Henry was the first to sit up and look around. He was in a small pink room that had a toddler bed pushed into the corner ,and a recognizable baby blanket lay neatly on the bed. Swiftly he began to shake everyone awake.

When they were all standing the scene began to unfold.
Emma raced into the room smiling brightly, making her tiny pigtails bounce up and down.
"Today I'm three blanket!" She squealed jumping up and down excitedly.

Both Snow and David watched her with a sad smile on their faces,but she was so beautiful.
Then they heard a soft voice yell.
"Emma come here."

Swiftly the little Emma jumped up and raced downstairs smiling and skipping all the way.

Slowly the group began to follow her down the hall each wondering why this was a bad memory but then it dawned on Henry ,Emma words echoed in his head
"You know what sucks is having a family keep me for three years then put me back in the system because they were having their own kid!"
He shivered not wanting to see the painful scene.

"Hi Mommy and daddy what you need, who your friend?" Emma questioned inoccently. The man sighed softly
"Listen Em Cathleen is pregnant." He started but Emma cut him off
"You mean Mommy is pregunat? Yeah I be a big sister?" Emma squealed happily.

"No Emma you won't Edward and I can't afford you anymore, so we're sending you back into the system." Chathleen snapped.

Henry could feel the tears streaming down his face ,Snow wanted to floor the wench,and Red was crying also but she had a murderous look in her eyes.
"Who does that to a three year old little girl?" Charming asked
"Monsters!" Regina replied bitterly looking at the scene.

"But Mommy I ...I don't understand." Emma whimpered
"Oh Emma cut the act we can't afford you get over it now GO pack your things ." Cathleen comanded,but Emma shook her head clutching her baby blanket to her chest.
"Emma do as I say!" Cathleen spat

Red began to growl furiously, Henry shook his head in disbelief and Snow clung to David crying sadly. Regina was mently ripping their hearts out ,despite her and Emma's differences ,no child deserves this.

"Just give them to your new baby Cathleen Edmund !" The social worker spat and then gently picked Emma up and started to leave with her.

Then everything went black as a new scene began to unfold.
