Without you.

Friendships

Regina's POV:

I probably got a half hour of sleep. Even Robin didn't sleep. How could we? How do you get over something like that? I never will. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. I heard Robin turn over and I could feel his eyes on me. I switched my attention to him. I felt tears start in my eyes and I knew I could keep it together. I just started crying. I hugged him. He was the only person who knew what I was truly going through. I didn't even know how I was going to tell Emma. Emma and I talked about how our little girls would be just like us. Best Friends.
I began calming down. I decided to get out of bed and go in the shower. Robin was taking the day off work I presume considering he would already be there by now. "Do you want something to eat?" He softly. "No, maybe later." I said quietly and walked to to bathroom.

Emma's POV:

My phone rang. It was Robin. I thought it was kind of odd but I answered anyways. "Hello?" I said. "Hi Emma. It's Robin." He said sadly. "What's up? You sound a bit upset." I asked. "Listen. Something happened last night with Regina." He said. I began to get so worried. "What happened? Is she ok?" I questioned. My heart was beating so fast. Regina was my best friend, if anything happened to her I don't know what I would do. "She's fine. It's just..." His voice trailed off. "She lost the baby." He could barely get the words out. "Oh my gosh. I'm coming over. Be there in five." I said and hung up the phone. I began tearing up myself. I knew how much this meant to her. She must be crushed. I threw on some jeans and a t shirt and left the house.

Regina's POV:

I saw Robin hang up his phone. "Who did you call?" I asked. "Well." He scratched the back of his neck. "Did you call Emma?!" I snapped. "Yes, but-" he tried to say. I cut him off, "why would you tell her? You think just because I'm hurt I can't do things on my own?!" I yelled. I had never yelled at him before. I felt so bad. He looked at me sadly. I could tell I hurt him. He turned around and walked out of the bedroom. "Wait! Robin, I'm so sorry." I said with tears in my eyes. I caught up to him and grabbed his hand. He turned and looked at me. "I'm sorry." I repeated. He hugged me. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I began to cry. "It's not your fault." He said running his fingers through my hair. He comforted me until my cries were interrupted by a knock at the door. I took a deep breath, wiped my eyes and opened the door. It was Emma. She hugged me right away. "Do you wanna talk?" She asked. I thought about my response but then finally said "Yes." I hadn't even talked to Robin yet but I think it would be good to express my feelings to Emma first. "We are just going to talk up stairs." I told Robin. He nodded his head and turned on the tv.

We sat down on the bed. "So what happened?" Emma asked. I took a deep breath. "Last night I woke up in the middle of the night. I was feeling sharp pains in my stomach so I told Robin I needed to go to the hospital." I could feel myself start to tear up but I tried to hold it together. "We waited for results but I already kind of knew what happened." My voice trailed off on the last few words. Emma rubbed my arm. "It's not your fault you know." She said. I felt like it was my fault. "Yes it is!" I insisted. I put a pillow over my face. "Regina." She said pulling the pillow away, "It's ok." That was just it. She didn't understand, Emma didn't know how I felt. This wasn't ok to me, it was the worst thing imaginable. "You know what Emma!" I stood up. "You don't know what this feels like. You have never lost someone." I yelled. "Both my parents are dead. Gone. And now my baby is gone. You don't know what that feels like Emma, you don't!" I didn't know why I was yelling at everyone I cared about. I saw Emma's face. She was clearly hurt. She got up and ran away from me. "Emma!" I said. But she was faster than me. I heard the front door slam. I just lost my best friend. I needed her right now. I didn't mean what I said.

"What happened?" Robin said. I just shook my head. "Regina." He walked over to me. "Do you want to talk?" He asked. Robin was so sweet but I was afraid if I talked to him it would just end like it did with Emma. I shook my head no. He lifted my head up and my eyes met his. For a moment it felt like all the pain just went away. "Please talk to me." He said. I took a deep breath. "Ok." I finally said. He took my hand and walked me over to the couch. "So why did you not want to talk to me in the first place." He said. His question was kind of rude. He knew why I don't want to talk. I didn't want a fight so I just ignored it. "I didn't want the same thing that happened with Emma and I to happen with us. I mean sure I got mad but then she just left and-" I rambled. Robin cut me off, he could obviously see how overwhelmed I was getting.

"Regina. I would never leave you. I love you so much, I never want to be without you." I smiled at his loving words. "No matter what happens, or what you do I will always be here." He said. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked it towards me. My lips crashed into his. We continued kissing passionately. He ran his hands along my back. I released from our kissed and stared into his evergreen eyes. "I love you too. More than anything." I said as I threw my arms around him bringing him in for a hug. Even when things seem terrible, there is always that one person who cares enough to help you through the problems you are facing. I always thought that Emma was that one person. Maybe she wasn't. I mean Robin seemed to care more about everything than Emma right now. Maybe she wasn't such a good friend after all.
