A/N: So this is a kind of a series rewrite that I've had rolling around in my head for over two years now. I wrote the first three chapters in January of 2014 before my Senior Year in college really kicked off. But then I got busy and lost my motivation, so I put this project to the side without thinking I'd ever finish it. Fast forward to the beginning of March this year when 5B began and I decided to rewatch the series again. And that's when the motivation for this story came back with a vengeance. Things may look rough for some of our favorite characters for a while, but just hold on. I swear things will eventually get better. I know how things may look for Regina at first, but she is absolutely my favorite character in this show and I adore her redemption arc, so I promise she will get the redemption she deserves.

I will be posting the Prologue and Chapter 1 today, but from here on out I'll be posting one chapter a week on Sundays so I can keep enough chapters written and not fall behind while posting. As of now, I have completed 11 chapters and have almost finished writing chapter 12. I am incredibly excited about where this story is going, especially once I reach chapter 30 or so.

I dedicate this chapter to the Satan Squad, because they keep swearing that they love my writing, so I'm interested to see what they think about something I've written that doesn't involve me killing every single one of the Storybrooke characters in less than 3,000 words. You guys are seriously the best and I am so glad I found you!

A HUGE Thank You to my amazing Beta - IUsed2bcool who is actually one of the coolest people I know! Thanks so much Babe for spending hours talking about all my writing projects with me and I look forward to working with you forever on every writing project I do!

Prologue

Snow White was lying in a strange bed with memories of being a woman named Mary Margaret Blanchard who had woken up this morning pregnant and had given birth with the help of Ruby Lucas, a waitress at a local diner. And she was holding her daughter, one of her daughters at least, with her very best friend by her side.

"Snow?" Red asked hesitantly and Snow smiled excitedly back at her friend, Red laughed, "How is this possible? How long has it been?"

"I don't know how long it's been," Snow admitted, staring down at her daughter incredulously, this should have been impossible. "But I think we remember because of this little one."

"I thought you'd given birth by the time the curse hit," Red said as she sat down on the edge of the bed, "Why was Emma born here?"

"This isn't Emma," Snow said, tracing her daughter's profile with her finger and laughing as the baby's nose wrinkled, "This is Ellery."

"Ellery?" Red asked, "You had twins? Why didn't I know?"

"The only people who knew other than David and I were Doc and Granny." Snow said with a smile, "We didn't want word to get to Regina. We thought we had more time before they would be born. But then Emma was born and David took her to the wardrobe. And then the curse hit while I was still pregnant."

"So what are you going to do now?" Red asked, running a hand over Ellery's head.

"I'm going to find Emma," Snow said softly, "And then I'm going to raise my daughters so that they know who they are. In twenty-eight years, Emma's going to come back and break the curse, and everything will go back to the way it should be."
