Emma POV

After that dream, I decided I needed some fresh air. I told my mother that would be back shortly. I could tell she panicked a little, but I reassured her I was coming back. I gave her my number so that seemed to calm her down a little.

It was three in the morning and the last I heard from the doctors is that they were keeping Regina comfortable, but she s was still unconscious. I begged my mother to let me sneak in to see her, but it was impossible as there was doctors and nurses around her constantly.

I was sat outside the hospital looking up at the stars. I kept thinking about the dream I had. You may call me crazy, but I knew it was Bella that came to see me, where she came from or how it happened, will forever be a mystery to me. But to smell her perfume to feel her touch, to feel her embrace and to taste her lips was all too real for me to think otherwise. When I had woken up from the dream, I still felt her hands on my face. I missed her every day and I will miss her every day for the rest of my life. Then it suddenly dawned on me that I finally felt free, I finally believed that it wasn't my fault, it was overwhelming to feel what I was feeling in this moment I couldn't help but cry. I had lost one of the most beautiful ladies in my life that night, but I felt truly honoured that I had been involved and part of her life.

I heard fast footsteps approaching me, looking up I seen Ruby running towards me. she looked like she stepped out of the 90s she had some flare type jeans on with a vest and bomber jack on with some sort of flat cap on her head, I couldn't help but smile at her thinking she likes to change her style more than her knickers. Just before she got to me her flares got stuck under her shoe, she went flying forward like damn Supergirl landing at my feet. For some reason I couldn't even ask if she was OK, I had literally stopped breathing for laughing so much.

"ooouch, fuck my arm" I had my hand to my mouth trying my hardest not to laugh "stop laughing Emma it's not funny, how fucking embarrassing was that?" She practically screeched in horror. It wasn't really a question, but it was a statement, let's face it I would have ran off embarrassed

"come on, you have fallen in the right place I guess" pointing at the emergency entrance

"har har you little fucker" she wrapped her good arm around me "are you ok chicken" she whispered

I nodded and held her tightly "I am, let's get you inside, and thank you for making me laugh"

She pulled away and bowed her head "ooft shouldn't have done that I feel a little dizzy" I couldn't help but giggle at her and got her inside.

After being over dramatic and possibly pissing off the staff, she finally got taken in for an x-ray only to find out her arm wasn't broken.

We went back to the waiting room after they strapped her arm in a sling. I messaged my mother to let her know we were coming back. When she walked in, I introduced Ruby to her and to my surprise they got on like a house on fire.

We sat and talked for a couple more hours, I was getting more impatient as time went on. I think I drank about 4 coffees in 2 hours which did not help my nerves. Every time the door opened, I wished for it to be the doctor with some news. It was killing me inside not seeing her.

Finally, the door opened.

"are you the girl who brought Regina in?"

I stood up quickly "I am, is she OK?"

"she is sedated for now, she is going to be OK, but Unfortunately I cannot go into much into detail as you are not a relative"

"she is her fiancé Dr Robins" my mom spoke up.

Without breaking eye contact "I am, yes, I am her fiancé, please let me go and see her" I heard Ruby shuffle beside me, she was terrible at lying so I knew she was trying to avoid the doctor's eyes

"OK, give me some time and I will make sure she is up for visitors" she sighed and walked out of the room.

"I can't believe you said that mom" I looked in her eyes

"well I will do anything for you, and judging by the way you spoke about her earlier, I wouldn't be surprised that she would be your fiancé on day "

I blushed at her and gave her a hug "thanks mom"

I sat back down, feeling excited that I was going to see my girl

I was finally able to go and see Regina, I was nervous as hell. I was scared to see her, I was told she would be ok but fundamentally I was worried that she would blame me. I mean she would never have been in that situation if it wasn't for me. I introduced Killian to her for crying out loud. He nearly took something from her, we were lucky I got there in time. But again, it shouldn't have happened to begin with.

Ruby and my mom waiting in the room to give me some time with her. I walked towards her room, my hand was sweating and I was shaking with nerves. As I approached the room Dr Robins came out.

"Is everything ok, am I still allowed to go in"

"She is starting to wake up, so please try not to overwhelm her. She may have some difficulty speaking due to the injury on her throat" I shuddered thinking about her pain, Dr Robins must have noticed as she put her hand on my shoulder "it's OK, she is ok. She may seem a little out of it due to the drugs in her system, she won't feel too much pain now"

I nodded and thanked her. I pushed the door open with my eyes glued to the floor I walked in and shut the door behind me. I was scared to look at her. I turned around and lifted my head. My heart broke. She was lying down with an oxygen mask on her face. She has a drip in her arm and a few machines were beeping around her. Her eyes were closed so I'm guessing she fell back to sleep.

I slowly made my way over to her side. I pulled a chair close to her, trying my hardest not to make a sound to startle her. I held her soft hand in mine.

"I'm so sorry Regina" I whispered and kissed her hand. I felt her fingers squeeze my hand. I looked up to see her eyes fluttering open. I stood up so she could see me without trying to move her head. I looked into her beautiful eyes and a tear fell from them. I wiped her tear away and kissed her forehead. The corner of her mouth turned up into a smile and I swear it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

She made a small noise from her throat, I knew she was trying to speak

"Shh baby, don't try and speak, just rest your voice for now" she nodded so slowly. I breathed a sigh a relief.

"My god Regina, I don't know what I would do without you, I'm so sorry this has happened I hope you can forgive me" she just stared into my eyes squeezing my hand, I'm presuming to let me know she was listening.

"Ruby is here, she made quite the entrance, she fell ass over tit as she was running towards me outside, she sends her love along with a boob squeeze" I felt her giggle but also seen her face scrunch up in pain

"Sorry baby sorry, I don't mean to make you laugh in pain" squeezing my hand again. I didn't know if to mention Killian or not but the doctor said to try not to overwhelm her, so I decided it was best I didn't.

