Regina woke up in the morning hoping that it would have been a nightmare but she quickly realised that this was really happening. She laid there a few minutes before whale entered asking if she had informed Emmas family yet and he explained it would probably be a good idea in case the unthinkable happens. Regina reluctantly agreed she knew he was right but she had no idea how she would explain to Henry or Emmas parents without breaking down. What she was most scared of though was how Henry would cope with it all as he was doing exams at school at the moment and the last thing he needed was to be too stressed to concentrate.
Regina gently got up from underneath the blonde and sat on the chair next to the hospital bed allowing herself time to think about how she would break the news to everyone. She decided she would call Mary Margaret first so she could tell David and they could make sure that when Regina called Henry that he was with them. She wanted them to help him in case he was really upset and so they could all come straight away. "Erm Hi Mary Margaret, I have some bad news you might want to sit down... I'm sorry that I have to tell you this but Emma has been in a car accident, her car lost control and she crashed hitting her head. She's in the hospital in a coma and they said if she does ever wake up she might not remember who any of us are... I'm so so sorry." Regina said crying down the phone to her. "Oh no my poor baby... how long has she been there? Are you going to stay with her? Are you okay? Can I do anything to help? Thank you for telling me Regina, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye but I do care about you. I know we both care for Emma too." Mary Margaret said beginning to tear up. "I'm fine thank you... Erm yes, I was wondering if you could pick Henry up from school and take him to my house. The spare key is in the plant pot under the doorbell. It's just I don't want to leave her and I came here in such a rush that I forgot to pick myself up some bits from home like clothes, stuff to wash with and money. Also you could bring Emma some things here in case she wakes up if you want. Text me when you get to mine and I will ring Henry and explain. Thank you for being so understanding... this may bring us closer." Regina said in a caring voice. "Of course I will do that right now, the sooner we get there the better we will all feel... this is not your fault you know so do not blame yourself! I'm going to go do that now. I should be about an hour take care." Mary Margaret replied before hanging up.
Regina made her way over to the blondes bed again to hold her hand and talk to her, she thought maybe if she heard her voice she may wake up. "Did you hear that beautiful, your mum and dad will be here soon with our son. Everyone cares about you, we would all miss you so much so please wake up and come back to me!" she said sobbing harder than she had ever sobbed before.
*How is any of this fair? As soon as she finds her happy ending it is taken away from her! How could someone so innocent and loving like Emma be punished so often?*
It killed her to see her love in pain and not even knowing what was going on around her. Regina got back in to the bed with Emma laying the blondes head on her chest once again as her eyes were getting tired from all the crying she had done. She never wanted to let her go again. Regina finally fell asleep before she was awoken by a text from Mary Margaret. Mary Margaret: We are here now but Henry is very confused as to why I picked him up and why it was only half way through the school day. I will be over in 35 mins.
Regina knew it was time to explain to her son what was going on but she had to put it gently as to not scare him too much. She took a deep breath before dialling his number. "Hi mum? What is going on? Can you please explain as I can see nan has been crying, she picked me up half way through my school day and she hasn't said a word other than come with me!" Henry asked in a bit of a panicked state. "Henry just breath and calm down! I have some bad news but everything will be okay... your mum has been in a bit of an accident and she's in a coma but she is strong and she will pull through this after all she is the saviour... Mary Margaret is just there picking up some bits then she will pick David up and bring you both here to visit your mum okay? I have to go now as the doctors want to speak to me but everything is going to be okay.. I love you!" Regina explained to him before hanging up.
"What is it whale, do you have some news for me? Is everything okay? She is okay right?" Regina asked nervously. "Yes, yes I have nothing bad to tell you... actually I have some news that could be good! There has been an increased rate of brain activity so whatever your doing keep doing it, she is responding well to it! Maybe talk to her more and tell her some memories you both have." whale said before exciting the room to see to another patient. "Oh Emma you can hear me! I'm not going anywhere okay, I love you so much and I know that you can pull through this as true love is the strongest magic there is!" Regina said as she exhaled.
