AN: This story is going to be short, probably only three or four chapters long. This is just something I wrote for fun, so the characters' interactions might be a little OOC sometimes. I changed some things from cannon to fit the timeline. Anyway, this is just a light and fun story, not meant to be taken seriously at all. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Once Upon a Time or its characters.
AU Set right after the curse was broken at the end of season one, with a slight canon divergence: Emma and Regina are a little more friendly than on the show.
Chapter 1
To say Emma Swan was in shock would be an understatement. She'd just found out that Fairytales were true. She was in fact the Savior, the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, and the alluring Mayor, who she'd had a massive crush on ever since she'd arrived in town, was the infamous Evil Queen who'd cursed them all to live in a land without magic.
Everything happened so fast. Henry had woken up with her true love's kiss and everyone had gotten their memories back. But the only thing she could think f was Regina. Regina was in danger. The blonde sheriff stormed out to the brunette's where an angry crowd was wanting for the Queen's head.
"Everyone, stop!"
Eventually, she got the townspeople to back off. The regal brunette was speechless. Sure, se felt that spark between herself and the blonde (even tough she tried very hard to deny it), and their banter had gotten a little more playful than hateful over the months, but she never expected Emma to defend her. Not now, after she'd found out who she really was and what's she'd done to get her revenge.
"Thank you" was all she managed to say.
"Anytime" said the blonde, with a bashful smile.
"Emma, honey" interrupted Mary Margaret. It was so nuts to think that that woman, who looked about her age, was actually her mother. "You saved us" now she had tears in her eyes.
"We knew she would" said David.
Mary Margaret stepped ahead and hugged her daughter. Emma didn't know what to do, she wasn't used to people hugging her, not really, so she just patted her friend's back awkwardly and waited for it to be over. David, seeing the Sheriff was clearly uncomfortable, only smiled at her and kept his distance.
"Snow, we will have plenty of time to catch up later, but we really have to tell her about you know who".
The pixy haired woman let the blonde go.
"I know" her expression changed drastically. She looked almost sad right not, which was strange, considering the circumstances.
Regina, sensing it was her cue to go, excused herself. Emma wanted her to stay, but didn't say anything. She knew she couldn't avoid talking to her parents, even though the thought terrified her.
"So… I guess you guys are my parents apparently" Emma tarts the conversation awkwardly.
"Oh, Emma honey, your father and I are so happy we are finally reunited. We can't wait to make up for all the lost time. I can't believe I have a grown up daughter. You're so beautiful. She is, isn't she, David?"
"She sure is. Just like her mother"
"Uh, thanks. I guess"
"We should all have dinner tonight to celebrate!"
"Snow, honey, I'm sure that would be perfect, but there's something we need to talk to Emma about first"
"Oh, yes"
"I'm just going to cut to the chase…"
"You have a sibling" Mary Margaret blurted out.
"What?!" This day could not get any more confusing. Never in her life had Emma had any family, now she had more than she knew what to do with"
"How? I mean, weren't you guys cursed during all these years?"
"What your mother meant to say was we gave up two babies that day. Your mother was pregnant with twins, but we kept it a secret so that Regina wouldn't go after the two of you"
"I have a twin sister?"
"Yes. There was a prophecy that the product of true love would come back on her 28th birthday to break the curse, but we had no way of knowing which one of you it would be"
"So we sent you both here to give you your best chance. You must have gotten separated when you were little. We have no idea where she is now"
"I can't believe you guys!"
"Emma…"
"No, you don't get a say in this" After the initial shock was gone, the events of the day were finally sinking in and the blonde was furious.
"You sent two innocent newborns to another realm to fend for themselves, just so you could save your precious kingdom! You could've kept us, we would be cursed, but at least we would have been together. I had to grow up in the system, shifting from house to house, from one family that didn't think I was good enough for them to another. And my sister, god! I have no idea what happened to her. For all we know she could be dead"
"Emma..."
"Leave! I can't look at you two right now"
"Snow, we'd better go and give her some space"'
"But, David.."
"Come on"
They stood up and headed for the door. Just when they were about to leave Emma asked:
"What was her name?"
"Allison"
