Ok so let's have a little fun in this chapter before we move on to more serious stuff...
Regina began to stir a few hours later, she could hear someone snoring softly next to her. It was still dark outside, but the moon was shining through the window and she saw her thief sitting in a chair with his head resting on her bed. His hand was holding tightly to hers, he warmed her heart so much.
"Robin." She whispered running her hand through his hair.
"Milady." He yawned raising to kiss her head. "How are you feeling?"
"I have a really sore throat, but other than that I feel ok." She moved over so he could lie next to her.
He climbed in the bed and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her on the top of her head. "I'm so glad you are ok. I was so worried."
"Does Whale know what's wrong with me?"
"Yes you have swollen tonsils. You have no idea how happy I was to know that it wasn't another curse or spell."
"I'm glad too. So when do I get to leave?"
"You have to be here for two days." He held his breath waiting for her protest.
"That should give the medicine time to kick in so I won't infect the kids." She lay her head back down on his chest.
"No fight? Are you sure you're ok?" He smiled.
"I'm sure. I don't want to get the kids sick. I miss them so much. How are they?"
"Well, Henry is in the waiting room still. He refused to leave. The girls and Roland have been subjected to Charming and Snow White."
"Great. She's probably ruined my children with annoying optimism." Regina laughed a very hoarse laugh.
"I'm sure they will be fine with their sister." Robin laughed, the comment earning him a swat to the arm.
"What did they do with Zelena?" Regina asked.
"I have no idea. No one mentioned Zelena."
Regina shot up in bed, "Where is Emma?"
"She's in the waiting room."
"I need to see her right now."
"Ok. I'll go get her."
Robin hurried out of the room and went into the waiting room to find Emma playing a handheld video game with Henry. "Emma, she wants to see you, right now." He shrugged.
"Ok." Emma handed Henry his game back.
Emma cautiously entered the hospital room to find Regina red faced and looking like she was going to explode. "What's up Regina?"
"Where is Zelena?"
"I have no idea."
"She was under a sleeping curse when your parents, the pirate and I went in to the cave. We were going to deal with her once we had you and Henry."
"I didn't see her when we left the cave. We were all so focused on you, no one mentioned to me that she had been there."
"What the hell? Emma we need to find her. Find out if your parents noticed whether or not she was still there."
"There was no one laying in front of the cave. I think I would have remembered stepping over a body."
"Wait, how did you get your heart back in?"
Emma looked down, "Gold put it back."
"You let him? You can't trust him."
"He's changing Regina."
"How can you say that? He's manipulative. Now you owe him something."
"Actually he owes me." Emma didn't mean to speak those words.
"What do you mean?" Regina asked sitting up in the hospital bed.
"Nothing." Emma said a little too quickly.
"Give it up Swan. We both know you inherited the inability to keep a secret."
"I can keep a secret!" Emma defended.
"I'm waiting..."
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This is not my business to tell. I gotta run." Emma turns toward the door and found she could not move her feet.
"So we are back to keeping secrets huh?" Regina rotated her wrist and Emma's body turned toward her.
"Reginnnnaaaa." She was officially whining. "Let me go."
"Stop whining Ms. Swan and just tell me."
"You know, two can play at this game." Emma conjured a cupcake overflowing with frosting.
"You need a snack? Right now?" Regina's arms were now crossed over her chest.
"Not exactly." Emma threw the cupcake at Regina with the frosting side smacking her right on the forehead.
"Whipped cream frosting is my favorite, but you are going to pay for that." Regina conjured a larger cupcake and magicked it acroos the room hitting Emma on her left cheek.
Emma threw a slice of apple pie next while Regina opted to toss a large slice of chocolate cake with really thick, runny frosting. In five minutes, they were both covered in desserts. Just as Regina conjured an entire apple pie and threw it, Emma ducked just as the hospital door opened and the pie hit Dr. Whale in the face. As the pie hit him pieces flew everywhere hitting Snow, Charming and Robin who had been entering behind him.
"What the hell Regina?" Whale yelled wiping pie of his face.
Both women looked at him and laughed. Emma patted his arm as he walked past her, "All men like a little pie." She smirked.
Just as he was about to respond a large clump of frosting fell from the ceiling right on to the top of his head. This caused the room to break out in to laughter again.
"You all will clean this up." Whale turned to look at Regina, "And as for you, you can go home tomorrow morning." He left the room incredibly ticked off and sticky.
"Regina, can you unfreeze my feet now? I need to do a selfie of us for the kids." Emma was able to move her feet now. She took out her phone and sat next to Regina on the bed. Their faces were a mixture of bright colored frosting, chocolate cake, Emma had almost an entire brownie stuck to her shirt. Regina had so many candy sprinkles in her hair it looked like confetti. The picture was perfect so Emma text it to Henry.
"So what happened here?" Snow asked stepping over the crumbled apple pie.
"She started it!" Emma and Regina spoke in unison.
So the next chapter we will find out what happened with Zelena and we will have a Rumple/Regina moment. Emma truly has become her best friend in this story. I love it. I apologize if this chapter didn't make much sense. I have a terrible cold coming on!
