Regina awakes with a start. An incessant beeping instantly meeting her ears; she can hear it's coming from her right side.
What the hell happened?
She opens her eyes slowly, a blinding light instantly clouding her vision. As she adjusts her eyes to the florescent light, she realizes she is in a hospital. She can feel the plastic-like feeling of the sheets underneath her as the pungent smell of antiseptics meets her nostrils. She feels a quick pain shoot up her right arm and she quietly grunts in pain, lifting her right hand to her face, examining it. She has a tube in her arm, she can see a clear liquid going from a bag above her, into her body, more specifically, her bloodstream. A dull ache begins to pulse throughout her skull. She moves her hand, pressing it to her forehead, and softly moans in pain.
That's when it all comes back to her.
Her collapsing on the hospital's tiled floor, the baby, Robin's look of concern as he held her, Zelena's devilish smirk.
She instantly shoots up in the hospital bed with wide eyes.
Robin. The baby.
What the hell did Emma do? she thinks as she digs her nails into her palms breathing heavily in anger. That's when she hears a movement coming from her left side. She quickly turns her head to the left to see a pair of familiar ocean blue eyes staring back at her dark brown one's with concern.
"Hey, hey," he reassures her, "everything's okay."
As she looks at Robin, eyes wide and filled with fear, a silence fills the hospital room.
That's when she begins rambling, tears of anger begin to well up in her eyes.
"Robin, what the hell happened?! Is the baby okay? Where's Emma! I swear if she touched that baby-"
"-Regina breathe. The baby is completely fine. She is fast asleep in her bassinet in the delivery room. They had to run a few more tests because of the escalated pregnancy," Robin reassures her, rubbing her back soothingly.
"Are you okay?" Robin asked concern evident in his voice.
"Yes, I'm fine. I don't know what happened. One minute I'm looking at the baby, and the next I have a blinding headache, and I'm fainting," Regina replies, holding her head in her hands.
" I was so scared when you fainted in my arms, Regina. I didn't know what was wrong. I just kept screaming your name hoping that you would come back. I yelled at Whale to help you, and he told me to bring you in here." he says.
"Whatever they injected you with, it seems to be helping you, yes?" he asks, his eyes not meeting hers.
"Oh yeah, definitely. " Regina says, exhaling slowly, "It was one the worst pains I've ever felt. Robin...It was like a hammer was beating against my skull, like some force was pulling at me, and then everything just went black." she replies her eyes closed, remembering all of the pain she had endure throughout her entire life up to now; both emotional and physical.
"Did Whale say what it was? How it happened? Why it happened?" she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"He had no idea what it was," Robin states, seriousness clouding his tone, "he said it 'wasn't anything that he could treat' whatever that means." he says.
"Magic," Regina mumbles to herself.
"What?" Robin says, confusion clouding his tone.
"Magic," Regina says again, gripping Robin's bicep like a lifeline.
"Love, what about magic?" Robin asks, grabbing the hand that was gripping his bicep in his, softly rubbing her knuckles with his calloused fingertips.
"Where's Zelena?" Regina grumbles angrily under her breath.
"Wait. What does this have to do with Zelena?" Robin asks his brows furrowed, and lines of confusion etched on his face.
Ignoring her soulmate, Regina yanks the clear tubes from her arm, with a quick gasp of pain, and rips back the thin hospital sheet covering her body. Seeing that she is wearing an uncomfortable light blue hospital gown, she quickly scoffs in disgust, waving her hand in the air, and is engulfed in purple smoke. She reappears in the dark blue zip up dress, and black leather jacket she was wearing earlier.
She stands up and starts making her way to the hospital door when Robin stops her with a hand on her arm.
"Regina, what are you doing?" he asks her. She can hear the warning in his tone.
Regina throws her head behind her shoulder, "I'm going to have a chat with my sis," Regina says, a sly smile slowly making it's way onto her face.
"Regina-" Robin starts.
"-What?" Regina snaps, interrupting him.
She is standing under the door frame, facing away from her soulmate.
"She's not here..." he says slowly.
"What?" Regina asks, her tone becoming serious.
She quickly turns to face Robin, "Well then where the hell is she?!" Regina asks, throwing her hands up in the air.
Silence floods the hospital room.
"Robin.. Where did she go?" She asks, slowly walking towards him.
"Emma took her. After you collapsed," he pauses, "She came in, threw the doctor against the wall using her magic, and poofed her and Zelena away in a cloud of grey smoke." he replies.
Regina glances up at him, a look of surprise etched on her face.
"She wasn't after the baby?" Regina asks walking toward him.
"No. Not at all" Robin reassures her.
Her brows instantly furrow, her lips creating a menacing look of evil.
Lines of confusion instantly appear on Robin's forehead as she heads to the room's exit again.
"Regina what's going on?" he asks as she continues to walk, her heels on the cold tile floor causing a loud clack to sound with each step she took.
She stops, hesitates, and turns around to face Robin, a look of evil taking over her facial expression.
"No one hurts my sister, but me," she replies as she disappears into a cloud of purple smoke.
This wasn't my best :P Promise it'll be more angsty and dramatic next chapter.
