Hello everyone! Another chapter!
Before you begin reading, I would like to say thank you for all the love you have given this story. It is much more loved than I ever thought it would be. I am so happy that you guys like it.
One of you asked what music/song i listen to when I write this story or if I even do. And yes I do. I have to say i don't know why it's specifically this song, but the moment I heard it for the first time (that was after I came out with this story), I immediately thought of Emmett and Emma and their relationship as brother and sister. But yeah here is the song. It isn't popular I assume, but I still love it. One fo my favorites at the moment :) MUNA - Loudspeaker (can be found on Spotify)
Again thank you and enjoy the chapter :)

"Mother. What are you doing here?", Regina asked in horror, slightly turning to Ruby who stood with eyes filled with confusion and panic.
"You told us you couldn't arrive at the brunch because Henry didn't feel so well, so we decided to bring the brunch to you", Cora said and Regina gave an insecure smile. What should she do now?
"Who is at the door Regina?", Zelena asked and Cora smiled wide walking inside, making Regina step aside. She turned to her father who came up right behind his wife and kissed her cheek softly, making Regina smile despite the situation. Suddenly a scream was heard and they all turned to Cora who stood with her hand in front of her mouth.
"What's going on?", Mary Margaret asked, walking further inside and found the reason pretty fast when she saw her oldest son sitting in the couch next to Zelena.
"David", she whispered and the man looked at the son he lost so many years ago.
"What have you done?", he asked turning to Regina who stood with a guilty look on her face.
"Regina Maria Mills!", Cora yelled and Zelena and Emmett stood from their seats on the couch.
"Mom? Dad?", Emmett said looking at the older people who was his parents. Mary Margaret walked closer to him, bringing her palms to his face, holding his cheeks softly, as she caressed them softly with her thumps.
"It's been so long", she said and David came up to stand next to her, putting his hand on his son's shoulder softly, looking him over.
"I can't believe this"
Emmett smiled at them, letting them hold him as they pulled him in for a hug.
"What's going on?! Who's dead?!", a voice yelled as two bodies came running down the stairs and they all turned to see Emma and Emmett and the older person froze when he saw who it was.
"Shit", he whispered while Emma looked at her parents in this future.
"Mom? Dad?"
"Hi sweetie", Mary Margaret greeted her, holding out her hand and Emma walked over to them, smiling at them. But Mary Margaret was quick to turn to her now grown up son.
"Young man, you're not going anywhere", she said as she saw him sneaking upstairs and the man stopped, mentally punching himself before walking down the stairs once again and over to his parents.
"Hey mom", he said with insecurity and Mary Margaret eyed him angrily.
"What have you done? Bringing them here. You know how dangerous it is Emma", she said and Emmett groaned. His mother only ever used his female name when she was angry. She always did.
"Mooom", he pouted and Mary Margaret eyed him angrier.
"Don't you pout in front of me young man, I'm still your mother"
"Mary Margaret, please", Regina started, walking over to her husband. "He has nothing to do with this. I went back in time to get them", she said and Cora looked at her daughter with displeasure.
"Regina"
"Mother please, hear me out. Emmett told me to bring them back the moment he saw them, but then the remote disappeared, so they've been staying here while we've been looking for it", she finished and Emmett looked down and turned to meet his younger self's eyes who was mentally telling him to tell his wife the truth.
"Actually...", he started out, all of them turning to him and he turned to Regina, looking into her brown eyes, he loved so much. "The remote never disappeared. I took it"
"What? Why?", she asked in confusion and Emmett sighed turning to his brother.
"Because I wanted more time with Emmett. I hadn't seen him in fifteen years. Not having him here has been so hard. I just wanted a few moments with him", he said and they all turned to the boy who stared back at his sister's older self who was now his brother. He felt a hand on his cheek and turned to his mother who smiled softly at him.
"It's been hard for all of us"
"How much do they know?", Henry sr. asked and they all turned to him, Regina smiling at him.
"Everything", she answered and they all nodded looking at the children.
Another knock was heard and they all furrowed their eyebrows. Regina walked over to the door and opened it, revealing her niece.
"Hey aunt Regina", the girl said hugging her tight and walked inside seeing everybody widening their eyes at the girl's presence.
"Who died?"
They all shared looks and the fourteen year old got even more confused.
"Kara what are you doing here? I told you I would come and get you later", Zelena decided to step in, walking over to her and Kara turned to her mother.
"Gwen needed to go with her parents to the shop so I decided to come over here, playing a little with Henry, but I see he is rather busy", she said nodding towards Henry who was in Ruby's arms, currently playing with Emma's golden locks, as the blonde stood next to the brunette.
Emmett smiled walking over to Ruby and took his son into his arms, smiling at him. "Be careful Henry", he said and the boy laughed turning to his father.
"You should've called me Kara, do that next time alright?", Zelena said and the girl nodded turning to the two other teenagers in the room.
"Who are they?", she asked looking at her mother and Zelena turned to Emmett and Emma who eyed the girl back. The silence was tense and no one knew what to say. What could they possibly say to the girl?
"I'm Emmett", the boy said walking forward, holding out his hand and Kara eyed him wired for a moment before taking the offered hand.
"Kara"
Emmett smiled nodding before letting the girl's hand go. The adults shared looks, Zelena's eyes watering at the sight of her daughter finally meeting her father.
