Regina appeared in the storage room of Henry’s hospital room in a puff of purple smoke. She had teleported herself the minute the day had reset itself. She took a peek in the room. Henry had not arrived at the hospital yet. There were two medical staff preparing the medical equipment for the patient’s arrival.

Minutes later, the brunette could hear some commotion approaching the room. She could see an unconscious Henry on a gurney being wheeled into the room. Doctor Whale and Emma were with him. She could see the two of them arguing about the contents of a sandwich bag which in no doubt was the poisoned apple turnover Regina had made.

The brunette waited patiently for an opportunity to heal her son. She could charge in there and try to get to her son but she figured she would be stopped before she could even get close enough to the boy to heal him.

She decided to wait until the coast was clear and the medical personnel had all exited the room. Regina contemplated explaining her plan to Emma first since the blonde was not the same Emma Swan she had spent the day before with. She did not want to risk getting her lights punched out of her by the sheriff the moment she got close to Henry.

Not wanting to sustain physical injuries, the brunette chose to fill the blonde in with some basic information. She waited for Emma to stand next to the hospital bed nearest to the storage room as she always did. The mayor reached out and grabbed the blonde and pulled her in.

Emma broke free and was about to hit the assailant until she realised who it was.

“Regina! What the hell?!” the sheriff asked.

She was surprised to find the brunette there as she did not notice her arrival in the hospital room.

“Emma, I’m sorry about the apple turnover. I made a mistake and I shouldn’t have tried to poison you.” Regina tried her best to sound sincere as she had apologized to the blonde almost every single day.

The blonde stood dumbfounded not knowing what to say upon hearing the apology.

“The good news is, the curse could be broken with True Love’s Kiss,” Regina said.

“So we just need to find a princess to kiss a ten-year-old boy,” Emma said sarcastically.

The brunette rolled her eyes.

“Listen, you can break the curse by kissing Henry’s forehead,” Regina explained, ignoring the remark the younger woman made earlier.

“What are we waiting for then?” the blonde turned to exit the room.

The brunette pulled her back in.

“Unfortunately… the curse we are dealing with now is bigger than the sleeping curse I cast,” The mayor explained slowly.

“What are you talking about?” the sheriff was starting to get annoyed with the older woman.

“Rumple… Gold…” Regina corrected herself, “cast a new curse on the town, the days are repeating itself and I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve relived today but I think I finally have the solution.” The brunette’s voice was laced with hope.

“What is it?” Emma asked.

“I finally got my magic back. I can now try to use it to heal Henry and hopefully, that will be enough to wake him up.”

“You don’t sound too certain.” The blonde pointed out.

“I have tried so many times to find a way to break this curse. If this does not work…” Regina trailed off. She shook the thought out of her head. She shuddered to think that this was her last solution. She silently prayed that her magic would be strong enough to wake her son up.

Emma could feel the stress from the woman before her. She may not completely follow what was going on, but one thing was for sure, magic was real and everything Henry had told her about the curse was real as well.

“Let’s wake our son up,” Said the brunette.

The two women exited the storage room. Doctor Whale raised an eyebrow as he was wondering what the two women were doing in that room. He shook the impure thought from his head and tried to focus on being professional so that he could deliver an update about Henry with a straight face.

Emma and Regina took the news well considering the circumstance. They stayed by Henry’s side and waited for the doctor to leave. The moment they were left alone, Regina got closer to Henry and stroked his forehead. It had been many days since she last saw him. She missed holding him and hearing his voice.

“Emma, go keep a lookout.” The brunette instructed.

The blonde nodded her head in understanding and looked out of the room. The wall of the hospital room was made of glass. They did not want any of the hospital staff to stop whatever that was about to go on in the room.

Regina calmed her breath and focused on healing her son. She placed a hand on the boy’s chest and watched as the hand glowed in front of her.

Nothing.

The brunette placed both of her hands this time and willed for more magic to flow out of them. The heart rate monitor short-circuited. The lights in the hospital started flickering. The hospital staff could be seen trying to investigate what was happening. Emma was growing nervous and wondered if this was even a good idea, to begin with.

“Regina?” the blonde asked, concerned.

Regina ignored the sheriff. She kept going, desperate to wake her son up. Tears started forming in her eyes. She furrowed her brows and blinked the tears away, letting them flow down her cheeks.

“Please… please… please… wake up…” the brunette pleaded.

Emma’s heart was breaking, looking at the desperation on Regina’s face.

Suddenly, the power in the hospital went out. Hospital staff started to head towards the room.

“Regina!” the blonde tried to get the mayor’s attention. “Regina!” She tried again.

The blonde ran up to the brunette and stopped her.

“What are you doing?!” the mayor was annoyed.

“It’s not going to work!” Emma said slowly.

Regina did not want to believe it. She tried to use her magic on Henry again. The blonde wrapped her arms around the brunette.

“Stop! It’s not going to work.” Emma whispered in Regina’s ears.

The mayor fell into the blonde’s embrace. They both cried, defeated.

“We lost…” Regina said finally.

“No. There has to be another way.” Emma said softly. Both women not letting go of the other. They hugged for some time.

“There isn’t. I have looked.” The mayor said into the blonde’s shoulders.

Some hospital staff stood outside of the room. Unsure of whether it was okay for them to enter the room since they were afraid of the mayor.

Regina finally pulled out of the embrace and looked Emma in the eyes. The blonde could see brown orbs darken. The brunette spun around and started throwing fireballs at the equipment in the room.

“Whoa! Regina! STOP!” Emma desperately tried to stop the emotional witch from destroying the whole hospital.

The hospital personnel that had been witnessing the whole ordeal ran away screaming while one of them activated the fire alarm.

“Regina!” the blonde tried to grab the brunette but she found herself falling forward.

The brunette had teleported herself out of the room. Leaving only a purple smoke behind.

“Where the hell did she go?” Emma said to herself as sprinklers sprayed water from the ceiling extinguishing the flames in the room.
