"At the end of the day, it's up to you. Do you want to return to Storybrooke..?"

Henry, unless I can make another potion, I don't know what to do. Your mother hasn't stopped blowing up my phone either, she wants me to bring you both back.."

A deep sigh comes tumbling out as she raises a hand, fingers running through her hair as she tries to think of something. >

Little when he seen her as a complete stranger, but it wouldn't be forever. Right?

Giving a nod of her head, she let's her gaze fall for a moment before it returns to Emma again.

"We will talk- we need to. It's definitely been long overdue.." That was an understatement for sure.

"As for >

The brunette visibly relaxes when Emma confirms that she's not mad and honestly that took a lot of pressure of her too, one less thing to worry about.

Now was Henry, what would they do? What would they tell him? She was desperate to see her son again, but it would break her heart a >

"Of course not." Scoffs slightly.

"He needs to spend time with his mother though."

Of course he does, but he's staying with her for a few days.

Oh no, she's still here. Who do you think my son is with.

Well, she didn't. I haven't seen or heard anything from her.

She stiffens up slightly at the mention of the other two.

"Yes well, we've seen what my 'love' done to Henry and Emma? Do you see her anywhere?"

We both know it is, Ruby. Cora made damn sure of it.

Don't you know me at all dear? I'm not capable of love.

Cue another laugh at that.

"Do I really?"

And why should I do that, dear?

Ah but she wouldn't actually do it.

"Nice try, but do you really think she'll listen to me for that?"

Let's out a soft laugh.

"Of course dear, you know me. Always happy to help"

Cue a slight smirk now.

Raises a brow.

"Yes, Miss Lucas?"

That makes sense?"

A small sigh escapes as she automatically goes to reach out for Emma's hand, but hesitates half way through.

"Truthfully I wanted a bit more time with you before I give you the potion, but of course your mother, and others, put a stop to that.."

Moment, hesitating with her next words. This was all new for Regina, talking about how she felt and leaving herself vulnerable, but she had to do this, right?

"I just.. I missed you, Emma. You and Henry terribly. Honestly? It felt good, to just talk to you, to get to know you properly, if >

You, but Henry will get his memories back, I won't stop until I find a way."

And she wouldn't ever give up on their son, wouldn't stop until she found something.

"I know you're probably mad that I didn't just give you the potion right away and- I'm sorry for that but-" She pauses for a >

About everything that has happened over the past few years, not just about them, but about this new curse that happened.

At the mention of Henry, a sad smile took over her features as she let her gaze drop for a moment, giving a slight shake of her head.

"I- no.. I only had enough for >

Regina could only imagine what the other woman was going through right now and for the first time in her life, she couldn't find any words now.

Emma didn't seem too angry right now so that had to be a good sign, right? Maybe they would be able to fix everything and have a proper conversation >

It was as if she was afraid to move.

"I- I'm sorry.."

And that's all she managed to get out..

Would most definitely lose her.

She tried to stay calm, she really did, but when Emma's eyes landed on her, she knew the blonde remembered everything and her breath caught in her throat when her name was spoken.

She wanted to reach across and take Emma's hand in her own, but right now >

Regina at all, she would never care this much about someone who wasn't her son, but she did care about Emma, more that she wanted to admit.

She didn't want to lose the blonde, but now that she had her memories back and they were going to return to Storybrooke, she was afraid that she >

As soon as Emma's glass was set back down on the table, the brunette knew what was coming and she could see the different emotions playing out on the other woman's face.

The nerves were getting worse now and she truly thought she was going to be sick now. Usually this wouldn't bother >

Genuine smile now as she raises the glass to her lips, taking a large gulp to help prepare her for what was to come..
