Chapter 3:
"What about August?" Snow asked confused. Snow recalled August from her time as Mary Margaret. Why had August arrived to Storybrooke? According to Henry no one could leave town or came in.
"August?" Charming inquired. Emma then looked at her parents. She didn't just stared. She really paid attention to them for the first time. James had taken Snow's hand in his, after Emma had pushed him away.
"You...He... the wardrobe..." Emma muttered.
"Emma what are you talking about?" Her mother asked once more. "Who's is August? I mean in our world?"
"He's Pinocchio" Emma said. Her parent's faces fell.
"That's not possible" James told her "He's just a boy"
"No" Emma said taking a deep breath "He came trough with me"
"I don't understand..." Her mother said with panic in her voice. What Emma was saying didn't make a lick of sense to her. "The wardrobe only took One"
"The Blue Fairy" Charming gasped. "She was the one that told us it took only one" Snow turned around. Her expression was as lost as her husband's.
"Oh God..." Snow began to cry "All this time... I could have gone with her and that chance... that little insect stole that chance from me..." James held her close. Tears streaming down his face too. "I AM GOING TO KILL HER!"
"You didn't know" Emma said "You thought..."
"Oh Emma" Snow said. Her voice was shadowed by her sobs "I would have given anything to go with you" Emma could see her father tensing as range filled him. He was being strong for his wife. He had always been her rock.
Emma was frozen. Ever since the breaking of the curse she had resented her parents. She had gone to the shop because she needed answers from Gold but she was also running away, because from the moment she had saved Henry all she could think of was finding them but then she remembered August and it made her sick to think that these people had sent her with a little boy because they were too selfish. They didn't dare to be apart from each other.
But now the truth was out and as hard as it was for Emma to come to terms with years of abandonment in such a short time she saw it all differently now. She saw two people who had given her best chance and she was astonished to find out just how great their sacrifice had been. Her mother had to make the most difficult decision as to give up her child the moment she was born. Her father had fought with her in his arms, giving his life to ensure her safety.
Emma opened her mouth to say something but nothing came. She battled with herself for a moment as she limped towards them. Startled, they looked up.
"And here I thought you had been such jerks for sending me to the unknown with a seven year old because you wanted to play castle" She said softly closing her eyes.
"I never would have forced your mother into staying with me Emma" James sniffed "I love you both too much to do such thing"
"You have to understand one thing" Emma told them "I know that you did it to save me, not only me but everyone else.. because that is who you are, you are always thinking about the greater good but the thing is... that... for my entire life I have been alone and you showing up here and... wanting to save me isn't going to change things..." She had done it yet again. Shattered their hearts into a million pieces. She took a deep breath and added "At least not yet, It's going to take me a lot of time getting used to this"
"I'ts going to take us time too" He father said softly. Snow nodded, looking straight into Emma's eyes.
"And about August..." Emma said. "I don't really know what really happened but what's done is done as you can't change it, so don't blame him for something that you cannot change, otherwise you are going to end up like Regina and not moving forward"
"But..." Snow began but Emma cut her off. "You need closure and I get that but..."
"Violence isn't the answer here" Emma said "That's not the example I want to set Henry" Snow and Charming were amazed by how, royal Emma had sounded. They nodded their heads. "Now I am going to allow myself to let you hug me" Snow and James tried to keep their composure "Because lord knows that I have been waiting for this my whole life and if I don't get it over, with my head is going to explode" Her parents nodded once more.
Snow was the first one to approach Emma. She touched her face softly, with water filled eyes. Emma however avoided looking straight at her because she knew if she did, she would break down like she had and she wasn't ready to let her guard down just yet. Charming took a little longer. He had tears streaming down his cheeks as he looked at his baby girl. He was shaking from nerves but finally reached out to wrapped both of them in a hig. Emma could feel her father's hand cradling the back of her head. She could hear his breathing. She could feel the tears from his cheeks. "You found us" Snow whispered taken completely by the moment.
"I never doubted you would" Charming smiled and looked down at Emma. She finally looked up and to her surprise she had tears in her eyes. Not as prominent as theirs but still.
She had tears. She suddenly flinched in pain as the moment of embracing was over, a shooting pain made her knees almost buckle. Her leg.
"We have to get back to Henry" Emma said as she felt as if she was finally giving into the pain and failing but her father caught her just in time.
"Can you walk?" Snow asked. Emma was unsure but she she wasn't going to tell them that.
"Yeah" She said biting her lip "Come on"
And that was the way she walked out of the shop. With Snow and Charming holding her up. In that moment the earth shook again and it was too much for Emma to handle so she stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. Her parents were by her side instantly.
"What is all that?" Snow asked looking from Emma to James.
"Gold"
