The next morning Emma pads down to the kitchen. Snow is sitting at the counter drinking her coffee. Emma grabs a cup and sits down next to her. "Emma what happened last night with Neal?" snow asks taking a sip of her drink and looking at Emma. Emma shakes her head and sips her coffee. "Emma I'm your mother, I'm not going to judge you. I just want to help you if I can." Emma groans and sits her coffee down. "It's a little late for you to help with Neal. Eleven years ago when I went into that mistake would have been the time." Emma stands up leaving Snow sitting speechless "emma…" Emma turns around with a confused look on her face. "How did James get into my room last night?" "The fire escape" James states walking in with a towel wrapped around his waist and wet hair. Emma nods and goes up stairs to change. "Its like one step forward and two back." Snow sighs drinking her coffee. "Honey Emma has been a certain way for long, we can't expect her to change over night." James says finishing off Emma's coffee. Emma walks down the stairs a few moments later. "Are you going to put clothes on?" James laughs, "I don't know, it's my house." Emma shakes her head "actually its Mary…Snows house" Emma corrects herself. James kisses Snow while Emma grimaces and looks away. "Baby can I walk around like this?" Snow laughs, "that's just gross, I'm leaving." Emma walks over and picks up her empty coffee cup. Emma looks at Snow and throws her hand up "what's up with this?" Snow nods to James; Emma rolls her eyes and leaves the house.
A few days later Emma and Nicole set the table. "Chill out what's the worst that can happen?" Nicole smiles, there is a knock at the door and Emma gets it. "Caspian good to see you" Caspian smiles and walks into the house while James comes down the stairs. "Caspian these are our parents Snow and James." Caspian shakes James's hand while Emma goes to find Henry. Snow smiles, Emma referred to them as her parents. They were making lots of progress. "Put me down! Mom!" Emma comes into the room with Henry slung over her shoulder. Emma and Henry sit down at the table "so Caspian what do you do in this world?" James asks as Caspian swallows his food "I'm a musician." Snow smiles "that's cool" Nicole relaxes at the expectance of Caspian by her parents.
