Regina and Emma began to wake up; Emma looked at Regina and smiled at her. Regina immediately returned the same smile to Emma.
"Good morning my love". Emma said in a gentle, quiet voice. She moved closer to give Regina a kiss on her forehead.
"Good morning, my dear wife." Regina said happily, she was happy that Emma remembered who she was for her and that the word "wife" meant something to her.
She kissed her cheek and put her head on her chest, not wanting to let her get away from her for a moment.
They were busy with each other that they had not even heard the noise coming from downstairs.
"I cannot wait for Henry to come back so I can tell him his mother remembers everything." Regina said enthusiastically.
Emma smiled at her and came closer to resting her head on Regina's head.
"I think it's better to keep on pretending I don't remember anything." Emma offered and looked at Regina's face.
"Why should we do such a thing, Emma? Don't you want Henry to know about it?" She asked her not exactly understanding her intent.
"I very much want Henry to know, but if the fairy happens to find us or something will happen with her, I do not want her to know, maybe she will expose her plan with no problem." Emma explained and Regina could understand the idea behind it, she agreed to her plan.
They did not know they were going to meet the Fairy very soon.
"I'm going to the bathroom and will be right back, do not go anywhere." Emma said and kissed Regina before she got out of bed.
"You know, I really like your hair like that, all long and beautiful." Regina flushed with the compliment but she liked to hear Emma's opinion.
"Thank you honey, I'll think about lengthening my hair after breaking this curse." She told her.
"I'm glad to hear I'll be right back my love". She kissed her again and walked toward the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
Regina stayed in bed, she waited for Emma to come back and maybe they could think of a plan against the Black Fairy. She closed her eyes and waited for her Emma's return.

Fiona was very quiet. She did not want to alert the suspicions of the women in the room; she did not want to make them run away from her. She began to climb the stairs to the little room up the library and waited before entering the room. She put her ear to the door and listened to the voices coming from the inside. It made her happy; she would finally succeed in her plan.
Fiona took a gun out of her pocket and was almost ready to enter the room.

