*Storybrooke*
The truck pulled up to Regina's walkway and David got out to open the door for Regina. They walked up to the porch and stood looking at eachother. It was quiet, too quiet, and Regina decided that now might be the best time to ask.
"Can I ask you something, David? "
"Ask away. " David said with a smile on his face.
"What is this?" Regina asked sadly while pointing to him and then back to herself.
"What is what? "
"This! Us? What are we doing? "
No answer.
"We can't keep this up forever. You're in love with Mary Margaret and you're still married to Kathryn. I just don't think we should continue on with this relationship."
She coughed heavily and David had to clear his throat.
"Are you okay?" He also felt a tickle in his throat.
"I think I'm getting sick. My throat hurts and I can't stop coughing. "
"I noticed that at Granny's. I also feel a little under the weather. Do you think it's from the rain last night?"
"Probably, but can you answer my question? "
"I don't know, I'm going through a lot right now."
Regina turned her head away with a disappointed look on her face."I knew you would say that. "
"Look, I'm really sorry Regina, but I'm really confused right now and I don't know how to choose. It's just too complicated."
Regina snapped her head at him angrily, tears in her eyes.
"I-"
"You know what David! I don't want to hear it anymore! We're done! You want to move to Kathryn's apartment in Boston? Go right ahead! You won't be missed!"
"Regina, I-"
"Go! Now!"
David stayed and watched her eyes tear up some more as his did as well. He opened his mouth to say something, but he changed his mind and David left, Regina went inside.
Expecting to cry, Regina was surprised to find that she couldn't cry, but she thought about what she should do. She couldn't have the curse breaking now and she needed to get rid of "The Savior."
"I know what I should do."
Hours later, Regina was in the kitchen making an apple turnover for Emma. The poison in the apple would put her under the sleeping curse and the curse would never be broken. She'd never have to see David with Mary Margaret again and he would move to Boston. Or at least try.
There was a knock at the door just as Regina finished the turnover. "Who could that be?" She wondered.
She opened the door.
"Mr. Gold? What are you doing here?"
"I saw you and David earlier this afternoon with Henry. Would you mind telling me what's going on there?"
"Nothing. He's moving to Boston and Henry and him have become so close, I decided it'd be nice to let them have a day together to say their goodbyes. That's all."
"Oh really? "
"Really. "
She coughed.
"That's quite a mean cough you've got there, Dearie. I saw David coughing just like that not too long ago. That's the kind of cough that would come from standing in the rain too long."
Mr. Gold shot a sceptical look at Regina and decided he wouldn't tell her that he saw them kissing in the rain the night before.
"Is there an important reason you came here, or is that it?"
"Oh no, Dearie. That's it."
Mr. Gold left and Regina closed the door behind him. "I wonder if anyone else noticed we were both coughing? " she asked herself. The phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Regina? "
"Yes?"
"This is Mary Margaret. "
"What can I do for you, Miss Blanchard? Make it quick. I've got more important things I need to be doing."
"Ok. I was just wondering, what's going on between you and David? "
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean."
"Well, he just told me he's leaving and when I got upset I went to Granny's to clear my head. Ruby told me that you two were there earlier with Henry and it looked like the two of you were together. Is that true?"
"Yes it is true, we were at Granny's, but there's nothing going on between us."
"Oh." Mary Margaret sounded as though she didn't believe Regina.
"Is that all, Miss Blanchard? Like I said I-"
"You've got stuff to do, I know."
"Yes."
"Well, sorry to bother you. I was just curious, that's all."
"Well, now you know."
"Alright, well, bye."
Regina hung up before she even heard the end of her last sentence. The doorbell rang again. "Ugh! I'm busy, people! Trying to save my curse here." Regina thought to herself. She opened the door.
"Miss Swan, I was just about to call you. Please, do come in."
Emma came in and told Regina that she was leaving, but she would like to see Henry whenever she wanted to. Regina didn't like that answer at all, but she decided to be cordial and give her the turnover before it was too late.
After Emma left, Regina couldn't believe the afternoon she'd had so far."This day couldn't get any worse."
She knew this had to be true. It could only get better from here on out, because Emma would eat that poisonous apple, and all of Regina's problems would be solved. Or so she thought.
Emma had just finished packing when she heard a knock at the door. It was Henry. She opened it and let him in. He became angry with her for leaving and not believing him about The Enchanted Forest and all the fairytale characters. As he hugged her 'goodbye', he noticed the apple turnover on the counter.
"What's that?"
"An apple turnover your mother gave to me."
"You can't eat that! "
"Why not?"
"It's poisoned! "
"Henry, it's not poisoned!"
"Yes it is!"
Henry grabbed the turnover.
"You may not believe in me, but I believe in you."
Henry took a bite. Nothing happened.
"See! I told you, would you like some ice cream with tha-"
Henry collapsed on the floor.
"Henry?!"
He was right.
Regina was sitting at home, waiting to hear that Emma had become unconscious and her curse would be safe. The phone rang. She answered.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mayor Mills?"
"Yes. Who is this?"
"This is the hospital. We need you to come in immediately."
"What happened? "Regina automatically believed it would be Emma., but why did they call her?
"You're son is here. We've just sent him in to the O.R."
"What? How is that possible? What happened? Is he okay?" Regina was now panicking.
"We're not sure, but he's unconscious and we're doing everything we can."
"I'm on my way!"
Earlier, Regina said this day couldn't get any worse... she was wrong.
