The Snow Queen was gone now, and tho everyone was happy, glad that the curse was broken, Regina had the feeling it would have been better if she stayed for a bit longer, If her frozen spell on Marian lasted more. But that wasn't the case.

Robin literally ran into Regina, lifting her up in the middle of a street. That was something that almost made her forget about what she was suppose to do. She gently wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a even stronger embrace.

"We are alive. And in one piece." Robin whispered on her ear, slowly putting her back on the ground. It felt like he hasn't seen her in years now. That's how much he missed her. That's how much he loved her.

"Yes, I guess we are." Regina replied with a sad smile. Maybe they were in one piece, but she had this feeling her heart was gonna break into million pieces once she brings Marian back.

"What's the sad face for? Shouldn't this be the moment when we are happy to be alive?" he caressed her cheek with his thumb, gently touching her lips with his own, and then resting his forehead on hers.

"Now we can bring your wife back." She said, taking his hands in hers, removing them slowly from her face. She made a few steps back, looking straight in his eyes, as if he was gonna tell her that he didn't need his wife, that she was enough for him and that he loved her and her only. Her look fell down, fixing to the ground. It was so hard to hold back tears now. Just when she was happy again, when she thought she could have love.

Robin's eyes followed hers and he didn't say a word. What she said hit him like a bullet in the heart. He didn't know what to do, what to say. He just stood like that for a few moments and then shook his head, taking a deep breath. "I guess you're right." – that was all he said. And it was more than enough for her.

They walked next to each other, in awkward silence, both thinking about the same thing. Who will Robin choose? The woman who loved him, loves him still, the one who gave birth to his son, but means nothing to him but a beautiful memory of something that happened years ago? All his feelings for her faded away as the time passed by. On the other side, he had this woman who loved him and who he was crazy in love with. What he felt for her, he never felt for anyone before. It wasn't just passion, tho there was so much of it you could feel it in the air, but everything about her. Every, even the smallest thing. Her smile, skin, lips, eyes and a magical look that said more than words, and then her messy hair in the morning when she wakes up… He loved every single atom of her. And he wanted to spend the rest of his life with this woman. But the honor he was talking about the whole time, the code he's been living for, everything was against them. But he just couldn't imagine his life without her in it.

They walked into the room, both of them staring at Marian's lifeless body. After a few moments, Regina walked over to the small box, opening it and seeing a pale, pink, beating heart. "This is it…" she said, taking a deep breath.

"Thank you. For everything." Robin said, walking to Regina, giving her a strong hug.

She nodded, tapping his back. It was way more than she could take. She pulled away and looked at the woman who took it all from her. She took everything from her once, now it's her turn for the payback. Villains don't get happy endings. And she was a villain. Or at least was. But it seemed her son and Robin were the only two to fully trust her. And she's came so far.

She approached the pale woman, pressing into her chest what she once took away. And the very next thing they heard was a loud sigh and a silent scream coming out of Marian's mouth. She was confused, scared…. Everything at once. She looked around to se Robin, her Robin, and Regina, once the evil queen, standing next to each other and staring at her a bit sadly. "What… What happened?" she asked, sitting up slowly, with a dizzy feeling in her head.

"The Snow Queen froze you. She cast a spell. And now you're… "Unfrozen". It's good to be alive again, ha?" Regina said, with an awkward smile on her face. She saved the cause of her "not so happy ending". She saved the only person that was standing in the way of her happiness.

Robin smiled as if he was a five year old child. What was he suppose to do? He would hug Marian, he was glad she was back and alive, but again, how would that look to Regina? Would she see that as a sign he chose Marian, as a sign he loves his wife more than her, or as a simple "I'm glad you're alive" hug, which it would be anyway.

He threw a short look at Regina, and their eyes met after what seemed like an eternity.

She forced a little smile to come out on her lips, tho smiling was the last thing she felt like doing.

