A/N: SO SO SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT! Songs: Call Me When You're Sober and Sweet Sacrifice both by Evanescence.

A/N2: Sorry about that guys! I accidentally uploaded a chapter from one of my other fics! This is the actual chapter! WHOOPS! :/

Henry was waiting for Regina and Emma to pick him up from the skate park, so they could go to the movies and the arcade; since tomorrow was Emma's concert.

Henry was practicing a few new tricks that Emma showed him, when he was pushed from behind.

Henry stumbled but caught himself. He quickly turned around and saw Peter standing behind him.

Peter smirked and said, "I see you're alone. What no blondie to protect you?"

Henry sighed and said, "I don't need her to protect me."

Peter laughed and said, "From the multiple ass kickings that I have given you over the years, I beg to differ."

Henry took a breath and looked around to see if anyone was around. There was no one.

Peter then took a step closer and said, "I think I have been nice, and given you time to lick your wounds. I think it's time for a little payback."

Henry gulped.

Emma and Regina were in the car driving to pick up Henry from the skate park when Regina asked Emma about her plans for after school, since she was graduating to early.

Emma shrugged, "Not sure yet. Maybe head out on the road, try and make something of the Grey Swans. I'm not really sure, why?"

Regina shrugged and said, "Cause I want you to know that college is an option. If you want. I don't want you to limit yourself."

Emma looked at Regina and said, "That's really nice and all but, I don't have the money for that and I would never ask you to pay for that."

Regina shook her head, "You wouldn't be asking, I'm offering."

Emma bit her lip and said, "How about this. When the time comes I'll apply. It's too late now for me to send in the applications. Maybe next year."

Regina nodded and said, "Alight. But don't think this is over."

Emma smiled and said, "I don't doubt it... What the hell?"

Emma squinted and leaned forward. When the two figures became closer and more in focus Emma turned to Regina and said, "That's Peter."

Henry and Peter were fighting. Emma could see that Henry was using some of the moves that he was taught by Tony, but was still hesitating.

Regina gasped and sped up.

Emma watched and mumbled, "Come on Hen, don't hesitate."

They pulled the car into the parking lot and screeched to a halt. Regina jumped out of the car and ran towards Henry.

Emma was close behind with a smirk on her face.

Regina pulled Henry into a hug and said, "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"

Henry shook his head, "No. I'm fine."

Emma then ruffled Henry's hair and said, "I'm glad you stopped hesitating. Trust yourself."

Emma then turned to where Peter was laying on the ground clutching his nose. "Hey, Pan. Ever touch my brother or harm anyone in my family again and it won't be only him kicking your ass."

Henry and Regina both smiled, happy that Emma considered them family. Regina then kissed Henry's head and pulled on Emma's shirt. They walked back to the car and got in the passenger seat and Henry in the back, while Regina made a phone call.

Regina called the sheriff and said, "Graham, I could use a personal favor. The Pan boy is at the skate park. He tried to beat up Henry. Can you please go over there and collect him. Put him in lock up for a night, let him know that assault is a serious crime... Yes... Thank you Graham. Let him go in the morning."

Emma then turned in her seat and smiled at Henry, "Nice going Hen. I'm proud of you."

Regina looked in the rear view mirror and said the same thing, "I am also proud of you Henry. You showed restraint and used violence as only the last option."

Henry smiled, blushed a little, "Thanks guys."

Regina then clapped her hands and said, "Alright. I think it's time for some fun."

Emma and Henry both nodded and smiled as Regina started the car and took off towards the arcade.

When Henry, Regina, and Emma returned from the movies and the arcade everyone was tired.

Henry went straight upstairs and said, "Good night. Can't wait to see your concert tomorrow Em."

Regina and Emma waved good night and went into the kitchen. Regina grabbed two bottles of water and handed one to Emma.

Emma smiled and thanked Regina.

Regina took a sip and calmly said, "Ok, I know you don't need me telling you this pestering you.. but, I got a call from your teacher, Jordan, today."

Emma looked shocked, "Why?"

Regina shook her head, "Nothing serious, just that she thinks you aren't ready to be in her class, or that you don't apply yourself. I know for a fact that you can do this stuff in your sleep but I don't want this to set you back."

Emma sighed, "I'm fine. You know I can write music. I just- I just don't like writing in a class room. It needs to be quiet, I need to be able to think. I mean she doesn't know me! Why is she doubting me so much?"

Regina shrugs, "Honestly, I don't think it's her doubting you, I think it's her being nervous for you. I mean there's going to be producers and stuff there, I think she doesn't want you to embarrass yourself, turning you away from music."

Emma shook her head, "One I don't care what others think of me, so there goes the embarrassment and two she could have talked to me before calling you... Wait... Did you say music producers?"

Regina nodded, "Yeah. They come to the end of the year concert every year. Sometimes if they find an act they really love they'll sign them. But that's only happened once that I can remember. Why? Didn't they tell you?"

Emma shook her head, "No. It must have slipped their minds."

Regina rolled her eyes, "Ok. Look it doesn't matter, you go out there and do what you love, show them your passion, show them your heart. Metaphorically speaking of course. "

Emma smiled and said, "Thanks, Regina."

Regina smiled and patted Emma on the cheek comfortingly, "You're welcome sweetheart. You will do great."

Regina then turned and went upstairs, while Emma went downstairs to finish working on her song.

Regina and Henry took their seats next to Ruby, Killian, and David in the Storybrooke High School auditorium, for Emma's music concert.

Ruby leaned forward and said, "OMG! Do you see the big wigs in the suits?!"

Henry nodded and said, "I know! They are from Brass Music! This is so cool!"

Regina smiled as the house lights came on, and the main lights went dim.

