A/N: I was so inspired tonight, listening to Wild Horses by The Sundays on repeat, I couldn't go on without posting their most awaited reunion. 3 Happy reading! :) And thank you all for your amazing comments.

Belle made her way into the taxi, the driver helping her with Cora's bags as he loaded them into the trunk. Cora turned to look at her daughter one more time, "Well, it certainly was nice seeing you again, dear. I hope you visit me in New York soon."

"I'll be sure to visit soon, mother." Regina nodded.

Cora studied Regina quietly, "Honestly, dear, I hate the thought of you alone in Boston. You should consider giving Robin another chance. You know, he's really trying-"

"I won't be alone, mother. Kathryn will be with me. We already have an apartment lined up in Boston." She cut her off, not to be rude, but Robin was never her favorite topic of conversation with her. She smiled, "I'll call you as soon as we land in Boston."

Cora nodded, "Be sure that you do." She leaned in, giving her daughter a kiss on the cheek. Which was something new to Regina. It took her completely by surprise.

As far back as Regina could remember, she never remembered her mother ever giving her a kiss goodbye. Much less giving her a hug. It certainly was a change in history for her. So much that she couldn't help but ask.

"Mother… are you alright?"

Cora smiled, brushing off the worry look on Regina's features, "I'm perfectly fine, dear. Wipe that worried look off your face. I'm not dying." She chuckled, "I'll be expecting your call."

"Have a safe flight, mother." Regina watched as Cora made her way into the cab, without so much as another glance her way. Spending those few days with her mother did her good, even if the woman was a little difficult to understand her life choices towards her nursing career and her simple ways of living as Cora would call it. She loved getting to see her mother and she has missed her. After all, she's the only family she has left.

She looked down at her watch, taking notice in the time of day. Heading back inside her apartment to finish packing their things. Kathryn and her still had an entire day ahead of them filled with luggage's and moving boxes before their flight to Boston tomorrow morning.

"This is the last one!" Kathryn smiled brightly, carrying a moving box in her arms as she handed it off to a family who had bought all their lamps. Taking their money as she thanked them. In the end they had decided that once in their new place in Boston, they would buy everything new. Have a new fresh start.

It was early the next morning and Regina never felt happier. She would miss Germany dearly, and its many beauties it had to offer, but her heart belonged in Boston. With Emma. And she for one couldn't wait to look upon her favorite pair of green eyes again. She decided to wear what she wore for her and Emma's first date, along with the blonde's blue leather jacket. Her beautiful carved out horse the blonde had made her clutched in her hands as she walked out of the apartment building. Smiling at Kathryn as she already had a taxi waiting for them.

"Ready?" Asked Kathryn with a bright smile of her own.

"More than ever." Regina nodded, allowing Kathryn to board the cab first.

"Regina!"

Regina turned to the sound of a voice that could only be Robin's as he ran up to her, slightly out of breath. "Robin, what-?"

"Don't leave." His voice filled with plea as he looked into the brunette's brown eyes, "Please. I still love you-"

"Robin-"

"No, let me finish. Please." He continued by digging through his pants pocket, kneeling down on one knee before her. Both her and Kathryn were in shock as he held out an engagement ring before her. "Marry me."

Regina looked over at Kathryn who then rolled her eyes, looking back down at Robin again as she remained speechless.

"I was an idiot, and I know that now. I only ask for a second chance. Give me that and I'll show you that everything will be different from here on out. Just…" He paused, "Don't go to Boston."

She could be honest. She could tell him that her answer would be no because she is in love with someone else. But why risk it? Her mother would find out from him and she knew it. Sure he surprised her, because this was the first time Robin ever had proposed to her. Before when they dated, he was never a firm believer in marriage but now, he actually wanted to marry her. Only difference was, the feeling wasn't mutual.

"Robin," She paused, trying to find the right words to let him down easy, hoping that this time he would understand. "I'm sorry. But, I can't." She stared at the man's smile which disappeared in a matter of seconds before her very eyes, "I would only be fooling myself if I married you and didn't go back to Boston. My life is there. I don't belong here. It would never work between us."

