Mother Knows Best

The next morning Emma woke up in a terror. However she wasn't fully awake. She was twisting and turning in her blankets. Then she let out a scream. Snow heard her, leaped from her bed and ran upstairs. Snow and David had decided that they would take turns taking care of her whenever she needed them. Though Snow would take over David's turn if it was a girly thing. This time though was her turned. She wanted to go first since David spent a few weeks with her. She got to her bed side and tried to wake her.

"Em it is okay, mama is here. " She said gently. Emma jerked back and forth until she managed to throw the blanket off. Snow realized she was having a night terror. She had to keep herself strong for her daughter but all she wanted to do was cry. She quickly sat down and pulled Emma in her arms, trying to keep her still. She rocked her back and forth. " Come back to me sweetie, please. " Snow said softly.

"No! No! I don't want to leave! Don't make me go!" Emma suddenly screamed. Snow held to hold back a cry. She hated to see her daughter like this. She stroked her cheek.

"Oh Em, it is okay. We are not sending you pack. I promise you will stay with us forever. " She said and finally something snapped in Emma. She jerked awake and looked up. She looked confused but then buried her face in her mother's arm and cried. Snow held her tight until she knew she was okay. Emma back away from her a little and sat up straight.

"Sorry about that.." She trailed off. Snow kissed her cheek and gave her a soft smile.

"Em you have nothing to be sorry about. You are our daughter, we are your parents. We love you and we are not sending you no where. That's a promise, Emma. You hear me. Never again. " Snow said and pulled her into another hug again. "When did they start" She asked. Emma looked up and sighed.

" When I was three after the Swan's sent me back I started having them Every time I moved to another place I had one, I would dream of them sending me away and then they would. " She said sadly. Snow stroked her cheek and gave her a soft smile.

"Well you don't have to worry about going anywhere anymore. We will get through this together. Now how about you get dress so we can go shopping. " Snow said and Emma nodded before Snow walked out the door. She met up with Charming who she walked over to and hugged.

"How is she?" He asked but all Snow could do was cry. She finished crying and pulled her face back to look at him. He kissed her cheek.

" She is fine but she had a night terror. Because of us, Charming. She suffered because of us. We sent her through he wardrobe to give her, her best chance. I am starting to think we were wrong. " She said and sniffled. Charming sighed and nodded.

"I know Snow but think about it, if we didn't Regina would have killed her. And anyways we got her back. She is still young. Yeah we missed some milestones but she still has plenty more. I know why you two are going shopping today and I know that means a lot to you. So go ahead. " He said and she smiled. She gave him a kiss.

"You are right, Charming. I will go get dressed. " She said and headed off. When she finished getting dress, Emma came down. She hugged Charming with a smile.

"See you later Dad. " She said and walked over by her mom. Charming smiled. Each day it got easier for them. She would come closer soon enough. Snow walked out with Emma.

"Have fun you two!" He called as they left.

"Oh how cute, I can't wait to go shopping with my daughter. " a cruel voice came from behind him. He turned to see Cora standing a few feet behind him. His eyes widen. She came over and grabbed his shoulder and smirked. " You really thought you could beat me. Sorry dear that isn't how this works. So time for me to play a game. " She said and quickly flashed them both of the loft.

At Granny's

Regina walked inside Granny's in hopes to see Red. She sat down by the counter and waited for Red to come out. When she did, she noticed Regina right away and was about to leave. " Wait Red please just talk to me. " Regina said. Red turned and narrowed her eyes. She came over.

"I have nothing to say to you Regina, either order something or leave." Red said. Regina sighed. She knew she had to act fast.

"Red I came to see if I could spend time with Henry. No matter how you feel about me, I still love him. Please. " She said. She figured if Red trusted her with Henry, she could get her to trust her as well. Red looked at her and seem to think about it. As if right on time,Henry came in. He looked between his two moms. He wasn't sure what to say.

