Hello From the Outside

Chapter 7

Regina sighed in relief as she heard the front door close, notifying her that Henry had left. She chuckled weakly, looking at her apple tree through the window . "How about that Miss Swan, now my own son thinks I'm crazy." She shook her head and turned to the chair that Emma was in. Seeing it was empty she frowned. "Emma?"

Her watery brown eyes scanned the room, looking for the blonde savior. "Emma? Where did you go?" She made her way out of the study and searched the house. She came to a sudden halt when she saw the blonde plundering in her refrigerator.

"What the hell are you doing?"

The brunettes voice startled Emma causing the blonde to hit her head on one of the shelves.

"Seriously Regina?" She sighed "good thing I couldn't feel that"

The brunette tilted her head to the side in confusion. "What?"

"Pain, I can't feel it, I can't feel a lot if things... Like I know the fridge is cold on the inside but I cant feel the temperature. It's really frustrating"

Regina nodded "So what are you doing in my refrigerator"

Emma sighed and closed the door. "Honestly I don't know... I think I was trying to do something that made me feel normal. I'm not even hungry."

Regina nodded once again " I guess that makes sense"

The was a pause of silence before Emma's voice broke through. "So where did the kid go?"

"His grandparents"

Emma nodded and grimaced as she started to feel pain in her abdomen.

"Emma what's wrong?"

Large fearful eyes caught brown ones. " I don't know"

Another intense pain hit the blonde causing her to double over and groan. "G-Gina if I.."

"No! Shut up" Regina yelled at the other woman.

"Listen to me" Emma's body was fading and coming back, almost like a hologram that had a short in it.

Regina's eyes started to water and she shook her head, if she listened, Emma would be gone and she would have no one. "I..I can't"

Emma took a deep breath through the pain. "Regina, it's gonna be ok.. You'll find a way to get through this, I know you. The real you.The person that hides behind the mask"

Regina fell to her knees in a very informal manner, she crawled to where the blonde had slid down the island and was balled up in pain on the floor.

"You- You can't leave me, not after everything"

Sad and fearful sea green eyes met brown ones that were filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry" and just like that Emma was gone. No trace of blonde hair, no hint of a bright smile. Nothing.

Regina let out a sob and curled up where Emma was sitting, wishing she could feel warmth there, but was met with nothing but the cold hardwood floor. "Why'd y-you lea-ve me" She didn't even bother wiping her eyes, the tears were just coming way too fast. She laid her head down on the floor, her cheek landing in the pool of tears that had gathered. "Why do-es every-one leave me?'

She clenched her eyes shut as she heard a knock on the front door. She refused to answer it, no one was going to see her like this, not even Henry. The knocks continued and she finally stood up, this person was not going to go away. She wiped her cheeks and checked herself in the mirror by the door. Her mascara was runny and her eyes were bloodshot. She would use magic to fix it but her emotions were too haywire. She'd probably end up accidentally magicking of a eyebrow or something.

She sighed as she answered the door. Her heart fell to her stomach as her eyes caught the sight of the person on her porch.

"Rumple." Her voice was hoarse from crying

"Your majesty'
