I know she went to Phoenix but since her father works in Portland I am placing her there.

Uncle and Nephew

Portland, Oregon Prison

One month later.

Emma sat nervously in the chair, awaiting her parents. She was shaking. She hadn't been this scared since the night she came in here. She looked down at her hands and a small plastic stick with two lines lay there. She couldn't believe it. She wanted to forget him. She would now have a small person to remind her of him every day. But as much as she wasn't ready for this, she wanted her baby. If she would have been alone, she probably would have given the baby up. However, she had faith that her parents would be here for her. They loved her.

"Emma!" Snow called as she walked in.

"Mama!" Emma cheered. It had been a week since she seen her. Visitors could only come once a week. Her father she saw every day since this was his workplace. She placed the stick in her pocket, running to the door. Normally visitors had to see them through a glass but with her dad pulling strings she could see them on the other side.

"My princess. " Snow said, pulling her into a mama bear hug. David in circled both of them. She stayed like that for a moment before pulling back. Her face fell. It was time. She had to tell them. Snow hooked her fingers under Emma's chin to pull it up gently so their eyes met. "What's wrong baby?" Snow asked.

Emma couldn't answer. She pulled the pregnancy test out and handed it to her. Snow's eyes went wide and David looked like he would faint. But when they saw the tears they pulled her back into a hug.

"I'm scared... Mama... I can't be a mom! " She cried.

"Emma I can't say I'm happy that you did what cause this but that doesn't matter. Your father and I will support you whatever you decide. But if you keep the baby we will help you. I won't let my grandkid be without. Oh, baby, we love you. Don't be scared. Plus... He or she will have someone his or her age to play with... I'm also pregnant. " Snow said

"Really mama!? That's wonderful! I'm so happy. I think I want to keep the baby. I don't want him or she goes through what I went through with adoptive parents. There will be so much love for him or her. And an uncle or aunt to grow up with. " Emma said hugging her parents before letting go.

"Oh, baby we will be one loving family. Just stay strong. Before you know it you will be out and we will be together. We love you, Emma. " Snow said kissing her head.

"I love you both. "


August 15, 2001

A pair of screams was heard throughout the hospital. One was in one room and the other in another. The first one was a young woman with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her feet were up and she was preparing for the arrival of her baby. She was also handcuffed to the bed. A man dressed in a doctor's uniform came up. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He looked young to be a doctor.

"Hey, Emma I have some medication I want you to take. Your blood pressure is low. " The man said. Emma was confused but didn't question it. She drank the blue liquid. Suddenly her mind went fuzzy. And when it cleared she could think straight. But before she could say anything she had to push. She gave it all she got and finally she was welcoming a baby boy. When the doctor who gave her the blue liquid went to give her the boy, she shook her head.

"No, I can't. I can't be a mother. I want to give him his best chance. " She said. And the doctor nodded. He took the crying baby boy out the room. He removed his mask and dialed his phone.

"Yes, boss, she took the memory potion. She will think that she wanted to give the baby up. They all won't remember who they really are. They will remember they raised Emma but not where they all came from. Michael is in the other room giving her mother the same stuff. And her father will get some in his drink. The baby boy is being prepared to be adopted. She is back on track. " The man said as handing the baby to women who took him away.

"David!" a second scream was heard. In the room, next door was an older woman as giving birth. She had raven black hair, skin white as snow and lips red as blood. Next to her was her husband. She gave one more push and a baby boy was born. She, unlike her daughter, held her son. He was a pale skin like her. But strangely enough, he had a few strands of red hair. And brown eyes. He even had freckles. He was different but special.

"He is so handsome, Mary. Our little ginger. " David said kissing his wife's head and their son.

the "We made another amazing baby. Welcome to the world, Sebastian Nolan. " Snow said. Today was a happy day. But also sad. She was keeping her baby, Emma wasn't. That was hard. It was hard for her and David. But was what Emma wanted. So they would support her. It hurt though. They wouldn't see their grandkid. Little did they know it wasn't by choice. They had been forced. Emma had no choice she only believes it was her choice. She wanted to be with Emma but couldn't. Not just yet. David sense this and knew what she wanted.

