Teenage versions of Emma and Regina appear in Storybrooke and to everyone's surprise the girls hit it off immediately... "We have to stop this, Emma. She can't fall in love with the younger you. She has to meet Daniel and fall in love with him - his death starts it all. Or otherwise, Regina won't grow up to cast the curse, Storybrooke won't exist... and Henry will never be born!"

AU – When Emma is 18 she is madly in love with Neal. Despite their youth, they think they're ready to have a family. Unfortunately, midway through the pregnancy she falls into a coma she doesn't wake from for five years. And when she does, she gets to meet her son for the first time, along with the woman who adopted him. No curse.
