Chapter 4
She had the nose in the wretched paper, but without being really concentrated on what she did. She contented with making act of presence what gave to her body a moment of respite with regard to all the alcohol which she gulped down as soon as she went back at the Regina's home where she had taken up residence from now. Anyway it was not as if this city was gangsters' mark.
Every day his father tried in vain to begin the dialogue, but without much success. He had eventually given up hoping that one day he would eventually have her daughter back, the one who had fallen in their arms by coming back from her trip in the past.
- I take my afternoon off. Anyway there is not much to make, she says to his father while she already went towards the exit.
While she crossed the doorstep she came face to face with Robin.
- Hello Emma!
-Hi! She answered without even to raise the head while continuing to move forward.
Suddenly she felt somebody caught her arm to hold her.
- I… I'd want to talk you.
She looked up her interlocutor. What did he want her? She had taken care of avoiding Robin and his family since her back. To see them reminded her ceaselessly that because of her Regina had left, because she had not listened to warnings of Hook.
- Sorry, I am in a hurry …
- Only two minutes.
She sighed and waited…
- I didn't have the opportunity to thank you for having to back Marianne near Roland and me.
- You're welcome; she quickly answered by walking to the exit.
She needed air and that became urgent. But Robin had not ended and got in her way.
- Look Emma I know that you feel bad for Regina, but …
- Did you love her?
-Wh…what?
- Did you love her? You were together before I return you your wife!? She looked at him straight in the eyes waiting for an answer.
- That's not the question!
- Yes it is… then?
- Yes… yes I loved her but at this moment I didn't know that she was responsible of my wife's dead, he said angry. If I had known it I would never have approached this woman except to pierce her heart. I am satisfied whether she is not any more in this city. We are finally cleared of the evil queen and everybody …
He didn't manage to end his sentence; a violent punch had just sent flying him on the ground.
- But what you believe? That you are all as pure as the driven snow? You are supposed to be the kind persons but no one of you didn't try to understand her, to understand where from came her rage and her anger. On the contrary you pushed her a little more in the quest of vengeance. If only one of you had really shown her that she could still be entitled to the happiness. If only …
- She's a murderer Emma! Robin shouted. She is the Evil Queen and she always will!
Emma tightened fists until feel the nails pierced the palm of the hands.
- She saved this town more than once. I don't know your evil queen, I only know Regina. A woman who had her part of sufferings, and who is the mother of my son!
She needed a glass. She went out of the sheriff's office by running colliding quite hard Hook. Please, not him, she thought.
- I'm glad to see that you're alive Swan.
- …
- Why you avoid me? It seems to me that we had finally found our cruising speed both, he asked slowly while caressing her cheek.
- I… I don't have… look I'm not in a good mood. Sorry! She says with a touch of sadness in the voice.
- Don't let me out of your life Emma. I can help you!
- Really? So… explain me.
- Explain what?
- Why anybody doesn't want to forgive Regina her errors of past while everybody forgave yours and those of Gold?
She stared the pirate's eyes, waiting desperately for an answer, but all that she saw in the eyes was powerlessness. She passed over Hook, and drew her way towards the Granny's.

- Your name is Henry, right?
- …
- Hi! I'm Alex! So it's your baptism?
- ...
- I mean, It's your first time in this kind of center.
Henry shook his head.
- I am not supposed to say that, seen that we are supposed to hate finding themselves in the nick, even if it is not really a prison in its literal definition but finally well… what I mean it is that you fell in the best of the centers for the young people as we. The manager is really brilliant, severe but cool at the same time and she doesn't pretend to worry about us, she really does.
- You know her well?
- Who?
- The manager.
- It is my third time here, so… I can say yes.
- She is not very effective in her job if that makes already three times that you find yourself here.
-It is not her… it's just the life… my life actually, she answered
- How is she?
She looked at the young boy with curiosity.
- Why you are interested in her? You find her cute? The teenager made fun.
- Pfff…
- I can't blame you. You're right she is rather nice. But I'm sorry for you because I believe she already has someone.
Henry raised an inquiring eyebrow. His mother frequented somebody! The last person who had entered in the brunette's life was Robin for her biggest happiness and her biggest misfortune. In this thought his face showed a certain sadness which was badly interpreted by Alexandra.
- Shit then! You're really addicted!
Annoyed Henry got up to go to sit down in the room which seemed to be of use to the relaxation. There was a billiard table, a foosball as well as television.
- Hey! Wait!
- What do you want?
- Just getting to know you.
- Why me?
- Well… I find you rather cute and mainly because…
- Because what?
- I ask questions on you.
- …
- Take a look around you! We have nothing common with you. We are all lively cut-away diagrams and we carry the marks but you …
- Me what? He answered, annoyed by this girl a little bit too curious. .
- You are too… How can I say… too clean! The young girl says with a smirk.
-You don't even know me!
- True! But I know the young people as me and you are not one. I don't know what you hide nor why you made what you made to meet yourself here, but I just want to say to you that if you need a friend, I am there!
- I'd think about…
- By the way, Regina wants to see you in her office at 10:00 am this morning. Thus it stays in you five minutes. If I was you I would hurry because she hates that we are late, she says with a wink.

Emma waited patiently that Ruby brings her order.
- What is…RUBY! She shouted.
- What?
- What is that thing?
- Huh… Burger, french fries, and chocolate-cinnamon, the waitress answered.
- Where is my beer?
- I take care of you Emma! You hurt yourself and I want you to stop!
- I don't care! It is not your problem, you're not my mother!
- But I am!
Snow had just come in the restaurant. For sure it was not her day.
- We need to talk!
- I don't!
- Henry ran away!
- WHAT! WHEN?
- Since yesterday night apparently!
-And you tell me that only now! It's 10 am. Why didn't you notice it before? How you have …
- EMMA! Ruby shouted. It's not her fault. You forget she has a baby now… Besides we are Saturday, she's probably thought that Henry wanted to stay in bed longer.
- …
-The most important right now, it's to find him. We go all put ourselves in its search, continued Ruby.
-Not necessary. He is not in Storybrooke anymore! Emma says.
- How do you know that?
- Because he already did the same thing… four years ago… but this time he is left to search his foster mother, Emma says in a whisper.
A heavy silence settled down between three women, before Snow goes back on the word.
- What are you going to do?
- Nothing.
- Wh… How... How nothing?
- You have not understood yet. I lost him! It is finished he made his choice! Emma sobbed.
For the first time for a long time Snow embraced her daughter, caressing her hair. And for the first time for months Emma let go herself.
- Emma… Snow says with a soft voice, Henry needs you as he needs Regina. But for the moment it is a completely lost teenager. He is afraid Emma, afraid of losing his two moms because for months he is alone.
The blonde looked up her mother. She was right, Henry had lost them both for months and it was her fault.
-I really screw up all, huh?
- Not all! There is always a hope as long as you don't give up, Mary-Margareth answered by smiling. Leave! Find them Emma! They are your family, our family!
