AN: Ok, so with that said. This little story came to me because I just couldn't find the strength to study. Yup, I'm procrastinating. Unfortunately, I find nursing reading material very boring, but a must to read. So here it is. Have to warn you though. It's pretty depressing. Not sure if it will be a one shot or not. Depends on the response and I don't know where this is headed yet. All mistakes are mine. Sorry for the typos, I just needed to get this out before cramming my study material well into the night. So with that, on with the story.

Looking down below to the place she now calls home, Emma couldn't help but feel anymore alone. It's been two weeks since their argument. The argument that caused nothing but grief. Thinking back, she should've just stayed quiet. She should've listened to her heart and not her head. And now, look where it got her.

The shrill ring of her phone brought her back to reality. Not bothering to look at the caller ID she answered.

"Sheriff Swan." Voice void of emotion.

" Emma, where are you?" Henry's voice full of concern. " Grams and Gramps are getting worried about you. Gramps was going to go out and look for you. They called everyone and no one has seen you. Emma?...Mom?" Silence…

" I'm not far from home. Tell them I will be home soon. Just had something I needed to take care of. Make sure to brush your teeth before going to bed, it's way past your bed time." Not bothering to wait for an answer, she hung up. With a sigh, she walked back to her car. " Back to reality."

Standing outside her and her parent's apartment door, it takes Emma five minutes to get the nerve to enter the apartment. Knowing that as she walked in, question after question would be thrown at her. Letting out a breath of air " Here I go". Emma walked into her apartment, her parents situated in front of the television. Both glanced at her direction with worry in their eyes.

" Emma!," Snow ran towards her enveloping her in a huge hug. Please leave me alone! " Where have you been? You have been gone all day and not even a word from you this morning. No one has seen you, heard from you, anything! Do you know how worried we all were!? Henry thought you had left him, and you didn't even bother to answer your phone! It's one in the morning for goodness sakes!

As Snow went on her tirade, Emma didn't even hear a word she said. Her mind elsewhere, to one particular person. A person that her parents would definitely not approve of.

Her only answer to Snows questions was with a grunt.

" EMMA! Are you even listening to me!? EMMA!?," Snow now standing in front of her daughter, hands on her hips, breathing rapidly. " Is that all you're going to say? After everything I just said, all you're going to do is grunt?! ANSWER ME!? You have been distant for the past two weeks and don't think that we haven't noticed. Even Henry is concerned and feels like you are pulling away from him. Like you don't care for him! Emma, tell me what's wrong.", her rant falling to a whisper. "Just please tell me what's going on Emma. How can we help you when you won't even talk to us. You have been so distant and silent. You have been walking around here like a ghost. Please?!" Desperation finally making it's way out. A suppressed sob made it's way out and tears have finally spilled on her mother's cheeks.

" I'm sorry. I…." Looking at her mother red eyed and tears threatening to fall. She quickly brushed them away. " I….I just can't….please Snow, Mom." Her eyes betrayed her as her tears now poured down her pale tired face. " When I'm ready, and only WHEN I'm ready, I will talk to you about what's going on. But until then, PLEASE, I beg of you! Let me be!" With that said, Emma brushed past her speechless mother.

Before her door slammed shut, she heard a faint "EMMA!" from her distraught mother.

Stripping down to her tank and underwear, she laid down with a huff. Praying that tonight she would get a full nights sleep.

She couldn't have been more wrong. Sleep, never came, instead her nightmare, or rather yet her memory of that day kept re-visiting her.

" Why do you have to be so difficult!? I love you! I don't care if they don't approve. I DON"T CARE!" Emma looked at her girlfriend with desperation in her eyes. " I'm tired of hiding, I'm tired of sneaking around. I'm proud of our relationship. I love you! Why can't you understand that?!" Pacing back and forth trying to convince her girlfriend to come back to her apartment and tell her parents.

" I'm difficult?!" Grabbing Emma " Do you think your dear parents will approve of us?! Do you? Do you think that they will open their arms and cry with joy that their daughter is finally settling down. That they would readily accept that their only daughter fell in love with the Evil Queen? They would think that I poised you, or…or cursed you to make you mine.", Regina spat out. Walking away from Emma, trying to get away from the same argument that they have been having for the past month and a half.

Following her out the door, hot on her heels, Emma grabbed Regina by the arm.

" Stop yelling?! It's not good for you! Emma yelled

" IF you didn't keep yelling AND bringing up the same damn conversation I wouldn't HAVE TO YELL!" venom pouring out with each word.

" I'm tired, of this Emma please?!"

" NO, I won't! I will not let our relationship be a secret anymore. What will people think when they see you walking outside…

" Don't you finish that sentence.." Regina threatened.

" With a swollen…" Emma continued

" STOP!.." Regina hissed out and before she could utter another word, she doubled over with pain. Looking down, she saw blood trickling down her leg.

" REGINA! Baby, please, I have to get you to a hospital."

" EMMA! The baby…" Regina cried out. And all went black.

SQSQSQSQ

" Dr. Whale. How is she?" Looking at the window of her girlfriend.

" She is fine for now. We gave her some sedatives to calm her down. The baby, however,," Dr. Whale couldn't stop his voice from cracking, Sighing, " The baby, didn't make it. I'm sorry."

With that he left.

Knowing the answer already, but having it confirmed, brought her back to reality. Praying that their baby would be ok was a long shot. Regina needed her, and she needed Regina. Willing her legs to work, she made her way into her girlfriend's room.

Regina lay facing away from her. Laying motionless, hand protectively coving her belly where their baby once was.

Walking over to her bed, she sat down, touching Regina. Regina stiffened immediately from the contact but relaxed after knowing who it was.

" Baby." Crying freely now, she laid down next to her girlfriend. Arm covering Regina's waist protectively. Both crying for the loss of their unborn baby.

AN: Sad. I know. Let me know what you think and if you want me to continue. If I do plan to continue this story, update will be stretched out because of work and school. Thanks!
