Hey guys, I'm back! (cheers from fans) sorry I have not written (or typed if you wanna get technical.) but school has been taking up my time. I'm writing now because I am on Thanksgiving break. I hope you guys are excited for dinner, who knows what could go on during this one!

I do not own ouat or any show at all ( if I could it would be this one and the 100!) like and tell your friends about this story, or don't it's up to you.

"You sure we can be out in the open?" Henry asks looking around town." Enough sneaking around if you mom has a problem with me walking you to a school bus we can talk it over at dinner." Em says with a small and barely noticeable smile, pleased that Regina is giving him a chance.

"Your brave. You'll need that for operation cobra. Speaking of, do you think we will need code names?" Emmett looks down at him and quirks an eyebrow "Isn't, ''cobra'' our code name?" He looks at Em like he said something stupid. "That's the mission, I mean us. I need something to call you."

Emmett looks surprised "oh, um...well I don—you can just call me "Emmett" for now or "Em" for short for now." He finishes as they get to the school bus. "Ok, well, then I will see you later, Emmett."

Just as the bus goes down the street Graham drives on to the curb in front of Em with his sirens and lights blaring. "What's with the siren?" As he gets out of the police car Graham answers " It's so hard to get your attention." Em scoffs a little "well, you got it. Are you arresting me again?"

Graham sighs "Im thanking you...for your help finding the coma patient. We all owe you a debt of gratitude." "well, what do I get—a commendation? Key to the city?" Graham thinks for a moment "how about a job? I could use a deputy." Em gives a small polite smile "thank you, but I have a job." "As a bail bonds person? There is not much of that going on here." The blond man raises his chin "I don't see a lot of sherrifing going on around here, either."

"Well, here is your chance to see it up close. There's dental." Em chuckles a little as graham pulls out a card "why don't you think about it, and stay awhile?" Graham hands him the card.

At the diner Ruby puts down a cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon in front of Em. "Thank you" he says looking up at her. She nods at him and walks off as Regina walks in the entrance (ITS BAE!). She sees Emmett at the corner. "How was your walk with Henry?" She questions strolling eloquently to his table. Em looked like he was about to say someth-"that's right. I know everything...but relax. I don't mind (well, she interrupted me as well.). The tall man raises an eyebrow "you don't?" She smirks (what a sexy sight. sigh) "no, because you no longer worry me, Mr. Swan. You see, I did a little digging into who you are, and what I found out is quite soothing." The brunette says with a political smile "it all comes down to the number seven." "seven?" "it's the number of addresses you have had in the last decade. Your longest stint anywhere was two years. Really, what did you enjoy so much about Tallahassee?"

"If you were wondering, I did find a place in town." "I know, with . How long is your lease? Oh wait, you don't have one. You see my point? In order for something to grow Mr. Swan it needs roots, and you don't have any. People don't change. They only fool themselves into believing they can." Em leans forward a little bit "you don't know me. but you will start to at that dinner. He thought" "no, I think I do. All I ask, as you carry on your transient life, you think of Henry and what's best for him, perhaps consider a clean break. It's gonna happen anyway." She starts to stand "enjoy your cocoa." Before she walks out "see you at dinner." He spoke, irking her as she left.

As Emmett gets up he knocks his cocoa all over his shirt "really!" Ruby saw what happened and walks over to give him a towel. "eesh." He sighs at his misfortune and looks up at her "gotta laundry room I can use?" She nods her head and points into the direction it is in.

Emmett takes off his shirt and puts it into the washer and grabs a shirt from the clothesline. "oh, no, no, no, no, no!" A woman sighs getting the sheet out of the dryer. "you ok?" He says looking over concerned. "the sheets they're a—they're pink." "you try bleach?" Em asks buttoning up the blue shirt. She puts the sheet down and he sees her swollen belly. "oh." He whispered awkwardly.

The girl chuckled a little while sniffing away tears " last night I felt contractions, and the doctor said the baby could come any day now." "so, that's great" the green eyed man said unsurely. Her tears started to fall "it's just that, um, when the—when the baby comes...no one thinks I can do this." His face softens at her words " no one thinks I can do anything. Maybe they're right."

Emmett turns back around to her and puts his arms over his chest "screw them." She looks at him astonished "what?" "screw them. How old are you?" "nineteen." "I was eighteen." "when you had a kid?" "ya, sure I only met him the other day bu-look the point is that people like to tell you what you can and can't do especially with a Kid. Whatever you consider doing, or giving up, it's your choice."

