"I've got you. I'm right here, sweetheart." Regina whispers.

Tears start to stream over Emma's cheeks. It has been a long time since she cried, she always hides away her feelings.

Regina keeps holding Emma into her arms. "It's alright. It's alright." she keeps whispering.

"You still want me?" Emma finally speaks, her voice is very very soft

"I'll always want you, sweetheart. I love you."

These words make Emma break down. She can't hold it in any longer. The tears keep streaming over her cheeks. Her heart feels warm, because someone added love to it.

Tears stream down Regina's face as well. "Break the curse, Emma. The entire curse. You can do it." she whispers.

"Help me," Emma whispers and he lays her hand in her mother's. She squeezes it, softly at first but then harder. Power spreads from their fingertips.

Regina helps her daughter to lift up The Curse. Light energy spreads over the whole land.

When the last piece of energy flows out, Emma passes away again. Her body collapses and she stays unconscious.

Regina gets up, carrying Emma in her arms. She walks her all the way to Robin's house, Robin next to her.

"Let me carry her," Robin says. He takes over Emma, so Regina can walk freely.

"Thank you." Regina whispers. When they get home, Regina tucks Emma into her own bed. She lays down next to her and holds her in her arms again.

Robin takes care of the kids downstairs. While he leaves Emma and Regina together.

Regina keeps holding Emma into her arms, even when she falls asleep herself. She wakes up early the next morning. Emma is still sleeping. Regina walks downstairs and makes breakfast for everyone.

"What did you do yesterday?" Glenna asks.

"Goodmorning, sweetie." Regina smiles. "I went to pick up Emma and I've brought her with me."

"The princess is here?" Glenna says, "so I can thank her for the book then." She smiles.

Regina smiles again. "You can, later today, alright? Emma is not feeling very well right now."

"Yes of course I can wait," Glenna says. They enjoy breakfast together. When they're almost finished Emma comes down. She keeps standing in the doorway, not saying a thing, only staring. She has the ribbon Julie made for her tied in her hair.

Regina smiles brightly. "Do you want to join us, Emma?" She winks and points at the open place beside her.

Emma slowly walks to the empty chair next to her mother. She feels bad in her beautiful dress, she feels bad about everything.

Regina doesn't mention the dress. "Did you have a good night's sleep?" she asks softly.

Emma only nods.

Regina gives her a warm hug. She doesn't hesitate, even though the other children keep staring at them.

Emma accepts but doesn't return the hug.

Regina keeps smiling when she lets go of her little girl. "It's going to be alright, Emma. Everything is going to be alright. I'm here for you. I'll always will." She offers Emma some breakfast.

Emma doesn't eat. She only stares and it's hard to take in her mother's kind words.

Regina doesn't push Emma. When she notices the rest of the children are done, she looks at Robin. "Can you take care of the kids this morning?" she softly asks him.

"Yeah," Robin nods. "Hunting lessons in ten minutes!" he shouts with a smile then and all the children (except Emma) laugh and run off to get themselves done.

Regina giggles. She gives Robin a quick kiss before she turns her attention back to Emma. "Maybe you're more comfortable when it's just the two of us?" she asks softly.

"You don't have to do this," Emma whispers. She doesn't want her mother to give up her precious time and love for her.

"I don't. But I want to." Regina softly smiles. She hugs Emma again.

"Stop," Emma says, she looks her mother into her eyes, frightened. "I ruined your life and you're acting like I saved it...".

"You forget I have ruined quite some lives myself. Everyone deserves a second chance, Emma."

"You're right," Emma says, "but I don't want a second chance, because I can't do it alone," he admits, "I don't want to bother other. I don't want to waste their time and affords."
She doesn't know why she is so calm all of a sudden, but she is.

"You're not alone. You have me." Regina just whispers.

"But I don't want to waste your time," Emma says with a sigh, "I don't want you to give up things for me...".

"I won't, Emma. And taking care of you is a far cry from wasting my time. I love you. Nothing for you is too much."

"But I just ruined your life! I don't understand...".

"You will, once you have children of your own." Regina smiles. She hugs Emma again.

Emma keeps silent. She makes a little note appear in her hand, not able to speak anymore: - how did you deal with it? -

"With what exactly, Emma?" Regina wants to know.

