Hey guys! Okay so I had this big, long thing typed out that had the review responses in it and everything...then I had to quickly close my tab -.- ugh. So yeah...sorry for taking so long. But I can't re-type this because my mom has decided she wants to stay up out in the living room (Which is where I'm sleeping rn-.-) sorry...

"She can't possibly be alive, Mrs. Locksley." The nurse says dryly, she seemed irritated and was very rude.

I gave her a stern, harsh look, "I think I would know, don't you? Seeing as how I'm the one carrying her, you twit!" I snap. I lay back on the bed with a hard thud, bringing my hand up to my sweaty forehead. I sighed.

She rolls her eyes and focused back on the screen, "No." She says dryly, "She isn't there."

"She has to be! I don't just randomly feel something moving in my stomach!" I shout at her. Tears pricked at the back of my eyes, they wanted to explode on to my face. "She's in there. I know she is!"

"Mrs. Locksley, she may be in there but she's not moving."

I jerked my head around to the screen to look at the baby on it. "This isn't her." I growl.

"Mrs. Locksley, what do you mean? Of course it's-"

"No." I interrupted sternly. I turned myself around to get a better look, "This baby is much too small. The last time we saw her, she was already that big, if not bigger." I turn my head slowly and looked back at the nurse, "What kind of fool do you think I am?" I say, immediately getting angered.

She looks at me confusedly, she was faking. "I don't know what you're talk-"

"Who are you!?" I shout, demanding answers right here, right now.

"I'm just a nurse…"

"Who are you?!" I shout again, my voice becoming deeper and my words sharper.

She narrows her eyes at me, "I'm just…the nurse…" She growls.

My lip curled, I plunged forward towards her and reached out for her shirt. My knuckles wrapped around her white, clean pressed collar and I pulled her inches away from my face. I gritted my teeth, "If you don't tell me who the hell you are right now, I will make your life so miserable that you'll wish you were dead." I growl through clenched teeth. I feel Robin's hand lay on my back, he was silently telling me to calm down a little.

She continued to look into my eyes with worry in her own, then a devious smirk swiped across her face. She laughs.

"I knew you weren't just the nurse. Now who are you?" I demand.

She tilts her head over and shifts her weight to one side, shaking her shoulders back and forth as if she didn't really want to say. She kept her mouth closed.

I lit a fireball in my hand and brought it inches away from the side of her head. She winced, looking from the corner of her eye. "Who…are…you?" I sneer again.

Her small smirk turns into a devilish smile, "I'm your mother."

My mouth drops open, my eyes study hers. Suddenly, my grip has nothing in it, she's engulfed in purple smoke.

Cora appears and laughs loudly and maniacally, "You little fool. I don't know how I could've raised such a foolish daughter!"

Robin immediately runs around the bed coming between me and Cora, "Don't talk to her like th-" He's interrupted by Cora extending her hand, throwing him against the wall. Way too close to the window.

"Robin!" I shout nervously, seeing him laying on the ground.

"Quiet." Cora demands.

"Why are you here?" I ask, ignoring her command.

She stiffens and sticks her nose into the air, pursing her lips. She begins to walk towards me, now looking down at the ground with that same, evil smile she wears. She takes a deep breath and looks back up at the wall, "I've come here by my sister's commands."

"Your sister?" I ask. I closed my eyes and shook my head confusedly, "You don't have a sister…"

"Just as you thought you didn't." She grumbles, now glaring at me. She walks closer to me again, "I've come here for a pick-up. You have something she wants."

"How are you even here? You're supposed to be dead!"

"No thanks to my own daughter!" She snaps, "My sister, she brought me back. Just for this. If I fail, she'll let me die again. If I succeed, well…it won't be good for you."

"And why? Why do you want to work for her?"

"She's giving me my life back, you intrepid daughter!" She shouts, her hands clench behind her back. She breathes deep and calms herself slightly, "Besides, I don't answer to you."

"Yes, you do." I say in a low tone. Before Cora can answer, I push both hands forward and slam her into the wall, leaving a crumbling hole. She tried moving, but I already had her pinned down with magic, "Now why?! What do you want from me?!"

"My granddaughter."

My mouth falls open, I felt tears prick the back of my eyes like needles. My hands instinctively fall to my stomach, covering it with folded arms. "No…no! You aren't taking her!"

"She's dead anyways, Regina." She growls.

"She is not dead! I don't believe you! You've…you've done something to her!" I yell from across the room.

