Yo everyone im back! (screams in the background) sorry you waited so long I had a busy summer and now that the school year has started I'm a sophomore In high school! I'm gonna start the chapter now I will explain some stuff at the bottom!
Uh, where were we, something about you wanting 15 kids." A blonde man around thirty asked but you could tell he was not paying attention. At all.
"oh good lord no!" Said the pixie haired woman."I meant in my class where I teach, you'll meet them tomorrow. They are coming to the hospital-" while she was speaking not paying attention (again) staring at the waitresses ass. (really dude?)-"as part of the volunteer outreach program." "oh yeah, that is a great program" he said still staring at the waitresses ass.
"I mean, obviously I don't want 15 kids of my own. I-I meant not that I don't want kids. I do. I want kids, marriage, true love. I want it all, but that, of course is.." She looks up seeing him staring at the waitresses ass. She looks back up to him-"wildly inappropriate to discuss on a first date." "he looks back at her "hmm?"
"Ruby?" She said and the waitress turned around.
"yes Mary Margaret?" Mary looks down "check please"

As Mary is walking home she sees Emmett in his car looking at a newspaper. "hey-" Emmett looks up at her"you ok?" "oh, in the world of tight spots I have been in, crashing in my car doesn't take the top 10." "your sleeping here?" "till I find a place" MM smiles at that "you decided to stay. For Henry." Emmett looks down awkwardly "yeah, I guess. This town doesn't seem to have any vacancies. None actually. That normal?" Emmett sais while getting out of the car. MM smiles weakly "must be the curse." He sighs "why are you out so late?" "well, I'm a teacher not a nun. I had a date.
"from the look of things it went well." He says sarcastically. "as well as they ever do." "tell me at least he paid." She stays quiet. " sigh. Guys a jerk." "well, I guess if true love was that easy we would all have it. You know if things get cramped" MM points at the car " I do have a spare room." "thanks but, I'm not really the roommate type, not my thing if that makes sense." MM nods with understanding "well, goodnight and good luck with Henry." "yeah" he says as she walks away "more like good luck with Regina."
REGINA MILLS EVIL QUEEN REGINA MILLS EVIL QUEEN REGINA MILLS EVIL QUEEN REGINA
The chattering in the hospital the next day was caused by the kids volunteering. MM saw Henry in the back room with the John Doe. She walks in before Henry could touch his face.
"Henry. We could really use help with the decorations." She says standing by the door. " is Mr. Doe going to be okay ?" "I don't know he has always been like this. As long as I have been volunteering." "does he have any family or friends?" She shakes he heard "no ones claimed him." "so...he's all alone." "ya, it's quite sad." Henry looks down at the man then looks back to MM "you sure you don't know him?" "of course, I'm sure let's go, you shouldn't be in here."
EMMETT SWAN EMMETT SWAN EMMETT SWAN EMMETT SWAN EMMETT SWAN EMMETT
"that's your father." Henry says as he shows Emmett the picture of prince charming. Emmett sighs "Henry..." "He's in the hospital, in a coma. See the scar, he has the same one." "so? Lots of people have scars." "in the same place. Don't you see what this means?" Emmett just gives him a look. " the curse is keeping them apart with the coma. Now there stuck without each other. We have to tell that we found her prince charming."
"ok kid, telling someone their...soulmate is in a coma is probably not helpful. Not having a happy ending is painful enough but, giving someone false hope is far worse." "but what if I'm right? We know who they are. Now they have to know." "and how do you intend to make that happen?" "by reminding him. We have to get her to read the story to John Doe then maybe he will remember who he is." Emmett leans toward Henry and sighs "ok." Henry looks astonished "ok?" "yeah, we'll do it but, we'll do it my way. Let me ask her."
CRAZY TWISTED LOVE CRAZY TWISTED LOVE CRAZY TWISTED LOVE CRAZY TWISTED LOVE
"you want me to read to a coma patient?" "Henry thinks it will help him remember who he was." "and who does he think he was?" "prince charming." "and if im snow white, he thinks...me..and him." "he has a very active imagination..which is the point. I can't talk him out of his beliefs, so we need to show him. Play along. Do what he says then maybe, just maybe-" "-he'll see that fairy tales are just that—that there is no such thing as love at first sight or first kiss. He'll see reality." "something like that." "well, sadly the plan is rather genius. We get him to the truth without hurting him." Emmett starts to get up "I told him that we will meet tomorrow for breakfast at granny's to give your full report" he says while handing her the book."well, I suppose I shall get ready for my date. I guess I'll have to do all the talking."