-with all the people hating you-

"I tried the best I could to earn their forgiveness. I'm not going to lie. It was hard. But it was also worth it."

-why was it worth it?- She likes the darkness, why would it be worth it to give it up...?

"The darkness is very tempting. It promises you the world and more. But those are lies. You end up all alone. Darkness doesn't keep you warm at night. Love does."

Emma keeps silent, thinking about this.

Regina gives Emma her time, to figure this out on her own.

-but what if I lost my love. If I give up my darkness I'll have nothing-

"There are some loves you'll lose, but never the true ones. I promise."

"How can you promise that?" she now whispers.

"Because Robin, Snow, Henry and I will always love you, Emma."

Emma startles when she hears the names o Snow and Henry. "I wouldn't be so sure about that," she whispers, creating a distance between her and her mother.

"I'm sure I will always love you, as will Robin." Regina softly corrects herself. "I can promise you that."

Emma fakes a smile and hides her face behind her hands.

"Tell me, Emma. What are you thinking about?"

"I..." Emma starts but then she turns away from her mother.

"Emma? You can tell me anything." Regina whispers.

Emma takes a deep breath.

Regina patiently waits. She doesn't want to rush her daughter.

"I killed Snow's child," she says very quickly and very softy, almost unhearable.

Regina just nodds. "Why?" she whispers.

Emma shrugs.

"You must have had a reason."

"I felt like it," Emma says, "I couldn't bare it that she smiles and laughed all day, it was disgusting."

Regina can't help but smile a little bit. "Snow does have a very optimistic personality."

"It's sickening," Emma says, leaning with her elbows on her knees.

"She does love you, you know?"

"No I don't" Emma says.

"Well, she does. She doesn't always know how to show it the right way, but neither do I."

"I just killed her daughter," Emma says.

"You did. But there is no going back. You need to accept what you did and try to find a way to live with it. Like me."

"Or you just kill me now and get over it."

Regina shakes her head. "That's not going to happen. You can live through this, Emma. I could. So can you."

"Yeah and you're life is so good," Emma says sarcastically, she turns away again.

"It is. Because I've got you and Robin."

"I brought you so much happiness, yeah I see," Emma says at the same tone.

"Emma. Please." Regina whispers.

"What?" Emma says, "it's true."

"I love you, Emma. I'll always will."

"Stop saying that!"

Regina remains silent now. She just looks at Emma.

Emma turns away from her. "Just let me go, You'll forget me one day. You can have new kids with Robin, and you can take care of the kids you have. Maybe one day you'll even forget I killed their parents...".

"Why can't you accept the fact that I love you, Emma? Why is that so hard?"

"I can ask you the same," Emma says, not wanting to answer that question "why can't you just let me go and live a happy life with the others?"

"Because I don't give up on the people I love. Including you."

"Stop saying you love me!"

"Why?"

"Just stop!" Emma shouts and she covers her ears with her hands.

Regina remains silent now and gives Emma time to get herself back together.

Emma doesn't calm down. She can't breathe and closes her eyes. Voices in her head start shouting and she doesn't dare to open her eyes again.

Regina knows the pull of darkness better than anyone. She doesn't hesitate and takes Emma into her arms, giving her warmth and love.

"Leave me alone!" Emma shouts, starting to panic.

"No." Regina whispers. "I won't let you fight the darkness alone. Not anymore. I'm right here, Emma, your mother is right here."

"No no no no," Emma whispers, making herself as small as possible.

Regina doesn't let go of Emma.

"The walls..." Emma whispers. The panic is extreme.

"Which walls, Emma?" Regina asks softly.

"The walls are bleeding," she whispers. She is completely out of her mind now. "The walls are bleeding, the walls are bleeding," she keeps whispering.

Regina keeps holding Emma into her arms. "I'm right here. Focus on me, Emma. Focus on my voice." She takes a deep breath. "Once upon a time..." Regina starts to tell a small story.

"They're bleeding mom, you need to run. It will kill us!" Her whole body is shaking.

"I'm not going anywhere. It's alright. We're safe, I promise."

"NO!"

Regina tries to poof the both of them out of Robin's house and into the garden. It works.

Emma starts to cry. She has had this before, when she was alone in the castle, but now someone is holding her. "Let me go," she whispers and she collapses.

"No. You're not alone, Emma. I'm right here." Regina whispers, still holding Emma into her arms.

