Regina decided not to tell the others the good news until they got to the hospital as to not get their hopes up, but she knew Henry would know exactly what to do. She just sat by Emmas bedside holding her hand for 15 more minutes before everyone arrived. Whale led them to the room where they saw the brunettes tear stained cheeks. "Oh Regina!" Mary Margaret said pulling her in for a tight and long hug to help reassure her. "Are you okay mum? Is there any news?" Henry asked rubbing his mums arm slightly. "Erm yes, Whale gave me some news earlier that he said could be good! Basically Emma has been able to hear me and he said her brain activity has increased. He told me that it would be a good idea for us all to talk to her more and tell her some memories we have with her, so far it is having a positive affect on her." Regina explained. "Wow that is amazing... that is great news! You know what that means don't you Regina? She is listening to your voice, she wants to wake up to be back with you because she loves you!" Mary Margaret said smiling at her. "Here we got the things you asked for, if there is anything else that you need when your here then do not hesitate to ask... we are here for you Regina... we know you must be finding this all a bit hard to deal with but that is great news." David said passing Regina a big overnight bag filled with thing she may need. "Thank you so much... it means a lot to have people around me right now as I don't really have a family of my own... I'm sorry about all the horrible things I did to you in the past I really am I was just a broken and hurt girl but Emma helped repair me." Regina said looking them in the eyes. "Of course you have a family! You have us, we are your family and we couldn't be happier that your a part of it." Mary Margaret said kissing her head as she began to drift off. "I might just sleep here on the chair for a while if that is okay? Wake me up if I haven't already woken up in 2 hours, if there is any news or if you want to leave." Regina said. "Of course Regina. You get some rest, we are not going anywhere and you deserve some sleep after all the stress you have been through." David said smiling in her direction.
Regina slept for a few hours while the others stayed keeping an eye on both the women. The told Emma all the best memories they had made together while she had been with them in storybrooke and the enchanted forest. However she was woken up soon as Hook decided that he just couldn't stay away from Emma. David tried to keep him out but Hook just barged past talking to Emma as if she wasn't in her sleeping state. "This is all my fault if I hadn't kissed you that night then you wouldn't have come to the boat to shout at me and you wouldn't have left in that angry state!" Hook said worryingly looking at the blonde who seemed so unaware of her surroundings. "You mean to tell me that she is like this because of you! How is that fair? How is any of this fair?... She doesn't deserve to be like this but you just couldn't stay away could you! You can't stand to see her happy unless it is with you! Get out now! " Regina shouted at him scaring and upsetting him so much that he decided it is probably best that he did leave as he already felt guilty and didn't want to upset Emmas family.
"Regina are you okay?" Mary Margaret asked looking a bit worried. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I am, it is just the other night I walked in on him kissing Emma but left before seeing her pushing him off. So I was sad and she was angry with him... me and Emma where fine she said she was just going to work. I guess she just didn't want to upset me but it is okay. I'm sorry for worrying you!" Regina said hugging her. "That is okay, you don't need to be sorry. You have been through a lot the past couple of days, but lets stay positive and remain hopeful as that has always worked for me in the past. We are going to go now as Henry is asleep in the car but we will be back tomorrow lunch time okay? If you need anything just call us and we will be right back." she replied giving Emmas hand one last squeeze. "Thank you... you have already been a great help... make sure you keep an eye on Henry, he looks strong but that boy is very fragile. Try to get some sleep." Regina said walking Mary Margaret out of the room. "We will make sure he is okay, don't worry. Bye Regina." Mary Margaret said waving as she walked out of the hospital.
Regina walked back in to the hospital room as she was no longer tired because of her rest, she decided that she would stay up and talk to Emma in the hopes that she may awaken her from her slumber.
