Memories [OUAT/Helsa]

Arrival

Storybrooke, Maine
Present Day

"Emma!"

The cup of hot cocoa stopped midway toward the blonde woman's mouth as she turned her head around toward the entrance of the Diner, one eyebrow raised in wonder as she put the white cup back down. "What is it, Leroy?"

The grumpy man did not even bother to move from his spot at the doorway, practically blocking anyone in and out. "You need to head down to the Hospital, right now." He said, the tone used did not give any space for the Savior to decline.

"Can't it wait?" Emma questioned as her eyebrows now furrowed. She has just finished dealing with Will Scarlet, the former Merry Men who has once again broke into the library and made her chase him all the way to the forest before she could arrest him and throw him into the prison. A little break was all that she needed at the moment.

"You're the Sheriff, your job is to take care of things in town." Leroy grumbled, "I'm already late to meet the other dwarves in the mine because of this. Besides, it's about your old friend from Arendelle."

At the mention of the name of the kingdom she was familiar with Emma's mind has now ignored the temptation of taking a sip of Granny's hot cocoa with cinnamon. "Is something wrong?"

"I was driving my truck by the forest when I found the ice queen in the middle of the road, unconscious. Do you think there is nothing wrong with that?" The dwarf questioned back, "I've done my part as a good citizen, now are you going to do yours as the sheriff or not?"

Taking a quick gulp of the hot beverage, Emma ignored the fact that she has burned both her tongue and throat as she got off the stool and walked out, making her way straight toward the Hospital.

The nurse sitting at the reception gave the blonde Sheriff the direction to where the new patient has been brought, telling her that the ice queen has just been moved from the emergency unit to a private room.

"Whale," Emma said as she saw him exiting through the many doors in the hallway. "Where is-"

"-Elsa?" The doctor guessed, and if Emma was not such in a hurry she would have react to the smugness in his voice. "Words travel fast, huh?" When she did glared at him, he quickly cleared in throat. "She's inside, I have just finished with the check-up."

Nodding, the blonde would have entered the room if her arm has not been caught by the doctor. "There is something that you need to know first, just to reduce the shock... Your friend is pregnant."

"Wait, what?" At least Doctor Whale was right, the news did take the sheriff by surprise more than she would have anticipated. "Did you do a test on her?"

Shaking his head, the dirty blond haired Doctor pocketed his pen in his white coat. "You can tell just by looking. I say she has just entered her second trimester, but I couldn't exactly tell without doing a proper ultrasound."

The Sheriff nodded, and without any more word muttered toward the Doctor she walked passed him and entered the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Emma..." The Savior was now convinced that it was truly her old friend that has ended up back in Storybrooke, just as Leroy has stated. Elsa seemed like she had been drained out of her energy, only being able to sit on the Hospital bed thanks to the head being raised, her blonde hair tied in a messy bun instead of it's usual braid, small cuts on her skin only visible once Emma has seated herself right beside the bed, but unfortunately for the Savior's curiosity the blanket has been pilling on the Ice Queen's lap and thus blocking any view for her abdomen.

"Hi Elsa." The blonde offered a small smile, yet she really had no idea what she would say to her friend. "How are you feeling?"

"I think I have a little headache." The Ice Queen admitted as a small sigh escaped her lips. "But it's barely a problem compared to what the situation I'm in right now, right?"

"Look, I'm sure that we'll find a way for you to go back to Arendelle and-"

"I mean about this!" Elsa's hand furiously threw the blanket aside, and hugged by the Hospital's blue gown was indeed her growing belly. "I'm pregnant, Emma!"

The Sheriff raised both hands up in a gesture of no harm, she didn't expect that the Ice Queen would be so angry about her pregnancy. "Yeah, I know, Whale told me. Are you upset because you don't want to have a child?"

Elsa glared at her old friend, tired of her attics of guessing blindly. "Of course I want a child, who doesn't? What makes me 'upset' is because I have no idea who the Father is!"

"What do you mean?"

"Emma... I have no memory of what have happened before I suddenly reappeared here."
