--5 Years Later--

Faye groaned as she woke up, not in the bedroom, but instead in the basement prison she had in her house just for her counterpart. Faye could immediately tell that she went through a violent episode while her other persona was in control. The once neat and tidied room was a wreck. Thankfully, the computer and the cameras in the house were still in tact. Of course, that was thanks to the rules Faye and her other persona imposed upon each other. 

She got out of the room via typing in a password only she knew into a keypad that allowed the door to open. After that, she had her usual breakfast, switched into a different pencil skirt and blouse with a white coat over it. She wore comfortable shoes that would allow her to move about the hospital quickly. She even made sure to pocket a voice recorder, just in case her other persona decided to take over. 

She soon left the house, and walked to the hospital. On her way there, she was greeted by others. The people who were her patients were the most friendly to her since they recalled her kindness. However in the hospital, it was cold and professional as usual. 

When the doctors came up to her to talk about the patients, she easily recalled their conditions and what would be the best solution and she told them in a quick pace so they could help the patient without further delay. After Faye tended to some patients herself, she headed for Mary Margaret's room to check on her condition.

Mid-afternoon strolled by, and Regina made it a point to visit the hospital; something she did once a week every Saturday at exactly 4:00 p.m. to ensure that 'Jane Doe' stayed a Jane Doe. Sure it was a bit paranoid; the curse had proven time and time again to hold up strong and without any gaping holes that Regina had to fill, but the conversation she and Rumpelstiltskin had just before she initiated the curse never left her thoughts; always making her wonder.

Walking into the hospital room, Regina didn't even so much as glance at the other patients; her eyes set dead on the glass room that held Snow White and allowed herself in. It was the same as last week, and every week before that. Snow hadn't moved; not a single hair out of place and Regina couldn't help but to smile, fully well knowing that her back was to the cameras...just in case...

The Head Doctor soon entered the room, and she greeted the mayor politely once again, unfazed by her presence, "Hello, Madam Mayor," 

"Dr. Stevenson." Regina acknowledged with a slight nod. "And how's our patient doing today? Anyone to see her lately?"

Faye answered as she checked on the machines that kept her breathing, "Jane seems to be the same as ever...Her condition is stable, but no one, except you, has come to see her as of yet. No infections either," 

"Good, good." Regina said more to herself, then catching her potential mistake of making it seem that Jane Doe being in the hospital still was a good thing, she added on, "At least her condition hasn't taken a turn for the worse." 

Regina quickly cleared her throat and looked over the comatose Snow once more, feeling that sense of pride welling up in her that [i]she[/i] had done this; [i]she[/i] had taken away Snow's happiness. It was a good feeling, knowing that she had won; another reason she kept coming back every week.

Faye looked up from her notes on Jane Doe's medical condition when Regina made her comment, and she looked at the mayor. When she ammended her statement, Dr. Stevenson commented "True..." 

"As her emergency contact, you'll let me know straight away if there is any change?" Regina asked, though her tone made it sound more like a demand than a question.

When the mayor asked her question, Faye answered as she wrote every detail of Jane Doe's condition down, calmly but not in a meek and fearful way, like almost everyone else would answer if she used that tone, "Of course, Madam Mayor. There's no change when it comes to emergency contacts," 

Regina wasn't put off by the Dr.'s tone one bit, she was far too emersed in swimming in this happy feeling to even really notice.

"Thank you Doctor, but I really must be going now." She said looking to Faye and let up a small smile. "You do good work here doctor; just...keep doing what it is that you've always done." Regina added on, her smile widening a bit more at the double implication before leaving the room to exit the hospital and return back home.
