Chapter 7

"Really Ruby, two charming women in the same day?" Regina spat harshly as she entered the waiting room of the hospital, Gold following closely behind her. Ruby's head shot up off of Mary Margaret's shoulder and she quickly jumped backwards efficiently landing on the ground with a thud. "Ruby?! Are you okay?" Mary Margaret asked as she stood up and offered her hand to the girl on the floor.

Ruby stood up ignoring the hand offered to her looking anywhere but at either of the women in the room, Regina rolled her eyes at the stupidity of the women in front of her. With an odd look directed at Ruby Mary Margret slowly turned to face Regina but her eyes widened at who stood behind the malevolent mayor.

"Mr. Gold? What brings you here?" Mary Margaret asked taken aback at the man's presence. "Well dearie to tell you the truth, I don't honestly know, our Mayor here came over to my shop and demanded that I follow her over here because the sheriff has found herself in quite the predicament."

"Enough chitchat!" Regina snarled not hiding the glare she was directing at both of the women, swiftly Regina turned and headed towards Emma's room. Halfway down the hall Regina glanced back at the waiting room seeing the two women talking quietly, Mary Margaret had her arm rapped firmly around Ruby's waist and Regina couldn't help but snarl to herself.

"We need a crash team to room 104, code red, code red, I repeat we need a crash team in room 104 immeadtely!"

Regina's head snapped back around faster than was probably healthy, as she saw a team of doctors and nurses rushing down the hall from the other way, pushing a cart full of everything from different syringes to chest paddles. 'Room 104? Why does that number sound so fami… NO!' Regina's eyes widened as she watched the team rush down the hall and into the room in which she was head.

Without even realizing it Regina was running down the hall and into the room the team just entered… into Emma's room. "No" she whispered as she watched the scene in front of her. There on the bed was Emma, but something wasn't right, her lips and fingers were blue and it appeared that she wasn't breathing. Around the bed the nurses and doctors were working on her trying to get her to start breathing again, they put a breathing tube down her throat but it didn't appear to be helping. Off to the side was a machine that was monitoring Emma's heart beat but even that wasn't normal, her heart was slowing down and it was beating irregularly.

"The tube isn't working; give her 300mcg of adrenalin now!" Doctor Whale barked at the nurse on the left side of the bed, quickly she reached over to the cart and grabbed the syringe and stabbed it into Emma's chest, and within seconds Emma's heart beat started to speed up and returned back to its normal speed, if not a bit faster, and she slowly and shallowly started to breathe again. Dr. Whale carefully took the breathing tube out of Emma's lungs and replaced it with an oxygen mask.

Regina stood there in there, in the entrance to the room, watching the whole scene unravel in front of her, tears were once again rolling down her cheeks and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. The whole time she was standing there watching, she forgot that Gold was standing behind her.

Although he was surprised at what was happening in front of him involving Emma, he was even more surprised at the mayor's reaction, he could hear her almost silent sobs and he could see her body was visibly shaking. 'What in the name of everything holy is going on with this woman?' His eyebrow was raised and his mind was racing with thoughts and ideas.

But at the moment, Regina didn't care who was around her, all she cared about was the woman that was lying in the bed, whose color was slowly but surely turning back to her regular color, if not a little more pale than usual.

"We need to have Miss Swan moved to an observation room right away, I don't know what caused this, but we need to run some tests right away." Doctor Whale order the nurses around him to take the blood and get everything stored away back onto the cart and as the room cleared, Regina made her way in, standing right next to Emma's bed. She let her hand fall down onto the bed next to Emma's and she quickly scooped it up into her own squeezing it tightly.

"Regina?" came the imp's voice from his place in the door way where he stayed. "What is going on here?" Regina's posture never changed and she didn't even hide the quiver in her voice when she spoke next. "You shall see." And that was all she said before she quickly removed the mask covering Emma's face and leant down and pressed her lips against those of the sleeping and recovering girl in the bed.

Emma's lips were even softer than Regina ever thought, and even though the girl was unconscious this was indeed the best kiss she had ever had. The kiss was soft and short and with one last quick peck Regina let herself feel all the love inside her and she pulled back just enough to say quietly "I love you Emma." She leant in and placed one last peck on her lips and just like that, Rings of purple shot forth starting at them and making their way out expanding until they couldn't be seen anymore.

Regina slipped the mask back on and slowly stood up and turned to face Gold again, never letting go of Emma's hand. The look on Gold's face was priceless and unreadable. "Heal her." Regina said still not bothering to put her hard mask back on. Gold just stood there, dumbfounded at what he just witnessed.

"What have you done?" he paused. "You broke your own curse?" Regina just raised her eyebrow at the man. "Just do it." She commanded every bit the infamous Evil Queen. Gold ignored her tone and stepped into the room and didn't stop until he was on the other side of the sheriff's bed, he raised his eyes to look at Regina and then lowered them back down to Emma's unconscious frame. "You better not have been lying about what you told me earlier your majesty or believe me when I say that I will take everything that you hold dear until you are nothing." The imp spat out icily.

He raised his hands until they were covering Emma's forehead, his eyes slipped closed, and he began to chat softly under his breath and soon a white light shone bright out from under his hands and it began to cover Emma's whole body, engulfing her in its warmth. Regina let Emma's hand slip out of hers as the light reached their joined appendages, and a few seconds later Gold removed his hands from Emma's head and they waited for the light to cease.

Minutes later, though it felt like hours, the glow stopped revealing Emma once again, her color was back to the normal color it should be and there weren't any casts or wires or breathing masks left, all that was there was Emma and the bed that she was laying on. Regina grasped onto Emma's hand again and sat down next to her on the bed; she cupped her cheek and leaned in close to her, "Emma? Emma darling, can you hear me?" she whispered softly afraid of scaring the girl.

Emma's eyes started to move slowly behind her eyelids and her breathing started to become that of a person awake, and slowly her eyes opened, she blinked a few time and looked around the room, her eye brows were creased and she looked over at Gold and then quickly looked to Regina and down to her hand that Regina was holding. She looked so confused, "Emma? What's wrong darling?" Regina asked worried that the spell didn't work.

Quickly Emma snapped out of her stupor and released Regina's hand and sat up quickly almost hitting Regina. Regina's eyes were wide and her face held shock and utter fear. Emma scooted up farther up the bed until she was a safe distance from the woman that was next to her.

She squinted her eyes looking at her and pulled her legs up and wrapped her arms around them in a protective and scared position. "Who are you?"
