Waking up
" Wait David." Emma said pulled at his arm as he tried to walk into the shop. He turned to face her with a smile. She couldn't believe how nice he was to her. All of this caring for new too her and she wasn't sure how she should take it. Honestly if she thought about it these two people cared about her but at the same time they had just gave her up. Even if it was for a good reason, she had a hard life. Deep down though she was just happy that she found them and didn't go like thirty years before meeting them. " You don't have to do this. " She said and he bend down so he was eye level.
" No, I don't but I never repaid you for waking me up. Now come on lets teach you to ride a bike. " David said and pulled her along into the store.
"Okay you sure you won't let go?" Emma said. She was now sitting on her brand new purple bike. She was gripping the handle bars as tight as she could and David was at her back. She had demanded that they leave the training wheels off as she was too old for them. She glanced at him with big green eyes. He rubbed her back.
" I promise not until you are ready. Now come on petal. You got this Emma. " David said smiling as she began to push off.
Meanwhile...
"Gold." Regina said as she walked inside of the jail. She gripped the bars and starred at him. Ruby must had been busy since she left her. Regina sighed as she looked at him. "What brings you in here?" She asked. Mr. Gold was sitting on the bed and leaned on his cane. Most people seen him as a bitter mean old man but Regina knew better.
" You're darling lover decided that me beating up a guy for stealing my stuff was the last straw so she put me in here. " He said crossing his arms. Regina narrowed her eyes.
" One she is not my lover and two what has that got to do with me. " Regina basically growled. He starred at her.
" Because I need you to get me out of here Regina, please. " He said with a smirk. She let her mouth swing open. Now she was certain he was remembering because only his real self back when he was the dark one would remember their deal that she would do anything if he asked with please. She wanted to kill him.
" I knew it! You do remember!" She shouted. He chuckled and acted surprise as if he had no clue.
"Regina what are talking about?" He asked finally standing up to come closer.
" Don't play stupid. If you want out of here then answer me one question, what is your name?" She asked. Mr. Gold thought this was all funny. This was part of his games.
" Mr. Gold Regina what i-" She reached through and grabbed his neck. He began to lose his breath. He sighed and decided his life matter most. " Fine, Rumpelstiltskin. " He said and she finally let his go. She unlocked the gate but didn't move.
" Just go. I have more important things to worry about but don't think this is over Rumpelstiltskin. Don't think I will let the fact that you lie too me go. " She growled and ran out of the Ruby's office.
Back to the bike lesson
" You got this Em!" David called giving her his own nickname. She had finally manage to keep her balance up long enough to ride by herself. She only fell at least five times. She was surprise how hard it was but was glad she had David to teach her. She never got to learn like she should have when she was younger. Getting to be taught by her father had always been her dream and even at thirteen she was finally getting her wish. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't noticed Regina right in front her. David however did and was running toward them.
When she stopped, Regina grabbed the handle bars and starred at Emma. " What do we have here. " She said as she released the bike. David came up and put himself between Emma and Regina.
" What do you want Regina? Haven't you done enough basically putting Mary Margret into a coma. " He said narrowing his eyes. Emma glanced at the women with such hate.
"David I need to talk you. As for the brat I have arranged for someone to take her. Mary Margret can't help her anymore. Looks like you will be finally leaving this town. " Regina snapped. She knew Mary Margret wasn't going to make it and getting rid of Emma would mean her curse would be fine. Emma flung herself off the bike and moved around David.
" You leave her alone! I am not going anywhere... she is gonna adopt me. " Emma screamed at the women. David held her back he didn't want her hurt.
" Oh silly child she isn't going to adopt you. I know about the papers and you honestly think I would sign them. She knew that. She also knew I find you a family outside of this town. She can't stop me not now that she is basically dead. " She growled. She poked David's chest. " As for you my fiance' we are going home now. " She said trying to take his hand but he pulled away.
" I am not your fiance' and I am glad we never got marry. I don't know what I seen in you but it wasn't love. Leave Emma alone. Leave all of us alone Regina. " He said and turned to face Emma but she was gone, running. He ignored Regina and raced after the girl. " Emma wait!" He called. Before he knew it he lost sight of her. It wasn't until he pass an ally and seen her on the ground, crying.
" Leave me alone!" She screamed between tears. David bent down beside her and wiped her tears.
" Hey Emma, you can't listen to Regina. You aren't going anywhere I promise. I will find a way to keep you here. Regina is probably lying about having had find someone. How abou-" He paused when he heard his phone ring, Wale, popped up across screen. David frowned and answer.
" David you need to get here quick. " was all Wale could get out before hanging up. He looked at Emma and instantly knew what was going on. Both of them got up and ran to his truck. It only took him minutes to get there, run up and came to a complete stop when he seen Wale.
" What has happened? Is she waking up? Is she okay? " He asked as Emma came behind him. No one could say anything else as Wale just shook his head and Emma was already halfway to Mary Margret's bed. " Emma..." He called after her but there no used she was already at the women's bedside. All the monitors were being pulled off and everyone hadn't said a word. Wale came behind David patting his shoulder as he stood by the entrance of the door.
" I am sorry we did everything we could." He said softly. David watched as Emma went to the bed and grabbed Mary Margret's lifeless hand. Tears were rolling down her cheek and her whole world was falling. Finally she leaned up and kissed Mary Margret's cheek.
" I love you, Mama. " She whispered and a blast of light filled the air and suddenly Mary Margret woke up and smiled up at Emma. Emma gasped as she couldn't believe her eyes.
" I love you too, Emma. " Mary Margret said, her first words she told her daughter.
