*Set after the season three finale*

It had finally been proven true... Regina will never have a true love..never a happy ending...never a second chance. Regina looked on at the sight before her, Robin with his arms protectively around his wife and child like he would never let them go. Like he would never let her go. Tears sprung at Regina's eyes but never dared to let them fall, never dare let the man that had just broken her heart into a million pieces see her vulnerability. She looked away from the painful sight and to Emma. The woman who she was becoming friends with. Was. That woman had just torn her whole world apart. Just like her mother.

Regina hadn't even noticed everyone in the diner looking at her until now, their eyes filled with pity towards the brunette despite everything she had done to them, they all still knew that what Emma had unintentionally done was horrible. She had to get out of here, the tears in her eyes were becoming harder and harder to hold in. She took one last look at the man that she was willing to spend the rest of here life with and then left. She was walking, almost jogging, to get away from the Diner. She heard someone vaguely yelling her name but she didn't want to turn around, she didn't care who it was. Right now she needed to be alone. She stumbled out into the streets finally letting her tears run free, she could barely see.. All of this emotion was too much, she had kept it bottled in for too long so she let it out. Right now she felt empty like her heart was literally just ripped out, no it felt worse than that. She felt nothing.

Regina leaned against a wall to keep herself steady, it was dark, she had a blinding migraine from what she thought were the past events and her body was shaking with sobs.

"So stupid! Why had I let him in! Love is weakness!" She punished herself. Suddenly she heard footsteps running toward her, part of her hoped that it could be Robin coming to apologies but that thought pasted quickly she never wanted to talk to that betraying man again! The running was getting closer.

"Regina!" Emma called. It was Emma. This was all her fault! Why couldn't she have left the woman where she was! Just like her mother. Regina tried to put on a brave face but failed miserably.

"What do you want!?" Spat Regina. She was still leaning against the wall and was grateful that there was very little light so Emma wouldn't see her like this.

"I want to apologies! I had no idea, I just wanted to save her."

"I don't want to hear it! I loved him! You ruined what was my second chance at happiness! First you come to town and take my son away from me! Then your mother killed mine and now you take away the man I loved! What more damage can you do Ms Swan!" Regina let out a sob as she thought back to the previous year, having her son taken away from her and her mother murdered not to mention Daniel.

"Regina.. Please I'm sorry, i didn't mean to-"

"PLEASE leave me alone!" Regina begged trying to end the conversation.

"I'm so sorry Regina.." Emma said with tears welling in her own eyes. She walked back to the diner.


Emma walked back into the dinner to the sight of Robin kissing Marian through pure love for the women that mothered his son. Henry ran straight over to emma.

"Emma! What wrong with mom? Why did she leave like that?" Henry asked as he hadn't quite grasped what had happened.

"Um... Kid.. I've done something in the Enchanted Forrest that has made things pretty complicated for people here in Storybrooke.."

"What was it!? I have never seen my mom cry before let alone in public so what happened!?"

"See that woman over there?" Emma pointed towards Marian and Henry nodded." When I was in the Enchanted Forrest, she was being locked up and in line for execution." She decided not to tell him the part that it was his mother that put her there. "I had the chance to free her and so I did, I freed her and brought her back here with us not thinking of the consequences."

"What has that got to do with my mom?" Henry interrupted.

"Well if you would let me finish, that woman is Robin's wife who was supposed to have died years ago."

"Wait if you did that then.. My mom... Where's my mom!?" Henry suddenly realized what was happening and he knew that he needed to talk to Regina as he knew how much she loved Robin and that this may just push her over the edge.

"She was just outside but I don't think you shou-"

Henry grabbed his backpack and ran out the door, he ran down the street yelling for his mother as loud as he could. She could have been anywhere by now, she has magic even though she promised Henry not to use it .


Regina sat at a bench on the side of the road holding her head in her hands, the migraine felt like it was taking over her brain she tried to walk to her office where her car was parked but she feared that she might pass out along the way. This couldn't be any normal migraine.. It felt more powerful, more painful.. It must have been a change in magic some how, maybe Emma did bring something else back with her..

