She's Back

Daughter

Regina

Two Weeks Later

"Henry, I brought you some dinner, if you want." I tried, knocking on his door, he was sitting on the edge of his bed with a blank stare on his face, a plate full of sandwich sitting on the dresser where I had left it earlier that afternoon.

"Alright, I'll just leave it here, hey how is the name hunt going?" I asked setting the plate on his dresser before taking a seat next to him, he blinked and glanced at me tearfully.

"It hasn't been going, I'm just too worried about Violet to think about anything at this point, every time I see her it reminds me that I wasn't there to protect her, that I wasn't able to help her at all and that she might not ever wake up and I can't do anything about that! I can't help her right now and I hate that feeling!" He cried, I sighed and wrapped my arms around him, placing a kiss on his head before resting my cheek on it.

"Henry, I know what you're feeling-."

"Oh really?" He spat in a bitter tone, I raised my eyebrow and pulled away to look at him. "Yes, Henry I accidentally poisoned you to death, I was feeling the exact same thing but ten times worse, because like you I couldn't do anything, but unlike you I was guilty for what I had done, you are innocent, you had nothing to do with what happened to your girlfriend, I almost lost you forever and that was on me, so I know how helpless you are feeling, how distraught your insides feel because your girlfriend is sick, but she will get better, I promise." I said pulling him close, he exhaled shakily and squeezed my hands.

"Mom, how did you handle losing Robin? I know that I'm young and I shouldn't be, but I'm in love with Violet, and if she dies, I don't know if I will ever be the same, I can't live without her." He whispered, the pain of losing the love of my life returning, nearly suffocating me.

"I didn't, I stayed up at night and sat in my bed, sobbing, trying to think of reasons to stay alive, replaying your name and face in my head to convince myself to keep my heart in my chest. How whenever I would close my eyes I would see Robin collapsing in front of me, his final glance at me before dropping in front of me. But Henry you can't think like that, what I would have given for Robin to have the opportunity to get medical help like Violet, I know I may sound like your grandmother, but you need to have hope." I whispered, placing a hand on my stomach where my daughter was actively kicking me.

"I don't want to lose her." He whimpered, his voice sounding deflated, I hugged him close and sighed, not having any words for him.

"I know honey, I know."

"Hey Regina." I heard Emma whisper, coming inside with Robyn in her car seat, setting her down as she helped herself to a donut from the box that was sitting on the counter that Zelena had brought me in the morning.

"Hello Ms. Swan." I spat, glaring at her while she finished the chocolate donut that I had been saving for midnight craving where I could indulge in private.

"How's she doing today?" I asked snatching the box away from her, making it disappear from her. "She woke up today." Emma said in disbelief, my jaw dropped and I spun around and I rushed over to her.

"What?!" I exclaimed, she nodded and wiped the frosting off of her face and picked up Robyn awkwardly to try and lessen her crying.

"Yeah, they aren't letting any visitors in except the Queen and Zelena for now, so I offered to take Robyn home to sleep." She said sitting down on the sofa in my living room, attempting to put her to sleep, placing a pacifier in her mouth.
