A/N: I have one thing to say about this chapter... heartache, heartache, heartache! I spent hours crying over this, I had to take mini breaks to compose myself. My internet decided to give me issues so I am posting a little later than I hoped, but as promised - here it is. Enjoy!

It was now lunch time. Emma hadn't come out of her office for one second. She was heartbroken to say the least. Felt betrayed by the one person she loved. What's worse - she was lied to time and time again. She spent all of her time in that room thinking about just how many times did Regina lie to her and possibly laugh behind her back along with Daniel because she was made a fool of. Regina said time and time again that she loved her, so what changed? Was it all a game? And Daniel… how many times did he sit there in front of her - shook her hand. Emma's hatred grew in a matter of seconds, ever since she glanced down at those papers.

How many times did Regina look her in the eyes feeding her all those lies of love and devotion? Emma couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her eyes, which were now irritated from all the crying she had done since that morning. She had landed on her chair, tired and breathless from practically breaking everything in sight in her study, but now she was on the floor, just behind her desk. Her mind exhausted, her heart aching more than before when things were bad between them. Her knuckles red and beat up from each punch she threw at the wall.

Laughter was heard coming from the other end of the door, into the living room area from no other than Regina and Mary Margaret who had just arrived home after a long but fun morning. Emma's head raised up from her knees, glancing over at the door as she heard the one person she had been waiting for.

August stood up from the couch, with worry in his eyes as he glanced over at a very happy brunette. He hadn't moved from that couch ever since Emma told him to leave her alone.

Regina placed all of their bags down, undoubtedly filled with baby items as she looked over at a worried August, "August, wait until I show you all the stuff we picked up for the baby."

The man stood silent, eyes never leaving her smile which he knew soon would disappear.

"Where's Emma? I want to show her too." her smile now disappearing as she grew worried over the man's utter silence, "What's wrong, August?"

He couldn't say it. He wasn't sure if there was any way to explain what just happened that morning. But, he forced words out anyway, "Regina… Emma…"

"Emma, what?" Regina asked, showing signs of more worry.

"Emma knows." he released a deep sigh as he talked more clearer, "She knows about Daniel."

"What?" Regina's eyes grew wide with fear, all the color draining from her entire body in seconds. She wasn't sure if he even heard her since now her words seemed to be caught in her throat, "How?"

"Robert was here, he seemed to have found out about Daniel. He left her a folder with his information, including a picture." he said in a low tone of voice, worried about Emma listening in.

"Oh, my God… she knows…" was all Regina could master as tears formed around her eyes. In that moment her own mind raced with so many questions, one of them being, how exactly did Robert manage to find out about Daniel and Greg being the same person. And why on earth would he even care to inform Emma about it?

"She's been in her office all morning. She's doing bad. I've never seen her like this, Regina." August hated seeing Emma in pain, but it hurt him more seeing the pain in Regina's eyes, only confirming that she in fact did hide him from Emma.

"I have to talk to her." Regina didn't give it a second thought as she began to hurry her way towards the doors of her wife's study, only to be pulled back by a frightened August.

"You can't do that." he said as he yanked her away from the door.

"August, I need to-"

"Regina, you didn't see what I saw. It's best you let her cool down. Let me get you out of here until she does, okay?" he argued as his grip remained on her arm.

Regina expected for Emma to be doing bad after finding out about Daniel. Why shouldn't she be? For a long time she felt threatened by him - by his memory alone. She felt scared over losing Regina to him. She knew she should have been honest with her when she had asked her, she learned that much from Emma. But, if there was one thing she also learned from Emma was that she could be just as stubborn as the blonde. Regina had matured more and more throughout her marriage, and Emma always said she could talk about their problems. No - she wasn't backing out now. If Emma had found out about Daniel, it was best to confront her about it.

"She's my wife, August, we have to talk about this. I know things seem bad, but I swear to you it isn't what it seems. She needs to know that-" Regina's words were interrupted by the sound of a door opening as a very angry Emma walked her way over to where she stood, "Emma."

