It was the most romantic day of the year, couples were out having cute picnics, they were out having a fancy dinner...And most importantly they were with the one person they loved most in all the World...Except for Regina Mills.
"I'm sorry I can't make it this year Regina...The base are sending out troops to scout the border." Emma sighed.
"It's alright. All I want for Valentine's Day is you safe...Just promise you will come back to me."
"I will. I promise. You are the one thing I'm fighting to survive for. Just another three years and I can leave."
"But the army is your life." Regina gasped as she crossed her legs.
"Not anymore. You are my life."
Regina smiled and bit her lip before frowning as she heard crackling on the other side.
"SWAN!" Someone yelled before gunfire could be heard.
"Emma?!" Regina said quickly standing up. "Emma don't you dare leave me. You promised you'd come back to me." Regina said trying to fight back tears.
"الحصول على الأرض"
"Emma?"
"Okay, okay." She heard Emma say. "Just let me just say goodbye to my wife."
Wife?
"Regina Mills. I love you so fucking much. You are the most amazing woman. I love you. I love you. I love you. Goodbye."
Then the line went dead just as a gun went off.
"EMMA!!!" Regina cried as she fell to her knees...She had just lost the love of her life...On Valentines Day.
Three Days Later
Regina was sat on the sofa, wine glass in hand staring into space. Every now and then she glance at her phone hoping to see a message from Emma, saying she was okay and she'd be home soon but it never came.
A knock on the door made her jump, she set her wine glass down and slowly stood up. Sighing she opened the door and she was greeted by two men dressed up a suit...She recognised the suits as the ones soliders wear when they come to tell someone their loved one has died.
"No." Regina whispered.
"Hello, Miss Mills. My name is Neal Cassidy and this is Killian Jones. We're from the U.S Military and we have some news."
"A few days ago our base was compromised by the enemy. We lost many soldiers that night. We came to inform you that-
"Emma Swan is ready to mother fucking party."
Regina's jaw dropped as Emma pushed her way through the two men and stood in front of her. The thing that caught her eye though, was the small scar that ran along her cheek.
"Em..Emma."
"Sorry I'm late. Something came up."
By now the two men had left, leaving just herself and Emma.
"I got you something to make up for it." And with that Emma got down on one knee and pulled out the most beautiful ring Regina had ever seen. "Regina Mills, I'm sorry that I made you scared and worry I know I did. I'm sorry I missed Valentine's Day and all the other days before that...I won't let it happen again. I refuse to spend another minute without you. I've discharged myself from the army because in that moment when I had a gun to my head all I thought about was you and I couldn't let you go through that pain again. Regina will you marry me?"
"Of course." Regina smiled.
Suddenly everything went black and Regina sat up quickly in bed.
"Babe?"
Regina turned her head to see the blonde slowly waking up.
It was all a dream...Or more like visiting a memory. Three years ago that happend.
"Did you dream about it again?" Emma asked sitting up.
Regina nodded her head and her wife wrapped her arms around her, pulling her back down and holding her close.
"Nothing like that will happen again. We're married. We're expecting a baby. Everything is perfect. I haven't left you since and I'm never leaving. I love you Regina Swan-Mills."
"I love you too Emma Swan-Mills."
Emma placed a kiss on Regina's forhead and squeezed her gently. "Today is Valentines Day...Let's just spend it in bed cuddling."
"I'd like that." Regina smiled. "I'd really like that."