"Regina, actually…" he made a small break, giving her a sad smile back and then looking at his wife again "…is the one who saved you." He finished, smiling weakly. He should have been happy, and all he wanted right now was to escape from the whole world with the woman he loved. Everything seemed too complicated. There was no way to finish this, there was no way for him to make a decision, without anyone getting hurt. That was it, and he knew it, sooner or later, he will have to hurt one of them. And, by hurting one, he would hurt himself too.

"Once took it, once saved it. I guess we're even." She tried to joke, staring at the two, which were obviously keeping something away from her. They were staring at each other, like they were trying to communicate their eyes, like they were trying to decide whether to tell her or not. And her heart broke. She knew the exact same moment what was going on. "The two of you are together, aren't you?" Silence and looks between all of them became even more awkward and no one knew what to say.

"I'm not sure this is a good subject…" Regina said, locking her eyes on the floor. If Robin wanted to say something, he would have done it already, no? And she didn't want to be the one to blame for the break down of their marriage, if Robin still wanted it.

"I see how you two look at one another." Marian said, standing up, shaking her head. That was it. She just couldn't stand it anymore. She could stay silent over Robin calling Regina's name in the middle of the night, while he was sleeping next to her, next to his wife, but she couldn't ignore the fact that the same moment she was gone, even for a short period, he cheated on her.

"Marian, I..." Robin took a deep breath before saying something he knew was gonna be painful for her, something he knew no one from that room will ever forget. And he just wanted her to understand. "I love her. I am in love with Regina." He knew it was sharp, it was fast, but it would have been unfair if he let her believe that they were still together, still happy, still in love. Because they haven't been all that since the moment she died for the first time. They haven't been that in years. And nothing could change what happened. She died once, he moved on and kept living. He fell in love, he forgot about her. Regina made him forget. Forget about everything bad that has ever happened to him. And he couldn't let her go. He was madly in love. Addicted to her.

And, oh, if only those words were stab in the heart just for Marian.

Regina looked at Robin, confused and shocked, trying to understand what he just said cause it seemed just too good to be true. Her lips widened into a huge, gorgeous smile.

Marian nodded, feeling as if her whole soul was falling apart. The man she loved chose another woman. "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't love me back." She said silently, looking at them. She couldn't fight against it anymore. She has finally lost him. And there was no going back.

"I'm sorry, Marian, but I just…" he made a few steps towards her, trying to find right words, something to comfort her with, but all he had was silence.

"It's okay... It's fine… Actually, not quite, but I can't do this anymore. The three of us would live in a misery and without love, and we all have a chance for happiness. You already found it, but, I just have to start searching." She made a few steps back when Robin walked to her, looking him straight in the eyes. She wanted him, she wanted him to be the reason of her happiness. Like he was once. They were happy, they were in love. They were everything she ever wanted. But he just wouldn't let her make him happy. So she gave it up.

"Thank you, Marian." Regina said, breaking the silence. There was nothing she could say or do. Everything was already said and done and she couldn't remember the moment when she felt this happy for herself and at the same time sad, maybe even a bit guilty for someone else.

Marian looked at her, analyzing once again the person who she's lost everything because of. Twice. And she felt anger and hate, yes, but she wouldn't let anyone see it. At least not all of it. "I'm doing it for Robin." She said, smiling weakly. "So you better take care of him or it won't matter anymore to me if you have powers, or if you were a queen." That, she said with a smile, as if she was joking, tho she meant it for real.

"I promise." Regina pronounced in a grateful smile.

I guess you guys know how this episode finished. I changed it a bit, but the ending stays the same, I won't change it, I am just too lazy to type it all. For those of you who don't know, Marian is still not cured and she leaves town with Robin and Roland, and, as you probably do know, when they pass the line, they can't come back to the town. I have some other plans for the Outlaw Queen, tho, this was just something to start writing. I will post in a few days, hopefully, if school allows me to. So, let me know what you think! And I bet no one expects what will come in the next chapter!