"When were you going to tell me?" she asked, the pain and anger being heard clear through her voice, "Were you even ever going to tell me?"

"Of course I was, Emma, and I know what you must be thinking of me. I was wrong to keep it from you, but you have to believe me - this isn't what you think." said Regina as she took a step back from her.

"No?" asked Emma as tears ran down her eyes, her lip twitching in pure anger. She was ready to explode at any moment.

Emma had been angry before, she's been a witness to her anger before, but this was a whole new level.

"Of course not, Emma." Regina assured her.

"Then, why… why didn't you ever tell me?" Emma's voice raised in question as she took another step forward, her anger rising from Regina's complete silence, "Answer me! Why?!"

"Just calm down. Please." Regina placed her hands out in front of her, wanting to stop Emma from coming any closer as she herself took a step back from her.

"I gave you every chance, every chance to be honest with me. I've been nothing but honest with you, the least you could have done was to be honest with me!" Emma shouted as her steps towards Regina grew in a fast pace, causing a frightened Regina to take faster steps backward.

"I was honest with you!" Regina shouted as she stood her ground against the fuming blonde.

"That's bullshit! Had you been honest with me, you would have told me that Daniel was living here, but instead you kept quiet!" Emma shouted, which had Mary Margaret and August watching in fear. He wanted to intervene but even he wasn't sure that was a good idea at the moment. His eyes never left Emma though.

"That was my mistake!" Regina told her as she continued through tears, "You're right, you deserved nothing but my honesty, and I should have told you - I tried to so many times, but I knew you would get this way. I was scared, you have to understand that. After I realized I had fallen in love with you, I was scared of losing you over my stupid mistake-"

"Stop lying to me!" Emma shouted as she took another step, making Regina to back up against the wall, "Everything was all a lie… everything." Regina shook her head as she looked into her wife's eyes. It scared her that she no longer saw compassion, she no longer saw love. All she saw was hatred and pain, "You loving me was a lie. And like an idiot I believed you." a dry chuckle escaped her chest as tears ran down her dark green eyes.

Regina did the one thing she could think of in that moment. She cupped Emma's face with both hands as she locked her brown sad, worried eyes into green, hurt green ones, "It's not a lie, Emma! I love you. You're my everything." she murmured.

Emma backed away, "Don't you dare touch me!" she shouted, but her action only made Regina be as stubborn as she was and cling on to her, placing her hands back to the sides of her face.

"Look at me! You can always tell when I am being honest with you. I love you. You. Not him. You!" tears ran down her eyes, her nose red and from all the crying.

But Emma only grew furious. The last thing she wanted was to be touched by Regina. She grabbed a hold of the brunette's wrists then as she shouted, her grip tightening, "You expect me to believe that?! After finding out that Greg is actually Daniel?! All this fucking time, Regina!"

August couldn't take it anymore, for he stepped towards the two women, capturing Emma's immediate attention, "Emma, take it easy!" he shouted as he quickly composed himself, "She's pregnant."

Silence filled the room as Emma backed away from Regina, her eyes shifting between her and August as she simply shook her head.

"That baby isn't even mine."

No one was prepared for those words that had just come out of Emma. She was denying an innocent child. Her child. Hers and Regina's. Mary Margaret's own tears made their way down, as her hand covered her mouth in full surprise. August's own eyes grew wide as flying saucers, as did Regina's. It pained Emma to say such words, but the pain she felt in her heart hurt beyond anything else. How could she be sure about the baby? How, when Daniel was there this whole time.

"How dare you say that?!" Regina was now furious. Of course, she expected for Emma to think the worst, but she never imagined to hear it come out of her own mouth. "You are the only person I have ever been with, and it's been that way ever since we married. Even before that. I never belonged to Daniel. I stopped loving him a long time ago - I only love you."