"Well if Henry wants you can take him to get ice cream while I try to finish up here. " Red said and left. She didn't want to say anything else. She was confused on her feelings right now and didn't trust herself to say anything else. Regina turned to Henry and smiled.

"Well Henry, what do you say. Do you want ice cream?" She asked as she stood up. Henry smiled and nodded. They both left out Granny's. All Regina knew was this was a fresh start.

At a little clothes shop

"First thing first we can speak to one of those ladies to get you measured. I am guessing a training bra but we need to make sure. " Snow said as Emma and her walked inside. She looked up and smiled.

"Thanks for taking me, mom... You don't know how much this means to me. " Emma said. Snow squeezed her shoulder and smiled. She just couldn't get enough of being called mom.

"Sweetie anything you need, you tell me. No matter what it is or how bad or good. Just remember that. Now let's find those ladies. " Snow said. Emma pointed to one of them. Snow walked over as the lady turned. Snow thought she seen the lady before but wasn't sure. She let the thought go. "Hello there I was wondering if you could help me with my daughter. She is trying to get her first bra. " Snow said as the lady smiled.

"Well hello there. I will be happy to help. My name is Jennifer. Come with me. " She said. The lady had long brown hair and blue eyes. Emma and Snow followed her. She pointed to a dressing room. " You can go in there and I will bring a few bras. " She told Emma. Emma listened and went inside. " You can go with her if you like to help her. " Jennifer said. Snow wasn't sure. She followed Emma.

"Um... honey do you want me to come with you?" Snow asked. Emma walked back and smiled. She took Snow's hand pulling her to the back. "I take that as a yes. " She said.

"Honestly I wanted to no because I am not used to anyone seeing me undressed. But I know how important this is for you and to be honest to myself it makes me very happy you want to help. " She explained. Snow kissed her head as Jennifer came in. She handed her a training bra and an A cup bra.

"Try these." She said. She left. Snow took the bras as Emma took her shirt off. Emma blushed when Snow looked but it didn't bother Snow. Emma didn't really have much chest so there wasn't much to look at. Then Snow chuckled which made Emma blush more.

"I am sorry, Em. I am not laughing at your chest, I am laughing because I was the same way at your age. So you took after me. It's one more thing we have in common. " She said as she unhook the bra and helped Emma put the training one on. It of course fit perfectly and no need for the other one.

" Mom, did other girls make fun of you because of it?" Emma asked as she took the bra off and put her shirt on. Snow thought about it and nodded.

"Well you see we didn't get undress like in a gym locker room like you do because we didn't exactly have that but when I was your age I had sleep overs and one time the girls that slept over made fun of me. But nothing to worry yours will come in soon. Now come on Em let's check out. " Snow said as they walked out. They walked by the lady and handed her the bra.

"Let's get you checked out. " She said. Before anyone else could say something, Killian ran into the shop. He was breathing heavily. Snow looked wide eyed. Killian was supposed to be with Red. What was he doing here?

"Emma! I've been looking for you-" He cut off his words when he noticed the women. He had to grab a counter to keep from falling when he realized who it was. When she heard his voice she looked up and she had the same expression as him. She ran around the counter as he ran toward her. "Mom!" He screamed. She grabbed him and hug him.

"Wait... Killian.. this is your mother?" Emma asked. Her and Snow walked over as the two of them released each other. Killian nodded as tears fell down his face.

"I thought you were dead... dad... said.. " Killian trailed off. Jennifer wiped his face and held him once more.

" I wasn't dead. Your father kidnapped you and your brother. I looked for you all over. Then I heard where you were. I heard about your brother... then the cursed hit and I was sent here.. How did you get here?" She asked. He looked at Emma.

"Her and her father fell through a portal into our land then I helped them get back here so they took me with them... oh my Emma! I forgot why I came... your father he is missing.. I went to your loft because I couldn't find Henry and then I noticed your father was gone..." Killian said. It didn't take but a second for Snow, Emma, Killian and even Jennifer to run out the shop, looking for Charming.
