3.00 pm

Emma sits outside the front of Storybrooke elementary school tapping her wheel listening to the music on the radio. The school bell goes and a rush of kids come swarming out of the building, either rushing to their parents or on the bus to get home.

After a ten minutes of waiting, Maisie opens the creaky car door on the passenger side of the rusty old yellow bug then slams is closed.

"Have a good day at school kid?" Emma asks in a chirpy voice and leans over to kiss her daughter on the cheek.

"Mum!" she moans wiping her cheek and sliding down on the seat embarrassed by what she done and she looks around outside just in case someone has saw.

Emma gives a smirk knowing how it embarrasses Maisie when she gives her a kiss on the cheek but she loves to annoy her at the same time it was on of the perks of being a parent.

"So bad new kid." Emma starts to pull out from her parking space at the front of the school. "I'm working tomorrow over your birthday I tried to get it off but the bails bond life calls."

Maisie lies and replies "It's fine mum."

"No it isn't your the big ten tomorrow double digits its a big year." she nudges Maisie trying to cheer her up a bit. "So tonight I'm thinking we head to Granny's grab whatever we want and have a big feast, DVD your choice of course, get in our pajamas and do our hair and nails."

"Sounds good, but your missing out the main thing...hot chocolate and cinnamon." Maisie licks her lips at the thought of her favorite drink in the world which she inherited from her mum.

"How could I forget."

As they are driving along Maisie realises they aren't heading towards the town. "Where we going I thought you said Granny's?"

"We will, but I need to make a quick trip up to Boston to get a little surprise for Mary and David for the baby shower." Emma was excited her friends were having a kid. They tried for years and nothing and done IVF and it also failed but out of pure luck Mary ended up pregnant after her 10th anniversary with David.

Maisie sticks her feet up on the glove compartment which doesn't make Emma happy. "Feet down cygnet show some respect to the bug I've had it longer than you." Emma reaches out to put Maisie's legs down.

Maisie then starts looking through her school bag to find her iPod and connects it up to the cassette tape compartment that August had wired into Emma's car so they could listen to the iPod. Maisie pops on the Disney play list.

The music starts to play and Emma and Maisie turn to each other and begin to sing. "I've been staring at the edge of the water, long as I can remember, never really knowing why."

8.30 pm

David arrives at the crime scene. Another car crash, another family he would have to tell a loved someone has been hurt or dead. He turns of the car ignition in the sheriff car, the rain outside pelting down off the roof.

He gets out of the car an notices the SUV first the front window smashed and paramedics covering up a body. He begins to look for deputy Humbert who called him onto the scene. It's when he scans the scene looking for him he notices it, the little yellow bug lying upside down on the road. His heart jumps into his throat, all he can think is please don't be Emma.

Graham spots him and rushes over leaving Emma with the firemen cutting her out still.

"Is it Emma...is she ok." David says with panic in voice.

Graham stops him going over to the car. "David she is fine the fireman are cutting her out, I've been talking to her, she wants you to go with Maisie." he nods towards the Ambulance. "They are getting ready to take her on ahead to Storybrooke General she wants you with her."

"Jesus." David rubs his hands down his face. "Maisie was with her?"

"Yes, it was drunk driver ran a red light. As you can see he is dead no seat belt straight through the window." Graham points back over to the covered body. "Emma got the most of it, she was unconscious when I got to the scene, Maisie was screaming out her name for her to wake up."

David has tears in his eyes. Thinking how scary it must have been for Maisie to be own her with Emma not waking up.

"Go!" Graham orders him. "I'll tell Emma you were asking about her, anything changes I'll let you know."

David heads to the back of the Ambulance and flashes his sheriff badge and tells the paramedics he will be joining Maisie on the ride to the hospital. When he hops in Maisie has her eyes closed and she is covered in blood.

"It's not as bad as it looks." The paramedic reassures David, who looks as pale as a ghost.

The door closes and David holds Maisie's hand and lets her know that he is here and everything will be ok. On the way David texts Mary and tells her to get to the hospital.

8.50 pm

David comes through the hospital doors to be met by doctor Whale.

"I just heard David I'll give them both the best care." Doctor Whale tells him while David helps him and the nurse push the bed down the corridor to check Maisie over.

"Mummy." Maisie starts to mumble.

David grabs her hand again. "Your mum's on her way you can see her soon, cygnet."

11.30 pm

David and Mary are both sitting in the waiting room. When Dr Whale comes in they both jump up.

"Are they both ok?" Mary rushes toward him seeking answers.

Dr Whale smiles. "They are both lucky they are fine. Emma just has a sore head and Maisie has a broken arm but someone must be watching over them."

Mary turns back and hugs David both feeling relieved their friends are still alive.

Dr Whale interrupts them from their hug. "I would let you see them but Maisie is insisting she see's her mum, so if you want to head on home come back in the morning, and get rested." He looks at Mary and her baby bump.

"That's a good idea." David replies grabbing his jacket of the seat. "Tell them we will see them in the morning."

"Of course." Doctor Whale nods at them.

12 am

Maisie and Emma are finally reunited after the the car crash. Maisie is lying in Emma's arms as she strokes her hair.

"I need to get a pen as your mother I have to be the first to sign your first cast ever on your arm." Emma reaches up and rubs her own head, and closes her eyes in pain.

"You ok mummy?" Maisie is worried.

Emma hides the pain. "Yes, just a bit sore after the crash. I must have give it a good old bump. But haven't you noticed the time." she points towards the clock on the wall.

"12.01" Maisie whispers and smiles.

"Your ten! Happy Birthday cygnet." she pulls her in for a cuddle. "Sorry we are stuck in here."

Maisie looks back up at Emma. "Mummy your nose is bleeding." Maisie sits up as Emma reaches over to grab a tissue, as she does she puts her hand up to her head again.

"My head." Emma starts to shout. "Go get someone!"

Maisie jumps of the bed and runs out into the corridor and shouts for help. Two nurses come running down into the room. One rushes and hits the emergency button on the wall.

Maisie stands back there is now blood coming from Emma's ears and her body is tensing up.

Doctor Whale comes rushing in and sees whats going on. Maisie starts crying and that when one of the nurses notice she had came back into the room.

"Let's go outside here while they work with you mum." The Nurse takes Maisie by the hand.

"MUMMY! MUMMY!" She screams at the top her lungs, causing the nurse to have to lift her out of the room kicking and screaming.
