It's been four months since Robin died to save her from Hades.
It's been four months since she lost the love of her life, again.
It's been four months since Regina Mills comes to the cemetery every friday.
This friday wasn't different, her routine is arriving 11 am, put a flower on his grave, She spends some minutes in silent, goes to see her parents and usually she's finished around 11:20 am, when she goes to granny's and have lunch with Zelena and little Robin.
But it was the first friday she saw Emma Swan on Hook's grave. She didn't make her presence noticed for not bother the blonde, she stood there, looking at her back and wait till Emma was gone to go see Robin's.
It's been two months since Regina sees Emma at the cemetery every Friday. Emma arrives at 10:45 and leaves around 11 a.m until the day she doesn't come.
Regina starts her routine thinking about what happened to the blonde when she hears someone calling her name.
"Regina, what are you doing here?" Emma.
"Well, Miss Swan, as you can see, I'm visiting Robin's grave."
"Yeah, stupid question, I was surprised because I usually come here every Friday and had never seen you around"
"I know, I wait for you to leave so I don't bother or be bothered by you" Regina was faking annoyance, actually she was glad that finally, she could talk with Emma about this.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think I was bothering you, I'll leave-" Emma starts to leave the other woman alone
"No Emma, wait"
She stopped walking and turned around to see Regina, who seemed to be nervous about something.
"I was thinking, it's been 6 months since, you know" Regina's voice was really low, Emma didn't remember ever hearing the mayor sounding so insecure.
With a nod from Emma, Regina founds strength to continue
"I was wondering if you like to come to my house to dinner every Friday, so we can some quality time with Henry to show him we are fine"
"Why? is something wrong?" Emma knew she was welcomed at the Mills' home, occasionally she'd have dinner with them, but this invitation seemed something she couldn't quite understand.
"Oh, nothing is wrong, Henry asked me yesterday if we aren't friends anymore because" she made quotes in the air with her gloved hands "'you guys never hang out anymore', so I thought that dinners would be a way to show him that we are okay, and honestly" Regina took a deep breath, this wasn't easy "I think he's right to think this, since their death we were too busy mourning to be friends"
Emma was shocked, they came through a long road and now Regina considered her a friend.
Without an answer from the blonde, Regina starts to regret opening her mouth and begins "I understand if you don't want to co-"
Emma get out of her mind and interrupts "What time?"
"Excuse me?"
"Dinner. What time do you want me to come by?"
That day, they both left the cemetery with a smile.
