Mary Margaret's Point of View

Emma Swan was a hard woman to get close to. She hadn't live in Storybrook very long and she had lived with me for an even shorter space of time. Emma didn't have many things and she didn't have any family, which is probably what made her the way she is. However there was something about her, something so familiar that I found myself asking her to move in with me anyway.

She moved to our little town after her son Henry found her. Henry is a student of mine who believes everyone in the town is a fairy-tale character. To make things even stranger he thinks I am Snow White and Emma is my daughter. Which of course is crazy I mean we are the same age, but I did feel like her mother at times especially the day she came home sick.

"M-M-Mary M-Margret I'm ACHHHHUUHHHH!" Was the greeting I got from the newly appointed sheriff.

"You ok?" I asked concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine." She replied.

However as I walked around the corner I saw she was far from fine.

"Emma you look terrible!" I gasped.

Her hair was soaking wet, she was shivering and look like she was about to collapse.

"It was a long day that's all. I'm going to take a shower." She said before heading upstairs and into the bathroom.

While she was gone her phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Henry so I answered for her.

"Hi Henry, your mom is in the shower I will get her to call you back." I told him.

"No that's ok Miss Blanchard I was just calling to make sure she was ok after she fainted at Granny's. I guess she must be if she made it home so I will call her in the morning bye!" Henry replied before ending the call.

Just as I was setting the phone down Emma slowly made her way down the stairs swaying slightly as she did.

"Wow you sure your ok?" I asked again, reaching out to steady her as I did.

Reluctantly she took my hand as she steadied herself.

"Yes I'm fine." She insisted but I wasn't convinced.

"Who was ACHHHUUUUHHH!" Was her next attempt at a sentence.

Rolling my eyes at her stubbornness I reached over and took her by the wrist. However as I did she swayed more dramatically and I had to catch her before she fell. She was making a horrible gasping noise and it sounded like she couldn't breathe.

"Emma? Emma come on wake up!" I cried as she fell unconscious.

The paramedic's arrived quickly and within seconds they had an oxygen mask on Emma. She was wheeled out of the apartment as I was grabbing my car keys. The drive to the hospital was one of the longest drives of my life. I didn't even know why I cared so much about someone I only knew a few weeks, but I couldn't help it. All I knew was I needed Emma to be ok.

Regina's Point of View

I knew my plan had worked when I got the call from Doctor Whale. Miss Swan was admitted to the hospital with an unknown illness and she wasn't waking up. My plan to manipulate the sleeping curse had worked and now there was no Saviour and my son would put it down to a simple illness. Before long Emma would die and everything would go back to normal.

Or so I thought!

Mary Margaret's Point of View

All I could hear was the sound of beeping machines. They where everywhere, keeping Emma alive with every beep. I couldn't believe how fast things had escalated. At first I thought it was just the flu but now they were telling me they didn't know what was wrong with her and they didn't know how to treat her.

I was left sitting by her bedside praying she would wake up, but there was no sign of that happening.

I must have dozed off when I heard the beeping grow louder and more frantic sounding. It clearly meant something was wrong and before long the room was filled with nurses and Doctor Whale. I was ushered out of the room, the blinds where closed and I knew things had got even worse.

"Why? Why is this happening?" I whispered to myself as tears filled my eyes.

I don't know how much time passed, I don't even know if any time passed at all. However the moment Doctor Whale approached me with an apologetic look on his face I knew, I knew she was gone. In that moment time stopped and I swear I felt my heart break. Doctor Whale was talking to me, but I didn't care or even hear what he was saying. I just walked passed him into Emma's room.

As I approached her bed and took her hand in mine something happened. It was like a million memories being shoved into my head. It took me a moment to realise what they were. They were my memories!

Everything from the moment I met Charming to the moment I found out I was pregnant came rushing back. I was momentarily happy until it hit me. This woman wasn't just my roommate and friend she was so much more than that. She was my daughter and she was dead.

"No, this can't be happening this isn't supposed to be what happens! We were supposed to be a family you were supposed to save us so we could be together again!" I cried as I leaned over her bed.

She looked so much like Charming it scared me. Except her chin she had my chin. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I leaned over and brushed her hair from her face. I couldn't believe it my world was shattered and I only just remembered who I was.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry we failed you Emma…." I whispered as I placed a kiss on her forehead.

Just as I was straightening up a gasp escaped Emma's lips and her eyes shot open. I jumped in shock as Emma began to choke.

"Dr Whale!" I called as I helped Emma into a sitting position.

Just as I was passing her a glass of water Dr Whale rushed in. The look of shock on his face was priceless. He immediately started to check Emma over but found nothing wrong with her. Well nothing major she still had a pretty bad flu. Once he was gone I went over and sat next to my daughter. The only problem was what happened to me didn't seem to happen to her or anyone else for that matter.

I was the only one who had my memories of the past and now I would have to help my daughter become the saviour along with my grandson!
