This is it guys the last chapter. Hope you guys liked this story. Let me know with a review or pm or something.


Emma laid awake in bed thinking of the brunette and what they had, what they lost. She thought if their day together, and then dinner, when Regina made her favorite meal and desert. She thought how much of a natural Regina was with her daughter as if she's had the child her entire life. She thought of how fast Sofia latched unto Regina as if the brunette was her other mother. She thought of Henry's fond look and his smile when their eyes connected. And then there was her almost kiss with the love of her life. She was in pain thinking that she was so so close to kiss the brunette only to be interrupted. Her heart ached to have more of what they had at dinner and at the park. It was so easy to be around Regina. She reached for the necklace holding her wedding band and pulled the said ring to her mouth to kiss it imagining she was kissing Regina. She never took the necklace off, she never wanted to part with the last piece of Regina she had.

In the morning she dropped Sofia at day care and went to work. Around lunchtime she decided to do her rounds and headed towards her patrol car. She put her sunglasses on only to realize it was too dark with them. She took them off. It was sunny, not a cloud in the sky, yet there was barely any light. Regina's question came back to her and she stopped with the door open to the patrol car, unable to get in the car.

"Everything all right, Sheriff?"

It was the mayor. She always made Emma's skin crawl.

"Yes, I was just..." she caught herself saying remembered, somehow that would be the wrong thing to say "I was just thinking about whether I want a donut or a bear claw for lunch. Can't make up my mind."

"Well, carry on then, Sheriff, don't let me distract you," she says as she makes her way past Emma, trailing her fingers along Emma's shoulders. Emma shivers and not in a good way, not in that way that Regina makes her shiver by only looking at her, but in a creepy get your hands off me way. She gets in the car and makes a run for Regina's office only to find out she went out for lunch.

She makes her way to Granny's and spots Regina sit at the corner table. She always sits in that spot, newspaper in hand. Emma pauses in the doorway and looks at Regina and she gets lost in thoughts about how beautiful the brunette is. She makes her way to the brunette's table and sits down across from her. Regina looks on startled at first but then she gives Emma a soft smile.

"Tell me I'm not crazy."

"You're not crazy, although you act like it?"

"Ugh," then she lowers her voice enough for Regina alone to hear "it's like we live in a forever eclipse."

Regina puts her newspaper down and looks at Emma.

"So you've noticed."

"Impossible to miss it now that it's been pointed out. How come I never realized?"

"I didn't either until Henry pointed it out."

"When did he point it out?"

"Saturday when he came back from camp."

"A three day solar eclipse is impossible," Emma shrieks but still keeps her voice low.

"I know, it's also getting darker and darker," then Regina's face suddenly becomes hard as she leans back in her chair.

"Sheriff Swan," creepy mayor was back "have you finally decided on what to have for lunch?" she touches Emma again as her eyes connect to Regina's. The brunette feels like jumping across the table to rip out the mayor's heart and crush it to dust. She mentally shakes herself, Henry's book is now influencing her reactions. Still, she wishes she could form a fireball and blast the woman away. The fist that's in her lap, feels warm all of a sudden. She looks down to see it lit on fire. The mayor however takes Regina's lowered gaze as a sign of victory. Her hand makes its way to Emma's neck then shoulders in what Emma thinks its incredibly inappropriate if not creepy. The mayor smirks in Regina's direction once their eyes connect again then takes her leave.

"I fucking hate her. She's so creepy," Emma says in a low voice, but Regina hears her nonetheless.

"Is she harassing you?"

"More like molesting me."

Regina let's out an angry snarl all of a sudden.

"I don't know why the fuck she keeps touching me like that," Emma continues somehow feeling enabled to moan about the mayor given Regina's reaction. She never told anyone how much the lack of personal boundaries from the mayor disturbed her.

But Regina knew, the mayor looked at her when she did it. She did it to hurt Regina, to one up Regina. It had nothing to do with Emma per se, not that she was trying to diminish Emma's own experience. But still, the mayor probably took it as a sign of victory when Regina looked down at her fiery fist. If she only knew. Regina felt ready to kill a bitch, especially if said bitch broke her family apart and made her live a lie all the while molesting Emma like that.

Regina looked outside the window to see the mayor make her way across the street. She flared her fist again and smirked when she saw it light up. She was ready to rip the woman to shreds. She got up and walked out of the dinner intent on ending the other woman. Emma saw it, and instant fear filled her. Regina's going to get her ass thrown in jail if she attacks the mayor and Emma won't be able to prevent it even if she's sheriff.

"Hey," Regina called after the Mayor. The woman stopped at turned to look at Regina.