She looks at him "it's not exactly what you might think it is." "it never is. People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say 'no, this is who I am.' If you want people to look at you differently make them. If you want to change things, your gonna have to go out there and change them yourself, because there are no fairy godmothers in this world."

Mr. Gold closes up his shop and is about to leave and looks around, he locks the doors and walks off. When he walks off the pregnant girl goes to the front of the shop and breaks the glass on the door with a brick to get in. She gets inside and finds his safe behind a painting "Ashley." She jumps and turns around and sees Gold. "what are you doing?" He asks. "changing my life." She says determinedly. Ashley pulls out pepper spray and gets it in his eyes, while he is screaming in pain he falls and hits his head on a counter. Ashley grabs the keys off his body and opens the safe.

"I know you think otherwise" Regina says putting on lipstick in a mirror " but I don't enjoy the Saturday city council meetings.(city council meeting my a-) Sometimes they are just unavoidable. Now—you know the rules?" She says stepping away from the mirror looking towards Henry." Henry puts down his comic and answers her "yes to homework, no on TV, and stay inside." She smiles at him "good boy." Regina grabs him gently by the chin." Under no circumstances do you leave this house." "you mean don't see my dad." Gina sighs "he is not your father. He is just a man passing through." Henry stays quiet "now do as I say or there will be consequences." Walking to the door she calls behind her "I'll be back 5 'o'clock sharp. I love you Henry." She says the last part softer. When her car is out of the driveway he picks up his backpack and leaves.

LINE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE

MM puts plates of breakfast on the table while Em is looking through boxes that came in for him. "I'm so glad my stuff is here." When MM looks at his stuff she only sees two boxes, she gives him his food. "thanks" he says gratefully taking it from her hand. "So that's all your stuff?" Emmett looks up at her "what do ya mean?" "well, is the rest in storage?" "no, this is all of it. I'm...not sentimental." MM says looking on the bright side as always " well, it must make things easier when you have to move." As she finishes her sentence there is a knock on the door.

When the door opens Gold is on the other side. "Ms. Blanchard, is here?" MM was just about to answer when the blonde walks to the door. "Hi. My name is . We met briefly on your arrival." "I remember." "good, I have a proposition for you Mr. Swan. I uh, need your help. I'm looking for someone." "really? Um..." Em and Gold look at MM and she gets the hint.

"you know what I'm gonna go jump in the bath." "I have a photo." Gold says when MM is gone. When Em sees the photo is the girl he met. Her name is, uh, Ashley Boyd, and she's taken something quite valuable of mine." "why don't you just call the police?" The bondsperson questions. "because uh," he sighs and begins his sentence again. "she is a confused young woman. She is pregnant, alone, and scared. I don't want to ruin this young girls life, I just want my property returned." "and what is it?" "well, one of the advantages of you not being the police is discretion. Let's just say it's a precious object and leave it at that." "when did you see her last?" "last night, that's how I got this." He shows Emmett where he hit his head on the counter and shows a cut.

The orphan raises his eyebrows at gold. "It's so unlike her. She was quite wound up, rambling on and on about changing her life. I have no idea got into her." Realization dawns on the blonde and he sighs. " , please just help me find her. My only other choice is the police, and I don't think anyone wants to see that baby born in jail now do they?" "no, of course not." "so, you will help me then?" "I will help her." "Grand!" At that very moment Henry opens the door.

"Hey Emmett. I was thinking we-" he stops his sentence seeing Gold. The business man smiles at the boy."Hey, Henry. How are you?" The boy hesitantly smiles back "O-kay." "good." Gold chuckles. "Give my regards to your mother, and um, good luck ." Gold says leaving the apartment. When the door shuts Henry walks up to Em as if he has a secret. "do you know who that is?" "ya, of course I do." He says looking through his boxes. "who? Cause I'm still trying to figure it out." "oh, I meant in reality." "is that all you brought?" Henry questions. Emmett just sighs "Henry, what are you doing here?" The man asks gathering his stuff " my mom won't be home till 5:00. I thought we could hang out."

"Kid, I wish I could, but there's something I gotta do." "please let me help!" Henry pleads as they walk to Emmett's metal death trap. "no, it could be dangerous, and your mother would kill me." "the pregnant maid dangerous?" "She assaulted Mr. Gold!" "cool!" "No. Not cool. This isn't a game. She's desperate." "how do you know?" "because I know." "well, then let's find her." "oh no no no there is no "let's". You cannot come with me." "then I'll look for her myself." "then I'll find you and I'll bring you back." "then you wouldn't be helping the maid." Henry says with a smug smirk. "I am just trying to be responsible here!" Emmett says exasperated. "and im just trying to spend time with you."

