This story is dedicated to the amazing OncerSware(k)JateBazeGirlscout22. I got this (former) little one-shot idea from their story, 'Already There.' It's an amazing story and she is an amazing author! So you guys should definitely check her stories out:D

Disclaimer: I do not own the Once Upon A Time plot nor the wonderful characters or anything else relating to the show.

This chapter and the rest of the story is also dedicated to red lightning who gave me this idea that basically shapes the whole rest of the story:)

Okay guys this chapter is much shorter then normal but I felt like I'd left you guys at a cliffhangerish for too long;) so here is chapter 7!

EDIT: I have added Neal into the story of Henry's father. For the sake of SWF (THE SEQUEL). It will not affect the plot of SWM but will play an important role in SWF.

Regina slammed her front door and walked into the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass. As she poured it, a stream of thoughts were running through her head. Snow remembers. Her precious husband must as well. They took my son. Henry hates me.

Regina sat down on her barstool and took a sip of wine. She couldn't get the image of the hurt, scared, and hateful look on her son's face. "He hates me..." she muttered. She downed the rest of the glass and stared at it.

Passing it back and forth between her hands, Regina replayed the day's events in her head. She stopped passing the glass between her hands when Henry's face popped back into her head. Regina's grip tightened on the glass and she threw it at the wall.

As the glass shattered, Regina thought of only one way to get Henry back. And that was by making a deal with the imp...he'd do what she asked, after all, she had his precious Belle as leverage. She stood up and clutched her jaw as a searing pain hit. "Screw you Emma Swan. Screw you..." she muttered. Regina turned and walked out of her home to her car. She needed to check Belle out of the hospital and then pay a visit to the wretched imp.

~Snow~

Snow sat on the couch still in shock. Emma was upstairs trying to soothe Henry, as she'd been the past two hours. James sat beside her. "Snow?" he asked softly. "It's been two hours and you haven't moved, what happened?"

"I...Regina...I called her stepmother...Charming, she knows now..." Snow whispered and looked at her husband in worry. "What are we going to do?"

James pulled her close, "We're going to get through this."

"How?" she asked as hot tears formed in her eyes.

"Together," James told her and kissed her temple.

Snow sat up, "I need to tell you something."

"What's wrong?" James asked.

Snow touched her stomach, "I'm pregnant. That's why I'm most worried that Regina knows. Emma can protect herself, and Regina won't hurt Henry. But our child...she'll kill it..." Snow whispered.

James felt tears come into his eyes. A second chance...finally... "Darling, I will not let that witch harm our family I swear. Now you need to sleep. I'm going to check on Em alright?"

Snow stood and nodded. "Okay. Charming?" she asked as James turned to walk to Emma's room.

He turned back around. "Yes?"

"You're amazing. You're going to be an amazing father again," she said and kissed him tenderly.

"And you an amazing mother Snow. Now go, rest," he demanded.

"Going!" Snow said laughing. James chuckled and turned to walk down the hall.

~Emma~

"Henry you need to sleep," Emma pleaded, rubbing her son's back.

Henry was still shaking with sobs as he had been the past two hours. He shook his head. "I-I can't! The Q-queen, she-she'll take me away! I don't want to go back to her!"

Emma pulled him into her arms and began to stoke his cheek with the back of her thumb. "Shhh...it's gonna be okay Kid. I've got you know. No one's gonna hurt you. Regina will have to kill me if she wants you back." Emma began to him a soft lullaby she'd known since she was a baby, and then softly, began to sing.

Deep in the meadow, under a willow

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow

Lay down your head, and close your eyes...

She paused and picked the melody back up in a soft hum. Henry's breathing had returned to normal and had started to slow, his eyes drooping. Finally, he passed out and Emma smiled down at him.

"He looks just like you Emma," James said quietly, standing in the doorway.

Emma looked surprised. "Dad, how long were you there?" she inquired embarrassed.

James shrugged. "Around the time you started singing I guess. Mind if I join you?"

"I'd like that, but can we go in the living room? I don't want to wake Henry, he's so scared..." she whispered.

James came over and helped Emma lay Henry onto the bed. They walked out into the living room were two hot chocolates sat on the coffee table. James chuckled, "Your mother does think of everything doesn't she. Even when I sent her to bed, she made us hot chocolate."

"She's pretty amazing." Emma plopped onto the couch and sipped her hot chocolate.

James sat down beside her. "I know some of what happened. Regina showed up and tried to take Henry, Snow called her stepmother, you punched Regina—good girl for doing that by the way—Henry refused to go, and now he's here. But I'd like the whole story. If you don't mind."

