Title: Faith
author: Cindy Ryan

Her mother had told Emma not to be angry at herself for not believing Henry. It was a bitter pill for Emma to swallow. She'd given Henry up to protect him from the hard life she'd had. Instead he'd ended up in a place full of danger. Danger she'd unleashed by setting foot in Storybrooke. Part of Emma still couldn't believe all that had happened. She probably never would. though she was grateful to have found her parents. Emma just hoped she had a chance to make it up to them. Her initial reaction hadn't been her best moment.

Looking at her mother now so willingly under the sleeping spell. So brave and fearless. It made Emma proud to be the daughter of Snow White. She just prayed that her mother would come back. That she wouldn't be lost forever. That was one thing Emma couldn't handle right now...loosing everyone. She'd just gotten her family back. By some miracle Emma still had Henry. They'd all suffered so much.

Emma's parents had made mistakes as she had. Fate couldn't be so cruel as to punish them for it now? Reunite them only to break the Charmings apart. Snow had to be right; that faith would work things out. That they'd find each other once more. That hope was the only thing keeping Emma sane. It had to come true.
