To guest Britney I'm very Aussie :) but I do not speak like the people you see in movies that's just stereotypes. I hope use enjoy this chapter.
Romeo sat in the chair in the waiting room at the hospital, his head in his hands and tears streaming down his face. He told himself that he would stay strong but he couldn't, he broke down. He wanted to kick himself for waiting so long to tell her that he loved her and now she might be gone. His child was dead and all he could feel was grief and pain as more tears ran down his face. Ruby could see his pain so she sat down beside him and rubbed circles on his back in an attempt to comfort him. "Hey everything's going to be alright" she said.
" my child she's dead" he replied his voice horse from all his crying.
" I'm so sorry" Ruby replied.
" I'm sorry I'm in love with Regina"
" I know" Ruby replied.
" You, you do?" he said as he raised his head to look at her.
" when you look at her there is nothing but love in your eyes".
" I'm the worst guy on this planet".
" no your not your a good guy".
" How could you even believe that".
" because I know you". She gave him a small smile.
" you fool" rumple yelled as he shoved Jefferson against the wall. " You were supposed to kill her not this".
" why, why does it matter she will suffer now the same way I suffered". Jefferson replied.
" you fool the town will now take pity on her" he spat.
" than what do you suggest I do"
" you dear can do nothing I'll be taking over from here"
" but she will tell the charmings they will come after me"
" No no they won't dearie I've already taken care of that she will have no memory of that short period of time, your face will be nothing but a blurr to her"
" Are you sure"
" yes dearie now please take your leave" he said as he pointed to the door.
Romeo walked into Regina's room to see her lying there staring into space she looked empty and broken. " Regina " Romeo said but she didn't move she just laid still. " I'm sorry ".
She took a deep breath and squeezed her eyes shut clenching her fist. " Regina I ..." but he was cut off by the sound of her voice. " I think you should leave" she said in a broken tone. She didn't even turn to face him she couldn't, she didn't want him to leave but every time she saw him he would be a reminder of what she had lost. " but Regina" he pleaded.
" Please go" and at that he left his head hung low. He stopped just in front of the door before taking one last look at the woman he loved but he knew it was to late this was his fault for not being there. He opened his mouth to tell her again that he loved her but closed it he has already caused to much pain. Henry had got news of his mother consciousness and ran past the staff and into her room nearly knocking over Romeo as he left the room. " I'm sorry" he said.
" Don't worry about me Henry, I'm sure your mother will be over the moon to see you" Romeo replied with a sad smile. Henry was going to ask why he was sad but he caught a glimpse of his mother and ran into the room. " mum" he said as her quickly made himself to her side wrapping his arms around her. She wrapped her arm around her boy not wanting to let go as she held back her tears. Romeo watched from the distance of mother and son interaction it brought a small smile to his face maybe there was hope that they will get there happy ending, but maybe his wasn't with her maybe they just weren't meant to be.
Romeo walked into the waiting room head hung low where he saw Ruby sitting waiting patiently. " hey" she said. " how's Regina".
" she's recovering well I" he said his voice low. " she doesn't want to see me again".
" why" Ruby replied.
" I failed her I should of been there, if I was". Ruby placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. " there's no way you could of known, she will come around".
" no I don't think she will".
Regina had been let out of hospital some of the towns people wanted her locked up but because of her condition she was put under house arrest, meaning her plans for a small funeral was delayed. She sat in her chair at her desk at her study. She hadn't allowed herself to cry since the incident but right now she broke she couldn't hold back the tears forany longer they rolled down her face. She heard knocking at her door she quickly wiped away the tears on her face know it would be the hero prince charming to come check up on her. She swung her front door open to her surprise she saw Gold. " Gold?" she said as if she was asking why he was here.
" yes dearie it is me who else were you expecting" he said as she made his way inside. " What do you want Gold" she said as they walked into the loungeroom.
" we have a score to settle" he said.
" and what is it we have to settle" she replied.
" you locked Belle up locked her away for over three decades"
" I could of killed" she said " but i didn't I kept her alive" she said as she tried to plead her case.
" no " Gold said as he grabbed her hand pressing the amulet into her skin. She looked at him with fear in her eyes. " oh so you do no what this is dearie" he said. He leaned into her and whispered into her ear " a fate worse than death". But before she could say another word he blew a white powder into face knocking her unconscious. Her visioned blurred as she found herself tired she put her hand back to try and brake her fall as she fell back onto the couch. Her head lolled to the side and her eyes fell shut. He hovered above her and said. " sweet dreams dearie" with a grin on his face before exiting the house.
James knocked on Regina's front door to check on her but there was no answer. He continued knock but still no answer he found himself worried about Regina's well being and it scared him a little he should hate her but he didn't. He managed to open the door he walked in calling out her name but still no answer. He peeped his head into the lounge room where he saw Regina sitting on the couch shaking. " Regina?" he said. Her head snapped up to where she saw David standing in fronton her. " I'm sorry dear I mustn't of heard you come in"
" Are your alright?" he asked.
" Yes dear just a little shaken up a bad dream nothing more"
" Are you sure you'll be fine?"
" yes, now shouldn't you run off to your precious Snow"
" Only if your positive that your alright" he insisted.
" yes dear I'm fine thank you for the concern, but if you stay here people are going to start to talk".
" ok only because your sure". She gave him a tight smile in hopes on fooling him she really didn't want to burden him with her troubles. Especially not him he's a charming Snow Whites husband. Once he left the house she looked down at her palm where she saw the symbol of the amulet burnt into her skin she knew she didn't have long now until the wraith would hunt her down and suck out what's good thats left if her broken soul. In times like this she would talk to her best friend Romeo. Ah Romeo the thought of him made tears swell in Regina's eyes. She wanted nothing but to be wrapped up in his warms strong arms like the night when they made love. Her heart ached at the thought of him maybe once the wraith got her the pain would go away.
Romeo sat in a booth at granny diner staring intently at his phone. He was looking at the picture of him and Regina that he took in his office. She was sitting in her chair looking unimpressed while crouched down beside her. Her arms were crossed and an eyebrow raised in displeasure she had a lot of work to do that day but he still maged to get that picture. A smile ran across his face as he remembered that day.
Later that day the Charming family went to check on Regina again while Henry was at school. They made there way inside where they saw a creature sucking away Regina's soul. Snow grabbed the nearest objects to create a flame scaring the creature away. Regina dropped to the ground only to be caught by James. He steadied her onto to feet the interaction was somewhat awkward. " what was that?" Emma asked.
" A wraith" Regina replied.
" did I " Snow said only to be cut off by Regina.
" Kill it know you can't kill something that's already dead it will not leave until its devoured it prey, me"
" than how do we get rid of it?" James asked
" by letting it get me" she said.
" no absolutely not" his words shocked Regina and snow and not to forget Emma. " why not it get rid of your problem me and the wraith" she said
" no there's got to be a better way" he replied.
