A/N: Four songs - 'Love Is Like A Curse', 'You Are My Happy Beginning', 'A Good Life' and 'The Narrow Life' are my songs or poems I wrote. So it will be posted when Regina and Henry listen on their night to see Emma on the stage to sing. It would be on Chapter 5 or 6. I haven't yet decided to write a chapter for these songs.
Here is your chapter 3 from Emma's POV. Enjoy it. All mistakes are mine.
Chapter 3: Emma's POV
In Nashville, Tennessee, the blonde woman was at her work with her band, singing her new single, "Love Is Like A Curse" and knew that she remembered everything in Storybrooke. She used that song as a tribute to the town she worked as a sheriff. It was an empowering song for her to sacrifice her happy beginning with the brunette woman who adopted her birth son. They worked through that song over and over. The producers absolutely loved that song and determined to spread the word about this song to be released as a single. It was right after her first debut cd on the liberation few months ago.
Emma and her band were practicing their songs before their first national tour in all over America. They were excited to meet their fans and have fun out there for three months of summer with 35 cities. The interviews went wild on their busy schedules to be not crossing over with their days.
For her, it was tiring to do all the work and listen to every song that they made a little change for their big show in Nashville. It would be their kickoff on the opening of their tour. Emma decided to name their tour – The Narrow Life. It was named after her first music cd. Others loved that song Emma wrote on her first day in Nashville.
Until, they finished their last song and they decided to end their day. Emma was packing her small bag and left with a picture of Regina and Henry then looked at it for a while until her friend called her several times. She looked up at her bandmate, Nicholas Riker and decided to go with him for dinner. Emma smiled at her photo and put it away in her bag then left with her friend. In her mind, she remembered every moment with Regina and Henry in Storybrooke. Emma smiled at the first memory with Regina when they hung out in the diner and had a good time with their son.
Finally, they arrived at the café and decided to take a small dinner together. They chatted about the national tour and the fans who were crowded in the café to get an autograph from both of them. She signed the autograph and posed for a picture with her fans. Until, they paid their dinner and parted their ways to get home. Emma kept repeating the lyrics – "You Are My Happy Beginning" and it was a tribute to her crush and true love – Regina.
Emma came home, her Japanese Akita dog lunged at her when she was walking to the entrance of her mountain home and laughed while Regal, her dog's name, licked on her face. After playing with Regal, they went into the home office to drop her bag. Then she got her legal pad with a black pen and went ahead to the music room for polishing the lyrics for her few songs to be produced on the next day. Until, she remembered the memories about her son and Regina at the same time and found the lyrics about them. She wrote it right away and the song was "A Good Life". It was a tribute to Regina and Henry.
When it interrupted her songwriting, the phone buzzed and Emma answered. It was her good friend from New York City, Lily Page. They went into the foster care for years and had been in touch for few months until Emma was her maid in honor to be on Lily's wedding to her husband. They chatted about Lily's family and found out that she was pregnant with two girls. Emma was excited to be asked for being a godmother to Lily's daughters. Until the time was out, Emma decided to end the call with Lily and went to get a shower. Regal jumped on the bed and waited.
After the shower was done, Emma smiled at herself in the mirror and remembered the last moment with Regina alone in the back room of the diner. The kiss was incredible and magical. She knew that Robin Hood took Regina as his girlfriend and true love. She wondered how Regina has been doing with Henry back in Storybrooke and had no contact with them for a year.
The bedtime was closer for her to get sleep with her dog on the bed. She walked toward her bed and lying down. All she dreamed about Regina on every night until she wailed out with her tears. Regal was there on her side and stayed with her until the morning for her last day of work then get a small vacation with Regal alone in the cabin. Emma finally got to sleep and dreamed of the brunette woman and their son who were smiling at her.
