What are you doing? "What are you doing?" Asked an all too familiar voice. Rolling her eyes in irritation Regina turned to set her eyes on Neal. In this world he was Baelfire however, Regina had continued to call him Neal. "What I am doing is none of your concern. I'm in no mood for company. So go away." She said coldly. Turning her attention back to the vial in her hand she waved her other hand across it, the purple liquid inside beginning to shimmer and glow.
"You don't think I don't know what that is?" Neal asked as he moved closer. "Don't think I've seen enough of this magic crap to know a sleeping curse when I see one? What are you doing?" He asked in a more forceful tone though stopped when his feet suddenly stuck to the floor. "What the f***-" glancing down for a moment he then looked to Regina. "Really!?"
"I can't live without Henry." Regina said quietly. "Every day I wake up... I lay in bed thinking I'll hear him. I can't live without my son." Regina said looking to Neal. Silent tears streamed down her face. "But I can't kill myself. Henry would never forgive such a thing. So.. this is something I can do. Go to sleep. If Henry ever wakes up and ever manages to find me.. he can wake me up." Regina said giving a very sad smile still through her tears.
"Henry is without a doubt the truest love I've ever had. And if he isn't here.. I don't want to wake up. There's nothing more I want from this life or any other." She said before looking back to the potion in her hands. Popping the cork she then pulled a long pin from her hair, dipped it into the potion, and then was about to prick her finger.
"So you're just going to abandon him?" Neal asked. His words earned him a glare from Regina. "What if he wakes up but he can't find you? What if he could have found you if you were looking for him too? You're his mother Regina! He needs you."
Regina only scoffed "I was his mother. He has Emma now-" before she could finish Neal cut her off. "That isn't the same! Look.." he tried to move forward though groaned as he couldn't. "I love Emma. I always will. But her and you aren't the same. Yes, she gave birth to Henry. She gave him his best chance in her opinion. But you Regina.. you raised him. Even after knowing there was a chance he could bring the person that could end your curse, the thing you worked so hard for."
Regina looked down, staring at the pin in her hands. "You are what Henry needs Regina. It isn't about blood. Look at us. Both our mothers were blood... what good did it do us?" Reluctantly Regina set the hairpin down and waved her hand releasing Neal.
Slowly he moved closer, gently throwing away the potion and pin before kneeling down in front of Regina. Carefully he reached up, wiping away her tears. "I get it. I miss him too. Not.. like you. I know you've got more to miss with him. But I promise you Regina I'm gonna find a way back to our son. And I'm gonna take you with me.. and we're all gonna make a bunch of new memories together."
