It's late but it's here!

The song Regina sings is from the musical Wicked and it's called "As long as you're mine".

Once more I don't own the characters or the song.

Enjoy and pleaseee review.

Regina was sitting on Emma's bed looking at the girl who was sleeping with the head on her lap, the sight of the blonde sleeping so close to her made her heart warm.

The brunette started caressing Emma's blonde hair smiling gently, Regina closed her eyes for a moment, breathing deeply, trying to catch Emma's essence.

"Kiss me too fiercely

Hold me too tight

I need help believing

You're with me tonight"

Regina was singing softly, her voice that had started weak was now floating in the air gracefully, powerful. She had the most beautiful voice Emma had ever heard, the blonde was awake but she kept her eyes shut, enjoying the moment, that angelical voice singing, singing for her, singing about her, about them.

"My wildest dreamings

Could not foresee

Lying beside you

With you wanting me."

Emma knew that song and she had to control herself to not get up and kiss the brunette, she wanted to keep hearing that beautiful voice, she was trapped in the magic that was floating between them Love Emma thought to herself oh that's how love feels after all.

"Just for this moment

As long as your mine

I've lost all resistance

And crossed some borderline"

Regina was pouring all her heart on that song, even though she knew Emma couldn't hear her, or so she thought. Everything with Emma by her side seemed so perfect, so right. The words were leaving her lips naturally confessing to the world what she had knew for so long, confessing that she loved Emma.

And if it turns out

It's over too fast

I'll make every last moment to last

As long as your mine"

"As long as your mine" Regina repeated leaning to kiss Emma forehead with tears falling down her face, so much pain, so much time alone, feeling nothing, feeling empty and there she was loving that blonde girl and having her loving her back.

Emma didn't move, she was breathing carefully, afraid of breaking that moment that seemed to be endless.

Finally Emma fell asleep indeed with Regina by her side and she had the sweetest dream ever, a dream she promised to herself she would always remember, but never tell, afraid that it would vanish in the air just for being translated into words.

Regina fell asleep next and for a while she was happier than she had ever been, that was until her phone wake her up.

The brunette still dizzy reached the phone and answered the call.

"Regina" she said quickly.

"It's done dear" Gold answered.

Hearing those words made Regina wake up completely and suddenly something came over her, she was frozen, unable to say anything at all.

"Are you sure?" she let out when she managed to control herself and stop trembling.

The voice took a few seconds to answer firmly "Yes, she's dead" the cold in Gold's voice made Regina understand once more why did her mother like him so much.

Without an other word she hung up and she felt broken, tears running down her face while she tried to convince herself that she had done the right thing, Zelena had almost killed Emma and she needed to be stopped, but not even that seemed to be able to calm the pain in her chest.

She had killed someone, not directly but she was the reason why Zelena was dead and that was one thing she knew she could never forget or forgive.

Then, once more, she looked down at Emma sleeping and she understood that no matter how broken killing Zelena had left her, no matter how much regret she was feeling inside her chest, Emma was worth the angst, the pain. Emma was everything to her in that moment and not hell, not heaven and surely not Zelena would ever be able to take Emma away to hurt her.

That however didn't stop the tears from falling and Regina accepted it.

"I'll protect you Emma even if it means that you could hate me, I will not let anyone hurt you" she whispered to the girl. It was more than a promise.

When the morning came Emma woke up with a jump fearing that she would not find Regina there but she did. Regina was there beside her. Looking at the brunette, Emma realized that she had been crying.

"Hi" Emma said "Did you sleep?" she asked concerned.

Regina smiled weakly "Hey, not much" she answered sincerely "I think I was hypnotized watching you sleep" it wasn't completely a lie.

Emma touched Regina's chin gently "what's wrong?"

"Nothing Emma" this time the brunette was lying.

The blonde shook her head "you can't lie to me, with you Regina I always when you're telling the truth"

"How?" it was a simple and quick question so Emma answered quickly too.

"I can see it in your eyes" and when the words left her mouth Regina's lips crashed into Emma's and the blonde felt her face wet, Regina was crying and all Emma could do was kiss her, love her and wait for her to calm down.

When the kiss ended Emma caressed Regina's cheek waiting for the brunette to talk, not wanting to force her, she knew that force with Regina was never a good idea.

"I've done something that will make you stop loving me" Regina let out walking away from Emma.

Emma was clueless "There is nothing you could have done that would make me stop loving you"

Regina looked at Emma and smiled sadly "Zelena is dead, I killed her"

Everything around Emma seemed to be falling apart.
