Summary
Everyone knows the story - or at least, they think they do.
Emma Swan was supposed to wait for Neal. She was supposed to be framed, arrested, and forced to give up her newborn son. Regina Mills, the mayor with a smile as sharp as glass, was supposed to adopt the baby. And years later, a determined little boy named Henry was supposed to find Emma and bring her to a strange town called Storybrooke.
But that version of events never happens.
Because this time, Emma doesn't wait.
Believing Neal has abandoned her, she leaves before he can plant the stolen watches in her car. No arrest. No prison. No adoption papers. Instead, Emma becomes a single mother - fierce, exhausted, and determined to give Henry the stability she never had. Their life is messy, nomadic, and stitched together with love and late-night promises.
For ten years, it's just Emma and Henry against the world.
And then everything changes.
A shift she can't explain. A pull she can't ignore. A sense that something - or someone - is calling her toward a destiny she never asked for. Emma doesn't know why her life suddenly feels like it's moving toward a story she doesn't remember choosing.

Summary
"The image of a baby lit by the dim glow of flickering candles graces her mind. The little dear is wrapped snugly in a swaddle of white wool and a trim of purple around the bottom while she cries as loudly as her little lungs allow. The wool is soft beneath the pads of Mary Margaret’s fingertips; she shushes the baby, and the crying stops. Emerald eyes blink up at her, and she stares back with tears rolling down her cheeks. Tracing her finger along the baby’s cheek she nudges the corner of the blanket, where the name ‘Emma’ is embroidered in elegant cursive.
Emma.
Emma."
Or
A glimpse into Mary Margaret Blanchard's mind during the original dark curse as she contends with the complex emotions that come with solitude and building relationships.
