Chapter 7
I never was in hospital but my birth and I don't really know many things about what will come in this chapter but I hope you don't mind. I always try my best :) anyway. I know Neal isn't the nice guy in the story and it could look like I hate him but I just don't really like him. If here are still Neal fans I apologize but I have something against men who leave their women without a word... that's why I always ship Emma with Ruby when I don't write Swan Queen because I don't think Hook seems fitting either^^although he is at least better than neal (Sorry, apologies again.)
Anyway, I hope you like the chapters and leave some reviews! I love you all :)
Neal somehow lured all of them away from Regina and gave his father the chance to enter Regina's hospital room. "Hello, Dearie.",Gold said and Regina sat up startled. "Gold. What do you want from me?",she asked surprised but he waved with his hand and she lost consciousness. He grabbed her chin and poured a youth potion into her mouth before he forced her to swallow it. He watched how the normally strict and cold looking woman turned to a pre-teen. He smiled widely. Regina wouldn't remember Emma nor anyone else. Just her old life from the Enchanted Forest. With that he poofed himself away.
"What are we doing here, Neal?",Emma asked annoyed. She didn't liked being away from Regina for too long. "My dad said that he felt magic being casted here.",he lied and Emma sighed. "Even if Cora casted something we couldn't do something against her without Regina and your father.",Emma answered and David nodded. "Yeah, let's head back. We still have a wedding to plan.",he said and laid an arm around Emma's shoulders. Emma smiled and laid her arm around his waist and pulled her mother to them. "Let's take a break. We need to think of a trap because without Cora will rip us apart.",Snow said and they nodded. Neal sighed and looked onto his phone. His father had written him and he smiled triumphantly.
They drove back to the hospital and Emma ran upstairs to Regina. She entered the room with a big smile. "Hey, baby. Don't worry your mother wasn't there, I'm fine.",she said and her smile faded when she saw Regina. The young girl staring back at her with fear in her eyes. "Regina?",she asked shocked and quickly walked over. Regina backed away from Emma. "Who are you!",she shrieked and stumbled out of the bed and took more steps back. "It's me. Emma. We know each other. Even if you don't remember me. You can trust me, I promise.",Emma said and kneeled down to be on Regina's hight. Regina looked at her doubting before she slowly walked towards her.
Emma smiled at her with tears in her eyes. She hugged Regina closely when she was near enough. Regina wrapped her arms insecurely around Emma. She was surprised how easily she felt safe with Emma. "How do we know each other?",Regina asked and Emma sighed. "It's a long story...",Emma said. Suddenly Regina's knees buckled beneath her and Emma quickly caught her. "I got you, Regina. I got you.",she whispered and lifted her up and placed her back on the bed. "I'll get a doctor, okay?" "Can you get my daddy?",Regina asked quietly. Emma looked saddened. "Your father... died...",Emma said quietly and Regina started crying.
Emma held her in her arms and soothed her. "And mommy?",Regina asked her than. "She is here but I don't know where.",Emma answered. "Good thing that I happen to know when my daughter is in danger than.",Cora said and Emma turned around and pulled her gun. Cora flung the gun away and Emma just felt the bed dip and than saw Regina running into Cora's arms. "Mommy...",Regina said and Cora hugged her. Emma looked at her angrily. "Regina, my dear, would you wait here in this room while I talk with Emma?",Cora asked and Regina looked up scared. "We'll be just behind that door and I'll come back." Regina reluctantly nodded and crawled back on the bed.
Cora led Emma out of the room. "If you hurt just even one hair..." "I have my heart back.",Cora interrupted Emma who looked at her surprised. Cora looked into the room where her little daughter sat. "She is 12 by the way." Emma followed her gaze. "What happened to her? She was normal just 2 hours ago.",Emma said and ran a hand through her hair. "Someone cursed her...",Cora said and sighed. "She is so sweet." "We can turn her back, can we?",Emma asked and Cora shrugged. She knew that she could turn Regina back but she didn't wanted to. She never gave Regina the love she needed. She wanted to give her the needed love.
Emma sighed. "What happened to our babies?",Emma asked and Cora gasped. "Babies?",she shrieked. "Yeah, 5 little babies. Just two months old...",Emma said. "They are..." "They are what?",Emma snapped. "Because she is young now... Regina.. she got her period when she married the king and that was with 18 before that she was never able to get children... if she is really completely transformed to her 12-year-old self than the children are... are gone...",Cora said saddened and Emma's face fell.
She sat down on a chair and buried her face in her hands. "No...",Emma started crying and Cora looked at her helplessly. Cora sat down next to her and took her in her arms. "They are dead... they are all dead...",Emma sobbed and Cora sighed. "Maybe... when we find a way to bring her back... you could try again.",Cora said. "That's impossible! Dr. Whale told us that she will already have problems having one child and that she'll probably be barren after it... and now it's ruined! Everything is ruined! Just because you had to force her to marry my grandfather! A man who raped her daily!",Emma screamed and shook Cora's hands off.
