AN: Hi! Yes this is me posting yet another story when I have a whole bunch of unfinished ones. But really, by now no one should be surprised. I had to write this one though. I promised to my tumblr followers I would. I believe my words were that I would spam the fandom with gender bender stories. Why? Because as you all know, it's something that happens in every fandom and every ship at some po-...wait no. NOT to the Captain Swan ship. *Gasps* How dare I even suggest it. What's wrong with me!?

Not long ago, someone posted a Captain Swan story where Hook was Kira Jones instead of Killian. Well, that didn't end up well. I mean how dare the author do such a thing!? It's WRONG! Etc. So yeah the CS shippers exploded with hate and insults and the world almost ends. Really... we were very close to be destroyed by God to erase such a horror from the universe. *Sarcasm ends here*

I'm going to keep writing stories like this one, to prove that it's completely normal! It happens on every ship and fandom. I'm going to use them to explore every possible form of gender bender. MxM Swan King? Yup! Male Regina and female Emma? Sure. Male Emma and Female Regina. Alright. Both girls with penises? Hell yeah. How about this one where the genderswap had nothing to do with magic or their chromosomes?

Well, here it is the first part so I hope you like it. Let's show them how SWEN won't implode from the shock, and I won't be attacked by crazy angry lesbians, that everyone seems to think make up 100% of SWEN.


He entered his apartment with a sigh. It had been a sucky day. Sure, he got the guy and the bounty, but he still felt like shit. 'I wonder why that is?' He asked himself sarcastically, looking at the box in his hands.

Walking over to the counter, he pulled a cupcake out of the box and put a star shaped candle on top of it. Lighting it up, he stared at it.

"Another banner year."

He knew it was stupid, but he still closed his eyes and blew out the candle, wishing with all his heart that he didn't have to be alone on his birthday…actually, if that meant a beautiful woman, he certainly wouldn't complain…

Suddenly the doorbell rang. 'No Way.'

Yes, it was even more stupid to entertain the thought that his wish could have come true, but as he moved to open the door, his mind kept asking for a woman to be on the other side of that door…But maybe that was the lower part of him, not his mind, talking.

He pulled the door open and felt like pouting. It was a kid. Of course his wish didn't come true. His wishes never came true.

"So much for a beautiful woman." He muttered to himself annoyed. "Uh? Can I help you?"

The boy hesitated, looking a bit intimidated and confused. "Is…I mean…does Emma Swan… live here?"

Great. Just what he needed tonight. How the hell did he even began explaining…how does one tell a kid…? He supposed could lie, but to be honest he was just too tired, lonely and horny to even bother.

"I do. But the name's Emmett now."

The kid's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh…"

TRS-TRS-TRS

'What the hell am I doing?'

One moment he was in the middle of his birthday tradition of…spending it alone. The next, some kid was at his door looking for him…well, for Emma. Thing is he hadn't been Emma in almost five years; he even had the body parts to prove it.

For a second Emmett had thought he'd managed to scare the kid off with the revelation of his now male status, and would have the rest of his evening to himself. But it was not to be, as the kid shook off his initial shock and with a little blush, shrugged and proceeded to drop a fucking huge bomb on Emmett.

His son…

The son, he as Emma Swan had given up when she was eighteen. A son, who apparently had no problem accepting Emmett now…and then blackmailing him into taking him back to some town in the middle of Nowhere. Maine. A town that according to him was full of cursed Fairy Tale characters.

"Kid."

"Yes?" Henry asked, looking curiously at him.

Emmett wasn't sure how to even ask. The whole situation was mind blowing. "I don't…I…how are you not bothered by this?"

Henry looked confused. He wasn't getting it. "What do you mean? The curse?"

Emmett rolled his eyes. "Me!"

If anything, the kid looked even more confused. "What about you?"

God, was the kid being thick just to annoy him? Or…was he really okay with Emmett being a man, and simply didn't get it? The second possibility made Emmett's heart clench. He pushed away an annoying thought about his son accepting him.

"You came looking for your birth mother…and uh I'm more like a father now. But you aren't freaking out." Emmett said confused. He knew children could be cruel about these things, sometimes even without meaning to, but he'd never found a child or even adults who were so accepting right from the beginning. "You are acting like it's a normal thing."

"Oh!" The boy seemed a little surprised at Emmett's words. "Well, I really wasn't expecting it? …but it is normal."

