'Do not look like a train hit you! You wanted a status for Regina to be able to stay here! Despite the fact that I want and need her here! So there you have your fucking status. I want to be done with this, I had already enough for one day!'
Regina, was, well confused would fit the best into the situation. Emma wanted her, no needed her there? That, that was more than she ever would have expected. Whale had quite the same face expression on his face, although he quite fast regained his conciousness.
'Ok, sure fine, we will write this down into your file, also would you like Regina to be informed, if anything happens to you in the future? And is she to be kept updated about all of your exams?'
'Yes, and yes. And thank you, can we please start now?'
Emma just wanted to go home, she wanted to have a shower and sleep for a week. Thankfully she felt a lot better while Regina was holding her hand. With that thought Emma realized that, Regina was holding her hand the whole time.
'I do not want to be the bad guy dear, but can you do that that simple? I mean, didn't you had anyone else as a 'to be informed person' ?'
'No, I never put someone in this line before Regina, you are the first person I actually trust.'
'Oh.' Regina was pale, that was something she wasn't prepared for. It made her proud and angry at the same time.
'Well Emma, Regina if you would please follow me into the examination room. Before we go inside, please let me ask this here so I can prepare everything, if necessary. Well, how to say that Emma, was there besides the very visible physical violence, also a sexual assault?'
Emma, was answering Whale, but Regina was long lost, zoomed completely out of the situation, she imagined how she would have to explain to Henry that some people deserve to die.
'Regina, Regina do you here me? Do you want to be present at the exam? Emma said that it would be fine, but you seemed lost in thoughts.'
'He touched you without your permission?'
'Regina, I will tell you what happened, I swear. But I really need to get done with it. I am tired and I just want to sleep. Please, let us talk later.'
She didn't answer how could she, she wanted to do everything she could to make Emma feel safe. Despite the fact, that she had already decided that she would kill the pirate, she just wanted Emma to be ok.
Whale took them to the examination room, prepared everything and took two nurses with him. He explained to Emma that before taking any exam, he would always ask for her permission, that he promised that it wouldn't hurt and that she was safe.
It took them but an hour to finish all of the necessary exams, Emma was exhausted. In the meanwhile Regina would watch Whale like a Hawke. It was pure torture to watch all of this, she felt so helpless, so useless.
While they were waiting inside the room, they started to hear loud noises in the hallway. Both got tense, but Regina look at Emma with that confidence and smiled.
'I am going to have a look, darling. You are staying here, you do not open if its not me. Understood?'
Emma nodded, she wasn't able to say much she really just wanted to sleep.
Stepping outside, taking her formal posture and walking straight towards the noises she finally saw who was doing all of this fuzz.
'I want yo see my daughter! Where is Emma!'
'Please Mary Margaret, as soon as everything is done, the doctor said you two could see her.' This nurse really tried her best, but Mary Margaret was in 'Mama bear' mode and there was no turning back. Not that Charming was any bit better.
'I am the Sheriff of this town, I want to see her now!'
'Would you to please be quiet, you made Emma tense! That is the last thing she needs right now!'
'Oh, Regina, thank the good spirits. What happened? We got your message that Emma was hurt and that you brought her to the hospital. What's going on?'
Looking at them she realised that she had to tell them at least the big parts of the story, that wouldn't be easy in any sense.
'I recommend you take a seat. Do not interrupt me! I really want to go back as soon as possible. Emma and Hook had a fight he got violent in more than one way, she broke up with him. So whatever he will tell you, because I am sure he will want to try to get away with it, he lies. All the exams are done, but Emma is exhausted, she is tired. I am going to take her to my house and she will stay there for a while. Please, try to think of her and what is best for her, I know you want to see her, but ask yourself is she in the condition to do that for you right now?'
Mary Margaret, was going through a thousand emotions, it was just too much. David on the other side seemed to have just one emotion, anger. All of this informations were still running through there minds, when David finally found the clarity to say something.
'We will come to see her tomorrow. I do not negotiate that, Regina. Make sure she is safe, or otherwise I will prove that I can be quite a different charming.'
David took Mary Margaret into his arms gave her a kiss on the head, holding her. He was angry, more than that he was feeling furious.
'I know, you want to go inside, I want that too. But Regina is right. We will go home and I promise, first thing in the morning we will be at Regina's porch.'
At this point Mary Margaret's sobbing was more than loud.
David looked at Regina while holding onto his wife.
'Make sure she knows, we were here! Tell her we love her more than anything and that we will see her tomorrow.'
'Of course. Do not worry I have got her.'
Regina would finally return to the room. She found Emma behind the door nealy afraid looking.
'Was that him?'
'No, and for my souls sake I hope I do not see him in this moment. Your parents were here, they love you, they are worried. They want you to know that they will visit you tomorrow. I told them how exhausted you are and they understood that it would be better to see each other tomorrow.'
Emma looked stunned, wondering how Regina mid have threatened her mother in order for Mary Margaret not to stand in front of her.
'I want to take you home, I want you to have a bath and sleep, I want to keep you safe.'
With those words from Regina, Emma would feel tears coming up her eyes. The moment between them was long gone, but in those moments Emma would get so hopeful, so sure that maybe there was still some hope, after all, love hurts sometimes.
