Chapter 10: I Know Why

Emma's stomach finally got the better of her, so they all made their way over to Granny's. As they walked in gasps could be heard going all around the small diner. It was not every day Snow White, Prince Charming and The Savior walk in together and looking like their getting along with The Evil Queen.

"IT'S RUDE TO STARE" Granny yells from behind the counter and everyone goes back to their food, some even leave whatever it is that is going on they don't want to be there when all hell breaks loose.

The family walked up to a now empty booth and took their seats, Regina and Emma sat on one side with Skylar sitting happily on the former queen's lap. While the Charming's sat on the other. The only thing missing was Henry, the last part of their unconventional little family.

Ruby approaches the new family unit and hands them their menus "Here are your menus, let me know when you are ready to order" with that she makes her way back to the counter, smiling at the way the small girl has brought enemy's together.

"What would you like to eat kiddo?" Emma asks looking over at her daughter, who's looking out the window.

"Grill cheese"

"You had that yesterday, why don't you have something else for breakfast." suggests Regina running her hand through her daughter's blonde hair.

"No grill cheese?" asks the small blonde pouting up at the brunette. Regina couldn't take it, how could she say no to that face plus she didn't want to be seen as the bad parent, so she did what seemed reasonable.

"Emma, tell her she can't have a grill cheese" Emma's smirk instantly vanishes from her lips and glares at the brunette. How did enjoying Regina crumble under their daughter's pout turn into this, she can't say no to that face. I mean the kid got her to join in on bath time last night.

"Why me?" she hisses at the brunette.

"Because I can't" Regina hisses back.

"And you think I can?" David and Mary Margaret watch them hiss at one another with small smiles playing at their lips. Their daughter was happy and that little girl was making that happen along with Regina. They knew then that they would stand by them no matter what.

"Hey kiddo" David greets his grandson who slowly approaches them stopping Emma and Regina's bickering. Henry smiles shyly at him and looks around the booth his eyes landing on his sister. He eyed the way Regina hugged the small blonde and the way Emma moved blonde hair out of his sister face before turning to him with a smile, he gives her a shy smile before David talks again "I thought you were hanging out with your dad" This gets Regina's attention.

"Dad?" she questions over at the sheriff who stiffens.

"I…look I know I told you he was-" The blonde tries to explain only to be interrupted by a male voice.

"So what Henry told me was all true?" Neal asks them his eyes landing on Regina instantly. He looks over at Emma with a questioning gaze. The blonde looks at Henry and finds him fidgeting under her gaze, of course he would tell him.

"Not that is any of your business, but yes it's true" Emma responds trying to ignore the way Regina's gaze is burning holes into the back of her head.

"I didn't tell him about Mr. Gold" pointed out Henry quickly, this gets Neal's attention.

"What about my dad?" pondered Neal looking down at his son.

"Henry's father is Gold's son?" an enraged Regina snapped at Emma and the blonde for her part doesn't know what to say… how can she explain to the brunette that the guy standing is Henry's not dead dad and also happens to be Gold's son. "You know what, I have suddenly lost my appetite so if you'll move out of the booth so that I can get out it would be greatly appreciated Ms. Swan"

"Regina I-" Emma doesn't know what to do, she knew she was going to have to tell her about Henry's dad eventually but not like this, then Skylar came and it changed everything even more because turns out the guy's father is a lunatic trying to hurt her daughter. Makes her think back to when Gold was dying, had she known she would have sped up the process.

Regina's mother would be alive with her heart back in her chest, Snow's heart wouldn't be turning black, Gold would be dead and they wouldn't be in this mess.

"I don't have time for this" with that purple smoke wraps itself around Regina and Skylar puffing then away leaving a defeated looking Emma behind.

Snow looks around the diner and notices that everyone who is still there is looking their way.

"What about my father, Emma?" The blonde doesn't answer she just gets up and looks over at her parents.

"Can you guys take care of this?" She doesn't wait for an answer she just walks away and makes her way out of the diner.

"Emma wait" Henry calls after the blonde.

"What is it?" asks the sheriff turning around to face her son, who seems to be thinking about what to say "look kid I really don't have time right now. I have to go talk to your mom" with that she starts to walk again, leaving Henry behind.

Making a detour she heads to the station to grab her car. When she gets to the mansion she parks and makes her way up the path to the front door. She takes a deep breath before knocking. A couple of knocks later the door opens to reveal Regina with flour smudges on her cheeks.

They don't say anything the brunet just steps aside and lets Emma inside.

"Regina about-"

"Later. Right now why don't you help us make breakfast" Regina says and Emma nods. Together they make their way towards the kitchen, where Emma finds Skylar sitting on a stool at the kitchen island.

When the little girl turned around to greet her, Emma found similar flour smudges on her small tan cheeks and smudges of chocolate around her lips. How can this kid just keep getting cuter and cuter?

"Have you been eating chocolate?" Emma asks after she kisses her daughter's forehead. Skylar nods up at her mother.

"Yes but then mommy took the bag cuz we needed it for the pancakes." pouts Skylar making Emma laugh.

"That and someone was starting to get hyper" Regina mentions while flipping a pancake. "Can you clean her up?"

Emma nods and grabs some napkins and wets them a little bringing them to her daughter's messy face. Skylar moves her head around and tries to swat her mother's hands away.

"I was saving that chocolate for later" grumbles Skylar when Emma's done wiping her face. Regina and Emma share at laugh at that.

They all sit around the kitchen island and enjoy their family breakfast.

They're sitting in the living room with Skylar, who was watching some documentary on monkeys. When Emma first saw what she was watching she couldn't believe her eyes. What were their future self's teaching this kid.

"I'm not mad' Regina says suddenly.

"You're not?" Emma questions.

"Sweetie mamma and I are going to the study for a little bit okay" Regina whisper's to Skylar who just nods and with that both moms make their way to the study.

"Regina I'm sorry. I didn't know who he was, I found out a couple of days ago and I didn't tell you be-"

"I know why Gold is trying to hurt Skylar" Regina says cutting the blonde short.

"Why?" the blonde asks taking a seat on the couch, no need in pacing she was sure that whatever was going to leave Regina's mouth she would rather take it sitting down.

"He wants to bring his son back" Regina whispers going to stand a few steps away from Emma.

"What do you mean he wants to bring his son back; He just got his son back." Emma says trying to make sense of what Regina just said.

"Not like that, Emma" Says taking a seat next to the blonde.

"Then from where?" the blonde asks tuning on the couch to face Regina.

"Death" is the simple word that leaves the brunettes mouth.