SNOWING SNOWING SNOWING SNOWING SNOWING SNOWING SNOWING SNOWING SNOW
"Look, I know this is odd, but I'm doing it for.. A friend. So please just bare with me." MM says opening the book sitting by John Doe. "as the prince chased the thief on horseback through the treacherous forest, his betrothed crossed her arms and pouted. Wondering how many dreadful, boring minutes it would take before they could resume their journey again." (later) '' they didn't need words to express what they felt in their hearts, for it was here, in the shadow of the troll bridge, that their love was born, where they knew no matter how they were separated, they would always-" all of a sudden John Doe grabbed her hand.
I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU I WILL ALWAYS
Ya I'm sure. He is waking up. And he-he grabbed my hand." checked Doe's pulse and looked at the monitor. "everything is steady, same as it's always been. What were you doing in here?" The blonde perverted doctor looked at her in question. "oh, I was just reading him a..story." "oh, well perhaps you dozed off. Perhaps you imagined it." "no I didn't imagine anything." "Ms. Blanchard I can only tell you what I see, which is nothing, sometimes there are in fluctuations in readings. Uh, perhaps you uh heard the machine register something and misunderstood." She stayed quiet "look, why don't you go home and get some rest? If anything changes I'll call you, ok?" She nodded grabbed the book and left. Whale started to pull out his phone and dial a number.
"yes?" A woman's voice was heard (you all know who #evilregal)
"it's doctor whale. You told me to call you if there was a change in our John Doe. Something's happened."
Regina walks from her desk "what?"
"one of the volunteers said he grabbed her. There was a slight fluctuation in brain activity."
"and who was this volunteer?" Gina said in a steely voice.
"Mary Margaret Blanchard"
Regina adopts an angry face and squeezes the phone.
MM gets home and starts to read the book.
PERVY DOCTOR PERVY DOCTOR PERVY DOCTOR PERVY DOCTOR PERVY DOCTOR PERVY DOC
The next morning at granny's Emmett walks to his and Henry's booth with a shirt that does not look like his.
"thanks for the shirt, where did you get it?" "it came from my mom's closet." "but it's a guys shirt" Em thought in jealousy. "don't worry she won't even notice it's missing" Em sits down "where does she think you are anyway?" "playing whackamole." "and she bought that?" "she wants to believe it so she does." "oh, imagine that."
Henry looks at the door and sees MM walk in "she's here." "hey kid... don't get your hopes up." When MM sits down she looks at Emmett "he woke up." Emmett gives her a wtf stare "what?" Henry smiles "I knew it." "I mean, he didn't wake up wake up, but he grabbed my hand." "he's remembering! (you know who)" "what did the doctor say?"(you know who) "that I imagined it, but I'm not crazy. I know it happened" "we have to go back! You have to read to him again." MM nodded "let's go." Emmett gets up confused " .what?" "if I got through to him, if we made a connection-""you don't believe-""that he is prince charming. Of course not. Some how some way I touched him." MM walks out the diner.
MAYOR MILLS MAYOR MILLS MAYOR MILLS MAYOR MILLS MAYOR MILLS MAYOR MILLS`
At the hospital John Doe is gone from the room. "your right he woke up." Henry says when graham forces him to stay back. "is John Doe ok?" MM says panicked. Graham sighs "he's missing." When Graham moves from out from in front of the doorway you see an irritated mayor staring at Emmett and Henry.
Regina walks straight toward Henry with a look of disappointment then looks at Emmett "what the hell are you doing here?" Then looks back down to Henry "and you I thought you were at the arcade, now your lying to me." "what happened to John Doe?" MM says "did someone take him?" As Graham starts to answer Regina looks at Emmetts shirt. "we don't know yet his IV's were ripped out, there were no signs of struggle." Henry looked up at his mom "what did you do?" Regina looks hurt and was about to say something but Emmett beat her to it. "ikd, don't talk to her that way she is your mom and didn't have anything to do with this, right" Em said looking straight at her trying out his super power. "I'm here cause I am 's emergency contact." She told the truth and looked at Emmett in shock. "you know him?" MM said. " I found him on the side of the road years ago with no I.D" "mayor mills saved his life by bringing him here."
"will he be ok?" MM asked whale "ok?, the man's been on feeding tubes for years, under constant supervision. He needs to get back here right away, or honestly, ok might be a pipe dream." Em sighs "well lets stop yapping and get looking." As Em starts to walk he stopped at the Mayor's voice " that's what we're doing. Stay out of this, dear. And since I clearly can't keep you from my son, I guess I'm just going to have to keep my son away from you." She grabs Henry's hand and starts walking out of the hospital and stops right by Emmett "enjoy my shirt it's all your getting." And walks nods at whale and says "when was the last time you saw John Doe?" "around 12 hours ago."
