First Love


Emma had bought a Yellow Bug. She had been dreaming about this car ever since VW reintroduced the bug. Sure hers was vintage, but she liked that even better. She had worked all summer for it and now it was hers. She drove herself Downtown one day the Just before Christmas on her Sr. Year. She was going shopping for Friends and family.

She had put together some really nice things, and now that she had her own money she could stop wearing the dresses her mom insisted on buying for her.

when she got to her car that afternoon, she used her key to get in, but she found that she left the door unlocked. She frowned, Not remembering she'd done that.

When she sat in her seat, Emma noticed the wires of her ignition were pulled out. "What?" she looked around and there was a boy in the back seat hiding.

"You know, you should really check all around before getting into your car." he said sheepishly.She was about to scream but he covered her mouth. "No please don't be scared, I just need to get out of here. Can you just… put those two wires together."

"Why should I help you?" Emma spat out.

"Please?" He asked, "I'll put it back the way I found it I promise."

Emma looked down at the wires and started it up, then drove away as fast as she could. She didn't know where. There was no way she was taking herself toward home. So she drove away. "Where are we going?"

"Just keep driving." He said her flip phone pinged and she glanced at the caller ID window. It was dinner time and Mom was calling her.

"I have to call my mom." She said, "Or she will call the police to track me down."

"Okay Kid, just… tell her you are on a date." He said.

"She won't believe me." Emma answered.

"Why not?"

"I am a lousy liar." She looked around, she was heading to the next county. She bit her lower lip. "She can always tell."

"Well then, I'll take you out." He said. "I'm Neal…"

She smiled. He was really kind of cute. "Emma,"

That night was a whirlwind. Emma Fell in love, Lost her virginity and her heart all in one night. When she got home Early the next morning. She was on lockdown with Mom, and never got to see Neal again.

What she had from that night, However, was growing. A Strong little boy that Emma loved. "I will be with you no matter what." Mom said as Emma cried in her arms.

She had tried to have an abortion. But her heart would not allow it. She was still heart broken over Neal. But as the pregnancy continued, Emma began to think about her destiny.

"Mom…" Emma said one June day. "I've been thinking about The baby and the curse."

Her mother looked at her and took her hand. Yes she had been disappointed in Emma. but she supported her decision. She was the savior, she had a good head on her shoulders . Emma had prepared all of her life to break the Curse. But Snow was also afraid that her rebellion will keep her away from looking for their family.

"What is it Baby?" Snow said bracing herself for the latter.

"I can't keep him knowing that I may die when he is only a little boy. Or that the Evil queen will kill my child." She took a deep breath and exhaled "I think I need to put him up for adoption."

Snow's heart broke. She had fallen in love with Emma's little belly. But Her daughter wanted to give the baby his best chance. So she supported her daughter with figuring out what the adoption process she wanted to take. They chose a closed adoption, that way if she died and her kid came looking they would not be able to find her. It should be hard.

She loved her baby. But she had a duty to fulfil…

She changed her mind every day.
