The next morning Emma rolls out of bed, looking at Nicole she's laughs quietly to herself. Emma changes and heads down stairs to the kitchen where Henry, Riley and their grandparents sit. "Morning" the kids exclaim "morning" Emma mutters back as she grabs her coffee. She takes a sip as Nicole walks down the stairs. If looks could kill Emma would be dead. "Emma is this funny to you?" Nicole asks pointing to the black mustache drawn on her upper lip. Emma shakes her head innocently "what are you talking about?" Nicole stumps over to her "I. Am. Going. To. Kill. You." Nicole says pronouncing each word. "Why does it seem like those are the only words spoken in our house?" James whispers to Snow "I don't know what your talking about?" Emma says innocently "Agh!" Nicole jumps at Emma but she moves. Emma runs out the door slamming it behind her. Nicole screams and runs up stairs. Henry begins to chuckle but a look from James stops him.
A minute later Emma runs back in. "I forgot I'm taking Riley to start school today." Emma picks up Riley's backpack off the floor and takes Riley in her arms. She kisses Henrys head "Emma what about your sister?" Snow asks trying to look upset with Emma. "Tell her its washable marker right before she leaves," she whispers to Henry before running out of the apartment as Nicole descends the stairs.
Emma took Riley to the school and met her teachers with her. After about twenty minutes she pried the little girl off of her. "I will pick you up after school" Riley's lip quivers slightly. Emma pulls her into a hug "I will be back baby…I'm not going to leave you." Riley nods slowly and Emma wipes away her tears before kissing her head. Emma slowly leaves the schoolhouse and walks down to the station. Emma enters the station and all of the lights are off. A hand wraps around her mouth silencing a scream. Graham flips on the light and removes his hand. Emma spins around and hits him "you scared me!" He chuckles before pulling her close and kissing her. "Forgive me yet?" Emma frowns at him "apparently not, I will have to try harder." He kisses her again and this time when he pulls away she smiles.
Graham and Emma walk into the apartment laughing and holding hands. "Hey anybody home?" Emma calls putting her bag down and sitting on the couch. "Apparently not" she pulls Graham down next to her. They sit there just enjoying being near each other. After a while the front door opens and Henry walks in. he throws his backpack down and walks into the kitchen. "Hey kid you're supposed to be at Regina's" Emma calls from the couch. Henry turns around with a carton of orange juice attached to his mouth. "Oh man!" he puts the carton back in the fridge and runs into the living room. "Don't let Mary…Snow see you do that" he blushes slightly and picks up his bag. "I have to go! I'll see you Monday" Henry bends over and hugs her before shaking grahams hand and running out of the apartment. "Now where were we?" Emma leans back smiling "don't you have another kid?" Graham asks as Emma's eyes get wide with realization. "Oh Crap!" she jumps up and grabs her purse leaving Graham alone on the couch.
Emma gets Riley from school and returns home. Riley swings open the door and bounds into the apartment. Emma looks around and sees James with a sledgehammer beating down a part of the brick wall. "Holy…" Snow shakes her head at Emma. "What are you doing?" Jams stops and looks over at her "making the apartment bigger." He says casually before continuing to beat the wall. "You can't go around beating walls." James stops and smiles "no one lives in that apartment and the town was more then happy to give it to their royal family." Emma shakes her head "there must be a better way then braking down the wall… but what ever." Emma shrugs and goes into the kitchen for a drink. A little while later Nicole comes in. "what the…" she sees snow and stops. "James is expanding the apartment." Emma says from the couch where she is txting. Nicole nods slowly and heads up stairs.
