"Emma!" Regina called from the kitchen. "You need to come down here!"
Emma poofed to the kitchen. "What's wrong? Are you hurt? I swear if there's any blood-"
"Calm down," Regina said, chuckling. "Turn off your overprotective machine and look outside. There's a mother deer and her two babies."
Emma looked outside and immediately smiled at the little deer family. "They're so cute. Maybe we could-"
"No we cannot have one," Regina interrupted, rolling her eyes. Emma sighed before pouting.
They watched for several more minutes, and then they noticed something disturbing. One of the little fawns seemed to be having trouble walking and keeping up with its sibling and its mother. The mother stopped long enough for it to catch up and lay down before sprinting away with the fawn that was healthy.
Emma's jaw dropped. "Did she just leave it there?"
"It's part of nature," Regina said. "It wasn't going to survive, and if they got slow for it they risk being caught and eaten. She's thinking of her other baby."
"That's awful," Emma said. "We could rescue it."
"No way," Regina said. "We are not bringing a fawn into our house to nurse back to health."
"Please?" Emma pleaded. "It won't even be for that long. Just long enough to put the leg in a brace and get it moving correctly. Then we can release it back into the wild with its mom and sibling."
Regina bit her lip as she thought about it. "Fine. But it better stay outside."
A week later, Emma looked in triumph as the baby deer, named Bambi by Henry, walked on his own perfectly without the brace on.
"You did it," Regina said, giving her a hug. "You successfully taught a baby deer how to walk."
"He already knew how to walk," Emma said, reaching down to pet him. "He just needed a little help doing it properly."
Regina let Emma pet him a little longer before nudging her gently. "You know what you have to do."
Emma sighed before bending down and picking up Bambi. She set him into the box that was his carrier and carried him to the bug. They had already been out two times and had yet to find Bambi's mom and sibling. Emma hoped that third time was the charm.
Once they got to the forest, Emma and Regina walked around, gazing through the trees for any sign of deer.
"Emma look," Regina whispered, pointing to the right. "There they are."
Sure enough, Bambi's mom and sibling were by the river. Emma set down the box and lifted Bambi out carefully before setting him on the ground. "There you go buddy. Go find your mommy."
Bambi looked at Emma and his surroundings before bounding off towards his family. Emma smiled as they left together, as a family.
"See?" Regina said. "You can save anyone. Even little fawns."
Emma rolled her eyes. "Let's go home."
