I Remember

Rewritten

Henry

"What are you doing up at this hour! And who is this baby?" Mr. Clarke exclaimed while he checked out the formula and coffee. I was bouncing my screaming sister and the weight of the diaper bag against my wound made me shake. The curse partially healed it but it still hurt. I swiped the card and snatched it from him. "I need formula for my sister!" I snapped, the fatigue and trauma taking a toll on my emotions. He just nodded and went back to alphabetizing the packs of gum.

Penelope's crying intensified and I drove home half awake, stalking up the driveway with my sister and the bags. "Okay! Okay, shh Penelope I will feed you! Please just give me two seconds!" I begged, heating up the formula in the microwave, testing it on my skin. I placed it in her mouth and she immediately stopped crying, she just whimpered contently. I sighed and sat down in her nursery, the minute she ran out she looked at me as if I had kicked a puppy. "That's enough for right now little sister, let's get you burped." I said gently patting her back, she spit up on me then smiled contently, her eyes drifting shut. I sighed and wiped my shirt with her cloth, then placed her in the crib.

The minute I walked out of the nursery my phone rang, my heart rate picked up as I dashed over to the table in the hall and picked it up. "Hello!" I said sharply, my tolerance level lower then ever. "Hey kid, your mom's not doing too hot. We all wanted to know if you could come and bring your quill and paper?" My mom asked quietly, I sighed and peeked in on Penelope who was sleeping soundly, irritated that I would have to wake her up. "Yeah. I'm coming." I groaned, running into my room and pulling the quill out of my drawer and went into the nursery. "Come on little one, we gotta go help mama." I said wrapping her up, she didn't wake up, she just stirred for a while then squirmed in my arms. "Let's go."

Snow White

Emma, Charming, and I laid together in the chairs in the waiting room, I checked my clock and it read two thirty in the morning. The footsteps in the quiet hallway made me jump, Robin came out with a cup of coffee and bloodshot eyes.

I stood up and walked over to him, sitting him down at one of the chairs. "Go ahead and take a nap Robin, between this and the trip and your newborn baby, I doubt you've gotten any sleep, I will sit with Regina in case she wakes up." He reluctantly nodded and curled into a ball on the chair.

"Mm Robin?" Regina moaned, I shook my head and sat in the chair next to her. "It worked! You're here!" She croaked, pulling me into a hug, her cold arms holding me tightly. "What?" I asked trying to pull away, she just held on tighter, brushing my face against her thick hair, she just smiled and put my hand on my chest. "I shared with you." She said happily, I then realized what she did. "Regina..." She shook her head and leaned back, closing her eyes. I sat back down and took her freezing hand, trying to warm her up. "Thank you." I whispered, shutting my own eyes.

I woke up to the sound of Regina groaning, she grabbed her stomach and then gasped. "What's going on!" She cried, I ran over to her and yanked her sheet off of her, blood stained her hospital gown and the sheets, it covered her legs, pooling around her hips. I pressed the nurses button and tossed the blanket on the floor. "Regina I'm gonna get Robin!" I said running to the door, she shrieked and held her hand out. "No! Don't leave me! Please!" She sobbed, I bit my lip and peeked my head out of the window, Regina's sobs picked up when she saw me open the door, so I quickly called for Robin then ran over to her. "You're going to be okay. Listen to me. I won't let anything happen to you. You saved my life, now I am going to save yours!" I said brushing her hair back, fear twisted in my stomach, I wouldn't lose my friend.

Henry

I walked Penelope out to the car when all of a sudden Rumplestiltskin stood in front of me. "Healing quickly aren't we dearie?!" He shrilled, I pulled my sister against my chest and glared at him. "Get out of here." I growled, he laughed and stepped towards us. I held my arm out to keep a safe distance from him. "What are you going to do Mr. Author? Outline me to death?" He laughed, I didn't know what was happening but I felt my arms tingle and a rush of power flow through my veins. "Don't come near us!" I yelled, making my sister cry. He just laughed and sat down on the bench in the front yard. "Fine fine! I just came to deliver a message. Have you noticed anything different about your soon to be stepfather?" I just glared at him and nodded, remembering how he angered my mother out of the blue. "It may have to do with this..." He said holding a red heart out to me, I gasped and lunged for it, but then suddenly Penelope was out of my arms in his. "Give her back or I swear, I will kill you." I growled, he held his finger out and giggled. "It's your choice dearie. I will give you your beloved sister back, but then I will be forced to squeeze this heart into ash. Now it's your choice, I'd think carefully dearie, which would you think would be harder to explain to your dear mother? How you let her only daughter die, her only blood child-" "SHE LOVES US ALL! ME, ROLAND, AND PENELOPE EQUALLY! I AM TAKING MY SISTER AND I AM TAKING ROBIN'S HEART!" I yelled grabbing my sister, he smiled and shoved the heart into his pocket. "You have a day to make you choice. If I don't hear from you, well I will assume that you made your decision." Then he vanished.

