To find out what's the cause

We must go back to the start of it all

Three days earlier...


Snow was sitting at the table with her hands folded and close to her mouth. David, who was sitting across from her, can tell that something was on her mind and he had a pretty good guess on who it is but he's waiting for her to say something. Finally, after ten minutes, Snow blurts out "I don't think Emma likes me anymore"

David mentally shakes his head. He and Snow been like this all day and no matter what response he gives her, she denys it to the fullest. But, tries his best to reassure her. "Oh come on Snow, Emma loves you"

"She believes I'm bad for taking Lily from Maleficent years ago" Snow said to him in a low and sorrow voice, that made Charming feel instantly horrible as well.

"Well, if you want to get technical, we both did that" Charming said to her, trying not to let her carry that burden alone.

"Yeah I know but she seems to blame me more than you" Snow argued.

"And what makes you say that?" Charming questioned.

"Gee I don't know, maybe the fact is that she talks to you and calls you Dad" Snow pointed out to him.

"That is not true, she doesn't call me Dad at all" Charming tried to point out.

As if on cue, Emma walked in the house, heading over to the table they were sitting at. She headed over to

"Hi Emma" David said in a nice tone.

"Hi Dad" Emma said looking at David, who gave her a slight a nod. Emma then proceed to get the book that was on the table. He then looked at Snow who was giving him the 'I told you so' look. He then gave Snow a slight nudge in the side, gesturing for her to talk with Emma. Snow cleared her throat as she said "Umm? Hi Emma"

Emma looked at her for a good moment before saying "Hi Snow" She then took the book and left out the house.

Charming looked back at Snow, who was gawking at the close door. "Well, at least she call you Snow. That's a start"

Snow seem to snap out of her trance and took a deep breath. "Yes but thats the start I feared though"

"Hmm?" Charming said as he raised an eyebrow in concern.

"I don't know if me and Emma will get back our relationship again!" Snow cried out suddenly.

"Snow..." Charming started but trailed off.

"Things were much easier when we were under the curse. We actually were the best of friends and Emma made me part of her family, way before we knew we were actually family! Don't you see Charming?!" Snow cried.

Charming stayed in silence as he listen to Snow.

"I believe I lost my baby again and this time I can't blame the curse or Regina, I can only blame me!"

Charming looked at his wife, pitifully. He knew how much this was affecting Snow and even if she didn't want to admit it, Emma was affected by it. Charming thought for a minute on how he can fix this broken relationship. Suddenly, he got an idea.

"What if you can fix that?" Charming asked her as he leaned in a little.

Snow was taking back by Charming's question. "Fix it?"

Charming nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, you and Emma's relationship, what if you can fix it?"

Snow thought about what Charming was saying. It would be nice for her and Emma to rekindle their relationship but, knowing Emma, she felt like that will be highly impossible. "Charming I don't think it will work"

However, Charming smiled that famous smile of his. "Oh it can and it will and as we Charmings say: 'The best way to heal is forgiveness'"

Snow gave him a smirk as she counter argued with him. "Okay that maybe a Charming's thing but you are forgetting that Emma is also a White and we are stubborn and as you can see, she is too. So, I don't know that your plan will work"

"Well I guess that means I need a little help" Charming said as he stood up and went for the door.

Snow was taking back a the sudden action and stood up as well, asking him. "Where are you going?"

Charming smiled at her and said "To a friend. I'll be back soon"

With that said, Charming went out the door, leaving a confused Snow behind. Seeing no purpose at sitting at the table anymore, Snow then got up from the table and proceed to go into her and Charming's room. As she was in the room, she spotted the picture of her, Emma, and Charming. It was the one that they were at the party they threw for Emma, when she saved the town. Snow couldn't help but recall the memory for it was one of her favorite moments because Emma was honestly happy and they were together as a family.

"The best way to heal is forgiveness"

Snow remembers Charming's words from earlier and smiled.

"The best way to heal is forgiveness" She said, repeating Charming's exact words. Snow then sits on the bed as she continued to look over the beautiful family that was in front of her.


Not too far from the distance, someone was looking in from the shadows. Liking what they saw, they vanished into the wind.
