Mary Margaret was dreaming, but she didn't know it; she was in a car with Emma but she was a little girl with pink tails. "Are we going to the store mommy" Emma asked her mother smiling. "Yes, sweetheart, then we are going to see daddy" she smiled at her daughter. They stopped at a light "Daddy says he is better at the sword than you mommy" Snow starts giggling at her little girl. "Did he now, huh" she starts tickling Emma, then Emma starts tickling "Emma mommy's driving" Emma looks disappointed her mommy never has time for much anymore because daddy and her work at the station. "We never have fun anymore, you just go to work everyday and leave me with Aunt Red" Emma looks at snow upset. "I'm not going anywhere sweetheart" Emma smiles quickly. Snow pulls up to the turn lane and turn the wheel to turn "Come on" she looks out the window, she see a car rush up behind her. The car hits the back of the truck, and moves it in the middle of the road forward. "Emma you all right" Snow looks to Emma, she looks out the window behind Emma's head and sees big lights "Mom" snow looks one more time to her daughter then the car is spinning then its dark.

"EMMA!"

Snow wakes up in a flash looking around frantically, she reminds herself it was just a dream, David see's his wife "Are you all right" she shakes her head yes. Snow scoot closer in her chair to Emma's bedside and takes her hand in hers, which immediately slowly grips hers snow sighs in relief. David notices his wife's expressions he knew she had a dream that emma died and she wanted reassurance that she really was there with them.

There was a knock on the door Neal came in with three coffee's and flowers; he gave the coffee to David and went straight to Emma's other bedside he watched her sleeping which was good because then if he was here when she was awake then she would ask questions. Snow picked up a vase from the bedside table and gestured to the flowers, Neal handed them over and she put them in a vase next to the bed. He smiled and laughed for a quick second remembering the time when he stole emma flowers and she tossed them out the window of the bug while he was driving.

"What's so funny Neal" snow asks him wondering about why he was laughing at Emma in bed. He looked toward her "No not like that, I just remembered when I first got her flowers. She um tossed them out the window while I was driving the bug down the highway in Portland" David and Mary Margaret didn't know much about Emma and Neal " You mean Emma's bug" when he heard that he laughed. "She still has huh. You know it was actually my car. I um stole it from this guy who was drunk, he was pretty easy to pick pocket" They just listened as he went into his story.

"I drove to Portland in the middle of the night and passed out in the backseat, I started to wake up the car was in motion I noticed someone was stealing the car I stole I jumped up from the backseat scaring her and I said impressive but you could have just asked me for the keys. She went through a red light while I was talking to her and we got pulled over, I managed the cop to let us off with a warning by make her pretend to be my girlfriend I was teaching stick and then I asked her for drinks and the rest was well...history. We started to work as a team like Bonnie and Clyde stealing from connivence stores across the country trying to get by. She was amazing at strategy and coming up with distractions; One time when we were in a connivence store she pretended to be pregnant I stole her a key chain, then a guy came in the store behind me and saw I was stealing so she pretended to be in labor and we got away" he stared at Emma laughing. "She still wore it when we met again in Manhattan she ripped it off and gave it back, I want to give it back to her but didn't get the chance. I keep it on me actually he reached in his pocket and took it out. When he showed it them they knew that it was Emma's sawn pendant she wore, but didn't notice that she no longer wore it.

Neal went over to the table with the flowers and put the necklace next to it for Emma,"I have to go meet henry at Regina's house, then to lunch call me if anything changes with her" Neal looked to Emma again, he went over to her forehead and placed a kiss upon it, then ran out the door. Snow knew love when she saw it and Neal and Emma definitely have it.

8 weeks later:

She was in a coma.

Emma was in a coma, Dr. Whale said they didn't know when she would wake up. Neal and Henry, Snow and Charming visited everyday to see her;Holding her hand hopping that she would wake up eventually.

He saw her because he needed to know that she was still breathing, still alive.

Snow was depressed, she was never at the apartment, it always reminded her of Emma too much. David was sad too he would stay in the station doing paperwork for Emma and acted as Sheriff again.

Snow went to go see red her best friend to get her mind off things. She walked into the diner and sat in her and Emma's spot and waited, soon Red came over and sat across from Snow with a hot chocolate with cinnamon and slightly pushed it towards her.

"You know I can't drink that Red" Snow said not looking at the beverage on the table which was steaming.

"Snow why not,Emma wouldn't want you like this she would tell you to have a drink" Snow looked to Red with slight unshed tears in her eyes. "They said that she won't wake up, and all we could do was wait. She didn't deserve this Red after everything she has been through why can't it ever be enough" Snow started crying, Red stood up and gave her a huge hug.

She went home to the quiet apartment,when she got through the door David was asleep on the couch. When Snow got closer she noticed a file on the coffee table she picked it up thinking David brought home some paperwork. But then she noticed it wasn't it had Emma's name on the panel; she opened it.

