It nearly midnight, August had been calling Cruella since she had left over three hours ago. August had eventually tired himself out from calling, but only getting her voice mail. August jolted up when he felt his phone buzzing in his hand. His heart started racing when he saw it was Cruella. "Hello?! Cruella?!" He could hear tears over the phone, his heart dropped. "August?" It was Maleficent's voice. "August, there's been an accident." August felt a lump in his throat, "Gold and I tried to stop her. She wouldn't listen." "Where are you," August asked, panic in his voice." "We are in the emergency room. We just got here.." August hung up before she could get another word out. He quickly grabbed his leather jacket and helmet, racing out the inn. After a twenty minute ride to the hospital, August hopped off the bike before racing into the emergency department. "August!" Maleficent cried out. August sprinted towards her, "Where is she?!" Maleficent sighed, "She in the operating room. She needed emergency surgery. They won't tell us why." August ran his hands through his hair, "What happened?" "She came to the cabin, told me everything that happened at the inn. Gold ran his mouth to her, saying this is the issues when a villain has a child. She got upset and stated that she was going back to New York. I don't know how the accident happened, but her panther is completely totaled." August felt tears running down his cheeks, he tried to keep from sobbing, but her failed. "Come on, Isaac and Gold are in the waiting room.."
After many hours of waiting, August finally saw Dr. Whale walk out from behind the double doors that lead to the Emergency room. "August? Maleficent?" Both August and Maleficent jumped from the seats, "Right here," said Maleficent. "She's our of the operating room. We will be putting her into ICU for the night." "What happened to her?" Maleficent asked. The doctor hung his head down a little, sighing, "May I speak to August please? Alone?" August's heart felt as if it had dropped as he followed August down the hall. "What do you think is happening?" Isaac asked hesitantly. Maleficent shrugged, " I don't know. I beginning to worry." Maleficent turned back to observe the doctor and August. The moment she saw August drop down to his knees, burying his face into his hands, Maleficent turned to Isaac, sobbing into his shoulder. A few more hours passed, had been sent back to Cruella's room. Emma and Killian both come racing through the waiting room to find Maleficent and Isaac in there. "Emma…" Maleficent said softly. "What happened?! Is she okay?!" Isaac glanced at Maleficent before looking back down at his folded hands. Maleficent stood up sighing, " There was a car accident…" "Obviously!" Emma interrupted. "Emma, shut up and let her talk," Isaac snapped. "Continue…" Killian said, glaring towards the man. "She just got back into her room. She in ICU. But…" Maleficent sighed, "She lost the baby.." she choked out. Emma's eyes grew wide, she clung to August before as if she were losing her balance. " She isn't awake yet. It appears she is in a coma as well, " said Isaac. Killian pulled Emma in closer to him as she buried her face into his chest. "Might as well go back home, they won't let us see her until she wakes up.."
After a quiet drive back home, Emma and Killian walked hand in hand up the stairs to the apartment, where they were greeted by Henry, Zelena, the Charmings, and Regina. "What is going on? What happened in front of the diner?" Snow asked. Killian sat down on the sofa with Emma, who was still trembling. "What is going on…?" Zelena asked, kneeling down beside Emma. "It's Cruella…there was a car accident." Snow gasped, her hands covering her mouth. Regina's eyes widened, "Is she alright?!" Emma shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. "August wasn't with her, was he?" David asked. "No, mate. It was only Cruella." Zelena shook her head, "Is she going to be alright?" "According to Maleficent, it doesn't look too good. She has some cracked ribs, her femur is broke, and a mild concussion. She's in a coma." Regina sighed, sitting down beside Henry, rubbing his back soothingly. "She lost the baby.." Emma choked out. "It's my fault. If I hadn't had went to the inn, she wouldn't be in the state she's in.." Snow gasped once more. "She was pregnant?! I just saw her this morning!" Zelena cried out. "She was twelve weeks, according to Isaac." Said Killian as he stroked Emma's hair. "Don't blame yourself, Emma. You know she drives like a bat out of hell," said Regina. "Regina!" Cried out Zelena. "The poor girl is in enough pain! Have some respect!" "I just talked to her…a few hours ago.." Henry choked out. "She said she didn't even get to see her little girl she already has, due to the divorce…" Emma buried her face into Killian's chest, sobbing. "When can we visit her?" Henry asked "Lad, we don't know. She isn't even awake." Henry sighed, resting his head onto Regina's shoulder as tears fell from his cheeks. "How's August?" Zelena asked. Killian shook his head, "I don't know. He was already in the room with her. Maleficent refuses to leave the waiting room until she gets any updates." At that moment, Regina reached into her pocket, pulling out her phone after feeling it buzz. "It's Maleficent now…" Before answering, Regina stood up to walk outside the apartment, closing the door behind her. "I am going to bed.." Henry said. David helped Henry up from the couch, leading him up the stairs to his bedroom. "This is just awful, losing her child in a divorce..now losing her child after a serious accident.." said Snow softly. After a few minutes of silence, Regina stepped back in, Robin also joining her. "Good evening.." he said quietly. "What did Mal say?" Zelena asked eagerly. "It turned for the worst. Cruella had some internal bleeding. She's back in the operating room." Zelena sighed, resting her head on Emma's knee. " It's nearly six in the morning…might as well stay up to find out anymore updates," said Snow. "I'll make some coffee," said Regina, making her way into the kitchen. "Love, would you like to get some sleep?" Killian whispered to Emma. Emma didn't respond, she had wore herself out crying. "Looks like she's already out like a light. Killian stood up, giving a soft groan as he lifted the blonde up in a bridal position, carrying her back into their room.
