When Snow released Emma from the embrace, there were tears in her eyes. She was so happy for her daughter. Now Emma was going to be able to have a second chance, something she never got to do. Snow never watched Emma grow up, and that was her biggest regret in life. But she couldn't do anything about it. Now Emma has another shot at raising another kid, something she never had the chance to do with Henry, and Snow realized how much she wanted to be by her daughter's side throughout this whole new phase in her life.

Snow wiped away a tear, a smile forming on the corners of her mouth. Emma stood there, watching her mother cry, which was rare. The only other times that Emma saw her mother crying was when she wasn't even her mother, but Mary Margaret during the curse, and again when the curse was broken and they were reunited. Emma sighed.

"Hey, it's alright," Emma said as she placed a hand on Snow's shoulder. She could feel her relax a little on contact. Snow smiled.

"I know, and I'm so happy for you and Neal." Snow said, looking at Emma. She meant it from the bottom of her heart too. Snow always wanted what was best for her daughter, no matter the consequences, and now Emma was finally going to be getting a second chance at being a mother. Henry was going to have a younger sister, and everything was going to be alright. Then a question came back to Snow, that she meant to ask Emma before.

"Wait. Does Neal know the baby is a girl?" Snow asked, concerned. Emma bit her bottom lip, and shifted her gaze to the ground. Oh no, Snow thought to herself.

"Well, not technically…" Emma began. She met Snow's eyes, which were wide with surprise.

"And when were you planning on telling him?" Snow asked, her voice now a harsh whisper. Emma shifted her weight to the other foot.

"I was going to tell him soon, okay?" Emma reassured Snow. Which was true. She was going to announce to the family that the baby was a girl before Snow decided to talk to Emma alone. Snow sighed in relief.

"Good." Snow said, relaxing a little. Emma smiled sheepishly.

"I think we can head back to the table now, what do you say?" Emma asked. Snow nodded her head.

"Right. Let's go back. We don't want the men to worry too much," Snow said as she chuckled to herself. Emma couldn't help but laugh a little with her, as they headed back to the table.


After their little talk, Emma and Snow went back to the table. Even then, Emma was still a little uneasy for some reason. Maybe it was just the fact that no one expected her to have another child, or even the fact that she and Neal would be back together. Either way, Emma knew that they had made the right decision and that they were going to get through this together and everything would be alright. Emma took in a deep breath as she sat back down next to Neal. The boys had just finished telling some sort of funny story, because Neal was wiping his eye, and he was still laughing. Charming looked like he was trying to keep his laughter under control, but couldn't, and Henry was laughing only a little. Emma was confused.

"Neal, what did you tell them?" She asked her husband, raising both of her eyebrows. Neal looked over at Emma, and smirked. He stretched his arms out and placed his hands behind his head, leaning back in his chair.

"I was just telling your dad about how we met." Neal said. Emma could feel her face blush. She remembered when they first met like it was yesterday.

"Oh no….you didn't tell them about-" Emma started before she was cut off by Neal.

"I most certainly did!" He said and started laughing again. Emma slapped him.

"NEAL!" She said, a little embarrassed. Neal snorted at her reaction.

"It was part of the story! I couldn't leave it out," He said, winking. Emma sighed in frustration.

"Looks like someone's going to be sleeping by himself tonight," Emma said, glaring at Neal.

"Hey that's not fair!" Neal whined with a big pout and puppy eyes. He continued to stare at Emma like that for a while, until Emma started to laugh.

"Fine. But no more jokes okay? Because I need to announce something right now that's sort of some big news." Emma said as she looked over at Snow, who nodded her head. Neal looked at Emma, somewhat confused.

"I thought we just told them the big news." He said in a low voice.

"There's more," Emma said. She cleared her throat and turned her attention back over to her parents, who were waiting in anticipation. Snow already knew what the news was about, but Charming had no idea what was coming. "The other news is that the baby is a girl." Emma said. Neal's eyes grew wide. This was the first time he heard about this.

"A girl?" Neal asked Emma.

"A girl." Emma said, nodding her head. She could tell by the way Neal was looking at her, that he wasn't too happy about just hearing this news today…
