chapter 19- breaking deals, making deals
Emma walked up to Ashley. "Hello, I was passing by. I`m new to town. My name is Emma."
Ashley stopped sweeping and turned towards Emma. And Emma could see Ashley is pregnant just like Ella in the book.
"Emma you live with Mary Margent right." "Yes, She`s mine foster mum. "
"My step mum and step sisters are not here you want to come inside for a drink and a chat."
"ya, that be nice."
Emma followed Ashley into the house. Emma sat at the kitchen table as Ashley brought over two hot cocoa one with cinnamon.
Ashley gave Emma the one with cinnamon. "I have only met one person who likes cinnamon on hot cocoa."
"Same. How far along are you?" "Could be any day now, it`s just when the baby comes no one thinks I can do it."
"You should prove them wrong." "Maybe, so what`s your story?"
Emma told Ashley her story and it got Ashley thinking,
At Jefferson`s mansion, "She`s from oz and is very powerful and she is against her sister."
Evening outside Mr Gold`s pawnshop, Mr Gold is locking up and walking away from the shop when Ashley breaks in from the side door.
She passes two creepy dolls. She got to the back wall to a painting which had a safe in behind it.
"Ashley what are you doing?" Ashley turned around and saw Gold standing in front of her.
She picked up a something heavy and used it to hit him. Gold hit the ground and passed out.
Ashley took the key out of his pocket and opened the safe.
The next day, Emma is sitting at the kitchen table doing her homework. It`s a staff day so all the kids get the day off.
Mary Margent walked out of her room to Emma. "You sure you`re be fine, I won`t be long." "I`ve be fine, I am going to meet up with Grace."
There was a knock at the door. Mary Margent goes to open the door to Mr Gold.
"Miss Blanchard morning, is Miss Swan here?" "Yes, she here."
Gold walked over to the table.
" I have to get to school, you be alright Emma." "Ya, I`m be fine..
Mary Margent left and Gold sat at the table across from Emma. "I had a interesting evening last night, my shop was broken into and something was taken and I think you met her yesterday."
Emma make a face that both her parents have made. "That look I have seen on your parent`s face, what did you talk about with Ashley?" "Nothing."
"Fine, let`s see if you`re like your parents even more, I want you to find her for me."
"What do you mean like them more?" "They could find each other. I want you to find her."
Sometime later after talking to Rudy, Emma stood outside Herman`s house. She walked up to the door and knocked. A boy older than her answered the door. "Yes, can I help you?" "Yes, I`m Emma Swan . I am looking for Ashley."
"Sorry I haven`t seen her, we break up."
"Ashley in trouble and I met her yesterday and I wanted to help her."
"My son has nothing to do with that girl anymore." came a voice behind Emma.
"Sean get inside." "Dad maybe we should help." "Get inside and now you. I paied someone to find the child a go home."
"Gold, I grew up in the foster system and I didn`t care if my parents didn`t have money I just wanted them."
Really, would you like to live in the backseat on a car." Mr Herman walking into the house leaving Emma and Sean at the door.
"Sean it is your choose, Ashley is running away with the child." "Why do you care?"
I don`t know my parents but the way Ashley was talking yesterday, she wants to keep the child I wished my parents kept me."
Rudy told Emma where Ashley was going and stole a bike and cycled towards the town line passing Jefferson`s mansion is which Jefferson and David watched Emma go by through the window.
"I think you should follow her, something is telling me she is going to need help. Take my car."
Emma got to the town line and saw Rudy`s car crashed at the side. She got off the bike and runs to the car.
No one was in the car but she hears a scream just in front of the car. Emma runs to the scream and sees Ashley.
"The baby is coming."
"You need to get to a hospital." "No, I need to go to Boston." "No, you don`t have time."
Emma stands in the middle of the road trying to think of what to do when a car appears. Emma waves the car over and sees David in the driver seat.
"Emma do you need help?" "Yes, Ashley needs to go to the hospital. " "No, I need to go Boston."Ashley shouted.
Later at the hospital in the waiting room, Emma sat in a chair when David sat next to her. "What to tell me what you were doing helping Ashley."
I met her yesterday and something was telling me to help her and then Gold told me what she did and I had the same feeling. "
"I saw you go by and I had the same thing you had, I thought you might need help."
Just then the doctor came out. "How is everything?" "They are both and it`s a girl." the doctor left and Gold appeared. "That`s good to hear."
"I think I will be taking what is mine." "No, you can`t . "we have an agreement. And my agreements are always honoured. If not, I'm going to have to involve the police, and that baby is going to end up in the system, and that would be a pity. You didn't enjoy your time in the system, did you Emma
"What can I do for Ashley to do to keep her child?" " If you want Ashley to have that baby, are you willing to make a deal with me."
David wanted to stop Emma but before he could Emma said "fine, what do you want?"
"Oh I don't know just yet. You'll owe me a favour.
"Good, I will go and tell Ashley." Emma left leaving the others.
"she remains me of you." "Did you set this whole thing up?" "Why would I do that?"
"Because she is the savior and she made a deal with you."
"Maybe I was hoping she would take after her parents."
Just then Sean walked into the hospital and towards Ashley`s room.
"Looks who`s there, Emma is like her parents if you can get through to him."
In Ashley`s room. "Hi." "Hi, you`re back." "Ya, what`s her name.?" "Alexander." "I got her a present." He took out a pair of very small shoes and put them on Alexander.
I am thinking of doing a chapter where Emma meets Handel and Gretel.
