Chapter 1: The One When Emma Returns
Fiona Royce flashed her best smile as she finished up her speech to the eager audience at National City Convention Center, "So I'm more than happy to announce that I will be joining the race for mayor of this beautiful city. Thank you for all of your support and love. I wish my opponent the best of luck," she nodded before walking away from the podium as everyone clapped.
Regina gave her younger sister Lena a look before rolling her eyes, "Oh please. I can see right through her beige teeth."
Lena chuckled, "Don't fret, you're a Mills, we don't lose."
"Damn right we don't," Veronica Mills strutted over to her older sisters, "Hi. Sorry, I'm late," she apologized before kissing both of their cheeks, "Student council meeting."
"It's quite alright dear, you didn't miss much," Regina said crossing her arms as they walked through downtown, each of their pair of black pumps clicking the pavement.
"Where's mom?" Veronica asked.
"Budget meeting, its the last one of her term," Regina said before stopping at her 2018 Benz, "I'll see you guys tomorrow.."
"Gina wait," Lena said before walking over, "The twins will be 16 in three weeks, have you thought about—"
"No, I have not and I don't plan on it," Regina said before getting in her car.

"There you go Ms. Swan," Trudy, the bookstore clerk smiled as she handed over the books, "Welcome to National City University."
"Thank you," Kara Swan smiled as she grabbed them off the counter before turning around and bumping into a not so soft body.
"Shit!" Gideon exclaimed before reaching and helping up the woman he knocked down, "Im sorry."
"It's fine. I'm a clutz," Kara chuckled as she fixed her glasses.
"Are you new here?" He asked.
She nodded, "Yup, just transferred from SBU."
"Oh really? What year are you?"
"Senior," she nodded.
"Why transfer when you're so close to getting your degree? Didn't that mess up your credits?"
"This is a closer commute to my job, I got a new one and no, my credits are fine," she shrugged, "I'm Kara by the way, Kara Swan."
"Gideon Royce," he nodded.
"As in Fiona Royce's son?" She raised a curious brow.
"Precisely," he nodded with a chuckle.
"How nice, are you excited for your mom?"
He nodded again, "Very but I'm also nervous, the Mills family has run this city for so long and with Cora backing Regina, it's going to be a battle."
"Cora Mills was by the far the best mayor this city has had and I'm sure Regina would make a lovely one as well but that doesn't mean your mom has no chance. People like fresh faces," she nodded.
"I know I do," Gideon winked at her.
Kara's eyes widened as she checked her watch while backing away, "Woah, dude I'm totally gay and totally late, I've gotta run but I'm always down for new friends, see ya around Gideon."

"Thirty minutes?" Emma Swan asked her younger sister as she climbed into the red Camaro.
"Sorry I got held up settling into my new school," Kara said before giving Emma a goofy smile, "Welcome home!" She squealed before hugging her tight.
Emma chuckled and hugged her back, "Okay okay, enough with the mushy," she said before pulling back and looking out the window, "Downtown doesn't look the same at all."
"Yeah I know right? Gold Industries has upgraded everything. It's been what...15 years since you've been in National City?"
"Yup, been a long time," Emma said thinking back to prom night with Regina before she shook herself out of her thoughts, "Where do you live? South side or north side?"
"Um I actually just got a small apartment downtown," Kara blushed a bit.
"Woah, that's huge. Downtown is super expensive. How much is that new job paying you?" Emma exclaimed with wide eyes.
Kara only blushed more, "They paid for the apartment and moving expenses. Mr. Gold is paying me a lot to be the companies publicist."
"I bet he because he does hella shady shit and needs someone to make him look good."
"He's not that bad Emma. So where I am taking you?" She glanced at her sister.
Emma took a deep breath, she had thought about it on the plane and she knew where she belonged, "Take me to the White Worm."
Kara nearly stomped on her breaks before she simply clutched her steering wheel tighter, "Riverdale? You don't want to go to Storybrooke where mom and dad are?"
