Regina shook her head. “I have not threatened your precious flake of snow… Trust me, you both would know if I had!” Regina shouted, she then turned back to Emma. “I love you, Emma… I love you, please… Please stay strong.” Regina mouthed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Regina turned to look at David. “How would you know what her limits are?You’ve known her for a total of five minutes you pathetic excuse of a Prince! She needs to drink it, she has to drink it to survive… You don’t understand. I can’t lose her!” Regina snapped at the man, her anger flaring once again. She then whipped around to see Emma, tears streaming down her face as she could no longer control her fear, the fear of being abandoned, alone and miserable for the rest of her life. The fear that what was said about villains was true, they don’t get happy endings.

"How, how can you promise that? Promises from you mean nothing!" Regina snapped at Snow White, her anger from the situation causing her to lash out at others. "S-she could die right now and nothing, nothing I could do would stop it…. I’m going to lose her, just like I lost Daniel, don’t you understand!" Regina shouted at the raven haired woman, pulling away from her embrace. She then whipped around and looked to Emma. "Drink…" Regina shouted across the way to her girlfriend. "Please, d-don’t leave me…" Regina sobbed out, watching yet another scene unfold from her love’s past.

"Why… Why must she go through this? Why can’t it just let her be? W-we were happy? I-I feel like this is my fault. M-my curse… A consequence was a void, a void in my heart. Emma fills that void, what, what if this is meant to take her away from me?" Regina sobbed, her tears now flowing like rain. "I can’t lose her, Snow… S-she’s… She’s my True Love." Regina whimpered, saying it for the first time aloud.

Regina watched the scene unfold and found that she couldn’t bare to watche her girlfriend be married to a man who had walked out on her, a man who had hurt her in more ways than one. The brunette turned around quickly and covered her face with her hands as a few tears slid down her cheeks. “I-I can’t…” She sobbed. “I can’t lose her, not now, not ever…” Regina sobbed into her hands, her words muffled by the coverage.

"Not in the slightest dear, but I guess I have to be… Don’t I?" Regina questioned as she stood to her feet. The brunette then brought her right hand to her lips and began to nibble on her middle fingernail, a habit she had only become accustomed to doing in times of true dire stress. "We s-should go." Regina added, making her way over to the bedroom door, fighting the urge to kiss Emma once more. She continued to fight that urge as she walked passed the blonde and down the stairs to the front door. Hoping that this would be the end of it, that Emma would get through the test or whatever it may be and they could move on.

Emma could feel how nervious the brunette was. She wished there was a way to make it better. She knew though she just had to tough it up. She did feel a ton better after the drink of whatever this was. She closed the bottle and took it with her since there was some left. Maybe later in the day, it would be useful. She slipped her hand into Regina's as she walked with her toward main street. She didn't want to drive. Maybe she was just buying herself time.

Regina watched as Emma slowly pulled away and moved to sip from the bottle. Her facial expression causing the brunette to giggle. “Dear, it can’t possibly be that bad.” Regina chuckled before moving closer to Emma, she allowed her arms to slide aroudn the blonde’s waist once more. “I love you, Emma Swan and I will be with you, every step of the way.” Regina spoke softly, she then pressed her lips to Emma’s and kissed the blonde passionately before pulling away and walking over to her closet. The brunette then changed into an everyday attire and slipped on a pair of flats before moving to sit on the edge of the bed, waiting patiently for Emma to ready herself.

Emma rolled her eyes. "Oh yea, taste like candy." She said sarcastically but fell silent when Regina looked at her liked that. She put her own arms around Gina's neck and smiled soflty. She moaned softly into the kiss and fought to not hold on and never let go. When Regina was getting ready she got her shoe's on and things. She fingered the necklace with the circle and turn to look at Regina. "Ready?"

Regina sighed and nodded, simply pulling the blonde to press against her even more as she tightened her arms around her love. “I know, dear… I want you to stay too, the mere thought of you going back out there makes me feel physically ill.” Regina replied, she then caressed Emma’s back and placed a soft kiss to the blonde’s pulse point as she held her there, tightly, lovingly.

Emma relaxed more into Regina's hold and nodded her head. She made another soft noise at feeling Regina's hands caress her back. It was nice. She patted her hands on Regina's after a second. "We have to get ready." She said and moved away slightly. It took all her will power not to just turn and cling. She opened the water bottle and took a drink. She made a face. That really didn't taste good.

Regina looked at Emma with a curiously raised eyebrow. “I’m not entirely sure, Rumpel seems to think it will aid you in getting through this. I believe it will ease the pain and keep you grounded.” Regina replied, she then walked over to the blonde and wrapped her arms around Emma’s waist from behind. Resting her chin upon Emma’s shoulder. “I love you, I only want for you to be safe, for this to be over and for us to get on with our lives.” Regina said softly before proceeding to pepper featherlight kisses along Emma’s neck. 

Emma felt her eyes close as her head fell back to Gina's shoulder. She made a soft content noise her arms sliding over Gina's to hold her there. "I just want to stay here." She admitted softly. She turned her head and nuzzled it into Regina's neck. She never really had a place that was safe. She once thought she did with Neal. But it was fake. This felt real. Felt better. She didn't want to leave it.

Regina hopped off of the bathroom counter and walked over to Emma, quickly wrapping her arms around the blonde and pulling her into a rather passionate kiss. “I love you, there’s something on the nightstand… I-I need you to drink it.” Regina spoke softly after sealing the kiss and pulling away, not wanting to allow herself to break once again.

Emma smirked letting her arms slide around the woman. She made a soft noise into the kiss. She almost pouted when the Gina backed away. She sighed and nodded. "What is in it?" She walked to the bedroom slipping on her underthings then jeans. Bra, then shirt, then belt. After clothed she then reached for the bottle.

Regina couldn’t help but to smile as she watched Emma peek out of the shower, just to reassure her. That was one of the things Regina loved most about Emma, she seemed to always put others before herself, even when it could quite literally destroy her. “Emma, you have to keep your promise… I-I will never forgive you if you leave me here alone.” Regina spoke, her voice shaking as well as her hands.

Emma turned off the water stepping out and pulling a towel around her. "I thought we said that was our thing." She winked at Regina. She had managed to get  her mask on. Her no pain ready to go mask. Regina could feel her nervousness  But the confidence that was gone when she fell into that bed in so much pain was back. "Besides, the worst stuff... mostly is over." She said softly.

Regina made her way into her bedroom and sat the travel mug down upon her nightstand before walking over to the bathroom door, slowly she crept inside and allowed herself to perch upon the sink as Emma showered. “Emma…” Regina said in a solemn tone, truly worried about her love and the events that were coming up, knowing that it would be painful, emotionally and physically for the blonde as well as herself. “I love you.” Reigna whispered, her fear of losing the blonde consuming her within that very moment.

Emma smiled as she felt Regina get close. She pushed herself off the wall and forced herself to hurry up and get clean. She smiled and peeked her head out of the certain  "I love you to, Gina. It's ok." She ducked her head back in the shower to finish washing off.

Regina had finally made her way home, clutching the travel mug tightly. “Emma, Emma, I have something that will help.” Regina called once she entered her home. “Apparently, there isn’t a way out of this, but there is something that will help, I-I think.” Regina added as she began to climb the stairs.

Emma moved herself up and to the bathroom when she heard Regina's voice. She turned the water on for a quick shower. "Ok, Be right there." She yelled out the door before stepping into the shower. The warm water felt good and she closed her eyes leaning on the wall.
