Sorry it's been forever! I got a review from Loboselina and knew she had put out quite a few chapters of her story, Charming Family drabbles, so I decided to try to give her and you all another chapter! It's a bit long, but I didn't think anyone would mind the length! Enjoy!

Remember: Emma 21, Henry 3, Neal 1.5 (Snow just had a baby girl named Gracie).

Chapter 5: Together Again

After reaching his wife's hospital room, David informed her of what happened and Emma's injuries.

"I need to be there with her because she is terrified that he is going to come find her. And of course she hates hospitals and doesn't listen to what they tell her to do so I need to be there with her, but I need to be here with you since you can't even get out of bed to get the baby when she cries. How am I supposed to be here and there at the same time?" David finished in a panicked voice.

"Can we move her up here?" Snow asked softly.

"Do you think they would do that?"

"Maybe. We could talk to Whale."

"Yes, let's do that. She wants to see you anyway. Then I could be with both of you, all of you."

Snow hit her nurse button and the nurse came in a few minutes later. "Would you mind seeing if Dr. Whale is available?"

"Sure. I'll be right back."

5 minutes later….

"I heard you needed to see me?"

"Yes, did you hear about Emma being here?"

"No, I didn't."

"Well she is and they are keeping her overnight." Snow said.

Whale was already going over to the computer they had in the room. He searched for Emma and found her. He looked at her chart to figure out all that was wrong.

"We were wondering if it was possible to get her moved up here to this room. She hates hospitals as it is and she just went through a terrifying situation. She really needs to be with us, but I also need to be with Snow and the baby." David told him.

"Well this is a mom and baby floor and Emma wouldn't get all the rest she needs, but in Emma's case it may actually be more beneficial than harmful for her to be in here. I'll see what I can do and I'll transfer her to me so that I can treat both of you."

"Thanks, Whale." David said sincerely.

"I haven't done anything yet, but I'll try."

"Thanks anyway." Snow said with a smile.

Whale left, but came back fifteen minutes later. "Ok, I talked to her doctor and got her transferred to me. I also got approval from the board to get her moved in her. I have already sent the order for her to be brought down here."

"Good. Thank you so much, Whale." Snow said in relief.

"Yes, Thank you." David said as he shook his hand.

"How long will it take for her to be up here?" Snow asked after a moment.

"Probably ten to fifteen minutes at the most."

"Maybe you should go down there and make sure she knows what is going on?" Snow said to her husband.

"Yes, I'll head down."

"I'll come with you. I need to look at her anyway." Whale said and they walked out together.

*****OUAT****

"Hey sweetheart." David said as he came to Emma's bed as Whale found her chart.

She had accidentally fallen asleep because of the medicine she was on.

"Dad." Emma breathed in relief.

"I told you I'd be back." David said with a smile. "And Whale is going to look over you and then let you come up to your mother's room to stay."

"He's letting me out?" Emma asked hopefully.

"Uh no. Just moving you down to your mother's room." David answered quickly.

Emma frowned, but at least she would be with her parents.

"Hello Miss Swan, let's get you checked out and then upstairs." Whale said as he came up to her.

*****OUAT*****

"Can't I just walk up?" Emma asked as the people came to help transport her to her mom's room.

Three no's answered at the same time. Her father, Dr. Whale, and the transporter.

"Emma, you are injured. You have to stay in bed." David said softly as if he was talking to a little kid.

"But it's weird being taken through the hallways in a bed." Emma grumbled.

"I know, but you and your mother can both complain about that with each other." David told her with a chuckle. Snow had complained about the same thing earlier.

Emma frowned. She didn't want to just complain about it, she didn't want to ride in the bed at all!

"Dad.." Emma complained.

"Emma, this isn't a discussion or an option. It is hospital protocol and you will do what they ask." David told her firmly, but kindly.

Emma's face reddened some at his scolding because it was in front of Whale and the two transporters that were going to take her to her mom's room. She looked down at her blanket to avoid all their eyes. She felt like a little girl that just got in trouble in front of a bunch of people.

"Do you understand?" David asked when she didn't respond.

Emma nodded, but didn't look up. He had to just keep going, didn't he?

David hid a smile at her blushing in embarrassment. She didn't need to be embarrassed. He was just trying to stop her inevitable argument if he didn't put a stop to it right away.

"Are we ready to go?" One of the transporters asked.

"Yes, you may head out." Whale answered after putting Emma's IV bags on the bed for now.

David moved away so they could get the bed out of the room. Emma finally looked up as they started to move her and found her father to make sure he was still there.

"Is it alright if I walk up with you guys?" David asked, knowing Emma would want him with her.

"Yes, that's fine." Whale answered.

David looked back at Emma to see her relax some and was happy that it helped her that he was there with her. "Thank you."

****OUAT****

Snow had been waiting for her daughter and her husband to come up. She was hoping it wouldn't take long for them to get Emma up to her room, but she knew that hospitals tended to take forever for anything.

