The Underworld

Memories

Snow White

"What do you mean it's all true! I'm not married and I do not have a daughter! I don't even have anyone to love me!" She said in disbelief, pain filled tears welling in her eyes, making me look on in pity.

"Regina, honey listen to me, look, this is you at your wedding, and when Penelope was born." I said showing her pictures, only making the fear in her eyes grow.

"No, I don't remember any of that! You're lying! You're getting back at me for being angry at Emma!" She accused, crossing her arms, I sighed and sat down next to her, taking her hand into mine gently.

"I'd never be this cruel." I said softly, tears forming in my own eyes, she bit her lip and held my hand tighter, looking up at me nervously.

"Well I don't remember this." She said helplessly, the hope and optimism left from her shaking voice.

"I know, and we are going to help fix that." I said gently, she nodded and waved her hand over her hips, healing her wounds.

"Alright, well I don't want to be here." She stated, standing up from the bed and staring at me.

"Uh, okay." I said staring at her, she changed into her clothes and walked out of the door defiantly, putting her hard face on, the expression I hadn't seen since Marian had returned, the one that she used to mask the pain.

"Should I take you home?" I asked, quite confused about the whole ordeal, keeping my eyes on the road, however secretly watching her decide.

"No, let Robin stay there but I can't see him right now, I don't know what's going on, if we are married that's great, but to me I'm still upset." She muttered, I nodded and stepped on the gas, driving past her white mansion, turning the corner.

"Well how about you stay with us." I said pulling into my house, trying to avoid all of the commotion of the returning dead.

"Oh that's not necessary-." She started, but I immediately shut off the car and got out, making her groan and follow.

"Regina?! How are you?! You shouldn't be up!" David exclaimed, she gave him a confused look and nodded, wandering to the restroom.

"David a word please?" I said pulling him to the kitchen.

"She has amnesia, she only remembers up to Marian coming." I explained quickly, his face dropped and he looked down, disappointed.

"She doesn't remember being married or Penelope." He said sadly, I nodded and we both stared at her while she looked at the wedding pictures that we had printed, making her eyes grow in fear.

"She's gonna stay with us until she remembers." I stated, he nodded and held me close, kissing my forehead as we tried not to stare, but she inevitably caught us, tears filling her eyes.

"Stop looking at me like that! I'm confused and I'm just as upset with myself as you all are so I'm trying, just stop looking at me like I'm broken!" She sobbed, slowly lowering onto the sofa, I exhaled and we both walked over to her, taking a spot on each side of her.

"Regina, you are not broken! You had something happen to you that is very confusing, and I know you won't admit it, but it's very scary! You're figuring it out, don't feel pressured, you take all of the time you need." I said rubbing her back, she sniffled and nodded, but she still looked concerned.

"But if everything you are saying is true, then I'm missing time with my baby, and I don't want to be an awful mom!" She sobbed, I sighed and looked up at my husband, pursing my lips as I glanced back at her.
