I know I completely suck! I'm sorry it's been so long! And now I'm going to be even worse by only giving a small chapter! I promise that the next one will have more content, this is just to keep everyone updated!
Once again, I do not own any of the characters from OUAT, they belong to ABC and Disney Studios!
When Emma returned to the stables, her father stood waiting for her.
"Working on your studies?" he asked with a knowing smile. She smiled sheepishly in return as she handed her mare off to the stable hand.
"I'm sorry, father. You know that riding helps me relax."
"Darling, I know that you're not happy about tonight but you know that I would not marry you off to someone unless they were worthy of your love."
She scoffed at him. "My love? Father, you can't fall in love in one night." He laughed at her outrage.
"Of course not, sweetheart, but you can find your True Love tonight."
"You weren't forced to marry mother! Why do I have to?"
"The times are changing. You're 27, it's time to get married, settle down, and have some children."
"I don't want children-" Her father threw his hands up and cut her off.
"You can't possibly know that now. Just go meet your mother to get ready." He sent her off with a swift kick to the butt.
