Chapter 34:
"Mom?" Emma opened the bedroom's door slowly. She found Snow wide awake and by her side an exhausted James. She was running her fingers trough his hair like she used to do when he couldn't sleep. "Hey"
"Emma" Snow reached for her with her free hand "Sit" Emma did as she was told siting carefully next to Snow's feet "Is everything okay?"
Emma swallowed hard "Yeah...I just... well.. I know the end of the world might happen soon but..."
"Sweatheart" Snow said calmly "Spill now"
"I kissed August" Emma confesed. The grin on her mother's face was wide "More like we made out..."
"Oh!" Snow gasped covering her mouth as James stirred "Emma that is wonderful... took you kids long enough!" Snow' face turned serious as she looked down at her husband "Best not tell your father for now... He handled himself wonderfully when Pinocchio told us what had happened..."
"He is going to flip out isn't he?" Emma said sweetly looking at James "And kick August..."
"Might even ground you!" Snow chuckled winning a smile from Emma "What?"
"It's nice to see you smile again" Emma pointed out. The door opened slowly revealing Henry "Hey kid"
"Umm... hey" Henry said tiredly "I was wondering.. where I was going to sleep?" The innocence of the question made Emma and Snow look at each other...sometimes they forgot Henry was merely a 10 year old boy.
"Right here" Snow said pointing the bed "If that's okay with you?"
"Sure.." Henry said quietly "But I don't want to wake Grandpa up"
"Here" Emma pointed at the small space she had made for him to seat "I think you'll be fine kid"
"Okay" Henry cuddled next to Snow as she made her best effort to fit him in the bed "Are you sure?"
"There is always my room" Emma said with a smile "But.." Henry had become victim of Snow's soft touch as well as he was too tired to move when Emma suggested it would be better if he stayed with her.
"It's alright" Snow said "I love having them close" Emma knew what she meant "We'll be okay"
"Okay" Emma squeezed Snow's hand hard "Good night..."
"Emma?" Snow inquired before Emma could close the door "How did you even manage to.. fit them all?"
"Not all" Emma told her "The dwarfs are all scattered around the living room and Ruby... she also stayed behind.. Sean and Ashley went home... because of Alexandra.. but I gave them one of the walkies in case there is trouble..."
"I don't want them to be alone out there" Snow said biting her lip "I am afraid of what she might do.."
"Yeah" Emma said "But... I guess they just figured it was best if they took turns...its fine"
Emma opened her eyes and moved to her side. August was sitting on the bed looking out the window "Hey, are you okay?"
"Sure" He said in a an empty tone "I was just thinking..."
"About Regina.." Emma countered but August chuckled.
"No..."August said worriedly "Your father actually..."
"My... why?" Emma asked amused "Are you scared of him?" August smirked "You are joking!"
"Nope" August smiled picking up a blanket from the floor and tossing it to the bed "First and foremost he is your dad and I am the guy who..."
"I don't hear anything" Emma said interrupting him "That's too wieird" They remained quiet for a second and then decided to go take a look, August got dressed and Emma put on a jersey.
"Look who decided to join us!" Grumpy spat as they reached the kitchen almost making Emma fall backwards "Nice of you to show princess" Emma turned red and glanced at August who chuckled at her face. Snow, Red, Henry and the miners were all gathered around... except...
"Where is.." Emma began sighing at the idea that James had no idea she had come down the stairs with August.. meaning he had stayed with her overnight.
"I knew it!" Emma jumped to her feet as James's voice rang into her ears. Snow gave her husband a disappointing look "Good morning" He sad rolling his eyes at August.
"Hey dad.." Emma looked at Snow for support but she only shrugged and joined them on the now extended kitchen table.
"August..." James said warningly making the former stranger freeze. August bowed and sat next to Emma. Silence filled the room for a, moment "Snow.." James didn't sit and helped his wife back to her chair "You sit, I don't want you to do anything...it is enough with us having so many people in house.."
"Relax Charming" Snow said kissing his lips quickly as she flipped the pancakes, I am pregnant not ill" Grumpy let out a groan and Red chuckled. James rolled his eyes.
"Same old James" Red said sweetly.
"Who are you calling old?" James asked hurt "If I do recall you are almost as old as me"
Red remained quiet. Emma looked at August and then at Red who shrugged when she asked her what was wrong.
"You don't wanna ask" Henry whispered as James placed a pancake on Emma's plate and practically smashed one on August's
"Is there something wrong?" Emma hissed at James "Did someone die?"
"Someone might" James said piercing August and Snow who had now also taken a seat hit his arm making him roll his eyes.
"God!" Emma snapped at her father "We... nothing happened!" Henry gave her a confused look and the others held their breaths "Are you happy?"
"Not quite" James said after a moment "Talk about eye rape, I supouse you are back to talking to us" Emma rolled her eyes and looked at August who was rigid next to her.
"I liked you better yesterday" Emma said and instantly regretted her words. Henry nudged her arm and Snow gave her a reproachful look.
"I think we best start with our watching" Grumpy said clearing his throat "Come on, and thanks for breakfast" Snow smiled as her friends left the table. Red stayed put and nobody moved until they heard the door behind them.
"I..." Red said "Ruby best show up at Granny's" Snow smiled and Henry relaxed a bit "Anything happens... You call me"
"Okay" Snow said as Red copied her friend's actions and after a moment she was also gone.
"You have that not so charming look on your face" Snow sat on the couch with James "She is grown woman James"
"Yes" James said not looking at her "But she also lives with me so there are some rules that should be respected... for Henry's sake"
"Right" Snow said touching his cheek "For Henry"
"She must be responsible, that's all I have to say" James said looking at Emma who was talking with Henry and August "She's a mother"
"And you her dad" Snow said sweetly "But that boy makes her happy... so you must be happy for her"
"You want to bet?" James asked annoyed "I...She is my baby girl Snow"
"I know that" She kissed his cheek rubbing with her thumb the scar on his chin "And that is never going to change"
"It might" James sighed "Once all of this is over... I am afraid"
"I know..." Snow leaned her head on his shoulder and he placed a hand on her belly "It will be alright.."
"No" James said once more "Henry found something in the book" Snow pulled away to look at him "The book says how the curse will be broken"
"No it doesn't" Snow said quickly "We'd have found it by now..."
"The new version does" James said bitterly "The one he changed" August's eyes locked with James's. The pain in the prince's eyes was more than he could bear and pulled his sight away.. the mere thought of losing Emma... his baby girl was more than enough to shatter his heart in a million pieces.
Hours before-
"Good morning Grandpa" James rolled to his side on the bed only to find Henry sitting reading the book "Are you feeling better?"
"Henry?" James asked drowsily "You... where is Snow?"
"Making breakfast" Henry bit his lip "Grandpa..."
"Yes Henry?" The prince smiled sweetly. Henry's face was sad. "Are you alright?"
"Not really" Henry said "I don't want to worry Grandma, cause she is pregnant and all of that... but I think I might have found something in the book"
"Really?" James asked "What?"
"The fastest way the curse will be broken" Henry said losing his voice "But it can't be" James could sense the fear in his voice.
"What cant be Henry?" James asked frustrated "What must we do?" But Henry remained quiet as he could read his same expression invading his Grandfather''s eyes... They knew what had to be done... the savoir had to die so they could all be happy... but how was James going to be happy... Fate was too much of a cruel game...