Regina was concentrated in her thoughts and her eyes were still closed. She did not hear the door open and the Fairy's entrance into their hiding place.
"You've almost stopped my plan, but you're just a naive, stupid girl." Fiona said in a calm voice. Regina immediately jumped up and looked at the person opposite her, the Fairy standing by the bed with a gun in her hands ready for shooting if Regina made the wrong move.
"How did you find us?" Regina asked in fear, the only thought she had in her head was what happened to Henry and whether he was all right.
"Did you really think I wasn't smart enough to know where you were? And Henry helped me a lot." The Fairy said with an evil smile.
When Regina heard Henry's name, she immediately feared for his safety.
"Where's Henry, what have you done with him? I swear if you hurt him I'll kill you." Regina said angrily and fury appeared on her face.
"I'm not really afraid of you, after all I'm the one with the power and you're worthless, powerless."
Meanwhile Emma stayed in the bathroom and listened to the whole conversation, she could not believe the Fairy had found them; she had to think about a plan and fast, something that would not raise the suspicion that she was aware of the curse.
"What do you want from me, I just want to go back to my life and be with my wife and my son." Regina said angrily.
"Oh, yes, where is your partner in crime, really I would not want to separate you two, it's just a shame she does not remember who you are to her."
Fiona began to search the room, not taking the gun for a moment from Regina.
"Where is she? Call her now or Henry will have to bear the consequences."
Regina immediately wanted to attack the Fairy but did not want to endanger Henry's life.
"Emma, you can come out now, there's someone looking for you." Regina said in a half-calm, half-frightened voice.
Emma closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she went out to face the Black Fairy.
"Regina, what's going on here? Fiona, why do you have a gun? You'll hurt someone." Emma said calmly, as if she did not understand what was going on.
"Ah, Emma, luckily you're all right, I don't know what that crazy girl told you but she's dangerous Emma, you cannot trust her." Fiona tried to make her question the trust in Regina; she wanted to see if Emma was still under her spell.
"What are you talking about? Henry said she was all right and you just did not want her to be with him because she is his mother." Emma said in amazement and played into Fiona's hands.
"You cannot trust her Emma, I do not want you to get hurt, you know I always want the best for you, or I would not bother to get you a medical help from the beginning, I'm not angry you ran away from the hospital, I don't blame you for helping Henry. But Emma is a child with a developed imagination, he cannot tell reality from fantasy."
"It does not change the fact that Regina was tied in an isolation cell, she was in bad shape, how do you explain it?" Emma wanted to know how much the Fairy was willing to share and whether she trusted her.
Regina sat quietly, unwilling to destroy Emma's game and let her lead what she thought fit.
"You do not understand, she's mentally unstable, I had to tie her up, to protect her from herself."
Fiona tried to explain. She knew it would not work on Emma, but she had one last card to use.
"Where's Henry? He should have come to see me." Emma had to know where he is and what had happened to him.
"Everything's okay with him, he's at home waiting for your arrival, I don't want to separate you any more, I think it's time you came back to Henry's life. You're healthy enough and you do not have to go back to the hospital." Fiona said kindly and gently.
"Will you really allow me to be in Henry's life and raise him again, without any hospital?"
"Yes, Emma, I admit it was a mistake to separate you but now we can raise him together."
"Okay, I'd love it very much, but what about Regina? I cannot let you go on hurting her, it's not right." Emma saw the Fairy's face shrink a little, she wanted to scream and break the image she was painting for her.
"Do not worry, I'll make sure everything's okay with Regina, she will not be hurt, and because you were willing to risk your life for Henry I will not even take her back to the hospital, she'll stay with me, I'll take care of her."
"Why would you want to do something like that, you said she is dangerous how could you put Henry in danger?" Emma tried to get as much information as she could.
"She's very important to me, I know she's dangerous but I cannot abandon my daughter." The shock on Emma's face was playing in her favor, how anyone could lie so well, but she would know it was a lie even if she did not remember the whole truth, catching lies is her superpower.
"No Emma, do not listen to her, she's lying she is not my mother, she kidnapped me, Emma please you must believe me."
Regina said in a sad voice and in her eyes where tears, she had to convince the Fairy that Emma did not believe her and how much it had hurt her.
Emma turned to Regina and looked at her in disgust; she began to approach her and stood in front of her. She bent a little and was face to face with Regina.
"You lied to me, I asked you for the truth and you lied to me, how could you do it Regina, I do not even know if it's your name or not. How could you put Henry in danger? You deserved everything that happened to you until now." Emma said angrily but winked at Regina so that she would understand that it was just an act and that she would cooperate with her.
Regina understood and began to cry; she apologized to Emma but continued to ask her to believe her.
Fiona was glad to see this moment and realized that Emma believed her, the sentence Emma had told Regina at the end of the conversation had made her day.
"I hate you Regina and I hope not to see you again in my life." Emma moved away from her and stood next to Fiona.
"What are you going to do with her?"
Fiona looked at Regina, she was devastated, all in tears and it made her feel good.
"Do not worry, I'll take care of her, she will not cause anyone any problems anymore, I have a special place just for her."
Regina wanted to show that she was not giving up and quickly got out of bed and tried to escape from the room, but before she could escape Emma catch her and hold her against her body, Regina tried to fight her and escape, but Emma's hold was too strong.
"Let me go Emma please, don't let her take me." Regina pleaded with her, but Emma wanted the Fairy to trust her and play according to her plan.
"I cannot do it Regina, you see you've got to get help, Fiona will help you just as she helped me, it'll be good for you." Emma said gently and stroked her hair in an effort to calm her.
"Very good Emma, I'm so proud of you." Fiona praised her and went over to Regina, who was still trying to free herself from Emma's hold.
She grabbed her chin and turned her head so that she could look at her.
"I promise to help you my dear daughter, I'll give you everything you need to be normal, I promise." She kissed her on the cheek and Regina looked at her furiously, she just wanted to get away from her so she immediately frees her head from the Fairy's hands.
Emma gently tried to stroke Regina's back and reassure her that she is not alone.
"You need help with her, Madam Mayor?" Emma asked, wanting Fiona to share the plan with her.
"I appreciate your willingness, Emma; I'd love for you to help me."
Emma smiled at Fiona and she smiled back at her.
Regina continued to struggle Emma's hold and try to escape, Fiona knew that Emma could not go on like this for long, if Emma lost her hold, Regina could run away.
So she took a syringe from her jacket pocket with a sedative in it.
"I'm sorry we have to come to this, but it's for your own good Regina"
"No, please, Emma, do not let her do this to me, please." Regina begged her.
Emma felt bad that she could not stop the Fairy and protect her wife.
"Regina if you calm down and come with us quietly I'm sure Fiona does not need to use the syringe." Emma tried to save the situation, the thought that her love was in danger made her feel bad.
Regina tried to calm down but the thought terrified her and her survival instincts kicked in with all her strength.
Fiona removed the cork from the syringe and asked Emma to turn Regina's head so that her neck will be exposed enough for her to inject the sedative.
Emma did what Fiona asked her and looked at Regina's eyes sadly; Regina only looked at her with a sad smile and muttered quietly that she loved her. The syringe entered her neck, and Regina screamed a little from the pain. After a few seconds she began to relax and her body fell into Emma's hands. She lost consciousness and Emma held her tight.
"I did not want to get to this but she needs help Emma. You do understand that right?"
"Yes, you had no choice, she brought it on herself." Emma lifted Regina in her arms and held her tight and close to her body.
"Where now?" Emma wanted to know where the Fairy was going to hold Regina hostage so she could save her later.
"Let's go downstairs, my car's waiting outside, you can sit with her in the back until we get to the new place."
Emma nodded and began to follow the Fairy until she left the library and then she got into the car and sat in the backseat with Regina on her knees, the whole ride she stroked Regina's head and face and murmured in her heart how sorry she was and how much she loved her.

Zelena and Robin hid near the library and saw everything that had happened. They did not understand why Emma was cooperating with the Fairy and why Regina was unconscious, they decided to keep track the car and hopefully lead them to the final destination.
