Chapter 4:

"Gold." Emma heard her father say. Snow and Charming helped her back on her feet, hardly. The sky had suddenly become dark.

"We need to take you to the hospital" Snow urged Emma.

"I need to find Henry" Emma said ignoring her. "I cannot leave him alone"

"He's not." Charming said. "He is with Red, so he is safe... now we have to take care of you"

"I don't need to be taken care of" She said without thinking. She noticed a flicker of pain in her father's eyes.

"Snow!" Red came running towards them gasping. Granny, Grumpy and Henry trailed behind her.

"What happened?" Grumpy said quickly "What was that shake?"

"I do not know." Snow said worriedly.

"Emma, are you okay?" Henry questioned when he noticed Emma limping.

"I'm fine" His mother scanned Henry up and down "Are you okay?"

"Can we please focus on the earth shaking?" Grumpy said awkwardly.

"Right" Snow held a tight grip on Emma. "We need to go to the hospital"

"No we don't" Emma said quickly feeling anxious on all the attention that was giving to her. "We need to find Gold."

"No" Charming said sternly. Emma froze. This was not David Nolan. This was a man who was used to giving orders and yet me gentle when he needed to be. "We need check that injury, please Emma"

And there she was sitting in a hospital bed. Having giving up to her parents requests. Her parents. A mother who was hurt because she had been deceived. A mother that loved her. That would have given everything to take care of her child, instead of what she had thought at first. Her parents not wanting to let each other go. But then again, she saw it, the love. The deep love of her parents towards her.

"Here" James entered the room with a glass of water. "It's going to take a little while for someone to check on you. I am sorry, everything is a mess"

"Some kind of princess treatment they are giving me" Emma rolled her eyes avoiding her father's eyes. "Sorry"

"That's fine" James shrugged. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I got hit by a train" Emma shrugged slightly "It's been a hell of a day"

"Tell me about it" James smiled charmingly "Your... Snow should be back soon"

"Where is she?" Emma asked "I thought you couldn't be apart from each other" This was her mocking him, but her father did not react.

"She is making sure Henry is well taken care of" Her father said. As on cue, Henry and Snow appeared with a smaller man behind that Emma figured was Doc.

"Well Hello Princess Emma" Doc said politely. Emma rolled her eyes at the word. Snow gave Doc a knowing look. "Your mother has requested for me to check upon you"

"You are a dwarf" Emma said scanning him as he leaned to reach for her leg. "Are you a doctor?"

"I..." Doc stammered "I do assist your parents and the kingdom in all I can"

"You did not answer my question" Emma said bluntly. "I don't want him to..."

"Emma" Snow said calmly "Doc is fine... this is what he does" Emma rolled her eyes as she laid back on the bed. Doc cut her jeans a bit.

"As long as I can go after Gold" Emma muttered. James and Snow stood as Doc examined her. They exchanged anxious glances as they heard Emma being in pain.

"She needs to be put on a cast, on her ankle at the least." Doc pointed out moving his glasses up. "I will go get someone to assist me as I do not know how medicine could make one" He seemed frustrated but he was smiling up at Snow once he left.

"Great." Emma looked up at the ceiling. The white wall making her feel a bit sick. "More waiting."

"Emma?" A small voice asked opening the door. "How are you feeling?"

"Have you eaten something kid?" Emma asked quickly as Henry jumped to the bed with her. He hesitated a bit looking up at his grandparents "I'm fine."

"Good" Henry smiled warmly. "Grandma said that I will go home with Ruby for tonight" Emma shot her mother a look. "You need to rest"

"I'm fine" Emma said annoyed ruffling his hair. "I'm going home tonight"

"But..." Henry said. "You need to stay here so you can get better"

"Snow?" Grumpy opened the door slightly. "A word?" James and Snow looked from Grumpy to Emma and Henry. Snow sighed as she led Charming outside the room.

"We'll be right outside" Snow told Henry. Emma smiled a bit.

"We went to check on the kid" Grumpy said once they were outside. Happy and Dopey were now with him. "You know... Geppetto's kid?"

"Is he alright?" Snow asked automatically. Charming tensed a bit.

"He was gone" Happy said. "We got there and he wasn't there."

"What?" Charming asked. "Where is he then?" Grumpy and the others shrugged.

"We'll keep looking" Grumpy said smiling. Snow and her husband smiled back gratefully.

"She is beautiful" Happy pointed out tenderly "Emma I mean"

"Yeah" Snow said.

"Here we are" Doc had found Doctor Whale "He is going to help me take care of Emma, medicine here doesn't work the same as it did back home" Whale shot Snow a look that she hoped hadn't seen. He had.

"We are off now." Grumpy smirked at them "Go be with your kid, the town can wait for a while" Snow and Charming shrugged slightly as they watched them go.

"She doesn't want us in there" Snow said. Charming placed his hand on her shoulder. They stood watching Emma and Henry talking while Doc and Whale prepared to get Emma geared up. She had refused to leave the room unless it meant she could go so both of them had to improvise. "She doesn't want us"

"It's going to take her a little while" Charming kissed the back of her neck. "It's a lot to take in"

"You seemed to be okay talking to her a moment ago" Snow pointed out. Charming spined her around so she was looking straight into his eyes.

"No" He said. "She was just showing me what she showed all her foster families" It made him sick to think of all the people that had harmed his baby girl. "You were another story"

"When I was Mary Margaret" Snow said "She doesn't want anything to do with me"

"She wants all to do with you" Charming smiled "She just doesn't know how to ask for it"

"How do you know?" His wife asked heartbroken.

"Because you know her better than anyone" Charming said with a bit of jealousy in his voice. "You could be the Mary Margaret she needs and when the time comes, she will need her mother"

"What if she never does?" She asked again. Tears streaming down her face. Charming cleaned them with his thumb. Doc and Whale came back out before Charming could answer.

"She refuses to be given something to help her sleep" Whale said. Snow sighed.

"However" Doc interjected. "She requests to talk to you"

"We'll leave you to it then." the doctor and the dwarf bowed and left. Charming took Snow's hand and squeezed it. He opened the door for her. Emma looked up at them almost instantly. Henry smiled up at them and then kissed his mother on the cheek.

"I'll be right back." Henry winked at his grandparents. He smirked at Emma's plead. He leaned closer to Snow and Charming. "You've got this." Emma followed Henry with her eyes until he was out of sight. Emma tried sitting on the bed, both her parents pulling up a chair beside her.

"So.." Snow began "I heard you missed Mary Margaret."

"How did you figure?" Emma smiled a bit. "I kind of do since this has been the longest day ever and, I need someone to talk to."

"Well. We are here now." Snow smiled "So let's talk."
