(This is quite long so bear with me :L) So, here it is- the final chapter. Thank you for voting on my poll, and sorry for the technical difficulties at the beginning! :L This was the choice you voted for, but as I wrote chapters for all 3 outcomes, I'll post them as well as extras so if you want you can pretend one of them was the proper ending ;). I'd like to thank you all for your support through reviews and ideas. Especially people like Davis Family Fan, QuilleAnnie, Crowned Tiger and Sassiecassie 218 who've given me numerous reviews and ideas between them so a shout out to all of them! But, in particular I'd like to thank Roundabout of Red Roses. I know I've mentioned her before, but she deserves a second mention :P. I'd like to thank her for all her kindness and support throughout the process of this story. Thanks for bearing with me there. Just one last thing, even if this isn't the ending you wanted, wrote endings for all 3 outcomes so will post them as well (along with this babble and the one at the end too…) and you can pretend your favourite won anyway :P Now, without further delay, here is the final chapter…
"You're exactly who I needed to see. I know I've made the right decision." Emma said, finally feeling that everything was going to be ok. This was all she had ever really needed, her family. Her parents were standing hand in hand behind Henry, who still had his arms around her shoulders. Emma got up from the swing and bent down so she and her son were the same height before pulling him into a giant hug.
"I love you." She whispered into his ear. Emma felt him nod against her cheek.
"I know, I love you too." He whispered back. Emma heard footsteps coming closer to them, and then both her parents were kneeling on the ground with them, making it a group hug. Snow was on the side nearest Emma. She kissed Emma's forehead.
"We were so worried when you left," She told her. "We went straight round to Regina's and got Henry to help us look. He's always known you best; we knew he'd find you."
"If it wasn't for him finding me on my birthday last year, I never would have met you two." Emma locked eyes with her son.
"I owe him everything." Henry shook his head.
"No you don't. You're my mom. Besides, thanks to you I have a whole family now! Even my other mom." Snow gently tugged on Emma's shoulder so her daughter looked at her.
"Are you sure this is what you want? I don't want you hurting again." Emma nodded her head confidently.
"Very sure mom. She ruffled Henry's hair. "This is the only man in my life right now-"
"Hey!" Her dad shouted, a little offended. Everyone laughed.
"Ok, the only little man in my life right now, happy?" Emma said, going over to her dad. He smiled, stroking her cheek.
"Very, you can't get rid of me that easy! And if Henry is the little man in your life, you realise that makes you the little woman in both mine and your mother's, right?" Emma shrugged her shoulders.
"I can live with that." Snow's eyes were shining brighter than they ever had before, and David couldn't help but pick Emma up and twirl her round in the air. She had admitted she was their little woman, their baby. They were finally going to get to be proper parents without the threat of, well, anything. As her dad spun her around, Emma couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the pirate ship at the dock.
"Some day." She thought. She knew right now she had to focus on being both a mother and a daughter. She had parents who'd proven time and time again that they loved her unconditionally, and a son who was the light in all their lives. The boy who could see the good in anyone. For the first time in her life, Emma Swan was finally truly happy. She had everything she'd ever wanted or needed. And there wasn't anybody who could take the three people she loved away from her.
Well, that's this story ended. I hope you enjoyed. I can't thank you enough for your supportJ. I have another few stories just about ready for when I get back from London and the support I've been given from this story has given me the confidence to post them, so thank you. Until those stories are up, I'd love to hear from you, as I don't know many oncers! Until the next story, and thank you all again! :D
