Of course I don't own anything! The truth about the wardrobe being able to take two comes out and brings up lots of feelings. Will be from Emma, Snow and Charmings point of view. Not sure how many chapters but it will be angst filled with feelings, sorry if it's not ur cup of tea. Sorry for the mistakes as again I'm working from my iPhone. So here goes!

Chapter 1

Emma's POV

If another person ask me how I'm doing I think I'm going to scream because truthfully I have no clue. My life has gone from one of solitude to one filled with the son I gave away and the parents that I always wanted as a kid but now at twenty-eight its all a bit much. Not to mention that my parents are Snow White and Prince Charming and my mother and I just returned from the Enchanted Forest. Sitting here at our Welcome Home party I've managed to sneak away to a table in the corner to try and wrap my head around it all. I look across the diner and see the fairy tale characters that I grew up reading about laughing, dancing around and enjoying each others company. Henry, my ten year old son, is listening intently to stories told to him by the Seven Dwarfs and my parents they're catching up with their friends, or so I thought. They've spotted me and are now making there way to my hiding place.

"Emma?" Snow speaks first and the way she says my name takes my breath away, it's as though it's the most precious name ever spoken.

"Hey guys." I say because honestly I don't know what to call them, Mary-Margaret and David, Snow and James, definitely not mom and dad.

"You okay?" James wonders, I think he's as clueless as I am about where we go from here. Snow and James thats what it'll be, I can do this, it's already getting easier in my head to call them that.

"Yeah just a little tired, I think I'm going to head home and get some sleep." I really need some time to think this all through.

"Oh...alright we'll all go." Snow says, I can see the worry in her eyes.

"No you guys stay and enjoy the party, besides I don't think we can drag Henry out right now, that is if you guys don't mind him staying with you." I say looking over to my son, he's eating this up and why shouldn't he, he was right all those months I refused to believe him.

"Of course we'll bring him, we won't be long. Oh wait Emma, before you go there's someone I want you to meet. I know you already know his Storybrook identity but...well do you mind?" I guess not since she's already latched onto my hand and pulls me behind her.

"Gepetto, old friend it's so good to see you." He reaches out and takes James' hand but I see fear in his eyes and can't help but wonder what's got him afraid.

"Your Majesties, it's uh...good to see you again."

"Emma we want you to meet Gepetto, he created the wardrobe that saved you from the curse." Snow says and I feel my heart break for the old man, I don't know what I'm suppose to say. I'm reminded of August and the guilt is overwhelming.

"I...I'm...thank you." I stumble out starring at a spot over his shoulder.

"No Princess, you do not have to thank me...I'm sorry." He breaks off and moves quickly towards the door.

"Wait," I place myself between him and the door, I realize that the place has gone quiet as all eyes have turned on us but I have to do this now or I never will. "I need to apologize, it was too late, I tried to save him but I failed, I didn't believe soon enough." James and Snow are there beside me, eyes full of confusion and I know I'm going to have to explain, they're going to be disappointed in me but I can't hide it any longer.

"Emma, what are you apologizing for?" James questions.

"August, I killed him." There it's out, all I can do now is let the chips fall where they may.

"Emma, I'm not following, how did you kill August?" He questions still trying to understand the situation, I suppose it's the Prince in him, that need to have the answers before going further.

"August, he tried to tell me about the curse but I wouldn't hear him out! Hell Henry, Grahm, Jefferson, August they all tried to warn me, I wouldn't listen, I didn't want to and then when I did, it was to late...August he turned back into wood! Don't you see it's all my fault, August is gone, I killed him!" I'm rambling and I don't care until I hear a gasp come from my side. I turn and the look on Snow's face stops me in my tracks, she's looking between me and Gepetto.

"August is Pinocchio, oh my God, that's why he could cross the town border!" The confusion in her eyes is replaced by anger and I know she's finally figured out what I'm trying to tell her. In this moment I realize that it's finally happened, I've pushed her too far, she'll never be able to look at me with those loving eyes again.

"Yeah he's Pinocchio, I'm sorry I know I should've already told you but we were trying to get home and when we got back well we haven't really had time to catch our breath. I'm sorry." I apologize one more time as I walk out the door, the devastation on her face speaking volumes. I can't take it, I do as I always do when things get to be to much, I run.

Okay so the truth as Emma knows it is out there, next Chapter will pick up from Snow's POV after Emma leaves the diner. Hope y'all like, I'm not sure yet what I think of it, as so often happens its kinda writing itself. I'll try to update again tomorrow as I've pretty much already got Snow's finished.
