A.N: Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews so far, you all seem to like it so far, so I'm going to continue it. Someone asked if there was a curse, or no curse, the answer is, the town is cursed :) Please enjoy.


22 hours later

"Miss Swan, you're good to go" A guard named Jackson states as he takes the inmates uniform out of Emma's hand. She's now wearing the clothes she got arrested in. "Please, take care of your self" He says sincerely, almost in a sad tone.

Emma smiles. "Thanks. I will" Emma says as she's being ushered towards the entrance. When she gets there, she's not surprised to see Regina and her lawyer standing there.

"Good afternoon Miss Swan. If you would allow me, I'd like to take you out to lunch. I feel we have much to discuss" Regina states.

Emma's mind have been occupied with thoughts of Henry, and Regina ever since they'd left the day before. She's read the contract, most of it anyway, honestly, it made her feel stupid. She'd never finished high school, going back to get her GED was always a goal. Emma bit her lip and considered Regina's offer. She was hungry, and honestly, what choice did she have.

"Umm...okay" Emma whispers.

Regina nods and turns around followed by Sidney out of the door.

When they arrive outside, they find themselves in front of a parked Mercedes. Emma figures it belongs to Regina. She's proven correct when Sidney opens the passengers door for Regina. Emma opens the back door and jumps in.

"Miss Swan" Regina calls out. "Would you like to see a picture of Henry?" She questions.

Emma nods her head, then remembers that Regina's facing the other way. She haven't seen Henry since she'd given birth to him, 5, almost 6 months ago. Emma clears her throat. "yes"

"I assumed as much. In the seat next to you, there is a stack of folders. The brown one on the top is yours. Open it" Regina instructs, but doesn't have to, because Emma's already opened it and is now looking at pictures of her son. Emma feels tears threatening to fall as she looks over the pictures. The first thing she notices, is how much bigger he looks now, how much older he looks. She can't help but notice how happy he looks. He's just a baby still, but already, she can see some of his personality. There's one of him in a Easter basket, and he is happily playing with his toes, in another one he's dressed in a baby tux, Emma can't help but smile at that one, because she thinks that he looks like a tiny old man, the third one is a picture of Henry and Regina together. Her smile melts away when she notices how the two of them look together. Regina's holding Henry in her arms and he is looking up at her with his hands stretched out trying to grab her, perhaps it's her hair that he is aiming for, or maybe it's the earrings that are dangling from Regina's ears, but still, her son is reaching for Regina...and not her, it makes her sad. The third picture is the final one, and she places them back in the folder.

Soon, they are to the restaurant, once more and Emma's sitting there with grilled chicken, broccoli and mashed potatoes in front of her. Regina ordered for her, she really wanted the biggest burger, and all the fries she could have but Regina insisted, and for some reason, Emma let her. Perhaps it was because she was lost in her own thoughts, she knew what was soon to happen, and she knew what she was going to do. Finally, the moment came and Regina asked the question.

"Miss Swan, have you made a decision yet?" She questioned

Emma nodded her head. "I have" She responded quietly. She'd thought about this, she didn't see any other option, she had to give Henry his best chance, his best chance at life, his best chance with her being in his life. She'd do what ever she had to do.

What do you think Emma's choice is going to be? To be continued...
