Chapter 4 - Back together

Rosealie's POV

Dad and I was in the stables waiting for mom to come so we could leave. I remember I wasn't so thrilled about this, I knew we had to, but it didn't meant that I liked it. All I could think of was how much I would miss grandpa and Snow.

Mom shoved up in view running up to the stables. When she came inside dad shoved up from the back.

"Are you ready?" He asks mom. As I took moms hand and dad came towards us. Mom and dad kissed holding their arms around me. I smiled happy.

"Let's go." Mom and dad walked towards the door before me so I didn't see why they stopped at first but then I could hear her voice. I became really scared.

"You could at least left a note." Cora said and held up her hands and pushed mom and dad back into the stables with her magic. When I saw she's about to use magic I ran into Rocinante's box to hide. Trying to keep quite, as I knew Cora hadn't seen me.

Cora closes all the doors into the stable with magic, I felt myself shaking in the box. Trying to see what was going on.

"Mother I.."

"Don't. You sneak out my house in the dead of night and think I won't notice? How dare you?"

"You're impossible to talk to. Stop with the magic and listen to me. I want to be with Daniel."

"You don't know what you want. But I do. I didn't make the sacrifices I did in life to get you to the cusp of greatness, so that you could end up the wife of a stable boy."

"It's my life!"

Cora laughed. "You foolish girl. It's mine. After what I had to to, the deals I had to make to get us out of poverty, to get us this life. And you just wanna thus it away?"

"Stay strong Regina." I heard dad's voice.

"Your magic can't keep us apart. I LOVE him."

"And I love her." Dad said.

"And I love her too." Cora snaps.

"If you love me you wouldn't try to keep us apart."

"And if you love me you wouldn't try to run away." Cora answered back.

"I'm sorry but this is my happiness. We're going."

"No, you're not." Cora said, lifted her hand and I could see her magic float through it.

"So what's you plan? You're going to keep us here forever? Because that's what you'll have to do." Mom backs back to dad and he put his hand around her arms, protectively.

"So this is your decision? This will make you happy?"

"It already has."

"Then who am I to stop you." I saw how mom walked towards Cora and embraced her happy.

"Thank you mother."

Cora looked over to dad and then walked towards him. "Daniel. If you wanna have a life together, a family. Then there is one important lesson I can import on you. It's what it means to be a parent. You'll always have to do what's best for your children." Does she know? I remember thinking.

"Thank you. I understand. Because that's what you're doing now."

"Yes, it is." She put her hand inside of dad's chest.

"MOTHER!" Mom yelled. And then Cora ripped out dad's heart. I couldn't make anything out, it felt like I was falling. I didn't knew what was up or down. I felt sick.

"NOOOOOO! No, no." Cora crushed the heart.

"Mother why have you done this?" Mom asked with tears running down her cheeks. I could almost hear her heart breaking.

"Because this is your happy ending."

"What?" Mom was crying. I couldn't cry, I was in shock I think. I just sat with my back against the wall of the box staring into nothing. Rocinante was kicking with her legs in the hay. It was like she felt mom was upset.

"You have to trust me Regina. I know best. Love is weakness Regina! It feels real know at the start, it always does. But it's an illusion. It fades. And then you're left with nothing. But power, true power endures. An then you don't have to rely on anyone to get what you want. I've saved you, my love."

"You've ruined everything. I loved him. I LOVED HIM!"

"Enough! I've endured this long enough. Now, clean yourself up. Wipe away your tears. Because now, you're going to be Queen."

I heard them walk out of the stables. I didn't want to follow them, not right away. As I sneaked around the door of the box, I saw mom looking back over her shoulder towards me, our eyes meet. I didn't know that this was the last time, in a very long time I would look into those loving eyes again.

Writer's POV

Rosalie was sitting inside her car looking up at the big white house with the big gold numbers 108 on the front door. She was thinking back on the last day she had seen her mother. She thought of the last look she had got from her mother. Those eyes, those eyes that always looked at her with so much love. Would they be the same now? She could feel how much her heart ached after her mother, but she couldn't embrace herself to get out of the car and walk through the gate and walk up to the front door.

She looked up at the house again, the house reminded her so much of her house in DC. It looked almost the same as the white house, just smaller. She thought of her parents back in DC, where they looking for her? Or would they understand that she had to leave? So she took up her phone from her bag, she had around 20 missed calls. All from her parents of course. And a lot of texts. She couldn't bare to read them or text them back. It was for the best she thought. I can't go back now, this is where I belong. I know that now, I'm not backing out.

She opened the door and got out of the car. She pulled the gate open and walked straight up to the front door. And with her finger almost at the doorbell, she pulls it back. But then she takes a deep breath and then put her finger on the doorbell. She can hear the sound of the bell through the door.

After minute she heard steps inside and then the door opened.

"Who're you?" Regina asks with a strong voice.

She smile wide at the woman in front of her. She was even more beautiful than she remembered her. Rosalie throws herself at her with her arms around her neck.

"Mom. It's me."

Regina was surprised when the girl throw her arms around her, just like that. No fear. But when the girl spoke those three worlds, she felt tears in her eyes. Could it really be?

"It's me, Rose." Rosalie says again as she pulls away. She looks into her mothers eyes and she see that same look she was so afraid was lost forever.

"Rose.. how? I thought you where dead." Regina ask with a low voice.

"Well I'm sure isn't." Rosalie smiled.

"But mother said…"

"Cora said what? How could she even know? She wasn't the one to take me away."

Regina looked at her daughter, she looked exactly like her, except for her smile, that was Daniel's smile. "Let's go inside." She says looking back at the street, like she's making sure that no one sees them.

She holds the door open for Rosalie to go inside and then she walks inside after her and closes the door.

While inside Rosalie had walked up for the small stairs that was leading up from the door up to the hall. She looked around, everything was so light and beautiful. She was a little bit surprised by that. She had heard that the Queens palace had been all in black.

"Your house is so beautiful. Not as I expected." She slips the last part out.

Regina smiles. "So what did you expect? It to be all black and dark? Remember I was to be a different person her, I wanted to have a new life."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way. And I know and understand why you did it. I just wished I had found you sooner." Rosalie says looking down with tears in her eyes.

"Hey! It's okay, you're here know and that's all that matters." Regina says in a loving voice. "But you have to tell me what happened? Do you remember everything? And where have you been, I know that you haven't been in Storybrooke because I would have remembered you." Regina rambles out a lot of questions that Rosalie had a hard time keeping up with.

"Mom, slow down." Regina stops talking and takes a deep breath.

"Sorry."

"I will tell you everything. But…" Her stomach is making a loud noise.

"First things first I guess." Regina laughs, a real true laugh. She thinks that it had been a long time since she had laughed like that, for real, without a smirk or a need to fake it. Maybe she could be happy.
