One shot from Broken, David's POV.

David Nolan had made the decision, he had to leave Storybrook, leave the people he had hurt. Time to start new in Boston.

He wasn't far from reaching the end of town when the wave went through him. Slamming the brakes just in time.

It felt like he had been asleep for so long, having one of those dreams that seemed to real that you had to wake up from checking it hadn't happened. Only this time it had. Snow! He needed to fine her right now.

Once he had reached the town's Main Street he was trying to look everywhere all at once, this had been where he last saw her she couldn't have gone far.

That's when he saw he looking confused walking aimless around. "Snow!"

"Charming?" She whispered his name in wonderment. Hearing that from her again he felt whole. Running towards her they finally reached each other. David couldn't stop looking at her, not being able to believe that this was Snow he was holding.

"You found me." She had repeated the same words from when he had woken her up from the glass coffin.

Smiling slightly "did you ever doubt I would." He could barley get his words out.

At the same time they pulled each other into kiss, it was soft loving, it had been far too long since he.. Charming had kissed his wife. He moved his hand to cup Snow's face to pull her closer. David was still afraid that he would wake up and find out that this was a dream.

When they final broke away from the kiss he kept her close. He watched as Snow's smile disappeared from her face. "What's wrong Snow."

"Emma." The one name was a statement.

David understood the look on her face now, remembering the blond woman who as David Nolan had only a few conversations with her and they weren't pleasant.

"Oh no... we need to go and see if Henry is ok. I can't believe I left her there ." As Mary Margaret she had walked away from the hospital being to weak, and not being able to cope with staying.

Now David was confused who was Henry? "Regina's son why do we need to see him."

"You don't know.. Henry isn't Regina's son, Regina adopted him. He is Emma's son David, our grandson."

This was too much to take in, the baby he had held in his arm, protected from Regina's army, was now a grown woman, who didn't like him and to top it off had a son of her own. It then hit him how much they had missed, everything he looked forward to was gone. And now he had a grandson for crying out loud. Not that was bad thing just one more thing he hasn't been around for.

In the mist of his growing sadness he failed to notice the purple cloud moving towards them at great speed. "Charming!" Snow woke him out of his thoughts and he grabbed on to her pulling her close he was not going lose her again.

When the fog finally cleared he looked around them. Wondering if it had changed anything. He wasn't going to lie, there was a small part of him the was hoping it would take them back home. Looking back at Snow she was worried, David knew he had to be strong for her.

"What's happening?"

"Let's go and find out."

Walking off they ran into Granny and Red then the Dwarfs. Forgetting his sadness for a moment, jut being happy to see that his closes friends were ok and greeting all of them.

That was when he heard Red ask what were they were going to do now.

There was a lot to be done in this town he knew that however there was only one thing that was on his mind, David knew his duty, but his duty as a father and apparently now a grandfather was going to come first.

As usual his thoughts were the same as Snow's "Now, now I find my daughter." She looked over at Charming. From the look Snow gave him, she knew he was also thinking the same thing.

"So it's true?" Came a voice behind them.

David turned, this was Emma, his Emma. She was so grown up, but at that moment the look on her face was childlike. It must be a lot for her to taken in. All David wanted to do was to hold her, tell her everything is going to be ok. They were here now.

He could feel his eyes tearing up. Looking at her taking her in, she looked like Snow, but he could also see himself in her. Emma was the perfect combination of both of them just like he imagined.

The wave of sadness hit him so hard as he watched Snow go forward to cup Emma's puzzled face in her hands. Would he be able to do that, she didn't like David Nolan, that didn't bode well for Charming. But he wanted to hold his daughter so much.

Snow pulled Emma into her holding on to her tightly, similar to how David held her earlier.

David needed to be close to them. He moved forward slowly giving Emma plenty opportunity to tell him where to go. Nothing was said so taking the next step he place his hand on Emma's head, then he couldn't hold back any longer.

He finally was holding his daughter, not caring that she was now 28 years old, she was still his little girl and he would make it up to her. Emma deserved to know that she was loved by her parents.

David lost track of time of how long they stood there holding each other, it didn't feel long enough though. Until he heard the kid's voice.

"Grandpa?"

Snow started laughing, with everything going on he guess he could see the funny side to this.

"Yeah kid guess I am." He pulled Henry toward him instantly love filled him. He was certainly a good surprised. They were a family, an odd on but a family none the less.

This is going to work, they were together now, anything could be faced.

What was that saying about famous last words...