Henry starts getting in the car. "Oh, that is not fair kid." Em says getting in the car. "so what's the maid's story?" Henry asks.

"So, this boyfriend of hers. Do you think he was involved in her disappearance?" Emmett asks Ruby while she is serving a table outside the diner. "Uh, that would mean he was involved with her at all, which he isn't. He left her in the lurch right after they found out they were expecting. Hasn't spoken to her since. Like I said he's a-" before Ruby could finish her sentence Billy let down her car to rough from the tow truck. "Hey, hey, hey Billy! Be careful! You almost shattered my wolf thing, Billy. It's good luck." Ruby said jogging over to him. "I'm sorry Ruby, but look, it's fine."

"Um, Ruby what about her family?" The savior asked drawing back ruby's attention. "oh, um she's gotta step mom and two step sisters that she doesn't talk to." "wait, step mom, step sisters, and she's a maid?" Henry spoke as if he cracked the case. "Henry, not now." Em said then turned back to Ruby. "look, I don't know what you've heard but it's wrong. Everyone thinks she isn't ready to have this kid, but she's trying—taking night classes, trying to better herself, trying to get her life together. Can you understand that?" "I think so." "then maybe you should just stay out of it. She's been through enough already." "I can help her Ruby." "then try her ex." "where can I find him?" "he lives with his dad." Ruby sais with a snort.

WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING WOLF THING

"Can I help you?" A young boy answered the door. "Sean Herman?" "Ya, who are you?" "I'm Emmett Swan. I'm...I'm looking for Ashley Boyd. She's in trouble. I just thought maybe she came to see you." "my son doesn't have anything to do with that girl anymore," said a man walking up to the door."so whatever trouble she's in, I'm sorry for, but there is nothing we can do to help you." Emmett looks at the older man in realization "you're the reason he broke up with her." "absolutely, I'm not gonna let my son throw away his entire life over a mistake." "so you just told him to leave her." "what were they going to do, raise the child in the backseat of a car?"

Emmett scoffed at him "some people only have the backseat of a car." "well they're to be pitied. I'm not letting that happen to my son." "dad, maybe we should help her look." Sean finally joins the conversation. "It's a waste Sean,"his father told him. "Sean, if you want to come, come." Em tries to convince."stop letting others make decisions for you. If Ashley runs with this baby, she's gonna be in some serious trouble." "she's running away with the baby?" "yes." "Sean, inside." His father began."Now." Sean sighs and listens.

"look, believe me...if I knew where she was, I would tell you. I went to a lot of trouble to get her that deal." "deal? What are you talking about?" Em says in surprise. "you don't know? Ashley agreed to give up the child, and she's being paid very well to do so." "she sold the baby?" Emmett whispered in awe. "oh, you make it sound so crass.(cause it is very CRASS!) I found someone who's going to give that child a good and proper home." "And who are you to judge whether Ashley is capable of providing that?" "look at her. She is a teenager, she has never shown any evidence of being responsible. How could she possibly know how to be a mother?" "maybe she is changing her life." Em says with confidence.

Sean's father just sighs "everybody says that. Now, look, I found someone who's going to pay Ashley very well, someone that is going to see to it that everyone is happy." Then it dawns on the green eyed blond "Mr. Gold." "well, isn't that why you were hired, to bring him the baby?"

BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY BABY DADDY

"you can't make her double cross Gold." Henry spoke while they drove down the road to the diner."no one has ever broken a deal with him." "happy to be the first" the blonde man says with mock enthusiasm."if Ashley wants to have this baby, she should have it. Anyone who wants to be a mother should Damn well be allowed to be one." Henry doesn't say anything he just smiles.

"When they walk into the diner Em heads straight for Ruby. "why didn't you tell me she sold the baby?" "because I didn't think it was important." "really, considering that's why she's running away." "look, Ashley's my friend. I don't like the idea of people judging her." As r\Ruby walks away Emmett sees her red wolf on the counter. When he looks outside he doesn't see her car. "Ruby, where's your car?" The waitress says nothing. "you didn't sent me to Sean to find her. You sent me there to give her a head start." He says a little pissed. "look, I'm only trying to help her." Ruby justifies. "yeah so am I. Ashley is in more trouble than you know Ruby. Where is she, don't make her deal with Gold without me." Em finishes with a fierce look.