Snow White

Robin rushed in the room along with a bunch of nurses and doctors. "Regina! Darling!" He yelled, grabbing her hand and kissing it. Dr. Zambrano came in and pulled Regina's legs apart, strapping on a pair of gloves and tossing Regina's undergarments in the waste bin. Regina screamed at the movement and at the doctor's rough movements. "She's hemorrhaging again!" She yelled at another doctor, suddenly Regina's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she passed out.

"She's losing too much blood! Hook her up to another central line!" She yelled, Robin was white, his face had lost it's color and he kept asking the doctors questions as they worked. "Someone get him out of here." She said calmly, a male nurse escorted a thrashing Robin out of the room, kicking and screaming. "DON'T LEAVE HER! SNOW STAY WITH HER!" He yelled, I nodded as if he could see me, grabbing his fiancé's hand. "I won't leave you Regina."

"SHE'S CODING! GET THE CRASH CART!" Someone yelled, I bit my lip and squeezed Regina's hand tighter, without warning they ripped her gown off and charged the paddles, zapping her chest. "Come on!" The male doctor groaned, zapping her again, a yelp released from my lips as they did it again. "Please Regina. We all need you. I need you. Hang on!" I whispered next to her ear, all of a sudden Henry burst through the door with Penelope in his arms, along with his quill and ink. He gasped at the sight then ran over to the table and grabbed a paper towel scribbling something down.

All of a sudden Regina's eyes fluttered open and her heart started again, her bleeding cleared up and she took a deep breath. "Henry! You did it!" I yelled smiling, he returned one and bounced his sister gently. "Mom, don't ever scare me like that again!" He said hugging her tightly, she pulled him close and kissed his head. I squeezed her hand and left to go find Robin.

I came out and he jolted up, sprinting towards me. "How is she! Is she okay?" He asked, his hands were bleeding from his nails and his lip was raw from chewing on it. "She's fine, Henry saved her. He's with her right now, go ahead." I said moving out of his way, he gave me a bear hug then ran down the hallway.

"You called him didn't you?" I asked, Emma sighed and nodded, sitting beside me, her personality was the same, she was still Emma, just with strong magic, but her physical appearance was different, her hair was thicker and fell in a half up half down hairdo, large curls filling her golden tresses, her face was sharper and more contoured, her features more defined and dramatic. And her attire also, the tight black peplum dress came down to her knees, and the rest of her legs were covered in thick black tights and black stilettos.

"I figured he could save her without a doubt." She said sighing, leaning her head onto my shoulder, shutting her eyes and falling asleep. I smiled and kissed her forehead before drifting to sleep myself.

Robin

I opened the door and found Regina and Henry sitting beside each other in the bed while she held Penelope in her arms. "I've missed you my sweet girl, mama just has to get better and then I can come and take care of you okay?" She whispered, gently rocking her back to sleep. Henry looked up and saw me, giving me a smile before he took Penelope from Regina. "I'm going to take her home so she can sleep. Don't get into anymore trouble tonight, okay mom?" He joked, she reached out and hugged him again, placing a firm kiss on his forehead. "Thank you for saving me Henry. I love you my little prince." He smiled and grabbed the diaper bag from the chair, cradling Penelope in his arms. "Well, it's my payment for you taking that sword for me, I love you mom." He said winking, then exiting the room.

I followed him out and then gently took his arm. "Hey, Henry I can take her home if you want to sleep, I know you're pretty tired." I said looking at the young boy, he smiled and held her out for me to look at, my precious daughter. "I'm okay, plus you should stay with my mom, she needs you tonight." He said, for a young boy he was very mature, but he was raised by Regina, so of course he was a wonderful boy. "I just wanted to thank you for saving her in there, you know I was a mess and you kept a clear head. So thank you. You're a wonderful son to your mother, and I want you to know that I do look at you as my own son." I said quietly, he smiled and then patted me on the back before leaving.

I walked back into the room and found Regina drifting off into sleep, I smiled and sighed with relief to see the color back in her cheeks, I kissed her temple and then took her cold hand, she rolled her head over to look at me then smiled, brushing her fingers against my face. "I love you Robin, I always want you to know that." She whispered, I leaned in and kissed her again, moving her hair out of her face. "And I love you too, and I can't wait to marry you. Just please don't scare me like that ever again. I can't lose you, you're my world."