"Yes, Riverdale. Despite what mom and dad have probably brainwashed Betty to believe, we were born and raised in Riverdale and so was dad," Emma scoffed.
"No no, they totally haven't forgotten their roots. Betty goes to Riverdale High, it's a commute but dad insisted that she go where we all went. I just thought you said you were...changed and came back to get your life back.."
"I have and I will. I'm still opening a club downtown but I don't have the money for a house right now so I'll stay with my boys and not my parents," Emma nodded surely.
"To the Whyte Wyrm it is," Kara nodded as she got on the expressway.

Regina shuffled into her mansion through the backdoor carrying about seven bags of groceries, "Robin!"
Robin Loxley, Regina's boyfriend of three years jogged down the stairs, "Yes, my love?"
"Uh help," she held up her arms causing him to rush over and help her with the bags, "So did you get the deal?"
"Yes," he smiled before pecking her lips, "The museum is coming along nicely, Belle is doing an excellent job with it."
"Did she say when the grand opening was?"
"Wednesday," he nodded.
"Oh, I can't wait. Is Charlie here?" She asked which made him raise his brow, "Okay so that's a no."
As if on cue, 16 year old Charlie walked into the kitchen with her best friend Ava Lodge, "Hey mom," she smiled, ignoring Robin.
"Hi, Ms. Mills," Ava smiled.
"Hi girls," Regina nodded, "Robin give us a minute," she said causing him to leave, "Your teacher called me," she crossed her arms.
Ava whistles and looked away tapping the marble island in the middle of the kitchen. Charlie scoffed, "That bitch."
"Charlotte," Regina warned.
"Mom, I was two minutes late to class—"
"You come to class ten minutes late everyday!" Regina snapped.
Charlie snapped her mouth shut, "Please don't ground me," she whined. She cracked, no one in that house ever tried to argue with Regina because it was simply a battle they wouldn't win.
"Ha!" I chuckled, "You're past grounded. You are to go to school, go to class on time, go to practice and come straight home. Nothing in between. When you arrive home, your phone and MacBook goes on my desk in my office, you are to do your homework and take your ass to bed. I'll decide if I want to feed you or not."
They both gasped and put their hand over their mouth, "You can't be serious!" Charlie exclaimed.
"Oh my dear, I'm very serious. I'm about to go through the biggest election of my career so I'm stressed, my period came this morning, and I've been running all day on five hours of sleep so I dare you to test me today, my love," Regina said softly.
Charlie simply handed her mother her phone and grabbed Ava's hand before dragging her to her room.
"I'll call you down for dinner when it's ready!" Regina called after them, sweetly.
"Can you believe her?" Charlie paced, "Josie is holding pussycat tryouts, tomorrow!"
Ava ran her fingers through her hair, "Just calm down babes, maybe Josie will understand. Just send her a video of you singing, or.."
"Or?" Charlie stopped and crossed her arms over her chest raising a brow to her best friend, "Go on."
"We could start our own group," Ava smirked.
"Oolala I like how you think," I nod, "Okay, I'm down. Let's start planning," she smiled and laid down on her stomach after getting a notebook from her bag.
"Charlie?" Ava questioned nervously.
She looked up, "Yeah?"
"Do you...do you ever think about your other parent? Ever wonder what their like?" She asked softly.
Charlie looked down before sitting up and pulling her knees to her chest, "All the time," she admits before sighing, "Henry thinks she'll come back but I know that's not true."
Ava tilted her head, "She?"
The blonde nodded, "Yeah, one day last year we kept harassing mom about who our other parent was and she finally spit it out that it was a woman who was born with a rare condition...a penis. She never said her name, showed us pictures or ever brought it up again. So I imagine that she must've been a horrible person because who would leave their girlfriend and kids?"
"Wow, that's so...intriguing. Your mom didn't say what happened to her?"
"No, she only said that she left once they graduated high school," Charlie shrugged, "For all I care, she can burn in hell for whatever it is she did to mom."
Riverdale High School February 2003
Regina laughed as she and her best friend, Zelena Blossom walked down the hallway on their way to English, "Okay then what happened?"
