They Never Took the Test
Chapter 4
" She's only 19."
Emma blinked once, twice, three times before uttering a word "I'm 9 years older than my mother."
It wasn't a question, but Ruby felt she needed to answer anyway, "Yeah, I'm sorry Emma, to tell you all this so quickly,"
Emma shook her head, "It's not your fault," Emma looked Ruby in the eyes, "Where do they live?" she asked seriously.
"Carmela Peters lives on, guess what, 222 Middle Street. Jenna Carter lives on 133 Ginger Rd, and Emma?" Ruby said softly, eyeing her warily.
"Yeah?"
" This is going to sound ridiculous, but just… don't kill them, either of them. I know I sound crazy, but sometimes I thought you were going to kill people, mainly Gold and Regina, and we all understand that, but still, I want to have some sort of promise." Ruby said, somewhat sheepishly.
Emma smirked, " Okay, I promise, I wont kill anyone, now I need to find at least one of them so I have to go," She replied, tossing a five dollar bill on the table and walked out of the diner.
Emma sighed, nervously looking around for anyway out. She shook her head, and took a deep breath, her hand slowly rapping on the door of her mother's house. She waited a moment, which turned to two, and then three, she shrugged and began to walk down the driveway when the door opened. Emma turned around, her eyes widened, and she gave a small gasp, standing in the door way, was complete replica of her, just nineteen years old. Then Emma noticed something, their noses were different, the girls button nose didn't match her crooked one.
Emma slowly walked up to the girl, " Hi, I'm sure you've heard of me, I'm Emma Swan, the Sheriff, I'm here to ask you some questions."
"Oh!" The girl smiled, "Okay, if you're to ask me some questions, I'm sure you already know my name, Carmela Peters, or, you can call me Goldilocks!" She opened the door for Emma to come in.
Emma slowly walked in, " Thank you, most people normally slam the door on me now," she chuckled slightly.
Goldilocks gasped, " Oh how rude! Why would they do that?" she asked curiously, closing the door and motioning for Emma to sit in a chair, she on another.
Emma sat, giving a sad smile, " They don't want to lose a moment with their family,"
Goldilocks looked down, a tear obviously running down her cheek, " Ah, I understand," She paused, " I'm still looking for mine."
Emma gave a sad smile, " Actually, I had some questions about that."
Goldilocks looked up in surprise, " Really?! What do you know about them?"
Emma grimaced, " Quite a bit, at least about your daughter, but there are a few things I would still like to know,"
Goldilocks smiled, excited, "Of course! Shoot!"
Emma smiled nervously, " So what was your daughter's name? I only know her cursed one, uh, Lilah." Emma quickly lied.
Goldilocks smiled dreamily, " Her name was Aurelia, it means golden, me and Peter named her that because of her golden hair, like mine, and well, yours actually! She was so beautiful, me and Peter loved her to the end of Neverland and back, but we had to put her in a portal and send her here, because of the curse." Goldilocks was crying now.
Emma smiled sadly, but then a thought hit her, " You mentioned a Peter, and Neverland, could you mean Peter Pan?"
Goldilocks looked up and smiled sadly, "Yes, he was her father,"
Emma gasped, her eyes wide, she stood up suddenly, "What?!" she shrieked.
Goldilocks stood up in fear, " Is something wrong?" she asked nervously.
" Of course something's wrong, you mean to tell me my father is fricking Peter Pan?!" Emma's eyes widened when she realized what she said, her hand flew to her gaping mouth.
Goldilocks stared at her, her mouth gaping like a fish, "Wha-what?" she finally croaked out.
Emma winced, " Yeah, about that...I am your daughter, Dr. Whale was curious about me and Snow White and Prince Charming's relationship, so he tested us. These are the results," Emma handed the report to Goldilocks, who's eyes widened considerably. She then held the paper back out to Emma, who folded it back up and slipped it into her pocket. " So, I'm guessing you have some questions right?"
Goldie let out a dry laugh, " Yeah! First though, how are YOU handling this?"
Emma tilted her head,with a puzzled look and shrugged, " I don't know actually, just shocked. I mean, there's the whole fiasco of telling Snow and Charming, who will definitely freak out on me, and then there's telling Henry, who will probably cry, and I don't how he'll exactly act, then there's Jenna Carter, the amnesiac daughter of Snow and Charming, who I've never met, and then there's the whole town, and Regina and Gold are going to flip out entirely which will be slightly funny, especially with Regina, but then it'll get terrifying."
Goldilocks smiled sadly, " I'm sorry about all of this, wou-would you mind if I came along to meet Snow, Charming, and Henry? I would seriously enjoy meeting the people who were your supposed parents, and I'm guessing Henry is your son, so meeting my grandson would be nice as well." Goldilocks smiled and laughed, shaking her head," Boy, I'm a grandmother at nineteen years old! That sound really weird,"
Emma laughed, " It really does sound weird! Of course you can come! That would amazing, actually, I kind of needed some support on this, and they all were going to want you to meet them anyways, so this works out perfectly!"
Goldilocks smiled, '"Great! Call me when to come over!"
Emma smiled nervously, " I was actually going to go over right now, would you like carpool?"
Goldilocks grinned, " Of course! I would love to Aure- Emma," she looked down in shame, " Sorry,"
Emma pursed her lips, standing up, "Its fine, you can call me either, and honestly, I actually prefer the name Aurelia over Emma."
Goldilocks stood up, gasping slightly, " You do?"
Emma smiled, "It's a beautiful name," she looked around slightly embarrassed, " We should be going, probably."
Goldilocks smiled, " Yes we should, Aurelia" the name rolled off her tongue as she held the door open for Emma.
Emma smirked, and walked through the door, to her car, " You can call me that for now, but once we get to my par- Snow and Charming's house, you're going to have to call me Emma," she quietly cursed under her breath, hoping that Goldilocks hadn't caught her slip up.
Goldilocks smiled sadly, she had definitely caught it, but she couldn't blame her daughter, both of them had just found out today. " Okay," she opened the door to he car and slipped inside, mirroring her daughter.
