Uprise (TWAU)

Chapter 9: Game Of Operation

(SNOW'S POV)

"Shit shit shit shit!!" I cursed. Not again, no no not again! I can't lose him again! I thought, feeling my eyes get heavy again. "B-Bigby! Can you hear me!!" I yelled, holding his head in my lap and staring down at his face. No response. I looked over at the knocked-out prince. I had to make sure he couldn't escape. I quickly reached through Bigby's wrinkled pockets and pulled out a pair of hand cuffs. I ran to Charming and pulled his arms behind his back. I wrapped the cuffs around his wrists. "It's gonna be o-okay, Bigby! D-don't worry!" I tried to be optimistic. I quickly pulled out my smartphone and went to my contacts. I tapped on "Dr.Swineheart" and pressed call (mhm y'all forgot this took place in our time huh? HUH? HUHHH?!?). The phone ringed as I mumbled to myself, "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!!" A few more rings later, he picked up and said, "Hey, Miss White." "Swineheart! We ne-need you here right now!! Bigby's hurt again!" I yelled. He sighed and said, "Told him to stay out of trouble..couldn't even last 5 minutes without getting into an altercation..." "CAN YOU JUST COME DOWN HERE PLEASE?!?" I shrieked. "Yes yes, I'm on my way!" Swineheart yelled back. He hung up the phone. I ran back to Bigby's unconscious body and tried to cup my hands over his stabbed wounds to stop the bleeding. "DO. NOT. DIE! DO YOU U-UNDERSTAND! I CAN-CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!" I yelled, adding more pressure to the wounds and soon bring my hands to his chest and pumping down (#greysanatomyreferenceftw). I quickly grabbed his wrist and put pressure on the center. I felt a very faint beat. He has a pulse! I thought. "Okay, Bigby, j-j-just stay with me until Swineheart comes!" I yelled even though he couldn't hear me.

(7 MINUTES LATER)

I heard a loud banging on the door. That must be Swineheart! I thought. I let Bigby go from my tight grasp and ran to the door. I opened it and was greeted by a panting physician with a bag of supplies. "Where is he?!" He inquired, rushing inside. He saw a bloodied-up pale Bigby Wolf on one side of the room and a fallen prince on the other. He ran to Bigby's side and yelled, "Help me get off his shirt!" I did as I was told with tears rushing down my face. Bigby's bare chest was exposed (ooooooooo hay lemme get a taste of that mmm JKJK). I noticed the gauze around it already. He must've got himself fixed up first, I thought. I looked at his stomach and saw the oozing slits and holes in it. Swineheart opened up his bag and pulled out gloves and a large white rag. "What the happened?" He asked as he slipped on the gloves quickly and pressed down on the wounds with the rag. "H-he got st-stabbed several times by Charming!" I stammered. Swineheart pulled a small hankerchief out of his front suit pocket and handed it to me. I wiped the tears off my cheeks.

(MEANWHILE)

(WINTER'S POV)

Oh god. Not again! No no no!! "C'mon son..give it all you got! Stay alive for your woman, Gaffer!" I tried to pep-talk. "Is he gonna die again? I don't want him to leave Snow in the dust like that again.." Boy Blue asked with worry displayed on his face. "I don't know, but I know one thing for sure. No doubt, I would like to see my son again but he better keep living..for Snow White's sake. He's a Wolf. He can do this!" I answered with pure confidence and faith for my son. "I hope you're right.." Blue said, turning to face the scene in front of us.

(MEANWHILE)

(SNOW'S POV)

Swineheart eventually stopped the overflowing bleeding and pulled out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. He poured it over his wounds as I cringed at the stinging sound it made (this reminds me so much of when clemmy clem clem was stitching up her arm, holy shit I cringed so hard at that scene). Small bubbles formed at the sides of the insides of his cuts. The Fabletown doctor pulled his stitching tool and thread out of his bag. "Okay, let's get to work.." He said, putting the string through the open end of the tool. I looked at Bigby's blank, pale face in misery. At this point, I was holding onto the very thin strings of hope that he wouldn't die. That he wouldn't leave me again. Swineheart began threading his wounds and stitching them back together. Once finished, he patted them dry as best he could and said, "Alright, let's check if the old boy's still alive." He pressed his thumb on the left side of his wrist and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "What? Wh-what is it?!" I asked in fear that he's gone again. "Wait a minute.." (oh shit) Swineheart pressed two fingers on the space under Bigby's jawline. "He doesn't have a pulse!" He yelled as he started pushing down on his chest in a rhythmic pattern. "WAIT WHAT?!" I screamed. "He doesn't have a pulse, Miss White!" He yelled. "IS HE DEAD?!!" I yelled as my vision got really blurry from the tears. "I'm not sure," he said as he continued to push up and down (ha ha ha ha stay-in alive stay-in alive). "What do you mean you're not so sure?! You're a doctor! You're supposed to know!" I yelled back in anger. "Miss White, please-" "No don't "please" me! (ew that sounds wrong lol) You're Fabletown's highest ranked physicians! You have the ability to bring Bigby back, and I'll be dammed if I'm gonna lose him again!! Do you understand?!!" I shrieked. He stared at me with eyes filled with worry, motivation and dedication. "As you wish," was all he said as he quickly pulled out an automated external defibrillator (long ass name ik, its like that thing you use to shock people back to life looool i should know cuz I'm sooooo smart -sweats nervously as I try to hide the fact that I looked it up on yahoo answers-). He rubbed the two pads together and yelled, "Clear!", before pressing them to Bigby's chest. His body jerked upward from the shock but still no response.

