Emma watched the clock on her office watch anticipating leaving work like a teenager on the verge of the first Friday of Spring Break, yet this wasn't a happy call that she was getting from her best friend she left in New York after coming back to break the second curse in Storybrooke. The clock finally struck twelve and she dashed out her office "I'm going for my break Dad I will be back in thirty!"
"Okay Emma be careful," Ever since breaking the curse and getting rid of Regina's ister things had finally calmed down but Emma had anticipated something. Nothing ever stayed quiet in Storybrooke for long or Emma's life in general "Emma," the Saviour heard the broken voice on the other line, her heart pounding roughly in her chest, adrenaline coursing through her veins scared of the outcome of this call. "What's happened Krystal?" She could hear the other woman having trouble breathing on the other end quickly getting worried "Kris?"
And then she chuckled but coughed "You know I haven't heard you call me that since we met on the streets," another round of coughing started up again "Emma I'm sick and I was hoping you could come down to New York and talk about Yulia."
"Your dying aren't you?' Emma's vision began to blur and quickly the Saviour moved into her bug not wanting anyone to ask questions. "Why didn't you tell me earlier Kris we could have prevented this?"
"Because it costed money Emma and I was the one that didn't want the treat me you know how I am about life and death. It's my time to go now and he needs me…"
"I wish you didn't believe that because I need you Kris," Having come back to Storybrooke she had entrusted Kris with the town's secret having even promised to bring Kris down here one day. "you were suppose to come visit Henry and I."
"Emma…" Krystal looked to her toddler, only four, watching Tom & Jerry, her laughter filling the whole room made her smile. "I'm sorry Emma I know this is hard but it's harder for me to have to let you three go."
"Have Yulia's papers ready for when I get there,"
"Henry is he coming?"
"I'm going to do the paperwork first before having him and Regina come down for the other arrangements." Emma didn't want to say funeral, her heart was already feeling like someone was squeezing the life out of it, she wanted to spare herself the hurt even though the Saviour knew when it comes down to the funeral. Emma was going to break down and her heart was going to break again "I love you Krystal Swan,"
Krystal Swan was her adoptive sister from her last home had accepted her as blood no matter that she wasn't close to blood. Both of them had protected each other and cared for each other when no one else wouldn't especially when they got out onto the streets. After being brought down for Neal's crime, Emma had sent five grand to Krystal, and kept five to herself. "I love you too; Emma Swan. Be careful." The line went dead and Emma rested her head on the wheel of her car, thinking and rethinking every situation from here on out, her heart was breaking slowly she could feel it, and what hurt the most is she couldn't do anything to make it better. The Saviour started the bug up messaging David 'I'm going to pick up Henry something came up.' that's all she left him with and headed to Henry's school.
Walking into her mother's class, seeing her pregnant belly made her sick, not that she was fat, but the fact that MM reminded her to much of Krystal when she had Yulia in her womb still. "Mom I need to take Henry out,"
"Are things okay Emma?"
"Yea just I have to talk to him he'll be at school tomorrow," Henry grabbed his things quickly following his mother out "how was your morning kid?"
"Good but what's going on? Who's dying?"
Emma bit her lip to keep the tears at bay, as they walked to Henry's castle, she sat in their usual spot letting one tear fall. Without question Henry hugged her tightly "Mom... " Emma kissed her son, fixing his hair, holding his face in her palms "I love you more than anything Henry," Henry gave his mother a confused look waiting for an answer "Krystal, Henry she's dying and . . ."
"Kris was perfect though before we left," Emma shook her head as he looked at her with disbelief "when are we leaving for New York then?"
"I'm leaving,"
"No I'm going with you,"
Emma smiled at her son's stubbornness "You are but I'm going first to take care of some paperwork and then when I figure out the arrangements I'll get your mother to bring you up to New York sounds fair?"
Henry sighed and nodded "Okay we should head home I bet mom is going to be really mad at you,"
"She won't I'll explain to her what's going on when I get to New York," Emma grabbed his bag and lead them towards her yellow bug "you'll be with me in New York soon but while I'm gone no sneaking off from Regina." They arrived to Mifflin street, Regina already outside waiting on the both of them, as she parked the yellow bug they got out, coming face to face with her. "Henry you can get inside," Henry listened and quickly went inside to get to work on the homework he did have from the morning "care to tell me why you pulled our son out of school early today?"
"I pulled him out for an emergency only time it will happen Regina," The Savior turned her back making her way back to her vehicle "I will be talking to you tomorrow about it Regina."
The Queen watched the Savior go knowing not to pry the blonde woman because if anything she knew about the younger woman is that if you pried to much is that she would close up and make a run for it. Regina learned that year's ago and learned to give her space, something some people didn't know how t give the Savior, even though she was their hero they never learned or at least she thinks that they forget is she is still human. Emma took everything Regina herself threw at her and after a few moments of weakness they had together, Regina learned Emma was fragile yet strong when needed be, something Regina had to learn under the wrath of her own mother.