She heard her husband's voice and knew they must be coming in her room. She heard her door open and then saw her baby girl being wheeled in looking not so pleased with being wheeled around in a bed. She totally understood her frustration. The next thing she noticed was her bandaged arm which made her mad at the man who thought it was okay to hurt her daughter.

"Are you alright, sweetie?" Snow asked when Emma looked at her.

"I'm fine." Emma answered, but Snow could tell that she wasn't fine. Her daughter's eyes told a whole another story. She was shaken up by the whole experience.

They set Emma's bed up and got her IV bags hanging up. They also got her pulse ox connected as well.

"Alright, I think we are all set. The nurse that was with you downstairs is going to come up to continue to take care of you." Whale told Emma.

Emma nodded in understanding.

"She will be up in a little bit to check your vitals and make sure you are set. Then I want you to get some rest." Whale told Emma.

"We will make sure that she does." David spoke up.

"Good. I'll come in sometime tomorrow morning to check up on all three of you."

"Thanks, Whale." Snow said from her bed.

"No problem." Whale said before exiting the room.

"How are you feeling, sweetie? Are you hurting at all?" David asked as soon as Whale was gone and Snow looked at Emma waiting for a response.

"I'm fine."

"Oh no you don't. Tell us the truth." Snow said from her bed where she was holding her new baby girl.

Emma frowned. She didn't like it when her parents insisted that she tell them how she felt. She looked from her mom to her dad hoping that her Dad would tell her she didn't have to tell them, but the look he gave her told her that they needed to know the truth.

"I'm just sore." Emma said quietly.

David and Snow had a silent conversation, but let it go anyway. They knew she was not okay, but the nurse would come in and they could see if she was due for more pain meds.

"Do you want to meet your little sister?" David asked after a moment.

Emma bit her lip, but nodded. She still wasn't sure about this baby. She felt like she could very well be what replaces her in the family, but that wouldn't be the baby's fault.

David went over and picked up his youngest daughter from his wife's arms to bring her over to Emma. "Meet your sister, Grace Mya Lynn." David said as held her to show Emma.

Emma looked at her and couldn't help, but fall in love with her cute little face. Maybe it wouldn't be hard to love her little sister. Afterall, she didn't think she would be able to look at Neal, but now she couldn't imagine her life without him.

"Can I hold her?" Emma asked after a moment.

David frowned a little because Emma only had one good arm and she had two ribs on her left side broken. "I don't know, sweetie."

Emma frowned, feeling like he didn't trust her and that's why he didn't want her to hold the baby.

"David, just grab an extra pillow to put on top of Emma so it won't bother her ribs." Snow suggested, knowing what her husband was thinking.

"Alright, but are you sure that she won't be hurting?" David asked in concern.

"She'll be okay." Snow said with a smile.

Emma now understood and actually felt touched that her Dad was so concerned about her.

David held the baby in one arm and grabbed a pillow with the other.

"Alright, now you tell me if you are hurting right away, got it?" David said as he came over to her and put the pillow on top of her.

"Yes, Dad." Emma said as she rolled her eyes

David narrowed his eyes, but then carefully set the baby on the pillow. Emma wrapped her good arm around the baby and when David was satisfied that the baby was secure he let go.

"Are you hurting at all?" David asked as he studied Emma's face.

"No more than before." Emma lied. It did bother her some, but it was worth it.

David narrowed his eyes.

"David, she's fine." Snow said as she shook her head.

"Alright." David said with a sigh, but he was only letting her hold the baby for a little bit. He didn't want her to put any more strain on her body right now.

A few minutes later, Emma's nurse came in and David went over and picked up Grace from Emma to bring her back over to Snow.

Emma frowned, she liked holding her little sister even if it was putting a strain on her ribs and arm.

The nurse introduced herself to Emma's parents and then wrote on Emma's board. She took Emma's vital signs. David asked about Emma's pain meds and when she was able to have more. The nurse told him that she was due for another dose of Norco, a pain medication. The nurse got the medicine and gave it to Emma. Emma didn't want to take it, but she knew her parents would get her to anyway so she took it.

"Alright, kiddo. It is time for you to get some sleep. We will be here all night if you need us." David told Emma.

Emma was exhausted from the day and the medicine was kicking in pretty fast so she just nodded in agreement.

"Goodnight, Emma." Snow said from her bed.

"Night, Mom." Emma said with a shy smile and Snow smiled back.

David pulled her blankets up to cover her. "Are you warm enough?" David asked thinking she needed another blanket.

"It's actually a little cold." Emma said with a frown.

"I'll get you another blanket in a minute, sweetie." David said softly. "Close your eyes for now."

Emma closed her eyes and then opened them. "You aren't going to leave are you?" Emma asked with a scared look.

"No, I am not leaving." David reassured her.

"Ok."

"Goodnight, baby girl." David said before he kissed her forehead.

"Night, Daddy." Emma murmured back as she closed her eyes.

David smiled softly at her calling him Daddy. She had said it before, but it was rare so when ever she did call him that he cherished it.

After a moment, he went to go find some blankets for both his wife and daughter. One of the nurses gave him a couple heated blankets that he took back to the room.

