Mary Margaret came in her oldest daughter's room and found her lying on the bed. She looked up on the ceiling fan and back to Emma's blank face. She looked around to find a chair but decided to get on the desk chair which it was closer to the door. She sighed and waited. Emma didn't hear her mother coming in her room or see her either but focused on her memory lane. The pixie cut woman cleared her throat and spoke lightly.
"Emma, what's going in your head?"
"Jeez! You scared me." The blonde diva shot up when she saw her mother smiling at her. They stayed silent for few minutes. Mary Margaret cleaned her lint on her winter pants that her husband got her for last Christmas. She took a glimpse at her daughter who was looking at her hands for a while and complied.
"Emma?"
"I was thinking about my old days."
"You had a lot of old days in the past and which was one?"
"Goth Days." Emma looked up at her with a smirk. The pixie cut woman rolled her eyes and retorted with a scoff. It caused them to laugh.
"My Lord, you scared me to the death. You looked Taylor Momsen. Did you know that?"
"Yes, many times you told me. I'm sorry about scaring you off." The blonde diva chuckled with a statement. It left them laughing on her worst day as a gothic teenager. Mary Margaret shook her head and asked with a curiosity.
"But it's allright. So, what's else you need to tell me?" It halted Emma to look at her mom and went into her thoughts about Regina. She fiddled her fingers as she was nervous to tell something that made the pixie cut woman to be worried. The golden-haired woman tilted her head and looked away at her old poster on the wall, it was the band she went crazy about in her days in 90s.
"Emma?" She put a little nudge in her statement while Emma raked her hair with a sigh. It was that nothing but something was up in her. Mary Margaret knew something was up with Emma since she birthed her in the first sight and waited until the silence broke.
"It's ummm… about Regina."
"Yes, what about her?"
"I ummm… saw her today and I…" Emma retorted with a shrug and flicking her hands in the air while looking down at the floor.
"You what?" Mary Margaret questioned with her raised brows. The blonde actress paused to look up at her mom and blurted it out in the air with a sheepishly chuckle.
"Ran away."
"You what!?" Neal, Everett and Amy yelped between the room and doorway. Others whipped their head to look at them with the horrified faces. The redheaded woman walked to the bed and sat beside her oldest sister with a bewildered face.
"You ran away from Regina. What's going on?" Neal asked her. Emma looked back at her mom and her siblings in front of her then complimented.
"Like I don't know what to say in front of her. I meant, I stood there by the front of the mansion on the sidewalk before I came here. I was in my memories; you know?"
"What are you talking about? I thought we are talking about Regina and you ran off." Everett signed flourish and he knew American Sign Language but didn't want Henry to know what's going on because the brown-haired boy was in his room next to Emma's room. The blonde woman furrowed her brows and opened her mouth but Mary Margaret beat her to it.
"Why are you signing?"
"Because H-E-N-R-Y is in other room, I don't want him to know about what happened to you and Regina." The blond man stared at his mom with a strange look and signed back.
"Why?" Emma signed back with a confusion on her face. Amy rolled her eyes and signed in a slow pace. It caused Neal and Everett to laugh at her signs. Their mom sent her boys a glare and let her be. Others nodded with a salute with a chuckle. The redheaded woman flashed her middle finger at them and caused Mary Margaret to scold her away.
"Because you don't want your son to have high hopes for you and Regina when you both get together. Get it?" Amy nodded with a smile. Emma understood and signed away.
"Anyway, Regina came out and she seemed flustered when she saw me. I gave up to freak out and decided not to talk with her when I'm alone then ran away without looking back on my shoulder."
"You idiot." Neal complied with a 'really?' look. The blond man concurred with his baby brother and spoke lightly.
"You are still our idiot. But you should talk to her because of Henry."
"He is right; Regina deserves to know that she has a son. With you." Amy signed with a small smile. Mary Margaret waved her hand at her oldest daughter and signed.
"I concur with your siblings. She need to know that Henry is hers. But I'm curious about how you both produced a beautiful son like yours."
"MOM!" They yelled in unison and the pixie cut woman surrendered her hands in the air then walked out of the room. It left the siblings to be horrified for their life but Emma smiled at herself when she came into her memories again. Amy looked up at her brothers and decided to speak it out.
"Emma, you need to see her today or tomorrow. I believe that we have a lot of errands to do."
"Like what?" The baby brother asked her with a confusion. Everett chuckled and continued.
"We have a plan to get Regina and Emma together alone and lock them away without the interruptions."
"NO!" Emma said with a horrified face. The redheaded woman rolled her eyes and got up from the bed then signed.
"You need it and we are planning to do it because you won't do it to yourself. We know you well. Get your shit together!" The blonde woman exhaled and flashed her a middle finger with a lip-sync statement.
"FUCK YOU."
"You are welcome, loser." Amy smiled and turned away to get out of the room. It left the men chuckling at the banter between their sisters. Emma looked back at them with a sinister chuckle and spoke men went perplexed with staring at their oldest sister and they didn't understand how Emma acted like they were in trouble with the principal.
"Oh my, Neal and Everett. I love you guys. But you better run before you scream.
"Come on. You are useless." Everett said with a scoff while Neal looked at him with a negative shake of his head and glared at him. The blonde woman raised her eyebrows and complied.
"What about spilling the secret you had from your college years before you married to Julie?"
"Man, you got busted." The brown-haired man chuckled with a retort. Everett got red-faced and yelled.
"Did you see us!?"
"Yes, I do. Making out with your professor while you were in your fourth year of college." Emma sent a twinkle in her eyes with a mischievously smile. The brown-haired man pushed him into the conversation and asked him with a curiosity. The blonde woman chuckled and dropped a mic in the air with her name. The blond man glared at his oldest sister and fisted his hands to curl tightly.
"Oh shit, which professor?"
"Professor Maleficent." The golden-haired diva sent him a wink and walked out of her room to get downstairs. She felt better after playing a game with her brothers about the secrets. But Emma heard a scream from her room and knew it was Everett's rage then decided to storm away before getting caught by her young brother. Neal was slack-jawed with his widened eyes and was surprised that Emma spilled the secret in front of them before Mom showed up with a scold.
A/N: I'm not sorry that this chapter caused me laugh.
