Nick was coming out from the bathroom in The Charming's loft spotting Regina lacing up her boots as she sat up in bed.
She rubbed the back of her neck, removing herself from the mattress and sighed, "Hi, I know I should be..."
"It's fine." He replied, rolling down his sleeves and holding out his hand, "Bed rest was never really your thing anyway."
"Nicholas, hon, when I made the decision for a trigger, it was in case of an emergency. If our home was destroyed or dared to be harmed by some kind of threat."
"And the Charming's idea to never include us, practically abandoning our lives was one of those things...?"
"...when you put it that way, it sounds like I went overboard."
"Cause you did." He remarked, cocking his head to the side.
She opened her mouth to retort but nodded in agreement, "Fair enough. We just need to stop the trigger and—"
She cut herself off when the front door opened to reveal The Charming's, Emma and the kids rushing in.
"Oh my gosh!" Regina exclaimed in relief.
Henry and Scarlett ran over as they hugged her. Each calling Regina either 'mom' and 'mama'.
Scarlett in the moment dropped the 'Gina' half to her statement, just glad to see her again. Nick embraced the 3 of them only to hug them tightly as a large boom shattered the relief they shared.
"Woah!" Exclaimed Snow, as David trampled and Emma wobbled into the corner.
The plate shattered into pieces as the rest of the dishes shook while the rumbling subsided.
"Regina is that..." Emma began to speak.
Regina finished her sentence, "Yes. The diamond was activated."
"So we're all gonna die?" Henry asked, as Scarlett looped their arms together.
"You were born here. So you'll live, bubba." Nick informed their son.
Henry didn't seem to like that, as the feeling sunk in, looking at his mother sadly.
