Summary: Emma hears her sons cries and knows she cannot give the little boy, and decides to keep him. But she is still the saviour and she still needs to break the curse.

So Sailor Sayuri commented on how the last chapter proceeded a little two fast and I would like to apologise for that. I think it was because I don't know why but I found the last chapter quite hard to write, but I hope the following chapters will make up for that. So I apologise again.

A massive thank you to everyone reading this, commenting and favouriting/following. It means so much to see all of you enjoying it. So shoutouts to:

I think this may be the longest chapter yet!

I am really enjoying writing this story, I hope everyone reading it likes it too - even the silent readers, though I would love to hear from more of you!

Emma and Regina look to one another smiling, "Regina... I have to know. Who did this to you..." Regina looks away, "Regina."

"I'm not reporting him." She says.

"Gold. Was it Gold." Emma can see in her eyes it was, she's fuming. "He planned this... Son of a -" She stops looking to Henry with Mary Margret. Emma can see in her eyes something has changed. "Regina... I think we broke your curse..."

"I broke my curse..? My - okay, should have saw that coming." She sighs. "I need to get out of here, they don't like me."

Snow in question is watching the scene in front of her, feeling guilty. Guilty for what is about to happen, for what she is about to do because they're so happy the other is okay but she is the evil queen. "Emma!" Snow shouts. "Get away from her."

"What?!" Emma says turning to her supposed mother. "No, you don't get to say anything."

"I'm your mo-"

"You're my what? You're the person who cast me away in a wardrobe. No you don't get to speak Snow White." Emma says, she had hoped the curse wouldn't break this early, she wanted to be prepared but then Regina got hurt in the process. She wasn't not not doing anything. "You didn't care about me when you threw me in the wardrobe, I swear you were only thinking of yourself."

"Emma." She ignores it, "Emma." Then it clicks it's Regina.

"Yeah?" She says turning, frowning. Her voice softens, dramatically. "What is that?" Emma's eyes widen at the green cloud coming towards them. "Is that... magic?"

"Gold." Emma says shaking her head. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted him."

"Snow!" They all sigh when they hear David's voice. "Charming." Snow says and Charming and Snow have a little reunion. "Can we go before he realises I'm here?" Emma asks and they both nod. "Great let's find Renée."

"Emma..." Emma sighs, turning to David. "Hi." She looks at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact. "How did you break the curse?"

Emma knows now or never. "True loves kiss."

"You and Henry?" He asks and Henry shakes his head. "Me and Regina."

OoO

Emma had gotten out of there as soon as she had the chance. The pair had embraced her, David had cradled her head like she does to Henry and that freaked her out. She ran as soon as she could. She didn't want to be in that situation. She hadn't wanted to see them this soon. She wanted to be ready, wanted to know what to say but instead she freaked. She sighs and feels Regina take her hand and squeezes it. "It's okay to be a bit jumpy." She says and Emma smiles.

"I shouldn't have freaked like that..." Emma says, she's regretting it. But deep down she knows she has a right to feel this.

"You aren't feeling anything other than what you should be feeling." Henry says, he hugs her side and Emma rolls her eyes leaning down to kiss his forehead. Slowly everyone looks to the three of them and Emma can't help but feel like a sitting duck. The cloud had been and gone, now there trying to see what the aftermath is. "Are you sure have no idea what this is?" Emma asks Regina, again.

"I don't know what it is. But I know who we ask." Emma nods. So does she. They get to Gold's shop however he isn't there. "I have to do something, I'll meet you two at the diner later." Regina says, pressing her lips to Emma's cheek. Emma frowns but bids goodbye.

She walks off in the direction of the hospital. "So what's the plan?" Snow asks appearing from out of nowhere. "Jezz. Don't frighten me like that." Emma snaps then tries to chuckle to diffuse the tension. It didn't really work, Snow and Charming look to one another as do Henry and Emma. "So you're my grandparents?"

The two share a look of shock and study the little boy. He looks up at them expectedly and Charming the first to react. "Yeah, suppose so." He pats his shoulder and Emma smiles, no one catches it but she smiles. She then frowns looking around, she is really curious what Regina is doing.

Regina however smiles to the woman and goes to the little cell/patients room. It is a patient room but seems more like a prison. She opens the door to see the woman she never thought she would see again. Belle. "Your majesty..?" Belle asks standing to greet the woman. "What did I do this time."

"Nothing, Belle... I'm sorry for what I did. You can go, find Rumple." She says with a little smile. Belle's face instantly brightens.

"He's okay? Thank you." She doesn't hesitate to go find him. Regina sighs, she knows she did the right thing but Gold is going to kill her, she knows it.

OoO

Emma is looking around Gold's shop, Snow and Charming had asked to spend time with Henry as grandparents not as friends. She happily agreed knowing Henry wanted too. She needs time for thinking anyway. The only bit that annoyed her was they took Renée too, she's hr police dog as well as their pet. She hears the bell chime and turns to the brunette who has ratty hair and looks like she needs to sleep. "Rumple?"

"Sorry, can I help you?" Emma says, getting her badge ready. "I'm the sheriff here." Belle looks the woman up and down.

