They watched as Tamara ran with Greg fleeing the crime scene, but it didn't take back the crime they did who lied in the cell nearby. As they were watching Tamara and Greg flee Neal took the keys from David hand which made everyone turn around; Neal walked down two cells he felt drawn to a single cell particular Emma's. He lifted the keys up to the lock and inserted them with a huge click; he slowly opened the door. He walked in slightly and when he saw her lying there he lost it he crumpled against the wall of the cell slowly falling not believing it sobbing. Snow and Charming walked in too they saw their baby there lying still after searching for two days. Two days that's all it took to do this and they couldn't do anything to stop it; Snow fell to the ground so did charming their little girl Emma. Why. Regina saw Emma and she covered her hand over her mouth to stop sobbing Hook held her as she cried into his shoulder. Rumple cried as well but not much he saw what was done to Emma and he cried, Belle sobbed as loudly as snow and Regina she held onto Rumple tightly.
Neal crawled over to Emma, he flipped her over so she was on her back; he held her close to him cried while rocking her holding her tight. His tears dropped of his face and onto Emma's. "I'm so sorry Em's" he cried "I wanted to find you so much, and I was too late I failed you" he put his head against her cold one.
Snow moved over to her child she cupped Emma's face in her hand looking her over, she looked asleep even peaceful but she wasn't in there. Snow kissed Emma on the head hoping it would wake her up with true loves kiss, she looked back at her daughter it didn't work Emma was still gone; snow sobbed into Emma's body "Emma momma loves you, daddy loves you". Charming went over to his baby girl, he went to her forehead and kissed her as well, it didn't work either. Rumplestilskin walked over to his son and sat down next to him, He conjured up Emma's baby blanket and gave it to snow and Charming. Snow took it with shaky hands and touched it admiring it all over, then placed it over Emma's body only showing her face. Regina and Hook went over to the Savior, Regina took one of Emma's hand in her own and kissed it. Hook just stared at her 'Swan' he wished he had saved her just like he wished he saved all the lost boys on Neverland from the Shadow.
Neal was still holding onto Emma tightly but not too tight, he held her fully in his arms. He shed one finally tear which fell upon Emma's face, the tear shimmered on Emma's face making a bright glow surround her body. Everyone eyes were on Emma as she glowed in Neal's arms and then it receded from once it came until it was a tear again. Neal went to her wrist trying not hurt her more than she was. He found a pulse "I found a pulse but it's very faint it might not last long we have to hurry we can still save her. David looked toward Neal he nodded; David took Emma from Neal's arms and carried her, "Regina can you send us to the hospital quickly Please" he begged her with a quickness with pleading eyes. Regina waved her hand and soon they were out side the hospital; David ran in with everyone on his tail.
"I NEED HELP QUICKLY MY DAUGHTER IS DYING SAVE HER PLEASE" they rushed over a stretcher and David place her on it. A bunch of Nurses swarmed Emma "What happened" "She got kidnapped and we just found her after two days, we have no idea what they did to her" David said to them ,as they wheeled her down to the exam room. They all followed her snow took Emma by the hand as they rolled her down the hallway "Emma listen to me sweetheart, don't leave us please" snow was still crying. They went down the hallway they could see the double doors when they reached them Emma's hand slipped from snows and was limping off the side of the stretcher. "I'm sorry you can't go pass this point" a couple of nurses stopped the group. Everyone went to sit down but not snow she went to the reception desk "Hi my daughter was brought in just moments ago, do you know how long until someone will tell us something. Anything." Snow all but begged the woman." I will let Doctor Whale know" Snow looked grateful to her "Thank you" before she could Walk away the receptionist said "I hope the Sheriff makes it, she didn't deserve what happened to her at all" Snow nodded to her then walked to the waiting room, sat down next to charming and did what she could only do now. Wait.
They wheeled her into the exam room. They hooked her up to machines Whale heard Emma was brought in and went to help immediately, the heart monitor flat lined "She has cuts and burns, her brain probably has damage, her ribs are broken. She coded get the paddles" A nurse ripped open Emma's shirt and put pads down, Whale charged the paddles and put it on Emma's chest "Clear" he felt for a pulse. "Come on" he tried again still nothing.
Ten minutes went by "Come on Emma, don't give up now" they tried again then her heart started again with a steady beat,Whale sighed happily. Emma's eyes were fluttering open she saw whale and noticed her surroundings. "Where was I. Where was I" Emma said grabbing onto him to make sure he was real. "Hey it's okay you had an accident, Everything is going to be fine you're at the hospital" she was still grabbing onto him,Emma looked at him scared for her life. Whale took a syringe and put into Emma's arm. "It's okay Emma, relax, sleep" Emma slowly closed her eyes again and let him go.
