Age eleven within in curse
By now Emma has gotten used to the James family they were nice people unlike many of the families she had lived with. They were the first family that she had lived with since the Roberts Rebecca took a long time trying to find the right family who she knew she could trust and the James' were most certainly people you could trust even Emma trusted them, which didn't come easily. Mrs James, or Penny as she insisted Emma call her, was a teacher at the local school which Mr James, Luke, and was the principle. This was also the school that Emma went to. Penny and Luke were older that most foster parents they were old enough to be her grandparents, if she had any Emma taught, but that didn't bother Emma all she cared about was that they took care if her. She was the first child they has fostered and the couldn't be happier, they had two grown children who lived in Boston. Emma enjoyed living her because she actually felt wanted which was why she couldn't understand why Rebecca was coming today it had only been two weeks since her last visit and Emma knew that her coming again meant only one thing that they were sending her back 'Emma Rebecca's here' she hears Penny call 'ok I'll be down now' she says stuffing the remainder of her stuff into her bag so she could leave straight away.
As Emma reached the kitchen she could hear the three of them talking about her 'so I'll tell her the plan and then well she what she say' she can her Rebecca whisper 'yeah that's a good idea' replies penny, as Emma walks through the door that stop talking straight away 'Emma you look great' Rebecca says giving her a big hug ' 'I haven't changed since you last saw me' Emma says rolling her eyes. As she sits at the table she can see them all steering eagerly at her 'so what's this about' Emma says breaking the silence 'well Emma, penny Luke and I have been talking' she starts 'they were wondering if you would like to stay here permanently they would like to adopt you' Emma sits back not knowing what to say 'you don't have to decide now' say Luke 'yeah you can think about it' adds Penny smiling at Emma. 'em I it's just I don't know' stars Emma stopping to think about what she's about to say 'it's just that I can't I love living here but if you adopt me it would be like I was giving up on my parents and I don't want to give up on them' she says sadly holding back her tears the three adult in the room know that this may never happen but that can say anything to break this little girls heart anymore.
Later that night as Emma sits in her room looking at her stuff which she had pack, she knows there no point in unpacking because it won't be long before she leaves. She know although they love her the won't be able to deal with her rejection and will find so reason for her to leave. As she lays on her bed she know although she does love this place she can't give up on her parent she knows one day she will find her parent and that makes her fall asleep happy clinging to her blanket the only thing they have ever given her.
A few weeks later her concerns are confirmed as Rebecca pulls up to take her away, 'goodbye Emma I hope you get your happy ending' Penny says giving her a hug 'yeah goodbye' Emma says pulling away and getting into the car forcing herself not to cry 'are you ok' Rebecca says getting into the car 'yeah I'm fine I guess some people don't deal with rejection as good as I do' she says looking out the window as the drive away 'you know this isn't your fault Emma you only told them what you feel and don't worry well find another good home' 'doubtful' Emma replies swearing to herself that never again will she let anyone know her true feeling again.

After a while playing in the pool Snow decides it time for food 'come on you two you must be hungry' 'ok mama coming'. 'so Snow I think you owe me a swim what do you think Emma' 'I think she owes you a swim daddy' she says laughing at her mother 'ok Charming I'll go for a swim' he's never liked swimming and he knows it. As she steps into the lake he body freezes with the coldness 'don't worry Snow vie got you, you can come further' as she makes her way into the water she feels less and less scared knowing that Charming will protect her she plays in the water for what seems like hours forgetting why she was ever scared. 'I think it's time we head back its getting cold and dinner should be nearly done' Charming says as the sit in the grass drying off much to Snow and Charming's show Emma doesn't put up a fight instead picking you her stuff the head back they both know this means one thing she's tired.

They both reach Emma just as the boy is gone 'Emma who was that boy do you know him' 'no mama I never seen him before' 'what did her want' asks Charming 'he was looking for Rumple she said he knew him' she says looking at Snow 'did he say who is was' Snow asks 'he said his name was Baelfire' Snow turns no longer able to see the boy ' do you know him mama' 'yes I do we have to go to Rumple I believe we've just found his son' she says turning and walking in the direction at Rumples house she was finally going to repay him for all his help.
