It was ironic knowing that Emma Swan used to be lonely and alone, but ever since she blew out that birthday candle she never regretted it once even if it lead to her death. It gave her, her parents, her son ,and her love back and soon Emma Swan the lonely orphan turned bail bonds woman wasn't lonely anymore...

She had all these people who now cared about her, she just wished she had this growing up. Most importantly she wished she had her parent's with her the whole time, or even at least knew why they left her.

"I remember the very first day Emma Swan had come into this town, she rode up in her little beat up yellow bug with Henry in the passenger's seat in this exact spot where we are today. Emma touched this town and it's people in many ways, whether it was when she spoke to us on the street, at grannies, or even when we called in a complaint at the sheriff's station she was always willing to help everyone no matter what because she knew..she knew in her heart it was right" Archie was speaking in front of everyone, which was the whole town.

They were all in chairs and black clothing, most with tissues and tear on their faces. Emma's family sat in the front row of chairs, Snow and David were crying and snow was in sobs. Henry was leaning on his father's shoulder crying into it, Neal was silently crying holing onto him. Regina and Hook held hands and sat there in their memories of Emma with saddened expressions and slight tears in their eyes.

The dwarfs all had their hats off ad saddened faces, grumpy was crying for his god-daughter. Red and Granny were crying as well, Red cried and didn't care who saw she grieved the friend she had as Ruby and the god-daughter she had started to slowly get to know.

Snow stared at the open casket that contained her and David's daughter, she sobbed even more as she did. She tried to look away but it hurt more when she tried, Emma looked peaceful lying there in a beautiful black dress fitting her body shape well.

Emma's hair had been done by Red and Snow, Snow had placed snow drops in her daughter's hair like she would have done when her little girl was child. It had brought many tears between the two as they did her hair,then after they were done Snow had broken down.

David couldn't believe that Emma was dead at first, he denied it. He would say that Emma was down at the station or out-of-town but never said she was dead, until he touched her cold face. David had started crying with Snow one night after seeing Emma's body he approached her in bed and said "Our little girls gone" they held onto each other that night and cried themselves asleep.

"Little by little she came apart of our town..she became part of our family..a family she never had in her life and that is why we are here today. To honor a courageous and brave woman who died an unfair death, by a demon. For these reason I think that you all deserve the right to know exactly how she died. Emma Swan our sheriff and Savior was taken from us by the cruelest monster that I am relieved to say is no more, the board of council of the town does not wish me to tell you this, but not to do say would be a cruel insult to her memory"

"The pain we all feel from this horrible loss, reminds us that even when she may not be her in person she will always be with us in our hearts and this town known as Storybrooke. We are here to not say goodbye but see you soon, to Emma Swan because we will. Thank You, I would now like to ask Emma's mother Snow to come to the stand. Snow" Archie looked to Snow knowing this was going to be the most difficult for her and David, even Neal and sadly Henry.

Snow gripped David's hand once more before bringing herself to slowly stand shakily, and walk over to the podium near the casket.

Snow breathed in and out, she looked to David than Neal then Henry her grandson the only thing she had left of her daughter.

Snow released another lone tear down her face before speaking into the microphone. "I remember the very first time I looked upon my daughter's face, she had a little tuft of blonde hair and my eyes and she was perfect. She had looked up at me and then grabbed my finger with the littlest hand with a firm grip not wanting to let go, but I knew...that I had to give her, her best chance. I just wish I could have held her in my arms longer, seen her grow up, been there for her first steps and words, been her mother and protected her from all of those bastards that ever hurt her. I always wanted what any mother wants for their child, happiness..even if it was short-lived I am happy that she got it from this amazing town and it's people here today. I will never forget her, my little baby girl..my Emma..our Emma" Snow was full on sobbing when she had finished, David had stood up quickly with tears on his own face knowing his wife wouldn't have made it back to her chair alone. The town watched the heartbroken parent's, no judged them not one bit..they all knew they didn't deserve this especially Emma herself.

Archie had stood up to the podium once more finishing up, he had tears on his eyes behind his glasses as he spoke once more "Emma Swan was a beloved Daughter, Mother, Girlfriend, Friend, Listener, Hero, Sheriff and most of all everyone's Savior. Emma we all love you, and your memory will live on for many lifetimes to come. We dedicate the town's clock tower in her memory, for she will always be a part of this town and it's people" They had placed a bronze plaque with her name on it saying' in loving memory of the storybrooke's Savior'.

Everyone waited outside the hospital room with clear window's, Snow and David were looking in through the glass looking in on Whale perform an examination on Emma. Emma was dressed in a hospital light blue shirt and sweat pants sitting on the bed as Whale checked her over, Emma just stared at her parents blankly and confused.

