The next day Mary Margaret woke up to the sound of her alarm clock it was Monday she remembered she has to get ready for work and try to get Emma registered Mary Margaretgot out of bed and headed into the bathroom to go get ready.
Mary Margaret look at the clock on the wall it's time to wake Emma Mary Margaret thought as she headed upstairs.
Mary Margaret opened the door and saw Emma stretched across the bed blonde curls across her face Mary Margaret smiled and walked over to the bed.
"Emma" Mary Margaret whispered as she shook her lightly Emma groaned in annoyance "Emma it's time to wake up" Mary Margaret tried again.
Emma pulled the covers over her head and turned away from Her mother Mary Margaret sighed she can tell Emma's definitely not a morning person.
Mary Margaret pulled the covers from over Emma's head "come on Emma I have to go to work and you have to go to school" Mary Margaret said.
Emma's eyes shot open in horror school!? She's 28 she already did her years in school and they where horrible she's not going through them again.
Emma looked at her mother and tried the old fashioned puppy dog eyes It always worked onher dad when she was her normal size but not so much on her mother but it should work even better now Emma thought Emma widened her eyes and stuck out her little bottom lip "but I don't want to go to school" Emma said.
Mary Margaret looked into emerald eyes and almost caved this little girl is too cute for her own good but she has to stay strong "I know little one but you have to it will be fun you will make friends and your teacher is really nice you'll love it Emma" Mary Margaret said with a smile.
Emma looked down and sighed "okay"
Mary Margaret wonder why Emma was so upset about going to school "Emma What's wrong sweetie?" Mary Margaret asked "nothing I'm fine" Emma answered as she walked over to her clothes.
Mary Margaret didn't like how upset Emma was she had to cheer her up Mary Margaret stood up and walked over to where the little girl was trying to put on her clothes with a frown on her face.
Mary Margaret smiled "hey little one how about after school you and I make a pizza for dinner it will be fun"
Emma look up at her mother and grinned "really!?" Emma asked happily.
Mary Margaret chuckled "yes really but you have to get ready for school first missy"
"Okay!" Emma said as she hurry to get her clothes on.
Mary Margaret laughed as she walked down stairs to go get started on breakfast.
As Emma finished getting dressed she went into the bathroom to do her hair as she walked in the bathroom she realized she was to small to see herself in the mirror.
Shetried to stand on her tippy toes but she could barely see "damit" Emma muttered under her breathe "emma come on and eat we're going to be late" Emma heard her mother yell "I can't reach the mirror to do my hair" Emma wined frustrated she could feel the tears brimming her eyes.
Mary Margaret walked into the bathroom room and stopped at the sight of Emma trying to look in the mirror with tears in her eyes "oh Emma sweetheart it's okay" Mary Margaret said as she took the brush out of Emma's hand and started to brush her hair.
Mary Margaret loved brushing and playing in Emma hair it was soft and long with bouncy blonde curls Mary Margaret could play in Emma's hair all day but she couldn't she had to get to work and Emma to school Mary Margaret quickly put Emma's hair in two braids "there you go" Mary Margaret said as the turned Emma to her "you look beautiful little one" Mary Margaretsaid with a smile.
Emma looked down at her shoes with pink staining her cheeks "thank you mommy I-I mean M-Mary Margaret" Emma stuttered as she looked up at her mother to see if she caught her slip up Mary Margaret had a shocked look on her face Emma looked back down at her shoes "sorry" Emma whispered She knew she messed up now her mother probably feels uncomfortable with her she's probably angry and annoying with her she probably didn't want her anymore Emma wanted to cry but she couldn't not yet she had to hold it in.
Mary Margaret smile "oh that's okay Emma but Emma?" Mary Margaret asked "y-yes" Emma stuttered "why do you call me your mother I don't mine but I would just like to know why?" Mary Margaret asked softly Emma looked up into her mother eyes she saw kindness and love no anger or hatred Emma took a deep breath "because I-l think of you as my mom because all my life I have been alone no one wanted me but then you came and took me in nobody ever been there for me except for you" tears was now falling freely.
Mary Margaret couldn't hold back the few tears that came out seeing the broken look on Emma's face was to much to bare Mary Margaret could feel her heartbreak with every word Emma said Mary Margaret was struggling to keep more tears from coming out but shehad to she had to be strong for the little girl in front of her "oh Emma" Mary Margaret said as she Kneeled down and pulled the little girl into her arms "it's okay your not alone anymore and you never will be again" Emma could tell her
mother was telling the truth.
