I'm curious as to what it would've been like. However I don't think it would be better if they did it this way. I mean there would be a HUGE plot hole about Emma not noticing everyone else not aging, except her. But I thought I'd make my own version of what I think the first episode would've been like. I'm not going to be doing this with every episode because it would just be a big mess and it's not worth it. This is just for fun. It's only going to be tampilkan things from the real world, not the fairy-tale world. Please let me know what anda think and don't take anything about this too seriously, it's just for fun.

It was a cold night in a small town in Maine called Storybrooke where the Mayor, Regina Mills, was waiting in her house impatiently. She had been lonely and wished to have a child to keep her company, a baby boy is what she desired. The Mayor had everything that a woman would want; beauty, intelligence, power, and was very wealthy. Well, almost everything, even with all of those things she had not a friend in the world, except for Sheriff Graham, and no one to keep her company on her lonely days.

Finally she heard a knock at the door, she rushed to answer it, and there was Mr. Gold, the owner of the town. He was the only one who was wealthier, lebih powerful, and lebih feared than Regina. In his arms he held a small baby, only two weeks old. However she could tell from the blanket she was rapped in, which berkata Emma, it was a girl, much to her dismay.

"What the hell is this?" asked the frustrated Regina.

"It's Godzilla. What does it look like? It's a baby" answered Mr. Gold.

"I can see that! But it's a girl, I berkata very clearly that I wanted a boy" berkata Regina firmly.

"Well the orphanage anda adopted her from didn't have any baby boys, it was either her atau nothing" berkata Mr. Gold.

"Then take her back and lets get a boy from a different one" berkata Regina.

"That's not how I do things. anda asked for a favor, to bring anda a baby, and I brought her to you" berkata Mr. Gold.

"I berkata I wanted a boy!" reminded Regina.

"I know that but I never promised I would bring anda a boy, I promised anda I'd bring anda a baby" berkata Mr. Gold.

"Now listen here I..." started Regina.

She paused for moment when she noticed the little baby grab her finger. She stared at the little baby girl, she smiled, and thought that this little baby was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Mr. emas handed the child to Regina and walked away without even a word. Regina continued to smile as she brought this beautiful miracle into her home, she rocked it, sang a little lullaby until she fell asleep, placed her in her crib, kissed her on her forehead, and whispered "Welcome to Storybrooke, Emma."

As the years went oleh Emma and Regina's relationship has been quite mixed. They were quite close when Emma was a little girl but when she became a teenager they were really strained, she even ran away from halaman awal when she was sixteen. Regina was always strict, controlling, critical, and didn't quite understand her daughter. However she kept trying to bring them closer but they always backfired on her. Emma wanted to live her own life, to be herself, for her mother to stop criticizing everything she did, and just like every adopted child, to know who her real parents were and why they gave her up.

Now at twenty-eight years old she's a deputy to Sheriff Graham, her only friend. She lived in an apartment, it was quite small but Emma considered it good enough. Tonight was her birthday and was spending it watching TV eating a bag of chips. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and when she went to answer it the person at the door was her mother, with Graham along with her.

"Mom, Graham, hi! What are anda guys doing here?" asked Emma.

"It's your birthday honey and we're here to help anda celebrate" answered Regina.

"Mom, I told anda I don't wanna celebrate my birthday. Birthdays are for kids, I'm a little too old for this" berkata Emma.

"Oh don't be ridiculous" berkata Regina as she just walked on in with Graham.

"Mom, are anda even listening to me?" asked the annoyed Emma.

"Oh sue me, I wanna celebrated with my daughter on her birthday. Come on, I got anda a present and a small cake and it's your favorite, chocolate" berkata Regina as she handed Emma her present.

She up-rapped the paper and opened the box to find a red leather jacket.

"Mom, this is the jaket I wanted from the store. anda really shouldn't have" berkata Emma.

"Don't be ridiculous, it's your birthday and I knew you'd cinta it" berkata Regina. "Now go ahead and try it on." Emma did as so and Regina just smiled and looked at her. "You truly are the fairest of them all."

"Mom, don't anda think I'm too old for anda to still be saying that?" asked Emma.

"I'll stop saying it when anda stop being the most beautiful girl in the world" answered Regina

Regina then set up a cake and lit the candles for her daughter to make a wish.

"Really mom?" questioned the snarky Emma.

"Come on Emma, it's your birthday, make a wish" berkata Graham.

