Stained carpet- part 2
A guest asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch3127 "Stained carpet" where Emma clings onto her parents the whole time she gets her stitches.
"You're lucky you've avoided a nastier injury, Miss Swan. You're gonna need a few stitches." The doctor said after examining Emma's head.
"No shit." Emma mumbled under her breath. Snow and David pretended not to have heard her. They knew she was only angry because she was frightened. Despite her best attempts to hide it, they both knew she was petrified of hospitals. Her leg bouncing up and down gave her away.
"Ok, Miss Swan, this won't take long. I'll numb the area around the cut and then we'll get started." He said, getting the equipment ready. Emma's eyes widened in horror. It had been years since she'd had any kind of stitches. She hated it then and she hates it now.
She coped alright as he numbed the area. She even thought she was beginning to calm herself down. Then she saw the needle the doctor was going to use and she had it. She quickly snatched a hand from both of her parents She was holding them so tightly she nearly cut off the circulation.
"It's alright." David said, quietly trying to reassure his daughter. "It's all going to be ok. Emma didn't even move her head to nod she was so frightened. Snow and David shared a look over her head. Emma's badass attitude made it easy for them to sometimes forget that, underneath it all, she was still (sometimes) just a scared little girl.
