A small warm hand immediately reached out and grabbed onto Regina's arm. Emma was standing right there at her side holding her making sure she was okay. Regina was mad that Emma didn't think she could do this on her own but soon became washed with gratitude. Regina leaned on Emma for balance. Without Emma she would have fallen down.

The voices could be heard from inside the house. The family pretended they couldn't hear them. They wanted to believe as if they weren't there. Regina couldn't take it anymore she got up and ran downstairs.

Emma shot up immediately, "Regina? It's okay."

"They are coming back. You are in danger. They are going to kill me. You have to go. I won't let you get messed up in this," Regina pleaded.

"It's okay, Regina. I am not going anywhere now, or ever. I will be here for you from this moment on. I will not allow them to hurt you. From the first moment I saw you I have been silently dreaming, silently hoping. Hoping that one day you and me could be together. I have loved you from the first moment I saw you. Regina, you don't need to worry they are out there living their lives and we are all safe in here. I will always protect you." Emma didn't understand one curial detail. No one wanted to stop until they killed her. They were still planning on hurting Regina. Emma didn't think they would after almost killing her. Wasn't that enough? Hadn't they taken enough? There was not much more left of Regina to take. Her whole life everyone had taken. When she became the Evil Queen, she finally started to take things for herself. She was not weak; no one dared take from her again, until now.

Regina looked back into Emma's eyes. Both women had tears in their eyes.

"Emma, I love you," Regina whispered.

Emma leaned forward taking away what little personal space they had.

"I love you too."

Emma was so close to Regina. Their lips only seconds apart. Regina had longed for the day she kisses Emma Swan. Although she never thought it would happen, she dreamed of her beautiful lips on top of her own. It was finally about to happen when the yelling came louder and louder. Regina knew they had come back. She was not about to let them take her family.

"Get the hell out of here you bastards!" Emma screamed.

"Emma!" Snow screeched.

"What has she done to her!" someone shouted.

"Do I have to repeat myself? GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Emma repeated with more forcibly.

The crowd started to back up with looks of shock, fear, and confusion. Within a few short moments everyone had left the yard besides Snow.

"Emma," she repeated. Suddenly Snow started sobbing. She was finally seeing her daughter, but she was with Regina.

"I never want to see you again," Emma coldly stated, "Go with them, get the hell away."

"Emma, please come with me! You don't know the things she has done!" Snow yelled but Emma interrupted her.

"But I do know what you have done! You almost killed her! That was twenty years ago! Regina has changed she is a kind loving person. I don't give a shit what she has done in the past. Get out of my sight." Emma spoke with a tone of disgust.

Emma turned around and walked back inside with her arm still around her love.
