I am still around in case anyone was wondering. I got busy with my senior year of college and now my first year of teaching. There is a week left in the school year and I plan to finish several fics, including another chapter for both Her Family and We Will Always Find Each Other.

This takes place between Zelena joining Regina on the floor and the funeral. Zelena and Regina may seem OOC but remember both just lost the men they loved and have recently rediscovered the bond they shared as children.

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Clutching Robin to her, Regina grieved her loss. Once again, her love had been taken from her. This time, however, her soulmate was the one taken. This time, she felt like a part of her had been ripped out of her body. A hand was hesitantly placed on her shoulder. She turned to see Zelena next to her. Her sister who had just killed her own true love, the man who had murdered Robin. Regina shifted to hold the redhead close as they cried.

This was how Emma found them. Clutching each other next to Robin's still body, the baby on the table, and a strange pile of dust across the room. She quickly called for an ambulance and her parents. Surely her mother would know what to do.

The baby began to fuss and Emma took a step toward her, ready to assist the two women in the only way she knew how. Zelena sprang to her feet upon seeing the movement. "You stay away." she hissed, gathering the infant in her arms before rejoining Regina in the floor.

The girl continued to fuss, her cries growing louder. Zelena jiggled her, attempting to soothe her, while trying to comfort her sister at the same time. The effort proved futile as they cries continued to strengthen.

"She's hungry." came from beside her. Zelena turned to Regina who forced a grim smile. "or needs a diaper change."

Zelena nodded. She checked the diaper and upon finding it clean, magicked a bottle into her hand. She noticed Regina flinch and wanted to reassure her but was unable to while feeding the baby. She settled on words she knew would mean nothing. "We will get through this, I promise."

"Regina..." Emma started.

"Leave her alone," Zelena warned. "Just leave her alone."

"This doesn't concern you." Emma retorted.

"Regina is my sister." she argued, the urge to protect her sister from the Savior strong. She blamed the woman for both losses. "She just lost her soulmate, at the power of the man I love. Both are gone now, so yes, it does concern me."

At this moment everyone else arrived. The paramedics came in first, quickly followed by Snow and David. The medics quickly bent over, edging past an frozen Regina as Zelena stood and stepped back. Her daughter finished the bottle so she shifted her up to burp. "Regina, you're blocking them." she told the brunette, encouraging her to move as well.

When the former Evil Queen remained still, Snow attempted to help her up but was shrugged off. Zelena slowly held the baby out to the princess, if Regina trusted her so would Zelena. "Will you hold her?" she asked.

Once Snow had the infant, Zelena knelt down behind her sister. "Come on Regina. We have to let them work. They will take good care of Robin, I promise." she reached out and carefully pulled her sister's hands away from the fallen man. She held them in her own tightly as the medics moved Robin and Regina struggled to pull away. "Let them do their job."

As Robin's body was lifted Zelena managed to urge Regina to her feet and wrap her arms around the younger woman's waist. Regina turned to her sister, burying her face against the redhead's neck. She was unable to watch her soulmate being removed. She felt Zelena tighten her grip and was thankful they were a family.

"Zelena?" she whispered.

"Yes?"

"I'm glad you're here."

"You're my sister," was the response. "I'll always be here for you."

"Thank you," she murmured. "Can we go home?"

We? Home? Zelena wanted to question her sister, Regina lived in the mansion while all Zelena had was a farmhouse. Instead, she just nodded. "Of course."

After taking her daughter back from Snow, Zelena held the baby in one arm and wrapping the other around Regina's waist, transported them to the mansion. She took in her sister's tired and somewhat nervous appearance. "You need to rest. Lets go upstairs."

"There's a bassinet in my room." Regina's voice cracked. "Rob...we wanted to keep the baby close."

"Thank you for being so willing to care for my daughter," Zelena said, knowing the decision would have been difficult for her sister, due to her inability to have a child as well as the circumstances leading to this child's existence. "Especially after everything I've done to both of you."

"She's innocent."

Clasping Zelena's hand, Regina led her upstairs and to the master bedroom. At the door, however, she froze, unable to step inside the room.

A quick wave of her hand caused the bassinet to move from beside the bed to the door, prompting another flinch from Regina. Zelena laid the baby down and turned to her sister, making a mental note to address the anxiety the other woman had suddenly developed around magic. "Come on, Regina. You need to change and get some rest. Go get ready to lie down while I prepare the bed."

The brunette silently did as she was instructed and took a seat on the edge of the bed, watching her sister finish changing the baby's diaper. The girl was now fatherless and Roland... She sprang to her feet and started for the door.

"Regina?" Zelena gasped in surprise. "Where are you going?"

"Roland. I have to tell Roland."

"Not right now. You are not in the right frame of mind. You need to rest first. Go lie down."

The mayor hesitated. "Will...will you...stay with me?"

Zelena blinked. Did Regina really believe she would just leave? That she would just abandon her grieving sister?

Regina mistook her silence as a refusal. She let out a sigh as she went to the bed. "Never mind. Forget I asked."

"No." Zelena followed her. "I was shocked that you even felt the need to ask me. Of course I'm staying."

Regina settled into the bed before folding the sheets back for her sister to join her. After checking to see that her daughter was alright, the redhead slid in next to the younger woman. Seeing tears once again filling Regina's' eyes, Zelena pulled her younger sister into her arms. She knew she needed to grieve as well but right now her sister needed her to be strong. She would breakdown later.

I have a second chapter planned for this, with the two talking about Zelena choosing her sister, Regina's response to Zelena using magic, and Zelena breaking down. Maybe two more chapters.
