Awaken

Every day in Storybrooke seems to go around in circles. Everyone there did the same thing, they were all stuck in a haze. So it wasn't an unusual day for Mary Margaret to bring the dashingly handsome, coma patient, John Doe some flowers right after her work day at the school. Mary Margaret always felt a little off about her life like something was missing but when she went there, for some reason she felt like her life did have to mean. She was so lost in thought that she hadn't seen Mayor Mills walking directly toward her which causes her to slam right into the women.

"Watch where you are going!" snapped Regina. Mary Margaret stopped frozen with fear.

"I.. a.. am.. so sorry Mayor Mills... " she said as she bent down to collect the flowers that weren't damaged. The mayor huffed an angry sigh.

" You are pathetic! " Regina exclaimed and walked away from the school teacher with a smirk on her face. Seeing the ex-princess brought to her knees filled her with joy. She just couldn't get enough of making Snow White feel like nothing.

Mary Margret quickly gathered her flowers before standing up. She was about to throw them all away and just go home until she spotted a rather strange pink flower laying on the sidewalk. She didn't remember it being part of the others she had but something told her to pick it up. She felt something tug at her mind when she held the pink flower but quickly shook her head and stood up.

"Looks like I'm going to see him after all, " she mumbled to herself.

Mary Margaret entered John Doe's room and a smile curled up her rosy pink lips.

"Sorry I am late. It wasn't a good day. I almost didn't come but I guess I can never miss a chance to see your charming face" she spoke to the coma patient. She placed the pink flower in a cup by his bed then walked away just as some of the pink dust from the flower seem to magically float to his hand and like that he woke up. The heart monitor started to go off.

"Oh, my! What did I do?" The school teacher squeak. She looked over at him as his blue eyes opened up staring directly at her.

"Snow., " he whispered as he started to sit up. He started pulling the IVs out his arm. Mary Margaret looks confused. " Where is she?" He questioned. Mary Margaret wasn't sure what he meant.

"Hey slow down you are confused after being in a coma. Let me get the doctor. " Mary Margaret said but he stood up and started looking around. He wasn't sure what happened but he had to find a way to get her to remember.

" The Evil Queen's guards stabbed me and I passed out and then, the curse. It must have brought us here. Whatever this place is." He told her. She shook her head staring at him with doubt in her eyes. He searched for anything that would tell him that she believed. " Come on I know Snow White is still in there. " He urged on.

"You are delusional and speaking gibberish, why should I trust you?" She asked as he held his hand out. She looked at him and felt something tug at her mind again. She wanted to believe him.

" Because you love me and I love you. " he insisted. That seems to work because she grabbed his hand. He squeezed her hand and somehow the pink dust landed on her hand. In seconds she blinked and everything came back to her. Tears fell down her cheek as she gasped.

"Charming... " she whispered. Suddenly his lips were on hers. He crushes her to him. All the years they had been apart exploded between them. The want, the need to be together flooded out of them. He picked her up and spun her around. " You find me. " she cried as the kiss broke.

"You ever doubt I would? I promised to always find you, " he said kissing her once more. Finally, they broke free but kept contact by holding hands. " We need to get out of here. We need to find our daughter. " He said. She nodded.

" You have to go to Rumpelstiltskin. He has a shop here. He goes by Mr. Gold. Get him to remember like you did me and meet me in a half of hour at the farmhouse. " She explained to him. She knew Regina would be looking for him and she had to distract her. After a long kiss, they departed ways.

( I'm gonna skip everything that happens with Regina figuring out they might be awake. That's a lot. To type and it would be just repeating it. I'm sure if you are here you seen the episode lol. )

Snow ran to the farmhouse just in time for David to come in with the dark one. He smirked as he seen Snow as she rolled her eyes. Her husband joined her side as they turned to speak to the dark one.

"We don't have much time Regina is on to us. So how do we get to our daughter? " Snow asked the dark one. He held up the flower that had woke them. Charming took it.

