Merry Christmas

Christmas for a lost girl

Minneapolis 1991

A young girl is looking out the window at the snow falling. There is something about snow falling that she always loves.

It`s Christmas Eve and a eight year old Emma is in a new foster home.

The family is fine, they are nice. Her foster mother makes Christmas cookies.

Emma and her foster brother are watching the Wonderful life. Her foster brother is nice to her, he sees her as a little sister.

Her foster brother looked at Emma and said. " I watch this film every year, it`s nice to watch this with someone."

"I never seen this film before, I am happy my first time is with you Simon."

They watched the film and after the film ended. Simon turned to Emma and Said. "I always enjoyed this film. Let`s watch this every year."

Emma and Simon watched Wonderful life one more time before Emma got moved but Simon promised they will watch it again someday.

Present day

A few days before Christmas, Snow wants to watch a Christmas film with the family.

She chose A Wonderful life.

Snow got everything ready for the movie. Popcorn, pop tarts and wine and rum for Hook.

They started watching the film with Snow and Charming on the couch and Emma and Henry on the floor and Regina and Hook sitting in arm chairs next to the couch.

By the end of the film Emma had fallen asleep. Snow and Charming went to make hot chocolate with cinnamon.

Snow looks over at Emma sleeping.

"She looks peaceful when she sleeps".

Emma dreams of Simon and the next day she and her family and Simon on Skype watched A Wonderful Life again.
