{Killian's POV}
Killian and David followed Emma and Robin into the humid hospital room. More than ever, he wanted to comfort Emma and cry with her. He hadn't known Regina all that well, but she was the person he could relate to the most besides Emma. She was gone now. He had to show that he was strong, so he could be there for Emma when she needed him. She needed him more then ever right now. After a while of sniffling silence, one of the nurses came in to collect.. her.

"We need to move her." The nurse said full of pity.

"Wait," Robin said placing his hand on Regina's colorless arm. "Let me at least say goodbye." The nurse paused as if thinking about it.

"Very well, sir. Take your time." She walked out.

"Regina,"Robin said taking one of her hands in both of his and bringing it up to his face. "I never got the chance to tell you just how much I love you." He paused choking back tears. Emma buried her head in Killian's chest, hugging him tightly and softly weeping. He kissed the top of her head.

"Shhh, shhh, it's okay, Swan... It'll be okay." He said, even though he knew it wouldn't. Robin continued to speak as Killian rocked from his left to his right as if holding a sleeping child.

"The first time I saw you in the enchanted forest, I knew. I knew you would be a big part of my life. I knew you were different. I knew you had a story that I wanted to know. Regina-" he sniffed. "I'm.. Im not ready for this." He wiped away two tears. "If only I could show you how much I truly love you..." He paused and leaned down, kissing her lips for the last time gently. "Goodbye my love." Robin laid her hand perfectly at her side before standing. He turned to walk out the door when they all heard a gasp. He had stopped dead in his tracks.

Emma pried her head off of Killian's now soaking shirt. They both wiped their eyes. "Regina?" Emma sniffed.
