Curse Gone Wrong

Visiting Hours

Regina

I woke up and found Robin sitting in the rocking chair holding our daughter, I smiled and tilted my head over so I could stare at him interacting with her. He was so caught up in her that he had no idea that I woke up.

"I have a story to tell you little one, it's about your mama and I, you see we met two years ago, you see your big brother was taken away from your mother and she was very sad about that because she loves your brother very much. Well when I met her all she wanted was to get back to your brother, that's all she could think about, well she was so preoccupied that she almost got eaten by a flying monkey! But don't worry! Daddy saved mama and she just refused to say thank you! Well when we came back home mama and daddy didn't remember each other, but I still thought she was very pretty, so one day thanks to your Auntie Snow, mama came and kissed me! Well when we finally found each other we faced some hiccups, and we had no idea what we were going to do, but we did know one thing would bring us together, you know what that is? You!" He said gently placing a kiss on her face. I smiled and giggled at him, making him look up and blush.

"How much of that did you hear?" He asked bashfully, I sat up a little straighter and smiled. "All of it. It's fine, I like watching you two." I said softly, he got up and walked towards me, handing Gabriella over to me. "She wanted her mama." Robin said adjusting her blanket in my arms, suddenly she started to wail and then smacked her lips. "I think she's hungry." I said to him, he shrugged and pressed the nurses button.

"What can I help you with today?" The same nurse who tried to give me my IV yesterday asked trembling in the door. "I think she's hungry and I was wondering if you could help me out here?" I asked, she bit her lip and nodded, and then briskly walked over to me. I unsnapped my gown and let her help me, I winced slightly then relaxed, I felt my daughter's breath against me and I smiled, brushing my thumb against her head.

I felt her stop and I pulled her away, she had a slight smile on her face and she opened her eyes. "Hey babe, hand me her burping towel." I said, quickly wiping her face and buttoning my gown over my sports bra.

Robin snapped a picture of Gabriella and I and then uploaded it to his Facebook page that he recently got.

"Knock knock!" Emma said, her and Killian walking into the room quietly, Hook had large pink "It's a girl!" balloons and Emma had a brown bear with Gabriella's name embroidered on the bow.

"Oh my god Regina she's beautiful!" Emma said walking towards me, she pulled out her phone and took a picture of the three of us, then sliding her phone into her pocket again. "Can I hold her?" She asked quietly, I nodded and Killian pointed her to the hand sanitizer. I handed her over and she smiled brightly, bouncing slowly while she held her. "Babe, get the camera out." I said patting Robin, he pulled out the small red camera and handed it to me, I took a picture of Emma holding Gabriella, then her and Hook with her.

"Where is Henry?" I asked taking Gabriella back from her, Emma gave Hook a look then looked at me. "He uh... He said he will see you when you get home, he's uncomfortable in the hospital." Emma said, I could tell she was lying and I needed to know what my son said.

"Hello?" Snow whispered, Emma and Robin were chatting and Killian had to return to the docks to take care of some boating issue so the room was fairly quiet. Snow came in with David and had a huge basket and bouquet of balloons and flowers. "Congratulations you two!" She squealed walking over to me, she left shortly after I gave birth to Gabriella, so this was her first time seeing her fully and clean.

"She's beautiful!" She exclaimed, setting the gifts down next to her daughter's. I handed her Gabriella and watched as she played with her, bouncing her gently, shifting her weight slowly from side to side. I took a picture of her and my baby then David with my daughter, getting all of the pictures in for her scrapbook.
