So…it's been a while. Truth be told, my life has been rather shit recently. What do I do when shit hits the fan? I write OUAT fanfiction. So, here we are. I was thinking about one of my oneshots, and thought I'd turn it into a mini story. So I hope you all enjoy.

Snow could hear Regina's cruel laugh ringing through the palace. She didn't care. What could her stepmother do to her now? She had taken her baby girl from her, and now it appeared she was slowly losing her husband too. Snow didn't even look up from Charming's face when she heard Regina enter Emma's nursery. Snow's eyes were overflowing with tears.

"Well, you've got what you wanted." Snow said quietly. "You won." Regina came closer, her smile only widening.

"Oh no, sweet Snow, this is only the beginning." Regina warned her. Snow did not respond. She could not taunt her anymore. Snow's heart was crushed. Regina crouched down and forced Snow to look at her. Snow's pain filled Regina with great joy, but like she said, this was only the beginning. Snow could hardly see her stepmother. Her vision was blurry with her tears. She could hear the thunder getting closer. The screams of her friends growing louder all around her. This was the end of their world as they knew it.

"Do whatever you want, Regina." Snow said, her voice broken. "You've already won. You've taken my daughter. I cannot save my husband. Whatever you do now, I've lost everything." Regina chuckled, still clutching Snow's chin.

"Oh Snow White. Pure, innocent, Snow White. Your husband is not dying. He will survive this injury." Regina told her. This puzzled Snow. All Regina had tried to do since Snow had met Charming was try and kill one or both of them. Why the sudden change of heart?

With a brief wave of her hand over her husband, Charming seemed to settle. The blood stopped flowing from his side. He looked in much less pain. Snow was deeply suspicious.

"What have you done to him?" Snow demanded.

"I've stopped him from dying." Regina responded coolly.

"Why?" Snow continued. She knew Regina wasn't doing this out of the goodness of her heart. She had a motive. Regina crouched down so she and Snow were eye level.

"Your husband will live, Snow. He will be in a permanent state of sleep, and there will be nothing you can do to wake him." Regina explained. Snow felt like Regina had stomped on her heart, but she wasn't done hurting her yet.

"Then there is your precious baby to think about." Regina continued dryly.

"Leave her out of this." Snow snarled. "You have already taken her parents from her for the next twenty seven and a half years. She will never see her father awake again. You leave her alone."

"Oh, I won't be touching her. I am many things, but not a child killer. She is safe and well. You'll see for yourself soon enough." Regina promised her. Snow didn't understand. Didn't Regina want to separate them for good? Wasn't Emma meant to be somewhere safe in the land without magic. Regina laughed once more.

"Did you really trust Rumplestiltskin?" Regina asked. "I didn't think even you were that naïve." Regina shook her head. She hadn't thought this would be so easy. "Your daughter is safe and sound where we will all be going shortly. Only, the thing is, you won't be able to care for her." Regina explained. "You and I will share the privilege of remembering who we are. Nobody else will remember anything. They will have completely different lives. Your precious princess will be a poor little orphan, abandoned by her worthless mother. Every day, you will be forced to live out the same day over and over again. Your little brat will forever be a screaming baby, wondering where her parents have gone. You won't be able to help her. She will forever live out the day you left her."

"No!" Snow demanded as the purple clouds began to snake their way into the room. "Please!" Snow begged. "Don't take them from me." Regina just cackled as the purple clouds began to swallow them all up. This was it. This was the beginning of Regina's never-ending happy ending.
