Broken

A guest asked for a oneshot of *6x17 spoilers!* Snowing reuniting with Emma and bringing her to Storybrooke where she winds up breaking the curse. I've got a few versions of this to write, so bear with me as they all come through. I'll try, where possible, to keep it to one a batch :).

They knew they couldn't leave her there. That was their daughter. In the moment, they didn't particularly care about her destiny as the Saviour. What parent would? She was theirs, and they'd been separated from her for far too long. No, this ended now. She was coming home with them.

Of course, it was rather a shock to the system for Emma for a random door to appear in her room, let alone two random people spring through it and pull her back through. Was this some really vivid nightmare? No, apparently this was reality. Emma wasn't sure whether it was more of a dream or a nightmare when the strangers told her they were her parents. Where had they been for the last ten years? That hit her hard. It took her about a week to accept these strangers as her parents. Not that Snowing dared reveal their true identities. Not with Regina still skulking about. Emma had just assumed she was being mainly kept indoors in case social services came looking for her. Emma might still be finding it hard to adjust to this strange situation, but it was better than the group home. Emma might not yet understand why they had given her away, but she at least knew her parents really did love her. It was that very love that lead Emma to manage to complete her destiny many years before it was time. True love's kiss between two people is strong enough to break any curse. True love's kiss between three can defeat all odds. So when both Emma's parents felt it was ok to kiss Emma goodnight one evening together…they felt it. The blast of light that shot out from them. The strong pulse of air that surrounded them. Snow and Charming looked at each other. They had seen many curses broken before. They knew what this was. Emma, on the other hand, did not.

"What was that?" She asked. Snow and Charming looked at their daughter, smiling. Charming wrapped his arm snugly around her.

"That, Em, was the start of a new beginning."