Emma sighed. "It's a long story..."

James draped his arm on her shoulder. "We've got all night. Emma, you can tell me, I won't be mad."

"I know. I guess I should start at the end of my junior year of high school. The most popular guy in school, Mark, asked me to Prom. He was a senior, star quarterback, top of the class, and he asked me, Emma Swan to prom. We became the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of the high school. Everyone said we were a match made in heaven, and for what seemed like forever, I believed them. We'd planned on getting married, having a life together. He graduated and went off to college and I stayed for my senior year. When he came back for my Prom and graduation, he was different. I wasn't sure what it was then, but he wasn't MY Mark... He was…well, he um...he-he..." Emma voice cut off as she began to sob.

James set his drink down and pulled Emma into his arms. "What did he do baby girl?" James asked softly, almost knowing what was coming.

Emma hiccupped, "Mark had gotten really aggressive. He was hitting me. Threatening me. But I-I let him because I thought I loved him. There was this party coming up at his college campus that summer he wanted me to come to. I went of course; he would've hit me more if I hadn't. I had my Coke, I WAS a good girl, I didn't drink until twenty-one. And Mark or someone spiked it with something. I wasn't sure what but I was conscious of everything, I just couldn't control my actions. After the party, we went to his apartment, and Henry explains the rest. At least that's what I think happened…there was this other guy; his name was Neal, Mark's best friend. I don't actually remember what happened after the party that night to be honest. The next day, I found out Mark had been cheating on me with my so-called best friend. I tried to leave him but, he swore he'd kill me if I left him. When I found out I was pregnant a month later, I just packed my things one night and ran, and Neal came with me. Mark didn't know about Henry and he never will. Neal and I, we fell in love pretty quickly. But…we were thieves, we stole whatever we could, after all, we were living on the road. We were going to move to Tallahassee together, I told him about Henry, he wanted to be Henry's father figure. But a long time before I'd met Neal, he'd stolen some expensive watches. He was wanted. I told him I'd steal the watches to help him get away with stealing the watches. So I got the watches and he left with them…but he never came back. I got arrested because Neal set up but. He had put one of the watches on my wrist and called in a tip to the cops. After that, well you know, I had Henry, Regina adopted him, and now we're here."

"Oh Emma sweetheart, I had no idea," James whispered. He tightened his grip on Emma becoming more protective of his daughter. At that moment, James was holding back the urge to find the men that had broken his baby girl's heart and rip them both to shreds. So he just held his baby girl and stroked her hair. "I am so sorry."

Emma relaxed at her father's touch. "It's okay dad. Henry was the greatest thing that happened in my life. I just don't want him to find out about Mark or Neal because I'm still not exactly sure who his father is. He looks more like Neal though. I told him his father was a hero, I don't want to hurt him," she said softly.

James kissed her head. "He won't sweetheart. I promise."

"Thanks." Emma remained silent awhile, just cherishing he father's presence. The strong sense of safety she felt in his arm, the feeling she had that no matter what happened, he would protect her. "Dad?"

"Yeah Em?"

"What do you think Regina is going to do?"

James sighed knowing he had to tell Emma the truth. "Whatever it takes to break you. Whatever it takes to force you to give Henry back to her."

Emma felt hot tears begin to run down her face again. What would it take to break her? She choked on a sob and hiccupped. "Daddy…I can't lose him!" she sobbed. "Not again. He is my life. And…what-what if…you and mom are what it takes to break me? If Regina tries to hurt you guys, it'd be MY fault. Oh Daddy…" she sobbed.

James his began to softly stroke her cheek with the side of his thumb, the exact thing she had done to Henry. "Don't talk like that. You won't lose Henry, or your mother, or me Princess. I won't let it happen." He almost added, 'or your new little sibling' but figured Snow should be the one to tell Emma she was pregnant.

Emma looked into his piercing blue eyes. "Do you promise?"

"I do."

Emma gave him a teary-eyed smile and settled back into his chest, slowly letting sleep overcome her. "I love you Daddy," she whispered before falling asleep.

"I love you too Em," James whispered back. He kissed her forehead. "Goodnight baby girl," he said softly and closed his eyes.

And there you have it:) I haven't given you guys much Emma Daddy moments and so I thought that Emma should tell Charming about Henry's father. Again I know this is not our cannon Emma anymore, but that is because, now her walls are finally gone. So yay Snowing baby?;) and yeah Regina is evil as always...
