A/N: Now you have a new chapter right now! Enjoy it.
After a week of packing for Christmas, Emma was nuts on Christmas shopping around in Los Angeles mall. She was being seen by the cameras, fans and everything. The blonde woman never thought of that when it came to her family's favorites or wants for Christmas. She was completely lost on everyone's wishes and decided to do her best to pick the right choice for her family's Christmas gifts.
Now, she had three huge suitcases included her surprise. It was not her biggest surprise that she was shocked within ten years ago after her big move to Los Angeles to pursue her career. At this time, she had her own jet so she could fly quickly to Storybrooke, Maine on one way. Emma sat for hours and hours to arrive there.
Her memories brought herself into her old days when she was growing up and playing with her siblings. It warmed her up when her smile was brightening that day. She remembered herself being tagging along with her father on the sheriff's cruiser and grew up watching television. That's how she desired to pursue the acting.
Emma dumped herself to load her suitcases in her rented Range Rover SUV and drove away from the airport to her family's mansion which was left off from the town of Storybrooke. The golden-haired actress looked over at her surprise and went relieved that she had some silence on her road trip.
After thirty minutes later, she finally entered on the Main Street and looked out on the window. Those buildings never changed at all since she left town. Some people were looking at her with their strange look. Some whispered when they saw her. Emma looked over on the crossroad and saw a familiar person from ten years ago.
Across from the sidewalk on the Main Street, the brunette woman in her business suit was looking through the store window. Her hair was beautiful short but rarely touched her shoulders. Her olive skin was shining through the snowflakes. She traded her contact lenses and used the glasses before when she was younger. Right now, she was more gorgeous ever than Emma had ever seen her on her last time. It was Regina Mills, a well-known daughter of Cora Mills and Henry Mills who always hosted the annual Christmas party and invited everyone to come there.
Emma passed her through and turned left then drove away on the gravel road. She thought of her times with Regina. The memories of hers were bringing her an ache of broken heart. The golden-haired woman felt stupid to not tell Regina that she came to say goodbye to her. They grew up together to have sleepover, parties and doing everything together since they were little until the college days, they fell apart after Emma's departure of the town. It was basically that they were more than just best friends.
Finally, she arrived on the driveway and looked out at the colonial style mansion with a tower on the left side. It has been not changed since she left town. It affected her to have a frown on her face. The blonde actress sighed and gathered her surprise with her three suitcases. Emma noticed that the driveway had four cars beside her rented ride. She realized that her siblings were in town to stay over for the holidays.
Emma silently came in the foyer and gathered her suitcases in the hallway. She looked over at the foyer and there were a lot of Christmas festive. It affected her to realize that she was home for Christmas like these old days. She smiled and gathered her surprise after hooking her coat in the closet. The golden-haired woman heard her family laughing and chattering in the family room which it was the end of hallway from the front door on the left side.
Her footsteps guided herself and her surprise to see them. Neal, Amy, Everett, Mary Margaret and David included Everett's wife, Amy's boyfriend were there everywhere on the couch and kitchen chairs. Emma stood there in the doorway and watched her family gathering their laughs after swapping their stories.
The blonde actress hid her surprise away from her which it was behind the tree that was placed near the doorway and cleared her throat. Others looked up at her and changed their bewildered looks. Mary Margaret slowly covered her hand on her mouth. Amy and Everett widened their eyes. Neal blinked several times. David slowly got up and went behind his wife's back. Emma smiled at them with a tear on her cheek and replied.
"I'm home."
Mary Margaret started to cry before running to hug her oldest daughter. Neal got up with a smile. David ran his hand on his face. Emma closed her eyes while embracing her mother in her arms. Everett shook his head and looked at Amy who was still bewildering with a reply.
"Emma is home."
David was the second person who hugged her tightly. The blonde woman was giggling at her father's hug and missed it so much. Neal literally jumped to embrace her after him. Amy and Everett welcomed her into their arms with a lot of kiss on her face. Emma tried to squirm away from them and introduced herself to Everett's wife, Julie and Amy's boyfriend, Brad. Others sat down and looked at the blonde actress who was still standing there by the doorway.
Emma sighed and wiped her tears on her face with a laugh. Mary Margaret snuggled with her husband with a smile. She looked at her parents with a smile then fidgeted with her sweater which she put it when she was at the airport before renting her ride. They waited for Emma to sit down beside them. The golden haired woman scratched her blonde locks and continued.
"I'm home for the holidays. Before I start to apologize for my absences from few years, I want to bring my surprise to you. But it would be your shocking news from me. Please bear with me at this time."
"Sure" and "what's it" are commented by others. She looked at them with her concerned look and looked behind her back then gestured her surprise to come with her. Her surprise was the brown-haired with green-eyed boy came from the hallway and stood behind his mom's front. He flashed his smile at everyone and waved his hand to greet them with hello. Emma looked up at her family and spoke lightly.
"This is Henry Swan, my biological son."
