Finally Waking Up

Bright blue eyes met Mary Margret's hazel eyes and a soft gasp of air escaped the man's mouth. Everyone was gathered around as Ruby and Regina joined them. " It's okay. You're okay. " Mary Margret said gentle as she helped him lean up. For a split second she thought she knew him but it was gone the instant it came. Everyone seem to unfreeze as they realize what was going on. Regina pushed her way through, grabbing Henry.

" Henry Mills how dare you run off like that? Ever since you been around her, you having been listening to me. " She snarled. Emma narrowed her eyes at the women.

" My name is Emma." She said under her breath. Ruby came beside Mary Margret.

"I called for help they are on their way. " Ruby said and right on time, man came rushing in. Regina looked uninterested and pulled Henry with her.

"Let's go. " She said. She had to get home to start planning a way to get this girl to leave. She knew one way to push her buttons and that was to make her believe she was unwanted. Regina smirked to herself . Soon this would all be normal again. " It is time we get things back how there are suppose to be, first by getting you back on track. You are NOT allow to see that Emma girl anymore. " Regina told him as the pair walked out the forest.

Back at the hospital

"How is he?" Mary Margret asked with a demanding tone. Emma hurried after her. Everything was happening all at once. She wanted to talk to Henry. She had questions. How come he woke up when she read to him? She knew the answer deep inside her but didn't want to admit it. She didn't want to believe she finally found her parents.

" He is weak and we still don't understand how he woke up or why he was in the coma to begin with." the doctor told them. Emma was trying to see him but there was a lot of people circling him. She frowned. Some reason she was worried about him. She was the reason he had been out there in the beginning. If she had just waited with him and he hadn't be alone, he wouldn't have almost die. She backed up and try to give herself some distant but Mary Margret had turn in time to see her.

" Hey where are you going? " She asked and Emma frowned. She still wasn't happy with Mary Margret. She shook her head.

" I am the reason he could have died. I no good for this town, everyone will be better off when you find me a family outside of this town. " She said looking at her hands. Mary Margret grabbed her chin so she could look at her.

" It isn't your fault. You had no idea he would run off like that. You saved him. I don't know how. But somehow you touched him. Like you touched me, Emma. " She said and Emma smiled. No one ever told her that. It reached deep inside and tugged at her heart.

With all her might she had to fight to keep her walls up not wanting to get hurt but Mary Margret made her realize she was still a kid who needed someone to care for her. " In the short time I have known you, I realize how much this town needs someone like you. Just as much as you need them. You aren't leaving. I don't care what Regina said. Now no name is waking up and I bet you could help him remember more. " Mary Margret said linking arms with Emma who was now speechless. She was surprise how close to the truth those words Mary Margret said.

" How can I help? I am sure I can't get lucky twice. " She said as she walked inside the door but Mary Margret didn't come any closer. She was starring at him. Something inside her was trying to turn but nothing happened. She blinked and backed up. " I think the only way this can work is if you are allow with him. That was how you helped him before. I will be out here. " She said turning around to go sit down.

" Mary Margret!" She called but the women was already gone to sit. Emma shook her head and walked over to sit on the chair next to the man. She opened the book and continue the story she had read to him last night. It continue with a story about a women he was supposed to marry. Emma scanned through the chapter until she found the one explaining how Prince Charming and Snow White came together finally and able to be together.

" Oh David, that was your- I mean Prince Charming real name. " She said catching herself from what she just said. Then suddenly his eyes opened and he starred at her. She gasped but tried to hold back her surprise. She turned to see if anyone was there. Then faced him. " David?" She asked and he just nodded. Her eyes went wide. She thought she seen a smile. " Do you know me?" She asked half hoping.

" No.. but I seen you in my dream. I heard your voice last night. The story about Prince Charming and Snow White seem familiar.." David voice cracked. Emma nodded slowly.

" You probably heard it as a kid. " She said tilting her head. He just shook his head.

" I can't remember anything. I am not even sure how I remember my name. When you said it, something clicked. " He said then looked at her sweetly. " What was a young girl like you doing reading to me anyways?" He asked in a tone that matched Mary Margret's when she too spoke to her. She down at her hands as he reached to grab one.

" Right now isn't the time to explain. But I just felt a need to do something for you plus I couldn't sleep." She said not looking at him. She got up and backed away. " I think I will go get Mary Margret she will be happy to continue the stories with you if you like. She was the one who saved you. " Emma said moving toward the door. It was all too much for her. She basically ran out. She felt the same connection with him as she did with Mary Margret and it was too much to bare.

Mary Margret wanted to go after the kid but she figured she needed space instead she went to the door of the room. The man was awake and was looking at her. She tried to take a deep breath but her chest felt heavy. She could feel her heart pounding under her rib cage. She slowly walked toward him where Emma had been and sat down.

" I am David. The girl helped me remember. I remembered you as well. You kissed me. " He said with a smirked. He smiled at her with all teeth. She chuckled as well as blushing.

" You're charming, but wrong. I didn't kiss you not in that sense. I was trying to do CPR. So wipe the smirk off your face. " She said shaking her head. He just smiled at her but let the smirk go.

" The girl, is she yours?" He asked as he glanced at her. She looked nice and very familiar but he knew his memory would come back soon and maybe he would know her. She smiled softly and shook her head.

" No in a way I wish. She grew up the last thirteen years going between foster homes. She is a strong girl and very nice. I took her in and promised to find her a family. " Mary Margret explained.

" Why don't you take her in?" He asked which was a very good questions. She looked down at her hands which he noticed was the same motion the girl did.

" Her name is Emma by the way. And I am not sure I could give her, her best chance... I think she needs two parents. " She said shrugged her shoulders. She noticed him watching and she blushed.

" I can tell you care about her. I may not have my memory back but it doesn't take an expert to see you are the right parent for her. But understand she probably needs time. " He said softly and Mary Margret could tell he was starting to drift off. She patted his hands and got up.

" I will come by tomorrow." She said and walked out the room. Her head was race. Some much had happened. But one thing was for sure she had to find Emma. Maybe he was right but she wasn't sure that now was the right time. But she knew one thing, Emma needed her. She figured the girl wouldn't have went to the loft. It only took her ten minutes to child the small hill at the edge of the town and see the blonde headed girl sitting at the peak. Mary Margret walked over and simply sat down. " Are you okay sweetheart?" She asked.

Emma hadn't expected Mary Margret to come looking for her but she was glad she did. She turned to look at her and smiled. " Yeah now. " She said leaned into Mary Margret just a bit. She didn't pull away when Mary Margret wrapped her arm around her. It was the simple things that made Emma realize she could finally be happy.

Meanwhile

"Who is there?" David called from his bed. Standing there was Regina looking smug. It took her all day to finally figure out her next plan. She needed to get rid of Emma by showing her that she was control. This was her town and no one would take that from her. So when managed to get enough magic from their land for something she knew would put her on the winning side.

" It's just me, Regina. " She said in the most fake loving tone she had. Without a second more, she bent down to kiss him on the cheek. A few memories came flooding to him. He gasped as he remembered her or at least what he thought were his memories. He looked at her with mixed emotions. All of his memories weren't back but enough to know who she was. She could only be one person, his fiance'.
