Author's Note: So this story is about Regina and Zelena after Cora died. They are still in the underworld and are trying to help each other through Cora's leaving. Zelena decides to stay with Regina for a while instead of going to find Hades after Cora's death.


"Hey, where have you two been?" Snow asked as they saw Regina and Zelena walk through the front door of Regina's house. After being in the underworld for sometime, they decided that it would be better to move into Regina's house instead of Snow's. They had way more room in Regina's house, than at Snow's.

Regina just looked at Zelena and hoped that she would tell them everything that happened. Telling all her friends that her mother was gone for good, was just something that she couldn't handle right now. Zelena looked back at Regina and nodded that she understood.

Regina then looked back at Snow and with the best face she could put on said, "Snow, Zelena." Regina looked at both of them then continued. "I am going to just go up and get ready for tomorrow if that's okay with you guys?" Regina asked.

Zelena did not want Snow to say anything that would possibly upset Regina even more so she answered before Snow could. "Yes, that sounds fine. I am just gonna stay down here for a little while longer." Zelena said giving Regina a small smile.

With that Regina simply turned around and walked up the stairs. Everybody watched Regina walk up the stairs and open and close the door. Once Regina had closed the door Snow, Charming, Emma, and Henry all looked to Zelena for an explanation.

"What in the world happened today? And why are you and Regina all buddy buddy now?" Emma asked.

"Long, long story." Zelena replied rubbing her forehead.

"Okay...explain." Charming said.

"Well, first of all I met Cora."

Everybody's faces got a look of "oh that would explain it".

"Long story short, Regina and I had met before I cursed all of you, and Cora took our memories away of it ,so Regina would have no weakness. But we did indeed meet long before this bloody mess, we were children's in fact. Anyways Cora gave us our memories back of each other today and we remembered that once...we did love each other. Cora then realized she was still in the underworld because her unfinished business was us and because she had brought us back together, she was able to move on to a better place. Regina on the other hand is not taking it very well." Zelena finished.

All of their faces were so shocked. Nobody knew what to say. Snow was the first to say something. "Oh Zelena. I am so sorry for your loss."

Then Emma cut in before Zelena could respond to Snow. "I mean...like is Regina okay?"

"Well bright eyes, I mean it was only her mother that she lost. I am sure she will be okay!" Zelena said being very sarcastic with Emma.

"Chill Zelena, I was only trying to be nice." Emma said trying to get Zelena to back off.

"Well maybe you should think before you speak Ms. Swine." Zelena just huffed and sat down on the couch. Mean while Snow and David were just staring at the floor. Snow then thought about it and started to speak.

"Zelena? Would you like me to go check on her?"

"I don't think she really wants company at the moment but I will check on her in a while." Zelena said sitting on the couch as well. With that everybody decided to turn on a movie and just calm down after the day they had.


Once Regina had gotten up the stairs she went straight to the bed and laid down. She didn't bother to undress or take off her shoes. She heard everybody talking downstairs and she also heard Zelena get a little snippy once or twice.

She had done her best to keep her emotions in but she was having trouble. Plus she was still having trouble processing what happened. She couldn't face the fact that her mother was gone. She finally got her real mother back and then she was gone. Now she had lost her father and mother. What made it even worse is that she had already gone through this once when her mother died in Storybrooke. She didn't know if she could do it all over again.

She tried her best to fall to sleep so she could at least have a few hours of not having to think about the loss of her mother, but after what she guessed to be maybe two hours of trying to fall to sleep but failing, she gave up and just stared at the ceiling. As she laid there she started to think of the few wonderful moments she had shared with her mother, and that's when it hit her. She was never going to have a moment with her mother again. Before she had got any further in her thoughts, someone knocked on the door. She quickly wiped under her eyes with the back of her hand and ran her fingers through her hair. She then quietly said come in.

She was still laying still staring at the ceiling. She hoped it wasn't Snow or Emma. Then the door opened and to her luck it was Zelena. She chose to stay quiet and just lay there.

"Regina?" Zelena softly said.

Regina still remained silent.

"Regina I know you don't want to talk but I just wanted to let you know that I am here for you." Zelena said hoping to get a word out of her solemn sister. But still Regina was quiet. Zelena gave up and started walking back to the door. Then she heard. It was quiet but she heard it.

"You don't have to leave." Regina quietly said. Though she didn't want to talk about it she didn't want to be alone right now.

Zelena was glad Regina wanted her to stay. "Okay," was all Zelena felt the need to say. She slowly walked over to the bed and sat down. She laid down right next to Regina but didn't say anything. She turned over and just watched Regina stare at the ceiling. Regina's face looked so devastated. She herself was sad the her mother was gone but she hadn't known her that long. On the other hand Regina had known her mother her whole life and just had finally got the mother that truly loved her. She couldn't imagine what Regina was going through.

Regina was glad to have her sister by her side. She was desperately trying not to cry in front of Zelena but all she kept seeing was the love in her mother's eyes for her. "Why does she always leave." Regina thought. She was never going to see her mother again. And with that thought the tears start to slowly slide down her face.

Zelena was still watching Regina when she saw tears sliding down Regina's face. She didn't know what to do so she slowly moved closer to Regina and just laid her hand on her shoulder.

Regina felt Zelena's hand rest on her shoulder. Right now she wanted the comfort of someone who knew what she was going through. She slowly turned over and looked her sister in the eye. Without Regina saying it Zelena saw Regina needed comfort from her and was trying to ask for it without saying it.

"Oh, Regina." Zelena said as she slowly pulled her sister into her embrace. Regina tucked her hands into herself and put her face against her sister's chest. She couldn't contain it any longer and just let herself break down.

Zelena was surprised that Regina wanted to take comfort in her. And when Regina started shaking and sobbing, Zelena put her hand on Regina's head and just held her. Regina continued to cry as her sister held her. Her mother was gone and she only had her sister left. She knew that she never wanted to lose her sister and wanted a good relationship with her.

"Shhh. Oh Regina." Zelena said trying to quite Regina's sobs.

"Just please don't leave me." Regina said through her crying. "Please don't leave."

"I promise I won't leave you, Regina. I am not going anywhere." Zelena responded.

"You promise?" Regina asked.

"I promise." Zelena said.

Regina continued to cry but it wasn't as hard. And as Zelena still laid there holding her it turned into whimpers and soon she was quite. She still had tears going down her cheeks every so often.

"Why did she leave choose to leave me?" Regina whispered. Zelena almost didn't catch but she did.

"Oh darling. I don't think she chose to. It was time for her to go. She wanted to be with both of us but there comes a point in life where everything has to eventually move on. She needed to move on. Not because she wanted to but because it was time to. She loved you Regina I could see it her eyes. Never forget that. Okay?" Zelena asked.

"Okay." Was all Regina said.

"And you will always have me, no matter what happens. I love you little sis." Zelena said.

Regina didn't respond immediately but she soon said, "I love you too."

After a while Zelena realized Regina had drifted off in her arms. Zelena just laid there staring at Regina thinking about how amazing Regina was. After all that Cora had done to her she still was devastated that she was gone. And after all that Zelena herself had inflicted on Regina, she still turned to her for comfort. She was so happy that she had a sister like Regina. Someone that loved with all her heart. Someone her be behind her at all times. Someone who would support her no matter the circumstances. Someone she never wanted to lose. All of these things defined who Regina was. She couldn't ask for a better sister. And then she heard it.

"I am glad you are my sister." Regina whispered in a very groggy voice.

Zelena smiled, "I am glad you are my sister." She then slowly drifted off herself into a peaceful Sleep with her sister.
