"How far away are we now?" Henry asked for what to Emma felt like the hundredth time that day.

"Still one more hour." Emma responded patiently.

"Can't you drive any faster?" Henry urged.

"Not unless you want us to get arrested."

Henry slumped into his seat.

"Henry, I know it's hard, but try not to worry. Like I said before your mom's in good hands. She'll be okay."

"But what if she's not? How can you know?"

Emma sighed. "You know I can't know for sure, but... Mary Margaret said there is a good chance she will make a full recovery. We have to believe that."

When Henry didn't respond, Emma cast a quick glance at him. He was staring glumly out of the window and remained silent for the next while. A few times that day he had tried to phone Mary Margaret, but Emma said that if there was any news, the schoolteacher had promised to phone them as soon as she could.

After a few minutes of more silence Emma allowed herself another side peak at Henry.

"Hey," she said lightly, "I know you're upset, but can you please not take it out on my car?" She grinned at him.

He appeared to break out of a trance as he looked back at her. "Sorry..." he muttered. "I didn't even notice." He stopped picking at a tear in the seat and lifted his backpack from the floor onto his lap.

"Don't worry about it."

Instead of pulling his book out of the bag like Emma had expected, he just hugged the bag instead, resuming his staring-but-not-seeing out of the window.

"Did she do it on purpose?" Henry asked quietly.

"What?"

"My mom. Did she swallow the pills on purpose?"

"I... I don't know Henry."

"I think she did."

"You do?"

Henry nodded. "How does someone swallow that many pills by accident? She must have known what she was doing. Unless someone else forced her to, which they didn't right?"

Emma tilted her head, she should have known Henry would know the truth. He wasn't stupid. "No I don't think so."

"So she must have done it on purpose. Why would she do that?"

"I don't know Henry..."

"Do you think... do you think it was because of me?"

Emma shot a quick, heartbroken glance at him. He looked distraught. Another soft "I don't know..." was all she could manage.

"It's my fault, I know it is."

"Henry don't say that, of course it's not."

"If I hadn't of left, this never would have happened. She wouldn't be in the hospital."

"Don't think like that, this wasn't your fault okay?"

Henry sniffed.

"Henry this was not your fault."

He didn't respond.

"Okay?"

The boy nodded but turned his head towards the window in attempt to hide his face from her view.

Emma gripped the steering wheel hard and glared at the back of the car in front of her. She couldn't help but feel angry at Regina for toying with Henry's feelings this way.

Storybrooke General Hospital:

"Should you go in alone? Maybe we shouldn't crowd her right now." David said in a low voice. He and Mary Margaret were in the hallway outside Regina's room.

"It might be better if you went in, I don't think Regina's ever liked me very much. You're kind of friends with her aren't you?"

"A little, but mostly because of Kathryn. I mean we've talked a few times but I wouldn't say we are extremely close. Why don't we just both go in?"

"That might be best."

David motioned for her to go first so she led the way.

"It's too bad Henry and Emma aren't here yet," Mary Margaret sighed.

Regina looked up as the pair entered and it was obvious that she was less than pleased to see them. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously as they approached.

"Hey Regina, how are you feeling?" Mary Margaret ignored the look the mayor was giving her and took a seat.

"What are you two still doing here? Don't you have jobs to get to?" Her tone had its usual sharpness but the weariness was evident in her eyes.

"Well I have a substitute covering my class for me..."

"And I was able to get the morning off." David finished.

"Listen," Regina took in a deep breath, "while I appreciate your... saving me, I don't wish to be babysat. I don't require either of you to stay with me so why don't you just go do... whatever it is you do in your free time."

"Regina we aren't here because we think we have to be, we just want to be sure that you're okay." David said.

Regina shook her head slightly, thinking that she'd never be 'okay'. "I'm fine. And I think I'd just like to go home now, this has all been humiliating enough."

Mary Margaret and David exchanged a glance as Regina made to get out of the bed, fumbling with the wire from the heart rate monitor as it got caught in one of the bed sheets.

"Umm... Regina you can't leave yet." Mary Margaret stood up to try to stop the other brunette from getting up. "Doctor Whale hasn't discharged you yet."

Regina looked down in surprise as she felt Mary Margaret's hands on her shoulders.

"I'm sorry Regina, but he said he wants to keep you overnight for observation."

"Observation?" Regina repeated.

Mary Margaret nodded. When she saw the silent outrage in the other woman's eyes she raised her hands as if in surrender. When she was sure Regina wouldn't try to make a run for it she went back to her seat.

"This is preposterous, I'm fine."

"Talk to Doctor Whale about it, it's not up to us." David said reasonably.

Regina folded her arms, and when she wasn't looking, Mary Margaret glanced at David with a look that clearly said, 'Regina is back to normal.'

After a moment of somewhat awkward silence Mary Margaret spoke up. "Henry will be here soon."

Regina looked up. "What?"

"Yeah, they left as soon as they could. Henry really wants to see you."

"He does?" Regina asked incredulously.

"Yes, in fact that's why he's been calling you. He wants to come home." Mary Margaret said kindly.

Regina's eyes softened as she looked back and forth from David to Mary Margaret, trying to read their expressions. "Are you sure?"

Mary Margaret smiled, nodding her head.

"Do you know why?"

"I think he misses you."

Regina was moved. "Really?" She breathed.

Mary Margaret nodded again.

"Apparently he wanted to leave last night." David said.

Regina frowned and David studied her. If only she had gotten that call last night, there was a good chance she wouldn't have ended up in the hospital this morning.

Even though she was staring at her clasped hands in her lap, Regina could feel the other two watching her. She knew they had noticed the tears that had just formed in her eyes but she didn't care. They had seen enough this morning, what difference did it make at this point?

"You really miss him don't you?" David asked gently.

Regina couldn't speak, she covered her mouth with her hand as she began to weep.

Mary Margaret went to sit beside her, and with some hesitation she placed a comforting arm around Regina. She was slightly surprised when the mayor did not object.
