Hello guy! Here's a new chapter. I hope you like it.
Thanks for reading.
Regina arrived early to the hospital hoping to see Emma on the way to Robin's room, but there was no sign of her. She walked to her fiancé's room and sat next to him as usual, but this time her attention went straight to Emma. Regina was beginning to wonder where she was or if something bad had happened to her, and as answers to her questions Ruby appeared through the door.
"Sorry for bothering you, Regina, right?"
"Yeah, you're one of Emma's friends ... Ruby, right?"
Ruby nodded, giving her hand to Regina in greeting. Regina got up and accepted her greeting with a smile.
"I know I shouldn't bother you, but was wondering, if you know where Emma is?" Ruby asked in a worried tone.
"I thought she'd be here with some patient or something."
"I thought she'd be here with you, as usual."
"Something happened?" Regina asked, trying not to make her concern so obvious.
"He had a bad night" Ruby replied, grimacing. "A complicated case. I haven't seen her since then.
Regina knew where Emma was, but she didn't want to say it. She wanted to have the satisfaction of being the only one with that information and wanted to be the one who went in search of the blonde.
"Well, I'll see if I find her in one of the rest rooms." Ruby walked to the door and stopped with a smile. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too" Regina smiled and waited for Ruby to go out to the room to take her purse and leave the room.
She walked as fast as she could to the park, and when she got to the bench where they always sat, she could see Emma there, staring at the floor and pressing a manila envelope in her hands.
The brunette approached her cautiously and sat down next to Emma putting a hand on her back.
"Everything is alright?"
"The patient I took care of last night ..." Emma whispered without turning to look at Regina. "She died ..."
Regina moved closer to Emma and leaned forward trying to catch the blonde's gaze.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's not the first time it happens to me, but ... Every time that happens, I feel like part of me is failing."
"You don't have to do it, there are things that science can't avoid, including death."
"I know. It's the first thing they tell you when you choose to be a doctor" Emma looked at Regina for the first time and a smile slipped from her face at the sight of her so worried about her.
Regina could see in Emma's eyes that that was not all that was happening. Her blue eyes looked worried and nostalgic.
"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"Am I that obvious?"
Regina grimaced in response and shrugged.
"I found my parents" Emma confessed after a long sigh.
Regina looked at her confused. What was Emma talking about?
"I did not understand ... I thought you knew your mother."
"I grew up in an orphanage and stayed there until I was 10" Regina couldn't help but be surprised at Emma's words. "My mother, of whom I told you about, is my adoptive mother."
"Does that mean you found your biological parents?"
"I've been looking for them for a long time" admitted the blonde. "I wanted to know the reasons for they abandoning me, I wanted them to face me, but now ... I'm not so sure I want to."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure I can do it."
Emma opened the envelope in her hands and handed the contents to Regina.
The brunette took the papers in her hands and read the contents carefully.
"Mary Margaret and David Nolan" said Emma, looking at Regina. "Those are the names of my true parents."
"May I give you some advice?" Asked the brunette, handing her the papers back.
Emma nodded and put the papers in the envelope.
"You have to try, if you don't, it will be something that will pursue you the rest of your life ... Just try it."
Emma tried to smile and nodded.
Regina was right, she had to try. She wanted to know why her parents had abandoned her, because she had grown in such a horrible place until that woman rescued her.
Emma's beeper began to ring insistently, she took it out of the pocket of her pants and I saw on the screen a 911, the code of emergencies.
"I hope you want to run" Emma said, rising from the bench.
Regina gave her a confused look before Emma took her by the hand and dragged her running toward the street. They ran as fast as they could in the direction of the hospital.
Regina didn't care about running. The only thing that caught her attention was Emma's warm hand over hers.
They entered the hospital through the emergency room where a couple of nurses were waiting for an Emma.
A little girl approached her crying to seas.
"Please, save my mother" plead the little girl.
Emma looked at her tenderly, and Regina came up to her, leaning close to the child.
"Your mom is going to be fine, little girl... Dr. Swan is the best here" Regina assured her with a smile. "She's not going to let anything happen to your mom."
Emma listened to Regina as she put on her latex gloves and covered her mouths. She felt much tenderness as the brunette tried to reassure the child.
The girl followed Regina to the waiting room where they sat together waiting for news.
The little girl took Regina's hand and wiped the tears with the back of her other hand.
"Don't leave me alone, please."
Regina nodded and smiled as best she could.
"I promise."
It had been several hours before Emma had been in surgery. She left the operating room exhausted and determined to give the good news to the little girl who was crying for her mother.
She walk to the waiting room looking for the little girl. To her surprise, Regina was still with her and they were both eating some small cakes and the little girl had stopped crying, her eyes were red and swollen, but she looked calmer.
Emma approached them with a smile and gave the good news to the girl.
"Your mom's going to be fine, in a few hours she'll wake up and you'll be able to talk to her."
"Can I see her now?" asked the little girl with enthusiasm.
Emma nodded and motioned for one of the nurses to come over.
"Take the child to her mother's room, please."
The nurse nodded and took the child's hand to walk together.
Emma sat down next to Regina and sighed heavily.
"I'm glad everything went well" said the brunette.
"You were very good with the girl." Emma looked at her curiously. "How did you know I was going to make it?"
"I knew you wouldn't let me look like a liar" Regina assured her with a smile as she rose from her chair. "I have to go."
"See you later?"
"You still owe me a dinner, Dr. Swan."
Regina began to walk alone as she did. In a way so elegant and sensual that made anyone turn it to see her and more with those gowns dressed that seemed painted in her figure.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock at night, Miss Mills!"
The brunette stopped and turned slightly, gave Emma a smile and nodded and then continued walking.
Again, it was a date.