"If that were true, you would have told me the minute he set foot in this house." her anger only grew, as she remembered all those times she ever came to consider Daniel a friend, feeling even more stupider by the minute, "It's no wonder he left. He looked me in the eye so many times. God, I… I told him about us!" her fingers ran through her hair in frustration, "Tell me something and for the love of God, be honest with me. Did you ever meet up with him behind my back?"

She could say no. And if she said no, she felt Emma would forgive and forget then and there, because in that moment she could see a glimpse of hope in the blonde's green eyes. Hope that Regina was so in love with her that she never agreed to see him even if he wanted to see her.

"Yes." Regina voiced quietly, she hoped Emma couldn't hear her answer. She couldn't let her down more, even if this made Emma not want to see her ever again and think the worst - she had to be honest. She deserved that much after all this.

Tears fell from Emma's own eyes as she heard Regina's answer. Regina could see the hope Emma still held on to fall just as well, along with those tears. She hated herself for hurting her once again.

"And you still expect me to believe me that baby didn't come from him?" asked Emma.

Regina's eyes went dark with anger, she hated what Emma was thinking about her and she prayed she wouldn't voice it, because even she didn't know what she'd do.

"If I met with Daniel, it was only to tell him - to beg him that he had to leave. I told him time and time again to leave, but he wouldn't listen." replied Regina.

"Time and time again? Please, Regina… you changed with me ever since he arrived in this house. Of course, it was so easy to open your legs to me - why wouldn't it be easier to do it with him?"

Slap!

The sound echoed across the room as Regina's hand met with Emma's cheek. Mary Margaret's own tears ran down her face, as Regina's hand felt the sting of that hard given slap, now angry due to Emma's hurtful words.

"You once said, you had no doubt in my love for you anymore. That you had no doubt that I no longer loved him. Well, see that now! I'm having this baby - our baby! You can't… you can't just throw that away now. He's gone. Daniel is gone. And weather you like it or not, his is my home too. You are my wife, and I belong with you." tears and tears ran down Regina's eyes, "If you are going to let something like this get in between us after everything I've proven to you these past weeks - then you are an idiot, Emma Swan."

Emma's cheek was a shade of pink after that slap she had received, even she knew she deserved it after what she had said. She knew she had crossed a line.

"You get your things, and you go. Go with him, go with your parents, I don't care where. Just go." replied Emma as her eyes soon looked over to a wounded Mary Margaret, "You pack your things and you leave with her."

Six pair of eyes grew wide in shock.

"What?" Regina murmured.

"Emma, what the fuck?" said a now angry August.

"Emma, you want me out of here - that's fine, but you have to think about what you're doing right now-" replied Regina, trying to bring some sense into her. It was one thing to kick her wife out, but her own mother - that was unforgivable.

"You two are always together. How do I know she didn't help you keep your secret?" asked Emma as her eyes fell on the older woman again, "Are you going to lie to me too, Mary and tell me that you didn't know he was Daniel?"

Mary Margaret didn't have the heart to lie to her own daughter. Tear after tear escaped as she could see the pain Emma was feeling. The pain Regina was feeling. And she hated causing her more pain with the answer she was about to give, but she couldn't lie. Not to Emma.

"I did know." she murmured as her head hung in shame, not being able to look at Emma in the eye.

"If Regina never said anything, then why couldn't you?" asked Emma.

"Ma'am, I-I…" she stammered through her words which were soon cut short by Regina's quick reply.

"I asked her not to say anything. I wanted to be the one to tell you."

"Thank you so much for telling me." Emma replied in a cold and sarcastic tone.

"I'll get my things." Mary Margaret's voice was quietly heard as she walked away, August following not far behind.

"Emma, you can say whatever you want to me. You can blame me if that makes you feel better. I was at fault anyway for not telling you in the first place, you're right. But you can't kick Mary out, and you can not deny this baby now. Because like it or not, it is yours - and Mary, she, she's-"

"I've heard enough of your lies, Regina." that was the last thing Emma said as she walked away, slamming the doors shut to her study, not caring that Regina was close behind as she slammed the doors in her face, locking them in place.

