Chapter twenty

Whale observed the family for a moment, before it occurred to him just what Regina had done.

He began to advance, but Emma stood in front of him.

"Seriously Whale?" she sighed.

"She cursed us all," he hissed.

Emma let out a breath, again, really? Drawing the sword, she held it up and replied, "I suggest you get over it."

Whale looked between the sword and Regina, "you can't be there to protect her forever, saviour."

"Once she's fully better, she doesn't need me to protect her," Emma smirked.

Whale hurriedly left the room, but at the same time she heard footsteps outside, and continued to hold it up.

Snow and David burst into the room, and David looked in shock at the other blonde holding his sword.

As soon as Emma saw who it was, she sheathed it, "hey," she said, with a small wave.

Snow stared at her for a few moments, "hey," she stuttered out.

Emma stood for a few seconds, before walking forward and hugging them both.

Snow let out a laugh as she brought her arm around her daughter, "you found us," she cried.

Emma nodded, and smirked when she heard Henry's small laugh, Regina must have rolled her eyes, she thought.

"You seem surprisingly...okay with everything," David said with a furrowed brow.

"Err...that's a long story that I don't actually understand," she replied while turning to Regina.

"Oh, the trigger sent us back in time," she explained casually.

"I figured, but that doesn't explain why to now," Emma retorted.

"The moment you came to town was when the curse started to break," Regina replied.

Emma nodded, "so why did you remember and I didn't?"

"Because you are stubborn," Henry and Regina said at the same time.

Snow looked between them, "are we missing something?"

"M e and Regina have already lived through all of this, we got sent back in time because of her failsafe," she replied casually.

"My failsafe? I didn't set it off."

"You created it and God knows why," Emma laughed.

"It was necessary," Regina countered.

"It was stupid," Emma smirked.

Regina narrowed her eyes and Emma held her gaze for a few moments. Charming and Snow exchanged a look.

"Emma...how did the curse break?" she asked cautiously.

Emma looked at Henry pleadingly, "I'm not telling her," he laughed.

Regina rolled her eyes, "you are both children," to which Emma and Henry both nodded. Turning to look at Snow she steeled her nerves, though she didn't quite understand why, and said, "Your daughter kissed me and broke both curses."

Snow nodded for a moment, before she began shaking her head.

"But..." she began, before she fainted.

"Well that was dramatic," Emma said in shock, before kneeling down next to her.

Looking up she saw her father with a similar look to the one the Snow had, "you're not going to faint are you?"

Shaking his head he kneeled down next her, helping to move Snow he whispered, "can I have my sword?"

"Not yet," she whispered back with a laugh.


"Okay, Snow's all settled in a bed," Emma said as she re-entered Regina's room.

Henry hopped of the bed where he was laying next to Regina, "I'm going to talk to them."

Each woman nodded, he was half way across the room before he ran back to Regina and kissed her on the cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too," she replied instantly.

Henry offered Emma a smile, before running out of the room.

"Guess he doesn't love me yet," Emma sighed.

Regina smiled at the blonde, "trust me, it won't take long."

"Is that right?" Emma smirked as she approached the bed.

"After a while, your idiocy becomes endearing."

Emma let out a snort of laughter, "yeah, after a while you being a know it all becomes endearing."

"Since when had knowledge ever been a bad thing?" she smirked.

Emma took Henry's place on the bed, and put her arm around the mayor's shoulder, "I never said it was."

"You implied..."

"Regina," Emma whispered as she leaned forward.

"What?"

"Shut up," she replied, before leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

When she pulled away, Regina nodded and leaned forward again to capture the blonde's lips.


"Hey grandpa," Henry said as he entered the other room.

David was about to protest, before he just shook his head, "I guess you're right, I am your grandfather."

Henry laughed and came and sat next to him in front of Snow, "how is she?"

"Whale said she should wake up soon," he replied with a small smile.

"Is it because they're both women?" Henry asked after a moment.

David looked at him in shock for a moment before he shook his head, "sexuality was never really a big deal in the Enchanted Forest."

"So why is it here?" Henry asked with a tilted head.

David shrugged, "I've only been awake here for a day," he laughed, "but my guess would be it's because in the Enchanted Forest, gay couples can have children through magic."

"I can have a little brother?" Henry asked excitedly. David's face drained of colour and Henry quickly held up his hands, "sorry, too soon?"

David let out a breath, "yes, way too soon."

"So it's because she was the Evil Queen?" Henry asked.

David nodded, "I think with time I may come to terms with it, but..."

"Snow White believes in true love right?"

David nodded.

"Then how can she ask her daughter not to be with her true love, surely you both just want her to be happy."

Charming looked at him for a moment, "how are you so smart?"

"I read a lot," he laughed.

"You do have a point, but it's still a lot to take in," David sighed.

Henry placed his hand on the man's arm, "well my mom taught me that a parent can do anything for their child."

David nodded again.

"He's right, Charming," a female voice said.

"Snow, are you alright?" her husband asked quickly.

She sat up and smiled at the two boys in front of her, "we can't ask Emma to not be happy just because we're not comfortable with it."

David nodded, "I know, it's still weird. Emma would be dating her step-grandmother."

Henry grimaced, "never say that again."

Snow and Charming both laughed at the boy's disgusted look.

A/N I will try and do every season (except 3A) I'll follow this plot through to the end of season two (Cora will definitely be redeemed), and then I'll probably do time jumps to Zelena, Elsa (may not do 4A, haven't got any ideas for it yet lol) and then the Queens of Darkness. Let me know if you like this plan, and if not what you want to see happen.

I just have a few questions:

1. Would you rather Snow and Emma to go to the EF, or Emma and Regina (or all three?) (I would also need a reason for them to go through the hat :/)

you want Zelena to become part of the family by the end of her section?

3. Do you want to see Robin and Hook in this story?

4. Do you want Emma to become the Dark One by the time I get to 4B? (I probably won't be able to do 5A when it comes out if she doesn't)

Thank you guys for all the interest, and I hope you enjoy what I do with the next few seasons :)

Also if you're not interested in the other seasons this would probably be the best place to finish reading :)
