Neither one knew who went in first but before they knew it their lips were pressed against each other in a slow light kiss. Both women could feel the buzz of magic when they kiss but neither knowing what that meant. When air became a problem they pulled apart and looked at one another and just smiled or chuckled nervously not knowing what to say.

Then it all hit Regina, she kissed Emma. The Savior. Henry's birth mother. The woman she spent a year trying to get rid of. She slowly backed away from Emma and millions of thoughts raced through her head the main one being 'Every one I've ever loved has died'. She panicked, she didn't know what to do, so she did what she did best and ran. She ran upstairs and hid in her bathroom with the door locked. She was sitting next to her shower with her hands wrapped around her knees.

Regina was never one to back away from a challenge but when it comes to love, she wasn't the strong one anymore. She always went back to being that innocent 16 year old girl who never stood up for herself. She was panicking she did not know what to tell Emma, she didn't even know what to tell herself! Does she have feelings for her or is this herself being needy and needing someone in her life? Can she finally move on and be happy or will she lose it all again?

While Regina was panicking upstairs Emma was having a breakdown downstairs, she didn't know if it was something she had said or if it was just Regina acting up or if she misinterpreted the chemistry between them and she just made a huge mess of things unintentionally. She didn't know whether to go see Regina or give her time to process what had just transpired between the two of them.

After waiting 30 minutes and drinking a fresh hot cocoa with cinnamon Emma decided it was finally time to face the truth and go see Regina. She carefully made her way up the long spiralling staircase and slowly crept down the hallway she's become quite familiar with over the past couple days. When she made it to the master bedroom door she felt her heart drop to the pit of her stomach but continued over the threshold anyway. She noticed no one was in the room so she assumed Regina was hiding out in her bathroom so she knocked on the door and waited for a response from the brunette.

Regina was still freaking out and trying to calm herself down but the blonde showing up didn't help her nerves. Nerves, that is sort of a good sign right? Maybe they will help me realize what feelings I have if any. Regina thought to herself and decided she needed to come to a conclusion whether this was what she wanted or not. She couldn't lose Emma and she would gladly sacrifice her happiness for Emma's life. Within a couple of minutes of awkward silence Regina finally gained enough courage to go unlock the door and let Emma in. They both sat right back down where Regina was sitting before but now they knew they needed to talk about what had happened.

"Look, I know it's soon and I'm not expecting anything. If you want me to leave and never talk to you again I will do that." Emma spoke first, barely above a whisper but just loud enough for Regina to hear and immediately panic because that's not what she wanted at all!

"No! Emma look I do know it's soon and I don't know if this is exactly what I want at the moment but it's something, I won't ignore that." Regina said allowed and then whispered "I can't lose you like I've lost everyone else."
