Arthur was taken by his goons. Jackson hired a doctor for him to check him over. Henry texted Sarah saying Gold was in the emergency room, but there was something Gold wanted Sarah to bring from his shop to the hospital so she head over to the shop.

Sarah find the key under the mat and opened the door. She walked inside and came to the back. She stopped and saw a opened box with a beagle puppy inside. A note was attached so she picked up the note and read it.

I know you've always wanted a puppy, so I hope he makes you as happy as you've made me. Happy birthday, sweetheart! Love always, papa xxx

Sarah teared up and picked up the puppy. He was so sweet that he licked her face to make her smile.

Sarah then head in the hospital with her puppy. She promised the doctors he wouldn't be trouble and she wanted to see her father, but he was still in the emergency room.

"I'm sorry Miss, you'll have to wait. They're still working on him," a nurse told her.

Barbara then texted her to say she was on her way. And just then Jackson rang too.

While Sarah talked them, a nurse walked into Mr Gold's room after the doctors left. It was actually Harley Quinn in disguise. She walked into the room seeing Mr Gold laying motionless on the hospital bed. His head bandaged up and a tube in his mouth. Harley locked the door and walked over to him smirking darkly.

Meanwhile Harley leaned over the bed so she was close to Mr Gold's face, "are you listening to me old man, hope you're not deaf like most oldies your age. If you ever go near or after The Joker, you can kiss your daughter goodbye....because I will take her to him myself!" She gripped his chin "...and she better never go near Arthur again, otherwise...I'll kill her myself, and record it and send a copy to you, and to him!"

Mr Gold did hear her. He sensed whoever was telling him this was someone that worked with The Joker obviously. Gaston was, this had to be maybe the Harley Quinn Arthur told him about. He tried to wake up, but he wasn't able to. He wanted to try threatening her, but it was no use. Harley then smirked and walked out of the room.

"The boss wanted me to check on you, and he's sorry he can't be there. He's sleeping now, he had a couple cracked ribs, dislocated kneecap, broken nose...and a punctured lung. But don't worry. He's gonna be okay." Jackson told her.

"You're sure? I'm sorry, I just...love and care about him so much."

"I'm sure. He just needs a few days to rest and recover from the surgery. He was more angry about having stitches in his head, thanks to your penguin friend," Jackson chuckled.

Sarah noticed the nurse walk by, but she looked familiar. She looked like the woman from the paper years ago. Dr Quinnzel!?

"Jack...I think...I think I saw Harleen..."

"What?! In the hospital? I didn't realize she'd been released! I'll come over. The boss would want me to," he then hung up.

Barbara then arrived and she ran to Sarah and hugged her tightly. Sarah hugged her back and was worried. "I think Harleen Quinnzel was here... I'm scared she could've hurt my father, but they still won't let me see him."

Barbara went to a nurse and begged for a nurse to go check him over. She explained Sarah was under police protection and so was her father, and his life could be at risk. So the nurse agreed and went to check on him.

After a while she returned "Your father is still in the same condition, Miss Gold. He's stable and hasn't been hurt in any way. You can go see him now..."

Sarah picked up the puppy and went in with Barbara. Her heart broke into pieces seeing him in this condition, "Papa..."

Mr Gold was still motionless with a tube in his mouth. Different cords checking his pulse, his nerves and even his brain. She seen the bandages on his face. He had stitches on his nose and bottom lip.

Sarah walked over to him and set her puppy on the bed as she cried, "Papa...," she then held his face crying with her head rested on his. "Papa...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry, Papa."

Mr Gold heard this and it broke his heart hearing her cry and keep saying she was sorry. It wasn't her fault. Where had Fleck been? He had a lot to answer for. But right now he just wished he could comfort his daughter and tell her he'd be alright.

Sarah finally calmed down, if he was awake, he would be telling her he would be alright. He was stronger than he looked. He showed her that. His powers. She sniffled looking down. She took his hand squeezed it tightly. The puppy came to his face sniffing him and lick his face gently.

Just then there was a knock at the door and it opened, it was Jackson. He sighed and shook his head when he saw how injured Gold was. Sarah turned seeing him. She hadn't properly met Jackson. She only met him many years ago at The Joker's lair. She got up and ran to Jackson and hugged him. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't been saved. "I never told you...thank you, Mr Jackson," She choked her tears, "thank you...," she dropped her head on his chest and sobbed in his chest.

"It's alright, it was my job to be undercover in there. I'm just sorry I couldn't do anything to protect you from him while you were in that place," he hugged her and rubbed her back.

Sarah gripped on him tightly, "you're a hero too. If you hadn't make a move to tell Arthur...I think...I think I wouldn't be alive...I wouldn't even be with my Papa..."

".....don't think like that, Sarah. And really, I'm no hero. Arthur suspected the Joker of human trafficking and wanted a guy on the inside, so I went. The way I see it, I was just doing my job."

"...," Arthur said the same thing. Couldn't they see it. Yes they did the right thing, but so do heroes. She believed her father was one too, he stood up to protect his daughter. He almost died.

She then hugged him again, "still, thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way...the boss wanted me to give you this, he would've given it to you himself, but...I guess the night didn't really work out at all," he then handed Sarah a small velvet box from his pocket, "it's your birthday present."

Sarah looked at it and back at him. She looked back at the box and opened it up.

"It's like a love token ring. They're real diamonds and gold. Uh, wait a second I have to get this right...if the ring is worn with the point of the heart facing outwards it means you're single, but if it's worn with the heart pointing down, towards yourself, it means your heart belongs to the one you love."

She then smiled sweetly seeing this. Hearing this from Jackson she followed the rules. She slide the ring on her ring finger having the heart face towards her. "Can you...can you tell him, thank you. And...I love it," she sniffled.

Jackson smiled, "I will, as soon as he wakes up." He then sadly nodded towards her father, "how is he doing? Is he going to pull through?"

"...I know he will. He's not who you think he is. All I can say is...he is stronger than he looks." She replied.

Jackson smiled, "he's very similar to Arthur, he's always saying he's tougher than he looks. So yeah, I believe he will pull through too."

"...," Sarah smiled at him and back at her father.

After Barbara and Jackson left-technically, Jackson was outside watching the hospital so Harley or anyone would come back-Sarah stayed by Gold's side the whole night.

Sarah had named her puppy now. His name was Courage. Just like her favorite show she loved watching as a kid. She felt like she could relate to the little dog. Always afraid, but love always helped her to be brave. She realized just then she was brave that night at the party. She stood up to The Joker. Even tried to save her father. She wouldn't be able to move or flinch. But she did and tried everything she could. Sure she felt still afraid, but that didn't stop her.

Sarah rested her head on Gold's arm and slide her hand down and wrapped her fingers around his, holding his hand. "I love you, Papa."

Gold heard her and wished that he could answer her back and say that he loved her too. She then snuggled close to his side. She leaned in and kissed his cheek gently. She then rested her head down on his arm and fell asleep. The puppy was asleep on the chair beside the bed.