Ruby looks from Em to Henry. "I can't talk in front of him. He's the mayor's kid." "hey, im on your side." Rubes walks away so Em can speak with Henry. "Hey listen, I need to find this woman, and in order to do that I need you to go home, okay? So please listen to me, seriously. She's not gonna tell me anything with you around." "Okay." The boy said nodding his head. Em gives him a smile "thank you." As he leaves Em turns back to Ruby. "she left town. Said she was gonna try Boston. Thought she could disappear there." "how long ago did she leave?" "about half an hour." He nods at ruby and leaves.

As Emmett is driving out of town Henry pops out in the back seat, scaring the crap out of Emmett. "what did she tell you?" "Henry? What the hell! I'm going to Boston you can't come with me." "you can't go to Boston. She can't leave. Bad things happen to anyone that does." "I don't have time to argue with you over the curse. I've got to get you home." "we have to stop her before she gets hurt. We're wasting time. If you drop me off you won't have time to get to Her." "Henry..." "then will call the police, and he'll have her sent to jail." The blonde man exhales loudly."buckle up. Ashley, what did you get yourself into?"

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY

Driving down the road the see Ruby's car on the side of it. "I told you." Henry spoke "its her car." As they get closer they see that it crashed. They get out of the car and run to find Ashley. "Ashley." Emmett called to find her, she wasn't in the driver seat of the car, or any of the seats. They start to hear moans of pain in the woods, they're Ashley's. "My baby." Ashley begins" it's coming."

Ashley is moaning in the car all the way to the hospital in Storybrooke. "is the baby really coming?" Henry asks mortified. "oh yeah, don't worry the hospital isn't very far." "No! Take me to Boston! I can't go back there!" Emmett chuckles "oh, no. We don't have four hours by the way your acting." "I can't go back there please. He's gonna take my baby." "I won't let that happen, but do you know what your asking for? If you keep this child are your really ready?" "yeah." "are you sure because I wasn't."You weren't?" "nope. I may have only know my son for a while but I know if I knew him back then I wouldn't have been ready. If you want to give this kid it's best chance, it's gonna be with someone who is ready, so know what that means. Your whole life is gonna change, and once you decide it's yours, this running away can't happen. You can't ever leave. Understand?" "yes." Ashley looks at Em with determination" I want my baby."

THE BABY IS COMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Emmett and Henry are in the waiting room of the hospital hoping Ashley and the baby are okay. "you know Emmett," Henry begins "your different." Emmett sops his pacing for a moment and looks at him. "what's that?" "you're the only one who can do it." "break the curse, yes I know, you keep telling me that." "no, leave, you're the only one who can leave Storybrooke." Emmett just shrugs "you left and found me in Boston." "but I came back. Im 10. I had no choice, but if anyone else tried to go, bad things would happen." "anyone except...me?" "you're the savior, you can do whatever you want. You can go."

The blonde man looked like he was about to say something until the doctor came out. "Mr. Swan, the baby is a healthy 6 pound girl, and the mother is doing fine." She says with a smile on her face. "what lovely news." (we all know who this is... :l ) "what lovely excellent work Mr. Swan." The crocodile like man walks up to Em. "Thank you for bringing me my merchandise." (ugh, cant he just die already. How did he last to season 6?)

I HATE RUMPLE END OF STORY!

As Gold is getting his coffee Em comes up to him ready to talk. "Well, well. Must be my lucky day." Gold says when he gets the coffee machine to work. "Care for a cup Mr. Swan?" Emmett finally explodes, his light emerald green eyes were as dark as a forest. "A baby? That's your merchandise! Why didn't you tell me?" "well, because at the time, you didn't need to know." "really? Or you thought I wouldn't take the job?" "on the contrary, I thought it would be more effective if you found out yourself. After seeing Ashley's hard life, I thought it would make sense...to you. I mean if anyone could understand the reasons behind giving up a baby, I assumed it would be you." "your not getting that kid." Emmett said aggressively. "actually, we have an agreement, my agreements are always honored. If not, I'm going to have to involve the police, and that baby is going to end up in the system, and that would be a pity."

