Everyone had rushed to Regina's side as soon as she fell to the floor. Emma shook her lightly and called her name but she didn't wake. She looked up at Mary-Margaret and David not sure what to do. David leaned down and lifted Regina up walking over to the bed her placed her down.
"We should get Gold. Just in case this is some kind of magic." David said. "I'll go and get him."
"Perhaps you should tell Robin as well. He will want to know." Mary-Margaret suggested. David nodded and quickly left the house.
Henry walked over and stood beside his mom. Picking up her hand he looked down at her. "Emma, my mom's going to be okay isn't she?" Henry asking looking up at Emma.
"Course she is kid. She's just tired that's all." Emma replied giving Henry a comforting smile.
It wasn't long before David returned with Gold and Robin behind him. Robin pushed his way in and hurried over to Regina's side. He sat on the edge of the bed and held onto her hand. David was still explaining to Gold what had happened. He finished and Gold nodded. He walked over to the side of the bed and waved his hand over Regina.
He could sense no dark magic used against her. No curse. Nothing. All he could sense was the incredible amount of power from the baby. "You said the baby stopped Zelena and Cora from going near Regina?" Gold asked. David nodded. "That has to be it."
"What?" Henry asked.
"The baby using it's magic is taking its toll on your mother Henry. It's an incredible amount of power to hold when you are not used to it."
"But my mother is powerful. She has powers."
"Yes but your little brother or sister holds so much more. When the baby uses it to protect both mother and baby it takes a lot of energy from Regina. She's drained by it." Gold explained. "As they baby grows it's power grows."
"Will she be okay?" Robin asked the worry showing on his face.
"I won't deny it is going to get harder for her. As the baby and its power grows she will begin to feel weaker. More tired. She will probably feel weighed down. She will need a lot of looking after." Gold said looking down at the woman on the bed.
"Well we will all look after her. Right?" Henry said looking at each adult in the room.
They all nodded and Emma spoke up. "Of course we will kid. Whether she wants it or not."
Regina's eyes began to flicker and she tried to register where she was. She looked around her seeing many pairs of eyes on her. She shot up but was immediately pushed back down on to the bed by Robin. "You need to rest Regina." He said softly.
"No I'm fine."
"Regina…" He said raising a brow. "You collapsed. Your drained. You need to rest."
"I don't I'm fine. I just have rested."
"You're going to have to do a lot more resting." Mary-Margaret said. "Start taking it a lot easier."
"Why?" Regina asked.
"As the baby grows its power is growing." Emma said. "It's feeding off your energy which is making you weak and more tired. It's feeding off you a lot more than what a normal baby does Regina. Which means you are going to need to start relying on us a lot more."
"Yea we are going to help you mom. Take care of you." Henry said giving her a smile.
"Oh Henry I don't need take care of."
"You do mom. And we are going to do it." Henry insisted.
"There's no getting out of it Regina." Mary-Margaret said.
"Nope." Robin added in. "We are all helping you. Whether you like it or not."
Regina looked up at Robin and she couldn't help but smile at him. She had to admit the thought of Robin looking after her did sound nice and she did still feel drained and tired. "What about my mother and Zelena?" Regina asked as they suddenly popped back into her mind.
"We have spoken to Gold. We are going to come up with a plan. Don't worry Regina they aren't going to take your baby." Emma replied.
"Yea no one is going to take my little brother or sister." Henry said. Regina smiled at him. She really did love her son.
Zelena and Cora were now back at their little hose that was hidden deep in the woods. Zelena was not happy. She couldn't believe what had happened. "A little baby that isn't even born yet managed to get the better of me." Zelena raged.
Cora just couldn't wipe the evil smile from her face. It had just proved to her how powerful the baby was. Everything from the prophecy was true. She knew now that they would have to be careful. They would keep a close eye on Regina from a distance. They had made their presence known. When they were to act on their plan everyone was to find out.
