Blind
Microsoftgirl24 asked for a oneshot of Emma waking up blind in a hospital after an accident. She panics and Snowing try to comfort her. The only thing that helps is them taking Emma's hands and letting her feel their faces. (One request at a time with a gap between please and just on the side, people wouldn't normally be blind, wear glasses and have a cane :) ).
Person who asked if I could see their username: No, sorry!
kiki: I'm afraid I have no time to search right now so you'll have to explore yourself!

"Help!" Emma screamed as she opened her eyes. "Help! I can't see! I can't see!" She heard a frantic beeping noise which unknown to her was her heart monitor confirming her panic.
"Emma, thank goodness you're awake. You need to try and calm down baby girl." Emma recognised her father's voice, but it did not calm her down. For all she knew this was some kind of trap. She continued to struggle against the two sets of arms holding her down.
"We'll explain everything, but first you need to calm down Emma." Emma heard what appeared to be her mother's calm, reassuring voice. But again for all Emma knew this was a trick.
"You had an accident Em, remember? You were abseiling with Henry and something went wrong with your harness. You're lucky to be alive." The man who Emma still wasn't sure was her dad told her. Emma stopped struggling for a moment and tried to remember. Yes, that did seem familiar. She could see blurry images in her head of herself crashing to the floor before her world went black- just as it was just now. Emma raised her hand to her move- horrified. Was she blind now? "We aren't sure how temporary this is, Em. Whale hopes you'll be able to recover at least some sight but the truth is we just don't know." Emma could hear the emotion behind the voice, but it still didn't make her any more certain that these people were really her parents. There were still plenty of villains around who wanted to attack her and right now she was vulnerable. Voice altering spells weren't the trickiest around.
"How do I know you're telling me the truth? How do I know you're not Rumple or Zelena trying to attack me whilst I'm weak? For all I know I'm in a dungeon somewhere and not even in the hospital." Emma hissed. She flinched as she felt a soft hand pick up her own.
"This is how you know Emma." Snow told her daughter. She then placed Emma's hand against her cheek. Charming did the same with her other hand. Emma took her time to explored the two faces with her fingers. She felt the rough stubble of her dad's jaw, the scar at his chin. The sweeping fringe her mom had and her baby smooth skin. Emma realised she was being ridiculous- these were definitely her parents. She started to cry again and felt her dad wrap her in his strong, loving arms.
"We're going to get through this Emma. Whatever the outcome we will get through this. You're going to be ok princess." He promised her. Emma just wept into his chest not so sure. At least for now in their presence she felt safe.
