Chapter 169: Intuition

Regina quietly unlocked the door to the loft with the key that David gave her and Robin and Roland followed her inside. She spotted Bobby sleeping on the pull out couch bed and he stirred, as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"Mom? Dad?" he muttered, thinking it was them coming home.

"No, it's me sweetie," Regina called, as he opened his eyes all the way.

"Aunt Regina? Are Mom and Dad okay?" he asked. She smiled.

"They're fine...better than fine, actually," she replied, as he saw Robin and Roland.

"Papa Robin?" he exclaimed, as he jumped up and went to hug him. Robin chuckled.

"I can't believe how much you've grown..." he marveled, as he hugged the boy.

"Hey kid..." Roland greeted, as the boy almost bowled him over.

"You found us!" Bobby cried.

"Summer! Summer...you have to come down here!" he shouted.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" he asked.

"Still at the hospital. That's part of what we need to tell you, sweetie," Regina replied, as a disoriented Summer stumbled down the stairs.

"Bobby...why are you yelling?" she asked, as she looked up.

"Papa Robin?" she called, as she ran to them and hugged him.

"Look at you..." he marveled.

"I can't believe it's been two years for all of you when it's only been days for us," Robin added.

"How did you get here?" Summer asked.

"Well, that's part of what we need to tell you both," Robin replied.

"Yes and the most important part is that Emma is alive...and she's here," Regina told them. Their mouths hung open for a minute and then they both smiled.

"Really? Emmy's alive?" Bobby asked in disbelief. Regina nodded.

"But how?" Summer asked.

"She managed to hang on long enough for Elsa and the others to find her and since there's no magic here, the poison isn't affecting her heart," Regina replied.

"And Mom and Dad know?" she asked. Regina nodded.

"She's at the hospital with them now and Lucy is awake," she replied.

"Can we go see them?" Bobby asked. Regina smiled.

"That's why we're here. Go get dressed," she confirmed, as they hurried to do so.

Dr. Narita looked over Lucy's chart and nodded at Jacinda.

"Everything seems to be normal with Lucy. It's almost as if there was nothing wrong with her at all," the doctor said, a bit perplexed by that. He really could make any medical sense of this case at all.

"Thank you doctor...does that mean I can take her home?" Jacinda asked.

"Everything checks out. Let me consult with Dr. Aeson, but I don't see why she would need to keep her. We'll get her discharged hopefully later this morning," he responded, as he left and Sabine poked her head in.

"Aunt Sabine!" Lucy called, as she hurried in and hugged the little girl.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're okay, munchkin," she gushed, as she presented Lucy with a stuffed unicorn.

"Since this is such a magical situation, I thought a magical themed gift was appropriate," she said.

"Thank you...I love it!" Lucy gushed, as she and Jacinda exchanged a glance and an awkward silence passed between them.
