Emily Wyatt woke up in her bed at the group home she was at. She was currently in Boston, but was told she could be adopted any day. She is 13 right now, turning 14 tomorrow, and has been through it all. The beatings from foster parents, the rejection, the starvation. She had every reason to give up, but didn't. She moved on and she fought and she is doing well. Her social worker, Olivia, was at the front door. Emily grabbed her jacket and said goodbye to her friends. Gabriela, Annie, and Lilith were sad to see her go, but knew it was for the best. She said goodbye to her caretaker Eugenia and left with Olivia.
Emily was sitting in an office for the agency. She hasn't been there much, but some things never change. Olivia was talking on the phone with someone, while Emily was drawing. She was sketching out this crazy dream she had last night. These two women were her mothers and she ad a brother. She had magic and was able to use it. She had some friends and a boyfriend. She was also a warrior and a princess with a huge family. She seemed happy then. She was almost done drawing one of her mother's as Olivia called for her. Emily walked to her and was silently led into a room with two women and a boy.
"Emily, I would like you to meet the family that wants to adopt you. This is Emma and Regina with their son Henry."
"Hi."
"Hello, Emily. We are so glad that we are adopting you. Would you like to come to our house?"
Emily nodded and walked behind her new "family" to a black Mercedes and a yellow Volkswagen bug. Emily got in the Mercedes, as well as the women she was assuming was Regina because she acted to regal as her name suggests. Emma and Henry got into the bug and dove off. The first few minutes were filed with silence, until Regina spoke.
"I heard this is you first time going to Maine."
"Yes."
"I am sure you will love it there."
Emily was silent. She was an incredibly shy person. She rarely would speak out during her classes. Her grades were great to her standards and she was called an athletic nerd. Her slim body was perfect for sports and she was top of her class. She had been running and swimming when she could. The ride continued in silence before it was sundown and the stars came out. Emily loves astronomy, so then she started to open up. Emily was speaking out loud about all the constellations and planets out that night. Regina listened, though she had no idea what Emily was talking about. They got to Storybrooke in no time after the stars. They pulled up to the mansion driveway and Emily stared wide-eyed at it. It was huge, not like big house, but like huge enough to have servants if they wanted to.
"Come along, Emily. I think you would like to get settled in you new room. Tomorrow I am going to take you shopping, so you can decorate it yourself." Emily went inside and it was grand scale opening. Se followed Regina to the bedroom that was going to be hers. It was also big and she would get to decorate it.
"Thank you so much."
"It was no trouble, dear. We are glad that you are going to a part of our family."
"Sorry about being so quiet. I'm just not used to having people look about for me."
"It's fine dear. I have a feeling you'll warm up to us."
And that she did. The next week was a little awkward, but by the time school started again, Emily had been completely involved in family life. Regina showed Emily around the town and around her office space. Emily found that it was a very nice and simple town to live in. Emily started school and was getting the highest scores she could. Regina noticed this and asked if she could be moved up another grade. Emily was much more at home then. She was actually learning and was still getting good grades. Henry is now a grade above her, but sometimes asks for help on his homework. Emily has been doing so much around the town. She has volunteered at the animal shelter, library, diner, hospital, school, even at the city hall. She did not go to the Sheriff's station often, unless it was to eat lunch with Emma. Emily was told to never go near the pawnshop, so she avoided it like the plague. She was curious as to why, but didn't want to upset her family.
One day, Emily decided to rebel a little and went into the pawnshop. She was then greeted by this old man wearing a suit. "Hello, dearie, I am Mr. Gold. Is there anything you were looking for?"
"No, sir. I was just looking around. I have never been in here before and I wanted to see what you had."
"Well, I have many things. I collect rare items. I didn't get you name."
"My name is Emily."
"Emily, what a lovely name. I think I might have something for you." Mr. Gold walked to the back and came back with four vials of some liquid. "These are for you and your mothers. The fourth one can be given to Regina after she drinks it. You might want to place it in their food or drink to mask the aftertaste."
"Okay. Thanks, but I don't know why I would need these."
"You will see. Now you should get home to your family."
"How did you know who my family was?"
"I know many things. Have a nice day."
"You too." Emily ran home to make up for her slight detour. She arrived home in time and since she already finished all her homework, she was planning on helping with dinner later. Regina arrived home at exactly 5 and started dinner. Emily was making the salad, when she sprinkled the three vials into the salad. Emma ate the salads because Regina told her too, while Henry would eat some other form of vegetable. Regina ate salad because that was all she really ate. Dinner was served and they all ate. Once the salad was gone, the magic started to take effect. Henry had gone to his room to finish reading a comic book or finish his video games. All three women gained back their memories from their past life.
"Mom? Ma? What happened? I remember leaving the two of you."
"You did. This is another version of us, hence why you are younger and aren't the dark one," Regina said.
"I missed you."
"So did we. How did this happen"
"It looks like Rumple kept his promise. He gave me the memory potion. I also have another vial for you to replicate to give to other people."
"I see. Well, I am glad that you did break a rule this time. I love you, sweetie."
"I love you, too, moms. I will love you for all my lives."
A/N: That is the end to my fan fiction. This was the first time I have ever published a story, so I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks again for the support. If you have any suggestions, I am more than happy to look at them. -HW