On the inside was news articles 'Baby found on side of road by seven-year old boy' and 'No lead on Dead-beat parents' Snow moved them out of the way. There were was papers with Emma's name on it, papers from different schools,Foster reports,hospital records and more. The school reports showed

Emma Swan

Age:10

The child is shy keeps to self, lacks friends,probable PTSD, believes in Fairy Tales as if they were true. I tried consulting with the child, then one day she gave it up. The child no longer believes in anything happy, lost hope in finding a family.

Snow stopped reading, Emma believed in Happy Ending then someone smashed it and was lost. She finally knew she was an orphan and that there was no hope in finding her parents. Snow bit back tears as she read on in medical reports Emma has had broken bones, bruises, cuts,malnutrition on multiple accounts mostly cases of abuse from foster parents. She was about to put down the folder and close when she saw peeks of a photo's in between papers; A picture of her little girl sitting down in pink tails badly done and in clothes that looked like they didn't fit her, but no the less it was her baby girl she got to see what Emma looked like. She was a perfect mix of me and Charming, she had some of my mother in her and if she had brunette hair she would look just like me when I was her age. She had to show David this.

"David wake up" David shot up from the couch and saw snow there holding something. "Charming look at our little girl" She passed the photo to David as soon as he saw the photo he cried silent tears. Snow hugged him as they stared at the photo well into the night until they went to bed. Snow took the photo and put it in a picture frame next to their bed and fell asleep in her husbands arms.

Emma has no idea what is going on all she keeps hearing is monotone beeping as it got louder and louder, she tried to open her eyes but her head felt like someone hit it with a bulldozer. She doesn't remember how she got here all she knows is that she is in a bed with needles in her arms. Her mind flashes back to when they took blood from her and held her down on the table to get shocked. Emma shot up from her bed in a haze things started beeping and going haywire she ripped off the heartbeat monitor wire and the I.V. out of her arm. She moved sluggishly out of her room down the hall,she heard people talking and yelling but it was muffled 'Dr. Whale Code BLUE. CODE BLUE' Emma ran down the hallways and out a door into the wood trying to get away from the people running after her.

Emma got into the forest and kept running she had no idea how fast she was running only that she was moving at a super top speed, she saw flashlights in the distance and an alarm from the building she ran from going off. She ran faster bumping into tree's trying to get away to be safe cutting her self dropping her hospital bracelet on the ground, her mind was a mess she wanted to run from the people chasing her.

Emma had no idea where she was going only one thing to get away she soon found herself at the docks, her vision was very blurry she was a building that smelled like sardines. She clutched her head falling on her knees;Her mind flashed to Electricity,pain, a group of men beating her, a creepy man with a knife, and a black women and white man.

She shook her head, she looked around she saw flash lights shine on her and she could hear people running toward her who sounded familiar 'EMMA!" Emma looked behind her and shot up, she saw them and then began to run again, her mind was pulling her toward the docks.

Emma got close to the docks running she ran out of room to run, she climbed onto a boat and maneuvered through them expertly not knowing what she was doing. She dodged people hands as they tried to grab her she went back on the dock again, they backed her against the ledge of the end of the dock near the water they finally had her. They went to grab her again "BACK AWAY FROM ME" Emma stumbled and fell into the water on accident. They reached out to grab her hand as she fell, but it was too late.

Snow was awoken up from her sleep by the her and David cellphones going off at the same time. They shot up hoping it was Emma and she had woken up.

"Snow"

"David"

"It's Emma she woke up she's missing" Snow dropped her phone and David and her ran out the door cellphone's forgotten. They got into the truck and Charming floured it, they sped up to the hospital, they found Neal there with Red, Granny,Regina,Gold,and Hook. They ran into the doors the place was a mess papers were everywhere people were running all over the place. "Dr. WHALE CODE BLUE. CODE BLUE"Whale ran up to them in a hurry.

"In the middle of the night alarms were going off in Emma's room her heartbeat increased, her brain activity was off the charts. Me and some nurses went to check her out but she was gone." They walked down to the security room,Leroy and Sleepy were there.

"Guys come look at this" They all looked toward the tiny screen as they watched Emma slowly wake up she was shaking and looked to be having a panic attack ,She ripped her I.V out and the heartbeat monitor of her finger. She heard the alarms and ran for it. She ran down corridors sluggishly people were chasing after her, she heard it quickly she made an escape out the door leading to the woods. The tape Ended.

"We have to Find let head out" They went to leave but "Wait" Neal said as he ran into Emma's room and retrieved the swan pendant. He held it out toward his father, who put it in his hand then it started to glow bright white.

"Lets go, we have to find her" They ran out the door with Neal in lead, as they ran the pendant glowed brighter. Neal put his hand up to signal them to stop "Wait a minute isn't this the way to the Cannery" Neal asked them they had grim expressions on their face.

Then a thought came to Snow's mind "Wait, this is just like the time David escaped from the hospital and went to the troll bridge. Henry said he was trying to find me because that is when he said he would find me" Snow looked to David with a bewildered look on her face, then they ran toward the docks.

