She sat crying on one side of the door.
Silently.
Emma on the other.
"Regina, I'm Sorry. Henry brought me back to bring back all of the happy endings, and my job is not done until you have yours too."
A pause.
"You know if you won't fight I will, you can be happy Regina."
Deep breath.
"And I'm not leaving."
Emma slid down on the other side of the door.
Regina could feel the door take on Emma's weight. As tears continued to stream down here face. She hadn't slept. The pain at losing her future was too much. But as Emma sat there, on the other side of the door Regina lost her anger at the blonde. She was tired so tired. She didn't care if Emma could hear her. She let out a sob, and laid down on the floor, facing away from the door.
Emma could hear her crying. Regina was definitely right on the other side of the door. She sighed and put her head in her hands. She messed up, bad. She hadn't wanted to hurt Regina, but she did, again. She listened to the soundtrack of Regina's broken heart for almost an hour. At which point she was certain the woman had cried herself to sleep. She sat there imagining Regina lying on the floor, how she would wake up in even more pain.
Emma walked to her office as they were in city hall and got some pins to pick a lock. She did so quietly and there was only a tiny click. She hoped Regina wasn't right against the door so she could slip in, she wasn't. Emma slightly pushed the door open and squeezed herself in. Regina was passed out on the floor. Tear tracks just starting to dry on her face. Emma put her hand on Regina's shoulder.
"Hey, Regina. Let's get you over to the couch ok?" Emma rubbed her arm as she spoke.
Regina slowly opened her eyes. She didn't jump, she didn't speak, she slowly sat up and let Emma pull her up. Emma set her down. Found a blanket in the stool Regina kept for long nights at the office. Went back over to Regina. Took her shoes off. Slipped her own black shirt off, leaving just her white tank on.
"Here, let's change you into this, you will sleep better."
Regina complied, as she was too tired to really understand what was going on. She took of her shirt and skirt and Emma slipped her black shirt over Regina's head. Then sat on her left, put a pillow in her lap and laid Regina down after pulling the blanket over her.
"Just go to sleep." She stared running her hand through Regina's hair.
The woman let out a sigh. And snuggled into Emma's lap.
It wasn't long after Regina nodded off to sleep that Emma did too.
shall i continue? :)
