I know that there is the Elsa story, but I am wanting to focus on Outlaw Queen right now. So timeline wise, it may be a stretch to have the time frame with "nothing" happening. But bear with me.

Regina had been locked holed up in her house for a month. She didn't want to see anyone. She put a spell on her house that made it accessible to only those who she wanted to see. Snow, Charming, and Henry were the only ones who had seen her. She knew from their whispers when they thought that she was not listening, that people were started to ask about her.

She simply stopped functioning. Snow fed her, bathed her, and held her every time sobs would take over her body. She knew her pain was hurting Henry, she tried so hard when he was there to be somewhat normal, they watched movies, ate ice cream, and talked. He had insisted on staying with her all the time, but she insisted that since he had his memories back, that he needed to get back to school. So luckily that left her alone most of the day.

No matter how hard she tried, she could not help but let her mind wander to him. She knew how happy he must have been, having his wife back, his family whole again. She missed his desperately, and Roland. She missed the building relationship she was making with him. Playing with him and hearing his stories of the forrest. But now having his mother back, he would not need her.

Every moment she thought of Robin she would grasp her heart, struggle for breath. It was slowly killing her. She didn't know how much longer she could go one. It was becoming bad enough that she had started becoming sick in the mornings, and randomly through out the day. She had no appetite any more. Just about the thought of any food made her want to run the bathroom and vomit. Snow kept pleading with her to visit Whale, but she didn't want to even chance seeing him with her.

She heard the front door open and the sound of voices making their way up the stairs. However she noticed another figure had come with them. Regina glared at the blonde. As much as she tried to hate her, she just couldn't. But she was still hurt and mad.

"Regina, look, I'm..."

"Sorry?" She stared at Emma and gave her a look daring her to continue. "I know you are Emma, but sometimes things are meant to happen, even when they are sad and painful." She didn't know if she was now speaking of Marian dying or her coming back and Robin choosing Marian.

"Yes, I know that, and I feel awful, I sometimes just..."

"I don't want to hear your sad excuse. It is too late, it is what it is. Move on." Lowering her eyes sadly "Everyone else seems to have."

"Regina?" David asked hesitantly. He seemed to be asking permission for a certain topic which she had banned. But something this time made her nod her head. "I thought you should know that he has been asking about you every day. He said he had tried to come here but was banned from the permitter. But Roland has also been anxious to see you. He has been crying for you every day."

The knowledge of little Roland sent her heart beating. She never wanted to hurt him. She would love to see Roland, as painful as it would be, she would put that all aside just to see him smile and her one more time.

"Regina how are you feeling?" Snow asked trying to change the subject. Regina noticed that she had a little brown sack with her. Snow nodded to David who left the room and shut her bedroom door. Snow then seemed nervous as she approached the bed. "Regina I want you to listen to me with an open mind, and try not to panic completely okay?"

Regina frowned but nodded, not sure what she was getting at. Emma seemed to know what Snow was up to, and smiled sadly.

"Okay, can you answer a few questions, and I know they might be awkward, and not any of our business. But please try." Regina just stared at her with her confirmation. "Okay have you and Robin been intimate at all?"

Regina had to admit that was the last thing she thought she would ask. Maybe something about her state of mind or her future. But that? "Uhm, yes."

Emma sat down on the other side of her feet. "Did you use any protection?" She gave her a nervous look, and Regina did not like where this was going.

"No, but, it only happened once, well more than once, but it was just one night slash morning.." She could feel her panic settling in. She could not be... there was no way.

"Regina," Snow put her hand on her knee, "when was your last period?" Finally revealing what was in the bag. Regina stared at the test, trying to find every possible reason to not take it.

"Maybe it is just stress, I mean, what has happened lately, I have not been in the best state, and..." Feeling her shortness of breath start.

"Your right maybe it is, but your symptoms otherwise would suggest, being pregnant. Just take the test and then we will know for sure." Snow handed her the test and smiled sadly. Giving her strength through their new friendship. Regina made her way to her bathroom and shut the door. She didn't register what she was doing, just washed her hands and opened the door.

"Well?" Emma asked.

Regina shook her head. "I can't look, I can't. Please you look for me?" She grabbed Snow's hands and Emma made her way into the bathroom. She could not be pregnant. That would be the absolute last thing that she needed. She could not be a single mother again. She could. But she had always thought that when she had a real baby of her own, that she would have her love next to her. Not have the scenario of being the other woman.

Emma walked out and grabbed Regina in a hug. Regina knew from her hug what it said. She gasped has her legs gave out and fell to the ground. She sobbed hard. Harder then she had in a while.

"Regina we are going to get through this, you are strong and loved by many." Snow kissed her hair and held her. Snow and Emma both cried with her. Both know full well about pain, hurt and worry when it came with pregnancy. She was going to need them for this. "You are not alone, Robin will be thrilled."

Regina shook her head "No! He cannot know."

"But Regina! You can't keep..." Snow started frantically

"NO! I can't, no I won't do this to him. I will not be one of those woman who break up a family again. I will not make him feel quilt to choose me just because I am pregnant."

Snow started to rebuttal but Emma stepped in "I agree with Regina. I think him knowing would only cause more tension and more hurt. Plus there is something else that only complicates things. "

Both Regina and Snow looked at Emma confused. What could possibly make things worse?

"Regina, I have been wanting to tell you this since that night we came back with Marian, but I am have not had the guts or the chance to. But it seems now is going to force this to come to light."

"Everything going okay?" The three looked up to see David poking his head in. Snow quickly motioned for him to come in but to be quiet.

"What is it Emma?" Regina asked nervously.

"When I was in the Enchanted forrest, in the past. I first saw you threatening a village, if they did not help you find Snow White, you had a prisoner with you. You used them as a example to the village if they did not tell the truth about Snow's whereabouts. The prisoner was taken to your castle. To be executed." Emma looked at Regina sadly hoping that she would put the pieces together.

"I am aware and saddened that I was so far gone that I hurt innocent people." Looking at Snow with regret. Snow only smiled and held her hands. They had already forgiven each other for everything. So what was Emma getting at. "But I don't understand what this has to do with now."

"At some point there, I became your prisoner too." Regina gasped and started to asked how but Emma kept going. "While I was in the dungeons I saw the prisoner you had earlier with the village. She told me that she was in prison for knowing Snow's whereabouts but refused to tell you, believing Snow to innocent. She said she was to executed the next morning." Emma hated herself for what she was about to tell Regina. "Regina, that prisoner was, Marian."

Regina gasped and started hyperventilating. "No, no, no no no, NO!" She felt her heart breaking all over again, her body was gasping for breath. She felt a three of them trying to calm her down, but no she could not be comforted. Not when she just realized she was the reason Robin's wife died originally. She was the reason he lost his wife. Suddenly Tinkerbell's words came rushing back. ("You not only ruined your happy ending, you ruined his.") She did not realize that by not going in that tavern, that her quest on the path of revenge would eventually lead her to be the murder of his wife. She really was the epitome of...evil.

Robin would never forgive her, not when he realizes that she was the reason that his wife died in the first place. Regina felt the abyss pulling her under again. She felt her world start to spin and became aware of the frantic shouts of her friends. But nothing once again could pull her out of the abyss that has become her world.

Somewhere in the forrest, another figure dropped to the ground clutching his chest, feeling the sudden over powering of pain. Something was wrong. Something was causing his heart to feel like it was being ripped into shreds. Tears filled his eyes and he gasped out one word. "Regina."
