"Regina Mills", the woman introduced herself and Emma loved the name.
"Nice meeting you", Emma said with a smile and the woman smiled back, a glimpse in her eyes. Emma felt herself heating up, her cheeks especially and looked down, clearing her throat making Regina come back to her senses and shook her head.
"I need your help", she said quickly moving on and Emma furrowed her eyebrows.
"You need my help? We just met, plus you just appeared in my garage, like... out of the blue", Emma pointed out and Regina sighed nodding.
"I know. But I-"
"How did you get in here anyway?", Emma asked and Regina sighed deeper.
"Can you keep a secret?"
Emma furrowed her eyebrows at the woman. A complete stranger asked for her trust and she had never felt more wired. But why the hell not? "Sure"
Regina nodded taking a deep breath making Emma furrow her eyebrows even more. This looked like it was more important than she thought. "I'm from the future"
The silence started out as Regina looked at the girl with eyes waiting for an answer while Emma stared at the woman for a moment before a snort was out and soon the girl was laughing hard. "Ha ha, future?! Ha, that was funny Regina, oh my god I really needed that", Emma laughed out and Regina furrowed her eyebrows at her. Was the girl serious right now?
"I am", she insisted and Emma kept laughing.
"Yeah right that was good Regina, now what's the secret?"
Regina couldn't believe what she was hearing. The girl really didn't believe her. As Emma kept laughing she noticed the serious face on the woman and she felt herself crumble. "Wait you're actually serious?", she asked seriously and Regina nodded. Emma opened her mouth in astonishment and looked away, Regina watching her now worried.
"Emma?"
"Wait let me get this straight. You're saying you're from the future and you need my help? For what? Saving the world?", she asked with a chuckle and Regina shrugged with an insecure face and Emma's smile faded instantly. "Wait really?"
"Wow you really were a wired girl when you were young", Regina couldn't stop herself from saying and she immediately closed her eyes as she punched herself inside, Emma widening her eyes.
"Wait, we know each other in the future?"
"Nooooo, what? No we don't", Regina said quickly looking away but that didn't make it past Emma. Emma could instantly see the lie behind the woman's eyes and body language.
"You're lying", she accused, crossing her arms and Regina mentally punched herself a few more times.
"Damn your lie detector Swan", she whispered looking away before sighing deep and looking at Emma.
"Fine. We know each other"
Emma nodded with a smirk and Regina wanted to punch her immediately. Or maybe not. "And how do we exactly know each other?", Emma then asked and panic showed in the woman's eyes and before she knew it she blew out.
"You're my... sister in law", she said and Emma raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman up and down.
"Wow. And here I thought my brother had a bad taste in women"
Regina felt herself blush and looked away making Emma smile. "Are you gonna help me or not?", she asked clearing her throat and crossing her arms and Emma chuckled.
"Sure why not. If I can save the world, why not", she said with her charming smile and Regina rolled her eyes.
"Right. But... you kind of need to come with me to the future"
Emma widened her eyes and a smile appeared on her face. "Really?! Awesome! How are we doing it?", she asked stepping closer and Regina blushed hard. She was still getting used to see the girl.
"Uh... with uh... with this device", she said clearing her throat several times as she pulled out a small device and Emma turned to the small black device in the woman's hand.
"What's that?"
"A uhm... a time machine remote?", Regina tried to explain. Time machines weren't really a thing at that time. Emma widened her eyes and Regina gave a tight smile.
"Alright let's go", she said and Regina cleared her throat awkwardly as she took Emma's hand into her own making herself blush hard.
"Did you invent that?", Emma asked curiously and Regina turned to the smaller girl.
"Uh no. Actually your brother did", she said as she wrote the right time on the remote.
"Really? Doesn't look like Emmett", Emma said with furrowed eyebrows and Regina looked at the girl, speaking without thinking.
"It wasn't him", she said and Emma furrowed her eyebrows even more at the woman.
"But I don't have ano— oh", she said realizing and Regina nodded, but mentally punched herself. She wasn't supposed to reveal things like this. Suddenly the door to the garage opened and the two girls turned to see Emmett walking in.
"Em how is going with—", the boy stopped as he saw the stranger in their garage, her hand holding his sister's.
"Emmett", Emma said and Regina stared at the boy feeling a smile form. He was amazing. Before she could stop herself her finger accidentally pressed the button and white circles were around her and Emma, Emmett panicking.
