The Inside Story

There's No me in Family

Henry shook Snow's shoulder excitedly and jumped up in down pointing at the scene of Regina and Emma.

"I guess I'm just a lonely nobody right my own son doesn't even remember who I am." Regina sighed and Emma sat down next to her with a smile.
"See Regina that's where you're wrong because even if he doesn't remember you right now somewhere in his heart you're there because even if his mind forgot you his heart didn't." Emma told her gently and Regina sighed sadly
"Emma he was the only family I have and now.."
"See that's where you're wrong again because even if you don't want to admit it you're still apart of my family." Regina gave her a skeptical look. "Well you're my mom's stepmother,my step grandmother and Henry's adoptive mother." She told her again before she stood and left, letting those words sink into Regina's head.

"Awe see. I know you both could be friends!" Henry cheered and Regina smiled faintly at Henry's happiness. As did Snow and David. Red just laughed openly.

Emma tiptoed out of her room and down the stairs. Quietly she made her way over to Neal's crib and slowly lifted him out. He had been crying and had small tears in his little eyes. Slowly Emma carried him upstairs to her bedroom.

"Did you know about this? " Snow asked David with a slight frown and he shook his head.

"Shh its okay squirt I'm here." Emma whispered soothingly and almost immediately Neal's crying stopped and he stared at Emma with wide eyes.
"Bet your wondering who I am? Well I'm your big sister." Emma told him gently and he cooed softly making Emma laugh merrily.
"Awe well aren't you a charming little fella." She laughed lovingly.
"You know I've never had a real sibling before. I mean I've had foster siblings and such,but never any real flesh and blood." Emma yawned sleepily.

"Oh David its just so wonderful to see them bonding." Snow whispered happily.
"I know it makes me happy too." David whispered and then Snow remembered she was mad at him and turned away making him sigh.

"Third night in a row buddy, I know you probably prefer momma but she needs her sleep baby bro." Emma yawned again looking extremely tired. "Don't worry buddy I'll stay awake with you as long as it takes." Emma told him gently and Neal's eyes began to slowly close.
Emma smiled relieved and slowly placed him into his bassentte.

Henry grinned watching the scene with a smile then the scene slowly began to change.