Robin starts waking up now, he groans while leaning against the wall.

"I've done nothing. You did that all yourself. Fool." She hisses.

I bit at my bottom lip and looked down at my stomach. Could it really be lifeless? Was she actually dead? I couldn't believe Cora. She's lied to me so many times. Cora used words and twisted them, as did Ursula. Did…I did that to myself. Maybe she was dead momentarily? But what brought her back? Thoughts were swarming in my head, it was making it hard to concentrate on anything else. I began to feel vulnerable again, maybe Cora hadn't twisted words. My up-and-down emotions were now making me cry, I watched as tears fell from my face onto my stomach once more.

She moved.

"Robin!" I shout, still watching my stomach, "She's there! She's alive! Cora…my mother lied!" I yelled.

Robin snapped out of his haze at these words. He got up as quick as possible and ran to my bedside. He laid his hand on the side of my stomach, one hand on my shoulder. He felt for a second.

Nothing.

"I don't feel her…" Robin says sympathetically.

"But…she just…she moved!"

I hear Cora huff in the corner.

Robin had a lonely tear on his cheek, he bent over and kissed my stomach. "I'm sorry…" He says quietly.

She moved again.

He stood up and I saw it. A tear drop of his on my stomach. "Feel her now, Robin. She's moving. Right now!" I demand.

He quickly put his hand on my stomach again, and to his surprise, she was moving.

"Oh my…oh my-"

"She's not! It's a trick." Cora shouts. My magic was weakening, she was almost able to move.

"Kiss her again, Robin." I say quietly.

He does as he's told and reaches down, planting a kiss on my stomach.

She moved again.

"She's alive. She is. I know it!" I shout happily, tears still coming from my eyes. My stomach began glowing. What was this? "What's going on?" I ask, fear in my voice.

Robin rubbed my stomach, "Your magic…she has it." He says, eyes wide. "She has magic, Regina. She's giving you her magic!"

Cora was struggling in the corner to get out of her restraints, and before I could gather enough magic to stop her, she broke it. She stood up quickly. The door opened briskly and another woman fled in. Vanessa. Now known as Ursula. She had a mask and a machine in her hand, and she was moving fast toward me. A shot comes from behind her, an arrow flies through the air toward Robin. I was caught off guard, I couldn't catch it soon enough. It hit him in the upper arm, right near his shoulder.

"Ah!" He screams out in pain. He grabs his shoulder hard.

I was panicking, trying to think of what I could do. I look back to where Cora was…where Cora was supposed to be. Instead, she and Ursula were standing at my bedside. They held the mask over my face, and in no time I was blacked out once again.

"Nurses? Is Mrs. Locksley ready for the surgery?" Dr. Whale asks as he enters the OR.

The shape-shifted Cora nodded.

"Alright," Whale squints his eyes to look at her name tag, "Alright, Betty. Let's get this over with." He says.

Shape-shifted Ursula and shape-shifted Cora give each other a small, oblivious smile. They walk to where Whale was standing, down by Regina's legs. They walk on each side of him, give each other a nod, and "Betty" knocks him out with magic.

Whale falls to the floor.

Cora moves her hand in the air, aiming it towards Regina's body. She was completely out, they gave her anesthesia "for the surgery". Her legs were held open by straps, Whale was preparing for the removal of their daughter. Cora continues moving her hand, slowly bringing the baby from Regina.

"How will this work? The child will be too young to survive." Ursula complains.

Cora shoots her little sister a glare, "We have magic, dear sister, you can fast forward a life. We'll make her live." She says, still moving her hand.

The door slams open. Emma, Gold, and Robin barge in.

Cora stops and looks at them surprised. "I didn't expect spectators, but I guess it will do." She says. She thrusts her hand toward Emma, then lifts the blonde up in the air. Gold throws magic at Cora, catching her off-guard.

Robin's shoulder was covered in blood, you could clearly see he was in pain. He winced as he grabbed an arrow from his pouch on his back, putting it up to his bow. He aimed at Cora, "My arrows never miss."

"Cocky are we?" Ursula taunts him.

Robin aims and lets go of his grip. The arrow launches over Regina, straight toward Cora. She ducks, and it hits Ursula.

"I guess that'll do." Robin mumbles.

Ursula laughs and takes the arrow from her arm, "These can't kill me. Only one thing can kill me."

Cora smiles at Robin, "Better luck next time." She says.

Emma and Gold are up in the air, completely useless because of Cora's powers.