"Please let me go," Emma cries.

"No. You're not alone. You're not alone, Emma."

Emma can't fight any longer.

"That's good. You focus on me, sweetheart. I'm right here."

"No, no, please no," she whispers through her tears. All the energy left her body.

Regina sinks to the ground, still holding Emma in her arms. "You go to sleep, little one. Mommy is right here. You can go rest a little bit. I'll keep you safe."

"No no," Emma keeps whispering. "Please."

"Sleep, Emma. Sleep a little bit. I promise I'll keep you safe."

Emma doesn't respond. Her body is shaking.

Regina looks at Robin, who is approaching them by now. "Sleep, Emma. You can sleep a bit." she whispers again.

"No," Emma whispers, "no the walls are bleeding!" her eyes grow bigger again, full of panic.

Regina waves her hand over Emma's body to make her sleep.

Emma's breathing calms down and she falls asleep. Not a very peaceful sleep, but it's something...

Regina keeps holding Emma in her arms until she wakes up again.

Emma opens her eyes, but the light is too bright. She closes them. She wishes she could just stay here in the dark and never come back.

Regina doesn't force Emma to come back. She waits until she's ready.

"Can't you just leave me alone," Emma whispers. "I want to go."

"No. I won't leave you alone." Regina whispers.

Emma starts to cry again. She is so done, so exhausted.

Regina holds her in her arms.

Emma lets her.

"Come back to me, Emma. Please." Regina whispers.

Emma softly moves closer to her mother.

Regina gives all her warmth, strength and love she has inside of her.

Emma for once accepts it. She lets her mother warm her up, because the cold inside is killing her.

Regina feels Emma is accepting her at last. "You're almost back, sweetheart."

"No no..." she whispers very softly, but she does accept more of the love, not knowing she really is almost back.

"I love you, Emma." Regina whispers now, pulling Emma from the darkness back into the light.

Emma looks up at her mother, tears in her eyes. "You did it," she whispers and she moves closer to Regina's body.

"No, sweetheart. You did it." Regina smiles back.

"I didn't," Emma says, "I'm not strong enough to do that."

"No? How else would you explain this then?" Regina rips out Emma's heart. "See? More light than darkness. The only one who can do that is you." She gently puts Emma's heart back in her chest.

"You gave it to me," Emma whispers, ripping out her heart again.

"Maybe, but you accepted it and that's the most important part. Now put your heart back, sweetheart, because it belongs right there." Regina points to Emma's chest.

Emma doesn't put it back. Her body won't let her. He holds it very tightly in her hand, almost squeezing it. "I can't," she whispers.

"Go on. It's the last step. You can do this. I believe in you."

Tears stream over Emma's cheeks, her heart stays in her hand, not tightly, but it's still there.

"Go on." Regina whispers.

"You can do it," Emma whispers. She is planning to run away (she is too exhausted to use magic) as soon as the heart is out of her hand and then hide herself where no one can find her.

Regina puts Emma's heart back into her chest and holds her in her arms immediately. "I know you want to hide but I won't let you. You don't have to. You're safe with me."

Emma looks at her mother. Her eyes show anger, because her mother doesn't want to let her go. She almost bursts inside.

"You're safe with me." Regina whispers again.

Emma now breaks. She starts to cry very hard and can't make herself stop. All her feelings stream out of her, she is finally able to let her feelings go and not hold them in anymore.

Regina keeps holding Emma in her arms. She's getting exhausted herself but she stays strong, for her little girl.

Emma stays close to her mother, slowly calming down. She thinks of her heart and the light she saw in there. The light and love her mother gave her. She feels safe in her mother's arms, finally admitting to herself that her mother does care for and that she still loves her.

"I'm right here, little one. I won't abandon you." Regina whispers.

"I love you, mom," Emma whispers.

Regina's heart melts when she hears those words after such a long time it seems. "I love you too, sweetheart." she whispers.

Emma closes her eyes and leans her head against her mother's shoulder. A really small smile finds it's way to her lips.

Regina looks up at Robin. She feels exhausted

Robin smiles at them. "You two should get some sleep," he says, now walking towards them. He didn't want to interrupt earlier, but now Regina looks at him he does.

"Will you watch the other kids?" Regina asks softly.