"Emma! Emma, you have to hear me out, you will regret this if you don't!" Regina shouted as she pounded on the doors with no success of her opening up. "Emma!"

Emma didn't get very far, as her body rested up against the very same locked doors her wife was pounding on in that very moment. Soft sobs came out of the blonde as she heard Regina's voice breaking with no doubt, tears of her own and pain. Regina was hurt and she knew that, but she was tired of being lied to and even though Emma was wrong - right now all she could think about was how she was lied to once again. She just wanted it all to stop. She wanted Regina gone.

Eventually Regina gave up in trying to get Emma to listen to her. It was pointless. She didn't come out once, not even as Regina left the door and headed upstairs to pack her things as Emma had wanted.

Regina stood in what had been their bedroom for the longest while. Tears fell as she looked around their room, their perfectly made bed. She allowed herself to sit down on Emma's side as she hugged her pillow, holding it close to her, burying her face deep into it as she took in the blonde's intoxicating scent. Soft sobs now escaping her.

There was no question - no doubt that she would miss Emma. She loved her. She needed no more proof of that. Her heart was aching worse than ever, even worse than when she cried for Daniel. She had just hurt the woman she loves. She betrayed her by not trusting her with the truth. If anything, she knew Emma had a right to kick her out. Yet, there was still a hint of hope that her wife would come to her senses sooner than later.

It didn't take long for Regina to gather her things. Mary Margaret didn't have much carrying with her, so she had gone up to help Regina pack, along with August.

As for August, he loved Emma dearly, but right now he hated seeing his two favorite women cry as they finished packing.

"You can't possibly leave like this. Emma, she's - she's just letting her anger speak for her." said August, wishing he could do more.

"Which is why I must leave, August. She's right to feel betrayed by me." replied Mary Margaret.

"This isn't right and you know it. You're her mother for God's sake! She has to know right now - this can't end this way." he replied as he angrily began making his way out of the bedroom, only to be pulled back in by the smaller older woman.

"August Booth. You aren't saying anything. Let us leave, give her time to cool off." Mary Margaret said firmly as she looked into the man's sad eyes, "She won't see reason right now, August. Emma needs you here. Call her friend Graham, call Father Gabriel. If Emma will listen to anyone, it's him. I'll take care of Regina. You take care of Emma for me, just as you did all those years ago."

August Booth was tough. He was never known to shed a tear for anyone in his life. Even as a boy all those years ago, he didn't cry as Mary Margaret said goodbye to him, and he loved her just as much even then. She was like his own mother.

So, he nodded and sighed in frustration just as he did when he was that small boy, being left in charge and as a trusted guardian to Emma.

Mary Margaret gave him a sad smile as she placed a kiss on his scruffy bearded cheek, as her hand cupped his face. There were no more words left to be said. Regina however was not ready to leave, as she stood in the same place she had been in as she packed, only now she was taking one last look around the room, allowing her mind and eyes to drink in every last detail. Memories of her and Emma's previous love making swimming in her brain. The thought of not feeling her wife's soft, loving touch anymore killed her. The thought of not waking up next to her warm embrace, or looking into sleepy green eyes as a bright smile formed on her lips from happiness of waking up to the love of her life. The thought of never kissing those warm, thin, pink lips again. All that happiness just gone.

"Ma'am." Regina was pulled from all her thoughts as she felt a hand placing itself on her arm, "We should go. Emma will come around, I promise you. She just needs time."

Regina couldn't say anything else. All her fight and energy gone. Mary Margaret was right, Emma just needed time. She needed to believe that she would come looking for her, hopefully soon. If Emma had time to think the worst, then she had to have time to think and remember just how much she loved her. Think about how real all those lovable times were with each other.

Both women carried their suitcases as they made their way out of the room.

