Hello guys! Sorry for taking me so long to post the new chapter but here it is. I hope you enjoy it and that you leave me your reviws.

Thanks for reading.

It had been a week since the last talk between Regina and Emma. The blonde had seen her when she reached her fiancé's room but she hadn't approached her or allowed the brunette to see her.

Robin was about to be discharged and Emma knew what that meant. She would leave.

She needed to talk to someone, she needed to let go of everything she had inside.

She looked for Ruby all over the hospital but never found her. Her friend was not there and she didn't know who else to turn to.

"Is something wrong with you, Swan?" Killian asked, walking beside her.

"Why do you ask?" Emma answered without giving much importance.

"You look distracted."

"I'm just a little tired."

"Do you want to have a drink with me?" He asked with a charming smile.

"I don't think it's the best thing for me right now." Emma went into the break room and took off her robe by hanging it on one of the coat racks. "I think I'll just go home and get some rest."

Killian watched as the blonde left and stood in front of the door feeling once again the rejection of that woman.

Emma got into her car and ran her hands down her face with a great sigh. She started driving through the streets of London thinking of getting to her thing but her subconscious took her to another place.

She realized she was only a few blocks from her parents' house. She stopped in front of the sidewalk and turned off the car engine trying to figure out why she had gotten there.

It was dusk and the light on the porch of the house was on. She got out of the car and walked to the door, rang the doorbell several times and put her hands in the back pockets of her jeans as she waited for an answer."

Seconds later her mother appeared in front of her and put a smile on her face at the sight.

"Emma, what a surprise." greeted the brunette with joy.

"I hope not to disturb..." said the blonde shyly.

"Not at all, you never bother."

Mary Margaret stepped aside and motioned for her daughter to come by. She closed the door behind her and they both walked toward the living room.

"Is David here?"

"No, he's still at work" Mary Margaret answered. "Do you want me to call him?"

"No ... I really wanted to talk to you. Something like a mother - daughter talk."

Emma sat down on the beige couch and her mother sat beside her looking at her curiously.

"Something happens?"

"Regina's going to New York," Emma said without a second thought. "her fiancé has woken up, and now they're going to New York."

"You feel something for her, don't you?"

"I love her" Emma admitted with tears in her eyes.

"Did you tell her?"

"No... I couldn't..." Emma let the tears escape her eyes.

"So you're letting her go?"

"That's the right thing to do."

"The right thing to do for her or for you?"

"For both" the blonde replied in a whisper. "I can't ask her to ruin her life for something I don't know if it's going to work."

"If you never try, you'll never know Emma." Mary Margaret took her daughter's hand and looked into her eyes. "You can't know what Regina feels if you've never told her about your feelings."

"I know what she feels" Emma replied. "She asked me for a reason to stay and I ... I couldn't give her any."

"What are you afraid of? If she loves you too, there's no reason not to try."

"It won't be fair ... It won't be fair for me to keep her from the life she had planned, it would not be fair for her to hurt a man who loves her because of me ... I have nothing to offer her."

"Of course you have something to offer Emma ... You have your love for her and that's enough."

Emma shook her head and buried her face in her hands.

She couldn't keep Regina from a perfect life with her fiancé to offer an unstable woman who dared not confess that he loved her.

"I'm going to give you some advice" her mother continued, running her hand down her back to reassure her. "I know you haven't thought about you for a long time, and I know that until now you care about people ... But it's time for you to stop thinking about others and think about yourself" Emma raised her head and looked at her mother wiping tears "For once in your life think about what you want and fight for it ... If Regina is what you want, don't let her go without telling her what you feel. At least you'll know if that's enough reason to stay."

Emma looked at her mother and gave her a big hug.

Her mother was right. Maybe Regina would stay for her when she found out what she felt. Maybe she could stay there forever.

Regina was packing on a small suitcase some of the things that she had brought to Robin for entertain him while she worked.

Robin was sitting in a wheelchair watching her.

"What's up?" She asked.

"I'm just getting the idea that for some time you'll be the highest in this couple" he joked with a small smile.

"I will not have to wear such high shoes now" the brunette replied with a laugh.

"We have another advantage."

"Yes? Which?" Regina asked curiously.

Robin took her by the hand and brought her as close as possible to him.

"We don't have to pay for taxis anymore." He gave a small tug to his fiancée's hand and sat her on his lap. "We have free transportation."

Regina laughed and kissed her fiancé on the lips.

Robin began to move the wheels of the chair with his arms and Regina reached to take the small suitcase from the bed. He had already been discharged so they were free to leave.

Regina couldn't help laughing at the reaction of the people who saw them in the corridors of the hospital. Robin maneuvered the chair with agility and a smile on his face.

"Only he could take such a situation with such humor." Regina thought

Emma had returned to the hospital and this time she felt better. The talk with her mother had helped, but she was not sure she wanted to keep Regina away from her perfect life.

Automatically walked up to Robin's room and realized until it was already in front of the door.

To her surprise the room was empty. Emma froze in the doorway and looked for any sign of Regina.

"Is something wrong?" Asked Ruby

"Have he been discharged already? Emma asked, turning to her friend.

"Two hours ago" Ruby could feel the sadness in the blonde's gaze and came up to her with a hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"I lost her, Ruby," the blonde replied in a whisper. "Forever... She left."

"Maybe is the best, friend."

"Maybe…"

Emma walked down the hospital corridors with her gaze on the floor. Regina was gone and she knew it was her fault, for not saying what she felt, for her fears but for what she wanted.

One of Emma's worst flaws was that, fear. She had never dared to be completely happy for fear it would only last for a few seconds. She had never fallen in love for fear that the other person would not feel the same.

Damn fear.

"The flight leaves at noon" Reported Regina hanging the cell phone "And the truck will be here in the morning to take all the things.

To Robin's surprise his fiancée had already packed all their belongings in boxes and suitcases and was all set to go to New York.

Regina watched the confused face of her fiancé and approached him to take his hand.

"Something happens?" She asked.

"Nothing, it's just ... We're a few hours away from fulfilling one of our plans together and that makes me think I'm dreaming."

"Well, it's not a dream," she replied with a small smile. "Tomorrow we will begin a new life."

Regina's smile turned into melancholy and sadness. Suddenly Emma's smiling face had settled on her head and reminded her of what she was leaving behind.

Maybe it was not the best decision to run away from her feelings, but she would try it in the hope of doing so.
