Third Person POV
After Emma, David and Mary Margaret saw through Pongo's memories that Regina did killed Archie, the three of them got to Regina's house. Emma knocked on the door, while David and Mary Margaret stood behind her. Regina answered.

"Ms. Swan. I assume you're here to apologize," Regina said. "I saw you do it," Emma said. "What?" Regina asked, confused. "I saw it. You choked the life out of Archie," Emma said. "What are you talking about? How is that even possible?" Regina asked. "Magic," David replied. "You -"

"I saw what happened," Emma cut Regina off, "And it was you."

Regina thought for a moment, "Gold. He helped you. You're going to trust him, of all people, when he's probably the one behind this?" She asked. "We didn't trust him. That's why Emma used magic instead," Mary Margaret said.

"You can use magic . . ." Regina said, looking at Emma and she smirked. "The saviour. Of course. Well, I can only assume he warned you, then," Regina said. "About what?" Emma asked. "That magic always comes with a price," Regina said.

"Yeah? Well, that's a price we're both going to pay," Emma said. "How's that?" Regina asked. "Rose. She believed in you. Her heart's going to break. That's both our prices," Emma said. Regina shook her head. "No. I will not let you poison Rose against me."

"It's an interesting word choice, since you already did," Emma said. She started to leave and Regina followed her down the walkway, with David and Mary Margaret behind. "I want to see her," Regina said. "She deserves to hear my side of the story! She's my daughter!"

They all stopped as Emma turned around, "She's NOT! She's MINE!" She snapped, "And, after this, you're not getting anywhere near her! Do it!"

Mother Superior appeared from behind a tree and fired a blast of blue magic at Regina. However, she saw it coming in time and stopped it. Regina looked at David and Mary Margaret. "Did you really think that would work again?"

Regina casually tossed the magic orb on the ground near David and Mary Margaret and then looked back at Emma. "You - You will not keep my daughter from me," Regina said and then she magically thrower Emma backwards down the walkway. Mary Margaret ran to help her up.

"So much for fairy dust," Regina said and she stopped closer to Emma. "Maybe some of your newfound magic can save you now."

"I don't need it. I already won. There is no way Rose will swallow your lies about Archie now," Emma said, "You can pretend all you want, but we know how you are, and who you will always be." Defeated, Regina magically disappeared in a puff of purple smoke.

... ...

Emma, David and Mary Margaret were waiting near the bus stop on the main street of Storybrooke. "Rose's bus is going to be here any minute," Emma said. "You can do this," Mary Margaret said.

"Tell my daughter that someone she loved was killed by someone else she cares about? I don't know if I can. Yeah, I don't think I can do any of this. This is like real parent stuff. How can I be a parent if I never was one?" Emma asked. David and Mary Margaret looked at each other and then back at Emma.

"I know. I've been asking myself the same question," David said and Mary Margaret nodded. "Oh, no. You guys don't have to . . . It - It's different," Emma said. "No, it isn't," Mary Margaret said. "And yes, we have to. We can figure it out. So can you."

"You don't know me. You don't know what I was before Storybrooke. And trust me, I was not parent material," Emma said. "Yeah, but we know who you are since you've been here," David said. "What if I revert?" Emma asked, "Regina did."

"You're not going to. And the Emma I know was great with Rose," David said. "I was her parent for five minutes," Emma said. "And I was yours for five minutes, too, but things are different now - for all of us," David said, "We don't have to go through any of it alone. We're family."

The three see Rose got off the bus. Rose frowned slightly as she saw them. Emma walked over by herself to meet her. "Emma. I told you I could walk myself," Rose said. "I know," Emma agreed. "Something happened, and . . . I want you to hear it from me first."

"What is it?" Rose asked, frowning. "Come here," Emma said and she leaded Rose to a bench where the two of them sit down to talk. From the distance, Regina was in her car and watched the scene unfold in the mirror. She begins crying, as she see Emma break the news to Rose. Rose, looking upset, hugged Emma and she hugged back.