Emma rolled her eyes, leaned down, closed her eyes, and in her mind wished that something extraordinary would happen in her life. At that moment there was a knock at the door, Emma went to answer it and to her surprise it was a little boy, about ten years old.

"Um... can I help you?" asked the confused Emma.

"Are anda Emma Mills?" asked the boy.

"Yeah, who are you?" asked Emma.

"My name is Henry Swan, I'm your son" answered the boy.

"Your what?" questioned Regina.

Henry just came in while Regina just stared at Emma with disapproval and Emma just groaned.

"Kid, kid, kid! I don't have a son. Where are your parents?" berkata Emma.

"I don't have any, well, technically I found my mom" berkata Henry.

"What makes anda so sure that she's your mother?" asked Regina.

"Ten years yang lalu did anda give up a baby for adoption?" asked Henry. Emma didn't respond but anda could tell that the answer was yes. "That was me."

"Emma, can I talk to anda alone for a minute?" asked Regina as her and Emma left the room. "What the hell is going on? When were anda going to tell me I'm a grandmother?"

"Never because I didn't think I'd see this kid again" answered Emma.

"When did this happen?" asked Regina.

"Remember when I ran away when I was sixteen? Well I was with this guy for a while, we did it, and later he got me arrested" answered Emma.

"You got arrested?" questioned Regina.

"Just thought I'd let anda know since apparently keeping secrets from anda has gone down the drain" berkata Emma.

"Great, so my daughter went to jail and is the mother of a ten tahun old" criticized Regina. "Who's the father?"

"No one we have to worry about, he doesn't even know that the kid exists and I don't plan on telling him, in fact I don't plan on seeing him period" answered Emma.

"So now what are anda going to do?" asked Regina.

"I don't know" answered Emma.

"Well I suggest anda get in there and deal with this" berkata Regina.

"Mom will anda get off my ass?" asked Emma.

"No, I won't. Now get your pantat, keledai in there and deal with this!" demanded Regina.

"Just give me a menit to catch my breath" berkata Emma.

"Fine! While anda do that I'm going to get that little boy something to eat and drink. The poor think must be starving and dying of thirst" berkata Regina as she walked back into the room. "Hello sweetheart. Would anda like some cake?"

"Sure!" answered Henry.

"Would anda like some apel, apple jus with it?" asked Regina.

"NO! I'm... uh... allergic to apples" berkata Henry.

"Oh, okay. How about some anggur juice?" asked Regina.

"Okay. Where's my mom?" asked Henry.

"Right here. We need to talk. How did anda find me?" berkata Emma.

"I went through my records at the orphanage" answered Henry.

"Well where do anda live?" asked Emma.

"I live at the orphanage on 44th not telling ya street" answered Henry.

"Look kid..." started Emma.

"Emma, it's too late to get him home. Just let him stay here for the night and we'll figure out what to do with him in the morning" berkata Regina

"Alright" groaned Emma.

As the evening went oleh everyone just remained awkwardly silent. There would be the occasional conversation, which was still quite awkward. When Regina and Graham finally left Emma was both relieved and scared.

"Finally, I thought they'd never leave. Now we can talk" berkata Henry as he went through his bag.

"What are anda talking about about kid?" asked Emma.

"You know I have a name? It's Henry, anda should know, I heard anda gave me that name" berkata Henry.

"What are anda looking for anyway ki... I mean... Henry?" asked Emma.

"My book, I want anda to look at it" berkata Henry.

"Aren't anda a little old to need someone to read anda a bedtime story?" asked Emma.

"Their not bedtime stories" berkata Henry.

"They're fairy-tales" berkata Emma.

"No, every story in this book actually happened" berkata Henry.

"Sure they did kid" Emma humored him.

"They did! anda should know better than anyone" berkata Henry.

"Why's that?" asked Emma.

"Because you're in this book" answered Henry.

"Oh kid anda have problems" berkata Emma.

"No, this town has the problems and you're gonna fix them. Every fairy-tale character from the enchanted Forest was sent here, the Evil queen did it with a curse" berkata Henry.

"Hang on, the Evil queen sent a bunch of fairy-tale characters here?" questioned Emma.

"Yeah and now they're trapped" answered Henry.

"Frozen in time, stuck in Storybrooke Maine, that's what you're going with?" questioned Emma.

"It's true!" claimed Henry.

"Then why doesn't everyone just leave?" asked Emma.

