An hour had passed since they had left the Mills' household and they were currently trying to settle into their rooms at Granny's Inn, Zelena requested that they stay there for night rather than try and catch a last minute flight and Emma agreed. They had been through too much tonight and she doubted that any of them were in the right state of mind. When they arrived at the Inn, Emma paid for conjoining rooms so that they weren't all over the place and the old lady behind the counter was happy to oblige when she saw that Regina was with them so that's how they went, Emma and Zelena in one room with Regina and Henry in the other.

Emma was currently lying beside her fiancé, Zelena's head on her chest as the blonde gently stroked her hair as a way of comforting her. It was completely silent until Zelena spoke out.

"I love you so much," she whispered into the darkness.

Emma smiled sadly, as much as she hated it, she was breaking this woman's heart and it was killing her inside. "I love you too..." She inhaled deeply before continuing, "I'm so sorry, Zelena, I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you, I-" Zelena cut her off with a kiss.

"Please don't do that," she began as she pulled away from the kiss, "There's nothing you could have done, all that matters is that you're here with me now and you're about to make me the happiest woman in the world."

It pained Emma to hear to those words, especially the ones that followed them.

"Emma, when we get back to New York I want us to get married," she realised that Emma was probably surprised at that so she continued, "Not straight away, we'll get everything else sorted and then we can get married in a few months time."

Emma inhaled deeply and kissed Zelena's head, "If that's really what you want-" Again, she was cut off by Zelena.

"Emma, I just want this all to be over and start again as your wife... You're the best thing that's ever happened to me." She whispered the last part.

That was it. The blonde felt her eyes fill with tears, she had to do something. She had to do the right thing. Instead of responding verbally, she just kissed the top of Zelena's head again and held her tighter to her, hoping that the redhead wouldn't question her. Luckily for Emma, Zelena appeared to be rather satisfied in her fiancé's arms and wrapped her arm around Emma's torso. It only took a few moments for the redhead to fall asleep but once Emma was certain that she wouldn't wake, she carefully extracted herself from the bed and headed towards the door that would take her into Regina's room, knocking quietly. Within seconds, she heard a soft "Come in" and quietly entered the room, giving Regina a soft smile as she shut the door behind her. Henry was sound asleep in the bed besides his mother whilst Regina lay there stroking his head. She clearly couldn't sleep either.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked softly.

Regina looked up at her lover with watery eyes, Emma held her arms out for her and Regina immediately got up off the bed and wrapped her arms around Emma's neck whilst the blonde's arms tightened around her waist. Emma could feel her neck getting wetter with Regina's tears so she pulled back slightly, cupped her face and gently wiped away her tears. Even bare faced, Regina was beautiful. Instead of saying anything, the blonde leaned forward to kiss her but Regina quickly pulled away, placing her hands on Emma's shoulders to prevent her from coming any closer.

"We can't do this, Emma." Emma sighed sadly at this and looked away. "You're marrying my sister, you shouldn't even be in here right-"

"Regina, I choose you!" Emma blurted out to which Regina's eyes widened. The blonde looked back into her eyes and carried on, "I choose you and it kills me knowing that I can't be with you. Regina, I love Zelena, believe me, I do but then I met you and I can't even begin to describe how you made me feel. There's nothing I want more than to get on that plane with you and watch everything disappear around us but I can't because I made a promise to your sister!"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you deserve to know that after all of this, I'm choosing you... Even if I can't have you... Because I love-"

Regina was quick to cover Emma's mouth with her hand; she wasn't ready to hear those words leave her mouth, not when she was going to lose her. When she was sure that Emma wouldn't say them, she removed her hand.

"You should go, Emma." The brunette whispered as she turned away from the younger woman. "Go home, get married and spend the rest of your life with Zelena, she deserves her happiness."

Emma swallowed the lump in throat. She knew that she had to be with Zelena, that she promised to be her happy ending but she couldn't help but fall in love with Regina. The blonde knew that staying with Zelena was the right thing to do but it didn't feel right, maybe overtime things would go back to the way they were between them.

"I'll drive you to the airport tomorrow, don't worry about calling a cab," Emma wasn't expecting a response so she quietly opened up the door, turning to look at Regina one last time, "Sweet dreams, Regina." She whispered as she closed the door.

As soon as Emma had left the room, Regina burst out into heavy sobs before she covered her mouth with her hand as to muffle the sound of her cries. She had no right to be crying over someone who wasn't and would never be hers.

On the other side of the door, Emma closed her eyes tightly and let out a breath. When she opened her eyes, she made her way back to her bed and climbed in beside Zelena, wrapping her arms around her and locking her in the embrace they were previously in. The blonde gently stroked her fiancé's hair and tried to soothe herself to sleep, she knew she wouldn't get much tonight but a few hours were better than none. However, unbeknownst to her and Regina, Zelena was also awake and heard their conversation through the door but as soon as the redhead heard Emma coming back, she immediately shut her eyes and pretended to be asleep, trying her best not to let her tears fall.