"I will go check on her. I will be back my little Prince and my Queen. " David said kissing them both. He walked out. He walked over to the room where Emma was crying. He rushed to her side and held her tight without hurting her. She cried on his shoulder and didn't say a word. Again another day that was happy and sad. They really needed to stop this from happening. But right now they had to believe he would be placed with the best parents. They had to believe they gave him, his best chance.


Ten years later

Boston

"Yes, mama my plane leaves tomorrow. Yes I know I said I would be home before my birthday. Yes, I know how old I am. I'm sorry I didn't come yesterday I had a man to catch. " Emma said as she walked into her apartment. She slipped her shoes and flopped down on her sofa. Tonight had been a hard one. Running after a man in heels wasn't, easy.

"Emma you are always catching someone. It's what you do. Sometimes I wished your father would have never got you that job. I know you love it. And I'm happy for you. But you could have stayed here in Portland. Last year I didn't have to wait for you to come home because you were already home. " Snow said on the other line.

"I know mama. "

It had been ten years since she had been in jail. Ten years of doing what she does. She was only supposed to be a bails bond person for one year but she ended up loving it. It was a distraction from everything she lost. Every day for a year she thought about Neal and the baby she gave up. She still couldn't shake the feeling that she made the wrong choice. She had no idea that it hadn't been her choice.

"I love you baby girl. Just make sure you are here. "

"I love you too mama I'll see you tomorrow. "

Last year she had been offering a job in Boston. They gave her a place to stay and paid her well. She didn't want to leave her parents but she needed to get away. Today she made 28 years old, the year she was destined to break the curse. But none of them remember that. All they remember was being just your average family. David and Snow believed they had an accident that separated them from Emma for the first ten years. For Emma though life was good. She planned to move back home later when she got tired of this place. For now, this was home. Suddenly she was pulled out of her thoughts when a knock was heard at her door.

"I don't remember inviting anyone. " Emma mumbled to herself. She quickly blew out the candle she had lit for her cupcake making a wish then went for the door. Standing there was the small boy, he looked to be ten years old. He had shaggy brown hair and hazel eyes. Her breath caught as he reminded her of Neal. She shook the thought away as it was impossible.

"Are you Emma Swan?" The boy asked with hope in his eyes.

"Yes, who are you, kid?"

"I'm Henry, your son. "

"Sorry I don't have a son " Emma knew she was lying and she didn't want to attempt it just yet. Could this really be her son? How? The time she took thinking about it was the time, the boy had to slip into her apartment. She snapped out of it and went after him. He stood near her coffee table with a smirk.

"The years ago did you give a baby boy away?"

She didn't answer.

"That was me. "

"Give me a minute. " Emma said walking to the bathroom. Instantly she dialed a number.

"Emma?"

"Mama... My kid. He's here. " Emma stumbled on the words.

"What do you mean? "

"Henry, the baby I gave up for adoption. "

"Hey, do you have any juice?! Oh, wait never mind. " Henry called from the living room. He poured himself a drink. He looked down at his book. It was the storybook. The one that explained everything. Last year it appeared like magic in his room. There was a letter explaining everything. All these years he felt a little off about his story and now it made sense. Someone had forced Emma to give him up without her even realizing it. He was sure it wasn't his adoptive mother as she didn't know the truth about who he really was.

"Emma as much as you hate to do this he has to go back. Legally he isn't yours. "

"I know but there has to be a reason he came here. What if his life isn't good. I of all people knew what it was like. I know you guys didn't have a choice. You and dad got in an accident but I feel sometimes I didn't have a choice. It's weird I know. "

"Emma, I know you better than anyone. I'm your mother. You are his mother. You gave him life. So even though you didn't raise him, you know him. You need to follow your gut. Bring him back and stay just see if he is having a good life. You gave him up to give him his best chance. Make sure you did the right thing. But just remember he legally isn't yours and you have no rights. I love you, baby. Call me tomorrow and let me know. "

"My gut tells me to find out more. Thanks mama for understanding. I love you. Tell the kids I love them and dad. " and with that, she hung up. She walked out the room just as he leaped up. She noticed the book and wonder what that was about but would ask later.

"Okay let's go!"

"Wait, hold on there kid. Who said I was going anywhere with you. I could just send you back on a bus. "

"But you won't. I overheard what you told someone on the phone. "

Emma sighed. "Right. Where is home then?" she asked.

