A/N: SEQUEL is coming! See below for details.

Per usual, I do not own any of the characters shown below, This is a work of fiction and used solely in a fictitious manner. All credit goes to the creators and producers of OUAT.

Emma slowly traveled to Regina's lithe and lifeless body. Saltwater breaching their ducts took in Regina's arm laying off, something shimmering from her hand, and Regina closed off to the world.

Emma wishing this was not happening, pleading to every god out in the realms that she had not lost Regina. She gathered the pin carefully and sets it on the coffee table next to the beaker; she sets a protection field to keep the items together and set in place. Emma kneed aside Regina and lifted her arm from the side, a trembling hand set Regina's hand atop of the one placed below her sternum. Emma sob ridden gathered Regina's body and cradled her to her chest. Emma placed one hand behind Regina's back and the other behind her head and rocked. "No, no, no, Regina, no," cried Emma, "Please, wake up... Gina." More sobs racked Emma's body.

She fixed Regina's body to her right arm and with her left she shuffled the coffee brown locks away from her face, Emma whispered to her ear and locks, "Wake up, you can't leave us. Please. He is sorry. He is sorry. Please. Please. Please. Please." Emma continued to chant and rock until she felt a warm hand on her shoulder, her hazel eyes fixed onto blue eyes; with seizing lips, she whispered, "Please. Please… Zee wake her." Glimmering blue fixed on coffee locks, lowers her forehead to Regina's hair, she brokenly mumbled, "I can't."

Once again, whimpers and sobs break through Emma. Her whole body shook and trembled. Ruby stood back with tears and watched as a lover and sister cried over her friend. Ruby's inner wolf and emotions took over as she transformed and howled a mourning cry for her friend, for the one who understood her. Ruby's howl reached Granny's ears and she dropped a client's coffee refill. The cry hurt her terribly as she has not heard a broken howl in many, many years.

Everything momentarily stopped inside the diner, as the people looked upon Granny who had begun to shed her own mourning tears. She patted her evening waitress/manager. "Hold the fort." Was all Granny could say. She exited the diner and walked over to the Sheriff's station. In seeing David, Granny told him they needed to drive to the mausoleum, as that was the last location Ruby had checked in with in her earlier searches. Not one to disobey an order from Granny, he grabbed the patrol keys and they both headed out to Regina's mausoleum, waiting for someone to explain why.

In entering the mausoleum and following the cries with the help of Granny, he understands. He surveys the scene of his beloved family mourning their missing family member. He too began to shed a tear before he gathered all his courage and kneed behind Emma. Emma who at this point has rested Regina back on the chaise, but has her left arm wrapped around her torso and face curled into Regina's ribs as heartbreak and tears continued to pound her body.

"Sweetheart, let go. Honey, l-let go. I've got you. I've got you," David calmly whispered to Emma. However, it doesn't go over well, as Emma buried herself further into Regina and her grip tightened.

All of a sudden broken words begun to rung out inside the lilac room, softly and shaken, Emma sung.

She is imperfect, but she tries

She is good, but she lies

She is hard on herself

She is broken and won't ask for help

She is messy, but she is kind

She is lonely most of the time

She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie

She is gone, but she used to be mine

In Emma finishing the verse, she had risen and held her forehead to Regina's, she once again whispered, "She is gone, but she used to be mine…"

A/N: If you finished, thank you for taking your time in reading my fic. This is my first fanfic story out of many that I have hidden. I hope to share them with you soon.

As for this particular my original thoughts where to end here. I've decided to do a small sequel but due to Volcanic eruptions occurring I will need to wait until I continue to write, draft, and publish more chapters.

Thanks for reading and I will post an update to let you know when the sequel is here. :)
