So I haven't done angst in awhile...please don't kill me.

When Emma had married Regina, there were certain parts of their wedding vows that she had never expected to fulfill. At least not so soon.

"Hang in there," Emma mumbled, holding Regina's face in her hands. "Don't you dare go anywhere."

"I'm not going to promise anything," Regina mumbled.

"Don't say that," Emma said. "You're going to be fine. I promise." She tucked a stray piece of Regina's hair behind her ear, rubbing the pad of her thumb over Regina's cheek.

"Guess I shouldn't drink anything given to me by Zelena huh?" Regina asked, chuckling.

"It was meant for me," Emma said, tears starting to gather in her eyes. "Why would you drink it?"

"I had a bad feeling," Regina said through clenched teeth as she squirmed painfully. "Guess that bad feeling was warranted."

"There has to be an antidote," Emma said desperately. "Every poison has an antidote, right?"

"Not this one," Regina said. "That's probably why she chose it. I do have to give her credit for being clever."

"Why would she want to kill me?" Emma asked.

"She didn't," Regina said. "She wanted to kill me. She knew that I would get a bad feeling about anything from her and would try it before you could. This is exactly what she meant to happen."

"I can't lose you," Emma said. "I don't know what I'll do without you."

"You're going to take care of our son," Regina said. "That's all that you need to do. I'm sure that your parents will help."

"No, you're going to help," Emma said. "Because you're going to live and you're going to be fine. I know you are."

Regina shook her head sadly. "Not even True Love's Kiss can reverse this poison." She moaned as pain wracked through her body, the poison slowly making its way through her system.

"Is there anything that I can do to ease your pain?" Emma asked.

"No," Regina said. "Unfortunately it's meant to be slow and painful. Trust me, I've used it before on prisoners back in the Enchanted Forest."

"So I just sit here and watch you die?" Emma asked. "That's cruel."

"It's supposed to be," Regina said. "She wanted me to suffer a long and painful death."

"Yeah well," Emma said. "She probably won't be alive too much longer. She's going to pay for what she did to you."

"Don't do that," Regina said. "Killing her won't make you feel any better, I can promise you that much." She bit her lip to keep from crying out as pain wracked through her body.

"Do you remember our wedding vows?" Emma asked. "We were going to write our own, but I couldn't think of what to say so you caved and let us do the traditional ones."

Regina chuckled. "I remember."

Emma smiled at her. "I, Emma, take you, Regina, to be my lawfully wedded wife."

Regina smiled back. "To have and to hold, from this day forward."

Emma leaned down and pressed her lips to Regina's forehead. "For better or for worse."

Regina closed her eyes at the touch of Emma's lips. "For richer or for poorer."

Emma sat back up and pulled Regina to her in a tight embrace. "In sickness and in health."

Regina relaxed in Emma's embrace. "Until death do us part."

"Until death do us part," Emma repeated, squeezing Regina gently. "I love you."

"I love you too," Regina said, closing her eyes. "So much."

Emma held Regina tightly as her heart slowed and eventually stopped. Even after her heart had stopped beating, Emma still held her close. She couldn't find the will to let her go.

Eventually, Emma stood up. She cradled Regina in her arms, carrying her upstairs and laying her gently onto their bed.

"Don't you worry," Emma whispered, stroking Regina's cheek lightly as tears began to fall from her eyes. "I will make her pay for what she did."

I don't know, I think I'll always dislike Zelena. I love Bex as an actress though. She's so good!