"Of course I will," Robin says. He takes over Emma from Regina, so Regina can move again. He carries her upstairs. He brings Emma to the room, which was his and Ariel's bedroom, and lays her down on the bed.

Regina lays down next to Emma and takes her in her arms again. "Is it alright if I sleep here with her? Isn't... Isn't your wife going to mind?"

"She is not my wife and no she won't mind," Robin says, "now the curse is broken, she is different." He smiles, "don't worry."

"But you... You must have loved her, didn't you?"

"I liked her, yes," Robin says.

Regina looks away.

"I was cursed, Regina," Robin says with a sigh.

"I know you were." she whispers. "I'm sorry."

"I never loved her the way I love you, Regina, please remember that."

Regina smiles softly now. "Thank you." she whispers, looking back up at him.

Robin smiles and gives her a goodnight kiss. "Sleep well," he whispers. He gives Emma a kiss on her forehead, she had fallen asleep as soon as Robin laid her down.

"Will you put the other children to bed and come back to me?" Regina asks softly.

"I will," Robin says, "see you." He leaves the room and makes sure the children go to bed, promising them they'll see Regina soon. He then returns to Regina.

Regina smiles immediately when she sees Robin coming back into the room. She looks at him with expectation in her eyes. There is room enough on her other side on the bed.

Robin drops his shoes in the corner of the room and lies down next to Regina. He takes her close to him.

"I've missed this so much." Regina whispers.

"Me too," he whispers.

Regina smiles. She sighs and falls asleep within minutes. The next morning she wakes up, for the first time in what feels like forever, with a smile on her face.

Robin notices Regina woke up and looks at her. He smiles too. "Did you sleep well?" he asks. He looks out of the window, where Emma is sitting on a trunk, looking out over the valley.

"I did. I really did." Regina then startles and jumps out of bed. "Where is Emma?"

"She is sitting right there," Robin says calmly. He guides her eyes towards the window, so she can see Emma sitting there. Her body looks fragile.

"She needs me. I need to go to her."

"Give her time," Robin says.

"What if she runs away again?" Regina mumbles.

"We will keep an eye on her," Robin says. At that moment Julie comes out of the house. She carries some bread and sits down next to Emma. Her feet barely touch the ground.

Regina looks at the scene that's developing in front of her.

Julie gives the piece of bread to Emma and takes a bit of her own. You can see how Emma looks at Julie with a small smile and accepts the bread. She takes a little bite too.

Regina smiles at Robin, leaning against him now. "So... What now?"

"I don't know," Robin says, "get things back to normal?" he says.

"What is normal?"

"Just back to a peaceful life I guess," Robin says, "finding a home, finding Henry, Snow and Juli."

Regina nodds. "I would love to find them." she whispers. "But I don't dare to ask Emma where she send them, because I don't want to trigger something."

"I thought you..." Robin starts, but at that right moment someone knocks on the door.

Regina startles and looks at Robin. She waits for him to open up the door.

Robin walks down and opens the door. It's Juli.

"Robin? Who is it?" Regina asks from upstairs.

"It's Juli," he answers. "You can come down."

"Juli? Juli!" Regina shouts out. She runs downstairs and hugs the woman in front of her. "You found us."

"Of course I did," Juli says and she hugs her back. "But the orphanage...? It's burnt to the ground."

"It is." Regina whispers. "But that's not a problem anymore, since I have my magic back."

"I'm glad," Juli says with a smile, "I'm sorry I didn't come earlier. I visited Snow first."

"Snow?" Regina whispers. "She's... She's the girl I helped to the hospital. She lost... lost her child." Regina looks down.

"Yeah," Juli says, "I saw her a lot after it happened... She needed some help giving it a place. So I thought it would be good to visit her first. She left you a letter."

"A letter?" Regina asks softly. She takes over the paper from Juli and starts to read.

"She is still in the hospital, her condition isn't very good. She can't come out of her bed yet, so she asked me to give this to you," Juli says.

'Dear mom,
I think you're awake too. I'm still in the hospital, so I couldn't come to visit you. I hope I'll be able soon.
Did you see Emma already? Is she okay? I worry so much about her.
If you see her and maybe even talk to her, I know you're able to get her back if you really want it, can you tell her I forgive her? Tell her I still love her. I would love to visit her myself, but I can't walk and I don't think she'll come to me.