Suddenly she could hear her name being called again it was a small voice that was unmistakable. It was Henry.

Henry finally saw his mother sitting on a bench that was under a street light and he ran straight over to her.

"Mom!"

Her heart softened at the thought of Henry coming after her. 'At least someone cares.' She thought

"Hello dear." She said as she tried to conceal her feeling just a little longer, she wiped away the tears still knowing that she probably looked like hell right now."

"I'm so sorry mom...are you ok?" This was the first time he had every seen his mother crying before.. She was always the tough one! The one that would fight the monsters under the bed, the one who would watch scary movies with him, the one that was always calm him down during a tantrum but now it was his turn to look after her. She didn't look like her usual self.. The confident mayor and mother, she had mascara running down her face and looked broken.

"I'm fine, honey, don't worry about me. Why don't you go back to Granny's." She didn't want to seem like she was trying to get rid of him but she needed time to herself and this headache was striking worse and worse with every moment.

"No mom, don't do that you aren't fine, I am worried. Why don't I stay with you tonight we can-"

"Please Henry! I'm fine just go back to Emma." She placed her hands on her head as if it would make the aching disappear.

"He does love you, you know." He said quietly. He slid over on the seat and put his head on his mothers shoulder.

"Maybe he did... But now he has his wife back and they are all a happy family and that's just how it's supposed to be." A tear slid down her cheek.

"Why don't I go and get him! You guys can talk!" Henry beamed with what he though was a great idea. He got off the bench and went to head back to the diner but Regina grabbed his arm at the last minute.

"No!" She winced at how the shouting intensified her pounding head. "You can't! I can't face him right now... I need some time to think this over. Please Henry."

"Ok but at least let me stay with you tonight I want to make sure you are alright." Henry said

"I am fine Henry but I really need to be alone, I promise you can come tomorrow but tonight I need some time to think." Regina replied quickly.

"Well.. Ok but only of you pinky swear!" Henry attempted to lighten the mood a little and was satisfied when his mother let out a small smile.

"Pinky swear," she agreed at they shook pinkys "Ok now go back to Grannies before ms swan starts to worry."

"I love you mom." Regina hadn't heard those words in a long time.

"I love you too dear." Regina watched as he went back the direction he came.

Regina now felt worse then ever as the tears came back not at all helping the migraine. It took all she had not to collapses while Henry was talking to her but she had to get home, she knew that using magic all the way could potentially kill her considering the condition she was in now. So she decided that she would teleport herself to her car and drive from there. After all she wasn't going to ask anyone for help or pass out in the middle of the streets. She picked herself up of the chair barely able to stand and quickly teleported her self to the car.

It was almost as if her magic was fighting against her, and the temperature had dropped dramatically from the seconds before when she was on the bench. She landed just beside the car door and fell to the ground , it felt like she has just been hit in the head ten times with a saucepan. She mustered all the energy she had left to lift herself into the car which she finally did. She turned on the engine and turned the heater on straight away as it felt like it could snow any moment outside.

'it's only a 5 minute drive home, that's all just hang in there until we get home' she thought to herself.

She backed out of her parking space narrowly missing a pole as she could barely keep her eyes open. as she drove part the diner, her tears escaped again, she couldn't help noticing Robins 'big happy family' in the window. She kept driving trying to let other thoughts come to her head but nothing came, she stepped on the accelerator a little harder then usual going well of the speed limit not caring but just wanting to get home. A set of traffic lights were coming up and she didn't think to stop, nearly everyone was at the party anyway so nobody would be out. That was when it happened. As she drove through the red light a 4WD came the otherway also going well above the sleep limit obviously not expecting someone to be running a red light. Regina saw the big car coming at the very last second but it was too late to brake now. The 4WD tried to swerve but there was no stopping what was about the happen. It clipped the side of Regina's car at a high speed making the Mercedes rolling violently three times and crashing into a powerline line. The 4WD was fine considering its size against Regina's small car but the Mercedes was now rolled onto the passenger side with the windscreen and three of the windows shattered.

'It's all over now Regina.. You can find Daniel now.' Were Regina's last thoughts as she gave into the darkness that she hoped she would never return from.