"You are a good boy, yes you are", Cora said softly as she tickled Henry's stomach making him laugh. She and Regina sat in the living room, taking care of Henry while her husband was helping Emmett and Ruby with dinner for all of them. David and Mary Margaret was talking with Emma and Emmett and Zelena had driven her and Kara back for a bath before they would arrive back.
Cora turned to look at her youngest daughter who looked down at her fingers, obviously thinking hard.
"What's wrong?", she asked turning Henry around so he sat with his back to her front. Regina looked at her mother and sighed deep.
"I fucked it up... now all of you have these memories of them... I ruined them...", she said and Cora sighed pulling her daughter closer.
"It's okay sweetie"
Regina sighed once again, letting her mother comfort her.
"Regina?", a voice said and the mother and daughter turned to see Emma standing behind them.
"Is everything okay?", Regina asked and Emma nodded looking into her eyes. Regina felt herself blush and could feel her mother's eyes hard on her.
"Can we talk?", Emma asked softly and Regina nodded turning to her mother who smiled nodding.
"Let's go to my room", she said and Emma nodded following her. She turned to look at Cora who smiled back at her and Emma couldn't help but see Regina in her. It wasn't hard to see, they were related.
They walked inside the bedroom and Regina turned to Emma who looked at her older self's closet. Regina sighed walking closer to the girl and brought her arms around her from behind.
"You're going to be a wonderful man. A wonderful father. And a wonderful husband", she whispered and Emma smiled, looking at the watches. She had always loved watches, the circle with the timer always so fascinating.
"How do we meet?", she asked and Regina thought back to where they meet, a smile appearing on her face.
"I'll let that be a surprise", she said and Emma turned her head, looking up at the woman and couldn't help but smile.
"I'm glad I'm marrying you. You're a wonderful woman", she said and Regina smiled at the girl.
"Can only say the same thing Emma"
The girl smiled and turned around fully, hugging the woman and Regina hugged her back. "I don't want to forget this", Emma said and Regina closed her eyes, knowing this would come.
"I know"
"Then why are you forcing us? We can save him!", Emma insisted, retrieving from the hug and Regina looked down at her.
"Emma please... we don't know how the future would look if Emmett survives that car accident. What if Henry is never born? What if you and I never make it. Then what?"
Emma sighed looking away and Regina could feel the frustration in the room. It was obvious Emma was struggling with her feelings. The girl had always had trouble with that.
"What if I can make sure that won't happen? That everything will become as it is now, despite Emmett still being alive?", Emma suddenly asked and Regina looked at the girl for a long time, not knowing what to answer. How could she trust the girl would actually keep that promise? After everything they will get through the next couple of years.
"Gina please", Emma pleaded, bringing her hands to Regina's cheeks and Regina brought her hands to Emma's wrist. "I can't lose him", the girl pleaded, tears now falling and Regina kept looking, still not knowing what to answer.
Should she say yes? Was it worth it? Taking the chance? A chance for having Emmett in their lives? A chance for Kara to have a father figure in her life? Was it worth the risk?
"Alright, this is it", Emmett said and Emma and Emmett walked over to the time machine, eyeing it with wonder.
"This is actually awesome by the way", Emmett said and older Emmett smiled nodding.
"Thanks"
"Here is your forgetting potion. I'm sorry but we can't risk you knowing about the future. I'm sorry", Regina said and the two siblings shared sad looks. Regina gave the their small bottles and they both looked at them.
"Drink", Emmett ordered and they both turned to him. They could see the hurt but they knew he had to. So he repeated.
"Drink. Your memories will be gone once you're back in your own time", he said and the two teens nodded turning the rest of the people in the lab.
"Be safe", Mary Margaret whispered waving at them and they both smiled waving back before turning to Cora and Henry who stood with their grandson in their arms, the boy playing with his grandmother's hair.
Emma turned to Ruby who walked over to her and hugged her tight. "Show that Jessica bitch who rules the school", she whispered and Emma chuckled nodding. The brunette smiled and walked back to stand next to Zelena who stared at Emmett.
The siblings turned to each other and hugged one last time before they would forget everything. "Together?", Emmett asked and Emma nodded turning to Regina who sighed nodding. Emma smiled softly before turning back to Emmett. Carefully they brought the bottles to their mouths and took it all in one sip. Regina pressed the button and before they knew it, the two teenagers were gone.
Don't disappoint me Emma
"Aw!", Emmett groaned as he opened his eyes and he saw Emma crouched in front of him.
"Oh my god Emmett I am so sorry", she said and the boy groaned looking up at his sister.
"No no it's good. What happened?", he asked, his words slurring and Emma helping him to stand.
"I was just training my moves and you came up behind my back and I just punched you. You scared the crap out of me", she explained and Emmett groaned, putting his hand to his head as he felt a headache coming.
"Oh shit I'm sorry Em"
Emma chuckled nodding. "It's okay Emmett. But I think I should be the one apologizing"
Emmett laughed and they both walked out of the garage and inside the living room where their parents sat in the couch, watching a show. They turned to see their children walking inside and they immediately jumped to their feet.
"What happened?", David asked as Emma sat Emmett down in the couch where their father had just sat.
"I gave Emma a heat attack and she punched me"
The two parents frowned looking at their daughter who chuckled. David chuckled shaking his head and turned to his son. "I'll go get you some water while your mother can find some aspirin for you"
Mary Margaret smiled nodding and walking up the stairs to their bedrooms while David walked to the kitchen. Emmett groaned laying down and Emma sighed, looking at him for a few moments before walking up the stairs to her room. She walked inside and laid down in her bed. She knew what she had to do.
