Finally after such a long time:) A new chapter:D
It's mostly fluffy but it will change from time to time :D
Doc came to the group after 8 hours surgery and smiled at them. "How is she?",Emma asked. "She is doing great.",he answered. "She is stabile and I think in a few hours after she wakes up again you can visit her. The others are keeping an eye on her so if Whale wants to harm her again we can protect her." "Will there be damage afterwards?",Snow asked and Doc shrugged slightly. "I can't say yet. Her ankle was pretty twisted and smashed. But I hope that she'll be good.",he told them saddened.
Henry hugged Emma tighter. He never wanted her to be so damaged. He never wanted her to be even a bit harmed. "It's my fault... because of me the curse broke and Whale remembered...",he sobbed and Emma held him. "No. It's not because of you, kid. She knew that it would happen... we should have protected her better.",Emma told him and sighed. "Everything will be good. And even if she will be damaged afterwards, we will help her. We are family." Snow nodded. "Listen to Emma, Henry. Furthermore, Regina is a tough one. She survived more than that. Don't worry.",she said and Henry smiled slightly. He nodded and wiped his tears.
A few hours later Doc informed them that they could visit Regina. They entered the room where a really tired looking Regina smiled at them. "You are on painkillers, aren't you?",Emma asked when she saw Regina's goofy smile. Regina nodded and started to giggle when she felt her stomach hurts. "Ouch...",she winced but her grin didn't vanish. Henry ran over to her and sat down on the end of the bed. He carefully avoided her legs and smiled. "I'm glad that you are better now.",he said and Regina looked at him. "Me too.",she answered and Emma sat down next to her.
"You'll stay with us for a while until you are better.",Emma said and softly nudged their shoulders. Regina laid her head on Emma's shoulder and nodded. "You are comfy...",she said and giggled again. Emma softly placed a hand on Regina's stomach and stroked over it when she started to wince again. Regina relaxed slightly and sighed deeply. "What happens than? When I'm good again?",Regina mumbled. She was slowly drifting off to sleep again. "Than we'll arrange something.",Emma said and Henry nodded. "Yes! Emma could move in with us so the two of you wouldn't have to fight about me.",he said and Emma chuckled.
"Although this idea is great I think because Regina and I aren't together... moving in one house could be bad for us.",Emma said and Regina shook her head. "I... don't mind company.",she mumbled and fell asleep. Emma smiled and Henry quickly crawled up to them and laid down on Emma while he studied his mother. He fell asleep too and so they stayed the whole night until it was morning again.
Ruby entered the room with a soft knock against the door. Snow who had fallen asleep on the couch woke up startled and smiled at Ruby who walked over to her. "We found Whale and captured him. We don't know what to do with him though...",Ruby said and Snow breathed out relieved. "Put him in prison until we know something. And let the blue fairy put a spell over it so he can't break out.",Snow told her and Ruby nodded. They looked to the three sleeping people on the bed. "They kinda look cute together.",Ruby said and Snow nodded.
"Would you be against a relationship between the two of them?" "No. Even if Regina was the cause that Emma was separated from us she still is someone I would wish for my daughter. She is loyal. She has a huge heart and would give everything for the person she loves. She maybe lashes out a bit too fast but I think when she has someone supporting her, she'll be good. She'll be the Regina who saved my life again.",Snow said and Ruby nodded slowly. "I'll get the blue fairy.",she said and left Snow again.
Regina stirred a few minutes later. She slowly opened her eyes and moaned in pain. She looked around and found Snow. "Can you find someone who gives me painkillers?",she rasped and Snow nodded. "I'll be back shortly.",she answered and Regina smiled at her. She looked to Emma and Henry and her smiled widened. She pinched Emma who gasped and opened her eyes. Emma looked at Regina and smiled. "Hey.",Emma said and Regina grinned. "Hey.",she answered and winced slightly.
Emma stroked Regina's stomach softly and they smiled. "Thanks for staying.",Regina said and Emma nodded. She looked at Regina's lips and than gathered all her bravery and captured them in a slow sensual kiss. Regina was surprised but happy. She kissed her back as sensual as Emma. When they broke apart Regina blushed and laid her head back on Emma's shoulder. "Now you can move in with us.",Regina said and Emma smiled. "Great."
Snow reentered the room with a nurse. "How are you?",the nurse asked and Regina thought about it. "Not entirely bad but I could be better.",she answered. The nurse smiled softly and gave Regina a few pills and water. She quickly downed the pills and gave the glass back to the nurse. "Thanks.",she said warmly and the nurse nodded. "You are welcome. When you need something just call us.",she said to Regina who nodded. "I will, thanks.",she answered and snuggled closer to Henry and Emma. The nurse left and Snow sat down on the end of the bed. "Hey.",Snow said softly and hesitantly placed her hand on Regina's knee. "Does it hurt?",she asked just to make sure. "No...",Regina answered with a smile and looked to Emma. She whispered something which made Emma giggle. Snow felt a bit left out but couldn't help but be happy for Regina. She had endured so much and finally found someone.
