Emma had had a long day, after three open-heart operations in a row, all she needed was to sit down. But that would not happen
The paramedics were coming in at full speed pushing a stretcher with a man on it. Emma ran to the trauma room where they had put the man.
"34-year-old man run over, at least 6 broken ribs, head trauma and inflammation in the abdomen, possible bleeding" Said one of the paramedics.
Emma pushed her way through the medical team and took her stethoscope by placing it on the patient's heart. She try to isolate the noise and listen carefully.
"The heartbeats are weak," she said. "You need to start operating right now or he will not resist. Your vital signs are very low
"Take him to the operating room 4 and call Goldl, I'm going to need help" order Killian, one of the hospital surgeons "I'll call you if I need you Swan".
"Okay, watch for the rhythm of his heartbeat, I think he have arrhythmia".
Killian just nodded and ran after the stretcher. Emma put the stethoscope back on her neck and left the room.
"Excuse me, Doctor ..." Emma turned to the woman who spoke to her. "Do you know anything about the man who just got carried away?"
The woman had blood on her face, her hands, and her blouse. Her eyes were full of tears and her hair looked fuzzy.
"Are you his family?" ask Emma.
"He is my fiancée".
"They will take him to surgery, he need an urgent intervention ... They will notify you when the operation is finished".
"Thank you" the woman said in a whisper.
Emma nodded and turned, after advancing two steps she stopped and turned again to the woman who was shaking sitting on a chair.
"You need help?"
The woman looked up to look at Emma and shook her head.
"No, I'm fine".
"Come, let me help you." Emma approached her and took her arm. "I'll help you clean up."
The two women walked to a large room with comfortable armchairs.
"I'll go find some wet wipes ... Please sit down" Emma went to the bathroom and the woman sat down carefully on one of the sofas.
Emma walked over to her and sat down opposite her on the coffee table.
"Are you hurt?"
"No ... it's not my blood."
"I'm Emma ... Emma Swan".
"Regina Mills".
Emma gave Regina a wipe to clean her hands and took another to help clean her face
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes, nothing happened to me" Regina replied, rubbing her hands with the wipe.
Emma began to gently pass the wipe over Regina's cheeks. His dark hair fell down his face and his brown eyes were red from crying.
"It was my fault".
"What are you talking about?" asked Emma confused.
"We were arguing, he grabbed my arm and he was hurting me. I pushed him and yelled at him to leave and leave me alone. Robin began to walk and he didn't see the car that was coming ..." Regina's eyes began to fill with tears again and her body began to tremble "It was my fault".
"Of course it wasn't your fault." Emma dried her tears and began to look for the brunette's eyes. "You did not run over him, he crossed the street distracted and that's what happened."
Regina was still crying disconsolately, Emma wrapped her arms around her and let the woman's head rest on her shoulder.
Emma's empathy for the woman was incredible. They were strange, seconds ago was just another person in the hospital and now hugged her trying to comfort her. Despite the smell of blood, she could smell the vanilla scent of Regina's perfume.
Emma was a person who didn't show her feelings very often, the world of medicine was hard and cold and there the feelings were not good, she had learned to leave them aside long ago, but that brunette who looked so weak and frightened had softened His heart at least a little that night.
"Sorry about this" Regina apologized, slowly pulling away from Emma. "It's just that I'm very upset."
"It's okay. You do not need to apologize".
"Dr. Swan, please introduce yourself in the waiting room."
"That's me" Emma said, pointing to the ceiling. "I'll come back for you when I hear. You can stay here if you want."
"Thank you." Regina tried to smile.
Emma walked away quickly and Regina ran her hands over her face with a big sigh. She was so restless, she wanted to know if Robin was okay, she felt guilty, her hands trembled and she wanted to cry until she fell asleep, but she couldn't do it. For some strange reason the presence of that doctor had reassured her, she had given her a small moment of peace, feeling that someone was beside her and supported her, the reason because she had done so: was a mystery, but she was grateful.
Regina decided to go to the waiting room and sit there until she heard from her fiancé, she needed water or maybe a cup of coffee. People kept staring at her and some of them even grimaced, but she was not going to move until she heard from Robin.
When she looked at the nurse's desk there was Dr. Swan talking to one of her colleagues, a man with a black hair, tall and very handsome. The doctor looked at Regina, she could not tell if it was pity, compassion or concern what was in her eyes. Seconds later Emma was walking up to her
"Your fiancée has already left surgery" she said. "She's in intensive care and they'll have him there all night. He's stable but the doctors have to have watched
"I can see him?" Regina asked rising from the chair.
"Not now ... But I recommend you that you go home and take a bath and rest. He is in good hands".
"No thanks, I'd rather stay here until he wake up."
"In that case, allow me to lend you a blouse for you to change. I do not think you want to be around here with clothes full of blood."
Regina nodded and followed Emma to the room where the doctors kept their belongings. Emma took her purse and pulled out a gray cotton blouse and handed it to the brunette.
"Thank you," she replied. She walked up to the bathroom and changed quickly.
When she left the bathroom Emma realized that the blouse was big for her. He had a small, delicate body. Emma was thin, but Regina was thinner
"I think it's very big"
"It's perfect" Regina said. "Doctor, why are you doing this?"
"Call me Emma ... And I do it because if I were in the same situation I would like someone to be kind to me" She was telling the truth, but she was also doing it because that woman caused something in her, an instinct to protect her.
"So you believe in karma?"
"It's a matter of principle".
"Thank you." It was Regina's first smile all day.
Emma smiled back and they walked together to the waiting room.
"If you need anything else, feel free to tell me." Emma turned and started to walk.
Regina watched her as if she did not want her to leave, but she didn't dare to say anything.
What was it about the woman who made her feel so calm?