Cora goes back to what she was doing, concentrating on Regina to bring the baby out. Regina flinches, she's waking up. Cora moves her fingers quicker, trying to speed this up.

Robin sees what she's doing, he sees Gold and Emma up in the air. Why couldn't Gold even defeat her? This was unheard of. Robin rushed to Cora, tackling her to the ground. He let out a grunt from his mouth, he was obviously in pain. He drew his fist back, preparing his strong hand to meet her jaw. She threw him off of her with her magic, he landed on the ground across the room with a thud.

Cora stood up and brushed herself off momentarily, then continued to somehow extract Regina's child from her. Her hand wiggled fast now, Regina's body was convulsing. She had to be in pain, it had to hurt.

"Stop!" Robin mumbled as loud as he could muster. His shoulder was aching so badly, he couldn't hardly concentrate.

Cora simply laughed and continued her extraction. Robin tried stepping, but all he could do was crawl. He crawled to Regina's side, pulling himself up by her bed. He knew he couldn't stop Cora, he would've had to use magic to stop this from happening. He simply leaned over her limp body, he cried. He was vulnerable and broken- crying was all he could do. Her body shook underneath him, he held her tightly in his arms and kissed her forehead.

"Get off of my daughter, you fool." Cora snaps.

Robin ignores her comment, knowing she's too preoccupied to use magic on him. He moves down and kisses her stomach, tears land onto it.

Suddenly, Cora falls back to the ground. Robin looks up, just in time to see a purple ray of light bursting from Regina's stomach. What was going on here? Gold and Emma's eyes only shifted, as neither of them could move still from Cora's magical grip.

"What was that?!" Cora snaps, trying to get up. To her dismay, she was literally stuck to the ground. Her hands were glued down with some kind of purple, sticky substance.

Robin didn't care what it was, he needed to find help. He began to drag himself out of the door as quickly as he could.

"Not so fast, dear." Ursula taunts from inside the room. Robin had forgotten about her. "You're not going anywhere." She says, plunging her hands toward him.

Nothing worked.

Ursula looked at her hands, then tried again.

No magic.

Robin ran as fast as his body allowed him to until he reached someone who could help. Another doctor that worked in the hospital. They rushed inside the room to where Regina was still out cold, and where Cora lay- stuck to the ground. She was disgruntled, obviously, and was struggling to get out of the stickiness. Robin laughed at her.

"I always thought the stories Regina had told me about you were a little over-exaggerated, Cora, but now…now I see they're all true. Killing a baby, Cora? That's just absolutely horrid!" He yells at her, still gripping his shoulder from the eminent pain pulsing through it.

She huffed and rolled her eyes, she had no words. Absolutely speechless.

"I see why she wanted to run off with that man. I see why she killed the king. I see why she didn't kill Snow White after she killed you, Cora. You're an evil, selfish woman. Only using people to get where you want to be."

Cora was about to speak, but Robin put his hand up and somehow, she stopped.

"You don't get to speak any more, Cora. You are a horrible person for trying to take your own granddaughter and kill her. Whether you were going to 'bring her back' or not, you still did kill her. And you didn't even have to stop and think about it once, did you? You don't care about anyone but yourself. You never have, and you never will."

By now, security was coming through the door. They took a small knife from their one holster and cut the substance from Cora's hands, already handcuffing her before she was able to stand up. Gold and Emma were on the ground now, and he used magic on Cora to stop her from doing any magic until they can get her in a cell made for her.

Robin's attention turned back onto Regina. She was still out of it, long after the mask was taken off of her face. Robin shook her a few times, "Regina? Regina, dear, please wake up. The baby is okay…she's fine." Robin says. He watched Ursula and Cora being taken out of the room in handcuffs and smiles. He looks back down at his limp wife, "Regina?! Please…wake up." He says. He put her hand on the side of her stomach, not realizing where he was putting it. He shook her, "Regina?" He repeats once more.

My eyes began to flutter open, "Robin…?" I say confusedly.

"Regina, stay with me…" Robin says.

I place my hand on my stomach, I felt the baby move. She woke me up. My eyes were so heavy, I couldn't hardly bear to keep them open. There was a doctor, other than Whale, rushing around me. What had gone on while I was out? I knew where I was, I was in the operating room. My legs were held open, I was getting the D&C. I already felt my baby inside of me, I knew it hadn't happened yet. Thankfully.