(BIGBY'S POV)

I popped up in an all-black place. I looked off into the distance to see my mother and Boy Blue. Fuck! Am I dead again?! I thought, infuriated. I ran to them and saw the scene they were watching. I saw Swineheart rub two pads together and press them to my bare chest, causing my body to jerk up. I felt a small pain in my chest suddenly. "Mother! Boy Blue! What the fuck is going on?" I asked. Blue and Winter swiftly turned around with wide eyes. "Oh no.." My mother said. "Son! It is great to see you again but you can't stay here! You gotta go back to life!" She instructed. "Yeah, I kinda picked up on that," I said. Blue walked up to me and said, "Sheriff, please you gotta go before it's too late!" I looked at the scene playing to see Swineheart shocking me for the third time. I jumped a little as the pain hit me in the chest. I saw Snow at my side gripping my hand tightly and crying. "P-please, Bigby! Don't go..." I gulped down sadness and said, "I won't." I looked over to Blue and said, "Whatever it is you need to do, do it! Take me back!" I ordered. He nodded quickly and pulled the golden rod out of his long blue cape. He raised it to the sky and yelled, "By all the power bestowed in me, I hear by pronounce Bigby Wolf..as a living man!!", before smashing it on the ground. Sparks and gold electricity streaks flew everywhere. It worked around me as I looked down to see myself slowly fade away. "Bye mother! Bye Blue!!" I yelled. Boy Blue grunted hard as the force was too much for him ( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ). "N-nice ugghh..knowing you, Sheriff," he yelled back. "Goodbye son!" Winter yelled as my entire body faded away.

I felt my spirit get back inside my wounded body as my hearing came back. I heard two things rubs together followed by a scream, "CLEAR!!!" I heard Snow's sobs and was soon met by a large shock to my chest. I jerked up. I felt Snow's fingers run through my hair as I slowly turned my head to the side. I slowly opened my eyes to meet her shocked, now-happy face. I smiled slowly and narrowed my eyes at her. "B-bigby!! You-" "When I said I'd arggh...never le-leave you, I wasn't kidding around.." I chuckled. She grinned widely and pressed her lips to mine passionately.

(WINTER'S POV)

I watched the scene of Gaffer and Snow kiss in front of me. Boy Blue and I smiled as I thought, That's my son.

(BIGBY'S POV)

Snow hugged Swineheart tight while yelling, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!" He chuckled and said, "No need to thank me. All in a day's work." Snow unwrapped her arms from him and wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tight despite the blood getting on her clothes. I groaned in pain. "S-sorry!" She said. I wrapped my arms around her and said, "It's fine. It's good to be back!" "Now now, Miss White, could you please let go of Mr.Wolf for a minute? I'm not quite finished with the procedure," Swineheart interrupted. Snow hesitantly let go of me and sat by my side. She entwined her fingers with mine, which made me grin. Swineheart propped me up against the wall and picked the roll of gauze out of his kit. He wrapped it around my stomach and waist. "Now, listen to me closely when I say this, Sheriff. No. More. Altercations. Take it easy after this, try not to get in as much fights, all that good stuff....and eat more chicken. Your blood pressure is through the roof," he said as he finished wrapping up my wounds. "I'll try to." I smiled. "Alright then. Very good." He smiled back. He poured some peroxide on a cotton ball and dabbed it across thr cuts on my face. I hissed at the stinging pain. "It's quite the sting but...it'll help cleanse the cuts," Swineheart commented. Once he finished, he put all his tools back in his bag and said, "Bigby. Miss White." With that, he left.
