I've just been spammed😂 It's a good feeling! Happy Tuesday lovelies ❤️

Emma's POV.

"Mom what's this. " Henry comes in holding up a picture.
"Let me see that. " I take the photograph out of his hand and nearly faint.
"Who's this girl Mom ?"
"That's. "
........
"That's me. "
"Woah! You were pretty. " I smile at him before sitting down on one of the island stools. This is Ingrid's picture.

"Who did this come from?"
"U- just a woman I used to know. "
"Oh ok, is weird and I'm curious. "
"Yeah well it doesn't matter. "
"Ok." He says backing off.
"I'm sorry kid. " he nods at me and sits on the stool next to me.
"If you don't want to talk it's ok. "
"Do you really want to listen to me about my problems?"
"I would love you to tell me about your life mom. "
"Your not a normal boy kid, most kids would not like to have a deep conversation with their mother. "
"Well I would love to have a deep conversation mom. "
"Well lets start at the beginning. "
I tell Henry the story of Ingrid and my long boring painful life and he listens. He listens to it all carefully and patiently. Then I show him my picture.
"I cannot believe one of my favourite people in this town was my mothers foster mother who tried to kill her. Twice. "
"Ingrid was one of your favourite people?"
"She's so kind. " I smile.
"But I had no idea. You said she said something about medication? Maybe she was sick and she sorted herself out."
"Maybe she was but have you any idea how scary it is nearly dying?"
"I think you should talk to her. "
"No. "
"Mom!"
"No. " I say firmly.
"Regina would want you too. " Sneaky.
"Kid, that's not fair. " I say. He shrugs his shoulders and disappears upstairs.
"You know what, fine. You win. " I yell. I gather my keys and put my shoes back on. Henry re appears. He's smiling at me. It's hard to be mad at that kid.

I take a deep breath before entering the shop but Ingrid wasn't there.
"I'll just be one second!"
I hear her voice from the back and I play with my fingers.
"What can I get..............you. "
"Hi. "
"I-Emma" I take a breath.
"Can we talk?"
"Of course. " she motions for me to follow her behind the shop and I follow.

We were in the middle of a long conversation and to be perfectly honest it did make me feel better about the whole situation.
"I spent 3 months in a psych unit and I'm still on medication. I had a shrink for 3 years until he was sure that I was better. I felt terrible for what I did to you, I didn't want to live. " A tears slides down her cheek but she tries to wipe it away before I notice. I place my hand on top of hers. I have a superpower you see. I know when people lie and I don't think Ingrid Is.
"My girlfriend would of wanted me to forgive you, she's the reason I'm here. You'll probably know her. She's mayor"
"Your dating Regina Mills?" I nod.
"I'm sorry about her current situation. "
"Yeah. Me too. " Then she looks at me.
"Wait. Is Henry Mills your son?" I nod again.
"I'm glad. He deserved someone better than that red head, I'm glad he had Regina but now your here for hi. He is a lucky boy. "
"Yeah, but I need Regina, it's been weeks and I'm trying to be strong but it's not getting any easier. Henry keeps me going. Speaking of Henry I better get back to him, he's probably hungry. " We both stand out and walk back into the main shop.
"Thank you Emma. For listening to me. And for talking too. "
"I didn't want to, but I'm so glad I did" we exchange smiles and I walk out after saying goodbye.

"I have pizza!" I yell and I soon hear the footsteps of a hungry twelve year old running down the stairs yelling 'PIZZAAAA'
I place the box on the dining room table and we attack it.
"How was it ?" He says, a mouth full of pizza.
"It went good. " I reply.
"No details?"
"Nope. Just good. "
"Fine." He huffs.
"Oh and I had an idea. " oh Jesus.
"Sing to her. "
"What?"
"Regina, sing to Regina" I start to laugh because it is pretty funny.
"Me? Sing?"
"Yup. I believe it could help. "
"I do not sing kid. "

"Please!"

"No"

"Mom"

"Henry!"

"Pleeeaaassssseeee Mom!"

"Absolutely not. "

"MOM!"

"I said no. "

"Please mom. "

"UGH FINE! You win." He fist pumps the air and continues eating. God this kid.

--Next day-- 

It's Friday. I absolutely cannot believe I'm sat here contemplating what song I'm going to sing to my unconscious love, then I decide on one. Here goes.

I'm trying but I keep falling down
I cry out but nothing comes now
I'm giving my all and I know peace will come
I never wanted to need someone

Yeah, I wanted to play tough
Thought I could do all just on my own
But even Superwoman
Sometimes needed Superman's soul

Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need

And if you let go I'll float towards the sun
I'm stronger 'cause you fill me up
But when the fear comes and I drift towards the ground
I am lucky that you're around

Yeah, I wanted to play tough
Thought I could do all just on my own
But even Superwoman
Sometimes needed Superman's soul

Help me out of this hell
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium

You lift me up and I am found
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up when I'm down down down
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up and I am found
You lift me up before I hit the ground
You lift me up when I'm down down down
You lift me up before I hit the ground!

Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up when I'm down down down
When I've hit the ground
You're all I need
'Cause your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium
Your love lifts me up like helium

I finish with tears in my eyes and I can't handle watching her lie there lifeless any longer so I walk out. I don't even make it out of the room when I hear it.

"E-Em-ma"
