I will like to take this time to explain why it has taken me a while to post. I have been working hard to make sure my readers get the best. I dont want to post anything that I don't like. I also been busy planning my wedding and work. I am going to try and post more. Also I'm doing one shots. Again I am sorry. I hope you guys enjoy the next chapter. Also rated M scenes will be marked with _m_. Now I will like to address something. I realized I made Sebastion have brown eyes and I know someone with blue eyes can't have a brown eye kid which I known. Sebastion is indeed David's child. He is different from the rest. That is pretty much known since he has red hair as well. Snow didn't cheat on David. This is a fairytale so anything is possible. So please just read on and found out later why he is different. I promise though he is a Snowing child and true love is real.
Memories
The entire diner was quiet. Time seems to stand still. All eyes were on the Charmings. Regina body went cold. All this time, her adoptive son was her enemy's grandson. How could she not know? How did this happen? Why would Emma give him up when she had her parents? And after everything she did, Snow and Charming were together. Not only that, they had four other kids. They had also aged. It was like they did hadn't been the curse. And somehow they did remember who they truly were.
"How dare you two come back?! " Regina's face was red. Her brown eyes fumed with hate. She marched toward them prepared to grab Snow from her neck. But the blonde hair women stood in her way.
"Regina, don't come any closer. And what the bloody hell are you talking about? My parents have never been here. " Emma crossed her chest.
Regina could do what she wanted to Emma but her family was off limit. Regina wished at this very moment she had magic. She stepped closer to Emma so they were eye level. Regina searched Emma's face. But the truth was that the women were truly being honest. They had no memory. Regina would let it go for now but she wouldn't stop until they were gone.
"Welcome to Storybrooke. Henry comes on we are leaving. " Regina grabbed his hand and headed for the door. This time it was Snow would stand in her way. Regina grew with anger. Everyone was still staring at the family and Regina. Red was the closest to them. Something was stirring in her memory but she couldn't bring it to the surface of her mind. For now, Snow was a stranger.
"We came a long way to meet our grandson. If you are just going to take him home to have his stuff in his room so you can do whatever you do all day then it thinks it is best he stay with us. " Snow challenged Regina. Regina narrowed her eyes. Now she knew where Emma got her desired to stand up to Regina from, her mother.
"Miss Swan-"
"Nolan"
"Excuse me?"
"My last name is Nolan, not Swan. And no I don't want to explain why our last names are different. " Snow wasn't afraid of Regina. She didn't spend eighteen years with this women like Regina had hoped. She didn't have time to make Snow fear her. Snow was just as brave as before.
"Whatever. You don't know my son at all. You don't know what is best for him. "
"No, but I know enough from what my daughter has to tell me that you aren't the right fit for him. You don't seem to know him either. And he is my daughter's son too. I am not here to tell you what to do. I was only stating the facts. Maybe you should start putting Henry first. " The whole diner cheered. Regina was lost for words. She was burning up at this point. She needed to find a way to get rid of them. She decided it was best to just leave Henry.
"Henry be home by dinner. If you aren't you won't see these people again. " Regina stormed out. Everyone cheered again when she left. Red was the first to speak to the family once Regina was gone.
"I for one want to be the first to welcome the Nolan's to our town. And to thank. " Red looked at Snow to find out what the woman's name was. Granny had joined Red and was waiting patiently to found out all of their names.
"My name is Mary Margret. This is my husband David. And our four kids, Sebastian, David Jr, Evaleen, and Leo. " Mary said pointing to all of them. Red smiled.
"Well thank you, Mary, for standing up to Regina. No one well beside your daughter has been able to do that. " Red smiled at the older women. She felt like she had seen her before. She just couldn't pinpoint where.
"No one should be pushed around. Everyone has a say in what happened here. Just have hope. And good things will happen. " Snow moved along to sit down at a table. The rest of them each found a table next to hers. At a diner, it was hard to find a table for eight. Everyone else went back to eating while Red took orders.
"So you are my grandmaw?"
"Yes, it seems I am. " Snow chuckled. Henry suddenly slipped out his chair to give her a hug. She was a bit surprised at first but after a second she melts right into his arms.
