I do not own once upon a time or any of the characters, and this is an AU story. So please review and let me know if I should continue it.

Pov: Emma

I watched the trees go buy as Kelly talked about my new foster home, She didn't know much about the town, all she know was that someone called and told her they had found me the perfect foster home.

"Emma, are you ok sweetie?"

As I looked up at her, I noticed she was smiling at me.

"Are we almost there?"

"Not much longer sweetie, and don't worry, you will love it there."

I tried not to worry, but this was my fifth foster home this year. I tried to look excited, but I wasn't very convincing. And I could tell she was worried about me, she has been my case worker since I can remember, and is the only person I know that ever cared about me. As the trees went by my window, I noticed a sign that said welcome to storybrooke, and it wasn't long until we were pulling up to a clock tower. As I looked at the clock I noticed it wasn't moving and wondered if it was broken, but when Kelly got out she asked me to wait in the car until she fond the right apartment, but I was never good at staying still, so as soon as she was gone I was out of the car and looking around. I was looking at the shops when I fond one full of strange things so I went inside to get a better look. As I looked at all of the stuff I noticed a snow globe on the counter, it was silver and inside was a man and a woman. As I turned the key in the back it started playing a song, and as I listen to it I felt like I knew the song.

"Hello deary." as soon as I heard his voice I turned around, and found a man behind the counter. He was holding a cane and had a strange smile on his face, and as I looked at him I started to get scared. "I see you found my snow globe."

"Yes." I was scared and it was hard to answer.

"Do you have a name deary."

"It's... Emma." as I told him my name he started walking over to me.

"Emma, that's a lovely name, I'm Mr. gold and it's a pleasure to meet you Emma."

Just as he got to me, Kelly came in.

"Emma there you are, I was so worried." when she saw the strange man in front of me she turned to him. "I'm sorry about this, I hope she didn't break anything."

"Everything is fine, but before you go." he then turned to the counter and picked up the snow globe, and handed it to me. I was about to tell him I couldn't buy it when he stopped me.

"It's a gift, think of it as a my way of welcoming you to town."

I thanked him and made my way out of his shop, and wonder if he was really so scary.

Pov: Mary Margaret

When I got the call asking if I was open to taking in a foster child I was shocked, I had only just applied to be a foster parent, but I didn't think it would happen. So when they called and told me they had a little girl they wanted to place with me I was shocked, and exited. I had spent most of the day getting everything ready for her. I had gotten the up stairs all set up for her and was now cleaning the kitchen, that's when I heard a knock at my door and I practically ran to open it. And as I opened up the door, I found a woman standing there, her brown hair was pulled into a bun and she was looking at a piece of paper.

"Hello, are you miss Blanchard?"

"Yes."

"Hi, I'm Kelly, I wasn't sure which apartment was yours." as I looked around her I noticed she was alone and I started to worry. "You're probably wondering where Emma is, I had her wait in the car until I fond your apartment."

I was relived when she told me she was in the car, for a second I thought they might have changed their minds. As we made our way out to her car, she started telling me all about Emma. But when we got out to her car we found that she was gone. We immediately started to look around to see if we could find her, since it was a small town I was sure she couldn't have gotten too far. That's when I noticed a child inside of the Mr. golds shop.

"Is that her?"

"Yes."

She then ran over to his shop, and as I watched the I noticed Mr. gold give the little girl a snow globe. As they made there was back I could see kelly telling the young girl that she shouldn't have run off, but she was fascinated with the globe and didn't hear anything she was saying. I couldn't help but smile as I watch them, the little girl had long golden yellow hair and she was in the cutest dress. As I looked at her I wondered how old she was, this whole time I had never asked that question, I was just too excited.

"I'm sorry about that, now then Emma this is miss Blanchard, she will be your new foster mom."

"You can call me Mary Margaret or just Mary if you want." I don't know why I was so nervous, being a teacher, I am around kids all day, but for some reason her hating me was unbearable. But when she looked at me and smiled my worries started to fade, but as I watched her I could tell she was worried. "Well, why don't we go upstairs."

As we gathered up her things and made our way to my apartment, I wondered if she would like, but as soon as we walked in the smile on her smile had told me she did.

"Um, where's my room."

I froze when I heard her voice, it was so soft and sounded so sweet, but when she gave me a funny look, I realized I had was wondering why I hadn't answered yet.

"Oh... Sorry, your room is right up those stairs. Emma how old are you?"

"I'm seven, why?"

"I was just wondering, why don't you go see your room."

As she walked up the stairs, I noticed that she counted each one, but my attention was taken from her when Kelly started talking.

"I'm sorry about earlier Emma likes to explore."

"It's ok, all kids like to explore it's a good thing." as I told her it was ok, she had a strange look. "Is everything ok."

"I'm sorry its just that her last few families had a hard time with her wandering off, and you're the first one that to say it was a good thing.

I felt bad and wonder how much Emma had been thrown before coming to live with me.

"She is such a sweet and kind girl, I don't know no one seems to want her. Her life has only just started, and yet she has been throwing more than most ever will."

"Your right, I don't understand how anyone would fall in love with her."

I wasn't sure when we got that call telling me that you would be a good fit for Emma but I was wrong, you and her seem perfect for each other."

As she mentioned that someone call her, I wonder what she meant. "Someone called you."

"Well, my boss and recommended you."

As she told me that I wondered who could have called them.

"Well, I needed to get going, but first, you should know it won't be easy to get Emma to open up to you, she has been hurt throw a lot, but there's something about you, that makes me think you can handle it."

She then said her goodbyes to Emma and left, I then helped take her things up to her room and put them away. After that I went to the kitchen to make for dinner, and remembered I had forgotten to go to the store, so I decided we would go to granny's, so I made my way up the stairs to tell her. But as I started up the stairs, I heard a song playing, it was soft like a lullaby, and I don't know why, but it felt like I had heard it some were before.