"You only say that because you haven't given it a chance, if you just-"

"No, Robin." Her voice was firm this time but in a still gentle manner, "I've run out of chances. I need to follow my own heart now. But I know someday you will find someone who will truly love you like you deserve. I only hope you don't make the same mistake with her as you did with me." Her hand caressed his cheek for old time sake, "Deep down you're a good man. Just not the one for me." She paused, removing her hand from the man's scruffy cheek, "Goodbye."

And with that being said, she was gone. On her way to the airport, away from Germany and Robin for good this time. Without so much as looking back.

She sighed, letting out a breath she had been holding since Robin had arrived. Her closed eyes opening back up as felt Kathryn's hand in her own in support.

"Are you alright?" Asked Kathryn.

Regina nodded, smiling dearly at her friend of many years, "I'm more than alright. I'm finally happy."

Kathryn smiled, "Boston here we come."

Their flight seemed long. At least to Regina who couldn't get one ounce of shut eye through the entire flight. Kathryn managed so it wasn't such a drag to her. Of course, the hours always seem long when you are just as anxious and nervous to get to your next destination in life as the brunette happened to be. She would finally be seeing Emma. She would finally get to hold her and kiss her until both got tired, not that they ever did. It was through that plane ride where Regina's mind began to wonder: Could she see herself with Emma forever? Could she see both of them with their already planned out, future son by the name of Henry? Could they make this work, even though Emma would be living in a small town and she in the city?

One thing was for sure. She didn't know what their future would hold, but no matter what they would have to face, she could always see herself by Emma's side. Happy, learning and growing in love like she hadn't done with anyone for years.

'Ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing in the Boston Airport in about ten minutes. We ask that you keep your seat belts fastened until told otherwise. Thank you and we hope you've enjoyed your flight this afternoon.'

The captain's words turned Regina's stomach into knots. In about ten minutes, her and Emma would no longer be across the world from each other. But rather, only hours apart. Due to her moving and having to settle into a new apartment, the hospital she had been assigned to gave her a few days off before she would have to present herself to her new job. She couldn't be more thrilled, really. Not only did that mean her new life would begin, but her new life with Emma. They would finally be able to reconstruct a future to look forward to later on in life.

She chuckled to herself, shaking her head at the crazy thought in her head. How on earth did Emma Swan ever capture her heart was beyond her. Many tried and failed, but Emma was able to accomplish an impossible task for many with such ease it made her wonder.

She closed her eyes for the remainder of the flight, a smile spreading across her lips as she dreamed. Dreamed of Emma's lips with hers, their bodies as one, their hands coming together like two perfectly made puzzle pieces. Those green eyes that would steal her heart away just with one look.

Both women arrived to their new apartment. Luckily they were able to find it furnished with a few accommodations. It would make due for now. They still planned on buying the rest new, of course.

Kathryn released her luggage's on the floor with a big thump, "Ugh! Home sweet home!" She smiled at the brunette, "God, I've missed driving, it's going to feel so great driving my baby again."

Regina chuckled, "It's a car. I'm sure it's been perfectly fine without you."

Kathryn's eyes grew wide, "How can you say that? It has feelings, you know, just like you and me." She sighed, taking in the beautiful view of the city from their apartment window, "Just look at that magnificent view. Germany had plenty of beautiful views, but in my opinion, you can't beat Boston's city lights."

"I'm afraid Vegas would disagree with you, dear." said Regina.

Kathryn rolled her eyes, looking over her shoulder at the brunette, "Vegas is mainly about casinos and live shows. It's just showing off."

Regina smirked, walking towards the window as she stood next to her best friend, drinking in the view of the city. Kathryn was right, it was magnificent. It was still day time, but even then Boston was a city to admire. It was then she realized just how much she missed being home. And just knowing that somewhere out there by this time, Emma was too.