Snow and David stared longingly towards Emma glancing at Whale's expressions as he performed the examination. The people who came with them to find Emma in the street were there plus people who saw them and heard such as the dwarfs, Henry was with Neal at the time and was told that Emma was found alive in the middle of town.

Whale wrote down things on his clip board as he finished examining Emma, Emma had said nothing since they had found her alive. It was like she was there but wasn't there, Emma would flinch when Whale touched her during his exam.

Whale had checked her over, they had patched up her scrapped up splintered bleeding hands; they also checked her vitals and had her hooked up to monitors. They haven't determined what had caused her hands to be like that yet, Emma had been given a bath by the staff and never complained or made a noise.

Emma at the current moment was sitting on the hospital bed in the room staring at Snow and David and nothing else with confusion and curiosity, she wasn't staring at them because they were her parents she was staring at them because she noticed these people were the only one's deeply concerned for her.

Whale scribbled down his signature on his clipboard filling out paperwork, he looked at Emma with a unbelieving relieved look which she didn't even notice. Whale then turned to look to Snow and David, Whale started to walk towards the door which caught the attention of Emma.

Emma looked at Whale leaving she saw him go outside the glass doors from the room she was in, Emma slowly stood up and walked over to the glass windows that showed outside the hospital watching the wires didn't pull as she did so. Emma watched as the sun slowly rose in the horizon, she glanced at the bright light that made her feel normal for a quick second which soon faded.

Whale went outside to speak to them, he had to after knowing what they had suffered...what they all suffered. Snow and David basically clung to him wanting to know about there not so dead daughter. Whale noticed at the sight of him out of the room the whole group who had brought Emma to the hospital rose from their chairs to listen to him all concerned and confused.

Whale noticed they formed a circle near him waiting for him to speak, and he did. "I can only go on what I found, it is a mystery to me and the staff as to how this is physically possible"

David spoke to Whale looking in through the glass door's behind the doctor as he spoke "Has she said anything about what happened?"

Whale moved his head left to right sighing before speaking to the concerned father "No, she hasn't said anything at all. I think you should all prepare yourselves, since certain events that have happened..the Emma that is here with us may not be the one you lost" Snow was still looking into the door of Emma's hospital room not taking her sights of her daughter as she listened to Dr. Whale, when he finished Snow reached her shaking hand and slowly opened the glass door.

She slipped into the room with David following her, Emma stood in front of the glass windows looking outside at the town. David and Snow slipped their hands together, as they walked closer to their daughter. The group stood outside the glass doors watching them.

Emma kept staring out the window which projected the outside,noticing the sky turned blue and she could see a town and buildings.

Snow made the first move "Emma?" Snow called out in a whisper with unshed tears in her eyes, which was mirrored in David's eyes.

Emma slowly turned around at the name, that people had been calling her. She knew it was her name, not because these people called her it..it felt right especially when the woman who looked at her with so much love and sadness when she met her said it.

Emma looked at the man and woman who stared at her like she was the most precious thing in the world, Emma was confused as to why these people stared at her like that and acting in a certain way.

Emma didn't know what to say so she did the only thing her mind processed as a greeting, she stuck out her hand towards them. Snow and David stared at the hand in confusion, why did she stick out her hand didn't she know who they were.

Emma felt like she could trust these people with her life and that they meant safety, so she tried to speak.

"I..I..know..my name..is Emma..,but..who are..you?" she had trouble speaking, a bit.

Snow and David's eyes teared up even more, she didn't remember them at all. Snow braved it not caring how Emma reacted she would say it.

"I'm your mom" Snow told Emma, who looked at her with confusion than acceptance on her face. David knew he had to say it too, or Emma wouldn't know. "and I'm your dad" Emma didn't say anything, but didn't display disbelief or anger so they waited to see what would happen.

"Hi" At this one single word David reached out and took Emma extended hand in his and pulled her into a hug towards him and Snow. They hugged her with tears on their faces, they held her in their arms. The people outside started to cry happy tears as they watched this happen.

Emma didn't know what was happening but she let her body instinctively slowly lift her arms to attempt to hug them back, which eventually happened. Snow and David felt Emma's arms hug them back which made tear up more, they stayed hugging for a while until David pulled Snow from Emma after she had trouble letting go.

"Am I...staying...here, I..feel..." Emma sad plainly not looking at them glancing around the room. "There just keeping you over night for observation, then you will be discharged"

"What will happen when I'm discharged?"

David placed his hands on Snow shoulder's as they looked at their daughter, she was confused and lost. She actually needed them, unlike before. Whale was right, the Emma they lost was not the one that had returned.

"You'll come Home with us of course"

"Home?"