I miss you,
Love
Snow'

"Emma needs to read this letter." Regina whispers. "And then I need to see Snow." She looks at Juli. "Can I?"

"Yes of course," Juli says, "she is in the same hospital as where you brought her."

Regina nodds. She slowly makes her way outside, to Emma. "Emma? Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asks softly.

Julie is still sitting next to Emma. She says a quick goodbye and then hurries off to Robin's house, so Emma and Regina can be alone. Emma doesn't really have a choice.

Regina softly smiles while sitting next to Emma. "I have a letter I want you to read." Regina hands over the piece of paper.

Emma takes the letter from her mom. She lays it down in her lap and doesn't open it. She looks at her mother.

"It's from Snow White." she whispers. "But you will like it, I promise."

"You promise you're not tricking me?" Emma asks, folding open the letter.

"I promise."

Emma reads the letter and keeps silent. The urge to burn the letter to dust is clearly there.

"She forgives you, Emma." Regina whispers.

"I killed her child, mom," Emma reacts

"I know. And she knows. And she still forgives you. Doesn't that mean something?"

"It means you two don't know what you're doing," Emma says, looking at the letter again.

"We trust you." Regina answers, without any hesitation.

Emma keeps silent, knowing it would be useless to contradict her mother now.

"We do." Regina smiles now. She gets up. "Do you want to join us for breakfast?"

"I got some already from one of the girls," Emma says, not remembering her name. She feels bad about that... "Did you ever tell them that I was the one who killed their parents?" she asks her mother.

"I didn't. And unless you want me to, I won't. That's in the past."

"I want you to tell them," Emma whispers, "I can't handle their kindness." She looks down with tears in her eyes. She quickly wipes them away with her sleeve.

Regina nodds. "If that's what you want, then I will. But Emma?" Regina waits until Emma looks up at her. "You'd be surprised what people can forgive." She smiles.

Emma smiles a little, "I'm already surprised," she whispers. "But... Can I go when you tell them? I don't want to be there."

"Tell you what? You wait here, outside, with Robin, while I'll tell them. I'll ask them if they want to talk to you and if so, I'll call you inside. What do you say?"

Emma hesitates, but then nods. Before her mother leaves she grabs her hand, "what do I say?" she says. Tears stream over her face.

"You know what to say when the time comes. I promise."

"No no I don't," Emma says. She is crying harder now, feeling so desperate.

Regina hugs her daughter again, giving the warmth of her body to her. "You will. I promise." She gives her a kiss on the forehead and then heads inside. She sends Robin to watch over Emma. Regina then gathers all the kids together in the small living room of Robin's house.

Juli joins Emma and Robin.
The kids look up at Regina when they're sitting together.

Regina tells them the truth: Emma killed each and one of their parents.

The kids keep quiet. Some startle, some start to cry, but not really because the news is shocking, but because they fought so hard to not think of their parents anymore and now Regina starts to speak of them. Some even feel relieved, living and not knowing what happened to your parents is hard. "So my parents did love me? They didn't abandon me?" Julie says, she is always the first to talk.

Regina nodds. "Yes. Yes, they did love you. All of your parents loved you."

There are a lot of different feelings in the group and it takes a long time before everything is calmed down again.

"Emma... Emma is right outside. She's very scared of your reactions to her. She knows she did the wrong thing, a very wrong thing, but... But so did I in my past. And I've been forgiven. Maybe Emma can be too?"

The kids don't move, but when one of the kids stands up the rest does too and together they walk outside. Robin and Juli turn around to look at them, but Emma doesn't dare.

Regina looks outside of the window to see what's happening.

Emma looks around and faces the children. Some of them walk back inside, angry, but some of them stay. Emma walks to them and rips out her own heart. "Crush it if you want," she says, "I deserve it." The heart lays on the ground between her and the kids, but no one takes it.

Regina just keeps looking. She doesn't realise she's breathing superficially.

The children keep looking at the heart. Some really want to move, but they don't.

"Please, someone, pick it up and give it back. Forgive my baby girl." Regina whispers in front of her.

Another bunch of kids walk away from her, only a few are still staring.

"Please." Regina whispers again.

Charlie and Julie look at each other and then, as if they read each other's mind they step towards the heart and pick it up. Emma closes her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

Regina holds her breath.

Everyone is now inside except for Julie and Charlie. They push the heart back inside Emma's chest. She gasps for air and opens her eyes.