Gold steps a little closer to Emmett analyzing the blonde man. "You didn't enjoy your time in the system, did you, Emmett?" "that's not gonna happen." "I like your confidence. It's...charming, but all I have to do is press charges. She did after all break into my shop." "let me guess, to steal a contract." The slimy man just shrugs. "who knows what she was after." "you know, no jury in the world would put a woman in jail whose only reason for breaking and entering was to keep her child." Gold doesn't say a thing and drinks his coffee. "I'm willing to roll the dice that contact doesn't stand up. Are you? Not to mention what might come out about you in the process. Somehow I suspect there is more to you than a simple pawnbroker. You really wanna start that fight?" Emmett finishes a little smug.

The shorter man gives a smile and replies."I like you , your not afraid of me, and that's either cocky or presumptuous. Either way, I would rather have you on my side." "so she can keep the baby?" "not just yet. There is still the matter with my agreement with ." Em just shrugs "tear it up." "that's not what I do. You see, contracts, deals—well, they're the very foundation of all civilized existence, so I put it to you now. If you want Ashley to have that baby, are you willing to make a deal with me?" Emmett thinks for a second, just a second. "what do you want?" "oh, I don't know just yet. You will owe me a favor." Emmett puts out his hand "deal."

Emmett and Henry went inside to see Ashley and her baby girl after gold left, Em was happy to tell her the news. "Hey." Em spoke briefly."what's her name?" "Alexandra." Ashley spoke proudly. "that's pretty." Ashley sighed before she spoke "thank you, for getting me here." "Mr. Gold was outside." He began but finished quickly when he saw the panic in Ashley's eyes."I took care of it, she's yours." "she is?" The mother whispered in awe. He nods. "but, what did you do?" He smirks a little bit "made a deal with him." "thank you." She starts to cry softly "thank you." Emmett just nods then looks at the clock, the only thought on his mind. Oh shit.

HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 HOME BEFORE 5 !

" I have to go." Regina says in a room that's not hers, zipping up her dress in the mirror. "Henry is expecting me home at 5... I also have to make dinner for a guest." She starts to fix her hair in the mirror "but I'll see you again...at the next council meeting." She finishes with a smirk putting on her heels. She goes to pick up her purse and keys and remembers something. "don't forget, your socks are under the bed." She says as she leaves the room.

REALLY REGINA? REALLY?

Emmett and Henry are speed demon-ing down the road to get there before five when Emmett decides something. "pumpkin." My code name. I was thinking in honor of Cinderella. Pumpkin." Henry shakes his head no. "you got a better idea?" Em asks him with a smile. "yep." "well?" "I'm not sure your ready yet." "again with this?" Henry doesn't answer. Emmett stops right in front of the house getting ready to leave when Henry is out of the car. "Henry!" The boy looks back at his dad. "about what you said at the hospital, about me being able to leave?" The boys face becomes concerned "yeah?" Em smiles "see ya in an hour." And he drives off at the speed of light. Just as Henry gets in the house Regina pulls into the driveway. He goes straight up to his room when one of his shoes fall off on the stairs, (ironically) but he doesn't stop to get it, if he did he wouldn't make it in time.

When he gets in his room she walks inside the front door and calls "Henry?" He starts to get off his jacket and backpack, grabs a book and jumps on the bed and lands on his back, taking off his other shoe he hears "What did I tell you!" He gets the book open when she opens the door to his bedroom. "do not...leave your shoes lying around on the stairs. Someone could get hurt." He nods and smiles a little at her. Before she closes the door she turns back to him "Dinner will be ready in an hour, if Mr. Swan is even a minute late, I will not open the door and let him in, understand?" "yeah." She smiles at him and closes his door behind her.

At the hospital Ashley is rocking her baby in her arms when Sean walks in her room. "is that her?" She nods at him "yes. Sean." "I am, so sorry. I should have never left you." "your back?" She questions hopefully. "yeah, im back." He sits down on her bed and shows her a pink bag. "here. I got her a present." He pulls out baby booties and Ashley giggles "I don't know if they're gonna fit." He says putting the shoes on Alexandra. "they're perfect." Ashley says looking in to Sean's eyes, and they kiss!

AWWWW! A NOW PERFECT FAMILY! DON'T SCREW IT UP SEAN !

Emmett got to the loft around 5:10 and got finished getting ready around 5:30 for the dinner, when he picks up his jacket the card that Graham gave him fell out. Emmett looked at it for a second then pulled out his phone. The blonde punched in the number and it rung twice then you heard a Scottish accent. (I think it's Scottish.) "Hello?" "Graham, it's Emmett. I was thinking...maybe some roots wouldn't be so bad. That deputy job still open?" "Absolutely." "then I'm in. Regina gonna be okay with this?" "I don't care, it's my department. I'll see you Monday morning." Emmett smiles "I'll see ya." At that very moment Graham is putting on his jeans after getting out of the shower and hangs up the phone while grabbing his socks out from under the bed.

