This fanfic was an idea I just got while I was trying to sleep...and obviously I woke up and wrote down a note so then in the morning I could start it.
It's basically Emma getting pregnant of twins with Regina, but Emma realizes it was all a mistake 'cause Regina is still with Robin, so she makes a deal with Gold and runs.
Nobody knows who Emma is anymore but Gold himself, everybody in Storybrooke got their memories wiped.
But our savior will come back because of some issues.
So yeah, that's pretty much it. Enjoy! - Also I got no beta whatsoever nor english is my language so yeah, but I promise it won't be that bad.
Chapter 1: Only choice
California – Swans' Apartment
Emma Swan was indeed having lots of trouble lately; let's just say life was going slightly well till she realized how money was vanishing and it was incredible hard to sustain herself, and two little children. Plus she was already counting how much she was going to spend on getting her children to join the kindergarten, it was already a pain in the ass trying to find cheap nanny's that could stay with her little ones for the day while she went out to work as a waitress in the day and sometimes doing night shifts as a bartender in some strip club. It wasn't her finest moments but that's what brought money to her home and that's what she used to survive and make sure her daughters would have everything they needed.
Right now she was sitting by a small table in the kitchen that was also connected to the living room and looking down at her notebook while she hit the pen slightly against it few times, she was just writing all her bills and how much she had to make before do any decision. Her twins were in the living room; Reina was sitting on the couch while hugging a pillow as she watched some channel about nature, which wasn't surprising to Emma because she always knew Reina wasn't very fond of cartoons and prefers to feed her little brain with information, at least information that is related to animals; Eris on the other hand was sitting on the carpet playing with her toys, right now she was playing with her car toys and her dinos, Eris was the girl who could play with girl and boy toys at anytime and she could careless if she was gifted a Barbie or a car; which was good at least Emma knew she wasn't raising Eris to be a girl obsessed with her looks and make sure she looked like some doll figure.
Her twins were identical, there was no spot mark on their face, or on their arms, or even their legs to know the difference, but they did had a spot on their hip and Eris had it on her left hip while Reina had it on her right hip, Emma finds it incredible extraordinary and delightful; it's just adorable seeing it, and she actually used those spots to help her out a lot when they were babies, cause she gotta admit even though she spent eight months pregnant(they were premature) and she was the only one taking care of them, she had a big struggle trying to figure out who was who, and even now time to time when she's doing stuff in a rushed way she mistaken the girls. Like once she had gave Reina her medicine then she got a call, and whenever she was done with that call she was going to give Eris the medicine as well but she was already going to give it to Reina if the girl didn't say anything about it. Can't blame her.
Both girls had long wavy brown hair, green eyes and full little lips. They were four years old, but they were actually short, Emma always figured it was because they born premature. So whenever she looked at them they always looked they were one year younger and that was just adorable. - Even though they were extremely look alike, the spot on their hip wasn't the only thing that could make Emma know who was who, their personality was very different as well. Reina was a badass child, she knew a lot for her age and also knew how to stand up for herself, like last time she got in an argument with some mother at the park because Reina pushed a boy, later on Emma found out that the boy had pushed Reina first and she simple gave him the same medicine, and even though Emma knew she had to teach Reina to be more calm and don't do that again, she couldn't help but to laugh at that and also she wanted to make sure her children wouldn't suffer bullying, so she'd rather have them attack other children if they were attacked first.
However Eris had never hurt a child before, she was innocent as a flower, she'd always be more busy having fun on her own without bothering anybody and sometimes when she found some child alone as well she'd go and play with him/her. Basically if anybody asked Emma who was the good twin and who was the evil twin, she'd already have an answer. - Even if Reina behavior sometimes is what worries Emma the most, Eris is also a concern because Emma doesn't know how she will react to be in kindergarten and how will she be at elementary school, and how is she even going to survive high school?! So yeah, that's something that worries Emma a lot, but she has to take one day at a time.
Her biggest trouble right now was to figure out how she was going to survive next month, where she worked as a waitress didn't got any tips because her douchebag boss took her tips, and since she only worked the night shift at the stripclub friday and saturday, there wasn't enough money to pay the rent, pay bills, pay food for three people, clothes for three people, and hospital bills for one person. Who needed the hospital? Eris, she needed it the most, it seems Eris born with cystic fibrosis, and Emma was aware of what it was at the time it was diagnosed to Eris because she read a bunch of books about babies and stuff, and she found one that had all the diseases a child could have, Emma kind of regrets reading it because she was paranoid for awhile, but then she's glad she knew enough of that disease; whoever it was a big shock and Emma cried for weeks.