He put one on Snow's bed and set the other two on the rocking chair that was in between the beds. He grabbed one and carefully laid it over Emma who opened her eyes when he did.

"Close your eyes, baby." David said before he kissed her cheek.

Emma did and fell asleep soon after that.

Emma slept for the next two hours without a problem. Snow and David slept on and off through the two hours. Baby Grace was waking them up every once in awhile wanting to eat.

2:07am

Baby Grace woke up her parents once again with her crying. They were both surprised, yet thankful that their other daughter, Emma, didn't wake up whenever she would cry.

David got up since Snow was on bedrest and went to Grace.

"Hey sweetheart, it's alright. Daddy's here." David whispered softly to his baby girl. Every time he looked at her he saw the similarities she had with Emma. He made sure to memorize Emma's face before putting her in the wardrobe since he knew he wouldn't see it again until she was grown up. He carefully picked up his young daughter and brought her over to his wife who already had her arms out to take her.

"How are you doing?" David asked his wife.

"I'm alright, just tired." Snow answered with a tired smile.

"Are you in any pain?" David asked with a concerned expression.

"A little, but I should be getting more medicine in another hour."

David nodded, but he didn't like any of his family members in pain.

"David, I'm fine, really."

David frowned. "You sound like my daughter…"

Snow smirked. "She'll be okay."

"I know, but I feel terrible that she had to go through all of that alone. If my phone had been on, I could have helped her and she wouldn't have been here alone for so long."

"David, I know that if you would have known about it, you would have been there. It is unfortunate that your phone was dead and I went into labor, but we can't change it. She will understand what happened and know that we care about her so much so that she will get annoyed with us."

David chuckled. "Probably. You know she is afraid that he is going to come find her here. As far as I know, he is still on the loose so we will have to keep her close."

"I don't like the idea of a man like that running around. We better warn people about him." Snow said seriously.

"Yes, we should, but if I have anything to say about it he will be behind bars as soon as possible." David said with frustration at this man.

Snow nodded in agreement.

David sat down in the rocking chair as Snow nursed Grace. Since Emma was in the other bed, he was sleeping rather uncomfortably in the rocking chair that was in between the beds.

"How are you even sleeping in that?" Snow asked.

"Not very well, but it's okay." David said with a grimace.

Snow smiled sympathetically at him. She knew even if she suggested that he go home, he would never go. Not with her on bedrest needing his help and his daughter injured with the possibility of internal injuries that also needed his help. He wasn't leaving until it was time for them both to go home.

After another fifteen minutes, Snow handed the baby back to David and he rocked her for a few minutes before putting her in the hospital crib that she didn't like. She would rather be held then be in the plastic crib. But this time she didn't seem to notice. He smiled softly as he watched her sleep in her pink blanket that Granny had made for her with her name on a piece of white silk with the lettering pink.

He turned to go back to his chair and looked over to Emma to see that she was pretending to be asleep. David shook his head softly before walking over to her. He fixed her blanket and kissed her forehead before whispering, "go back to sleep, sweetheart," to her. He saw her smile and then relax. He knew it must be bothering her that they had another daughter now. It was hard on her when they had Neal, but now they would experience things they never experienced with Emma with this baby girl. It was only natural for her to wonder if this baby was going to replace her.

David sat back down in the rocking chair and tried to sleep once again.

2:57am

David jerked awake and wondered what woke him. He looked over to the crib to see that Baby Grace was sleeping peacefully and then he looked over to Snow to see she was still asleep. He then realized it had to be Emma.

Emma was tossing and turning as she slept. He immediately knew she was having a nightmare.

He went over to her and tried to keep still to protect her arm and ribs from any further injury or pain. "Emma." David called softly.

Emma's eyes opened quickly and looked frightened.

"You're okay, sweetie."

"He…he was here. He tried to get me…" Emma told him, slightly out of breath.

"You were dreaming, he isn't here." David reassured her as he held her face in his hands.

"What if he tries to come?" Emma asked with a frown.

"If he tries to come, I won't let him get to you and he will get a couple of punches to the face before I throw him in jail." David told her seriously.

Emma was still breathing heavily, but she nodded her head.

"Just relax, honey. I won't let anything happen to you." David told her as he gently hugged her.

Emma closed her eyes as she tried to relax as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

David pulled away after her breathing returned to normally. "Alright, try to get some sleep now."

"Can you stay?" Emma asked quietly.

"Emma, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here." David told her as he pointed to the rocking chair.

Emma frowned. "No, stay here." Emma said as she pointed to her bed. She was tired, drugged, and afraid. She didn't always have her Dad to stay with her when she was younger when she was injured or afraid. She couldn't run to her parents' room, she had to soothe her own fears and issues.

David knew that it must be hard for her to ask for him to stay so he didn't argue that she shouldn't share her bed. "Ok, sweetheart."

Emma smiled and scooted over in her bed. She hadn't expected him to say yes.

David carefully laid on the bed beside her. Once he was situated, Emma leaned her head against his chest and fell asleep listening to his steady heartbeat. "Goodnight, Emma." David whispered to her as she slept.