"We have to decide what to do with Whale.",Snow said and Regina thought about it. "Put him downstairs into the mental ward. Belle can assure you that that's even worse than death.",Regina said and Snow nodded. "Will do. Have a nice rest. Should I take Henry with me?" "Yes, please.",Emma answered and eased the boy off of her body. She shook him awake. "Mhm?",he yawned and looked at his mothers. "Would you mind going with Snow? Your mom needs rest and it's a bit difficult with so many people occupying her bed.",Emma said. "Why don't you go than?",he asked and Regina chuckled before she winced. "Because I know how to stroke your mother's tummy when she is in pain.",Emma said and poked him softly. He grinned. "Fine.",he fake pouted and leaned over. He kissed Regina's unharmed cheek and got of the bed.
"Can I see you this afternoon again?",he asked and Regina nodded. "Yes. Don't worry. See you in a few.",Regina told him and he nodded. He followed Snow out of the room. Emma leaned over to Regina and kissed her softly. "Hottie.",Emma whispered and Regina chuckled. "Giving yourself compliments doesn't look good.",Regina said and Emma shushed her. "You know that I mean you.",Emma answered. "Would you mind if I get something to eat for us? I haven't eaten all day yesterday and am pretty hungry." "It's alright. Bon appetite.",Regina answered and Emma smiled. She hopped of the bed and covered Regina with her blanket again. "I'll be back in 10." Regina nodded and Emma left. A minute later a nurse entered.
She grabbed Regina's throat and started to choke her. Regina was able to hit the nurse who stumbled back and she leaped out of the bed. She fell down on the ground and was quickly trapped by the nurse on her stomach. "No one will like you when you are a burden for them.",the nurse said and Regina felt panic rise in herself. She felt a searing pain in her back and heard a cruel laugh. Regina started sobbing when suddenly the door opened. Emma gasped and pulled her gun. "Hands up and away from Regina.",Emma snapped before she called for the hospital stuff. A few nurses directly came and arrested the nurse while the others called Doc and laid Regina back down on the bed.
Doc examined Regina and looked at her saddened. "I...I'm sorry to tell you but... it seems like that the nurse damaged the nerves which lets you use your legs...",he said and Regina broke down completely. She sobbed and Emma quickly took her in her arms. She held her while Doc told Snow ways to help Regina for a while until she could handle it herself. "You will leave...",Regina sobbed and Emma shook her head. "We will make it, Gina... even if you can't walk. I don't mind. Really..." "I'm just a burden... the nurse was right... no one will like me when I'm a burden... and that's a perfect way to trap me in my house... I will never be able to work because my office is on the first floor... I will never be able to go to Granny's again because of the stairs... I won't be able to do anything...",Regina sobbed and Emma shook her head. "You will. The office can be built on the ground floor and I think Granny won't mind changing the steps to something wheelchair friendly.",Emma told her.
Regina looked at her doubting and Emma kissed her forehead. "I promise. WE will make it.",she said and Regina nodded slowly. Snow watched them saddened. "Tell the other dwarves that I want a town meeting in 2 hours. Everyone gets free but the guards of Whale and his psychotic girlfriend and the hospital stuff. They will have free on another day.",Snow said and Doc nodded. He left them and Snow walked to the bed. "Regina?",she started softly and was met by two pairs of eyes. "We will help you. Don't worry. Everything will be alright." Regina nodded slowly and leaned against Emma.
Two hours later Snow was standing in front of almost everyone in the town.
They watched her curiously. "Regina has survived the surgery without complications.",she started and everyone sighed relieved. "But the bad news are that she got hurt again by Whale's psychotic girlfriend." That shocked everyone. "I can't understand how people can be that cruel. Even the Queen never hurt people who were already hurt...",a man said in the second row to his friend who nodded. "We think that it was an act of revenge.",Snow told them. "Anyway... Doc..."
"Regina is bound to a wheelchair since the accident... the nurse damaged the nerves to Regina's legs pretty bad and I don't see any chance of healing...",Doc said and everyone looked completely shocked. "And what will we do?",someone asked and Snow sighed. "I thought about making the town wheelchair friendly. So that Regina has a chance to interact with us without being restrained.",Snow told them and they nodded slowly. "The town will afford it, if it's that what you are thinking about." "No, I think many of us are thinking about the changes we need to do for that.",the man from the second row said again and many hummed approving. "The Queen will be a part of us. We make sure of it.",his friend said and Snow smiled. "Thank you. You don't know how much it means to Regina.",Snow said and dismissed everyone.
TBC...?
