"Wait so you and Bae? Wow some things never do change." Snow slightly laughed, so did Emma. She felt lighter telling her mom everything.

"You're not mad?" Emma searched for her mother's eyes.

"Of course not Emma! I have had a few one night stands in my time! Dr Whale, Oh your father was pissed when the curse broke."

"If you don't mind me asking, who was Whale in our land?" Emma asked with slight hesitation.

"Oh… Uh don't laugh. Dr. Frankenstein."

Emma let out a hysterical laugh. When had she ever laughed like this?

"Hey, I said don't laugh! Yeah it, was a moment of weakness."

Emma smiled.

"Mary Mar-" Emma started.

"You can call me mom you know…"

Emma nodded, "right, I have a stupid question…about Henry."

Snow waited for Emma to continue.

"I just am, I'm scared of him… he cries a lot and I don't know what to do, aren't mothers supposed to know that stuff?" She was a little ashamed.

Snow gave her a squeeze.

"Oh Emma when Neil was born I didn't sleep for weeks! I was so stressed. It's fine to let Regina take the lead. Actually when she first adopted Henry, she couldn't get him to stop crying either. I did"

Emma was shocked she stopped walking, "Are you just saying that to make me feel better?"

Snow shook her head, "No, she took him to the doctor's because she couldn't get him to stop crying. When she handed him to me he stopped. I found out later when she got home, she begged with him to give her a chance and as soon as she kissed him, he stopped."

She tugged Emma to keep walking.

"You can do it Emma, just don't worry so much."

Maybe things would be ok.

…..

Aw

…..

As Snow was walking her to the start of the walkway Regina flung open the door and came running out. To SB Emma and Regina it was a scene they remembered all too well.

The night Emma arrived in StoryBrooke. Though this time it was Queen running out grabbing Emma.

"Emma! Emma…"

"I was so worried." Pulling back, "Where were you!? What happened?!"

Emma looked guilty, "I'm sorry Regina…"

Regina just pulled her back into her embrace.

"Don't you leave me again."

Emma gripped tight, "I won't. I promise."
