Recovery

She was still in shock. The brunette refused to let anyone else stay with Regina. Thinking like this, it was for the best.

Emma and David were busy taking care of Elsa and Belle was trying to explain them how she knew about Anna.

Mary Margaret insisted to stay with her stepmother. The constant sound of the hospital machines was the only thing stoping Mary Margaret from snapping.

Regina was still alive, they had found them in time. However, Whale mentioned it was impossible to say how they would react in the following days.

She believed they would survive.

The mayor and Robin were both strong.

Because if that, the former princess stayed on an uncomfortable chair in Regina's hospital room. It was late at night and she found herself blinking heavily.

Mary Margaret fought the tiredness, determined to stay awake and prepared to help the mayor if needed, but eventually, she fell asleep.

"Over here!" Belle exclaimed as ran in front of the others, showing the way.

After a few more minutes they found a passage blocked by giants icicle stones with just a small hole in between. Emma rested her face on it, examining the other side with her eyes. She spotted two numb bodies on the ground and panicked.

"Open a passage now!" The savior yelled at Elsa.

The Snow Queen was shaking. She shook her head slowly and closed her eyes. "I can't control it. I don't know how." She whispered.

Emma widened her eyes and snapped. She tried to conjure fire using her magic, but it was difficult to concentrate in her state. If Regina was dead, Henry would lose his mother and she would lose a friend.

Rumple arrived minutes later and, seeing Emma's distress, rolled his eyes. "Please, let me." He murmured and the others opened passage for him.

He lifted his arms and a wave of fire came out of it, melting the ice slowly. When a hole big enough for two people pass was created, he stopped and David and Emma ran into the room.

They froze in the act.

The former prince studied the two bodies in front of him.

Regina and Robin looked awfully dead. They both had bruises over their bodies and their faces had a lifeless tone of white. Regina's lips and nails were in a dangerous shade of purple and so were Robin's.

Emma gasped and moved closer to them.

David sensed someone pass next to him towards the room. It was his wife.

Mary Margaret's jaw dropped and she had teary eyes. "No." She whispered.

The brunette ran to them checking for vital signs, but it was pointless.

"Step aside." Rumple said firmly and placed a hand on Regina's body as the two woman took a couple of steps back.

In the moment he touched his former student, he felt how weak she was.

Weak, but alive.

The Dark One made a spell that stopped the effect of Sidney's potion over her body. Rumple assumed that her magic would take care of the rest with a little push.

He moved his hands to her heart and electrocuted the area. It made the mayor jump, but kept her uncontious.

He suppressed the part on him that hoped she would be fine - he preferred not to care.
