The first week went fast since Emma and Henry's arrival into Storybrooke. Her family was thrilled to have them in the residence and it was a complete one that Mary Margaret wanted for Christmas. On the other side, David was excited to have his oldest daughter to return back after ten years.

It was painful for the parents who suffered through without seeing Emma in their life for ten years beside raising Neal until his high school graduation. They were handful that Neal took over some responsibilities that David offered him to do his chores around the house and gave him a part-time job as a volunteer deputy around the town.

To them, they realized that their children grew up to be the adults and gave them a freedom to do whatever responsibilities they had in their careers. Firstly, Mary Margaret was impressed with Everett because he took himself to think harder since he married his young wife and caused him to realize that it was time to change his immature and grow up to be a man.


Next, Amy was having a hard time to pick the major that she desired to have a future career. For herself, she was indecisive on whether she loved to do something with the kids. Her first choice was to be a pediatrician; second choice was to be a teacher then her back-up plan was to be a children's author. Everything was in a mix that Amy really wanted to become a person with the kids she loved to do something fun and crafty.

At least but for Neal, he was well-known as a jack in a trade. His jobs were random as he volunteered to help the people. His personality was alike to Mary Margaret, his mother. He grew up to look up at Emma all the years until Emma left the town ten years ago after his high school graduation.

Of course, the rest of three children tried to do their best to contact with Emma but failed at any attempt because they didn't know that Emma changed her last name and included everything. Except that one was to announce that she has a ten years old son with his biological mother, Regina Mills aka Storybrooke Mayor.

They were disappointed in Emma because they tried to get her back like she used to visit Neal for his graduation. It was that last time they saw her in person.

So, that's why Mary Margaret and David were thrilled to have a family to be complete for Christmas but a bonus one was their grandson to be welcomed in their family.

But not for last one, they were very happy that Regina was a part of a family that Henry Jr. has for years. It was a long time for Emma to return where she came from and grew up in a childhood town she once loved.

Now, Mary Margaret and David were worried about Regina's parents because of the secret that Emma held away from them for a long time. It was a sacrifice to reveal what they didn't know about Regina's life since Henry Jr. barged in their life.


Speak of the devil. Emma appeared with a smile. Her son was following her like a baby duck waddling through the lake. They appeared with the smiles. Mary Margaret and David blinked several times then looked at each other and back to them again.

Emma and her son have same personality - outgoing and very bubbly. Henry was raised by herself in his whole life without his biological mother, Regina. There was no telling that Henry's a biological son related to the person Emma once fell in love for years. He had a facial recognition of Regina's strong facial features included his grandfather, Henry's namesake.

"Hello Grandparents!" Henry replied. Emma dug the breakfast plates for them to eat before leaving for meeting with Regina and her parents. At a last, Emma did meet them long time ago before Neal's graduation. She didn't see them when she came to visit Neal and everyone.

Cora and Henry Sr. was visiting Regina's oldest sister, Zelena in London. That's why Regina wanted to stay and see Emma and her family on that day of Neal's graduation.


Emma happily chatted with her parents while Henry was wrestling with his Uncle Neal on other table. Everett and Julie discussed about having them over for summer. Amy and Brad joined their conversation then informed them that they would get married in the summertime. It immediately got Emma, Mary Margaret and David's attention to the red headed woman who grinned. Last, Everett and Neal jumped on hugging their sister for the congratulations.

"We just got engaged last night with the engagement ring. Well, technically last year." Brad explained with a smile.

"I thought that you are both engaged already." Henry said.

"We are still engaged but kept a secret on the wedding things. I know my mother very well." Amy slowly glared at Mary Margaret. David laughed.

"It's about a damn time!" Neal shouted.

"Language!" They chorused and Henry started to giggle. Neal winked at him. Emma rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Are you going with Regina again today? Or have plans yet?"

"I have plans with Henry and Regina for her support to tell her parents later. She will pick us up soon by now."

"Am I going to see Regina today!?" Henry whipped his head with a grin.

"Yes, we're going with her and you will be formally introduced to Cora and Henry Sr. after lunch. I hope everything goes well." Emma explained with a hopeful expression.

"So, how was your first date with the mayor?" Amy questioned with a smirk. Everett slapped her arm with a glare. Julie and Brad rolled their eyes and smirked at the blonde actress. Henry kept giggling and glanced over at his mom.

"Not in front of Henry." The golden-haired superstar informed them with a glare at Amy.

"Come on!" Neal said with a frown. It affected Emma to squirm but she didn't feel like she wanted to discuss on her love life. She thought that her life was a worst one than her siblings' life more than ever. Mary Margaret was the one who wanted to know about her life before starting to date with Storybrooke's mayor.


For David, he didn't care about his children included his new grandson's love life. He knew how to be happy with someone they loved. It's important to witness on his children when they were in love with someone on their side. It was a perfect example for Amy and Brad even though for Everett and his young wife, Julie.

On their relationship, David could see their eyes when it came to love. Also, it's important to care about them whether it's genderless. He supported the law of same-sex marriage since he found out about his twin brother, James.

James was gay and living in Chicago with his long-time husband, Nigel. Nigel was an African-American man, became a firefighter for Chicago Fire department and adopted his son, Adam. Adam has an Autism in his age of twelve and he was Deaf too. He attended at Illinois School for the Deaf since he became an adopted son to Nigel before James married them few years ago. David was happy for them.


Emma and Henry finally left the residence to be picked up by Regina in front of the driveway. Mary Margaret watched them leaving until she heard David's voice. She didn't face her husband and kept silent until he finished his sentence.

"Are you concerned about Emma?"

"Well, I am right now but I don't know."

"Why didn't you know?"

"Because Mom messed up on the relationship with Emma since Neal's graduation." Amy spoke up before drinking her coffee. The rest of her siblings looked at her with their perplexed looks. David narrowed his eyebrows until he finally understood her sayings with a nod. Mary Margaret slumped her shoulders and sighed at same time until replying back to her young daughter.

"Yes. That's the one I am worrying about."

"I thought Emma forgave you already?" Neal asked.

"Yes, she did but I felt guilty because I didn't feel forgiven by her. Also, I wanted to release my guilty for her and Regina. I understand that Emma has a son that is related to Regina. Our Storybrooke Mayor."

"Honey, don't feel guiltier. I think you and Emma should discuss once more when she gets back from her small family errands." Julie explained with a small smile. Mary Margaret didn't look up at her but kept staring at her empty plate once she ate her breakfast. Brad and Everett looked at each other with a nod then spoke up at same time.

"We think that you should go out once more with the girls when Emma gets back from her reunion with the Mills family."

"I will call you when she returns." Neal added with a smile. Amy and Julie concurred with them with a smile. David was balancing his thinking but went with yes. Mary Margaret slumped once again with a frown. They felt bad for their mother and Emma.
