"Regina...Regina darling let me inside, please?" Robin begged, resting his head against the door. "Please just open up."

He could hear Regina crying on the other side of the door and it broke his heart.

"Leave me alone, Robin." She sniffed. "Just go."

"Regina I'm not leaving you alone, not when you're like this. I'll sit out here all night if I have to." He protested, his palm on the door now, attempting to reach out for her even though she couldn't see him.

There was a moment of silence before he heard her moving around in the room. He watched as the door knob turned and steadied himself as he almost fell into her as she pulled the door open.

Regina stepped aside so her could enter the room and shut the door behind him. "Thank you for letting me in my love."

"I couldn't have coped with you begging at my door all night Robin." She said, smiling weakly.

"I wasn't going to leave you like this Regina, you're hurting." He sighed, running his hand along her arm, squeezing her hand when he reached it.

"They're right though." She sighed, shrugging him off and heading towards the bed.

"Are they hell." Robin scoffed, "Emma's not the only one who can save this town you know, and considering she's currently the Dark One, we need someone strong, someone to lead us. We need you, Regina."

"I can't… I can't do it." Regina said, shaking her head. "They don't believe in me."

"I believe in you." Robin smiled, bringing his hand to her face to brush a stray hair out of the way. "I absolutely believe in you."

"What if that's not enough Robin?" Regina said, brushing her cheek against his palm.

"It only has to be enough for you, my darling." Robin smiled.

"What if people get hurt… what if you get hurt. I'm not her anymore Robin, I'm not the Evil Queen anymore I don't enjoy watching people suffer, anymore." Regina cried.

"Everyone knows that." Robin reassured, "They're just scared."

"So am I." Regina said quietly.

"And I am too, but you also have the strength to save this town." Robin said.

"Do you really think so?" Regina asked, "You really believe in me?"

"Absolutely." Robin smiled, "I love you."

Crouching over Robin's body she kissed his lips softly, "Robin please wake up. Please be okay." Regina said, pulling him closer.

"What happened?" He croaked, his eyes opening slowly.

"You…the Fury… never mind. You're okay now." Regina said, tears in her eyes.

"If anyone can save this town, it's you." Leroy said, standing behind her.

"See, people do believe in you." Robin whispered, his fingertips brushing her cheek.

"We'll see." Regina said, smiling weakly as she pulled Robin to his feet, wrapping her arm around his waist. "Let's just get you checked out first."

"I'm fine darling." Robin insisted.

"That's what everyone says, then something goes wrong. We're getting you checked out." Regina said firmly and Robin nodded.

"Yes ma'am." He grinned, winking at her when she turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"You saved us." Emma said blankly as she sipped on her hot chocolate.

"Pardon?" Regina said, doing the same – although she had chosen something a little stronger.

"Hook." Emma said, "It was you, you spoke to him, he sacrificed himself because of you." Emma said, tears in her eyes.

"I don't think you should be thanking me for convincing your beloved pirate to kill himself." Regina scoffed. She knew how much it hurt to lose the man you love.

"I'm not relieved he's dead, I'm in agony, I feel like my heart has been torn in two, but I'm grateful because you made him see the light. Not even I could do that, Regina." Emma explained, looking directly into her mug now.

"I guess I did." Regina said quietly.