"Yes Miss Mills? What can I do for you?"

A million things went through Regina's mind: give me my memories back, give me my family back, give me back my life.

"That's Mrs Swan-Mills to you. Leave Emma alone."

The mayor starts to laugh and that annoys the brunette to no end.

"Why would I do that? The Sheriff enjoys it. Besides you have no right."

"I'm her wife, but regardless Emma hates it and she never gave you consent to touch her like that."

The mayor lifts an eyebrow challenging Regina. Emma makes her way to Regina's side and touches her hand.

"Regina, stop, it's not worth it."

The mayor looks almost angry at their touching hands and there's a fury in her eyes when she meets Regina's eyes. Regina opens her fist and links her fingers with Emma's, giving her a gentle squeeze. Regina smirks in reply challenging the other woman. She notices the mayor's gaze flicker for a moment as if she gave a command. She looks from the corner of her eye to see a rock spike make it's way towards Emma's back. In a split second she goes to sit between Emma and the rock spike as she pushes Emma out of the way. Emma's shocked for a second at being pushed by Regina but when she looks up she sees Regina be pierced by a large rock spike. Her mind can't even begin to understand how that thing is even real and she has no time to even think about it as she's busy catching Regina's collapsing body.

"Regina?" Her eyes fill with tears and she starts to sob. She should probably be asking herself where did that come from but all she can think is that Regina's hurt and bleeding and is that blood coming from her mouth? "Why?"

"I love you, Emma. I could never stand to see you hurt."

Emma sobs some more, so many years lost and Regina's loved her all this time, and she's loved Regina just as much.

"I love you too," she sobs some more because it can't end like this. Regina lifts her hand to Emma's cheek to caress her. Emma covers Regina's hand with her own, as the brunette closes her eyes and Emma lets out a strangled "No."

She bends down and touches her lips to Regina. A burst of light leaves their united lips and suddenly the curse is broken and there's light, real full light all around, and there's light in Emma's heart as she remembers, she remembers who she is, she remembers her story, remembers that she's never been separated from Regina and that together they have a beautiful family.

Regina lets out a gasp and a cough as she comes back to consciousness. She remembers now. There was no cheating and Sofia and Henry are hers just like they are Emma's, just like she's Emma's and Emma is hers. There was never someone between them. They're both rising to their feet, Regina's injuries completely gone.

A horrified scream could be heard in the background and both women look up to see the mayor's figure melt in the real sunlight, her beautiful appearance all gone. She creates a ball of dark energy which she aims at Emma and Regina.

Emma feels anger sweep over her and Regina's fingers find her hand again, together they look towards their attacker and let their combined magic fight the darkness. Nehelenia's beam of dark energy is completely destroyed as the light created by Emma and Regina's magic envelops her and kills her, all that's left of her is a stone that becomes completely black and cracks at it hits the ground turning to dust.

Emma turns to Regina and beams at her the brightest smile the brunette's seen in a long time. Regina doesn't hesitate to grab the collar of Emma's shirt and pull her in for a kiss. When they break apart Emma looks at Regina with a very serious expression.

"I nearly lost you. I thought I lost you. Never scare me like that again."

"Not sorry."

"How can you say that?"

"I was saving your life."

"Well don't."

Regina scoffs at that.

"I'm serious. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you."

Regina lifts her hand to wipe Emma's tears.

"I'm sorry I scared you. It wasn't my intention. I only wanted to save you, turns out once again you're the one saving me. My wonderful knight in red leather jacket."

Emma sniffs but smiles unable to contain a small laughter at the way Regina described her.

"No shinny armour?"

"We both know your jacket is your hero trademark like the S on Superman," she continues to caress Emma's face but then pulls her in for another kiss.

"I say we take today off. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too darling, so much. But I want my babies home as well. I've been without my Sofia for a week and you've missed your time with Henry since he came home. I can't believe that bitch made me forget my own family."

"Of course. But don't let Henry hear you say that. He won't be happy you're calling him a baby."

"He'll always be my tiny baby boy."

"Lets go take our children then," Emma grabs Regina's hand again as she poofs them to school where they can pick Henry and Sofia up. Henry barrels into them as soon as they make it to the school gate, he's carrying Sofia on his shoulders having picked her up as soon as the curse broke. Regina reaches for Sofia and she goes to her mother's arms without any protest and hugs her mother really close.

"You did it moms."

"Yes we did," Emma wraps her arm around his shoulder. Regina leans in to kiss his cheek.

"Thank you Henry. We couldn't have done it without you."

He wipes the lipstick away from his cheek but one arm hugs his mom regardless. He's missed his family. But they were together again, yet another curse broken by their true love.
