Chapter 10 Happily Ever After…

Graham

Graham and Emma looked at each other in complete shock. She didn't remember who she was or what had just happened. How could this have happened neither of them understood how she could just forget everything just like that?

Henry came running out of the car and stood right next to Emma.

"What's wrong with her Emma?"

"She doesn't remember anything."

"It must still be a part of the curse, remember if someone tried to leave they would get hurt or something bad would happen to them."

"Yeah but what does that have to do with what happened to her."

"She crossed the line and it must have made her forget we must still not be able to leave."

Emma and Graham thought about what Henry said and knew he was right. It was the only thing that could explain what they just saw.

"Regina do you remember who I am?"

"No I don't I'm sorry."

Henry looked a little hurt so Emma brought him in closer to her wrapping her arm around him to comfort him. Graham helped Regina up and took her to the car while and Henry and Emma followed him.

"We should get her to Doctor Whale to make sure she is ok and go tell everyone what happened."

"Ok Emma but its going to be hard to explain to everyone, they might not believe it they might think that Regina is lying."

"Well we will have to convince them."

At that they drove off and headed into town with Regina in the backseat looking more confused and scared. They arrived at the hospital and explained to Doctor Whale what had happened. He said he would examine her and let them know what he figured out what was wrong with her. Then they headed to town hall because the meeting was about to start.

Emma

David, Mary Margaret and Ruby were outside waiting for them. Ruby took Henry inside right away while the rest of them waited outside.

"Guys she doesn't remember anything crossing the line must have made her forget."

"How could that have happened the curse was broken?"

"Well we must have still not be able to leave because I'm telling you she doesn't remember and I can tell that she isn't lying."

"Alright well you have our support in there. Are you ready?"

"Yeah I'll be in in a minute I just need to talk to Graham."

They both looked at Graham and Emma and just smiled as they walked in.

"I can't do this Graham."

"What are you talking about of course you can; you have so many people that support you and you have me and I will be right beside you."

"I know but I'm not a leader I don't know what I am doing."

"Most leaders don't Emma, you are amazing and you are going to do great I know it."

"Ok I'll try my best."

"Kiss for luck."

She immediately stepped towards him and connected their lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck while his hands pulled her hips into his. She ran her hands through his hair and only stopped the kiss when she needed to come up for air.

"Ok I'm more ready now."

"Good then let's go."

They headed inside and got ready as they heard the rumblings of people arguing inside. As they opened the doors they already saw that people were speaking and trying to get their points across.

Emma walked straight to the front as Graham followed behind her. David spoke up and told everyone to quiet down to give Emma the floor.

"Thanks David. Alright I know you are all confused about what has been going on, I am too. But the problem we need to deal with right now is Regina. I know a lot of you think we should execute her or put her in jail or exile her or something along those lines but something has happened. Regina crossed the line at the town's edge and she forgot everything. She doesn't know who she is or anything about what she has done. We think that the curse still won't let us leave so if we cross the line we forget everything about who we are. I know this is hard to believe and it is hard to trust Regina but I know she is telling the truth, she doesn't remember anything. I think we should let her live her life and try to help her remember the good things about herself. That's all I have to say I guess its someone else's turn to speak."

Everyone was silent and Emma didn't know what they were thinking and that made her nervous. But David, Mary Margaret, Graham, Henry, Ruby and even Leroy all came and stood behind her showing their support.

Mary Margaret was the first to speak. "Well I guess we should vote about what we should do with Regina. Whoever thinks we should get rid of Regina raise their hand."

Only a couple of people raised their hand and Emma was in total shock she couldn't believe what she just said worked. And when they said who thought they should let her live the majority raised their hand. They decided that Regina would be monitored by Archie and Doctor Whale to make sure she was alright and not going to kill everyone. Emma would let her see Henry and hopefully help her remember that she could be good.

"I can't believe that worked you were awesome Emma, thanks I didn't want them to kill Regina she did take care of me."

"Of course I would do anything for you Henry."

Henry ran into Emma's arms and he squeezed her like he never wanted to let go.

"I love you Henry."

"I love you too Emma."

Henry headed home with Mary Margaret and David while Emma took Graham back to his house. It had been a long day and they wanted to get some rest. When they got to his house they headed right for his room and just laid in his bed with hands intertwined.

"I'm glad you decided to stay in Storybrooke, you kind of saved everyone."

"Ahh it was nothing I had a little help."

They both laughed a little because it had been a crazy week and they knew that they had gone through a lot.

"Oh I forgot I have something for you."

Emma got up and went to his closet where she pulled out a locked box. She opened it and pulled out his heart. She carefully brought it over to him and put it in his hand. It had such a strong beat and was very warm and she knew that was because he was such a warm person.

"Graham you should try to put it back in."

"I don't think I can. You should do it."

"No Graham I can't do that what if I hurt you or even worse kill you. I can't lose you."

"I trust you Emma you can do it."

She thought it over and finally agreed to do it. Graham took off his shirt and sat up to give her a good angle. She took the heart in her
hand and prepared to put it back in.

"I love you Graham with all my heart."

"I love you too Emma."
