ONCE UPON A TIME Rumple and Neal reconcile in 2x16 "The Miller's Daughter"

Rumple and Regina see their sons again after a long time

Clock’s ticking. I know I’ve made mistakes, but you must believe me. I want to make up for it. There’s no greater pain than regret. Try abandonment. Please. Let me make it up to you. How are you going to do that? I grew up alone. I grew up without a father. You can make up for that? Yeah. Yes, I can. Two minutes. Come with me to Storybrooke. There’s magic there. I can turn the clock back. Make you fourteen again. We can start over. Fourteen? I don’t want to be fourteen, again. Are you… Are you insane? I can’t make up for the lost time, but I can take away the memories. Bae… Take away who I am? No, thanks. One minute. Bae… Please… Give me a chance. You once loved me. You were once a good man. And I can be that man again. I’ve changed. Look. I came here, to this city, without magic. Yeah, yeah, and you’re still trying to use it to make up for your mistakes. Still think that that can make it all better. It won’t. You can’t. You have no idea what I’ve lived with. You’re so worried about you. You know what I’ve dealt with? Every night, for more years than you could know, the last thing I see before sleep, is the image of you… You and me, over that pit. Your hand… Wrapped around mine. And then, you open your grip. And as I fall away, all I can see is your face. Choosing all…this…crap over me. Letting me go. Now, it’s my turn. Now I’m letting you go. I’m sorry- I don’t care. I didn’t get closure, so you don’t, either. Got to go. Oh, Bae… No. Time’s up.
