"Even Grandpa Gold was forgiven for what he had done to his loved ones, like my Dad.

Why are you all saying that forgiving is such a good thing, but none of you can forgive each other?!

This is so stupid!

I hate adults sometimes."

"I hope that you stay this way even when you are older, Henry. There needs to be more people like you than people like me."

"You can't be replaced! There won't be another you and I want to get to know you because you're my Mom too, in a way. If you're a part of Mom, then I want you to stay here for a little bit."

"Your parents don't want that, so I will have to go back home."

The Evil Queen didn't have a home, just an old castle that was empty of love and happiness. It was stripped away from her the moment that her Father died and it happened once more when she lost Emma to her own cruelness.

"You won't hurt my Ma, right?"

"No, I won't hurt Emma."

"Just like that, you're going to stop your conquest? Do you know what torture you have put Emma through?" Regina snapped.

"I don't have to know because I can see it on her face, in her eyes, and in her voice, Regina."

"I never want to see you ever again. You don't belong in this land!"

"You can't escape me, Regina. You see me everyday when you look in the mirror."

"At least I can live with the fact that I didn't do what you did to Emma."

The Evil Queen didn't respond because Regina was right. She didn't deserve to live anymore, even if Henry believed that she should. She would indeed return to her land, alone and forgotten.

As she was about to throw a magic bean down on the ground, Henry ran to her, and hugged her tightly. She was lucky that it didn't open a portal when it dropped onto the cement. Neither of them women standing before her would ever forgive her again if they had lost their precious son.

The Evil Queen could only weep as he held onto her tightly, "Don't go, please. I know that I don't know you, but I know that I love my Mom, so I know that I love you too. I don't want you to be alone like Mom was. You don't deserve that and punishing yourself won't make it any better."

"Nobody wants me here, Henry, I have to go."

"Then I'm coming with you."

"Henry…"

"Okay, maybe not, but I want to if it means you wouldn't be alone."

She let go of Henry and bent down on one knee to look at him. She had brushed the hair out of his eyes.

"You look like such a sweet boy and I cannot allow myself to corrupt you in any way. Listen to your parents and go with them. You have taught me the true meaning of love, just like Emma had shown me, even when I did not deserve it."

"You can stay and...and… we can be a bigger family! They say that it's better to have three's than two's. So three mom's would be awesome! It means more presents and more food too."

She couldn't help herself when she let out a small laugh as she kept crying.

Henry wiped her tears away, "Promise you'll visit me though, okay? Every year for my birthday."

"I don't think they would allow me to return."

"If they don't let you, then I'll find you. Grandma says she will always find Grandpa, so I will always find you."

"You be a good boy and listen to your parents. We will meet again one day, if they ever forgive me. Until then, I want you to hold onto this for me and give it back for when I return."

The Evil Queen took out a small necklace that her Father wore that she had always kept with her. It was a locket that had her picture in it and she put it on Henry.

"Whenever you miss me, you can look at this, and always know that I am with you."

Henry held onto her for as long as he could and didn't want to let go of her.

"I have to go, Henry."

"No, you can't!"

"Henry, you have to let me go. The sooner you do, the sooner I will see you."

Henry was now the one crying and he was wiping his nose with his sleeve.

The Evil Queen had taken out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and his nose.

"Princes don't wipe their nose with their sleeves."

"Mom says that too."

She smiled at the boy that was melting her cold heart.

"You keep that safe until I return, understand?"

"Okay, I will."

"Good boy."

She kissed his cheek before releasing him from her embrace and stood away from him as she picked up the magic bean. The magic bean was thrown onto the ground and the portal had opened up.

She took a final glance towards Regina and Emma before leaping into the portal.

She mouthed two words to them, "Thank you".

The Evil Queen had disappeared into the portal that had swallowed her whole.