"Hold up you two. You aren't leaving here by yourselves. I'll take you wherever you need to go." said August as he took both their suitcases and carried them as he walked behind them as they made their way down the stairs and out the door.

Hours went by, the house was silent. Emma stepped outside of her office, taking quick notice in the noticeable silence that surrounded her. Just as Regina, she too hadn't stopped crying for one second. With no sign of Regina anywhere around the house, no noises to be heard, she headed up the stairs and down the end of the hallway into what used to be their bedroom. It was just as silent. Her exhausted, puffy eyes roamed around the room and onto the bed. A bed that would now feel empty, alone and cold.

She made her way into the bathroom as her memories of many enjoyed showers together flashed before her eyes. Her thoughts didn't last long, for she glanced over at Regina's silk nightgown hanging on a towel rack. With everything that had happened, she completely forgot about that one and just focused on taking her silk pajamas.

Emma took the silk fabric in her hands, allowing the material to run smoothly across her fingers as she walked out of the bathroom as she held it in her grasp. Regina's soft, sweet perfume still lingering out of the material. Tears fell from Emma's eyes once again as she brought it up to her nose, inhaling sharply, taking in the brunette's addicting scent. The material quickly becoming soaked up by Emma's tears as she broke into a muffled sob, as her body collapsed onto the bed - realization hitting her once again of Regina's lies and betrayal.

"What do you mean kicked you out?! I told you, Regina. You needed to be more careful. I warned you this would happen." shouted Cora, after Regina had filled her and her father in on everything that had happened.

"Cora, calm down." said Henry.

"No, do not tell me to calm down, Henry!" Cora shouted once again, as an annoyed and mentally and emotionally exhausted Regina spoke right after.

"This isn't the time, mother."

"Be honest, Regina. Is Daniel the father to that baby?" Cora asked bluntly.

"Oh, Christ, Cora! That is enough out of you. Can't you see she's had enough to deal with for today?" Henry said in a more authoritative tone of voice, which quieted Cora, as he wrapped an arm around Regina's back, giving her arm a supportive squeeze, letting her know that she could always count on him, "Come, my darling. We'll get you and Mary a room all set up."

And he did. Both her and Mary Margaret took refuge in what used to be Regina's old bedroom before marrying Emma. For a small while Regina felt a little better, but the pain she was feeling, the pain she had caused Emma was still there. She could not get the way Emma looked at her, almost with hatred out of her mind. It burned a hole in her heart and her mind. She couldn't forget her hurtful words. Every tear that ran down her eyes.

But most of all, right now she hated that her father had to see her this way and know what had happened. She didn't want this affecting his health in any way. But, where would she go, really? She needed to think of this baby now as well. Think of how she would care for it alone. Without Emma.

As August entered the house, he too noticed the silence that was now filling the rooms. His head turned towards the doors to the study, which was now empty.

"Emma?" he called out, with no luck of the blonde showing up anywhere. As angry as he was at her, he knew Emma was hurting too, and he worried. He quickly headed up the stairs, taking two steps at a time to get there faster as he raced his way past the bedrooms, peeking into what was once Emma and Regina's bedroom, "Emma?" he called out in a whisper, as he stepped inside only to see her passed out on the bed as her hand held onto Regina's nightgown. Her knuckles now with a shade of purple as bruising started to form around the dry blooded cuts.

August pulled the covers back carefully, covering what he could of Emma's body as a knock was heard from downstairs.

He closed the door softly so she wouldn't be woken. August's hand stretched towards the door knob, as he hurried towards it, quickly pulling the door open as he sighed in relief, "Thank God, you're here." he said as he stepped aside, allowing for Father Gabriel to come inside. He had called him right after dropping Regina and Mary Margaret off to their destination.

"I came as soon as you called me. Where is she?" he asked with a great concern in his voice.

"She's upstairs sleeping." he nodded his head towards the stairs.

"Best we let her sleep. What about Regina?"