David saw Emma stop in front of the cannery then clutch her head in pain going down on her knee's. "Emma!" They ran toward her, she must have heard them because she turned around she squinted her eyes then ran for the docks. People from the hospital showed up with the crew and was trying help get Emma, so they chased after her.

Emma got close to the docks running out of room to run, she climbed onto a boat and maneuvered around it expertly not knowing what she was doing getting away from the hospital staff. She dodged people hands as they tried to grab her she went back on the dock again, they backed her against the ledge of the end of the dock near the water they finally had her. David,Snow, Neal,and everyone were in front of Emma, this time snow went to grab Emma away from the dock's edge "BACK AWAY FROM ME" Emma stumbled and fell into the water on accident. They reached out to grab her hand as she fell, but it was too late.

Snow ran to the edge "EMMA!" David and Neal came up beside her. Neal took off his jacket and jumped into the icy cold water after the love of his life and mother of his child. "I don't see hr anywhere" Snow was shining her flashlight all round the water. Then they saw Neal he was carrying a body; "Emma" Neal swam to the dock holding onto Emma tightly. The hospital staff helped Neal and Emma out off the water, Neal laid her down on the dock snow came beside him with Charming.

"She's not breathing" Snow screamed shaking Emma to wake her up. Neal moved Snow aside and started to perform CPR on Emma. "One, Two,Three. Breath Baby. Come On." He blowed air into her lungs and pumped on her chest to expel the water from her lungs think about the time he said those word during their heist at the connivence store when she 'went into labor'. He kissed her one more time, Emma started coughing up water; she opened her eyes to him holding her face. Emma saw a blurry vision of Neal, but knew it was him "Neal" he smiled at her, finally she was awake weeks of sleeping she was here. Finally here with them. "I found you"Emma looked at him confused trying to clear her vision by looking around 'this can't be real'.

Snow and David came into Emma's vision, Emma looked around her confused 'they killed them, and I saw it with my own two eyes, how can they be alive. This must be a trick' she panicked then fainted. The Ambulance finally caught up to the search party, they put Emma on a stretcher Snow didn't keep her eyes off Emma the entire time. They loaded her in the back.

"Neal are you going to ride with Emma" Snow asked him wondering why he was getting in Golds car with Belle, Regina,and Red. "No, I will see her there, she needs you more now" he went in the car, Snow got in the back of the ambulance with Charming and Emma closing the door behind herself.

In the Ambulance Emma started freaking out that she was in a stretcher in her sleep, remembering her awful recent experiences in them. Snow went into mama bear mode and went to her daughter's side petting her hair and she started humming to Emma to calm her which worked immediately.

Snow looked toward her daughter and noticed one of her hand went limp off the stretcher, she went wide eyed she shot her hand to Emma's holding praying it gripped back this time, because she could not go through that again where Emma didn't grip back dead. Charming saw her expression knowing what she was thinking, he went to push back Emma's wet hair from her face.

Slowly the hand gripped back around Snow's, she sighed in relief looking to her little girl's hand in hers gripping still alive.

Charming rubbed snow's shoulder watching Emma the whole time watching her sleep peacefully, but this time Emma looked more relaxed than when she was in her coma.

They arrived at the hospital, the paramedics went to the back doors to get Emma out and in the hospital to be tested. As the back doors opened of the Ambulance Neal and Henry ran over to it, so did the rest of their family. They wheeled her in through the doors snow didn't let go of Emma's hand the entire time. Dr. Whale ran up to the stretcher with Emma's clipboard flipping pages checking emma quickly with a flashlight to test if she was out of her coma. They waited mostly Snow,Neal, and David for confirmation if Emma was fully out of her coma; he nodded his head to them happily.

"Bring her in her room for an exam, she has been on nothing but feeding tubes for weeks, plus she might have injured herself during her field trip" He ordered nurses, they wheeled Emma into her room with nurses crowding her;Everyone had to wait outside the glass doors to wait and watch them work on Emma.

Emma started to awaken again, but this time more calm. The nurses were setting up her I.V. and heartbeat monitor, to make sure everything is fine, with her physically. Emma was more aware of where she was , she reached out to Whale "Stop" she was trying to fight them. Whale stared at her worried about why she wouldn't want medical treatment, she looked frightened looking around trying to stop the nurses and him from touching her.

The nurses were having trouble so he went into the cabinet and produced a syringe to put her asleep, Whale watched as she stared to fall asleep. They saw the exchange between Emma and Whale she looked really scared when he approached her with the needle, he had to get two nurses to hold her down. After they were done Snow was getting worried Emma didn't even glance in their direction once or look for them, she fell asleep from the effects of the drug whale administered.

Whale finally came out of the room putting his hand on the bridge of his nose in exhaustion, "She is really strong. She got so scared when she saw the needle. She might need to see Dr. Hopper considering her abduction" he soon walked away from the them leaving them dumbfounded. Snow turned around to watch him walk away,snow looked toward the Emma room, where everyone else was looking, she saw as Emma slept. It was raining outside and Emma was crying in her sleep. Emma never cries.
