So finally I am posting the third chapter! Heads up though I don't know my medical stuff so I could have some info wrong! Try not to hold it against me!

Regina looked up just in time to see David emerging from the house carrying Henry's limp body, smoke billowing out behind around them.

Her face filled with horror, "David, is he okay?" She shouted across the lawn.

Forgetting about her injuries, she tried to stand up and was greeted with a sharp pain from both her legs. Shutting her eyes tight and groaning in discomfort, she slumped back against the tree. David hurried forwards, he knelt down and gently placed Henry on the grass beside her.

"Are you okay? That looked painful," he placed a hand on the side of her head in concern.

"Never mind about me, is Henry alright?" Her voice was shakier than usual as she passed Kaelyn to David.

"I didn't get the chance to check, I just wanted to get him out of there." David said as Regina pulled her son into her arms.

"Henry..." she whispered, pushing his hair away from his eyes.

The anguish was clear in her expression, and tears were beginning to fall for what felt like the hundredth time that day. She could barely breathe as she checked for his heartbeat. She could feel David place an arm around her as she waited, and when she received her answer she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, leaning her head back against the trunk of the tree.

"How is he?" David asked, afraid of what he would hear.

"He's alive," she said, a catch in her voice. David's wide smile of relief almost matched Regina's as she rested her forehead against his shoulder for a few seconds before leaning down to place a kiss on Henry's forehead. "Keep on fighting Henry. Please come back to me... don't give up." Her voice broke as she almost couldn't say the last part.

"Is he getting enough oxygen?" David asked.

"Yes I think so, his breathing seems to be fine." Regina responded in a low voice, she was still leaning towards Henry, but she slowly sat up, never taking her eyes off of him. David rubbed her arm comfortingly and she wiped a few tears away from her eyes. She leaned into his embrace.

A group of emergency vehicles including two ambulances came to a halt on the road in front of the elegant white house. Both parents looked up to see a team of firefighters jumping into action.

David kissed Regina's temple, and whispered, "see? Everything will be fine."

Regina gave a shaky smile, hoping that he was right.

Two EMTs rushed towards the family and turned their attention first to Henry.

"How long as he been unconscious?" One of them asked as they both examined him.

"We don't know," David answered, "I just pulled him from the house a few minutes ago and he was already unconscious when I found him."

"Okay, well he is breathing on his own which is good. But we need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible." Said the paramedic. "Is anyone else injured?"

"My wife, a heavy piece of furniture fell on top of her after the explosion." David responded again, Regina was too busy fretting over Henry.

"Let me see," the paramedic said kindly to the mayor, who finally took her attention away from her son whom she was still holding protectively against her.

Regina cleared her throat. "Ummm... it's my legs", she said distractedly. The paramedic gently pushed one of her pant legs up to reveal heavily bruising skin.

The paramedic turned to the other EMT," we're going to need two stretchers." The EMT nodded and went to get the first one. The paramedic continued to question David and Regina until the EMT returned with the stretcher.

"May we?" she asked Regina in regards to Henry. Regina frowned and clutched her son tighter, afraid of losing him.

"We'll look after him, and you'll be able to see him very soon." She assured the mother.

"Regina, let them take care of Henry," David said soothingly.

The brunette took a deep breath. "Fine," she said simply, not meeting his eyes, and she loosened her hold on him to let the EMTs pick him up and strap him to a stretcher. As they wheeled the boy back to the first ambulance, Regina leaned into David as he embraced her consolingly.

When the EMTs came back for Regina she let them take her to the second ambulance and give her an oxygen mask. The firefighters were left to save the house while David was allowed to ride in the ambulance with Regina and Kaelyn. They were both also going to need some oxygen too, just as a precaution. On the short ride to the hospital Kaelyn coughed a few times and then closed her eyes. David assumed she was just sleepy but the paramedic riding with them looked at the infant in concern.

"Has she done that any other times today?" she asked.

"No, not that I've seen." David said, eyeing the paramedic suspiciously. Regina said something that they couldn't decipher through the oxygen mask she was wearing.

She went to remove it but the paramedic stopped her, "here, let me do it."

When Regina was free of the mask she said, somewhat breathily, "Kaelyn did that before, I didn't think anything of it. I assumed she had just been asleep and that I woke her up. Is something wrong?"

"She might have breathed in too much smoke and her lungs are having difficulty coping." The paramedic explained.

"What?" Regina panicked, trying to sit up.

"It's okay," the paramedic said, gently pushing Regina back down. "With treatment your baby should be better in no time. Just try to relax for now."

She replaced the mask and Regina went to argue but David patted her arm, telling her with his eyes to trust the paramedic.

She held back whatever she was going to say but he could tell she was getting anxious and that wasn't going to help the situation any. He began to talk to her in a low, comforting voice as the paramedic examined Kaelyn. Regina's eyes were closed as she listened to him, but when she finally did open them again he almost wished she hadn't. She was looking at him with eyes that were so full of pain that it cut through him like a knife. David took her hands in his and tried to smile, even though seeing her so hurt was bringing tears to his eyes. However hard he tried to hide it from her, it was clear that Regina could see him falling apart, and he was afraid this would only make her even more upset.

She squeezed his hand gently and he realised that she was now trying to console him.

Now he really was able to smile, he sighed as he unclasped one of his hands from hers, and raised it to her forehead, gently brushing a few strands of hair back into place. At his touch her eyes softened, and they were both able to relax a little.

Regina broke their gaze first in order to turn her attention back to the others. The baby appeared to be breathing normally and was quietly staring up into the face of the stranger.

"How is she?" David asked.

"She will be fine for now," the paramedic responded, "but she will need to be further examined once we get to the hospital... in fact, we're just about to arrive."

David saw Regina tense slightly upon hearing that. "It's ok," he whispered as he leaned in closer, "I'll be right here with you."

As he rubbed her arm, he recognised the look in her eyes. She wasn't afraid for herself, she was worrying about the condition of her children. Both of them could be at risk and there was nothing she could do to help them.

"I'll check on Henry as soon as I can," he assured her.

When the ambulance came to a stop, David placed a delicate kiss on her forehead and once again, she calmed at his touch.

A/N: I'm sorry that once again this chapter is quite short. I was planning on making it longer but it has been a while since I updated and I thought I would just post this now. I'll try to write more soon, but I'm really busy over the next few weeks with university. I just want to write fanfiction for the rest of my life! :D I might post another chapter soon though, if I need a break from researching and studying! Thank you for your continued support!
