A/N: I'm VERY surprised at all of the follows and responses I'm getting to this story. I honestly thought that it was no good when I first decided that I'd even write it. Here's another chapter for you. I hope you enjoy it!

*Present Day*

Regina, David, Emma, Mary Margaret, and Ruby all sat in the waiting room. Regina sat in a chair with her face in her hands as she worried. David stood, leaning against the wall as Emma and Mary Margaret whispered to eachother trying to forget what they had just seen. Ruby sat next to Regina and awkwardly had her hand on her back, trying to comfort the former Evil Queen.

Everyone stood up as Whale entered the waiting room.

"How is she?" Regina asked, her eyes puffier than before, her mascara smudged.

"She's stable." He answered.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Regina, may I speak with you for a moment? Alone?"

Regina sniffled and she nodded, following him away from everyone else.

"What is it? Can I see her?"

"She's-" He paused.

"What? Whale….you need to tell me. Look, whatever problems we have right now…it needs to be set aside." She looked down and back up at him, finding it hard to finish her statement. "Victor," She took a deep breath, remembering what she saw in the woods. "There was so much blood. I remember when I-" She had to stop again. "What's wrong?"

He hesitated to tell her. "She's in a coma."

"Wh-What?" It was almost as if the wind was knocked right out of her as she found it hard to breathe.

"I-" He didn't know what to say, so he wrapped his arms around her and she let out just one choked sob, a tear escaping Victor's eye.

Soon, everyone else noticed their embrace and the look of pain on each of their faces. Snow put a hand on her heart. Emma's jaw dropped as Ruby put her hand over her mouth and David put his hands on his hips and watched in terror.

"I wanna see her." Regina said, her voice hoarse.

Victor nodded and he led her to the room. As soon as she saw Jasmine with all the tubes and hospital equipment, Regina's heart dropped even farther in her chest than before. She sat in the chair next to the bed and held the young girl's hand. Victor put his hand on Regina's shoulder.

"I-I'm so sorry." Regina's voice cracked as she talked to Jasmine, wishing she could hear her. "I should've protected you." She wiped away the tears that she had realized quietly fell from her brown eyes. "I just- I just wish I could've done everything differently. I wish you could tell me who did this to you."

After Regina put her head on Jasmine's stomach and looked at her for a few minutes, she stood up and gave Victor a sad look. He realized that it was a look telling him that he should hug her again, and he did.

"Victor?"

"Yes?"

She pulled out of his embrace, keeping her arms around his warm torso to look up at him.

"There's one more thing isn't there? She was-"

Regina swallowed, feeling tears well up in her throat. She recalled back in the Enchanted Forest, nights with her late husband, King Leopold.

"Was she-?"

He nodded very gently, his eyes closed. "I'm afraid she was-"

Regina let out another loud breath, a breath of aghast and disbelief. She shook her head as she grew angry.

"We have to find who did this." She said, heartbroken.

"We will, Regina. She knows who did this and when she wakes up-"

"You mean IF she wakes up." Regina said, hopelessly upset, looking at Jasmine.

"No." He put his hand on her chin and turned her head, forcing her to look at him. "I mean when." He pulled her in for another hug and kissed her on the forehead.

"We'll find him, Reggi. Whoever he may be. We'll find justice for your daughter."

*One Week Ago*

Victor went home, thinking about Regina and the baby. "Did she really name the baby after me?" He felt a sense of joy, yet he also felt upset. He couldn't believe that David remembered. Regina had returned Victor's memory about a month ago and he felt special for being the only one who remembered…..aside from Jasmine, who, surprisingly, knew all along.

Jasmine. It was just then that he remembered. He kissed her and she seemed rather upset when she left that day. Should he do talk to her? She had told him not to talk to her unless he was sober….but that was the thing. He wasn't drunk when he kissed her….Yes, he had been drinking, but he wasn't drunk. He had only one or two glasses of Brandy and it usually took him four or five to get even close to being drunk.

He decided he'd go see her.

As he arrived at Granny's, he hesitated to get out of the car. What state could she possibly be in?

He had no idea, but he knew that they'd have to talk about the kiss sometime, and now might be best.

Jasmine was sitting on her bed when she jumped at the knock on the door. She stood and slowly moped over to it. She looked into the peep hole and her heart sank when she saw that it was him.

She sighed.

"What do you want?" She said sadly through the door.

"We need to have a talk."

"Ugh! Go away." She said slowly, without effort. He could tell by the tone in her voice that she actually didn't want him to leave.

"Just…..please let me in, Jasmine."

She put her temple to the door as she leaned against it.

She didn't answer and he also leaned against the door on the other side.

"Jasmine? Please?"

She slowly turned so now her forehead was on the door and she closed her eyes.

"We'll have to talk about this sometime."

She sighed once more and he slowly began to give up on her. He stopped leaning against the door and he took one step to start walking away when he heard the door open behind him.

She stepped aside to let him in and she gently shut it.

A/N: I know that this may seem very twisted right now, but the show's pretty twisted too and what's a good story without awkward surprises like this one, right? Haha! Review, review, review! :D