"Emma!", he yelled after her and ran over to her putting his hand on his arm and before they knew it, the garage was empty for any soul.
"Emmett?", a faint voice called him out and the boy opened his eyes, seeing his sister in front of him. "You okay Emmett?", Emma asked as she helped him up to sit and Emmett groaned putting his hand to his head.
"Yeah I'm fine", he said and let his little sister help him up to stand. He turned to see the stranger standing a few feet away from them. "You. Where did you bring us?!", he asked angrily and Regina felt her heart stop at the anger, but Emma stopped him quickly.
"Em stop! She's done nothing wrong"
Emmett sighed deep and looked around seeing a backyard around them. "Where are we?", he asked turning to his sister and Emma sighed deep.
"The future"
"In my backyard, to be more precise", Regina added to it and the two siblings turned to the woman making said woman smile unconsciously. Seeing them together was so wired. It had been years since the last time she saw them together. After a few moments, Regina came to senses and shook her head before turning to the house walking inside. "Come with me"
The two siblings shared a look before Emma nodded and followed the woman inside the house. Emmett, with a little hesitation, followed as well and they all walked inside. Regina felt her heart beat faster the closer they got. God this was a risk.
"Babe? Is that you?", a deep voice asked once they walked inside and Regina felt her heart beat faster at the sound of her husband as she walked further inside, laying the remote on the kitchen island.
"Yeah baby it's me"
Emma smiled at the voice while Emmett furrowed his eyebrows. Who was that? Footsteps were heard and a few moments later a man with blonde hair stepped down the stairs, a small baby in his arms. He smiled seeing his wife but the smile faded the moment he saw the two others. Two very familiar people. "What did you do?", he immediately asked his wife, turning to her and Regina sighed deep.
"I'm sorry...", she apologized but her husband sighed and stepped closer to his wife.
"Babe you know I said no", he said with a sad face and Regina nodded looking sadly back at him.
"I know but I just thought—"
"I know you just tried to help baby, but please...", he pleaded and Regina sighed deep. She turned to Emma and Emmett who stared back at them. Emma with a sad smile and Emmett with a confused look.
"I'm sorry I brought you into this", she said and the two siblings nodded. "Let me take you home"
"How much did you tell them?", her husband asked and Regina turned to him.
"More than I probably should have"
The man and walked over to her. "Here take him, I'll go get the potion"
"Potion? What potion?", Emma asked, suddenly curious. She didn't want anything that could possibly harm her or her brother. The couple turned to her and they could see the nervousness in the girl.
"A forgetting potion. It's not healthy for you to know about the future. You could ruin it", the husband explained and Regina looked at him with sad eyes.
"Em..."
"Gina please... just don't...", he said and Regina sighed deep when her son started to cry and the two siblings turned to the boy in the woman's arms.
"What's his name?", Emma asked curiously and Regina smiled a true smile at her.
"Henry"
That made Emmett smile looking down and both Regina and her husband saw it. Said husband walked away finding the potion and Regina walked over to the couch, sitting down. "Do you want something to eat?", Regina asked the two siblings and they both shook their heads, not wanting to intrude.
"No thank you", they said in unison and Regina felt tears in her eyes. This was harder than she had expected it to be. A knock on the door interrupted them and Regina furrowed her eyebrows as she stood from her seat and walked over to the front door opening it, meeting a man in a suit.
"Can I help you?"
"Miss Swan-Mills, is your husband Emmett Swan-Mills home?", he asked and Emmett widened his eyes, his mouth open. Emma turned to him making him look down at her.
"She's my wife?", he whispered and Emma smiled nodding. Emmett turned to Regina who talked to the man in front of her. He watched as she held her son in her arms and the boy opened his eyes looking over at them over his mother's shoulder, as he laid against it. Brown eyes with dark brown hair. Emmett smiled wide at his future son and the boy gave a small smile back.
Regina closed the door and turned to the siblings, but stopped in her tracks when she saw their looks. "What?"
Emmett smiled wide as he stepped closer to her, watching her face as he did. Regina watched his eyes as he stepped closer and before she knew it, he was standing right in front of her. "May I hold him? Please?"
