This is from a prompt I found on tumblr. It was posted by puthepromptsonpaper. Thanks for the idea :)
Prompt: I have to believe in something. If there is no path, then it means I'm wandering
"I have to believe in something. If there is no path, it means I'm wondering and I'm so tired of wandering. So yes, I'm choosing to believe in you and I am staying."
No one has ever done that. No one has chosen her, chosen to believe in her, to stand beside her. Even her own son turned his back on her, choosing to believe the worst. But, here was this woman who had every right and reason in the world to hate her, choosing her over her own parents; over the town the loved and adored her. When everyone else had turned away, turned against her, hating her once more, this amazing woman chose to stay. And she could only utter one word. "Why?"
"Because I'm the Savior and I'm meant to save everyone. Especially you."
A knot formed in Regina's throat and she had to work hard to swallow it, blinking back the sting of tears threatening to flood her eyes. "Thank you."
Emma reached out, taking Regina's hands in her own. "You don't have to thank me but, you're welcome."
