Emma's POV







I headed back into Granny's as Regina hurried out of the back hall. Her face was angry, and her eyes were red. She had obviously been crying, but she was trying not to show it. Regina had a small cardboard box in her hands, full of books and clothes. She walked through the diner and out the door, heading to her car. I stopped her and hugged her. She broke down crying.

"Regina, Regina shh it's okay. You're okay, you'll be okay Regina,"I whispered while she sobbed into my shoulder.

"She was there when I went to talk to him,"she sniffled.

"I know, wanna talk about this?" I asked her. She nodded and we walked together to her car. I drove us out to the lake, and we sat down on a bench, the same one hook and I had sat on when we saw the time tunnel and ended up in The Enchanted Forest.

"So you went to get your stuff, what happened? And why did you go get your stuff?"

"Ever since Marion showed up, thanks to you, but I've forgiven you for that, Robin has been avoiding my calls and texts, and won't let Roland anywhere near me. When he found out that I killed Marion, he couldn't even look at me. Now he's been taking her around for dates and looking for apartments, as well as her enrolling Roland in kindergarten. I went to talk to him and expected that she would be out, but instead when I knocked they had been in bed together, and she left awkwardly after putting her clothes back on and leaving with Roland. I tried talking to Robin, and he said that he was going to be loyal to his wife for Roland, and that we would talk later when he was sure that his family was out of harms way. I'm back to being a Villian in his eyes, and even Roland wouldn't talk to me. He handed me a box with my stuff and told me to leave. My soulmate, my second chance, left me for his long dead wife." Regina stares crying again, but I needed to know one more thing. We got up off the bench, and headed towards the parking lot.

"Do you want Killian to talk to him? Now for you, but just to find out what's happening in his life and mind?" I asked. Killian might be able to help him understand how everyone was feeling. I was personally ticked at Robin. I mean yeah, your wife is back, but you haven't seen her in forever and you have another woman in your life, and it sounds like Robin was being kind of an arse to Regina, considering how much he had done for her and then dumped her. I opened the side door, hopped in, and began driving done to the residences.

"Sure, I don't really know. I don't want to be the cursed Mary Margaret and David all over again. I really don't know what to do. I think I'm going to go home and watch some The Notebook, before taking a bath. An early night might do me well. You and Killian are watching Henry this week, right?" She asked.

"Yeah, we are taking him for lunch on Thursday at Granny's if you want to meet us there? Oh and he has his last session with Archie on Tuesday, so if you want to pick him up for ice cream or something after, just text me alright? Don't get too down about this, things have a way of working out." I said. We pulled up at her house, where Henry was waiting with a bag and his book. He waved when we showed up, and we got out to toss his stuff in the back of Regina's car. I could grab the buggy when killian stopped by to talk with Robin. Regina dropped us off at my loft, and we hugged her goodbye.

"It'll be alright," I promised her, before letting go.

She smiled, "yeah I know."

We opened the door and waved goodbye, as she drove back towards her office. I wondered what Killian was doing, and decided to call him after I set Henry up with some hot chocolate and cinnamon. It was one of my favourite things about the cold weather. I unlocked my phone and opened Killy's contact. His profile was a picture I had taken of him and his hook making a heart. It was one of my favourite pictures, of the few I had with him. I dialled his number, and he picked up on the first ring.

"Swan. thank God you called. I stopped by Golds shop after David told me about an incident that happened in the woods. You obviously remember when we were back in Rumplestiltskins vault? Well apparently we have set the queen of ice loose in Storybrooke."

His voice sounded panicked, and I could tell that he was worried.

"Holy Crap, Where are you now?" I asked. Nice going Emma, you've just set something loose that could potentially destroy storybrooke. Again.

"I'm about a block away from our apartment. Do you want Henry to know, or should we talk privately?" He asked. We had a rule that Henry was involved in all "special operations," but this could be a big threat. I looked over at him on the couch, and decided that at 13, he could handle something like this. The whole issue with the curse had only been resolved because of him, so it was only fair. Plus, he was really good at helping with all of these magic issues.

"We'll let him stay. He deserves to know. We have one hell of a lot to talk about."

"Alright my love, see you In a few," he said, before clicking off the phone. How the heck were we supposed to handle something none of us knew about? Henry turned around.

"Mom, what's going on?"
