I don't live in Boston or Maine. Okay, so the drive between Boston and Maine (according to Google Maps) is 4 hours, I don't know if there are planes that go Boston-Maine, but let's say there are.

Boston

"Do you have to go?" Regina asked them pleadingly.

"We've been through this. But, don't worry we'll come again." Rumple said.

"You just worry about the human life you're carrying." Belle said lovingly.

"At least let me drive you to the airport." Rumple knew they wouldn't be able to talk her out of it so he sighed and nodded.

"Geez, Rumple, you don't have to be so excited." Regina said sarcastically.

Rumple and Belle gathered their bags in the hall and waited for Regina. Regina was up in her room holding Henry's book. "I have to do this." Regina whispered to herself and put a letter she wrote the previous night inside it, and then she put it in her bag. She went downstairs and found Belle and Rumple waiting for her in the hall.

"Okay, let's go." Regina said and grabbed her coat.

"Finally, what took you so long?" Regina chose to ignore that comment and waited for them to exit. She locked the doors and went to the spot where her car stood.

The trip to the airport didn't last long. Regina parked in front of the airport and went inside it with Rumple and Belle.

"When's your flight?" Regina asked when they got close to the gate that they were supposed to leave.

"It's for another half an hour." Belle said.

"I have to go." Regina said when she checked her iPhone.

"Why? What's going on?" Rumple asked half alarmed.

"Nothing to worry about, the people who are supposed to deliver and put together the baby's crib are there. But I can stay for another five minutes." Regina explained.

"No, you go, we can manage." Belle reassured her.

"Okay, well, before the goodbye, I have a favour." Regina said and took out Henry's 'Once Upon a Time' book from her bag, and checked to see if the letter was still in there. "Inside of this, there is a letter, for Henry. I want him to have his book back and to be able to read the letter. You don't have to give it to him, just make sure he gets it, okay?"

"Okay." Regina then hugged Belle and then hugged Rumple "Take care." She whispered to him and let them go. She went to her car and drove back to her apartment. Some people were and the entrance carrying a box and waiting for someone to let them in.

"Excuse me. Are you the people who are supposed to deliver the crib for my baby?" Regina asked and got affirmative nods. "Sorry you had to wait." She said and let them in the building. She led them to her apartment and unlocked the door.

"Where would you like the crib placed?" One of the men asked.

"Let me show you the nursery." Regina said and led them to the room next to hers. The room was painted baby blue colour that matched for both girl and a boy. There wasn't any furniture in the room yet.

"Do you need anything?" Regina asked.

"No, thank you."

Storybrooke

Belle and Rumple entered the town and Rumple felt a rush of magic going through him.

"It's good to be home. Do you want to go for burgers and iced tea in Granny's?" Belle asked.

"Yes." Rumple answered shortly. They parked the car in front of Granny's and went in. They sat for the table near the window.

"Hey, Belle." Ruby waved at her friend and went to take the orders from them. "What can I get for you, Belle, Mr. Gold?"

"We'll have two burgers and two iced tea. Thank you." Belle said.

They were halfway through their meal when Emma, and Snow sat in the table in front of them and started talking about Henry, not paying attention to them.

"He's there every day he gets back from school!" Emma said.

"Emma, I'm sure it's nothing, he just misses her." Snow tried to calm her down.

"I know that, but he won't talk to me! He's mad at me! He blames me! Yesterday I couldn't find him anywhere, I went to Regina's house and found him on her bed sleeping, it was obvious that he cried himself to sleep. And every day after school he goes there, every day, he's in her room clinging desperately to her pillow, hoping she would be back. I can't look at him like that, it breaks my heart to see him cry and know that if I try something it'll only make it worse! Regina raised him, she'd knew how to soothe him, but I don't. I've never felt so helpless like I do this last four months." Emma said, their conversation was loud but not enough so that it could attract attention of the whole diner.

"Belle, let's go, I know exactly where to leave the book." Rumple exclaimed.

Later that day, Henry was walking back from school when he took the left turn –the one that lead to Mifflin Street instead of the right one that lead to The Charmings' place. He unlocked the door and went directly in Regina's room. He throw himself at her bed, he grabbed one of her pillows and inhaled her scent. It's been four months since she was gone and he missed her more and more every day. He then noticed that the doors from her walk in closet were open, "that's strange, I could swear that those doors were closed." He thought and went in.

He noticed the brown cover of some book sticking out from under the clothes that were left. He moved the pieces of clothing and saw that it was his book. He took the book and went back to the room, he sat on the bed and opened it. He flipped through the pages when he noticed an envelope inside it. On the envelope Henry was written with the elegant handwriting that could only belong to Regina.

"Mom." Henry said out loud when he realised that she was the one who wrote on the envelope. He opened the envelope and found the letter, the first thing noticed was the date. "It's dated to yesterday! But how's the possible?" He started to read the letter.

My dearest Henry,

I miss you more that you can imagine, I guess that's why I'm writing this. This wasn't your fault, okay? It wasn't Emma's or... Robin's. It was no one's fault, I left because I couldn't take it anymore, because I had to have a fresh start. I won't say that it's better because it's not, because you are not here.

Leaving you was the most difficult thing I've ever done, and I've done a lot of difficult things. When I got you, you were beautiful. You were the only one who believed in me, who gave me a chance, even if you didn't understand the word I said. When I'd come home from work and find your chubby face smiling at me I'd know I've found something to live for.

And again don't blame Emma, she was trying to do the right thing. She needs you just like I needed you, you gave me hope when there was none, you should try and do the same for her.

My little prince, I love you so much and I am living for the next day I get to see you.

Mom.

By the time he finished he was crying, but he didn't care, he put the letter back into the envelope and that back in the book. He took his backpack, put the book in it and left the house and went straight to The Charming's apartment. He knocked, Emma opened the door and he hugged her, she instantly lowered down on his level and put her arms around her.

"I'm sorry I blamed you." He mumbled still holding her.

"It's okay. Not that I'm complaining but why did you stop blaming me?" Emma asked.

"Because of mom, she wrote me a letter. She explained it to me."

Emma wanted to know all about the letter but she kept quiet because it felt so good having her son back in her arms after four months.


I'm sorry there was no Robin in this chapter, maybe the next one? Leave a review or a PM. And also someone suggested that I write in Zelena in the story so how many of you would want that?
