People say its easy to forgive but not forget

but what if you can't do both?

It was almost 11 by the time Emma had arrived back home. She quietly put the key in the lock because, knowing Snow, there's a good chance that she was standing there with her arms across her chest with a stern look on her face. However, Emma didn't care, she didn't have the right to be mad at her. If anything, she have the right to be mad at her! Emma silently pushed open the door, prepared to see Snow, but to her surprise, she wasn't. 'She's not here? Thats the first' Emma thought to herself. She then quietly made her way upstairs. As she came up the last step, she looked down the hall where her parents' bedroom was then looked down where Henry's room was and saw that it appeared to be quiet. Seeing no point of hanging around, Emma began to head to her room.

"There's things in life Henry we have to be prepare to risk it all for that special someone"

Emma stopped suddenly when she heard the voice. She knew who's voice that was. It was Snow and it was coming from Henry's room. She quietly but quickly went up the stairs and headed to the direction of Henry's room. When she got there, she saw Snow's back facing her. She quickly spun around and quietly planted herself against the wall while hearing what those two were saying.

"I know that Grandma" Henry said with a smile. Snow couldn't helped but chuckle. "I know you do"

"But Grandma, does Emma know that?" Henry asked her honestly.

Snow looked a little surprise. "Hmm? Know what?"

"What?" Henry asked innocently. And on the other side, Emma was equally curious as well.

Snow looked sadly. "Know that I messed up big time"

"Or know that you and Gramps gave her the best chance too? That you basically gave up everything for her?" Henry questioned her.

Emma felt her breath hitched for a moment as she heard Snow sighed. She didn't care what Snow said about her but secretly, deep down in her heart, she wondered what Snow's gonna say. Snow straighten herself up a bit and grasped Henry's hand softly. She smiled at Henry and said in her confident yet regal voice.

"I never regretted the things I did back then, Henry, and someday I hope she will find it in her heart to forgive me and we can start over again. I know that I messed up my chance on being a mother to her so..." Snow had to find her voice before she continue. "So if hating me means that she still haves feelings towards me, I will gladly accept it over anything, I mean I love that girl and nothing or no one will ever change that"

Emma felt her eyes beginning to burn. She was about to say something till she realized that they don't know that she is not even there and that she was basically standing in front of the door. She quickly went back around the corner as Snow finished their conversation. "Well thats enough about your mother and me tonight, Henry, you get some rest and I'll see you tomorrow"

"Alright Grandma, good night" Emma heard Henry said then she heard footsteps coming towards her then they quietly fade.

After waiting a few moments, Emma quickly went around the corner and came face to face with Snow!

Snow looked at Emma like she was anticipating for her to be there. Mother and Daughter stared at each other with different expressions. The Mother's calm and sorrow and the Daughter's stubborn with fury. Snow sighed as she turned and stalked away to her and David's room. Emma watched with intense rage until Snow disappear behind the door. Suddenly, she felt her anger washed away for a moment and she was replaced with shock but she didn't let that stopped her at the moment. She then quietly entered Henry's room.

"Hey kid" Emma said as she knocked on the door to announced her presence.

"Hey Mom" Henry said happily. He hasn't seen her all day so that will explain the happiness. Emma awkwardly rubbed the back of her head as she prepared to start a conversation with him. "So um I see that Snow had-"

"Mom" Henry interrupted.

"Huh?"

"I think you meant to call Grandma mom, mom" Emma sighed. She knew where this was going. "Henry it's complicated"

"No it's not"

"She hasn't been in my life for 28 years" Emma argued with him. "You haven't been in my life for 14 years and I still acknowledge you as my mom" Henry counter argued back. Emma sighed as she rubbed her temples with her fingers. "You know the reason why I couldn't be with you Henry, I had to-"

"Give me my best chance just what Grandma and Grandpa did for you right?"

Emma fell silent. Which made Henry raised an eyebrow in question. "But there's something more to that isn't?"

Emma's eyes widen when he said that and Henry smirked. "This have something to do with Maleficent and Lily"

Emma mentally curse herself out in her head. 'Damn, I have a smart kid. Well, he inherit that from me'

"Mom, they couldn't help what they had done." Henry said, which gave Emma all her attention to him. "They didn't know that the actions they were taking will cause a rift between parent and child. I bet if they had a chance to doit all over, they will probably try to find another way. Can you blame them for protecting their child from being evil?"

Emma didn't dare to say a word, she just let Henry's words sink in. "You and the others might think they are evil and others might think they are good but do you want to know what I think?"

Henry didn't waited for Emma to respond so he finished up by stating "Well, I think they are human just like anybody else and they're my grandparents and your mother and father" Henry then smiled "And they love you"

Emma didn't say anything but Henry could see that she shook a little. Each of them then fell into an award silence for a moment.

"You know she's trying right?" Henry questioned her with a bit of curiosity and also breaking the silence.

Emma just nodded and said then got up quietly from Henry's bed and headed for the door. Henry could tell that it's time to call it a night then based on her actions. Just as Emma grasped the doorknob, Henry said "Good night Mom". Emma paused for a moment. After what seem like an entirety, Emma responded to him. "Night Henry. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Seriously, some bit Dad the other night" Henry smiled at the comment and shook his head. Emma then exited the door and shut it behind her.

Once she shut the door, she stood there for a few moments. Suddenly, one by one, tears began to flow down her face. She quietly slide down against the door as she quietly sobbed. Darn Henry for making her feel this way. She then looked towards Snow's room, frustration sketched upon her face. And damn Sow for causing this in the first place! If she didn't do what she did, then Emma wouldn't have to live in those damn foster homes, those damn abusers, and constant loneliness. She would of have a family that she can all her own. Regina might robbed them of their happiness but Snow robbed her of a family, even if she didn't know them, at least they would of been together. And she hate Snow for not letting that happen!

"So if hating me means that she still haves feelings towards me, I will gladly accept it over anything, I mean I love that girl and nothing or no one will ever change that"

Emma silently gasped when the words rung back in her head. Could it be true? Could Snow really mean that? She was fine being hated?

It was at that moment, when Emma had a flashback back to what Henry said to her before she left.

"You know she's trying right?"

Tears silently began to flow again as she looked down the hall, where Snow's room was located.

"I know kid. I know" Emma said with a shaky breath as she continue to looked down the hall.

Seems like Emma needs some convincing on that, wonder what will do the trick? But don't worry guys! More to come :D I didn't forget about y'all!
