Unmasking The Truth

Chapter 28

Regina's POV:
I woke up in the middle of the night coughing. My throat hurt really bad and I wanted water. I look up at Robin and he was asleep, I didn't want to wake him up. So I look at the door, it is only to the kitchen, getting water, and coming back. Right? I slowly get out of bed, making sure I didn't wake Robin because I know he is probably tired. As I slowly started towards the door my anxiety started to hit me.

I made it to the top of the stairs, just standing there looking into the dark kitchen. So I make my way into the kitchen quietly, I can feel my anxiety. I grabbed a cup filling it with ice and pouring water into before taking a drink. It felt good on my throat because it hurt.

Everything was black and I couldn't see, but it felt good standing there. Just for a few minutes I stand there before I heard something causing me to jump and drop my glasses of water on the floor.

Tears fell down my faces because Robin was going to be mad at me for breaking the glass, and for being out of bed in the middle of the night. Leopold always got mad when I got out of bed at night. Even to use the bathroom.

I drop to the floor, crying into my knees. I was scared to move because if I did that would only cause more trouble. The kitchen light flickers on, and then I hear footsteps. I jump when they got closer. Looking up I see Robin. I got scared so I moved away from him crying. Then I started to cough hard before everything went black.

I woke up and look around the room, I was in the hospital. But soon realized Robin wasn't here but there was a male doctor in here. I whimper with tears coming out. The doctor walked over to be and I got scared. All this sent me into a panic attack, so I started to freak out.

Robins POV:
This doctor for some reason wouldn't let me go back with Regina. I have been try to get to Regina for over an hour.

"Please, she will get scared," I tell her.

"Sir we can't do that till we finish the test to find why she blacked out," she tells me. I just sigh.

Another hour went by. When the doctor walked up to me.

"The doctors need you in her room," she tells me.

We walked to her room. When we got there Regina was freaking out, with tears streaming down her faces. And all these doctors touch her isn't going to help.

I ran over to her and the doctors stopped touching her and moved out the way. She looked up at me before grabbing my shirt. I wrapped my arms around.

"Shh, I'm here, you are ok." I till her.

"We have been trying to get her heartbeat down because it is at an extremely high rate right now," doctor whale said.

"She freaked out because she was in here alone with a male doctor. And all of you touching her wasn't helping. She doesn't like being touched my men except me." I tell them.

I brush some hair out of her face. The tears were streaming down her face fast. I rubbed some circles on her back trying to calm her down.

"You're ok baby," I tell her softly. She shakes her head before pointing to the doctors. "Can we get some space please? She isn't going to calm down with you guys in here," I asked them. They nodded before leaving, once they left Regina looked at me.

"Y-y-you w-weren't h-h-here," she cried even more.

"I know but the doctors wouldn't let me in, I promise you if I could have been in here I would have." I told her. She puts her head back on my chest, and finally calms down.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry," she whispers.

"For what?" I asked.

"B-because I got o-out o-of b-bed to get w-water," she said softly.

"Baby, I'm not upset or mad. I don't mind that you got out of bed to get water." I tell her.

"B-bu-"

"I'm not Leopold, I would never be mad at you for getting out of bed to get water. And I definitely won't ever hit you for it." I tell her.

"P-promise?" 

"I promise baby,"I said kissing her head.

Henry's POV:
I haven't really talked to Emma since I left to stay with my grandparents and that was a week ago. I don't really know how I feel about her and Killian getting married and all.

"Henry you have to talk to your mom," Gramps said.

"I don't want to. Not right now at least," I told him.

"It has been a week now. You can't just not talk to her." He tells me.

"I know but still," I said.

"Ok then, I'm going down to the station to check up on Leopold," he said.

"Ok. I'm going to hang out with Roland. I promised him I would take him to the park to play with Pongo," I said.

"Be safe and have fun," He said before walking out.

"Bye grandma I'm going to hang out with Roland now!" I yelled from the door.

"Be safe please!" She yelled back.

"Ok," I said before walking out of the loft.

I walked into the forest and where the Merry Men are at. Roland seen me first.

"Henry!" I yelled running into my arms. I pick him up and put him on my hip.

"Hey Henry," Tuck said.

"Hey Tuck. We are just going to the park and then I should have him back before dark," I tell him.

"It's all good. You two go have fun," he tells me.

"Bye Tuck," Roland and I say at the same time.

"Bye,"

I put Roland on his feet and grabbed his hand. We started our walk to the park.

"I miss mommy and daddy," Roland said.

"I know me too. But once mommy gets all better, all 4 of us will be a family ok?" I tell him.

"Ok. I can't wait," he said excitedly.

"Me neither buddy," I said. "We will be happy just the 4 of us. Huh?" I asked looking down at him.

"Yup. Me, you, mommy, and daddy. But we have to protect mommy." He said. It is adorable how he wants to protect her.

"Why do we have to protect mommy?" I questioned.

"Because she is the only girl, and there is 3 boys. And plus mommy is the queen so she needs protection," he giggled. I smiled.

"Yea, yea bud we have to protect mom," I said.

We make it to the park before running around playing games. Roland really enjoys spending time with me. He is like my little shadow, but I like it. I get to have a little brother to protect and someone to pick on in the future. I'm happy with the family I have. Robin, mom, and Roland are the only people I need to be happy. Emma is just the problem, because she texted me the other day saying she wanted full custody of me which I don't like.

I pull my phone out and text her. Because I'm ready to talk about that.

Henry: 'Can we meet at Granny's for lunch to talk tmr?'

Emma: 'Sure kid'

I turn my phone off before going back to Roland.
