Violet stood beside Ruby as she called the bar tender over, before she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Caspar, one of the two guys that Ruby had introduced her to before, he had the dark hair. Noah, the lighter haired guy was gathering a few chairs for them.

"So, Violet. What's Regina like as a mother? I bet she's pretty harsh on you." Caspar asked, Violet unaware of the sultry look he was giving her.

Violet discreetly rolled her eyes, and looked over her shoulder at Caspar.

"No, not really." She said bluntly, before turning back round.

"Why don't you go and sit down girls? I'll get us some drinks." Caspar suggested, giving Violet's shoulder a gentle squeeze. Violet slunk away from Caspar's touch, it made her skin tingle before she grasped Ruby's hand and followed her.

Violet's lips were parted as she stuck close to Ruby.

"You alright Vi?" Ruby asked, turning curiously to see Violet and her crimson cheeks.

"Yeah, yeah.. I'm fine." Violet replied quickly, sitting down.

"What do you think of Caspar?" Ruby asked teasingly, as she sat opposite Violet and looked back at Caspar.

Violet bit her lip, and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, shyly.

"Um, he seems nice.. how old is he?"

"He's 21, and he's looking at you." Ruby giggled as she watched Caspar's gaze fixed on Violet.

Violet considered the idea that Caspar may like her, and it made her cheeks flush a deeper colour.

"Aren't you going to turn around?" Ruby asked.

"How old is Noah?" Violet asked, avoiding the question.

"He's 24.. Vi, have you never had a boyfriend?" Ruby asked, slightly stunned.

Violet looked around, conscious of who was near before shaking her head.

"What?! Oh come on, seriously? But you're gorgeous!"

"Never. Anyway, boyfriend? I met him fifteen minutes ago."

"Well, he definitely likes you Vi."


"Henry, Violet is your sister." Regina revealed, looking down at him hopefully whilst Emma bit her lip.

Henry took a moment to process what his mother had just said before he looked across at Emma.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Henry asked seriously.

"We thought it might be too much for you to handle straight away, baring in mind it was almost too much for your mother and me." Emma said honestly.

"Does she know?" Henry asked, turning to Regina.

"She does now, yes." Regina nodded.

A gentle smirk started to appear from the corner of Henry's mouth.

"She looks like you."

Emma and Regina both laughed happily, relieved that Henry was being so mature about this. Emma ruffled his hair, proud of her son.

"Why wasn't she with you before? Us.." Henry asked Regina.

Regina had been preparing herself for this question, but it still hurt her heart to answer her son as her eyes glazed over.

"She was taken away from me Henry."

Henry frowned, mainly from confusion.

"But you found her again!" Henry said cheerfully, not wanting to upset his mother.

"She found me." Regina corrected her son gently, smiling at him, then at Emma who instantly reciprocated the comfort.


"What's that?" Violet asked, looking down at the drink that Caspar had just put in-front of her.

"It's Cranberry juice, you like it right?" Caspar replied, sitting next to Ruby so Violet was in his line of sight.

Cranberry juice… and vodka.

Violet offered him a friendly, nervous smile as she picked up the glass and took a sip. "Thank you."


It had been a good evening, Henry now knew that Violet was his sister and he was happy about it. Straight after their conversation Regina excused herself before Emma caught her silently crying in the hallway. Emma felt relief for both of them, she was so happy for Regina, for their family. Emma watched as Regina walked a tired Henry up to his room, Emma was surprised that Regina had allowed Henry to be up so late, regardless of the circumstances. Then her mobile rang.

"Hello, Sheriff Swan!" Emma answered officially.

"Hello Sheriff, would you be able to come down and take Mayor Mills' daughter home?" Collins, the bar manager stated clearly over the music in the bar.

"Violet is in the bar?!" Emma exclaimed, stunned before she quickly slapped her own forehead, hoping Regina hadn't heard her outburst.

Emma grabbed her coat and headed out of the house before continuing. "What is she doing?"

"Well she is clearly under the influence and she is under-age."

"I don't believe it. Is Ruby still with her?"

"Yes, yes."

"You let her drink?"

"No, I wasn't aware of her presence until a few minutes ago. I was attending to business."

"Has anything happened?"

"Not that I am aware of, but like I said, she needs to be taken home."

"Yes, I am on my way. Keep an eye on her will you?"

"You're the Sheriff."

"Cheers Collins!"

Emma shoved her mobile into her the back pocket of her jeans and hot footed it down town.


Violet, Ruby, Caspar and Noah had pretty much ran out of conversation over the couple of hours that they'd spent around the table, drinking. Ruby was pretty pleased that she hadn't had to buy a round of drinks so far, she remained oblivious to Violet's drunken state as she herself had reluctantly drank too many.

"Come on Vi, you like me, I can tell." Caspar said, grinning before his hand slid up Violet's bare thigh.

"Don't Caspar, just don't." Violet warned, shoving his hand off with a flick of her leg before hiccuping. She felt ever so odd, she looked over at Ruby who was engrossed in conversation with a girl named Ashley.

She felt Caspar move closer to her, and his hand slithered round the front of her waist. Violet glared at him as he refused to respect her, although her fiery look only seemed to turn him on regardless of whether he was also rather drunk. "You're so damn sexy when you do that.."

"I mean it Caspar, leave me alone." Violet said, picking up her drink and finishing it off.

"Don't be like your mother, just have a little fun." Caspar laughed before over-confidently kissing Violet hard on the lips.

Violet felt angry, and slightly out of control, she pushed hard against Caspar's chest and sent him flying over the table and he landed on his back, on the floor in the middle of the bar. Violet stood up with surprising ease as the crowd gasped, she walked over to Caspar with a predatory look across her face before she straddled him.

Ruby and Ashley were frozen, forced to watch how this played out. A few looks of shock, a couple of wolf whistles and giggles from other drunken residents echoed through the bar as Caspar smirked up at Violet who held him down firmly by his chest.

"Don't you dare talk about my mother like that, ever." Violet said sternly, but only loud enough for him to hear.

Caspar revelled in Violet's sudden change in temperament and held onto her hips just as Emma walked into the bar.

Emma's eyes widened, jesus.. what was she doing?!

Emma quickly walked over to Violet and pulled her up harshly by her upper arm, Violet acknowledged that it was Emma and didn't argue when she was dragged out of the bar. Emma threw an apologetic nod at Collins as they left.

"What the hell do you think you were doing?" Emma questioned Violet, finding it hard to get her head round what she just walked into.

Violet shrugged, her eyes flickering a little as her head started to spin.

"Why have you been drinking?! Violet, you're not old enough. How could you be so irresponsible? It's not like you at all!" Emma continued, running her hands through her hair. If Regina finds out about this…

"-And what were you doing with Caspar? I'll be having serious words with him in the morning, and Ruby for that matter. She was supposed to looking after you, not getting you drunk!"

Violet stared blankly at Emma as she shouted at her, unable to process a lot of it due to the awful feeling in her stomach and the blurred reality caused by her excess drinking.

Emma sighed as she looked at Violet, maybe Violet hadn't intentionally drank alcohol, Emma didn't ask, not that Violet would be capable of giving her decent answer. Emma put her arm round Violet's waist and guided her down the street.

"You're mother's not going to be happy."