"Oh just in case you're blindsided later, my mom told the doctor I was your fiancé so I could see you" I giggled to myself and realised what I had actually said "I mean not seriously of course, not that I'm saying I wouldn't want to be your fiancé, I mean if you do I do, wow I mean ok" I was blubbering out in a panic, I looked back up to her to see her smiling. I relaxed after seeing her smile

"You know I love you, you're my queen and I would love to marry you one day" I kissed her hand again "no pressure, I need to ask you right anyway right" I said with a wink.

Her eyes started closing again and I knew she was falling back to sleep. "Get some rest darling, I'll be here when you wake up. I love you"

I sat with her for another few hours whilst she slept, I could see the sun coming up realising we had been here all night. A nurse walked in to do some checks, so I went out to see Ruby and my Mom.

Ruby was passed out lying across four chairs in the waiting room. I sat next to her and lifted her head on my leg. I sat there for a while stroking her hair until my mom walked in with two police officers.

"Hey poppet, the police are here to speak to you, are you up for it?"

I nodded and they sat down with me

"Is she OK" pointing to Ruby

"Yeah, she is OK, she will sleep through anything. Anyway, how can I help you"

"We just wanted to come and take your statement, I understand we can't see Regina yet but to be honest she was more help to this investigation than I think we all first realized"

"What do you mean" I said confused

"Well as you know we found her phone in the hotel room, there was a recording on it and when we arrived it was still getting recorded. Our team at the station have listened to it and it looks like Regina pressed record on her phone whilst Killian Jones was with her" I looked at my mom and she had the same expression on my face

"I don't understand, what does this mean"

"It means that Killian will be locked up for an extremely long time, not only did we get a confession out of him but also the whole attempted rape was recorded also" I cringed hearing those words, I don't think I'll ever get over this.

"What confession" I was beyond thrilled he was getting locked up, but I still didn't understand the confession.

"That's why we are here, can you remember your accident in 2007?" The officer asked me

"Truthfully that's the one thing I can't remember, I know I fell from a bridge and ended up losing my memory" the wheels started turning in my head "wait, did he have something to do with it"

"Yes, he confessed that he pushed you in so many words, he was with you that night. The recording tells the full story. He also confessed to manipulating your memories, being a Doctor, he knew what he was doing. Also, his house was raided this morning and it seems he had quite the obsession with you, you are extremely lucky to be alive"

I sat there in disbelief. My mom broke down in tears and ran to my side. I felt Ruby's arm go around my waist, I wasn't aware she woke up.

"I'm sorry, but if it wasn't for your fiancé, he would have possibly gotten away with it"

Oh my god I thought to myself, how could I have been so naive.

We ended up talking to the police officers for another hour, they took my statement and I pressed charges against Killian. There was no way he would ever hurt me again or anyone else for that matter. He kept so many people away from me, I was just so grateful it was over and so grateful Regina recorded it all.

It was ten in the morning when I was allowed back in Regina's room.

As before, I sat down next to her and held her hand, she opened her eyes and a small raspy voice escaped her throat

"Hi"

"Hi my queen" I smiled at her and a small tear escaped my eye

"So.." she said "you're speaking to your mom"

I laughed "that's the first thing you wanted to say" she laughed along with me and nodded. It was still a little difficult for her to talk.

We sat and made small talk for a few more hours. Ruby came in and the first thing she did was go to squeeze her boob, I nearly jumped across the bed and hit her.

"I'm sorry" she said running around the room from me laughing. Just then my mom walked in and everything froze as if we were kids getting told off.

Regina's POV

A lady walked in and looked towards Emma.

"Hi Regina, I'm Mary, Emma's Mom" I looked at Emma and smiled

"Nice to finally meet you Mary" I smiled at her

"Oh call me mom if you like, I mean I'll be your mom one day right?"

"MOM" I laughed at Emma's outburst

"Oh, shut up poppet, you know it's true" I don't think I've ever seen Emma go so red it was adorable, and poppet, I'll have to use that nickname one day

"REGINA" I heard someone shout, my mom ran into the room and literally flung herself over me in tears, she was sobbing so hard. "I'm so so so sorry, please forgive me, I never want to lose my daughter"

"It's ok mom, I forgive you. I understand why you were so protective. But I love Emma and she is a part of my life again and always will be" my mom stood up and walked over to Emma, she looked so scared that her mom stood next her in a very protective way.

"Emma" is all she said until she pulled her into her arms "thank you"

"Em... yeah, no worries Cora" Emma could see my face over my Mom's shoulder. She had a huge grin on her face. It made my heart melt.

"Cora? Its lovely to meet you" and that was it, our moms were inseparable.

After catching up with my mother for a while I started to get tired again and my throat needed a rest from talking. Everyone left apart from my girl of course

"Hi" she said after everyone left

"Hi baby" I motioned her to come back to me which she happily obliged

As much pain as I was in, I was so happy to be alive and even more happy that Emma was by my side. She told me about everything that happened when she came back to the hotel and if it wasn't for her, I would have been raped. I was forever in her debt.

"I will never be able to thank you enough Emma" I said to her

"You don't ever have to thank me baby, you got all the evidence we need to lock him up, I can't believe you managed to sneak that recording. If it wasn't for you, he would be free and I would always have to look over my shoulder, so thank you, god I love you"

I knew it would take a while to get over this trauma, but I knew everything would be ok as long as myself and Emma had each other.

"So, when can we go home" she asked me

"Whenever, we have the rest of our lives together" she learnt over me and kissed my lips, again all the pain vanished, and it was only us in this moment.

She pulled away "damn rights we do my queen. I love you so much"

I pecked her lips "I love you too"
