Marinette & Adrien rushed inside of the hospital, as the doctors wheeled Emma inside

Marinette: Emma, can you hear me? If you can, please say something!

Hugo: Emma, wake up!

Louis: Emmy, open your eyes!

Adrien: Emma, please! Wake up! Say something, please!

The doctors moved her inside of the hospital room & they all went inside

Penny: I'm sorry, but one of the adults will have to stay outside with the kids. They can't be in here.

Adrien & Marinette looked at each other

Adrien: It's okay. I'll be outside waiting for you.

Marinette: Okay..

Adrien went out of the room with Hugo & Louis

Adrien wiped his tears & felt his heart racing

Adrien: It's happening all over again..

Hugo: Dad, this has happened twice?

Adrien looked over at his kids, a lump forming in his throat, as he slowly nodded yes

Louis: But.. how..?

Adrien: Your.. mother... when we were young, she was diagnosed with amnesia & barely had any reminder of anything..

In the hospital room, Marinette hit her nails & anxiously tapped her feet on the floor, tears still running down her face

Marinette: Is our daughter going to be okay, Doctor Rolling?

Penny: I'm sorry to inform you, Mrs..Agreste, but from the severe hit of the car crash, she now will suffer from amnesia. But the good news is that she'll wake up tomorrow morning.

Marinette froze & felt her heart drop down to her feet

Marinette: No.. no..

She walked out of the room & Adrien looked at his wife

Adrien: So? What are the results?

Marinette's face was now red from crying & she whimpered

Marinette: Emma will be waking tomorrow.. b-but.. she now suffers from amnesia..

Adrien: Oh, princess..

He wrapped his arms around her, as she cried into his shoulder

Hugo & Louis joined in on the hug, as the whole family felt sad & heartbroken

The ride home was silent, as no one said a word & they muffled their cries

As they reached the house, Marinette opened the door, the two boys heading upstairs to their rooms

Marinette changed out of her dress & wiped off her makeup, pulling her hair down & changing into her nightgown