"I'm Belle French, I'm looking for Rumple." Emma nods, she had gathered that. "I'm sorry I don't know where he is. But when I find him I'll let him know your looking."

"Thank you, urm, sorry I didn't get your name." Emma smiles.

"Emma. I don't think I've seen you around here, but I'm assuming your Belle and Rumple is the beast..." Emma says more to herself putting the pieces together. "Sorry ignore me, nice to meet you Belle." Belle nods.

"You too, urm, can I help you look for Rumple? I haven't seen him in ages." Emma smiles and happily nods.

They're walking to the direction they saw the cloud come from. "So I don't even remember you from the enchanted forest, who are you?"

Emma shifts her weight from one foot to another. "I'm not in the book." She says, hoping she'll leave it as that.

"So how do you know about us? We're not exactly well done in this world."

"I'm Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter." She sighs, Belle's eyes widen but not at Emma, she had forgotten about Emma as soon as she saw Rumple.

"Rumple!" Belle yells running forward, and Emma smiles. She is clearly so in love with him. "Belle..." He says, limping a little faster. They meet and instantly go into a hug. "How... you're alive..." Emma frowns, he thought she was dead? That must be a horrible feeling. She can't imagine thinking that Regina was dead, so how do he feel?

"Yes, I don't know what happened, I just felt I woke up from an eternity of sleep." Belle lies and Rumple can sense the lie too. "Who did this to you?" He asks and Belle shakes her head.

"I don't know." She lies, and Emma can tell she's protecting someone. But she has other business to deal with. "Gold."

He looks up and sniggers. "Miss Swan, and what do I owe the pleasure."

"You double crossed me Gold, our deal is off." She says, she's a little thankful she only owes him one favour again. "You could have killed her." She says, her voice raising a lot more. "You were the one who put her into the sleeping curse."

"I don't what you're talking about, dearie. I took the egg yes, so you no longer owe me two favours but your first one is very much still intact." He says and she nods.

"I know Gold." She says, "What was that cloud?"

"Magic, Miss Swan." So it was magic, Belle pulls out of Rumple's arms.

"Why do you need magic?" Rumple looks down, "Magic is power, Belle, magic is power."

Belle shakes her head, whispering "But you don't need power, Rumple."

Emma leaves them to themselves, and walks back. She had found out what she wanted to know so went in search of Regina, Henry and the Charmings. Or just Henry and Regina, but where there is Henry there is Charmings. She sighs, this is happening way too soon and she doesn't like how quickly it's happened. In the space of two days she's found her true love and suddenly has parents. It's a little overwhelming for her, but that isn't what worries her. In the past when she has been overwhelmed her first instinct has been to run, what worries her is she isn't getting the instinct to run. She wants to make this work, with Regina and surprisingly with her parents. She wants to understand what happened and why they felt the need to give up their baby. However she also wants to make them understand they can't go straight to being doting parents. She needs them to understand the life she's had, and how that has affected her as a person, and a daughter. They need to understand she's not ready. She just hopes they will.

OoO

She knocks on the door to Snow's apartment, she can hear Renée's tail hitting the wall wanting to get to her. She smiles when she is bombarded by the puppy once the door is open, "Hey girl, okay, okay calm down." She picks the dog up and gets a rewarding lick on the cheek.

"Hey Emma,"

"Mom! We had so much fun." Emma smiles.

"Good, I told Regina to meet us here. Then we'll head home. I told Regina she can dinner at ours too." Henry nods, happy about the news. Snow and Charming share a look.

"Emma, she isn't good to be around, specially for Henry." Emma tenses.

"Since I've been here, I have no reason not to trust her. I have more reason to trust her than I have to trust you." She says, she knows it hurts but Regina wasn't the one who cast her in a wardrobe. They were. She wants to make it work but they need to accept Regina in her life. "I get it, she's the evil queen to you, but to me... She's Regina. She will only ever be Regina. If anyone has any idea of hurting her or making her pay - I will intervene, to me she hasn't done anything. And I will always stand behind her, Snow... I love her. You need to accept her if you think there is going to be any sort of relationship between us two. You too David... or Charming..."

"No my name is actually David." He says and Emma smiles, finally some normal. Even if it is just name. Snow, however, is standing there staring at the door, where they all turn to Regina smiling at Emma who is also hugging Henry under one arm.

"Hey," Emma says realising her whole speech had just been heard by Regina.

"Thank you." Emma smiles, nodding. She kisses Regina's cheek and smiles again, but then remembers her parents. She looks to them smiling a little sheepishly and then kisses Henry's forehead. "Well, thank you for looking after him but we should probably be heading off now." She says and the two royals nod, a little dumbfounded.

When they leave Snow looks to Charming. "She's right, who are we to decide who our daughter is with?"

David sighs, "I'm not even sure we can class her as our daughter yet. We need to prove ourselves to her."

"Yes, I agree." Snow runs a hand through her hair and spots the difference. "I've cut my hair... I still can't believe I did that..." Snow says a little saddened then goes back to her point. "Yes, I agree and the first step is accepting Regina. They are clearly so happy together. And Henry loves her."

"But Snow... she's the evil queen..."

"Yes, but she's also our daughter's true love. We didn't take no for an answer and we didn't even know. They know, they're not going to take no as an answer, just like us."
