Please REVIEWWWWWW.. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW..

THANKS HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY.

That was easier said then done, since neither woman knew where the hell that hat was.

Emma hung from a ladder tucked into the ceiling as she moved some boxes around looking for the one thing that was going to save the woman she loved. Regina tried to summon the hat with her magic, but since she wasn't even sure she still had it the task was ever more difficult.

"Is there something you guys need help with?" Henry asked in confusion as he bit a twizzler looking at his moms.

Emma got startled and actually fell from the ladder making Regina run to her side as Henry chuckled under his breath. Emma winced in pain as she pulled a soccer trophy from underneath her, that had hurt.

"We are looking for Jefferson's hat we really need that hat so we can s…" Emma was cut off by Regina who gave her a nudge.

"So we can sell it." Regina didn't know what else to say.

Henry knew something was up and both woman stood motionless. Regina didn't want to worry him that's why she had lied, but she also was aware that Henry knew she was lying and now was at an even bigger loss.

"I know where the hat is but unless I get the truth you aren't getting that hat!" He bit his twizzler again.

Regina looked over at Emma with pleading eyes, but Emma only gave her a smile that showed she was sorry. She had to tell Henry, there was no time for games. Henry noticed the shift in both women and pushed himself off the wall worry etched all over his face. Before he could ask Emma walked over to him putting a hand on his shoulder explaining everything to him. Henry never said anything in fact he never took his eyes off the floor, instead he turned and exited the room coming back seconds later holding Jefferson's hat.

"I saved it, I was going to give it to mom for her birthday I thought maybe she wanted to go see Cora, I know she misses her!" Henry said trying not to cry.

Regina's eyes glazed over and the pull in her heart actually made her smile. If there was ever a doubt that her son loved her, it had just now completely disintegrated. She walked over to him and held him tight kissing the top of his head.

"This better work mom, I am not losing you! You are my mom, I need you!" Henry said looking up at Regina, pleading.

"It will kid; I am going to make sure of it!" Was all Emma said as she joined the hug.

They had left Henry with Granny, they knew that other than themselves and the Charming's, Granny would protect him. They walked as quickly as possible over to town hall, looking into the sky for signs of the wraith. Charming and Snow were already there waiting when they walked in.

"Did you find it?" Charming asked

"Yea, Henry had it. That kid is the smartest one out of all of us." Emma deadpanned as she pulled the hat out of its case. "Here Regina you have to open the portal." Emma handed the hat to the brunette.

Regina bent down and began to focus on the task at hand. She wasn't sure exactly what happened but what she did know was that the portal had not opened instead town hall was now on fire. She focused back on the hat and still nothing, and then she heard it, the screams of the wraith and she knew it was close. Emma hovered over her trying to get the portal to open. Regina looked up pleading at the blonde.

"Help me!" Regina cried as Emma bent down to see what she could do.

Within a matter of seconds, the wraith was at the door and the Snow and Charming were trying hard to keep it at bay so Regina could summon the portal. Regina looked up at the blonde and gave her a nod.

"Emma, leave without me." Regina pleaded

Instead Emma but her hand to on Regina's arm and instantly the hat began to spin exposing the portal they had been seeking.

The wraith grew closer, they could no longer keep him away. Before Regina could fully stand Emma spotted the demon getting closer to Regina and without thinking of herself she pushed the brunette out of the way.

Regina turned quickly to see the wraith going into the portal, taking the love of her life with it in the process. Just like that the portal was closed and the wraith was gone, but Emma… Emma was gone too, and she took Regina's heart with her.

She couldn't understand what had just happened. Where was Emma? How had the portal opened when Emma touched her? She was defeated, she looked at Snow and Charming and they sat motionless on the floor they had lost their daughter and there was nothing any of them could do.

Snow walked over to a sobbing Regina.

"You can fix this Regina; you have to fix this. Pull yourself together and get Emma back here." Snow pleaded as she nudged the woman.

"I can't save her Snow, I don't know how. Emma would know what to do. I am not even sure how I got the portal to open….I am sorry!" Regina's tears were now drowning her.

"I watched Regina, when Emma touched you the portal opened. That's because Love… True love is magic.. and you guys made magic together. That is why I know you can save her because whether I like it or not, she is your true love."

"Magic always come with a price Snow. This price was too high; Emma shouldn't have been the one to pay it I should have been." Regina covered her eyes as she fell even deeper apart.

"No one deserved to pay it and Emma is just on loan we have to figure out how to get her back, and we will." Snow cradled the woman below her, she had to, because Regina was in fact the only one that could get Emma back, that part she was sure about.

At this point Regina had gone back to lay in bed with her son finishing the crippling process of telling him their story, this is where they were, this was their reality, where could they go from here?

"3 weeks later and this is where I am. I find myself clutching a pillow underneath my chin to muffle the tears shed for the woman I love. The memories of Emma overflow my brain every single day and every single night, she is all I can think about. The nights we spent together talking, laughing, and loving one another. I know I haven't been here but every day I am filled by exhaustion and pain, and sleep takes me away from it. Everyone expected me to get her back, but I couldn't, I can't. She is gone and it's all my fault."

She wiped away the tears on her face and clutched her son tighter. Now he knew everything there was to know.