"Hey what about me kid?" David held his arms open. Henry leaped right in. It was as if they knew him his whole life. Emma couldn't help but smile. It was touching. But she almost felt sad. They should have known him his whole life.
"Grams and Gramps let me show you my book. " Henry pulled the storybook out of his backpack. Emma sighed. She hadn't expected him to have it. Of course, she should have known he brought it everywhere.
"Henry, don't you think it is a little soon?"
"No, the sooner they believe the sooner you can break the curse. "
Emma went to speak but Snow held her hand up. She then gently took the book. "It's okay Emma I will like to remember my past. " Snow gave Emma a look that said she should just play along. Henry excitedly watched as Snow opened the book.
"Wait you believe me?"
"Of course. But don't get your hopes up, Henry. I might never remember. " Snow flipped through the book landing on the scene of Snow White and Prince Charming as they departed ways. It was right before they did when Snow tried on his mother's ring.
"You have the same one! Look!" Henry touched Snow's ring.
"Wow funny it does look alike. Crazy how the author got the detail right. "
Just then Emma's phone rang. She moved away from them to answer it.
"Yes, Graham?"
"I need you to meet me at Rabbit hole we have a problem. "
"I'll be there. " Emma hung the phone up. She went back to the table.
"Could you guys watch Henry or get him back to Regina? I need to go handle something. Deputy duties. " David stood up and pulled her into a hug then kissed her forehead.
"Of course. Be careful. And I'm proud of you. "
"We both are." Snow kissed Emma's cheek.
"See you later Emmy!" The kids called to her as she left. Emma felt relief to have such a support system. She couldn't imagine doing this alone.
Thirty minutes earlier
"Unless you are here to let me out, I'm not open to talking. "
"It turns out, I am here to do just that, Scar. "
"Why?"
"Emma is why. You know the one you want. I know now how you got here. "
"I'm glad you figured it out. "
"I had no choice when her parents came skipping into Storybrooke today!" Regina slammed her fist down on the desk next to her.
"Oh, the Charmings are here! This should be fun. "
"They don't remember though. You did something?"
"I wish I could say that I did. But no. Someone else wanted them back probably. "
"Well, I need you to cause some fear in Emma. "
"Sorry I can't do. " Regina stormed to the bars with hate written on her face.
"If you want out you will! I can't have her breaking the curse. "
"That is exactly what I need to happen. You see my Queen I want my nephew to know who I am when I get my revenge. Surely you can understand that. "
"Fine then how about a deal. I let you free you go about causing whatever trouble you want and when Emma is gone I will let Simba remember who you are then you will have your revenge. " Regina said as she unlocked the cell.
"Now I like your thinking. Sounds like a deal to me. See you later. " Scar slipped pass Regina who was smirking as he left. She would get rid of the Charmings then Scar. Little did he know he wouldn't live to see his revenge.
Ten minutes before Emma arrived
The Rabbit hole
"That will be five dollars. "
"Here. " Scar sat at the bar watching everyone. He hadn't noticed the women who sat beside him until she spoke.
"I can make your night worth wide. " the black hair women said. Scar turned to her with a smirk. She was exactly what he needed. She was a little older than he liked. At least late thirties. Of course, it was hard for an older man like himself to get the younger ones.
"Oh is that so...?"
"Gwendolyn is the name. And not with me. I have a young girl that will fit your liking. "
"Now you are talking. "
"Don't act as if I am not suitable for you. I am just as gorgeous maybe even more than she is. But I don't sleep with old guys. Even if you are nice to look at. "
"Okay fine can you just get on with it. Where is the girl?" Gwendolyn smiled before disappearing out the door. He guessed she was getting the girl. It turned out he would be having fun before he caused trouble.
"No no, please... I don't want to... " a young girl with beautiful brown hair was struggling against Gwendolyn. The women brought her hand to her face.
"Shut up!"
"Please, mom... " Gwendolyn dragged her over to Scar who was smirking. She pushed the girl toward him, making her stumble. Scar, of course, caught her.
"Hey don't worry young one I'll take good care of you. "
"Hey what's going on?" The bartender had noticed the scene and couldn't stand for any longer. He was a tall man who looked to be the late twenties. He was a bit on the muscular side with warm honey-almond skin. Bronze-brown hair cascaded down to the tips of his shoulders with matching eyes.
