"Ohh oh she's gonna make it through she isn't awake just yet but we managed to give her blood and stitch up her wounds but she is going to need a lot of after care once she gets out it's precaution for someone trying to take their lives we can not leave her on her own for her to try it again if that is the case we will have to sign her into ..."

David just nods and goes "she's awake now" "Madom Mayor there's someone here to see you" "I don't want to see anyone" a small chocked voice says through a sob "hey don't you dare try to shut me out I am your best friend come on" Mary says saddened at the state of her best friend "Regina honey come here" wrapping her arms around her Regina just sobs into her neck "I'm so sorry I can't believe it and how how are you even talking to me I killed your baby god why didn't you just let me die" "what oh god Regina honey no Emma's not dead" "what?!" Shocked she just stared at Mary "oh honey she was badly hurt but no she's gonna be ok once she is stable enough and the doctor thinks it's ok she will be brought out of her coma and she will be fine" "oh god thank god" Regina sobs again harder this time she couldn't believe it she was alive she didn't kill her god she wasn't a murderer "why didn't you tell me?!" " oh honey I tried but you had your phone off and then when I called round last night you didn't answer and then when you still didn't answer today I used the spare key to get in and thankfully I did I can't lose you Regina you are like the sister I never had" "I'm so sorry Mary I should have been more careful I'm so sorry" Regina sobs "come here look Emma was hurt and I wish she wasn't but she will be fine you know if you didn't hit her they wouldn't of found the bullet that was still inside her" "what?!"
