    You would have been enough. Knowing that her mother’s heart was back in its place was the only thing that kept the former “insolent” daughter hopeful. Things were finally going well between the two of them and she wasn’t going to let Greenie ruin that—especially if there was a chance that the three of them could be a family. She just had to keep Zelena away from their mother, so that she could help Zelena with that on her own. No one knew better than her that their mother was not exactly a considerate wordsmith. 

 ❝ ——Mother, please. You have no idea what you are dealing with. She has already attempted to make sure I was never born. I cannot imagine what she might try to do if she sees both of us. ❞

Every emotion felt so much stronger than she remembered them, after so long she had gotten used to not having her heart. Now she saw her daughter looking at her, and all she could see were the years she was never fully there. Talking about Zelena reminded her of the guilt she should have carried all these years.

“You know this is an opportunity for us all, the Mills women together at last. If I can make Zelena see this as an opportunity for us to be a family again, perhaps she will see reason.”

“Oh, I know enough, mother dearest. I know enough to know that I am going  to enjoy what I’m going to do to you.”

“Such a temper, I suppose you must get that from me. I know more than most how tempting revenge can be, but it is nothing if it isn’t directed at the right person. I never wanted to give you up.”

“Hello, Mother.”

[queencoraofhearts]

“Zelena? My darling, I never thought I’d set eyes on you. I know what you must think, but you don’t have the entire story.”

    Cora was alive. Their mother was alive and Regina should have known better than to tell Zelena everything about their mother, but most of all, she shouldn’t have told her about Cora raising her without her heart. Now Zelena had a new scapegoat, she had another target other than Regina. Of course knowing that their mother cared in the end wouldn’t be won’t Zelena would hold onto. She was always blinded by that horrid skin condition, that creeping jealousy that seeped through her ever being. And although Regina was somewhat grateful of that Zelena was going to lay off on torturing her for now, she knew it wasn’t fair to push that all on their mother, even if part of her thought she deserved it. 

  ❝ ——Mother. Please let me seal you in my vault. It’s Zelena. She’s coming for you. ❞ 

[queencoraofhearts]

Cora might value self-preservation, but if there was one thing she refused to run from, it was her daughters. As dire as the situation might be, she couldn’t help feeling a warmth in her heart at the concern Regina showed for her now. She stood her ground, shaking her head sternly. 

“She is my daughter, and she thinks I abandoned her. I have to set this right Regina, and as powerful as she may be, I have much more experience.”

"Please, mother. You always have some ulterior motive."

"Not anymore. You are my priority. Now where is this Robin Hood? I should speak to him. We should stay away from anyone green on that note."

   ”I wish I believed you.”

"Why wouldn't you? What else could possibly be keeping me here?" 

[queencoraofhearts]

"I have Henry."

"Speaking of which, am I no longer enough for you?”

"What are you talking about? I'm only here for you."

[queencoraofhearts]

"Don’t say that you’re sorry when you don’t truly mean it, mother."

"I half mean it, does that count? Face it Regina, I heard about this hooded thief of yours. Did his wife's return not hurt? That's what love does, it hurts."

"That came out less apologetic than I intended. I'm sorry Regina, I should have let you find out love only causes pain on your own. I only wanted to protect you from being hurt."

         ”And?”

"It was wrong of me to kill the boy to teach you that lesson, I'm sure sending him far away would have worked just as well."
