Thank you for waiting so patiently for me to update my story. I appreciate all of the kind reviews and reading all of your thoughts about what might happen and some of you are close to figuring out at least what I plan on doing. I like the way y'all think! haha! Any way thank you for reading and reviewing :)

Regina and Robin gasped when they walked into Emma's room and found that all of her beautiful hair was shaved off and a white bandage was wrapped around her head securely. Her skin was ghostly pale and covered with purple bruises; and her little chest was slowly moving up and down.

Regina took a deep shallow breath as she walked over to her baby girl and bent down to place a gentle kiss to Emma's forehead; she was surprised that she heard a small whimper to come from her Emma's dry and chapped lips. The doctor had said that she was in a coma and might not wake up due to brain damage.

"Emma? Baby can you hear me? Mommy and daddy are here." She said softly as she held onto all of the hope that she could muster. Her husband wrapped his strong arms around her.

Emma could hear the sound of beeping and a voice that sounded so much like her mommy's voice. Pain was all she felt; but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't say anything. She cried but no tears came she was only surrounded by the darkness.

Regina turned around and embraced her husband as she sobbed into his chest. "She has to be okay Robin; I can't lose another baby." She said through her tears as she felt Robin hold her tighter.

"She's going to pull through like she always has. We have to be strong for her especially when she wakes up." He said as he dried his own tears on a kleenex and wiped his wife's tears with his thumb and smiled weakly at her before kissing her on the forehead. "I'm going to go bring in the boys they are worried about their sister." He said as hugged her a little tighter knowing how scared they both were.

Henry felt his magic tingling in his body when he walked into the hospital room and he knew that he could completely heal his sister; but he would have to do it slowly so that no one would suspect anything. He had made a promise to his dad in the Enchanted Forest that he would protect his sister and always have hope.

He walked over to his baby sister and sat down in the chair right next to her bed; he looked at his mom who was carrying his distraught baby brother in her arms, "can I have some time with her alone?" He asked softly.

He watched as his parents exchanged glances before they both agreed and gave him a light squeeze to the shoulder. "We will be right outside if you need anything."

Henry closed his eyes as he placed his hands on Emma's head and began placing good and fun memories; he could see light penetrating darkness and he knew that it was working. He moved his hands to her ribs and her arms and imagined her bones repairing themselves. He stopped when he felt his own strength weakening and he reminded himself that he would heal her more throughout the week.

"I love you Emma. I will always be here for you and I will always protect you. Emma, can you hear me?" He asked as he held onto her hand and spoke comforting words to her.

Emma felt a knew kind of strength going through her body and the pain was't so bad; light surrounded her and almost every fear went away and she just wanted her family to be with her.

With all the strength she could muster she opened her eyes and squinted at the pain she felt in her head at the bright lights and all of the strange noises in the room. She could hear a voice that sounded like her brothers and so she tried to speak but only a whisper left her lips, "re-re" She whispered as she tried to blink the blurriness away.

As time went on she was able to see his face clearly and she felt happy and relieved, "r-r-r-reeee r-r-r-reee!" She muttered in a raspy voice.

Henry was both relieved and happy to see that Emma was awake and not only that but she was talking to him; he gently hugged her and cried a little when she said his name; "Emma, you're okay. I'm so happy." He said as he smiled at his sister who was regaining some of her color back to her skin.

Regina just about cried when she walked in and found Henry and Emma talking as if nothing had happened; she pinched her arm only to realize that she wasn't dreaming. Her baby was awake and talking. "Emma, oh baby you're okay. Mommy is right here. Are you hurting baby?" She said as she wrapped her arms around her baby and kissed her gently on the forehead and her flushed cheeks.

"Mommy, Emma hurt. Mommy stay?" Emma whimpered as she held onto Regina's hand as she watched her mommy cry. "No cry mommy." She whispered as she tried to reach towards her mom's face and wipe the tears away but she cringed in pain.

Regina nodded her head, "I'm not going anywhere baby; mommy, daddy, re-re and ro-ro all love you very much." She said through her tears and began to rub Emma's hand with the pad of her thumb the way she usually did when she lulled Emma to sleep at night.

Within minutes Emma and Henry had both fallen asleep and Regina laid her head down on the bed her hand still clutching Emma's as she fell into a deep sleep.

Robin walked in with his son Roland as he saw that his wife was sleeping next to his daughter and oldest son, he placed his hand gently on his wife's back. He still couldn't believe that he had literally watched his baby fall from their roof; he couldn't imagine how scared she was to see her worst nightmare standing in her room. He felt anger until he heard a small fragile little voice.

