I will bring you home
Inlovewiththecharmings asked for a oneshot of Mary Margaret ending up fostering a 10 year old Emma after August brings her to Storybrooke. Regina finds out and arranges for social services to remove Emma. As Emma is taken away kicking and screaming, a devastated Mary Margaret reassures her she'll do everything in her power to bring her home again.
"Stop it! Mary Margaret!" Emma screamed, thrashing at the women who was trying to remove her from the apartment she now called home. Mary Margaret desperately wanted to grab hold of the little girl and tell them all to fuck off, that Emma was hers forever, but she couldn't. When Mary Margaret agreed to become a foster parent to fill the empty hole that teaching left vacant, she never dreamed that her first charge would fill the void so quickly. Emma made her feel like a mother instantly. The two just clicked. Now thanks to that busy body of a mayor this poor child was being dragged back into a system that had been so cruel to her for over a decade. Just now when Emma thought she'd finally caught a break, she was being ripped away.
Mary Margaret kept her distance as social services tried to remove Emma. At least until the investigation on the allegations against Mary Margaret were complete.
"Emma, sweetheart, I need you to try and trust me." Mary Margaret said calmly, although her heart was breaking. "I need you to go with these people just now. No matter what happens, I will do everything in my power to bring you home again. I give you my word." The school teacher promised her. Emma looked at her through tear-blurred vision. For the first time in her life, Emma believed the person responsible for her care. She believed that Mary Margaret would fight for her. So she stopped fighting the social worker and allowed them to place her in the back of a car and away from the first place she'd ever called home.