"What are you doing standing here, Mills?"

Regina turned to look at her friend with a raised brow, realizing that she had been staring at her in silence for God knows how long. "Pardon?"

Kathryn reached for the brunette's car keys, placing them in her hand, "It's almost 1. Emma should be coming out of school shortly, correct?"

"Yeah?" Regina's brows furrowed.

The blonde's brows shot up in surprise, "You know what school she's in. Go get the kid and give her that kiss you've been dreaming about since we woke up this morning."

Regina clutched her car keys in her hand, chuckling, "I was planning on driving to Storybrooke later. Besides, we have to clean up here-"

Kathryn pushed Regina across the living room, reaching for her purse as she handed it to her, "I can handle it. You go be with the girl. I am perfectly capable of cleaning on my own."

"Kathryn, I just can't-"

"Of course you can. You absolutely can." Kathryn shoved her out the open door, smiling, "Give Emma my love. Tell her I expect an invite to that town of hers."

Regina chuckled, shaking her head as she threw herself at the blonde in a big hug, "How did I get so lucky to have a friend like you?"

"Oh, honey. We've been through this. I'm a natural lucky charm." She winked after breaking their hug, "Now, go. You don't want to be late."

Regina rushed off towards her black Mercedes, having missed the feeling of turning on her own car and driving off to her own destination. Lucky her and Kathryn had been provided with lunch on the plane. But even if she hadn't had anything in her stomach, she did not want to waste anymore time without seeing Emma.

"So, you all know your assignments. Due first thing Monday. Have a great weekend everyone."

Emma closed up her books in front of her, placing them inside her backpack as she swung it over her shoulder. She reached for her cane as she stood from her chair, making her way down the steps, past the professor's desk and out of the classroom door. She walked out the front doors and headed into the parking lot, glancing down at her phone in hopes of getting a text or a call from Regina.

Nothing.

She sighed, placing her phone inside her jeans pocket.

"Excuse me, miss." Emma looked up at the sound of Regina's familiar voice, her lips parting as Regina leaned over her yellow bug, with a smile so wide it looked like it hurt her cheeks, "I'm looking for the owner of this vehicle. She goes by the name of Emma Swan. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find her, would you?"

Emma closed her lips, deciding to play along with the brunette's game, walking slowly towards her car, "Well, gee, I'm not sure. But I'm sure I could help you find her, if you just give me a description of how she looks."

Regina pursed her lips in wonder, "Hm." Her eyes looked over the blonde before her in a flirting manner, "She's about your height. Blonde hair, owns a car just like this one behind me," she motioned to her beetle as she looked back her way, "Her eyes are the clearest of green, I could get lost in them forever. Her lips are thin, like yours are. She has one of the most beautiful souls you could ever have the pleasure of meeting."

Emma's eyes locked onto Regina's own, their faces only inches apart as the brunette had walked nearer her more, "She sounds like one lucky girl."

"Oh, she is" Replied Regina.

Emma finally couldn't help but smile, so big her cheeks grew sore, "How did she ever manage to have someone as beautiful and amazing as you?"

Regina's own smile mirrored Emma's, the tips of their noses touching now, "She waited."

Emma's smile grew, just when she thought it couldn't possibly grow any wider. The thud of her cane dropping on the bare concrete sounding, accompanied with an even louder thud from dropping her backpack as her arm had wrapped around the brunette's waist, while her other hand cupped the back of her head, pulling her into a hard earned kiss that took their very breath away and made their toes curl.

Their lips molding perfectly together, dancing away in the heat of passion, the scenery itself was something out of a cheesy romance film.

Literally, if some director was filming them right now, the camera would be spinning in circles around them with the concept of their entire world spinning around them. As the camera then panned out into a full body view of them both. I guess you could say that's what their love had become ever since they met. One big, cheesy romance film. Some students even found themselves staring at the spectacle before them. Some couldn't care less.