"Stay out of it and do your job. "
"I am. " The man dialed a number on his cell phone. " Hey, Graham. I need you to come. We are having trouble at the bar. " The man hung up just as Scar threw a punch but the younger male dodged.
"Who did you call?!" Scar hissed.
"The Sheriff. " just then Graham rushed in. He held his gun up. Right behind him was a blonde hair woman who too had a gun.
"What's going on here?" Graham said out loud. He made his way over to the bartender.
"This guy was trying to force the young lady. And the other women just gave her away. Then he tried to hit me. "
"Are you okay, Mahir? "
"I'm fine just help her. " Mahir gave Graham a small smile. Graham wanted to ask more but he couldn't. Not here. Now wasn't the time. Graham walked over to Rachel where Emma was already helping the girl.
"What's your name?" Emma helped sit the girl down. Rachel looked scared and confused. As for Gwendolyn and Scar, they looked disappointed and angry.
"Looks like I'm taking you back to jail. And as for you, " Graham looked at Gwendolyn. She just smiled. She honestly didn't care what he had to say. This girl meant nothing to her. She still couldn't exactly remember but she knew she wasn't Rachel's mother.
"You should be a shame to yourself. I can't exactly arrest you for forcing your daughter but I hope she leaves you. She has the right too. " Graham finished cuffing Scar, walking away from the women. Scar had no doubt that Regina would free him by tomorrow. It wasn't like Scar had a place to stay so he might as well sleep in a jail cell every night.
"The cuff is little tight. I don't know how your pretty boy likes it but as far I'm a concern, they hurt. " Graham tighten the cuff making Scar growl.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. As far I am a concern the cuff aren't tight enough. " Graham pushed Scar in the backseat. The older man looked up with his bold black eyes and smirked.
"We both know exactly what I am talking about. Pretend all you want. But I know the truth. " and with that Graham slammed the door. He leaned against the side of the car for a second looking into the inside of the bar. Emma was still speaking to Rachel. Gwendolyn had disappeared. And a pair of brown eyes looked back into his blue ones.
"Earth to Graham. " Emma snapped her fingers in front of his face. He hadn't realized how long he had been lost in Mahir's eyes until Emma was standing there with Rachel by her side.
"Sorry I was just thinking. "
"Well Rachel wants to get away from her mother and I will help her and... " Emma was trying to speak to Graham but he seems distant. It was what Scar said that had him questioning things. He should understand what he meant but then again Graham didn't have feelings. He never felt a thing. Yeah it was true Mahir and him had something going on but so did him and Regina. Neither meant nothing or did it? Night after night Graham spent time with both of them hoping to feel again but nothing. He didn't understand.
"Look I can take Scar to the station. How about you go home. You aren't here. You are distant. " Graham finally looked at Emma. Her bright green eyes stared at him with concern. He had no idea what came over him but he had to try something. So he kissed her. And for a split moment, he felt something, warmth. It spread throughout his body. He wanted more. And it wasn't the only thing that happened. Flashes of memories flooded his vision. He saw a wolf with a red eye and him standing over a dead deer. It didn't make any sense. It didn't last either. Emma pushed him.
"What are you doing? What's wrong with you? "
"I'm sorry I wanted to feel something... "
"What? Graham goes home. You need to rest. And don't ever try that again. " Emma moved pass him, getting in the driver seat. Rachel got up front, just as she drove off.
"Graham... You okay?" Luckily Mahir hadn't seen what he just did. Even if he didn't feel anything, Graham didn't want to mess things up. He knew one-day things would change and he could finally figure out what was wrong with him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. " Graham didn't want to go home. At least with Mahir or Regina, he wasn't alone. So he grabbed hold of Mahir, bringing him into a long passionate kiss. Mahir didn't push him away like Emma did. This was something more familiar with Graham. It was where he belongs at least for tonight. Graham tangled his fingers into Mahir's long brown hair, gently guiding him inside the bar, letting the door shut.
_M_
"I need you. " Mahir whispered into Graham's ear. Mahir was taller than Graham by at least five inches. He much more built than him as well. So overpowering him was easy. Mahir pinned Graham to the door, locking it at the same time. He intensifies the kiss, having their tongues dance. Mahir then pulled Graham's uniform shirt off breaking the kiss for a moment. Both were breathing heavily, searching each other face.