" This flower goes where true love goes. It will help you find Emma. But remember we've only been cursed ten years, meaning Emma's still eighteen years shy of her twenty-eighth birthday - the day she's destined to become the savior. So if you two want to save this town you will have to find a way back here. I didn't see this coming but somehow your love has changed the fate just a slight bit. But it won't change the fact that the curse can't be broken until she is twenty-eight. It won't be easy. Emma is living with adoptive parents... "

The dark one explains to them that her adoptive parent didn't give her back like they should have which made him believe more and more the fate had changed. He explained that in that world there were rules that would keep them away from Emma until they could prove they were really her parents. Then there was the problem of the swan's they probably loved Emma and it wouldn't be easy. It would hurt them to have her taken away. It might even hurt Emma but the dark one said it was the only way. She would understand eventually. After they got her they would need to find a place to live and jobs. Snow and charming thought about this as they walked deeper into the forest.

"Charming what if she doesn't want to come with us? She will hate us... " Snow cried. Charming placed his arm around her shoulder as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"She is our daughter. She can't possibly hate us once she understands why we did it. Gold said it will take time. But the love between us three will push pass everything and we shall be together. Then together we will break the curse. Now let's go get our dau-" his word cut off as footsteps were heard coming straight at them.

"Stay right there! I knew you two were awake. I won't have you two idiot ruin everything!" screamed Regina. Charming looked at Snow and they had one their silent conversation. Within seconds they threw the pink dust, and a door appeared in front of them. They smiled at each other, grabbed hold of each other hands, opened the door and walked through right before Regina could grab them.

Mr. Gold looked around he was confused on how he got here but he didn't care enough to stay around. He walked out with his cane helping him along just as the mayor came his way. She slapped him rights across his face.

"You let them get away! You wanted this! You idiot! Don't act stupid. " Regina growled. She raised her hand again to slap him once more but he grabbed her wrist as he leaned on his cane.

"I know nothing of what you speak of. If I was you, Mayor, I would go back to doing what you do best and that's running this town. Lay a hand on me again and I'll use this cane for more than just walking. "he spat before walking away.

Regina growled as she watched the dark one walked away. Somehow he was asleep again in her curse. But she knew he had helped them. She knew there was nothing she could about it. She just helped they never came back. Maybe this was a good thing. So she did what he said, she went to her office to run this broken town.

Hand in hand Snow and Charming walked through the door to the other side. When they arrived they were standing in front of a two-story house with a light brown door. They glanced around but knew this was the place. Gold was right the flower lends them right where they needed to go.

" Looks like it is time to get our little princess. " David said as he kissed his wife's cheek. She nodded unable to speak. Together as always they walked to the door and knocked on the door. A man with dark brown hair and brown eyes answered the door. He looked around David's age.

"Hello, may I help you?" The asked. Snow has to find her voice stepped forward before David could speak she looked at the man and smiled. She had to charm him. She had to make him believe they were good people, which they were.

"My name is Mary Margaret Nolan. This is my husband David Nolan. We are looking for Emma Swan. " She said in a neutral tone. She stayed calm as the man stared hard at her. But before she could speak a small girl came forward making Snow's heart drop. The girl was a spitting image of her father. She had long blond hair and green eyes. Which was a mix of the two? She was dressed in jeans and a tee shirt which reminded Snow of David. The man placed held her hand in a way a father would protect his daughter.

"This is my adoptive daughter, Emma. Who are you two and why are you looking for her. " Nathan Swan said. Though when he looked at the pair he already knew who they were. It was clear just by looking at them and Emma. His heart sank.

"We are Emma's biological parents and are here to take her back," David said as he smiled at his princess.

As the pair appeared like magic in front of the Swan's house, no one seems to notice. The only one who knew what magic looks like would notice. Standing only a few feet away was a woman with very light blonde hair almost white and icy blue eyes. Her eyes narrow as she watched them slipped inside the house. Her blood began to boil. They were ruining her plans. How was she gonna convinced the swans to give up Emma now that her parents were here? What were they even doing here! She knew though she would find another.