"Storybrooke, Maine. "

"Seriously? Is that a real place. "

"Yes, of course. "

"Okay let's go then. To Storybrooke, " she said grabbing her keys and walking out of the apartment. Not aware she wouldn't come back.

"Okay, guys it's time to go. The kid managed to get her to go where they are cursed. We are finally going to get our revenge. "

"About time! " three voices cheered. They all piled into the car, Scar had stolen for them. When Emma entered her yellow bug with Henry, they followed. It was finally time to go to storybrooke.

" I'm hungry. Can we stop somewhere?"

"This is not a road trip; we're not stopping for snacks."

"Why not?"

"Quit complaining, kid. Remember, I could've put your butt on a bus; I still could."

"You know, I have a name? It's Henry."

Emma looked at the book again. She felt like she seen it before. "What's that?" she wasn't trying to be mean to him. She was actually going with him to make sure he was okay. But she couldn't let him know that because he still needed to go back. She couldn't get close to him.

"I'm not sure you're ready."

"Ready for some fairy tales?"

"They're not fairy tales. They're true. Every story in this book actually happened."

"Of course they did."

"You don't need to believe me. No one does. But I know what is true. I have proof. In this book. Where are my grandparents?"

Emma looked at him for a moment in shock. " How do you know they are alive? Why would you ask that anyway?"

"Because I know they aren't dead. They aren't in storybrooke either. Which is strange they were a curse too. "

"My parents weren't cursed. What see are you talking about? My parents are in Portland. "

"Well I was told about you and where you were but not where they are and how they were able to get away from it. "

"Kid you are crazy. This book isn't your proof of anything. It's just fairy tales. "

"You of all people should understand. Because you are in this book. "

"You got problems. "

"And you are going to fix them. "

A couple hours later

Storybrooke, Maine

"So you are the mayor's son?"

"Yes."


They had finished talking to Henry's therapist and was now on their way to his house. Emma was a bit relieved as it seems Henry was doing okay. Though she was a little worried about the fact that he saw a therapist but some kids just needed too. All she wanted to do was check who his adoptive mother was and then she could go home.

"Please don't bring me back! She's evil. "

"Kid I doubt that's true. " Emma went around to open the door letting Henry get out. Women opened her front door just as Henry stepped out. Emma was surprised to see how well dressed the women were. She had black short hair. Though not as short as her mother's. She was quite gorgeous for women. She also had brown eyes and with a well-kept tan. And she gave off a bad vibe. She gave Emma chills. Something about this women wasn't right.

"Henry! " she runs to him and hugs Henry. He pulled away. "Where have you been? Who is this?"

"I found my real mother!"

"You're his birth mother?"

"Yeah, that's me. "

"I'll go check on him. " a man said at the doorway. He too was very nice to look at. Emma eyed him carefully. He must be the sheriff of this town, she guessed.

"Thanks, Graham. " Regina said. She turned to Emma.

"You came all this way, how about some of my famous apple cider. "

"Emma Swan. "

"Excuse me?"

"That's my name. "

"Regina Mills. Any idea how he found you and why?" Regina wasn't happy. Who was this woman? She didn't like her being her. And didn't like her around her son. She would get to the bottom of this. She would get everything back to normal.

"Nope. You have never been adopted before I'm guessing. Sometimes kids just want to seek their birth parents. "

"Speaking of parents. Is his father going to be a problem?"

"Nope. "

"What about you, Ms. Swan?"

Emma didn't like how she asked that. She wasn't so sure about this women. Something was off and that made her want to stay. Henry came from her and she wanted the best for him.

"No. I'm just here to drop him off. Though it's late, I think I might stay a night, " she said and let herself out. She didn't trust Regina. She needed to find out more before she could leave. Regina was left with doubt. She didn't like this woman staying. She could ruin everything she built. Regina looked out the window as the yellow bug disappeared.


On the outside of the town line, stood Scar. He followed all the way until he couldn't go anymore. He had figured it out that it was probably the town line. He pulled out a bottle that contains Emma's blood. With a smirk on his face, he poured it over the town line and got back in his car. He drove forward and this time he made it though. As he passed a sign, he read what it said.

"Welcome to Storybrooke. "
