I can't move. I'm just standing on Reginas door step. With my head hanging down. I lose the grip on my bag and it drops to the ground. I slowly sink to my knees and just start crying. Why does my life always have to be so complicated?  After a while I hear the front door of Reginas house open. I hear the click of her high heels on the cement of the entrance way. She stands next to me and says, "Why are you still here Miss Swan?"    All I can do is shrug my shoulders. "If you need some assistance I can always call the Sheriff to help you".  "You really want me to leave that badly?"   "I'd rather you not leave at all, but you are the one that packed a bag. You are the one who walked away from me and this baby".  I nod and slowly stand up. I turn and face her. When I look at her I feel how much I love her. "Regina I don't know what to do. I'm sorry. I love you. I really do, but I don't know what to do here".   "Would you like to come inside and talk?"  I nod and she walks inside. I pick up my bag and follow her, but I leave it by the door. We go into the kitchen and she asks me if I'd like some coffee. "Is beer not an option?"  I ask jokingly. She didn't find it amusing. "Yes coffee is great thanks".  She nods and gives me a cup. I speak first. "I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. I'm just scared Regina. I love you so much, but something in the back of my mind keeps saying 'I'll never end up happy' When I saw him holding your hand I just felt I was loosing everything". She walks over to me and kisses my temple and says "Emma, my love, you have nothing to worry about. I want you. And only you. This is your baby. I broke up with Robin way more than four months ago and haven't been with him since. I only went to lunch with him to let him down gently. After you left the diner I told him that I'd prefer not to see him again. I asked him not to call me and I have already blocked his number on my cell phone and I'll be telling my secretary not to put his calls through".  I nod and ask "So where do we go from here?"  "I guess that's up to you Emma. I noticed you left your bag by the door, are you still planning on leaving?"  "I don't want to Gina. I just want to forget this ever happened, but it's in my head and I hate it. I believe everything you just told me. I guess I just feel like an asshole for jumping to conclusions. I really, really did not like walking in and seeing my girlfriend holding someone's hand". "Your right Emma and I'm sorry you had to see that. Thank you for believing me".  She puts her hand on my face and rubs her thumb over my cheek. She leans in and gently kisses me. When she pulls back she gives me a soft smile and says. "I love you Emma and this jealousy side of you is cute, but you have nothing to worry about. Ok my love?"   I nod and kiss her then ask. "So we are ok, right?"   "Yes my love we are. I think as long as we can talk things out like we just did, we will always be ok Emma". I smile and hold her tight in my arms. I say a silent prayer that we never have to go through anything like this again.