"Let's head to your room. " Graham peck a kiss on his cheek before heading to the stairs on the right side of the bar. Mahir had a one bedroom above his bar. Mahir caught up with Graham, picking him up from behind, and racing upstairs.
"I want you now you walk too slow. " Mahir teased as he placed Graham on the bed. The room wasn't big. There were a bed and a bathroom. The big was a king size, enough for the two of them. The scent of forest circled the place. Mahir tends to walk there at least twice a day.
"Then why are my pants still on?"
"I have to tease you first. " Graham chuckled at Mahir's words. He pulled him down on top of himself. Their lips met again, fierce as before. Clothes began to fly off, nothing would stop them. Soon they were skin to skin. Muscles were rippling. Mahir trailed his lips down Graham body making him tremble. Graham wished he could feel. He was sure it would be amazing. Graham decided to flip the larger male has so he was on top. He was used to being on top. He was for Regina.
Graham then slipped down so his mouth was right above Mahir's wood. It was rock hard. Graham's tongue swirled around it until it reached the top. Mahir let out a loud gasp before biting his lips. Graham smirked. He flicked his tongue back and forth on the head before slipping his mouth over the wood.
"Graham! " The man growled before closing his eyes. Graham started out slow then deepen. He could feel it pulsing with his touch. He sucked the tip quickly until his mouth was fall. He swallowed and went back to work. It always took Mahir a while to fall down and he prefers to be taken by the mouth instead of putting it in the back door. But he enjoys every minute.
After coming for the third time, he was done and it was now Graham's turn. He moved his mouth back to Mahir's mouth and let him taste what he tastes. They passionately kissed for a few minutes until Graham was rock hard.
"Come on put it in me big boy. " Mahir teased. Graham rubbed the tip of his wood around his hole before gently pushing it in. His eyes closed as he gradually started to speed up.
"You sure you can handle me tonight?"
"There is nothing I can't handle. " Mahir moaned as Graham reached full speed.
"You know I enjoy these nights " Graham grabbed hold of Mahir's hair, making him arch his back.
"I just wish we had more. " Graham tried to pretend he didn't hear what he said. He didn't want to make the man upset. The truth was, Graham, didn't want more if he could never feel anything.
"I'm coming " He moaned as he went deeper right as he let go. He fell off Mahir laying down next to him. His breath slowly relaxed. Mahir turned on his side to look at him.
"I know you are avoiding what I said. You always do. Why? We have been doing this for months. This is all we do. I can't anymore Graham. I want more. " Graham rolled around to face him pressing his body to Mahir who wrapped his muscular arms around him.
"I just can't right now Mahir. It's hard to explain. I like it how things are. " Mahir release him and sighed. He rolled back on the back not saying another word. They soon both fell asleep not able to share anything else.
"Where are we going?" Rachel asked after they left the station. Emma locked up Scott and was now back in the patrol car to get her bug.
"Well we have to get my car then we are going to meet up with my family. "
"Do I have to go back home...?" Emma could feel the pain the young girl felt. She knew the feeling. She faced it when she was younger before her parents came for her.
"No. You are legally able to be on your own. "
"I can't... I don't have a job or a place. I'm stuck. " Emma pulled over to face the girl. Rachel reminded her of when Emma was that age. But when she was eighteen she was facing a decision, that changed her life forever.
"Rachel I know it seems impossible seems but you can do it. And I'm going to help you. I don't have a place of my own yet here but I'm sure by now my parents have. They will be welcomed to house you. Then we can go job hunting. I won't let you go back to a place you aren't welcomed. I know more anyone how hard that could be. " Rachel didn't seem fully convinced.
"You have parents that love you. I don't. "
"I didn't for the first ten years of my life. My parents were in an accident and we got separated. I was placed with the Swans the ones that adopted me. They were much like your mom but times two. So yes I understand. Plus at your age, I was pregnant with Henry. So I had a hard path to walk. "
"I can't stay with you... There will be no room. "
"Rachel doesn't fight me. I don't know why but I want to help you. You remind me of well myself. I can't let you go back there. So it's settled you will stay with me wherever I end up. And I'll help you get through it. " Rachel finally lost it and cried. Emma knew the girl had finally given up. She was letting someone help her. She was letting her walls down just like Emma.
