At eighteen most people have the comfort of home. Their parents. Everything. They were out every night with their friends. They didn't have what Emma swan had. The struggle of never yet having the comfort of a home, the life in the system where she was moved on way too frequently that she never got close to anyone, the feeling of never knowing her parents. Yet, most importantly. They didn't have to face eleven months behind bars whilst pregnant.

Eighteen, in jail and pregnant. Emma Swan most certainly wasn't your usual teenager. She wasn't your normal person.

Three weeks ago, her boyfriend, Neil Cassidy, sent her to retrieve his stolen watches for him, for them both to go on and sell them. Little did Emma know, when she reached their meeting point she wasn't greeted by Neil, but by police. Police Neil had called to rat Emma out.

Now here she was, facing the following eleven months in prison whilst coming to terms with the fact that she also now had a child to bring into the world. Alone.

Since the day she was born, Emma had never known her parents and was convinced her parents didn't care. After her birth, they never even had the decency to take her to the local hospital, they just left her there, abandoned on the side of the road for someone to find her. Ever since she had lived her life in the system. Yes, she'd had a foster family till she was 3 but as soon as they had their own child, Emma was sent back. Since then, she'd spent no longer than a year or two in and one place and trusted or got close to no one.

She had made that mistake once when she was younger with Lily, she trusted her, got close to her, only to find out she had lied and what she said was not true at all. After that she decided not to trust anyone! Until she met Neil and Killian.

Until she landed where she was Neil, well was obviously her boyfriend. Killian her best friend. What she couldn't say to Neil, she told Killian.

Both Neil and Emma met Killian roughly, 5 months after they met and had just started dating whilst stopping over one night in a B&B. Turns out Killian was new to the area and didn't know anyone so once the couple introduced themselves, they all became friends.

Though it was new, Emma liked the idea of Killian and Neil being her friends. In two different senses of the word. It was a new adventure that, surprisingly to herself, she was really excited to explore.

Quickly they all became friends! Yes, Killian didn't follow Emma and Neil everywhere. Staying with them all the time but they were always phoning, texting, meeting as often as they could. But it was a friendship that worked for the three of them! A friendship they all found themselves at home in. For three orphans that was.

That was maybe why they connected so much. They all had that one thing in common that connected them all in ways others wouldn't understand. But yet. Here Emma was, having not spoken to Killian in nearly two months and having been abandoned by Neil locked away in a strange state, unsure of what to do.

'The first things first,' she thought. 'I need to get in touch with Killian.'

'Guards!' She shouted to the guards in the corridor outside of her cell.

"What Swan?'

'Can I make a phone call?' Emma asked. When she arrived, she was told she was allowed one call a week. Three weeks in she was yet to make a single one.

"Fine. Come on.' The guard announced opening her cell and taking her out to where the phones are.

'You're going to have to look in my phone for the number. It's Killian Jones.' She added as the guard huffed before they both walked to reception to receive the number for her to phone.

'Here. Now make your call.' He huffed once more as she strolled back over to the phone unsure of whether she wanted to do this. 'Who knows what Killian was going to say' she thought picking up the phone slowly and dialling the number

'Hello?' Came the british voice through the phone. 'Who's this?'

'Killian?' Emma whispered. Nerves prominent in her voice. 'It's me. It's Emma.'

SORRY ITS SO SHORT! I wanted to write the first chapter and get it up so you know. Here it is. I don't know how this is going to turn out but yeah...