"Cheryl just held onto his hair, Hades was just screaming and screaming," she chuckled, "But he's enjoying being a daddy I think."
"That's good dear," she said as they walked into class and sat in their regular seat.
Emma walked in Neal sporting their black leather serpent jackets, "Sup babe?"
"Nothing much, did you do your homework?" Regina asked.
"Yeah right," Neal scoffed laughing.
"Emma," Regina sighed disappointed, "You promised that'd you'd try harder. Don't you want to graduate?"
"Yeah, I got this. I promise," Emma gave a soft smile before pecking her lips.
"Hey Zelena," Killian called from the back of the class, "Let me know if you need any help knocking off any of that baby weight, I'm sure I could work you out," he winked.
Both Regina and Zelena scrunched up their faces, "Ew," they said in sync.
Zelena sighed, "First I was the pregnant girl and now I'm the post pregnant girl?"
"Ignore him, he's a Goonie. They're partially brain dead," Neal chuckled.
When class was over Regina followed Emma to her locker, "Are we still on for tonight?"
"Babe, you seriously want me to drive all the way to the north side for some silly party?"
"Yes, please. My mother was just elected mayor, please come and dress nice. Wear that sweater, I bought you," she said as she played with the lapels on the blonde's jacket, "Is that a hickey?"
"What?" Emma's brows furrowed and stepped back.
Regina frowned, "Who was she?"
"Regina not this again," Emma sighed.
"Who was she?!"
Everyone in the hallway stopped and looked at the couple. Regina was dating the biggest player at school, what did she expect? Emma smoothed down the hair leading up to her ponytail, playing it cool for all of the eyes, "Ruby."
Regina's could feel her heart in her stomach now, "So..you just don't care about hurting me do you? You're just going to continue to cheat on me?"
"Baby it wasn't like that, you know I love you," she pulled her closer only to get slapped harder than ever before.
"You, Emma Swan are truly disgusting and you do not know what love is," Regina spat before storming off.
Snow nearly fainted as her middle child stood in front of her, "You took her where?!"
Kara winced, "She wanted to be with the Serpents mom, please don't make this a big deal."
"My daughter is here to get focused, not fall back into the trap of those gang members!"
"Ma, why are you yelling at me? Yell at her or something, this isn't my fault," she threw her hands up defensively.
Snow pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, "What am I going to do with her?"
Kara sighed before making her plate for dinner, "You made her favorite," she smiled.
"Doesn't matter, she's not here to eat it," the pixie haired woman sighed, "Elisabeth!"
"Coming!" Betty called as she jogged down the stairs of their house before walking in the living room, "Hey Kar."
"Hey sis, cute sweater," Kara nodded as she sat down.
Snow smiled, "Elisabeth before you eat, can you please go into the attic and bring me that box of Emma's things?"
"Sure thing," she nodded before jogging back upstairs before pulling down the stairs to the attic and climbing up, "Creepy," she mumbled to herself as she looked around through the darkness before turning on the light and walking to the corner where she remembered the box to be. She reached to open the box to make sure it was the right one but helped as she walked into a spiderweb causing her to stumble into a pile of papers. She quickly wiped herself off and sat up and squinted before picking up a file labeled 2004. She opened it and gasped lighted as she picked up the picture of her parents holding babies, smiling for the camera. She flipped through and saw a copy of a contract, "Oh my god."

Emma walked into the Whyte Wyrm and looked around, "Wow, this place hasn't changed much."
Everyone froze and stared at her, when the music stopped Jughead turned around and leaned over the banister before gasping, "Serpent legend," he whispered, "Uh dad! You might wanna get out here!" He called over his shoulder.
August rushed over to Emma and hugged her, "Emma! Oh god I thought you were lying."
The blonde chuckled, "No Auggie it's really me. I'm home, it's so good to see you. You smell like leather."
He pulled away and laughed, "You look good. I invited some chicks over."
"Ah, you know me so well," Emma smirked.
"What the hell are you doing here kid?" FP asked as he walked down the stairs.