"Daddy." Emma whimpered as she opened her eyes. Everything hurt and she felt cold and hot at the same time as she shivered under the light white blanket.

Robin looked down and saw that his daughter was awake and talking, "oh Emma, it's okay daddy is here and so is ro-ro. Does Emma hurt?" He asked her as he leant down and placed a kiss to her forehead; and that's when he felt it. She was boiling hot with a fever.

Roland held his sisters hand and also felt how hot she felt and he knew that she was in pain. He wanted to heal her but his brother had warned him not to try because he was still learning and all magic had a price. He looked in his backpack as he pulled out Emma's pink elephant and gave it to her.

"Ella!" She squealed as she hugged her elephant causing Regina to wake up.

Regina woke up feeling anxious as she remembered where she was. She smiled when she saw her husband and youngest son talking to Emma but she could tell that something was wrong. It was just mother's instinct.

A nurse with long beautiful blonde hair walked in to take vitals and see why Robin had sounded so worried when he had called for some assistance, "what seems to be the problem?" She asked sweetly as she looked at the heart monitor and charts before taking Emma's temperature and blood pressure.

Robin gave his wife a worried look as he spoke to the nurse, "she's burning up with fever and she's in a lot of pain." He said as he watched Emma drop her elephant on the floor; and before anyone knew what was going on, Emma was was throwing up all over crying as she heaved.

Regina was instantly by her baby's side as she grabbed the small trashcan and placed it under Emma's mouth; she also could feel how hot her daughter was and she hated that her child had gone through so much trauma. Finally the vomiting stopped and Emma laid back down completely exhausted and weak. "It's okay Emma."

The nurse quickly took the girl's vitals and nodded her head with understanding when she saw the 104.4 Fahrenheit on the thermometer. "She has a high fever in which we will monitor and we will run some tests to make sure that there is no infection; also we will give her some medicine for the pain and for the fever." She said as she called in a few other nurses to help her get Emma into a nice clean bed with brand new sheets.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" She asked as she saw that all looked well for the circumstances.

Henry woke up and groaned in exhaustion and pain. "Emma?" He groaned as his whole body ached as if he were feeling what his sister was feeling. "It could be the magic connecting Emma's pain to his magic since he tried healing her recently. Or this was the price that he had to pay for using magic." He thought to himself as he shivered.

"Henry, you're burning up!" Regina said surprised as she touched his forehead and looked at the nurse worriedly searching for any kind of explanation.

The nurse was shocked to find that the boy had the exact temperature as his sister. "I'm going to go get Dr. Whale; he'll wan't to see this." She said before she scurried off to get the doctor.

Robin called Ruby to see if Roland could stay over her house for the night until they figured out what was going on, "Ruby, thanks for looking after my boy for the night. I know it's not part of your job; but you're more like family to us and I trust you with my family." He said into the phone.

Ruby smiled warmly into the phone as she was honestly concerned and protective of all the children, "of course Robin. Really it's not a big deal to watch Roland. You need to be there for your two sick children and figure out what's going on. You're the best sergeant I know so I know you will get to the bottom of this." She said hoping that it would comfort him.

Robin thanked her and hung up.

Roland looked up at his dad in the waiting room, "am I going to auntie Red's house tonight?" He asked in his shy sleepy voice as he rubbed at his swollen red eyes. It was evident that he had been crying and worried.

Robin picked up his son and hugged him tightly as he rubbed Roland's back gently, "yes and granny can't wait to spend time with you. Auntie Red is going to pick you up and take you to get some clothes from home and then you are going to sleep and her house. Henry and Emma are very sick and we don't want you to get sick too." He said as he looked in his son's eyes and saw fear.

"Daddy, is the mean man going to come back again? Is he going to take us away too?" Roland asked as he surveyed the room nervously.

"Hey, shhh it's okay. I don't know where the mean man is but daddy and his team are going to find him and he won't be able to hurt anyone anymore. Auntie Red and granny will keep you safe. Do you trust daddy?" He asked as he tried to reassure his boy.

Roland nodded his head and hugged his daddy tightly and hoped that his daddy would find the mean scary man before the man came back looking for Emma and the book.

Well here you go I hoped you liked this chapter. What are your thoughts about this chapter? What do you think Roland knows about the book and what is it's significance in this story? Will Mr. Allen make an appearance again even with everyone looking for him? Why does he want Emma so bad and why does he also want the book? Ah so many questions that I'm leaving you with. I will try to update and as usual thank you for reading and reviewing.