Regina keeps looking now. She doesn't notice the other children around her.

"What are you doing?" Emma whispers. Julie smiles at her. "We're doing the right thing."

Regina looks at the other kids now. "Not one of you is forgiving Emma?"

The children back away a little, startled by Regina's direct words. "Should we?" someone asks.

"Only if you want to. I can't make you forgive her. You have to want it yourself."

The kids keep silent now. "She killed our parents," a boy says.

"She did. So did I, many years ago. I have killed innocent people and burned down entire villages. Why did I deserve a second chance and Emma doesn't?"

The children don't know what to say. "you're our... mother."

"But if I didn't do the things I've done in my past, I would never have Emma and I would never have all of you. All things happen for a reason."

"We would never have had you," a girl says, understanding Regina's words. "But it's so... Cruel."

"It is." Regina whispers. "But does that make it less worth it?"

The children shake their heads, "but she made us poor too," one of the girls says. They're hard to convince although some of the children start to feel more, well... Soft towards Emma. "You forgave her already?" A boy asks.

Regina nodds. "I do."

"I do too," the boy says.

"Yes?" Regina asks softly.

"If you think that's the right thing to do, yes," the boy says.

"Your heart will tell you the right thing to do." Regina smiles.

The boy nods and walks away to a group of other kids who are talking. Emma is still outside with Julie, Charlie, Juli and Robin. Nobody else wants to forgive Emma, not yet.

Regina sits down at the table and waits.

Robin comes in first and sits down next to her. "Are you okay?" he asks.

"They aren't ready to forgive her. Not yet. I think it will take some time."

"Yeah I think so too," Robin says, "but I think Julie and Charlie will be a good first start for Emma. They forgive her already, well... Kind of."

Regina smiles. "One by one, right ?" she whispers.

"Exactly," Robin says, "we can't expect them to forgive her immediately, I think. Such things take time."

Regina nodds. "I wonder if Emma... If she took Leopold with her. Here." Her eyes should the concern she's feeling.

"We haven't seen him yet," Robin says, trying to sound optimistic.

"That's true." Regina smiles now. "We... I need to go to Snow. Do you think Emma wants to come with me?"

At that right moment a loud "what!" comes from outside. Charlie walks away from Emma. Julie hesitates, but decides to follow Charlie. Emma sinks to the ground.

Regina startles. She runs outside. "What is going on?" she wants to know.

"It doesn't matter," Emma says, tears in her eyes, and she starts to walk away. Juli comes to them too.

"No, please. Emma. I want to help you."

"I. Don't. Want. Your. Help..." Emma snaps.

Regina startles. "Alright." she whispers.

Emma sighs and walks away into the woods, throwing her own heart on the ground. When it hits the ground she collapses a little, but now her heart isn't in her chest, she is able to stop her feelings and poof away.

Regina saw what happened. She picks up Emma's heart and puts it in a box in Robin's bedroom. She then hides away in a corner.

"Give it time Regina," Robin says when he sits down next to her.

"I won't get her back. She's gone again." Regina whispers.

"You got her back already," Robin says, "she may be gone again, but you can do this. You still want to get her back right?" He asks just to be sure.

"Of course I do." Regina whispers. But does she? Really? Isn't going back to the darkness so much easier?

"It is, if anyone knows that it's you," Robin says, "did you want to get rid of your darkness immediately? Because I don't think so, but here you are."

"I remember well." Regina snaps suddenly.

"And are you the same person now? I don't think so."

Regina's eyes darken a bit. "It's so easy to go back." she then whispers.

"Yeah, I know," Robin says. He saw that happen so many times.

"But I'm trying not to. I promise." Regina smiles softly. "I want to be good. And I want Emma to be good as well. She can be. If she allows herself."

'I know you do and I think you're succeeding," Robin says, "never have I seen a spark of darkness in your eyes when I visited the orphanage. And Emma... it will be hard to get her back, but I don't think it's impossible."

"You do? You really think so?"

Robin shrugs. "Yeah I do," he then says.

Regina leans against him. She startles when a familiar voice starts to talk inside her head. Her body goes rigid.

Robin takes her hand in his. He has seen this so often that he almost knows exactly what's going on. "It's okay," he whispers.

Regina flinches.

"You know you're safe right, nothing will happen to you," Robin whispers.
