The Underworld

Tearful Goodbye

*Author's note: the end of the chapter contains some violence so this is your warning*

Regina

I managed to stand on my wobbling legs and storm after my husband who had stalked out of the loft.

"HEY! DON'T YOU EVER ORDER ME OUT LIKE THAT!" I scolded, meeting my husband who was standing at the foot of the spiral staircase of the loft's building.

"Regina there is nothing to discuss, stop making a scene." Robin whispered sharply, I held my head and tried to comprehend what he was saying. "So you're just leaving?!" He sighed and glared at me in frustration.

"I'm taking care of our son!" He retaliated, his tone sharper. "Then let me come with you! We are married now!" I demanded, he shook his head and held his hands out. "Are you crazy! Did you not see what our baby did to you today?! It clearly has magic and it needs to develop fully, ripping it away would not be wise!" He said frantically, the frustration clear in his tone.

"Robin I can't lose you again! I can't go through that- I can't!" I cried, sounding desperate, but I didn't care, I would not lose him again.

"Well you're going to have to for a little while while I care for your son! Can you at least appreciate what I'm trying to do for you! I'm doing this for my honor, it's important to me and I'm trying to be a good husband!" He yelled, I flinched back at his harshness and hardened my heart at his retaliation.

"I WOULD DO THIS IF I COULD BUT YOU CLEARLY WON'T LET ME! I APPRECIATE IT BUT I CAN'T HAVE YOU MISS ALL OF THIS! YOU ALREADY MISSED SO MUCH WHEN YOU LEFT THE FIRST TIME!" I yelled back, just as harsh, he grew angry and I saw him circle the little landing between the flights of stairs.

"NOW WHAT COULD I MISS THAT IS SO DAMN IMPORTANT THAT IS DRIVING YOU SO CRAZY?!" He spat, the words stinging me as they left his lips. His chest rose and fell as he stared at me, trying to soften his expression when he saw his words hurting my feelings.

"Regina...-"

"You know what, go, and thank you SO much for helping Henry, and maybe next time I'll just have a baby with a dog because that's what you're acting like right now." I said walking past him down the stairs, noticing our family that opened the door when they knew we were done.

Emma

We could all hear Robin and Regina going at it from the living room, her frustrated banter filling the loft creating and uncomfortable silence.

"I gotta stop this." My mother said standing but my father, Zelena, and I quickly got up and dragged her away from the door. Then suddenly the yelling stopped and I cracked the door open a bit to see Regina standing on the step with a tearful glare at Robin, who looked guilty over what he had said. She looked up and saw me peeking into their conversation, glaring at us as she walked out of the building.

"They found Henry, he was out in the woods, but he's okay, he's coming home." My mother reported, sipping her coffee in her pajamas, we had been up all night searching for Henry, and a very distraught Regina and Robin who seemed to disappear after their little fight.

"Why was she so upset?" I asked my mother, the more I thought about it the whole debacle made less and less sense.

"Okay, you can't tell anyone." My mother said, I nodded and she continued.

"She's-."

The door opened and she immediately shut her mouth as Henry stalked upstairs with a sulking expression, followed by my father and Zelena.
