Emma put on her red leather jacket, blue jeans and brown boots. She fixed her hair up into a tight ponytail and applied a slight amount of makeup on her face to cover the dark circles underneath her eyes. She looked at herself in the mirror and shrugged her shoulders sighting in desperation.

She missed that woman... Regina Mills would be the end of her. She spent the entire night awake drinking her favourite kind beer while trying to convince herself that turning Regina in is the smartest choice. That woman almost got them all killed because of her inability to say the truth but at the same time emma knew it was just a naive action.

She was mad. Although she tried to forgive the brunette she kept recalling all the moments in the past that made her and her family suffer and that was the main reason why she was boiling mad. Or was that the main reason? To be honest... losing Regina and the feelings they had for each other was what hurt her the most. She was confused... she was confused and blinded by her broken heart and the constant pain she felt inside.

Henry was at school so thank the god she wouldn't have to explain at Henry what she was planning to do... sadly her encounter with Killian didn't help her figure out the secret Regina was supposed to be keeping. Something had happened... everyone knew except her! And that was what was driving her insane... that was the main reason again why she was doubting her actions.

She grabbed her car keys and a cup of hot black coffee and jumped in her yellow bug to start her trip to Manchester. She knew that her parents lived there and to be honest she felt quite guilty for not contacting them at all after everything that happened in Paris. They would streaky have plenty of questions for her to answer and they would be mad... they helped her and she didn't even say thank you!

She was way too caught up into the shit going on her life to realise how much these people supported her and adored her. She wanted to reunite with her family. She missed the feeling of being loved and accepted no matter what. She owed them the world considering what they did for her. Plus... she really needed Snow's and David's help. They were probably the kind of people she needed the most to help her with the upcoming trail tomorrow.

She started the engine of her car and drove for an hour till she reached the neighbourhood that her parents lived. It seemed like a quiet and safe place for them to build a house that feels like home. She parked the car right outside of the white mansion David and Snow owned and forced a smile. Her heart was beating faster and faster as she walked out of the car and prepared herself for the big reunion.

She cracked her knuckles awkwardly and took a deep breath as she knocked on the door and waited. Silence. No footsteps approaching the front door, no voices speaking... just silence. She knocked on the door again and crossed her hands underneath her breasts looking down at her muddy shoes.

A couple of seconds later the wooden door opened for her to see a five year old boy staring at her with his big green eyes. She smiled gently as she kneeled down extending her hand towards him slowly in order not to frighten him. She recognised him right away though, even though he had no idea who she was. Of course he didn't... he was just a baby when storybrooke got destroyed and all citizens were scattered all over the United States.

He frowned as he examined her face and extended his tiny hand towards Emma for a high five.

"What's up kiddo?"

She smiled awkwardly before she heard Snow'a voice echoing in the house.

"Neal what on earth? How many times have I told you not to open the door without me or dad being present?"

The little boy turned around to look at his mother in confusion. Snow raised her sight to look at the tall woman standing at their daughter when a huge smile spread all over her face making her cheeks blush!

"Emma!"

She chirped as she run towards the blond woman happily to pull her closer for a tight embrace. Emma did not hesitate at all! She pulled her mother for a tight embrace as she encircled her hands around Snow's waist.

"What a wonderful surprise!"

Snow continue as she run her fingers through Emma's golden curls still not letting go off her. David approached them as well looking quite astonished.

"Emma?"

He raised his eyebrow as he held Neal closer to him.

"I know... long time no see again."

The blond woman forced a smile as she walked in the house looking around the area amazed. The house looked similar to the house Snow and David shared in storybrooke. The front yard was filled up with tulips and roses, plus a fountain in the middle of it that made it feel a lot like home. There was also a red swing across the fountain that was probably built for little Neal to play.

Not to mention that snow had made sure to add her signature by adding colourful bird house hanging from the wooden ceiling outside the yard. It was beautiful! It felt a lot like storybrooke... for a moment emma thought that everything went back to normal... but no!

"Neal do you remember emma?"

Snow asked the playful toddler who was currently trying to eat his shoe.

"Of course he doesn't mum! He hasn't seen me for years... hello there little guy... I'm your big sister!"

She smiled warmly as the little boy looked at her quite amused and giggled. The former sheriff was trying her best to hide the fact that she felt way too overwhelmed to see all these familiar faces.

"How come you visited?"

David asked firmly being distant as he crossed his hands underneath his beefy chest.

"I.. I felt stupid not to visit you after what you guys did to me. I wanna thank you guys for what you did for me at Paris. It was very brave and kind for you..."

"But still you didn't even call us for six months!"

David added and sighted!

"David let her finish!"

Snow scolded him as she placed Neal up on her hip and wiped some chocolate off his sticky fingers.

Emma swallowed hard looking evidently guilty as she sat across David with her legs crossed.

"I know you feel like I forgot you guys... but I was just going through a weird phase. I mean.. so many things changed while I was in Paris. All of a sudden i got a divorce, my husband betrayed me and turned out to be a fucking psycho..."