Eris treatment was very expensive, there was constant follow ups trips with docs, vitamins because Eris didn't gain weight like Reina did, her digestive problem was also a big trouble, so she always had bunch of medicine for Eris, either for her lungs, body or digestive system. Lately Emma was able to buy a machine that she now uses on Eris, it helps cleaning the mucus in her lungs...thinking about that Emma looked up at the clock in the kitchen and noticed it was already time for Eris get her treatment with that machine.
Getting up, Emma went get the machine that she saved in the bathroom and went back to the living room, she plug it somewhere near her daughter. "Come on, Eris. Time to clean those lungs." Emma said with a kind done as she watched little Eris standing up and fixing her dark blue warm pajamas and walking up to her mother.
"Al'eady? Aww." Eris pouted as she sat down on a small stool she had there. Eris had trouble with speaking, like most children did, her trouble was the 'r's, she couldn't say them right, so that's another thing Emma has to worry because she can't afford going to the therapy, so she managed to search some exercises she could do with her daughter to help her out.
"Yup, little monkey." Emma chuckled slightly and began to put a vest on Eris tiny body, before tightening it around her and make sure it was right placed. After that she picked up the mask that was connected to the machine from a tube and put it on her daughter's face.
Eris grabbed the mask to fix it better and then lowered her hands reaching out for her toys. Emma seeing that went to pick up the t-rex and handed it to Eris before turn on the machine and completely ignore the annoying noises that machine made. It wasn't only sending steam with medicine into Eris lungs, the vest was also vibrating to make slight pressures in Eris lungs so it could make the mucus less thick and get rid of it. - Eris was already entertained with her t-rex that she could careless with what the machine was doing, the little girl was used to the all treatments she had to go through so it become pretty normal to her, she didn't seem to mind the all struggle it could be to anybody else.
Emma knew Eris wasn't sad because of the treatment, she knew Eris only pouted before because it meant she was going to bed right after this, she just wanted to play a little more. She also saw how Reina frowned slightly because it also meant she was going to the bed as well. Emma done this everytime Eris woke up and ate her breakfast, and then everytime before her sleep, she wanted to make sure Eris wouldn't have big troubles during her sleep nor during her day.
"Scoot." Emma mumbled as she patted Reina's thigh, making the girl move to the side on the small couch and letting her mother sit down besides her. Emma picked up the remote and changed the channel to something way more entertaining for her, which was Live at the Apollo, she loved those silly british jokes.
"Mommy! I was watching the lions!" Reina quickly complained as she clenched her fists and looked shocked at her mother.
"Geez, Reina, you watched that all day, let's watch something funny before going to bed." Emma rolled her eyes and looked at Reina before poke her nose slightly.
Reina frowned and folded her arms before move her head away after her mother poked her nose. "Not fair! I was first!"
"You was here first. But I am older, so who wins now?" Emma perked up an eyebrow and grinned.
"Meanie." Reina jumped of the couch and went to the toys box to find her nature book, if her mother wasn't going to let her watch what she wanted at least she had her book to keep her entertained.
Emma rolled her eyes as she watched Reina briefly, obviously she was going to get a book with animals and nature, what the hell was her daughter's obsession anyway? Shrugging it off, Emma looked back at Eris and saw her still, playing with her t-rex and she could see a small smile through that mask full of vapor. Which made Emma smile, at least Eris was taking all this illness kindly, but she knows that's only because she's a little child and isn't aware of how serious her condition actually is.
After thirty minutes, the show had finished and Eris was all set, she already was fifty minutes ago, but the girls complained they wanted to stay just a little longer, and Emma allowed them to stay, but now it was time to sleep. "Come on, my little pests, let's sleep." Emma stood up and picked up the toys and the book before put it back on the toy box.
"Awww." Both said with a pout as they looked up at their mother with big green puppy eyes.
"Nope, not gonna stay another minute longer. You both need sleep to grow big and strong."
"Don't believe it. We little." Reina said as she perked up an eyebrow.
Emma chuckled and shook her head, that expression Reina was giving her, was making her remember somebody, and Emma was doing her best to not think about that person right now.
"Okay, then I will make you two bigger on the way to the bed." Emma said as she approached her twins that were standing next to each other. She bent down and picked them up, having Eris on her left arm and Reina on her right arm. They just giggled and wrapped their arms around their mother's neck. They loved when Emma carried them around and Emma loved that they were little and not heavy, so it was much easier.
After having the girls prepare for bed, she had to tell them a bed time story and believe it or not all the bed time stories that Emma tells them actually happened, it was the memories she had when she was in Storybrooke, she couldn't let it go so easily, she loved to still remember about the all good moments and of course all those adventures. The twins loved the stories and always asked for more, but Emma only gave them one each night.
Now that they were asleep Emma went back to the kitchen and took out a beer, then she sat back down on the table and kept on reading the small notes she made about the money. There was no way she could pay the rent next time and she couldn't afford having to get kicked out from this apartment, it was the best thing she could find. It was small yes, but at least it had a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, which was all she needed, the kids shared a big bed and Emma most of the times slept with them, other times she slept on the couch; but it was good, it was enough to live and that's what she needed, however she was desperate now.
