Here's another chapter and I hope you like it. Let me know what you think and thank you very much for reading

Regina had been surprised at her fiancé's question. She didn't know what to answer and not because she didn't want to hurt Robin but because she didn't know it herself.

"Don't you think to answer me?" He asked again.

The brunette remained silent and looked at her fiancé fixedly.

"I don't know..." she whispered.

Robin nodded and let out a big sigh.

"I think it doesn't surprise me."

"What are you saying?" The brunette asked confused.

He didn't expect that response from his fiancé. He was calm and looked into her eyes with nothing to fear.

"Since we've been here, you've been distant, distracted," Robin replied in a melancholy voice. "And I don't think it's just because we left London.

"Forgive me..." Regina could not speak louder than a whisper.

"You don't have to ask for forgiveness... I am the one who should do it" Robin took the hand of his fiancée and took a deep breath "Forgive me for letting your feelings for me change."

"You are not to blame for that Robin... You are a wonderful man and any woman could fall in love with you."

"But not you…

"I was in love with you and for a long time" Regina caressed the cheek of her fiancé "And believe me that I never thought to fall in love with someone else."

"I think that answers my question" He said sadly "You don' love me anymore."

"Of course I love you... You will always be my best friend" Regina smiled "You were the one who returned the purpose to my life and I will always be grateful for that."

"That's what matters" Robin smiled and looked at Regina with tenderness "Here you will always have your best friend... I don't want to be out of your life."

Regina didn't understand how that man could be so understanding. How could it be possible that just like that he accepted that she no longer wanted him more than as a friend.

She was not lying, Robin helped her at a stage in her life where she didn't know what to do, and she had fallen in love with him. But Emma's arrival had changed everything, she didn't know when it happened, but that's how it had been.

"I don't want you to be out of my life either, but I will not force you to stay when you don't want to."

"I know it will be difficult for me all this Regina, but I will not leave you alone."

Regina smiled at him and hugged him tightly. The knowledge that he had it there for her gave her such peace of mind.

Only a few days ago the doctor had told Robin that he would soon be able to walk and both were happy about that. But now, Regina felt guilty for leaving him at a time when he needed her, she felt guilty for not being able to reciprocate the love he had for her. But there was nothing that could be done.

After several minutes of silence, Regina decided to tell him what had happened with Emma by omitting the part of their night together.

Robin listened carefully, but in his eyes, could see a hint of sadness and melancholy when listening to Regina's feelings towards someone else. Although she told him as gently as she could, she knew that she couldn't protect him from all pain.

"Come on Swan, just a drink" insisted Killian with a charming smile.

-"I have work to do" Emma answered trying to evade it.

"You have been telling me that the last two months."

"I've been very busy."

"Emma" Ruby interrupted calling her from the other side of the hall.

The blonde looked at Killian for the last time and walked to her friend.

"What's up?"

"I know I should not get involved in your affairs, but... Give the poor boy a chance" Said her friend

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"I know you're not ready yet for dates but you can try to date him as a friend."

"Now you will put of his side?" Emma asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not on his side... I'm on the side of having a little fun."

Emma looked at her friend crossing her arms and gave a quick look to Killian who was still across the aisle talking to a nurse.

"I know I'm going to regret this," whispered Emma.

Ruby gave her one last smile and watched her walk towards Killian.

"At eight o'clock" Said the blonde passing by him.

Killian smiled and watched Emma pass by. He had finally got his appointment.

"I think I expected a bit of this" Robin said when Regina finished telling him everything.

"Seriously?" The brunette asked curiously.

"Well, to begin with, the way Emma behaved with you was not from a doctor worried about her patient's fiancée... She looked at you the same way I did when I fell in love with you." Regina smiled uncomfortably at the comment and Robin cleared his throat "And what do you plan to do?

"About what?"

"About Emma."

"Seriously, you want to know?" Regina asked surprised.

"I want you to be happy... And if your happiness is with Emma I will not oppose it. So I think you have to say what you're going to do."

"I don't know if to go look for her..."

"Do it. You have nothing to lose."

In that, Robin was right. She had nothing to lose after all.

"Thank you for accepting" Killian said with a smile.

"Don't get too excited. It's just as friends" Emma hastened to say.

"Come on Swan, don't be such a party pooper. Have a little fun"

The waiter put in front of them two shots of whiskey and a plate with French fries.

"I'm just clearing things up before you think about anything else." The blonde defended herself and then took a sip of the whiskey.

"Always on the defensive" Killian commented taking some fries.

"After so many years of knowing me you should know."

"Maybe if you hadn't taken me away from you so much I could know you better."

"Killian, don't start" Emma said giving him a look of despair.

"Okay" Killian said raising his hands in peace "But at least now I know why you never paid attention to me" Emma gave him a confused look and the man smiled "Do you think I didn't realize the way you looked at Regina?"

"And if you already knew then why do you keep insisting?" The blonde asked a little annoyed.

"I want us to be friends... But you don't give me the opportunity."

"Let's say you never behaved as if you just wanted to be my friend."

"That was until I realized about Regina." Killian grimaced. "Seriously Swan, I don't know how you could let her go. That woman was...

"Easy," Emma warned him with her finger. "I guess I didn't have the courage to ask her to stay."

"Cheers for that" He said raising his glass.

"For my cowardice?"

"For the nonsense one commits every day."

Emma smiled and hit her glass with Killian's.

And what a nonsense she had committed. But for these moments maybe Regina would already be married enjoying New York next to the man she loved.

There was no reverse.

Regina dragged her suitcase through the streets of London while observing the city she had missed so much. By inertia she was walking in the direction of the park where Emma liked to go.

I wanted to look for her, to tell her what she felt for her but she didn't feel ready to go to the hospital and face her.

She reached the bench where they always sat and dropped into it with a sigh. She felt the cold air stir her hair and closed her eyes breathing deeply.

She sat there waiting for Emma to appear in front of her and smile at her with that beautiful and tender smile. Seeing her face again was what she most wanted and not to mention having those green eyes in front of her and in those that she could be lost.

Regina walked slowly through the park and a voice distracted her halfway.

"Regina?" It was Emma. There he was in front of her, just as beautiful as ever "What are you doing here?"
