"Thanks to the hero Regina's sacrifice, Isaac's villainous work was undone."
On these words, everyone came back in Storybrooke as if nothing happened but when Henry looked down at Regina to celebrate their safe return, she was still unconscious… He crouched down to shake her a little but she didn't wake up. He looked up at Emma searching for an answer but she didn't seem to understand either. She had to find Hook, so she ran to find him and bring back her parents at the same time. They would find a solution, they were heroes after all. When Robin arrived at the corner of the street, he started panicking and asked Henry:
-What happened?
-I have no idea, she was supposed to come back alive.
Even if Henry was a believer, he couldn't help the tears falling from his eyes. What has he done? The look on Robin's face was not encouraging either. They both couldn't stop thinking of the worst but Regina is a fighter and always has been. When they saw the Charmings and Hook arrive, everyone looked worried. Robin decided to take the situation into his own hands:
-We need to bring her at the hospital.
He took her in his arms, one arm behind her knees and the other one behind her back, her head resting on his shoulder. Robin shouted to Roland that he loved him, but that he had to stay with Ruby until he came back. He looked at her with a "thank you" look in his eyes. Then, Charming helped him to put her in the car and they all headed to the hospital. They went straight to the emergency entry, screaming for Dr. Whale to come. Robin placed her on a stretcher, gave her a kiss on the forehead and let Whale take her for medical exams.
They all headed to the waiting room but Robin couldn't just sit and wait. What if Regina never woke up? Nothing made sense at this moment. Snow gave him a hug and a reassuring look:
-She's not going to die now Robin. She's a survivor, she's lived worst things than that. Whatever it is.
-How can you be so sure? It kills me to know that I can't do anything for the moment.
-We'll find a way to help her.
She gives him a gently squeeze on the shoulder and started walking back to her chair when Robin stops her:
-What about true love's kiss? We're soulmates after all!
He had to cling at this small slight of hope.
-It can break every curse, yes. But if it's not a curse, then…
They had to try. At the same time, Dr. Whale came back in the waiting room with some news. Not good but not bad either.
-We don't know what's going on, but it's not medical. We now know that it's magic, but we don't know how to make her wake up. You'll have to be heroes again and find something. Robin cuts him by saying:
-Let me see her.
So they both went toward Regina's room, Henry following them; he wanted to see her too. She had to wake up. Dr. Whale waited with him outside of the room. On the other side, Robin went to her bed and took her small hand in his own and started talking:
-Hello love, you need to wake up. Whatever's keeping you away from us needs to leave. I… Please.
And on these words, Robin kisses her. Even through her motionless lips, he could feel through his own body that she was alive and fighting. He caresses her cheeks and jaw gently before leaving her alone. This may not be a curse, but Robin will find a way to save her because love is always stronger than anything.
A few hours later, the Charmings, Belle, Rumplestiltskin, Henry and Robin were in Granny's dinner discussing about a plan to bring Regina back. Belle would go in the library searching for a solution about the consequences of the author's writing. Even if she suffered of emotional pain during so many years because of Regina, she accepted to help them because after all, Regina was Robin's lover and she was his friend. She then convinced Rumple to search something in his potions that could make her wake up. Meanwhile, Henry couldn't stay there doing nothing. All he could think of is that all of this was his fault. Things were back to normality, except for this and Henry needed his mom. Emma saw him being in his thoughts and had to do something:
-Hey kid. It's not your fault ok. It's Isaac's. If he never wrote that book, nothing would have happened. She'll wake up and get her happy ending. I swear.
He sighed and hugged her. Emma was right, but he still couldn't stop thinking that if she doesn't survive to this he would never forgive himself. They would both stay together that night while Robin, Snow and Charming go at the hospital to talk with Dr. Whale. When they passed the door of the hospital, they saw many people running and Whale trying to keep calm. When he saw them coming, he went straight to them:
-Regina's heart started beating too fast. She's not waking up and we can't calm her. She's cold and shaking. We're trying our best to make her stay still, but I'm afraid that she loses this battle.
He looked into Robin's eyes and said:
-I'm really sorry. Keep faith, there are chances. But you should call Henry to come here.
They all looked at each other with worried eyes. Snow is the one who broke the silence:
-I'll call Emma. Keep hope, please..
Everyone was worried, things were happening so fast. The day before, they were all searching for a way to find the author and be happy. Right now, Regina was in an hospital bed fighting for her life.
