Bump to the head
A asked for a oneshot of Emma and Charming being on patrol and Emma getting hurt in action. Charming takes her to the hospital and Snow meets them there. Her maternal instincts go into full gear. Overprotective Snowing.
It was a routine chase gone wrong. The perp had planned his escape route well, and it involved setting a trap for the police. Emma was slightly ahead of Charming, so she was the one who got caught in it. As soon as Emma stepped on the plank, a tight rope wound around her ankle, yanking her upwards. As she went up, Emma hit her head off of a brick wall and blacked out.
By the time Emma came to again, she was in hospital.
"Ah, welcome back Miss Swan." Doctor Whale said. "How are you feeling?"
"My head is thumping." Emma complained.
"I'm not surprised. You took quite the hit there, Em." Charming said. He took hold of Emma's hand.
"You ok? I was worried about you for a minute there."
"I'm fine. Just sore." Emma assured him. Gingerly, she sat up. "How long was I out?"
"About ten minutes." Charming answered. "I called your mom. She should be here any-"
"Charming, Emma?" Came a frantic voice as the curtain swished back.
"Second." Charming finished as Snow strode into the cubicle and past Whale. She took Emma's face in her hands.
"Does she have a concussion? Is there any lasting damage? Is she going to have to stay overnight? I haven't packed her a bag…"
"Snow, I can't answer all your questions until I've finished examining Emma." Whale said gently. "She woke up right before you came in."
"She was out that long?" Snow asked, panicking. "Shouldn't she have a scan of some sort? Emma, are you sore? Is your vision blurry?"
"Ok," Charming said, getting up before Whale chucked them both out. He gently moved Snow over to the chair beside Emma. "Let Whale finish his examination, and then interrogate him." He said, kissing the top of her head. Snow was still apprehensive, but at least she was sitting down.
"You know, we have a family waiting room. You could wait there while I-"
"No." Both Snow and Charming said together. They weren't leaving. Not until they knew she was ok. Snow and Charming each took Emma's hand, listening to Whale's every word. Snow thought about the possibility of getting Emma some kind of helmet while she recovered, but even Snow didn't think she could make Emma wear it.
