Chapter 25

Robin and Regina spent the afternoon like they used to be. They both were really happy now that everything was clear. After hanging out for a while with Robin, Regina decided that it was time for her to be in her house, because she needed to talk a few things with her mother.

It was true that Regina sometimes had more advantages than her step sister, Zelena, but her mother had been as strict as she was with Zelena. As she was walking to her house, Regina was making a list about the things that she wanted to talk with her mother.

The first thing was about the relationship of mother and daughter. Since the incident with Daniel, Regina had been asking herself if her mother really did love her. Weren't parents supposed to support their kids?

The second thing she wanted to talk about was Zelena's behavior. She was lucky that Robin had decided to not sue her, because he didn't want to be in that kind of trouble.

The last thing she wanted to talk about with her mother was Robin. She had been thinking, and telling her mother about his new lover would be the best. Her reaction would also answer the first topic that she wanted to talk.

When Regina entered in her house, she felt like it was colder than the outside. Maybe it was just her, and it was an illusion of what represented her family to her. She left her coat in the living room and then she started looking for her mother inside her house.

She found her mother in her office. When Regina entered in the office, Cora looked at her with a kind of sight that didn't express anything. She wasn't angry, or disappointed. She was just not expressing anything towards Regina.

Regina sat in the chair in front of her mother. She didn't tell her something like "we need to talk" or "there's something I have to tell you" but her mother knew that something was up. Since the incident in the morning with Zelena, and Regina following the guy who was supposed to be a stranger, she did know that Regina would look for her.

"do you love me, mom?" was the first thing that she asked to her mother as soon as she entered in the office. She had been asking herself that question for a long time, and now it was time for her to get the answer.

Cora frowned. When she saw her younger daughter entering to her office, she didn't think that she would end up answering a question like that. She wasn't the kind of parent that would hug her child, or tell them that she loved them, because it wasn't necessary for her, so when Regina asked her that question, she didn't know what to say.

"Regina, darling, why are you being so strange?" her mother asked her, avoiding the first question.

Regina was furious after her mother's question. "Do you or do you not love me?" she asked again. She didn't want to lose her time trying to get an answer.

"Yes, Regina, I do. I'm your mother," Cora said quickly, trying to get the point that Regina was looking for.

"I doesn't sound convincing for me, you know. there are a few things that shouldn't happen if you love me, mom," Regina started. "sometimes it looks like you don't care about me. Sometimes it also looks like you know everything about me, mom, when you really don't know," she added.

"Regina it's been a while since the thing about the guy you were dating happened. You need to stop ranting," Cora said raising her voice.

"I'm not here to cry about what you already did. I'm here because I'm hoping that you could change, and for the first time act like a mother should. You didn't care about me when you decided Daniel's destiny. You also don't care about Zelena, when you let her do crazy things just to please you," Regina said, adding Zelena to the conversation.

"Zelena almost killed somebody. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but she could have killed him," Regina said without mentioning Robin's name. "And you know why did she do it? Because she was trying to make her look good for you. She stole my diary and burned it, but while she did it, she started a fire. And there was when she almost killed somebody," Regina explained.

Cora was silent. These news weren't the kind of things that she was expecting to hear.

"she almost killed somebody that I care about," Regina added as her mother was still digesting the news about Zelena. "She almost killed somebody that I love," she added. Cora was now confused. "What she did made me take a wrong direction with my life, but now I took the right choice," she added.

"All these things you're telling me weren't the kind of things that I was expecting, Regina," Cora started. "I wont tell you that I'm going to be the best mother out there. I did some things in the past because I thought that those things were the right ones. Maybe I was wrong," she added. "I think I need to have a conversation with Zelena," said Cora.

"Yours and Zelena's insanity need to stop," Regina said.

"I understand," Cora said. "So was the guy who knocked on the door this morning the one you were talking about?" Cora asked to Regina, trying to make things better between them for the first time.

Regina smiled. Maybe her mother could understand. They spent a few hours talking about Regina and Robin's relationship, and maybe regina didn't tell her mother how did she met him, but those were things that just Robin and Regina would know.