"Emma language!"

Snow scolded again.

"I'm sorry... and then Regina... well... things are not working out between us at all."

She finished her sentence and cleared her dry throat embarrassed.

"What about you and Regina?"

Snow asked and chirped again with her annoyingly happy and over excited voice.

"Well... you know... she almost got us all killed again because of her selfish character! This time Henry almost died because of her and I can't foresee that that easily."

She admitted.

"I bet she didn't do it on purpose though.. she looked changed emma and pretty determined to help!"

Snow protested glancing over David who was currently silent.

"Hey kiddo why don't you go play upstairs? Mummy and daddy need to talk about something important with your sister here."

Neal just nodded his head and run upstairs like a thunder.

"I can't just forgive her... she had many chances to prove me that she's changed but... I can clearly see that she's not willing to kill us all or cast another curse but her guilts and actions led us to disaster."

"Haven't you tried to talk about that and try solving the whole thing out?"

Emma bit her lips obviously ashamed.

"Well she tried to approach me but I guess... bad timing!"

"What about Henry? Don't you think he deserves to see his mother?"

David interrupted with his question.

"Henry.. he's certainly mad and sad because of her at the same time. He has the same mixed up feelings with me."

"But still... she's his mother!"

"That's what I wanted to talk about you guys..."

She lowered her voice and looked at the floor again playing with her fingers neurotically. She had no idea how to ask such a big favour from them especially when her mother was not the kind of person who bear any grudges for anyone.

"What do you mean?"

Snow asked and handed emma a cup of tea listening at her daughter carefully.

"Well... I want the full custody of Henry, considering that I don't trust that woman around my kid anymore. I find her extremely immature and dangerous... so... I'm gonna have to ask you guys to testify against her at court tomorrow!"

She said it. She finally said it. Felt like losing 20 pounds at once as soon as she got it out of her chest. David furrowed at Emma's announcement and snow was about to protest when David spoke.

"Testify against her? How?"

"I just need you to say a couple of things she did to you... in order you know.. we win. I thought you are the best people for the job."

"Emma... I don't think I can just do such thing at Regina when I watched her try so hard to get closer with Henry. She's not the bitch she used to be... you need to relax honey and process things more carefully before you just decide to ruin a family."

"Can you just do it for me?"

She almost snapped and looked away embarrassed again. Her guilts were growing bigger... what Killian and gold said made her even more confused... one day before the trail and Emma was going crazy.

Snow hesitated to ask until she looked inside Emma's eyes. She was desperate... not desperate for her mother to agree... she was desperate for someone to guide her through the chaos. She definitely did not want to hurt Regina that bad... she was just in pain... in way too much pain that did not let her think clearly.

"I'm gonna try my best."

Snow admitted and David just shook his head as a sign of agreement. Emma smirked.

"Thank you mum! I appreciate that... really."

Snow forced a smile although she was getting worried sick slowly but decided to show that. She just sat down next to emma and pulled her closer for a hug.

"Always. That's why family is for..."

-Regina's side-

She wasn't able to sleep tonight. Her guilts were driving her crazy. She wouldn't even dare close her eyes anymore. Every time she closed her eyes she could see Emma's and Henry's faces... that made her heart ache. The fact that she was gonna see them both tonight in that court house made her body tense.

She twisted on the bed seeking for a more comfortable position on the soft mattress as she arched her back in discomfort.

As she extended her hand to touch the pillow next to her she felt another human body laying there. Her eyes widened open as she turned around to find Barbara laying next to her with a frown on her face.

"Can't sleep huh?"

She asked with her Smokey voice.

"Isn't it obvious?"

She rolled her eyes annoyed and sighted.

"The baby won't shut up... my mind won't shut up... everything is just a chaos right now. I'm so tired Barbara."

She whined and grabbed a pillow pressing it against her face.

"Hey... what's up with all that misery?"

Barbara turned on her side to see Regina's face clearer and forced a sympathetic smile on her face as she stared at her friend.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Look at me! Look at my life Barbara! I don't even understand the reason why I gotta show up tomorrow at that trail. I'm losing my rights on Henry anyway!" She rolled her eyes and run her fingers through blouse rubbing the soft skin of her swollen and well rounded stomach trying to sooth the kicks.

"Hey! Queens never give up dear!"

"Enough with the labels Barbara! I'm only human and I'm allowed to have my days and give up sometimes... I'm tired of fighting for an already lost battle. Sometimes it's good to realise a lost cause before even trying."

Barbara forced a smile as she held Regina's chin up making her look at her.

"Hey hey... I believe in you you hear me? And I'm gonna stand up for you no matter what! You can't just say that you failed before even trying girl! Just have faith and give yourself a chance!"

Regina lowered her sight as she smiled shyly and held Barbara's hand.

"Now sleep tight okay?"

She run her fingers through Regina's hair smiling broadly.

The brunette woman just nodded and turned around hugging her pregnancy pillow getting ready for sleep... it was a big day tomorrow!
