Chapter 4- Frustration.

Sufficient to say, that Emma was uneasy. The Blue Fairy was pacing in a determined silence, every now and again glancing out the window, as if awaiting someone… Henry was exploring the Nunnery interestedly, picking up objects and setting them back where he found them.

The Blue Fairy stopped to listen, as the sound of footsteps alerted her to someone approaching them, she hurried from the room and met whoever it had been in the hall way. Muttering in undertone, Emma could barely hear what was being said, but it sounded slightly urgent.

"Henry? The Blue Fairy", she mulled quietly, motioning her son over. "In your book, she's good right? "

Henry frowned, "Not a book Emma. Remember? "He sounded a little patronising and disappointed in her. But he saw the uneasiness in her eyes and reined in his tone. He hadn't forgotten that she had been leaving, and was not sure if she was still on that path; even though he couldn't think it possible that she could think of such a thing since the curse had been broken.

Emma waved him on, "Yeah ", she hedged.

Henry pondered her question, but he was stumped, "It never said. You know… She turned Pinocchio into a real boy, and helped Jimny cricket and all, but it never said. ", he shrugged generally. He suddenly grinned, "But come on Emma, she was a Nun. If she was bad, why would be she be a Nun in this world? "

Emma smiled at his tone and reasoning, but they were both interrupted by two people entering, one the Blue Fairy, and the other an unfamiliar woman, who was beaming with what it seemed like never ending happiness.

Before anything could happen, the woman bounded up to Emma and took her hands in hers, beaming, "I will be the best Fairy Godmother in the world! "She burst out excitedly, she was almost humming with happiness. Behind her, from the look on The Blue Fairy's face, it looked as if she was about to have some sort of stroke.

Emma hesitated a little unsurely, she tried to pull her hands out of the wired Nun's hands, but she had a death grip on her. She was suddenly feeling like the Dragon was much more appealing at that moment, compared to this… Emma glanced at Henry, with a slight look of alarm on her face as the Nun continued to babble on about her determination of her duties or something along those lines. She muttered to him, "Stand back, she may vomit rainbows in a moment".

Henry smiled.

The Blue Fairy wrenched their hands apart and glared, "This is Nova ", she seemed more agitated than when she first left the room not even five minutes ago.

Emma swallowed, her usual look of uncomfortable understanding and disbelief

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Snow sat, looking defeated in the hospital waiting room, knowing that James was still trying to force information out of Dr Whale. She felt miserable, her daughter was gone, and her… Grandson… It had occurred to her not long ago, that she in fact, had a grandson. The fact that she had missed out on her daughter growing up, as well as her beautiful grandson had not eluded her thought. She smiled weakly at the thought of her Miniature Prince Charming. She wondered if Emma was thinking of her…

"Snow ", James called her, striding towards her, looking like a man on a mission. She looked up as he approached her. "He won't talk, so we should move on and ask around, maybe try and track down some of our friends, before Regina shows up? "

Snow looked at him with a heartbroken expression, which make him feel immediately guilt ridden.

He sighed and knelt beside her, taking her hand in his, "We have to assemble our allies. What happens if Emma's in trouble? And we need help? Maybe we can track down someone who can help find The Blue Fairy ", he offered hopefully. James was in pain, seeing his love suffer wasn't something he could stand, he needed to find his daughter, but seeing his wife like this was worse than being gutted, and he had to rectify this first.

Snow looked at him, her doe eyes making his chest ache with sadness. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes, as she nodded woefully.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Red hurried across the street, along with Jimny, she searched high and low for anyone she recognised. So far she didn't see anyone she knew, not even the mystery man she was travelling around town with. She looked at him questioningly and opened her mouth to ask who on earth was he; when suddenly a booming, accented voice called out from behind her.

"Hey! Wait a minute! "

Jimny and Red spun around to see Gepetto hurrying after them. Red recognised him and Jimny grinned with excitement.

"Gepetto! "Jimny cried and hurried to meet the older man. They embraced warmly and when Gepetto pulled away, he sized up the born again cricket, now re-born back into man; clasping his arms affectionately.

"Jimny! It's been a long time since I saw such a large cricket ", he joked friendly.

Red's eyes bulged slightly with a look of amazement and bewilderment, "What? "She mumbled confusingly.

OOOOOOOOOO

TWO HOURS LATER….

"Now, we need to make sure the Queen does not locate our daughter before we can find her. "James announced as her strode through the door of Grannies with Snow. There was a large sized group of people in Grannies, since James and Snow sent messages and made several calls through the awfully convenient phones in town to major allies that were there in the war room when The Blue fairy made the announcement that had led to this very moment.

Gepetto nodded grimly, thinking only of his son, whom he did not see and recall seeing before the curse had been broken. Jimny looked at him sympathetically, and spoke up. "Well we can set up guards to keep a look out for Emma. But I see no danger that Emma and Henry stay with The Blue Fairy ", he reasoned. Jimny received a multitude of glares, his collar burned and he wished he was a cricket once more. He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Well she has almost always led the straight and narrow, "He coughed, "I m-mean, I have known her for a life time and she has always um… " He swallowed, not wanting to exactly lie, but to say that The Blue Fairy was extremely trustworthy was a long shot… As she had told the Royals that there had been only one place in the cupboard… And just look at how that turned out.

Gepetto took the lead, sensing his friend's crippling fear of the angry looks from people around him. "The Blue Fairy has always protected. "He vowed, "She gave me my son, and helped your daughter escape the curse in order to save us all. I believe she is trustworthy ", he commended firmly.

Snow frowned and returned her gaze to Jimny, curiosity clawed at her as she had a hard time placing this man. "Who are you? "She asked suddenly, relieving everyone's desire to also know.

Jimny looked stunned for many moments, before offering a sheepish smile, "Jimny the cricket now man ". He introduced himself politely.

Everyone was stunned, and again, Snow rebounded quickly. "But… You're not a cricket anymore? "

Jimny looked slightly embarrassed, "No, I was a man, then uh a cricket, so naturally the curse turned me back ", he explained awkwardly. He shuffled his feet while the group mulled the answer with mostly astonished facial expressions.

Snow frowned suspiciously, but her mind was spoken by her husband before she could ask herself. "How on earth, did you become a cricket? " James asked incredulously.

Jimny coloured and cleared his throat painfully and uncomfortably. "Well… The Blue Fairy turned me into one ".

There was silence for many moments before Red spoke up. "So… "She started, "You want us to trust someone… Who turned you into a cricket? "She concluded.

Reviews perhaps? The next one will have a Charming family… Kinda reunion… You could call it that.

I has plans…
