"Maybe it's destiny"

Suspect Identified

Regina was completely lost in her thoughts. Both Snow White and Emma were staring at her waiting for Regina to say at least something, but the brunette was in no place to speak. Her lungs were shrinking. It couldn't be him... not again!

It wasn't until recently that she finally felt like she was able to escape that hell of a past she had. Her demons were returning again... hunting her down and hunting her dreams and thoughts. She wouldn't dare close her eyes again at night. The brutal image of him would show up and that would make the pain she had been repressing for so long arise again.

She swallowed hard and tightened her grip on the couch. She had no idea how to respond... she was probably speechless. Snow White was about to speak when Regina stood up and exited the room. She looked white as a sheet... completely pale. The feeling of fear and terror was painted all over her face.

The dark circles underneath her eyes were even darker this time. That man made her look weak. Regina exited the room and Emma and Snow White looked at each other in shock. Emma couldn't help but tear up. That man was the end of her lover...

The very thought of him made the former sheriff boil in anger and need for revenge. She wanted to protect the former queen but she felt weak and powerless when it came to Robin's nonpareil intelligence and master mind plans. That man had ruined an entire hotel for what? A woman! But why?

Emma couldn't stop thinking about the reason why. Why would he make both Regina and Emma go undercover for a mission in Paris when he could just get revenge back in New York? He clearly wanted something more... there was something bigger behind all the possible reasons why Emma could come up with.

She had to get inside his head and read him. She had to come up with a rational explanation. There was no chance he was working alone... there was clearly another person helping him. Robin was evil, but he wasn't that smart. He might was a thief once, but not a murderer.

Snow placed her hand on her daughter's shaking palms and rubbed Emma's soft skin with her thumb softly.
"Have you told dad?"
She finally said and broke the silence that had been conquering the entire room till now. Thank the god Henry was asleep in the guest room... things were getting messed up and Emma wouldn't be able to handle Henry's curiosity at the moment.

"Tell him what?"
She asked with sadness written all over her face.
"About Regina."
"What do you mean?"
She asked again.

Snow winked and grinned slightly.
"It's obvious Emma."
Emma huffed gloomily and looked away.

"I'm a whore... and a terrible wife."
She admitted and tapped her fingers on the coffee table annoyed with herself. She fell in love with the wrong person... she dishonored her wedding wreath and vows for undying love.

"Oh Emma... your relationship with Killian had an expiration date since the very first day you met him. That man is so not for you. Plus... you have been always been in love with the mayor... I've seen the way you look at her. Maybe you two started hating each other when you first came in storybrooke and changed everything, but that hatred for each turned into a ardent love!"

Emma was speechless. She kept looking at her mother with wide eyes an a surprised look all over her face. She was actually astonished... It's so true when they say that a mother's instinct can never be wrong! Mums always know! They see everything and they have the magical ability to sense everything.

She bit her lips ashamed and then covered her face with both her palms.
"I'm about to ruin my family. Henry is gonna hate me forever... I have no idea how I'm gonna look at Killian and tell him! I'm a terrible person... he's gonna be so heartbroken."

She teared up and a couple of crystal clear tears escaped and run down her cheeks. Snow smiled warmly and pulled her daughter closer for a hug. She couldn't be prouder for Emma... such a self conscious and powerful young woman!
