10

Emma scooped Henry up off the floor and I grabbed the apple turnover putting it into the container. I slung Henry's back pack over my shoulder and ran outside to join Emma in her car. We drove to the hospital as fast as we could and the moment we ran in, he was placed on a bed and wheeled into a private room.

"Henry, can you hear me? Come on, Henry. Wake up, please. Come on, Henry. Come on. You can do it" Emma said as we watched them putting wires and tubes into him.

"Ma'am, let me take you to-" a nurse said and tried to pull her away but Emma shook her off

"No, I am not going anywhere!" she shouted.

"There's no pupil response. What happened? Did he fall? Hit his head?" Doctor Whale asked and I shook my head trying to be calm unlike Emma who was losing her mind.

"He ate this, I think it's poisoned" I said and held up the box holding the turnover.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

"His airway's clear. Did he vomit? Any convulsion or disorientation?" the doctor asked and I shook my head again.

"He took a bite of this, and then he just collapsed. So, run the test for arsenic, or bleach, or Drano, or whatever could've done this to him!" Emma said snatching the box out of my hands and shaking it at the doctor.

"The boy is showing no symptoms that would suggest neurotoxins. So, whatever's going on, this is not the culprit" Whale told her and went back to helping Henry.

" Well, what else could it be?" Emma asked and I stepped back to the door, remaining in the room but staying silent. I shouldn't be here. I wasn't his mother.

"I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out" Whale told Emma.

"He's going to be okay, though, right?" she asked.

"Right now, we just need to stabilize him, cause he's slipping away. Is there anything else that you can remember? Any little detail?" he asked and Emma shook her head.

"Anna was there too, and she saw the same thing that I did" Emma said and thy both looked to me stood by the door hugging Henry's backpack. I nodded in reply.

"Look, I understand you're frustrated, Miss Swan, I do. But I need something to treat. And, right now, there is no explanation. It's like..." Doctor Whale said unable to think of a word. Emma walked over to me and took Henry's back pack and emptied its continence onto a table.

His book fell out along with a pile of chocolate wrappers and pens and Emma picked it up.

" Like magic" I muttered finishing of the doctor's sentence and Emma nodded stiffly.

Emma was transfixed on the book for a while and Regina ran into the room all a fluster. "Where's my son?" she asked and I pointed to the bed. Emma, now back to reality snapped on seeing Regina.

"You did this" she growled. I watched in disbelief as Emma grabbed hold of Regina and pushed her against the wall. The nurse stepped back in shock as Emma pushed Regina into a storage cupboard and lot of bangs and shouts came from inside. That did it. I walked over to the door and threw it open to see Regina up against a wall and Emma in her face, with what sounded like a growl escaping her throat.

"Stop it!" I screamed and the both looked at me. "Stop it, stop it stop it" I repeated. "This is not now to fix the current problem. Henry is ill and you two are his mothers, find a solution to the problem and fast. But do it together. Ripping each others throats out will not help. What would Henry say if he woke up and found out about this?" I asked.

"She tried to poison me with that turnover and Henry ate it" Emma growled and Regain slumped giving in.

"What?" she asked.

"Is it true that the turnover was poisoned?"

"Yes" Regina breathed.

"I was leaving, why did you do this?" Emma asked.

"Because as long as your alive, Henry will never be mine"

"He won't be anyone's unless you fix it!" I said and Regina shook her head.

"I can't" she said.

"Don't you have magic?" Emma asked and I cocked my head to one side. Apparently we where going to use magic to save Henry. Great.

"That was the last of it. It was supposed to put you to sleep!" Regina said and Emma growled letting Regina go.

"What's it going to do to Henry?" I asked and Regina shook her head.

"I don't know, the magic here is unpredictable" she said

"So he might die" Emma said and I gasped.

"How could you do that?" I asked.

"I didn't mean Henry to eat it" she said.

"Yes, but to anyone..."I mumbled.

"We need help. There's one other person in this town who knows about this... Knows about magic" Regina said and I frowned trying to think of someone who would be as crazy as Regina.

"Mr. Gold" Emma said and Regina nodded.

"Actually, he goes by Rumpelstiltskin" she said.

"Right well you go do that, I'll stay here with Henry. I call if anything happens" I promised. The two looked at each other and nodded before sprinting out of the room. I sighed and walked back into Henry's room and began to pack his things back into his bag. But I kept out the book and sat in a chair in the corner of the room letting the doctors do their work.