JR then came onto the stage holding a mic, "Good afternoon everyone and thank you for coming out to support the Storybrooke High music students. Over the course of the year each student has written and composed two songs. Today is to showcase all of their hard work. So without further ado lets get started."

The audience clapped and waited as the first student walked on stage. Regina looked at the play bill and sighed. 20 students, and of course Emma is last.

The first 10 songs were decent and only one or two mistakes. The next 8 were just boring and littered with mistakes. Regina and the entire audience could tell that these were the students that didn't put in the time or the effort.

Henry was almost bouncing in his seat when he realized that Emma was going to be up next, once the boy slamming on drums was finished.

JR then comes back out on stage and says, "Alright so this is our final performance. Emma Swan just recently joined and somehow managed to create two complete songs in less than 3 months. I'm not going to delay any longer, Emma Swan everyone."

Regina, Henry, Killian, David, and Ruby all cheer out, "YEAH EMMA!" when Emma first steps out onto the stage.

Emma shakes her head slightly and smiles. Emma then walked to the grand piano and moved the bench placing it to the side. She then went to the side of the stage and grabbed an electric guitar and an amp, placing both next to her. Emma then grabbed the mic and stand placing that next to the guitar.

Emma placed the guitar across her body and tightened the straps. She then bent down and took a deep breath. She then struck the keys and started singing

Don't cry to me.

If you loved me,

You would be here with me.

You want me,

Come find me.

Make up your mind.

Emma then let the piano fade out as she quickly grabbed the guitar bringing it to the front of her body. Emma quickly began playing the guitar and singing.

Half of the audience was shocked while the other half were cheering.

Should I let you fall?

Lose it all?

So maybe you can remember yourself.

Can't keep believing,

We're only deceiving ourselves .

And I'm sick of the lie,

And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.

If you loved me,

You would be here with me.

You want me,

Come find me.

Make up your mind.

Couldn't take the blame.

Sick with shame.

Must be exhausting to lose your own game.

Selfishly hated,

No wonder you're jaded.

You can't play the victim this time,

And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.

If you loved me,

You would be here with me.

You want me,

Come find me.

Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.

You only want it cause it's over,

It's over.

How could I have burned paradise?

How could I - you were never mine.

So don't cry to me.

If you loved me,

You would be here with me.

Don't lie to me,

Just get your things.

I've made up your mind.

As Emma's voice faded out the entire auditorium erupted in cheers. A 'Holy Shit!' could even be heard throughout the auditorium.

Regina was standing and cheering along with the rest of Emma's family.

Emma blushed a little and smiled. She then licked her lips and tuned her guitar and adjusted the amps.

Emma then repositioned the mic so it was more comfortable for her. Emma then started playing and singing kinda softly. She gradually got louder.

When Emma finished she thew up a 'rock on' hand before exiting the stage.

The auditorium was clamoring with noise as many were talking about Emma performance.

Regina and Henry were waiting for Emma near the exit, while Killian, David, and Emma sought out Emma.

Regina listened while Henry excitedly talked about how awesome Emma was. "That was freaking amazeballs! I am so uploading this video to YouTube!"

Regina smiled and agreed. Regina laughed when she spotted Emma. Emma was being carried over Davids shoulder while he jumped and spun around laughing and cheering, "Emma that was awesome!"

Emma was smiling as she threatened to kick his ass if he didn't put her down.

David walked over to Regina and smiled, Hey, "Regina! I have one Emma Swan for delivery."

Regina chuckled and shook her head. Ruby then smiled and bent down to give Emma a kiss, since she was still dangling over David's shoulder. Emma kissed Ruby bye and said, "I'll come by the diner later. Save me a slice of pie!"

Ruby gave Emma one last kiss and said, "Of course. And Em, you were fantastic up there."

Emma blushed and said, "Thanks babe."

Ruby then jogged out of the auditorium and to the diner so she wouldn't be late for her shift.

It wasn't until a throat cleared behind Regina did David put Emma down.

There was a man and a woman standing behind Regina wearing suits and smiling.

The man cleared his throat again and said, "Ms. Swan, my name is Garett and this is Ellen. We are with Brass Music Group. We saw your performance and we have to say, that was... phenomenal."

Emma then smiled brightly and said, "Thank you sir. I'm glad you enjoyed."

Ellen then took a step forward and said, "I did some quick research on you Ms. Swan. It seems that you aren't new to the music scene. From the pictures it seems these two gentlemen are Killian and David, your band members."

Emma was a little shocked that this woman was able to find the Grey Swans but nodded, "Yes Ma'am."

Ellen then smiled and said, "Good, because we want to offer you guys a deal. And you all being together just makes it that much easier to talk out.

Emma was standing with her mouth open and eyes wide. Killian, David, and Henry's expressions all mirrored Emma's.

Ellen chuckled and turned to Regina, "Are you Emma's mother?"

Regina paused for a second and then nodded, "Yes."

Ellen then smiled and said, "When their shock wears off tell Emma and the boys to give us a call."

Regina nodded and pocketed the business card that was handed to her.

Ellen and Garett both grabbed their brief cases and left the auditorium.

Regina smiled at all of their stunned faces, they all could use a bit of good in their lives; especially Emma, she has worked so hard for something like this.

Henry was the first to close his mouth and latch onto Emma in a tight hug, "EMMA! YOU GOT A MUSIC DEAL!"

Emma then slowly wrapped her arms around Henry and smiled, "I got a music deal, and something better."

Regina looked at Emma in confusion, what could be better than a music deal?.

Emma then looked directly at Regina and said, "I got a mom, and a brother." Emma then looked to Killian and David, "I got a family."

Henry smiled and gave Emma another hug. This time Regina, David, and Killian all joined in. Henry then chuckled and said, "Family hug!"

Emma then laughed and smiled, "Family hug, I like that."