"Thank you. "
'" Mary we can't squeeze everyone in a loft. "
"I know David but we can get rent two. Well, Emma can rent one. And our one. She can have the two oldest stay with her. We can't exactly buy a house. We have no idea how long we are staying. " David and Mary were at Granny's by themselves. They brought Henry back home earlier. The kids were at another table, talking among themselves.
"Evaleen, please explain to Sebastian what makes him, Henry's uncle. He isn't listening. " The brunette looked up from her phone. Her ocean blue eyes haven't left the screen in over ten minutes. She looked at her older brother then at the smallest charming.
"Sebastian, Emmy is your oldest sister. She had a baby at the same time you were born. "
"So he is my twin!" The boy cheered. Sebastian was sitting across from Leo and Evaleen. His brown eyes were filled with excitement.
"No, Sebastian! You are his uncle. I know it's confusing but it will make sense when you are older. " Dj crossed his arms.
"I know that. "
"That's not what you told me!"Leo grew angry. His little brother had always been different. He was the only red hair one and he always said things that made no sense.
"Yes, I did. I said okay he is my twin. I just meant we are twins because we are born on the same day. But like um. "
"Birthday twins! " David jr suddenly said running up to the table as he just left the bathroom. Sebastian, on the other hand, was the crazy one. He was the daredevil. He likes to do things the others wouldn't. He was also the spitting image of their father. Dj slapped his hands on the table giving them all that sloppy grin.
"Finally someone who understands me. " The ten-year-old whined as Dj messed up the top of his red hair. "I'm might be young but I'm smart. "
"Sorry bro didn't mean anything about it. Anyways I wonder when Emma is coming back. " Leo said just as the eldest of all of them walked in. Emma finally made it back along with Rachel.
"Emma!" Sensation slipped out the booth, running for her. She, the little ginger up, holding him tight.
"Oh, how I miss you, little bro. " She kissed the top of his head before setting him down. She looked around at her family. "Everyone this is Rachel she is going to be staying with us. Her mother tried to make her something she didn't wanna do. She doesn't want to stay with her. Which brings me to the place-"
"Is it really your place to house this girl, Ms. Swan?" Regina managed to slip in just as she told her family what was going on. Emma turned around with narrowed eyes.
"How could you release a man like him? Do you want to discuss my decisions? Because we could discuss yours with the town. A man like him should be locked up for a long time. "
"Well, this is my town. I decide who stays locked up. You were asking for it. And so was she. " Emma gasped. She had no idea how Regina knew. "Oh, Miss Swan when will you stop acting surprised when you realize I know everything about everyone that comes here. This is my town. I'm in charge. I make the rules. And I will continue to make everyone's life miserable. "
"And together with my family, we will continue to make things better around here. Goodwill wins. " it was Regina's turn to gasp. Those were the words Snow used all the time. It was surprising because Emma nor the charmings had the memory of that life. It was a blow to Regina's chest and made her more determined to get rid of them.
"Enjoy it for now. I will strike soon. " With that Regina left. Emma sighed as she looked at her family who all looked shocked. It was Snow that spoke first.
"So we found a place. "
Graham come to me. I need you. " Regina stood in the bedroom of her house with a glowing red heart place upon her hand.
It was about two in the morning when Graham jet upright in the bed. He didn't seem to be in control of himself. He turned to the side to hang his feet off the bed and started to put clothes on. He had almost finished when Mahir stirred beside him.
"I wish you wouldn't leave. Just stay. " The other almost begged. Sadly Graham couldn't. As much as he fought it, he always lost. Regina had his heart, though he didn't know, and he had to do what she said.
"I don't want to be seen leaving here tomorrow. I'm sorry. " He finished getting dress and made the mistake of looking at Mahir. Tears had grossed over his brown eyes but Graham knew he was fighting the escape of them. If he had his heart, he knew it would be breaking. But again he didn't so all he could do was walk away. He would never truly be happy until Emma broke the curse. Or his memories came back.