Regina's hands turned into fists as they held on tightly to the blonde's red leather jacket. Every bit of her pores taking in the soft feel of Emma's longed for desired touch as the blonde's hands traveled around her neck and up to cup her cheeks.

Their lips never parting. Emma never wanted them to part again. And she knew they wouldn't.

Regina was finally home and right where she belonged.

After their much needed make out session finally came to an end (for now at least), Emma had convinced Regina to drive back to her apartment. But not after giving her her new address.

If Regina knew the blonde well, she was sure Emma had something up her sleeve.

She didn't mind listening to her though, she was able to help Kathryn with some things around their new apartment while she waited for that knock at the door that was sure to make her smile again. Not that she hadn't been smiling since she arrived.

"God, you two are so cheesy together, I'm dying." said Kathryn, wiping her tears of happiness over her friend's story.

Regina chuckled, "Are you actually crying right now?"

"Uh, like I just watched The Notebook for the first time." Kathryn shook her head as Regina couldn't help but laugh, "I swear, that soldier is like something out of a romance movie. I am starting to feel so lonely."

Shortly after, there was that long awaited for knock at the door.

Regina stood up from the couch where they sat, "That's Emma. Are you-?"

"Oh honey, go." Kathryn waved her off, "Leave me. Please, go before you two finish destroying me."

Regina chuckled, walking her way towards the door as she pulled it open. Smiling back at the blonde's pearly white smile. "Hi-"

"-Hi." Emma chuckled as she spoke at the same time as the brunette, holding out a bouquet of freshly picked flowers, "I got these for you. Freshly picked, not bought, I'm afraid."

"They are beautiful." Regina took them from her grasp, bringing them up to her nose as the freshly scent overtook her senses.

"Hey there, soldier!" Kathryn waved from afar, peeking out of a corner of their new apartment. "Taking Cinderella out for the night?"

Emma chuckled, "If that's alright with the fairy godmother."

"Of course," Kathryn smiled, as Regina chuckled, "The fair godmother approves of you."

"Stroke of midnight?" Asked Emma.

Kathryn tapped her chin in thought, shaking her head, "I'll make an exception. Go wild. I won't wait up."

Regina smiled, taking a hold of Emma's hand as she pulled the door closed, "Thank you fairy godmother."

"Dance the night away!" Shouted Kathryn, sighing happily at the feeling of being home. She looked up, as if speaking to God, "You and I make a pretty good team."

As they were outside the new apartment building, Regina laughed in surprise at the sight of a rolled out carpet, that began from the apartments doorway towards her yellow Volkswagen.

"I told you I would roll out a red carpet for you once you were home, as well as your bouquet of flowers." Emma smiled.

"Where on earth did you find a red carpet?" Asked Regina.

Emma shrugged, "Friends in high places." She teased. Offering her her hand, "Now, if you please, milady. Your chariot awaits."

Regina took her hand, walking right on the red carpet, waiting for Emma to pull the passenger door open, as she did. Right before she took her bouquet of flowers from her and placed them in the back seat. She buckled up while Emma moved around her car, climbing into the driver's seat as her engine started up to life.

"Ready?" Emma looked over to a smiling brunette, eager to start on the drive ahead of them.

Regina nodded. And with that Emma drove off.

Their drive was long, but beautiful. Regina couldn't help but admire the blonde soldier during the entire drive for her natural beauty. The way her blonde hair would flap along with the wind, free spirited just as she as they drove with their windows down. That cheeky twinkle in her green eyes as she would look over her for the hundredth time. The way her dimples formed right on her cheeks from smiling ever so much. Her eyes looked down at their joined hands, their thumbs constantly caressing one another. Everything in their body screaming out happiness.

"Look. We're here." Emma nodded before her, as Regina looked right ahead as they drove by a green sign.

Welcome to Storybrooke.

Storybrooke. The town that is nowhere on a map. The town the blonde told her so many stories about it made it seem like something out of a fairy tale. Regina's smile only grew at the thought of finally seeing, not only the town where the love of her life was born into, but meeting every single person that was important for her too.