"Her head got some hemorrhaging she needs surgery quickly, let's go" he motioned to the nurses to wheel her out of the exam room into the operating room.
They finally finished after 11 hours of work they finished surgery and the testing; Whale was relieved that Emma was going to be okay. She was still sleeping from the drugs, and was going to live; he finally went to the waiting room to talk to them. When he reached the waiting room he immediately saw Snow,David,Regina, Gold,Belle,Ruby,Henry, Granny,The dwarfs, and Neal. Snow noticed him right away she shot up he slowly walked over to them with a grim look on his face. They noticed this and were frightened, Henry saw Dr. Whale and stood up quickly too; he was wiping tears from his face .
"How's my mom" he asked frightened he looked to Emma's parents they understood. Neal took henry to sit down again and talked to him while he held him close until he fell asleep. Snow and David followed Whale down the corridor to an exam room to talk ;"I am going to be honest with you on everything that happened because I have the feeling you would want to know. I didn't want henry to hear this for a reason that he will get nightmares" Snow and David nodded to Whale to continue, he turned on a viewing board. "Her heart stopped she was gone for more than 10 minutes without a heartbeat we were eventually able to revive her and when we did she woke up,She grabbed at me to probably make sure I was real, and kept repeating asking "Where she was. I had to knock her out again to rush her into surgery." Snow clutched David hand tight for strength, Emma was dead but they saved her.
Whale put up brain scans, and x-rays "In the results on the scans we found that 60% of her body is covered in cuts, bruises, burns. I have no idea what they did to her but we found this while in operation for her cerebral hemorrhaging, it seems to be a tracking device we turned it off so it should be non transitive, she has broken ribs and bones which will heal given time or magic" He stared at them snow would be crying but she ran out of tears hours ago. "Can we see her" he said almost begging in a whisper. "She's in room 815 still sleeping from the surgery, she might wake up soon, if you need anything call my pager or phone. When Emma wakes up send the nurses for me" he left them there going to help people who were injured during the rescue.
They walked to Emma's room not bothering to go get everyone else, they needed to be with their daughter alone; it had been a long two days and after what happened today. David walked up to the door and turned the handle; there she was lying there only this time her chest was going up and down.
Snow went to Emma's side and sat down and took her hand. She started rubbing circles in her palm; she didn't want to relive the moment when Emma's hand slipped from hers she wasn't letting go. David went over to his daughter and brushed back her hair from her face, he got a clear view of the bandage around her head from the surgery. They were finally with Emma again, only problem was she wasn't awake. So they waited.
David shortly went to the waiting room to get everyone; Neal went up to him very quickly. "How is she, hows Emma" he asked fear in his voice. "She um, is sleeping she had surgery for the damage they did to her brain,She had internal bleeding but Whale managed to stop it. 60% of her body is covered in cuts,burns,bruises plus her ribs and some bones are broken, they did all they could now it's up to Emma now" he looked at everyone in the group trying to avoid telling them she was dead for 10 minutes . Neal got straight to the point "what aren't you telling us" he stared at David, David saw Neal wasn't going to let it go. "Her heart stopped, she was dead for ten minutes. Then she just came back on her own" he said to them; Neal put his hands over his mouth just like when he found out about henry in New York.
"Papa can you heal her, Please" he asked his father. "Of course Bae but I can only heal her body not her head. Head injuries are beyond magic and if I tried there's a risk of her not remembering anything" he nodded to his father than made his way to David.
"I want to see her David" he looked to Emma's father "I need to see her" he pleaded with him he led everyone to Emma's room. Neal picked up Henry over his shoulder, he put his head in the crock of his father's neck still sleeping with dried tears on his face,Regina brushed the hair out of henry's face while walking.
Gold knew where Emma was exactly which made him feel bad that she was deprived of peace especially the journey she has to soon make. They opened the door slowly to snow and Emma; Emma was still sleeping Neal put henry down in another chair and went over to Emma. He took her other hand "I'm sorry Emma, it should have been me" he put his lips on her forehead. Gold went over to Emma and put his hand above her body it glowed purple then it was over, there was no change in Emma.
Later on after everyone left a nurse looked to Mary and David and smiled sympathetically , she went over to Emma's I.V and put in more drugs for the pain. Snow stroked Emma's hair to calm her and let her know,her mom and Dad were there with her and she was safe.
The nurse nodded to them and she left the room; "Do you want to go home David I'm going to stay here with her" Snow looked toward her husband. "No, I'm staying too, she would want us both here when she wakes up" they sat in chairs next to Emma's bed and stayed with her all night protecting her, because no one was going to harm her ever again and they would make sure of it.
