"A Federal Marshal doesn't have any jurisdiction in Story Brooke." Emma crossed her arms and glared at the other blonde.
"She does if she is hunting a fugitive." Neither blonde was backing down when Henry came running into the diner. Stopping dead in his tracks he turned to look at the brunette.
"Apple? Then he turned his head and looked at the blonde. "Cora?"
Running past the Charmings Henry jumped into Apple's arms. She wrapped him in a bear hug, picking him off the ground and kissing the top of his head. Cora stood to the side hands clutched into fists, glaring at Henry and Apple's display of affection.
"You have gotten so heavy little man."
"I missed you so much," Henry beamed.
"I missed you too. Look at you, my baby brother is getting so big." Apple brushed the hair out of henry's eyes the same way Regina would.
"Time out," Emma yelled. "How do you…, what is going on?"
"I did it Apple," Henry said with a broad smile. "I got her to believe me and she broke the curse."
"I always knew you could do it kid," Apple beamed at the small boy.
"What?" Cora yelled, her arms thrown up in the air. "I can't believe you."
"Chill, sis it had to be done. Now we can see our Mom."
"You ruined her curse for your own happiness."
"I ruined her curse? You wanted it broken as bad as I did, otherwise you would never have found Henry. Pretend all you want; you found him, not me."
"I can't believe you." Cora and Apple were inches apart yelling and Cora was pointing a finger in Apple's chest. Emma jumped in-between the sisters, pushing the girls apart.
"Ok seriously what is going on? Five minutes ago you two were here arresting a fugitive, now you're Regina's kids."
"I never had any intent to arrest anyone; I just told her I would." Apple pointed to Cora. "Otherwise my sister would have done something drastic."
"I can't believe you. You tricked me; I thought you were on my side for once." Cora yelled.
"I am always on your side, but sometimes I have to trick you into doing the right thing. Otherwise god knows what you're crazy ass will scheme." Apple yelled back, both girls stepping closer practically squashing Emma. Emma shook her head and pushed the girls apart again.
"I am telling Mom, Danny."
"I though your name was Apple." Emma interjected.
"Daniela actually, Mom just always called me her little Apple. Cora is the only one who refuses to use to nickname."
"It's stupid," Cora huffed.
"Don't say my name is stupid. You are almost 30 years old, could you maybe act you age." Apple took a step back and smirked at her sister. Everyone else in the dinner just stared at the girls arguing like children.
"Fuck you."
"Girls," Emma yelled again. "My kid is standing right here."
"He isn't your son." Both Apple and Cora said in unison and that is all it took. It was like flipping a switch. Apple sidestepped to stand beside Cora and both women were glaring at Emma. Both ready to pounce on Emma at any moment.
"You didn't want him remember." Cora turned her evil glare on to Emma. "I know; I was there."
"Yeah, where were you when Mom was raising him."
"Ok Apple and Junior, just chill out." Emma said putting her hands up in surrender.
"What did you call me?" Cora's nostrils flared.
"Junior, I like it, it suits you." Apple laughed.
"It's not funny?" Cora growled at her little sister. Emma was just happy that if she left the two alone long enough they would destroy each other instead of setting their collective sights on her. Emma figured if the girls could just stop fighting for a few seconds they would actually be a force to reckon with. Emma decided to step back and let the girls work out their own sibling rivalry.
Emma whispered something into Henry's ear. He looked up at her and shrugged "Mom banded me from talking about it. She would always cry, it was the only time I ever seen her cry." Emma just nodded. Emma looked back at the girls, they had shifted from talking to screaming, and then they were in a ball on the floor throwing punches at each other. David pulled Apple off Cora and Mary Margret helped Cora up.
The door to Granny's flew open and standing in the doorway was Regina, staring at the disheveled messes that were her daughters. Cora was the first to notice and raced to her mother with open arms. Apple pulled free from David's grasp and ran right after her sister, both girls hugging Regina tightly.
"If you ever put your hand on my daughters again it will be the last time." Regina said looking up from her daughters' embrace, eyes boring a hole into the Charmings.
"Regina, they were on the floor beating the crap out of each other." Emma said, standing up for her parents. Regina did not respond; her eyes fixed on the two women in front of her, the Charming family long forgotten.
"What are you doing here?"
"Mom we were so worried, you hadn't called me in months."
"I am sorry Cora, I have been distracted lately."
"Yeah with trying to kill my whole family with your Mother," Emma whispered under her breath but it was just loud enough for Apple to hear. Her head shot up from Regina's shoulder.
"What did you just say?" Apple turned away from her sister and Mother. Walking up to Emma, Charming and Snow stood protectively next to their daughter.
"The truth," Emma crossed her arms and held her ground. "The Evil Queen over there tried to kill my family."
"Liar," Apple hissed.
"Ask her, hell before you two showed up she had every intention of killing my Mom." Emma took a step closer. Apple shook her head. Her check were flushed red, and she was balled her hands into fist. This time it was Henry who stepped in-between his sister and Emma. Henry looked at Apple with pleading eyes. She nodded down at him, smiled, patted his head, and turned to walk away.
"You are lucky; I really love that kid," Apple said with her back turned to Emma. "Come on Cora let's take Mom home."