Emma gulped before turning to face her serpent king, "FP, this is where I belong."
He grabbed the collar of her red leather jacket and pushed her back, "Go! You are better than this, no way."
"Always a serpent," she argued pushing him back and fixing her jacket, "Why are you so against this?!"
"Swan, your mother told me not to let you in here so I ain't. Now, you go home. You hear me?"
"I'm not a fucking child FP, August told me about your troubles, I can help you-"
"No, go!"
"Why?!"
"Neal's in jail!"
Emma gasped slightly, "What?"
"I can't let nothing happen to you kid, we're about to go to war with the Goolies and I told your mama I'd help you get on the right track," he nodded.
"FP let me help you, I'm not a kid anymore. You nor her can make decisions for me anymore," she said before going upstairs to follow August to his room.
Jughead raised a brow at the scene that unfolded in front of him. He had only heard stories of Emma but they sounded like ancient tales to him. Emma Swan: The Great Serpent Savior, he was now very curious. Who was this woman?
"So where have you been exactly? I'm all ears?" August asked as he sat on the edge of the bed that was declared as Emma's.
"Well…" Emma started as she began unpacking, "When I left, I went to the university of Wales, then I went to Haiti to build houses and help out.."
"That's awesome, you're always thinking of others," he chuckled.
"Yeah but not as awesome as Africa, I know Regina would've loved it. I built schools and taught the little girls how to read," Emma smiled, "I've been living man but I'm 33 now and I miss Regina, I want to make things right, I want to open my club and make people smile through music and good time, ya know?"
"I feel you Em, totally with you," he nodded, "But Regina, has a boyfriend and she is running for mayor, she has a lot on her plate."
"Oh Auggie, you make me laugh. No boyfriend of Regina's is a match for me," she shrugged before going to shower.
"Ugh Ethel!" Veronica exclaimed as she looked at the poster of herself, "Purple is my color, yes but I'm wearing purple in the picture so it just blends with the background. You simply could've left it white!" She snapped at the chubby girl.
"Stand down Regina George," Cheryl said as she swayed in the room, "I have a proposition for you," she blinked, "If you will," she scoffed before grabbing the raven haired girl's wrist and pulling her into the hallway.
"What do you want Cheryl? I'm trying to work on my campaign," Ronnie whined.
"Don't stress yourself, you'll have all of our full support but first, I need you to give this to a certain nephew of yours," she smiled before handing her a black envelope sealed with a red kiss.
"Henry? Why? What's this?"
"Ah ah, that's for me to know and for him to find out," Cheryl nodded.
"He's my nephew, it's my job to protect him."
"I'm asking him to homecoming," she rolled her eyes not really interested in Veronica knowing that detail.
"My 15 year old nephew? Uh Cheryl, you'll be 18 soon girl, this is a no go," Veronica replied.
"He is handsome and basketball king, I've had my eye on him for a while and mama's ready to pounce," Cheryl smirked as she watched Henry walk into the hallway with his team.
"Uh okay but you have English with him later right? Why not give it to him yourself? Or when you go over to his house. Aren't your mom and Regina like best friends?"
"All facts boo but I'm rarely at his house and I want this to be discreet so just do this for me. Oh please Ronnie," Cheryl pouted.
"Ew okay okay. Nothing makes me sicker than the site of you crying," she rolled her eyes, "I'll give it to him," she nodded before being swooped away by a certain blonde, "Kinda in the middle of a convo B!"
"This can't wait," Betty said before pushing her in the classroom used for the Blue and Gold, Riverdale High's school newspaper.
Veronica chuckled lightly, "Okay, what's the sitch?"
"No time for jokes, look at what I found," she said before handing her the file before pacing.
The raven haired teenager played with her pearl necklace as she flipped through the file, she picked up the contract and skimmed it quickly before gasping, "Oh my god Betty!"
"Yeah and Emma has no idea. I'm sure of it," she nodded confirming.
Veronica continued to read, "Wait, my mother paid your parents hush money about Regina having Henry and Charlie?!"