"She's losing blood…fast." The doctor says, invading my personal privacy and looking in between my legs. I didn't care. I was too exhausted to care, I was fading out.

"What are you going to do?" Robin asks, standing by my side.

I see Whale on the floor. "What…"

"Shh, don't speak. Don't use more energy than you absolutely have to." Robin says, trying to be helpful.

I so badly wanted to slap him for telling me to be quiet. But I didn't. Mostly just because I didn't have the energy to. I felt dizzy and weak, sick to my stomach. My eyes were closing.

Robin shook me again, "Regina…Regina stay awake. Don't go to sleep, Regina…" He warns, saying my name over and over again.

I moaned, I couldn't stay awake. Exhaustion was taking over. The doctor and nurses took my legs from the things that held them up. Everything was becoming hazy again.

"Robin…" I mumble, trying to ask what was going on.

He rubs my shoulder gently and reassuringly, "It'll be okay, Regina. She's alive…and you'll be okay. The doctors are going to help you." He says, trying to sound calm.

I exhale, my eyes shut.

"Regina?" Stay awake, Regina!" He demands.

I was gone. My senses were not there anymore. I was out once again.

"We need to get her to stop bleeding. Whatever Cora did must've affected her internally." Dr. Whale yells, he woke up soon after Cora was taken from the room. "Robin, we need you to wait in the other room while we do this." He says. He saw the saddened look on Robin's face, "I'm sorry, it's just the rules we have to follow." He explains softly, with guilty eyes.

Robin looks at his wife one more time before they wheel her away on the gurney. He watches them as they turn a corner with her, around into yet another examination room. He stood there for a few moments, then a nurse came to him.

"Your shoulder…" She says, examining it closely.

Robin unglues his eyes from the now empty spot where Regina just was. He turns to look at her, his shoulder shocks with pain. He now remembered he was injured. "Yes." He says quietly, feeling as though his heart hurt more than his shoulder.

"We need to put some stitches in you, Mr. Locksley. Let's go do that before it gets infected." She says, guiding him away from where he wanted to just wait forever. He reluctantly, finally moved his feet along with the nurses. She took him into a room and cut the shirt from around his bloody wound, "The other doctor will be in to put the stitches in, okay?" She says, cleaning around the wound.

Robin nods. His heart still was heavy.

The nurse sighs and throws the swab away that she was using, "He'll be right in." She says, exiting the room.

Robin stared at the wall blankly. How could he let this happen? It was his fault, he should've held her back from that fight. He's put her and his daughter in so much danger now, possibly so much danger that she couldn't survive. He threw his head forward onto his hands, trying not to break down and sob.

He put Marian in harm's way, now he did the same with Regina.

Regina's heart was beating, but it was sporadic and irregular. The machine beeped every time her heart beats, and a higher pitched beep comes when the baby's heart beats. The baby's heart was pounding fast, she had to have been scared. Doctors rushed around Regina's body, trying to find out what was making her bleed.

They couldn't find anything.

Regina's heart began beating faster and faster, still irregularly. "What's going on? Why is her heart rate up?!" Whale asks frantically, concentrating on his own job he was doing.

Nurses were messing with the machine, "I don't know, doctor. She…it just went up!" One said, focusing intently on the screen.

Whale shook his head and walked to the machine quickly. He figured they had done something wrong, they were just being inexperienced. "I just don't get why you people-"

He was interrupted. Regina's eyes opened sharply.

"Mrs. Locksley?" The nurse asks, shocked to see her awake.

I stare at the faces around me for a moment, seeing where I was. I was confused and dazed, "Where…" I say, batting my eyes.

"Regina, you're bleeding badly. We haven't figured out what was wrong, but your heart rate just shot up." Whale explains.

"My heart rate?" I ask, confused.

He nods quickly, "We can't find out what happened." He says. He looks at the smaller machine that monitored the baby's heart rate. It had slowed down.

I noticed him looking at the machine intently, I didn't understand what all this was. "What's going on?" I ask, regaining my strength a little.

"Don't panic, Regina. It'll all be okay." Whale says.

That's what Robin would say to me. Robin. "Where's my husband?!" I shout, becoming nervous. I started to get up, moving my upper body off of the bed.

"No, Regina!" Whale says, pushing his hand against my shoulder, "If you move, it could harm the baby more. Don't move." He orders.

I stared at him for a moment, wishing I didn't have to take orders from him in this situation. I reluctantly laid myself back down onto the bed, softly and slowly. "What's going on?" I ask a little calmer.