Emma groaned and rubbed the back of her neck before lean back against the chair and take a sip from her beer. She could beg to the man to give her another month to pay the rent, but she would always be on delay for a month if she done that; so there was nothing she could do but one thing...one simple choice she feared, but it was her best shot right now, she didn't want to have child services by her door and take her children away, she didn't want them go through the all struggle she did when she was younger, so this was the only choice she had to keep living as a happy family and have her children closer.
Standing up, Emma went to the phone and removed a small note from underneath it, then she began to delay the number and waited for somebody to pick up on the other end of the line. The all waiting was making her nervous and she looked up at the clock seeing it was 10:30pm, maybe he was asleep, but did people really fell asleep at that hour? People who had no kids, or didn't had to wake up early to work?
"Yes?"
Emma quickly cleared her throat and gripped on the phone. "Huh, hey Gold."
"Oh, Emma. What is the meaning of this call at such hour?"
How was Emma going to say this...she knew it wouldn't be any problem, she knew she could go right to Storybrooke without telling a thing to Gold, but she also knew she had more responsibilities now, she wasn't alone, she had her twins, she had to prepare everything before go. "Well I...I am just going be straight about this. Life here isn't easy anymore and I need your help."
"I am listening."
"Well you see, money is running out, and I can't afford the rent for next month. I am also in a big struggle to get money for kindergarten."
"I see...you want me to send money?"
"No, no! I'd never be able to repay you later and I don't want you money. But I do need something else from you."
"And what's that, Miss Swan?"
"Well...believe it or not, I am planning on moving to Storybrooke, things aren't easy here, and I feel very left out. Job incredible sucks and people aren't that nice. I feel like Storybrooke will be better for my children."
"You do know what that means, right Miss Swan?"
"Yeah I know..." Emma gulped as she kept on gripping on the phone. She knows if she brings the children to Storybrooke, bunch of memories will invade Emma and she knows she can't have the same connection with everybody like she had before because they don't remember her. She also knows that her children will be able to use her magic and she isn't sure how she is going to clear that out for them.
"Alright, I hope you can handle it afterwards. You will need a place to stay, and I am sure Snow's apartment is full. Little Neal isn't that little anymore and the room that was yours now belongs to him."
Emma couldn't help but to feel kind of disappointed with that but at the same time feel extremely excited, she could see how Neal grew. How old as he now? Five or six? "Yeah, don't you have any other place?"
"I am not the mayor, dearie. But I am sure our new mayor has a new place for you. Let me talk to her tomorrow morning. Also you will need a job, right? How do you feel with having your job back?"
Emma thought for a second, being Sheriff again was for sure more funnier than being a waitress but it also meant she would be out in danger time to time, but Storybrooke wasn't a criminal town, so what wrong could happen? Other than having Grumpy do something? "Sure, sounds good. Who is the new mayor?" Emma perked up an eyebrow.
"Okay then, it's settled, back as sheriff. Oh and Regina's back as a mayor, it seems Snow couldn't handle the title so well, and despite everything people prefer Regina because at least she gets everything straight and done."
Emma gulped at the sound of that name, she was really trying to ignore the fact that she was totally going to face the brunette the very moment she moved to Storybrooke, and she was sure her feelings would reveal all over again, but it as a small price to pay. "I see.."
"Mhm, now if you don't mind dearie I wish to get my sleep and I will get everything done tomorrow."
"Okay...wait! Won't be a pain in the ass though? Like will Regina..accept a new person so easily and give the title as sheriff already?"
"Yes, she will. Regina isn't like she was before, maybe she will be very suspicious about you and headbutt you time to time like before, but I will show her your C.V. and she will be pleased. We are having lack of a sheriff, David is way too nice to solve things right away. Must run in the family."
Emma snorted at that comment, of course her father was kind, maybe her mother was making David more kind than he already is.
"You can start packing tomorrow morning and be here at the evening, Miss Swan. Everything will be ready by then. Drop by Granny's first, and you will have somebody to show you, your new house and give you tour, obviously you will have to react like everything's new to you."
"Yes, got it."
"Alright then goodnight."
"Goodnight, and thank you."
"My pleasure."
And with that the call ended and Emma couldn't help but let out a small yelp of happiness. Even though she knew that this would bring a lot of emotional trouble, she was happy that she was going to be back in Storybrooke, be back to somewhere she knew, somewhere she was sure her children would be taken with care and kindly, and that's what mattered now.
And that's it, what did you guys thought about this so far? Please tell me in the reviews, I will have Emma and the little ones move to Storybrooke next chapter and see how everything will be.