They stayed there like that for a few more moments until Mary Margaret pulled away "hey what do you say we go downstairs and have some breakfast" right on cue Emma stomach started to growl "I'd say my stomach agrees" Emma laughed Mary Margaret chuckled "come on" Mary Margaret said as she stretched out her hand for Emma to take Emma grabbed Mary Margaret's hand and walked out the bathroom.
After breakfast Mary Margaret and Emma walked to school just as turn the corner Mary Margaret crashed into a rock hard chestand fell to the ground "I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going are you okay?" Mary Margaret heard a familiar male voice say.
Mary Margaret looked up her breathe caught in her chest at the sight of deep blue concern eyes staring down at her "David?"

"I would love to walk you two" David smiled "oh David you really don't have to" Mary Margaret began "I insist" David said flashing her one of those charming smiles that made Mary Margaret knees go weak "okay" was all Mary Margaret could say.
As they walked to the school Emma grabbed David's hand David was surprised by this action but smiled.
David felt drawn to them they felt so familiar he has more of a connection with Emma and Mary Margaret then he does his own wife David was pulled out of his thought when he heard Mary Margaret voice.

"Goodbye Emma" David waved backas they turned and headed toward the school David couldn't help but stare after Mary Margaret he couldn't get her out of his head everything about her just felt so right to him David shook the thoughts away he couldn't think like that he had a wife a wife he didn't love but he had to try but all his thoughts kept going back to one person Mary Margaret Blanchard.
When the bell rang Emma was so relieved she did not like her class her mother was right her teacher was nice better then the teachers she had in the pass when she was a kid but the kids one kid sneezed in her face! She couldn't wait to leave here but there is one thing she did enjoy coloring she made her mommy a picture.
Emma rolled her eyes at herself she's been calling her mother mommy more and more she's been doing a lot more child like things she noticed she really need to break this curse but where to start?
"Emma" called Emma was pulled out of her thoughts at the sound of her teachers voice "yes " Emma called back.
"Time to go sweetie here" called back.
Emma whipped her head around eyes brightened with a big grin on her face at the sight of her mother "mommy!" Emma said excitedly she could hold back the happiness she felt from seeing her mother.
Emma ran over to Mary Margaret tackling her legs Mary Margaret chuckled at the little girls excitement "Hi little one ready to go?" Mary Margaret asked as she picked Emma up and settle her on her hip.
Emma nodded"okay say bye to your teacher Emma" emma waved to her teacher as they walked out the door.
When they reached the loft Emma was sleep in Mary Margaret's arms she lead Emma down on the couch her little eyes started to flutter open.
"Hey there sleepyhead" Mary Margaret said smiling down at her "hey" Emma said sleepily.
"You ready to help me make the pizza?" Mary Margaret asked
Emma sat up quickly "yeah!" Emma said as she jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen.
Mary Margaret chuckled "hey wait for me little one" Mary Margaret sad as she walked into the kitchen.
"So what first?" Emma asked "first we need to get something for you to stand on" Mary Margaret said as she went to go get a stool for Emma to stand on.
Mary Margaret placed emma on the stool "okay Emma you wanna help me roll the dough?" Mary Margaret asked "yeah!" Emma said excitedly.
Emma grabbed one end of the rolling pin and Mary Margaret grabbed the other and they rolled the dough together.
when they finished rolling the dough Mary Margaret grabbed the sauce and started spreading it over the dough.
Emma grabbed the cheese and started spreading and eating it "Emma if you keep eating the cheese there's not gonna be enough for the pizza" Mary Margaret said "sorry I just really like cheese" Emma laughed Mary Margaret chuckled "I can tell"
Emma chuckled as she put another handful of cheese on the pizza "okay now I'll put the pizza in the oven and while I do that Emma sweetie can you go pick a movie for us to watch" Mary Margaret asked as she put the pizza in the oven.
"Umm can we color instead please" Emma asked she felt ridiculous she's 28 years old and all she wants to do is color Emma looked down at her feet feeling embarrassed about her request.
"Of course we can" Mary Margaret could tell Emma felt embarrassed but she didn't get why "Okay" Emma said as she jumped off the stool and went to go get her coloring books That her teacher had gave her.
Emma gave Mary Margaret her Disney coloring book she thought maybe it could jog her memory.
Mary Margaret flip through the pages and stop on a picture of Snow White and Prince Charming "I think I'll color this one what about you em?" Mary Margaret asked
Emma grinned up at her mother "I'm coloring a picture of red riding hood" Emma said as she colored her picture.
As Mary Margaret colored she remember Emma never told her how her day went "Emma?" Mary Margaret said
"Yes mommy?" Emma answered "how was your first day of school you never told me about it" Mary Margaret asked
Emma thought back to her day at school and looked down and groaned it was horrible emma thought.