"Please explain." Whale tells the nurse as he walks down to in between my legs.

"What the hell are you doing, Whale?!" I shout angrily.

"Regina, I told you. You're bleeding very badly, a loss of blood can also hurt the baby as well as you! Now please, let me do my job and be the professional I am." He says sternly. He meant business.

I huffed and rolled my eyes. I'm pretty sure this was a violation of privacy as I felt his hands go places I didn't want them to be.

"Mrs. Locksley, your mother was extracting your daughter while you were under anesthetics. She injured something inside of you, and we're now trying to get your bleeding to stop." She explains as sweetly as possible.

I didn't need sweet. I needed answers, "Where's my husband?"

"He was shot with an arrow, he's getting treated as we speak." She says, sounding a bit intimidated by me.

I laid my head back hard onto the small, blocky pillow.

"I think I've found what's wrong." Whale says, standing up straight.

The other doctor walked in after a knock on the door, Robin had his face buried in his hands still.

"Let's get this all sewed up." He says, walking towards him.

Robin looked up from his hands, his face was red, but he hadn't cried.

The doctor gave him a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry for all that's happened, Mr. Locksley."

Robin inhaled deep and shook his head, looking away from the doctor.

"My name is Doc. Just Doc." He says.

Robin turned and looked at him again, realizing he was one of the dwarfs. He nodded at him, needing no reply.

Doc took his things out and rolled his chair to Robin. He began working on his shoulder, Robin was in a lot of pain.

"How long did you know her before you married?" Doc asks, trying to take Robin's mind off of the painful wound.

"Who?" He asks.

"Regina, how long did you know her?"

He sighs. "I knew of her for a long time. The evil queen always was trying to have me arrested. Then we met when we were in the Enchanted Forest again for the year, then we forgot about all of that, came back to Storybrooke and…well, fell in love." Robin says, daydreaming now about the first time Regina told him she loved him.

Doc smiles, concentrating on the wound. "That's nice. And I know you're expecting, congratulations."

Robin tries to smile, "Yes. We are…" This broke his heart more, "I just hope…" He stopped talking.

"Hope what?" Doc asks.

"I hope they're both okay." Robin says, "I don't know how I could ever live without Regina. She's the only one who can keep me grounded anymore, she loves me for who I am. She loves my son…our son. She loves him so much…she risked…she risked her life for him. And for our daughter." Robin says, staring vacantly at the floor.

Doc smiles softly, "It sounds like she's a good mother, then." He pauses, "Especially for an Evil Queen…"

Robin waits a moment to reply, he's forgotten the pain. "She's a wonderful mother." He replies, stars in his eyes.

Dr. Whale was finishing violating my personal space, the bleeding was finally stopping. My hands laid softly on my stomach. I was rubbing it back and forth, mentally singing to my little girl.

"Regina, we're going to move you into another room. Both of your heartbeats are steadying now, you're going to be okay soon." Whale says softly.

I smile at him, the hormone changes were currently making me giddy. "Thank you." I say, way kinder and nicer than I thought I would be. "Is Robin okay?"

He nods, "He's just fine. When we move you into a room we'll send him in there."

I suddenly looked more forward to getting another room. "Okay." I reply quietly.

Whale nods and walks out of the room. Soon, nurses come in to roll me to another room. I wasn't allowed to get up yet, and for the next week. A whole week of me not being allowed to get up. Great.

"Regina?" Robin says softly, peeking around the doorway and into my room.

I had my hands laid on my stomach, I was staring caringly at it. I looked up at him with a smile and happy tears in my eyes, "Robin…" I whisper, more tears come to my eyes.

He runs up to me and wraps me tightly in his arms. His hands stroked the back of my hair, "I'm so sorry, Regina…I should've fought…I should've-"

"Robin, dear, it's okay." I say, hushing him from blaming himself. "It's not your fault. I knew better."

His head came unglued from my shoulder, he looked at me with tired eyes, "I put you in harms way."

"Nobody put me in harm's way except me." I say sharply, "I knew better than to get involved with her. And then Cora…" I shake my head and look down, "I never should've fought her."

He reached in for another hug and squeezed me so tightly. His body trembled. "I love you." He whimpers, rubbing his fingers through my hair still.

"I love you, too." I say, squeezing him back.

CORA AND URSULA...SISTERS...WUT...

Please leave your thoughts! :) thanks.

Much love,

G.