Emma turned and just ran. Cora watched her and than turned back to Regina who looked really sick by now. She looked around until she found a nurse. "You!",she barked and the nurse flinched. "Get someone who can heal my daughter!" The nurse called Whale who quickly entered Regina's room. He looked kind of shocked before he quickly scooped her up and carried her to the X-rayroom. "What are you doing?",Cora asked. Whale sighed. "She was stabile when I checked on her two hours ago. Now she is a child and her condition is life threatening. I need to see if she has internal bleeding or whatever is trying to kill her.",he explained and laid Regina down.
After he x-rayed her he quickly picked her up again. "We need to cool her down again.",he said and quickly walked out of the room but Cora stopped him and laid her hand on Regina's head. She mumbled some words and her hand glowed purple. He gasped and looked up to Cora. "I cooled her temperature down.",she told him and he nodded. "I don't feel so good...",Regina mumbled and gagged slightly. "I let you down, okay?",Whale said and slowly lowered her to the ground. A nurse rushed towards them with a bin. It was the right time because not a few seconds afterwards Regina leaned over it and vomited.
Whale rubbed her back soothingly. "Why are you so nice? She brought you here...",Cora asked quietly. She was confused that Whale was so kind to Regina. "Just because we have our differences doesn't mean that I can let her die. She is trying to change and I brought so much pain over her... it's just fair to help her.",he answered and sighed when Regina had to vomit again. Another nurse came towards them. "The x-rays doesn't show anything. She is completely healthy.",she said and Whale frowned. "How old is she?",Whale asked and turned to Cora. "12... at least I think that she is 12...",she answered and looked saddened. Whale just shook his head and leaned further down to Regina.
"Hey, little one. Can you tell me how old you are?" "12.",Regina answered and coughed slightly. "Better now?" Regina nodded and he gave her a tissue. Regina wiped her mouth and than dropped it in the bin. She held her stomach and groaned. "What did the chef put in our food, Mommy?",she asked and Cora locked eyes with Whale. They knew what happened with Regina.
In the meantime Emma was running towards the diner. It was their lunch break and the diner was empty. She entered it and both, Granny and Ruby, looked up surprised. "What's going on, Emma?",Ruby asked shocked and quickly walked over to her and hugged her. "The babies... Regina and my babies are dead... someone turned Regina into a child and now they are gone! They are gone! And now she can't have children anymore! We won't be able to have children...",Emma sobbed and Ruby soothed her before she led her to the booth they had occupied and sat down.
"Why are you so bothered about not being able to have children with Regina?",Granny asked and directly regretted her sentence. "Why shouldn't I be bothered when I can't have children with my wife!",Emma growled and both gasped. "You.. you two are married?",Ruby asked and Emma nodded. "Yes... since two days... We wanted to be married in case Cora would kill one of us...",Emma explained. "We already were together for... 5 months... wow that's not as long as I thought it was..." Both Lucas women looked at each other doubting. "She didn't married you for revenge?",Granny asked and Emma looked up.
"Well, explain to me how Regina could get pregnant from me when Storybrooke hadn't had magic yet?" "She cheated on you?",Ruby said and directly shut up again. "You just know her Enchanted Forest side... I know her vulnerable side... She is the sweetest person I've ever met in my whole life when she trusts someone. Hell, the first thing she did in our relationship was confessing that she casted the curse so that she wouldn't start our relationship with lies. So why daring to cheat when she could loose everything she loves?" Both looked ashamed. They didn't knew that. "I just could get her pregnant because I'm her true love. We broke the curse with true love's kiss." "But the curse just broke a month ago.",Granny said. "Yes, that was the moment we knew that we never wanted to be apart again. God... we missed each other although we had talked 30 minutes ago...",Emma chuckled slightly and shook her head.
The door opened and Neal entered the diner. "Emma? Henry is looking for you.",he said and Emma looked up. "Tell him that I need to be alone but that I'll be with him in an hour.",Emma answered and Neal sighed. "He is freaking out because he isn't allowed in Regina's room.",he said and Emma got up. She left the diner and Neal quickly followed her. "Hey, wait!",he called and caught up with her. "How are you?",he asked her and Emma rolled her eyes. "I know exactly that you aren't unhappy that Regina is a child... that her and my children are dead... you are sickening that you don't even feel slight pity even if I don't want that, Neal. Just leave me and my family alone.",Emma said and brushed him off.
He growled unhappy and turned to the direction of his father's shop. He needed to make Emma forget. She had to forget her love for Regina and their children. He entered the shop and walked to the counter where his father stood. "You need to take Emma's memories. She still loves Regina too much.",he said and Gold sighed. "You didn't just assumed that she would leave Regina just because she is a child?",he asked his son and Neal grumbled. "I'll look what I can do." Neal smiled brightly at him and left the shop. Both hadn't seen Belle in the back of the shop listening to them.