"I mean, my mom told me about it. You know. That there are some people, who are born into the wrong body and they use doctors to help them become the real them. So we shouldn't be mean to them for being true to themselves."

Oh, man. Whoever the kid's mother was, she was amazing. Emmett, for the first time, felt he had done the right thing by giving up his baby.

The kid had nice clothes, the way he spoke it was obvious he was getting a good education. He looked well fed and from what he just said, his mom was a great person.

"Kid. Remind me to give your mom a hug."

The boy looked at him like he was insane. "What!? No you can't! She's evil!"

"What!? Evil!?" Emmett was startled at that statement. And a current of fear ran through his body. He suddenly remembered the foster parents that kept a facade of being amazing parents, but inside the house when the world was not looking…

"Kid…has...has she ever hit you?"

"Huh? No, of course not!" Henry said, looking at him like he was a bit touched in the head for thinking that.

Now Emmett was confused.

"So, okay. She doesn't hit you…has she ever touched you…uh inappropriately…uh like under your clothes? Your…eh parts?" Ugh, he was horrible at this…the kid was lucky Emmett didn't raise him.

"No. And you can say sexually. They tell us at school to say something if someone tries to touch us like that…and mom told me about it too…"

Okay, then… what the hell? Emmett had thought the worst when the kid claimed his mother was evil, but now she had a feeling it was the opposite. Maybe she was strict?

"Okay. SO, she doesn't hit you. She's never touched you…like that. I'm guessing she feeds you well. Buys you nice things? Toys? Video games? Birthday and Christmas presents?"

"Well, yes." The boy said with a 'Duh' look on his face. He obviously didn't understand that not everyone had that. That not every parent was so nice. That some of them like to hit, to touch. Saw you as a nice paycheck…This kid didn't know what evil was. He probably thought his mom was evil, because she made him eat all his vegetables.

"The how is she evil? Because, she sounds pretty great to me." Emmett said frustrated.

"But she is evil!" The kid practically screamed. Emmett had a feeling that maybe his mom was so nice that she raised a spoiled little sh-…no he wasn't going to think badly of his own kid….well technically he wasn't his kid. Not really…not because once upon a time, when he used to be a girl, she gave birth to him.

Blood didn't really make a family.

He continued oblivious to Emmett's thoughts. "She's the Evil Queen! She cursed everyone and sent them to this world!"

Of course…the fairy tale thing. He should have known.

Emmett walked towards the house with purpose. Although…mansion seemed like a more accurate description. Honestly? He wasn't surprised. Kid, really didn't know how lucky he was.

"Please don't take me back there." He begged as if it was a horrible place. God, how Emmett wished he'd gotten a mom like the kid's when he was in foster care.

"I have to. I'm sure your parents are worried sick about you."

The kid shook his head in denial. "I don't have parents. Just mom and I already told you she's evil."

Man. The kid must have put the poor woman through hell. He hated her for something out of a fairytale book. And then he ran away to Boston by himself, to find his birth mother. Did the kid not realize how dangerous that was? He could have been kidnapped by some sexual predator. He could have been killed!

"Kid. Seriously, stop calling your mother evil." Emmett said sternly.

"But-"

The door to the house suddenly opened and a beautiful woman rushed towards them. Emmett was in awe. It seemed his wish had come true after all. He'd asked for a beautiful woman and God, or whoever made miracles in this world had sent him to the most perfect creature Emmett had ever seen.

"Henry! Henry…are you okay? Where have you been? What happened?" The woman asked and Emmett could see the tears in her eyes. He felt like someone was squeezing his heart.

"I found my real mom! Well…he's my dad now!" Henry said and ran into the house.

Emmett wanted to grab him by his arms and shake him. Did he not see the pain that went through his mother's eyes when he said he'd found his REAL mom? The brunette WAS his real mom. Why couldn't he see that?

Then the woman turned to Emmett and just raised her eyebrows for a second, before dismissing the weirdness of the realization of Emmett's gender. Very much like her son had earlier.

"Y-you're Henry's birth mother…I mean father?"

"Hi."

He was mesmerized. Didn't even pay attention to the man in the background.

"How would like a glass of the best apple cider you've ever tasted?" The goddess in front of him asked.

Maybe he was imagining it. But with those gorgeous eyes looking at him like they wanted to eat him. Emmett changed his mind.

He didn't want to hug this woman anymore.

"Got anything stronger?"

He wanted to kiss her.
