Ok so I messed up on this the first time I posted it and I didn't notice, thank you to the people who told me about it or I wouldn't have caught it.

Regina was lying on her chair on her patio; Henry curled into his mothers arms.

"When is she coming back mama?" Henry asked.

"I don't know baby," Regina whispered kissing her son and held him close, a tear slipping down her cheek and into Henry's hair.

"She's going to be back, she has to. She promised to be here for my birthday," henry said. "She missed Halloween, but she'll make it for my birthday." Henry said full of hope. Regina didn't say anything and just held on to henry tighter as he fell asleep. After a few minutes of holding her son Regina took henry to his room and tucked him in. She went to her study and poured herself a glass on cider. Regina teared up and played with the necklace as she looked at a picture of Emma.

"Where are you Emma?" Regina whispered out loud, hoping Emma would come an answer any moment. Regina cried when no answer came, drowning herself in cider and tears.

Red got up from the guest room, she couldn't go back to her own home, and she just needed time so she was staying with Regina, along with Callie who was in the other guest bedroom. Red went down stairs and wrapped her arms around Regina.

"We can't lose hope," Red whispered. Regina cried harder and buried her head in Reds neck.

"I miss her so much," Regina cried. Red teared up as Callie came in with red eyes and joined te hug.

"We all miss her," Red whispered trying not to cry.

Regina finally calmed down, "Who wants a drink?" Regina asked, her voice scratchy from all the crying, Red and Callie nodded.

"I'll take one," Callie said.

"Got anything really strong?" Red asked, and just then the door bell rung through the house. Regina and practically ran to the door, hoping it was someone saying that Emma was found or that it was Emma herself. Regina yanked the door open and gasped.

"Mother," Regina breathed out.

"Hello dear, I'm sorry about your lose," Cora said stepping in and hanging her coat. Callie gapped and grabbed Reds arm.

"Don't go in there," Callie whispered practically terrified.

"Why not?" Red asked.

"No need to whisper dear, I can hear just fine, plus I brought tequila. It helps with the pain," Cora said holding it out. Red walked in and took the bottle from her slowly. "It's not going to bite you dear," Cora said.

"I'm not worried about the bottle," Red said, "How's your nose?" Red asked with a smirk. Coras eyebrow twitched but she just smiled.

"I truly am sorry for all your loses," Cora said.

"They're not gone," Callie said.

"Mother what are you doing here?" Regina asked.

"I came to check on you, I know we've had a rough start and I haven't been a very good mother but I want to try," Cora said.

"Fine," Regina said, she was too exhausted to try at the moment.

"Regina you know that is a bad Idea," Callie said.

"I know, but I don't feel like fighting her about it," Regina said going to her study. Callie shook her head knowing this was bad but went with her with red following. Cora smiled widely as she followed; this couldn't go better Cora thought.


Emma looked around; the trees and sky were fading in and out.

"Belle, I don't feel so good," Emma said feeling light headed and woozy. Emma turned her head and started throwing up; Belle grabbed Emmas hair so throw up didn't get in her hair. Emma mumbled a thank you before passing out a few minutes later.

"What's wrong?" Arizona asked coming over.

"I…I don't know," Belle said laying Emma down on her back, turning her head in case she threw up again. Belle lifted Emmas shirt.

"There's nothing here," Belle said then flipped her over to see tons of bruises and a deep cut that was now infected.

"Damn it, she has internal bleeding and an infection," Belle said getting the first aid kit to clean the wound as best she could.

"If we don't get her to a hospital soon, she is going to die," Arizona said.

"I know Doctor Robbins, I know," Belle said. 'don't you dare die on me Emma, you promised to keep me safe and you promised Henry you would be there for his birthday and you promised Regina you would be there for her," Belle cried. "Please don't die," Belle muttered over and over again.

Emma gasped as she sat up in her hospital bed, her heart monitor was out of control.

"Emma, you need to calm down, breath with me," Belle said, Emma teared up and nodded, trying to calm down.


"Henry, get ready for school," Regina yelled. Henry groaned and got up ready like his mom told him. Regina looked at the mirror, reaching up and touching her necklace. Regina teared up, picturing Emma wrapping her arms around her.

"I miss her too," Henry said going to his mom and hugging her. Regina cried and held her son.

"I just can't believe she's gone," Regina whispered.

"Oh dear, not this again," Cora whispered, it had been a week since she told them Emma was dead, she expected her to get over it by now. So Cora put on her fake caring mask and went in to provide her daughter comfort.

After a few minutes they calmed down, "I'm ok now mother," Regina said getting out of her embrace and fixing her makeup.

"Alright, well I'm going to run into town, I'll be back shortly," Cora said as she walked out.

Emma waited in her yellow slug bug, she wasn't comfortable going on a plane yet so she looked around at car dealerships and rental cars. But then she found her old car for sale on a lot near the hospital she was in, she laughed thinking it was ironic to find something that gave her painful memories when she was in pain herself. As soon as Cora left Emma got out of the car slowly, she had a large gash on her back and side but she ignored the pain, Focusing on getting to the woman she was in love with and the kid that she loved. Emma stood at the door knocked on the Mills manor nervously, biting her lip as the door opened slowly.

Regina gasped, "Emma?"

"Hey," Emma said Regina teared up, covering up her mouth to stifle a sob.

Ok, so I'm skipping a few days where they are all in the hospital and how they got back because I'm not even sure how I want that done. Again, thank you so much to those that pointed out my mistake or i would have never caught it. Remember reviews are love so please review. I enjoy reading them and they make me smile.
