps coming from her right. She looks over and catches sight of Daniel running out into the street. The rain suddenly stops and the air grows quite humid. Regina takes a couple of deep, calming breathes and tries to control her breathing as well. After a minute she hears the sound of tires rolling on wet concrete. She turns her head to look in the direction where she heard it and she freezes in place as she realizes what’s happening.A car is speeding down the road, heading straight for Daniel. She watches as it speeds up and approaches him. She can hear the engine revving loudly as it gets closer and closer to him. She can see the driver’s side window roll down and she can see the man’s face clearly. He’s smirking evilly as he drives by Daniel, who is standing froz
Regina sits up, placing her elbows on her thighs as she stares at the window across the room. She's afraid of facing what she did last night, but at the same time she has no desire to leave him alone either. He's never been so open with her before and she doesn't understand why he' s doing it now. Maybe he's scared that she'll think less of him after she found out about everything he went through. It doesn't seem like that's what he is worried about though, because he never told her about it. Even after all these weeks together he barely opened up to her. She knows that he has feelings for her, but she still feels like he doesn’t trust her enough.After a moment she gets up from the bed and starts walking toward the bathroom. As soon as the door closes behind her, Regina leans onto the counter. After spending hours and hours just staring at those damn walls yesterday, she's really starting to grow frustrated at herself. How could she let those bastards win? What did she expect? She sh
his gaze to meet hers.“Good morning.” He greets her softly, smiling.“Good morning.” She answers, also smiling, returning the gesture. She watches him carefully, noticing that despite his words he seems somewhat uncomfortable. She wonders why and how many nights he spent tossing and turning last night due to his dream. “You didn’t have any bad dreams this night?”He shakes his head and looks away. “I’m glad you stayed.”“Me too.” She agrees.They both remain quiet for a few minutes, neither wanting to talk about the events of the previous evening. But eventually they must break the silence, because he speaks up."So… You came back here? I thought…”"No, I didn’t stay here. I left immediately after you fell asleep."He smiles at her. "Good morning." He repeats, making her laugh."Good morning." She replies."What would you like for breakfast?" He asks.She looks at him questioningly. "Um, what exactly is your definition of 'breakfast?'” Sh
“Sorry girls, I just need to be alone for now" she replies in a broken state while looking at the none resistant eyes of the little girls. She was trying not to cry but was failing miserably by the end. She walks through the halls aimlessly, her head low and her mind in turmoil. She needed time to sort out what the hell had happened but she knew that wasn’t an option here. It would just mean more time away from these children’s concerned eyes. She stops at one of the windows to look outside; the moonlight was falling heavily as usual in this part of town. There was nothing special about this particular window though, it looked exactly like all other ones around her. However, she noticed something different this time around. The trees were swaying back and forth slightly; almost like there was some kind of wind coming from behind them. It was odd enough for her to have stopped to look. “Everything we dreamt and built together is all crumbling," she says while holding her locket
The first rays of sunlight illuminate the whole room through the blinds covering the windows. She blinks several times as she yawns loudly. She rubs the sleepiness off her eyes and stretches slightly. She hears a slight groan next to her and looks over at him to find him staring at her through a heavy eyelid. Slowly he starts waking up more. His eyebrows furrow and his lips purse together slightly as his eyes focus on Regina. He blinks several times and then turns his gaze away from her. She watches his face carefully, waiting for him to show any signs of discomfort. To her surprise, however, he remains very calm.He pushes himself up and sits cross legged on the edge of the bed while stretching once more before finally lifting his gaze to meet hers.“Good morning.” He greets her softly, smiling.“Good morning.” She answers, also smiling, returning the gesture. She watches him carefully, noticing that despite his words he seems somewhat uncomfortable. She wonders why and
wearing the same tattered sweatshirt as earlier. He looks like he hasn't slept in days.He slowly walks over to her, and she keeps her gaze focused on her hands folded together on her lap; trying her best not to let him know how worried she is for him. She hears him sit next to her on the bed. "Are you okay?” He asked in a soft voice.She finally lifts her gaze from her hands to meet his eyes. She takes in his appearance for a few moments and then she says. "Yes. I'm fine."He frowns. "But you're not. Why won't you tell me what happened? I already said you could leave whenever you wanted and that we were friends and nothing more," he tells her with pleading, sad blue eyes.She swallows nervously before looking back down. "I am really sorry… It's none of my business." She tells him sincerely. "I should probably go back to the living room now." She adds as an afterthought, standing up to take a step back.She feels his hand gently touch her shoulder. She slowly tur