"you two were working the floor last night and saw nothing?' Graham asked irritated. "not a thing." The guy said while yawning. "did anyone walk by?" Em asked Leroy. "I saw nothing." "Mrs. Blanchard was there anything unusual you saw during your trip with your class?" "I don't think so." Em went up to the monitor and saw something wrong."were looking at the wrong tape. This is the ward where Henry's class put up decorations. If this was really the tape from last night, we'd see the banners the kids hung." Leroy scoffed and pointed to the other worker (I don't know sleepy's curse name) 'you fell asleep again." "you selling me out." "I ain't getting fired for this." "at least I don't drink on the job." Gentlemen enough where's the real tape?" When the tape is on they see that He just walked out of the hospital." Where does that door lead?" "the woods."

"the trail runs out here" "you sure? cause I thought tracking was one of your skills." Graham stands up "just give me a second. This is my world." "right. Sorry." "what does he mean his world? Don't you find people too?"MM asks. "sure. Just...people I find usually run to Vegas. Not a lot of hit the woods." "it's an interesting job finding people, how did you get into it?" Sigh "looking for people is just what I've done..as long as I can remember." "what made you start? Your parents?" Em just looks at her shocked. "Henry told me that your—that your from a similar situation. Did you ever find them?" "depends on who you ask." They turn around at rumbling bushes and see Henry running towards them. "Henry!?" He just smiles "did you find him yet?"
"no not yet, and you shouldn't be here." Em says firmly. "I can help, I know where he is going." "and where's that?" MM questions. Henry turns to her "he's looking for you."
"You're the one who woke him up. You're the last one he saw. He wants to find you." "Henry this is not about me. I just- I think he is lost and confused, he has been in a coma for a long time." "but he loves you. You need to stop chasing him and let him find you.'' Em finally jumps in "kid you need to go home. Where's your mom? She's gonna kill me, then you, then me again." "she dropped me at the house then went right out." "well, we need you to get back immediately." "no!" "guys?" They hear graham call. When they got there they saw John doe's name tag with blood on it.

As they get by the toll bridge they start searching everywhere. "where is he? can you see him?" MM calls. "the trail dies at the water line." Said the tracking expert. When MM looks more to the left she see John Doe laying in the water. She starts running to him frantically saying "oh my god!" Over and over. "I need an ambulance at the old toll bridge." "he's not breathing." MM starts to do CPR to bring him back. When she puts her lips to his and gives him air he starts to splutter and breathe. He looked up at MM in the eyes "you saved me." He says. "thank you." She just shakes her head "who are you?" "I don't know" "it's okay" she says as she starts to hear sirens. "your gonna be ok."
As they get to the hospital the doctor and nurses start to take action. They all waited outside the door. "David!?" They heard as woman ran through the door. "David! David is that you?" "excuse me ma'am? You can't be in here please." said pushing her out of the way. "Who is that?" MM says. "his wife." They turn around to see Regina.
His name is David Nolan and that's his wife Kathryn, and seeing the joy on her face, it's put me in quite the forgiving mood" she said staring at Emmett. Her stare went to Henry "we'll talk about your insubordination later. do you know what that means?" He shook his head now "it means, your grounded." After her sentence Kathryn walks out and to MM "thank you. Thank you for finding my David." "um, I don't understand. You didn't know he was here in a coma?" Kathryn sighed "no, we got into a huge fight and I thought he left town when he left the house." Doctor Whale came out of David's room and spoke "he is fine physically, but mentally his memory is and issue." "what made him get up?" I don't know something just made him click." "or someone" Henry muttered. "can I see him?" Kathryn asked "ya go on ahead" and Whale led her inside. When the door closed Regina called Henry and they were about to leave. "don't worry Mrs. Blanchard, you were the one he tried to find." Henry said to MM before he left.
"Regina, wait." Em called after her. Regina stopped irritated what do you want ?" "I want to show you I can be a good parent, a father to Henry, let me show you that I can madam mayor." She sighs and thinks it over "fine. Next Friday, dinner at my home at 7:30, if you are even a minute late I won't open the door." After she is done speaking she walks out without a word. When she's gone Em starts jumping around and fist pumps the air in happiness, hopefully he can get closer to Henry and Regina. MM is still at the window when David sees her and they stare for a bit until she looks down at her ring.
MM is sitting on her staircase when she hears a knock on the door. When she opens it she sees Emmett. "sorry to bother you so late but, is that spare room still available?" She nods her head and smiles letting him in.
