The Lost Girl, Now Found

2) Kid

Mary Margaret's POV  

Today's the day, I'm gonna ask her about it when she gets here, I'm at Granny's waiting for her for our weekly hot chocolate and cinnamon, she's walking through the door. What the hell? What's with the left arm cast? 

"Hey Mary Margaret"

"Em, what happened to your arm?" I ask her, concerned. 

"Just clumsy" she told me, avoiding eye contact. 

"Emma, look at me, please" she does just that. "Please don't lie to me Em, I'm your best friend, I'm worried" I held her right hand, for comfort, I can't be positive, but I think Walsh hurts her, and the thought of it makes my blood boil. 

"Walsh" she told me, quietly.

"Emma-" she interrupted me.

"Mary Margaret, I know your worried, but I'll be fine, I've been fine for the past 11 years"

"This has been going on for 11 years?!" I whisper-yelled to her. 

"Mary Margaret, I swear to you, I'll be fine" 

"How long have you guys been together?"

"12 years, it didn't start until about a year after we met" she told me reluctantly. 

"Em, you need to get out of this relationship" I told her, worry evident in my voice.

"Mary Margaret, I get it, you're worried about me, and I love you for it, but I've tried, there's no way out of this". 

"Emma, there's always a way" I tell her, so full of hope. 

"I love that you have so much hope" she tells me smiling. "Well, you better get to the hospital, so you can see you coma boyfriend" She tells me, with a more genuine smile than before. 

I roll my eyes, "He's not my boyfriend Em, I go to the hospital, to volunteer"

"Sure he's not" she says to me sarcastically, "What was his name again?"

"David, David Nolan" I told her, while feeling a blush creep upon my face. 

"Mary Margaret?"

"Huh?"

"If he's not your boyfriend, then why are you blushing?" She asks me in a sing-song voice. 

I immediately look to the ground, "I'm not blushing" I lie to her. 

"And I totally believe you" she says to me with even more sarcasm than before.

I roll my eyes, once again, "Hey, why don't you volunteer at the hospital with me"

"I don't know Mary, I'll have to see what Walsh thinks"

"Please Em, just be careful with him" I plead with her.

She grabs my hand to reassure me, "I promise, I will be fine Mary Margaret" 

With that, I get up and leave, to go see David... I mean go do my volunteering, yeah that's what I'm doing, my volunteering. 

Emma's POV 

I go home after seeing Mary Margaret at Granny's, Walsh won't be home for about another hour, so I reheated some leftovers for me to eat, then I heard a knock at the door, so I go answer it and I see a kid holding a big brown book. 

"Hi, are you Emma Swan?" The kid asked me. 

"Uh yeah, and you are?"

"Oh, my name is Henry Swan and I'm your son" 

"Sorry kid, I don't have a son"

"On August 15, 2001 did you give a kid up for adoption?" he asked me.

I didn't know how to react, I was shocked, but then he pushed his way into the apartment and started to eat my food. 

2001

Walsh has been hurting me for a few months now and I've wanted to leave since it started, but now I have no choice, I just found out that I'm pregnant and I have to protect this baby, at all costs. I packed some of my things and left while Walsh was at work. 

8 months have passed  and I'm now 9 months pregnant, but Walsh has been looking for me, I can't raise this baby, I can't risk Walsh finding out about him, I have to give him up. 

I'm at the hospital now, I just gave birth. 

"It's a boy Emma! Do you wanna hold him?" The doctor asked me. 

I look away, tears pooling from my eyes. "I-I can't be a mother"

"Are you sure Emma? You can change your mind" he told me, wanting me to be sure.

"I can't, I have to protect him" I told him balling my eyes out. 

Henry's POV (Present Time)

I showed up at my real moms house to tell her that she needs to break the curse, but I don't think she's ready for the truth, yet. 

I see her look at the clock and her eyes went wide. "Shoot kid, you gotta go! My husband is gonna be here any minute" she looked like she was kind of freaking out, then the front door opened. 

"Emma! I'm home!" I heard someone yell from the other room and I saw Emma tense up, she looked kind of scared, especially when he walked into the kitchen, where we were standing. "Babe, who's the kid?"

She started to get nervous and slowly pushed me behind her. "This is uh, his name is Henry, he-" I interrupted her. 

"I'm Henry, Ms. Blanchard is my teacher" I say to him moving from behind Emma

"The neighbor?" He asked her and she nodded her head. "I thought she worked at the hospital"

"No honey, she uh, she volunteers there, but she works at the elementary school" she says while pushing me behind her... again. 

"Kid, why are you here?" He asked me. 

I moved from behind Emma, again. "Uh, I came over to Ms. Blanchard's for my weekend tutoring and she isn't home yet, so Emma said I could come in and eat something"

"Uh yeah, well Henry, Mary Margaret should be back now, see you later kid" she told me nervously.

"Okay, can we hang out another time?" I asked her. "Emma, you're really fun to hang out with"

"Sounds like a plan kid" she told me smiling, and then I left.