IT IS OFFICIAL GRAM IS A- *CENSORED* DON'T CENSOR ME! I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY A HEARTLESS MAN...get it?

It is 5:59 when Regina looks at the clock, she smirks. She is about to call Henry for dinner when she hears someone ring the doorbell, she looks back at the clock, it's 6:00. She sighs disappointedly and goes to answer the door, where she sees and amused Emmett staring at her. "you said 6 on the dot right?" She nods slowly "I did, come on in."she said a little annoyed. She lets him shut the door as she calls Henry down for dinner. As Emmett and Henry sit down Regina pulls Lasagna out of the oven.

Henry looks so excited when she did. "you made lasagna?" He asked happily. The woman smiles at him "I did, hopefully Mr. Swan will like it?" She said daring him to disagree. Em sees this and decides to play with her. "what's in it?" She raised and eyebrow "red pepper flakes...it gives it a kick." The blonde looks at her in mirth "I will be fine then, I will eat anything." The brunette woman snorts a little "I can see it now."

After dinner Henry went to go watch TV while Regina would do the dishes. "here, let me help." Emmett said. "I can do it." She says trying to avoid his help. "I know you can, but this way you can get done faster and spend more time with Henry before he goes to bed." She reluctantly let him help. "I heard what you did for today." "yeah?" "tell me, how did you get ru-Mr. Gold to let keep the baby?" Emmett look shocked at her "how did yo-" "as I have said before , I know everything that goes on in the town. Now, how did you do it." The man stayed quiet for a moment the answered "I made a deal." Quietly he started doing the dishes again.

Regina puts down the plate she was scrubbing and looks him in the eye with shock and fury. "you did what! Do you have any idea what you have do-"she stops for a moment and takes a breath to compose herself and speaks again. "that was a very bad move you played, what was the deal?" "if Ashley gets to keep her baby, I owe him a favor." "making deals with that man is a horrible move, especially if you owe him a favor it could get you or Henry hurt if he wants something really badly." Emmett looks Regina straight in the eye "I would never do anything to put Henry in danger, if the favor has something to do with Henry getting hurt I won't do it, no matter the consequences." She looks in his eyes for any indication that he is lying, when she finds nothing she just nods at him.

After the dishes are done, they have enough time to spare before Henry goes to bed. They just sit and watch TV with him until it's 9:00 PM. "Henry,"Regina begins "it's 9, you know what that means." Henry looks at her pleadingly "aww mom can't I stay up just a little bit to hang out with you guys more?" Regina was so happy about him calling her mom she was about to say yes when Emmett spoke "kid, it is late, and I think your mom would want you to be able to wake up in the morning for school yeah?" He looks at Regina for confirmation. She gets out of her daze and nods her head at Emmett's words. Henry pouts a little bit but listens, he stops at the top of the stairs and looks at them "I love you mom, dad." Then goes up stairs without another word.

Regina was so happy she smiled without a care in the world, Emmett was shocked but put on a small smile. Regina composes herself again and looks at Emmett, he looks back at her and clears his throat "it's pretty late, I should go." "of course, allow me to walk you to the door." Emmett grabs his jacket and is about to leave when he hears a voice. "just because tonight was nice doesn't mean I want you in my town, at any opportunity I will try to get you to leave." Her voice was not cold when she said that. Emmett smiles up at her "I wouldn't have it any other way," she nods and is about to close the door when he calls "Until you 'can' run me out of town it's Emmett, hopefully you will call me that." She gives a curt nod and shuts the door.

Emmett's face for the rest of the night was a giant megawatt grin. Nothing could bring him down from his high, all he knows is that he is one step closer to having Henry, and hopefully Regina.

Hello everyone! I hope you like the chapter! It took me 6 Hours to complete, but it was worth it! In one of the chapters I mentioned me hating Rumple, that is true, so all you Rumple fans I am sorry this is my opinion. Tell me in the reviews how you guys like season 6, I wanna know! I also wanna know what you guys think of rumple and the evil queens relationship, (ugh :( ) I really find it weird cause I mean COME ON! He was with her mother and sister! That is a total deal breaker for me, and he says he wants Bell back yet she is Screwing the evil queen! He really is an amphibious man. Sorry for my rant, I had to get it off my chest lol. Goodbye for now my dears.