"I dropped her and Mary Margaret at her folks house." August replied, "She's not doing so good, father. She won't listen to reason. She thinks the worst of Regina. Mary Margaret said to call you and Graham, only I don't have his number."

"I do. I'll call him, you stay here with her - make sure she doesn't do anything crazy like go looking for Daniel. I'm going to pay Regina a visit." said the older man as he began to walk out of the door. "I'll come back later."

Emma awoke in what felt like a five minute sleep, even if she had slept for two hours straight, her eyes were still heavy and exhausted. Her soul and heart still crushed. She moved slowly as her head raised up, realizing what she had been lying on the entire time. She missed Regina, and she wanted to feel her close - even if she was no longer physically here. She hid the nightgown underneath her pillow, trying to conserve what was left the woman's scent.

She made her way out of bed slowly, as she made her way downstairs, not at all ready to face her life without Regina in it. But, she had to keep moving.

August stood from the the couch as he saw Emma coming down the stairs, the blonde's eyes quickly finding him. It was then August saw the real pain she was going through. Not only her eyes, but her features, her body showed it. And if that wasn't enough indication of it, her busted knuckles were more than enough evidence.

"Where did she go?" asked Emma in a sad, yet cold tone. Even if she had told Regina she no longer cared where she went off to - she did. She cared, she still loved her, despite all the pain.

"I took her and Mary to her parents house." replied August.

"Do you have my keys?" asked Emma, without another word towards Regina.

August searched through his jacket pocket as he pulled out the keys to the blonde's yellow bug, tossing them over to her as she caught them in mid air and simply began making her way out of the front door.

"Where are you going, Em?" asked a concerned August.

"I need to clear my head. I want to be alone." replied Emma as the door slammed shut behind her as she made her way inside her beetle and drove off, leaving nothing but a trail of dirt behind as the tires scraped against the ground.

August wanted to go after her, but he knew Emma well enough to let things be when she wanted some time alone. He sat back on the couch as he ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

Emma drove hours and hours of a long stretched road, she wasn't sure where she was going at first, her mind circling around memories surrounding Regina and her together. Her radio was off, for she wasn't in any mood to listen to music. Her hair was flapping as the windows were rolled down, and the wind was hitting her face. Driving had always helped cleared her head, so she thought back to the one person who always tried to warn her that this exact thing would end up happening.

She turned back after a while as she made her way towards a hotel room. As she made her way towards the door she was looking for, she knocked.

A surprised Lily greeted her with a smile, "Emma, what are you doing here?"

"I came to get you. Pack your things, you're coming back home with me." Emma replied bluntly. Okay, it was a dumb move, but right now she's the only person Emma felt she could trust. And Robert had been right. She was pretty vulnerable right now to even think straight.

Lily on the other hand couldn't be happier, as much as she hated seeing Emma this devastated, she was happy that Robert had been right, and she came looking for her just as he said she would.

"What about Regina? You kicked me out because of her, remember?" replied Lily.

"Regina doesn't live with me anymore.. That's why I came to get you. You were right."

"What happened, Emma?" asked Lily, even if she already imagined it, due to what Gold had taken to her, she wanted to hear it from her.

"I don't want to talk about it right now. Are you coming or not?" asked Emma, her patience growing thin.

"Of course. I'll go wherever you tell me to. I'll just get my things-"

"Forget about your things, I'll buy you new things. Whatever you need." said Emma, cutting Lily's words short.

"Whatever you say." had Emma not been standing there as Lily shut the door to her room, she would have jumped out of it in pure joy and happiness.

Regina was gone and here was a very vulnerable Emma asking for her company. Who was she to say no? Emma was her friend, the love of her life and she wanted to be there, and no matter what she would make Emma forget all about Regina Mills.

A/N 2: Reviews much appreciated! I would love to hear your thoughts on this chapter. Also, if anyone was wondering, my soundtrack to this chapter was "Dear Agony" and "Without You" by Breaking Benjamin.
