CAP 7

- "What the hell Regina?"- I scream at my sister barely opens the door.

- "Damn little sister you stink of alcohol !" - I had never seen her like that, so careless with her appearance. As if weren`t her.

- "What the hell happened to you?" - I keep being surprised. I think I will not be able to close my mouth anymore.

- "Good morning to you too. Could you please tell me how I can help you? So I tell you not quickly so you`ll leave me alone. "-

Why this reception doesn`t surprises me?

-"What? I can`t come to have lunch with my little sister? Because it's been a week since you saw your niece and I saw my nephew. Robin is missing her aunt, and so am I. A little bit. "-

I know she loves Robin and she knows that I love Henry. As much as it sounds weird we have learned to love ourselves too.

- "Wait did you say lunch?!"-

She really just wakes up.

-"Okay, yes. It's almost noon little sis "- If I was not worried her face would seem funny. I enter without waiting for her to invite me and I put Robin in her arms who is asleep.

- "Don`t give her alcohol" –

- "But please come in" - He says sarcastically.

- "I am also a mother. I would never let an infant get close to alcohol "-

- "Well, today you don`t have much mother appearance" - I know that hurt. But that's the way we are, tough love.

- "So suddenly you're the mother of the year. I must have missed the award ceremony. My deepest apologies"- That is the sister that I love and cannot stand.

- "Can`t I take a break?" –

-"Of what? Life? Because my maternal instinct tells me you have not been resting. You've been drinking "- I say as we enter the kitchen. She`s behind me. I turn around and with a finger pointing at her chest I tell her;

- "You must talk to someone" –

-"With whom? Archie? He's a cricket ! "-

She says scornfully.

-"Actually; I was thinking of me. Sisters` talk "- I answer in mocking tone, but very seriously. I turn again and head to the table in the middle of the kitchen, so I can`t see them anymore.

- "And don`t make me faces. My daughter could learn. "-

- "How did you know?" –

I can see the surprise on her face when sitting down.

-"Why; despite what you believe; I know you well. Now give me back my baby and feed us. "-

She give me my daughter and open the refrigerator, where I can see and hear that there are only bottles. Now it's my turn to make faces.

- "As a matter of facts I think I know why you are like this. Or should I say over whom? "-

She slammed the door and turned her head so fast that I was surprised she had not broken her neck.

She looks pale: with a mixture of anger and fear on her face.

-"What? You don`t scare me. What's wrong with me knowing that you miss her? You miss Emma and it's understandable. We miss those we love "- I say as if it were not transcendental and rolling my eyes.

- "Because we missed you we came to visit you" –

She looks at me and closes and opens her mouth an infinite number of times.

- "Come on little sis, I know you love her since the day you shouted at me that you had chosen to go to the Underworld for her. That caught my attention and I began to pay more attention to you both. I'm not sure that you would have realized then that you were in love. "-

- "I already knew" –

Whispers.

-"What? I did not hear you well "- This woman really needs to talk to someone.

- "I said I already knew that I was in love with her" –

She murmurs looking at the floor as she sits across from me at the table.

-"Then why were you with Robin? Why didn`t you do something? "-

I don`t understand; She was always so stubborn when she wanted something. Why was this different?

- "Because she was already with Hook" –

She still does not look me in the face. It is annoying.

- "We both know that's a shitty excuse !" - I couldn`t contain myself and yelled at her.

- "Zelena ! Robin is here. "-

- "She is too young to understand. She is also asleep. Do not change the subject. Look me in the eyes and tell me that's the real reason. "- I can`t bear to her looking at the table and not have the courage to look me in the face.

-"I'm waiting"-

- "She was with Hook and I was with Robin." –

-"So?"-

- "I couldn`t get in between them. He was supposed to be her happy ending and Robin my soul mate "-

- "Just because a bit of pixie dust; from a Fairy stupid enough to get banish and a silly tattoo? Are you serious?"-

- "I'm not that stupid" –

At last she's reacting, that means we're on the right track.

-"I know. So why don`t you tell me the real reason why you were stupid enough to continue with that nonsense? "- When mentioning the word stupid her eyes open like two plates and now she looks at me in the face.

- "Because it's me, you bitch. I'm not supposed to have a happy ending. I am the damn Evil Queen "-

She screams as she gets up suddenly and hits the table with both fists.

- "Everyone who dared to love me ended up dead. That is my curse. I was protecting her. "-

There are tears in her eyes and it really hurts me to see her like that, but she needs to let go.

I put Robin in her baby carriage. One last push.

- "Who were you protecting sister? Her or yourself? Maybe the Evil Queen was right. Maybe you're just a coward "-

I hope that serves to take everything out because I have no more ammunition.

-"YES! OKAY? YOU'RE RIGHT. I'm a coward. How could I risk my heart again? What if she didn`t feel the same about me? I was not strong enough at that moment, but that doesn`t matter anymore. She already knows what I feel "-

And with those words she finished breaking. With her back resting on the refrigerator, she began to cry, sliding to the floor and bringing her knees to her chest where she hid her face. She looks so small, so destroyed. I swear that if Emma broke my sister I will kill her.

I run to her side and hug her, thanking my daughter for having a heavy sleep. I feel her shoulders tighten when I hug her at first, but after a few minutes she relaxes, hugs me back and starts crying like I've never seen her before.

We stay like that until she falls asleep in my arms.

With all the care I have I lift her trying not to wake her up and take her to the sofa.

How do people manage to do this without magic?

Good thing she's small. All the same is very difficult.

One thing is to carry a baby and another totally different is to carry an adult.

Where the hell is the couch?

Why does this house have to be so big?

- "Because it's my house and I like it that way" -

She mumbles on my shoulder. I must have said things out loud without realizing it.

-"Besides; I do have magic "- And as if nothing she appears on the couch, which is definitely too far away.

I go to her, cover her with a blanket and start stroking her hair.

- "What do you mean, she already knows?" - I ask in a soft tone.

- "Last Sunday she went to look for me at my vault to talk. She began to say that it was her fault that the pirate left her ... and simply ... it escaped me "-

- "You couldn`t stand it anymore" –

-"It wasn`t my intention"-

- "How did she take it? What did she toll you? "- Now I have to know.

-"Nothing. She just left and I have not heard from her since then "-

- "She is stupid if she doesn`t love you. And you are the strongest person I know; You will get over it."-

-"I don`t know. I do not feel very strong now. With Daniel and Robin there was a difference; they were taken from me. But she chose to leave without saying a word. She chose turn her back to me"-

She cried again and after a few minutes she fell asleep again.

The Savior is truly an idiot. Anyone can see that they are in love.

Maybe my sister is not the only one scared.
