It felt like an eternity had passed before the doctors came to say Tilly was stable enough to be moved into her own room.

Weaver had slipped away an hour or so earlier with what was to Regina and Zelena at least an all too familiar impish smile on his lips when he said he was going back to the station to take care of the detainees once they'd all had time to digest that unlike Rogers earlier information Tilly had been shot three times the last two having been rapidly fired so that is hadn't been until they'd opened her for surgery that they had found the remains of the pancaked third bullet.

"Pardon my language here but that girl is one hell of a God Damned survivor." Her attending doctor had praised making both Margot and Roger's insides twist when on top of everything else he'd admitted that during the operation Tilly had flatlined but somehow just as suddenly as her heart had stopped it had started right back up again with an even stronger beat than anyone the surgent had ever seen in her condition. "It was almost like she shocked herself back to life or something." He mused in awe.

"She's a special one." Rogers agreed wondering why the comment about Tilly being a survivor struck such a cord with him. "But she'll be alright once she wakes up right?" Margot insisted wondering why if Tilly was out of surgery and being moved to her own room then why where they still huddled up in the waiting room and not on their way to see her. "Medically she'll be fine but there may be some lingering phycological scars she'll have to handle." The doctor answered

As if sensing that her daughter was about to either punch the guy in the jaw for keeping her from seeing her girlfriend any longer or pass out from all the stress of the day Zelena's hand slipped into Margot's keeping her grounded as the mother rounded on the medical man "But can they see her?" she gestured with her free hand toward her daughter and Rogers who had a hold on Margot's other hand.

"Only family are al….." the doctor started to say.

Zelena bit back a growl with difficulty pressed her fingers to the bridge of her nose in inpatients. "He's her father and she and my daughter are more or less engaged. I think that counts as family." The former Wicked Witch replied cutting him off before he could finish that family only talk pointing to Roger then Margot in turn once again as she stood up to her full height without dropping the man's eyes and only letting the smallest of pleased smile grace her lips when her intimidation seemed to be working as the doctor hurriedly scrambled over to the desk to see which room Tilly had been moved into.

Thankfully Rogers had the good since to keep his mouth shut about the title while Margot just blushed and avoided everyone's eyes at her own. "Mom it's still a bit early for that." She whispered sadly talking too low for the doctor to hear her. Zelena shrugged wrapping her arm around her little girl's shoulders "Sshh Monkey." She whispered pressing a kiss against the side of her head.

"Room 1421 on the third floor." The man informed them just as Weaver returned with a rather pleased smile with Regina following close behind having been on the phone with Sabine explaining to the blonde's boss why Tilly wouldn't be into work for the next few weeks and taking calls from both Henry and Jacinda as to why in the world the bar was closed so early. All three vowing to join them at the hospital as soon as possible before they hung up.

She'd also just come back from her latest run to the vending machines in the latest hunt for anything her stubborn niece would be willing to at least try and eat since the trip to the cafeteria had come up a bust other than a small smile at the small cardboard cup of hot chocolate.

"I will warn you." The doctor said when the elevator doors opened "the patient has been put on a ventilator for the time being, but we'll be taking her off of in a day or so depending on how quickly her injuries heal."

"Her name it Tilly not 'the patient'." Margot snapped from her place now leaning reassuringly against her mother's side as they filed into the elevator with herself, Zelena and Rogers on one side and the doctor, Regina and Weaver on the other.

Emotionally drained from the wait, unable to get any sleep since stepping into the hospital and more than a little hungry Margot wanted nothing more than to already be in Tilly's room holding her hand and maybe scold her just a bit for being herself and wanting to protect everyone even if it put herself into harm's way instead.

"Easy lass." The detective soothed leaning over tentatively to take the younger woman's free hand in his own. Rather than argue back Margot slid over against his side wrapping an arm around him in a hug both seemed to need at this point when the elevator finally stopped.

"We can find our own way from here." Regina advised letting the others file out ahead of her as she held the doctor back. "Thanks." She added trying to be polite and earning an understanding smile in return "It's alright I get a lot of that sort of thing." The doctor shrugged "1421." He reminded her before the door slid closed after she'd stepped out.

From the look of things when the former Evil Queen stepped out into the corridor her niece was dragging both Rogers and Zelena along behind her to the end of the hall with fast determined strides and Regina knew without needing to see her face that Robin wasn't looking at the numbers on the rooms to know what way to go.

Yet for all her bravado when Margot finally stopped outside Tilly's room she didn't know whether to break down outside it our kick it in then start to let her tears fall.

In the end, it was Zelena that entered first letting Rogers be the one to guide her daughter into the eerily still room. The only sounds being the steady beeping of the machines and now Margot's shaking breathing as she stumbled on Roger's leading arm toward Tilly's bedside.

The other three stood guard Weaver by the door while Regina and Zelena took up seats on either side of the little window seat sofa everyone including Rogers knew would soon become Margot's bed until Tilly was released.

Rogers pulled one of the softer backed chairs up to the bedside "You can keep holding her hand love, but I don't want you hurting yourself by collapsing." The cop whispered at the first touch of his hand against Margot's shoulder earning a hard watery eyed glare from the bartender as Rogers gently pulled her away from hovering over Tilly's prone form in the bed as the detective guided Margot to sit down before her knees gave out from shaking too much.

Only Weaver, Regina and Zelena seemed to notice that both times Margot's hand had interlocked with Tilly's that the unconscious blonde's heartbeat had picked up to an even faster beat as Margot took the chair on one side while Rogers sat down on Tilly's other side making her heart pick up just a little more while she slept when both insisted on holding her hand before even thinking of calming down their tangled rollercoaster ride of emotions about everything that's happened.