Regina felt her heart stop and nodded. Emmett smiled as his future wife gave him his future son and Emmett couldn't stop the smile from forming. The boy looked up at him and a smile appeared. It was obvious he recognized his father, even in his young age and both Emma and Regina smiled at the sight. Emma had never seen Emmett with small kids, not to mention babies and seeing him so soft was wired and yet one of the most beautiful and memorizing sights.
"He's beautiful", Emmett whispered and Regina let out small chuckle, tears threatening in her eyes. She couldn't agree more.
"He is"
Footsteps were heard and they turned to see the older Emmett walking down the stairs with two small bottles, but stopped in his tracks when he saw his younger self holding their son and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, to everyone's surprise. But it was quickly gone again and he walked down the rest of the stairs and over to the children. "Here's your potion. You have to take it when you're back home. The last thing you will remember is what you did before you met my wife"
"Our wife", Emmett said and the man turned to his younger self.
"Pardon?"
"She's my wife too", Emmett couldn't help but say and the older version hardened his eyes.
"Not yet", he said and took his son into his arms walking away and Emmett felt himself crumble. His older self was a little harsh but maybe thats how life is when you grow older. "Take them home", he said as he walked up the stairs and Regina nodded turning to the teenagers.
"Come on"
The two teenagers nodded walking over to the dining table where the remote laid but Regina stopped in her tracks. "Where is it?"
"Where is what?", Emma asked confused walking over to the kitchen island as well and Regina looked around the table, panicking fully.
"Where is the remote?!"
"How could you loose the remote?", the older version of Emmett asked as he and Regina stood in the kitchen while Emma and Emmett sat in the couches with Henry. Emmett smiled at his son, playing with his small fingers. He wasn't more than four months old.
"I can't believe this kid is actually my son", he said with a big smile and Emma couldn't stop the smile either. Her nephew was truly beautiful.
"I was busy answering the door for a man who was looking for you. What have you done now?!", Regina asked her husband angrily.
"Nothing!", older Emmett argued back and Henry began crying, making younger Emmett worry.
"Oh no no baby don't cry", he said and the two parents watched the boy as he made Henry stop crying instantly.
Emma looked up and met Regina's eyes making the woman look away and Emma sighed deep looking back down at her nephew. The older Emmett sighed deep and turned to his wife. "Show them the guest room", he said and Regina nodded, not wanting to argue further with him.
A few hours later Emma was laying wide awake in the bed next to her sleeping brother. She could really use a cigarette but her cigarettes were laying in her jacket at home. Many years back. She didn't smoke regularly, only when she was angry or just frustrated. Not that she was either at the moment, but the thought of a smoke didn't sound so bad right now.
Knowing she wouldn't get any sleep anytime soon, she got out of bed and walked out of the room. She walked into the living room and immediately discovered older Emmett standing by the door to the backyard, a cigarette in his hand. Emma smiled at her brother and walked towards him. The man heard the footsteps and turned to see his little sister walking towards him. He sighed deep and stared at her for a moment before pulling out his pack of cigarettes and gave one to the girl. Emma smiled wide and took the smoke, the lighter not far behind.
Emmett watched his sister lit up the smoke and chuckled shaking his head taking another hoax of the cigarette. "What?", Emma asked inhaling and Emmett smiled at her.
"It's wired. Seeing you smoke", he said and Emma furrowed her eyebrows.
"Why?"
Emmett shrugged and Emma could feel the answer wouldn't come. They stood in silence, enjoying the sight of the ocean, living in a house close to the beach. Emma loved the fact that her brother had gotten her dream house. She had always wanted to live by the ocean, sitting one late night and watching the full moon at full display with a smoke in her hand. It was a dream. And now it was fulfilled.
"You're living in my dream house", she said and the man smiled nodding.
"I know"
Emma smiled at him and took another hoax. The silence took over once again and Emma could feel how comfortable she actually was. And oh how wired it was.
When Emmett walked back into he and Regina's bedroom, he laid down next to his wife, putting his arms around her. Regina felt the arms around her and turned around meeting his eyes. "Why? Why tell them I'm him?", he asked and Regina sighed deep.
"I panicked... I'm sorry"
Emmett sighed and looked away. "I guess I can't blame you. My name is Emmett after all", he said and Regina nodded sighing.
"Yes, but it wasn't always''
"Babe—"
"Emma", Regina suddenly said and Emmett felt tears in his eyes.
"I miss him so much", he cried out and Regina nodded, feeling her own tears come and held him as he cried.
"I know baby, I know"