"Yes, Emma Home" Snow lead Emma over to the hospital bed, Emma only sat on the bed which was followed by Snow while David sat in the chair that reclined. Emma sat next to Emma trying to talk with her, she learned that Emma didn't remember anything only that her name was Emma which she didn't even remember people had called her that.

David went outside to tell the other's about Emma, that she doesn't remember anything including them. It was like she was given a fresh start, a do over.

As David was talking to the group of friends, there was a commotion starting outside in the hall coming from the reception desk and headed towards them. Very quickly Neal was moving quickly holding Henry's hand, this alerted David knowing that Neal would try to go straight in that room not knowing that she didn't remember him or anything.

David quickly made through the group as they moved for him knowing what he was doing, David quickly stopped Neal by pushing him back with a saddened frown on his face. Neal persisted he tried to get passed David and shove him away to get to Emma, Neal was pissed he had tears on his face and looked like hasn't had any sleep in a long time. He had looked the same at the funeral, he had tears streaming down his face and kept trying to get a glimpse past the people into the glass door room where Emma was.

Henry held his father's hand, he noticed his dad and grandpa's conflict so he let go of his dad's hand after getting a glimpse of him mom part of the crowd in front to the room his mom was in. He ran up to her and she wrapped her arms around him bringing him close sniffling her tears, Henry had some tears on his face as well. His dad had received a phone call causing him to drop the phone and tell him that his mom 'Emma' was alive.

Neal pushed David as he tried to get past, David was helping Neal from freaking out Emma by rushing in there when she didn't even know who he is. Neal actually got past David, because David was exhausted and plain tired, Neal pushed past him pissed at David from keeping him from Emma. David called out to him in a pained voice "She doesn't remember anyone or anything" Neal turned around at this looking at David, Neal then his made his way quicker through the crowd, then he saw her.

She sat on that hospital bed with Snow holding one of her hands, rubbing circles upon it speaking what looked to be softly. Emma stared at her, then felt a connection someone she felt an aching for deep in her heart. Emma touched her chest then looked to the window's, there she saw a man who was staring at her with a crestfallen expression tears in his eyes, and a black box in his right hand he was fingering.

Neal breathed against the glass feeling the same feeling within his heart at that same moment, and when their eyes met he felt a flutter their telling him that she still loved him, even though she did not remember him. It was still there and he would remind her, he smiled sadly at her knowing the fact that she was alive.

Now he needed her to fall in with him again, so he could get his Emma back.

Snow stared at Emma and Neal's small interaction, she wasn't blind everyone saw it. Snow watched as Neal then turned away from the glass doors away from the room behind the group of people outside. She soon heard small sobbing and her heart almost broke when she knew it was her grandsons cries, Henry peeked towards the room not catching the attention of Emma, but of Snow. Henry had tears on his face, then leaned into his dad as they started to walk away out of the hospital together.

David soon came in with the group who re- introduced themselves to her so she knew them from now on, they all smiled kindly at her and cried. Ruby and Grumpy hugged her, so did Regina. Killian and the rest of the dwarfs shook Emma's hand.

Later most went Home to actually sleep and not cry, some still cried but happy tears. Emma laid on the outside of the blankets on the hospital bed with Snow sitting at the foot of the bed and David sitting in the chair. Snow patted her leg gently showing a comforting sign to her daughter, Emma looked towards her in confusion wide awake.

It was night-time once more outside the hospital and town, Snow wanted to see if Emma slept. She wanted to see how she would react. "Why don't you get some sleep, aren't you tired" Snow asked her with concern studying Emma's face for any sign of something or reaction worried.

Emma shook her head at the question knowing that she couldn't sleep, she stared at the window where the black sky was visible outside.

"Why not, aren't you exhausted" Snow moved back some of Emma's hair, Emma lightly smiled at the affection but then her smile returned to a straight line.

"Can't I see myself in the.." Emma mumbled to Snow who then understood why Emma was scared. Snow understood, she looked sadly to Emma's hands which were bandaged. Emma moved them slightly under the blanket, Snow gestured to them while speaking "Can I see?" Emma hesitantly took them out from under the blanket, Snow took Emma's hands in hers and looked at them.

She soon did something Emma didn't expect, she kissed her hands. Snow then placed them down holding them in her's.

"You had to crawl out of it didn't you that's why your hands are.." Emma just nodded, Snow let a tear seep out of the thought of Emma waking up alive in a coffin scared in a confined space no way out but to claw her way out for air.

Snow looked to Emma's hands, then to Emma's face with a silent promise. "It's all going to be okay, your home" Emma looked her in the eyes, for a second just like she used to and saw the truth behind her words.

Snow smiled, Emma was still in there and she was going to help her come out. If it took another twenty-eight years, she would do it. Her baby girl was alive, and she was going to be her mother more than ever before just like David was going to be her father.

It was a fresh start for all of them
