Chapter 2:

Emma didn't know what to think except that she needed to see him. The door of the Pawnshop was closed. She tried knocking a couple times and closed her eyes a bit to see if there was someone inside. Not a soul. Well of course if he had been responsible for the cloud she hadn't expected him to be just laying back cleaning a lamp or something. Then a feeling invaded Emma. If he had had her father's sword what else did he have in there? She had never paid too much attention to the contents of the store. Growing up in foster care had given Emma an ability or two that involved theft. One of them was picking on locks. If Gold didnt come to her she intended to go inside and find out as much as she could about the world she was supposedly from. Once the door was open the darkness and humidity inside made Emma shiver. She stepped inside slowly and the door closed behind her making her jump. It took her a while to adjust to the the lack of light but when she was finally able to make up the room she turned on the small lamp on the counter. Suddenly it all made sense to her. She saw the case the sword had been in, empty. There was a crib on the back of the room. She didn't know why but it seemed the furniture was calling her. She moved slowly, holding her breath. Once she reached it she ran her fingers across the side, just like her father had done when her mother had ask to go visit Rumple. It was warm despite of the cold of the room.

What happened next she could not process as fast as to realize what had happened. There was a shake and things crumbled around her, she ducked next to the crib to shield herself, closing her eyes like a small child Emma watched horrified as the room once again shivered and the door ended up buried in the mist of it all. She tried to get up but a shooting pain in her leg made her fall backwards.

Charming held his wife close as the ground moved beneath them. He looked at her in confusion. The cloud had dissipated about an hour before and now the ground was shaking and there was cracks all around them "Emma" Snow breathed as her face grew worried. They needed to find her, tell her that they loved her and she had been the thing they had loved them most "I need to tell her that I'm sorry... "

"I know" Charming said as he touched her cheek slightly as tears ran down her face "We'll find her"

The new found princess looked around the room. Amazingly enough almost all the things inside where intact, except for the furniture. She could only think of Henry right now. Where he was and if he was safe.

"Henry?" Red asked as they sat at the dinner, most of the town was gathered there awaiting for Snow and Charming to return. The boy was going trough his book trying to make out who everyone was "Still hungry?"

"No" Henry turned to her "aunt" "I'm good... just thinking about Emma"

"Yeah me too" Red touched his arm slightly "I do hope Snow and James find her soon. I don't think she's safe out there" Henry shrugged tiredly.

"Do you think she will love them?" Henry asked distractedly "Her parents I mean, now that she knows that they didn't abandon her, that they loved her" Red was startled.

"Well" Red smiled "I do hope so, Although I don't expect it to be easy on either of them, starting because they are all the same age" Henry nodded "But you seemed to grow on Emma really quick and her parents well... they tend to have their way with people too" There was a sense of relief in Henry's tired eyes.

"But then again" Henry rested his chin on the counter "I'm ten"

Snow looked in horror the mess the last shake had caused the town. Cars were tossed around and there was a giant hole near the pet shelter. Charming suddenly felt sick at the prospect of the animals being harmed. They finally reached the pawn shop. There was a dim light inside "Emma!" Snow shouted as she tried to open the door. It was stuck. She turned to her husband for aid and he nodded, even though he had memories as David, Charming found himself full of inner strength. The same that had allowed him to rip Emma from his wife and carry her to the wardrobe almost 30 years ago "Gold!" Snow tried again "Emma! Are you in there?"

Even with royal force James could not manage to bring the door down. He sighed in frustration and kicked the door. He was about to try again when Snow touched his arm. She glanced at the back of the shop. She did not know if there was a door there but she figured there was a storage room in the back of the shop. "We are coming baby girl"

Emma had dozed off for a moment. Only to be awaken by shouting. She would recognize that voice anywhere. Mary Margaret. But there was something more in her voice. There was power and a sense of being. This was not the school teacher who had had her heart broken. This was a princess. Snow White herself. Her mother. She wanted to call for her. Tell her she needed help but the truth was that even if she needed it. She didn't want anything to do with her. This was the woman who had had the chance to go with her and Emma was sure that they had decided to send August instead so she and her prince could be together. How could a mother chose her husband over her daughter? She heard sounds coming from behind her. She froze. Finding herself lost in thought about how to confront these people who called themselves her parents. Turning around she saw them. Eyes shocked and teary. James ran to move the ruble away from Emma. Snow stood there still. "Go away, I don't need your help" James looked up at her shocked but turned back to what he was doing. "I'm fine" She was free at last and pushed her father away as he tried to help her. James turned to Snow wanting to scream. He wanted Emma to look at him. To acknowledge him in some way.

"Emma" Snow said as her daughter flinched in pain resting her hand on the crib "What happened?"

"He isn't here and you shouldn't be either" Emma told her dryly. James looked at her confused "Go back to your people"

"We came here for you" James said. Snow took a step but then turned back.

"Well it took you long enough!" Emma spat in pain. She wasn't referring to now of course but to the last 28 years of he life "I don't need you here"

"Emma please" Snow stepped a bit closer to her daughter. Tears fighting to invade her eyes "I know this is a lot to take in.."

"You have no idea" she muttered. James and Snow shared a worried look. Emma stared at them for a moment and then turned away "You know you make me sick..." Her parents were as confused as they were hurt by her words.

"Emma... we can explain" James said slowly. He could see his daughter was in extreme pain but she endured it incredibly well. "We did what we thought was best for you... we wanted you to be with us but with the curse and Regina... she would have harmed you..."

"I'm pretty harmed, messed up already" Emma said "If 18 years in foster care didn't damage me I don't know what did. And you want to know what the worse thing was? That I kept believing my parents would come for me... they would admit they were sorry and take me to live with them.. instead they never came and I kept bouncing around with a check mark on my forehead until I was old enough to get out..."

"If we could change what happened..." Snow said slowly "I wanted to come with you but you came early and the wardrobe... it only took one" Emma stared at Snow for a moment as if she had said the funniest thing in the world.

No. It had taken two. Her and August. "August..."

THE REUNION WASN'T AS YOU EXPECT IT WAS IT? WELL I WANTED TO HAVE MORE OF A DISTANT ONE, EVEN THOUGH I LOVE TEARY ONES.