"They can't, if they do bad things happen" answered Henry.

"Kid, I've lived here my whole life and when I was sixteen I ran away from home. I managed to leave Storybrooke and nothing happened to me when I tried to leave" berkata Emma.

"You're different, you're special. You're the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. You're the only one who can break the Evil Queen's curse" berkata Henry.

"Alrighty, I'll play along. Who are Snow White and Prince Charming suppose to be?" asked Emma.

"I don't know, I just got into town. But I know who the Evil queen is" answered Henry.

"Okay, who's she?" asked Emma.

"You're mom, well you're adopted mom" answered Henry.

"My mom? Okay me and her don't really get along so well but evil is a bit of an extreme." berkata Emma.

"It's true!" berkata Henry.

"Look, it's been a long night and it's almost..." started Emma.

"Time's Frozen here! Haven't anda noticed that no one else here has aged? All the kids anda went to school with haven't aged?" asked Henry.

"I never went to school. I was halaman awal schooled as a kid" berkata Emma.

"See, you're mom was trying to keep it from anda oleh keeping anda away from everyone" berkata Henry.

"Kid, it's late and anda really should be getting to bed. anda can sleep in my tempat tidur and I'll sleep on the coach" berkata Emma.

They both went to bed, Henry went right to sleep but Emma kept tossing and turning on the coach. She went into the dapur to get something to help her sleep. However just as she was going back to tempat tidur something convinced her to go look in on Henry. She gazed at the small child as he slept. As she scared she grew a smile on her face. She got up the nerve to stoke his hair as he slept. She was tempted to ciuman him but backed away because she was afraid of becoming too attached to this child.

The selanjutnya morning Emma awoke, went to fix breakfast, and went to wake up Henry. However to her surprise he was gone. She questioned if it was all just a dream but the tempat tidur was unmade so he must have been there. She ran to the phone to call Graham.

"Hello" answered Graham.

"Graham, anda know that little boy who was here last night and claimed to be my son? He's gone!" berkata Emma.

"Calm down Emma! He couldn't have gone too far" reasoned Graham.

"Are anda joking? This kid came here from who knows where. Who knows how far he could have gone?" freaked out Emma.

"Emma, he came a long way to see anda so I don't think he'd leave just after one night with you. He's gotta be somewhere in Storybrooke. Ask around and see if anyone's seen him" berkata Graham.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Emma quickly rushed to the door and it was Henry but with him was the Elementary school teacher, Mary-Margret Blanchard. She was a very kind, sweet, caring, and beautiful woman. Emma had seen her in town and occasionally passed her in the hallway because they both lived in the same apartment building.

"Never mind Graham, someone found them" berkata Emma as she hanged up. "Where the hell have anda did anda go kid? anda almost gave me a jantung attack."

"I found him walking around town asking people questions. I've never seen him before, he claims that he knows you" berkata Mary-Margret.

"Yeah he's my... uh..." berkata the awkward Emma.

"She's my mom" berkata Henry.

"Oh... well... congratulations Emma" berkata Mary-Margret.

"Well, thanks for your help Ms. Blanchard, I can take care of it from here. Thank anda so much for finding him" berkata Emma.

"No problem" berkata Mary-Margret as she walked away.

Emma pulled Henry inside and closed the door.

"What the hell were anda doing kid? anda can't just run off and walk around a strange town all alone" criticized Emma.

"I was gathering information for Operation Cobra" answered Henry.

"What's Operation Cobra?" asked Emma.

"It's the name of our mission for ending the curse. I found out who some of the people here are. Dr. Hopper is Jimminy Cricket, The owner of Granny's tempat tidur and Breakfast and her granddaughter are Little Red-Riding kap, hood and her granny, and Ms. Blanchard is your mom, Snow White" berkata Henry.

"Kid are anda still on that book thing?" asked Emma.

"Yeah, because it's true. Haven't anda noticed that when anda turned twenty-eight that the old clock started working. I've asked around and before yesterday everyone berkata it never worked. The battle will begin soon" berkata Henry.

"I'm not fighting any battles kid" berkata Emma.

"Yes anda are, it's you're destiny, you're going to bring back the happy endings" berkata Henry.

"Kid will anda quit it with the book crap?" asked the hostile Emma.

"You don't have to be hostile, I know anda like me, I can tell. I know you're just pushing me away because I make anda feel guilty. It's alright, I know why anda gave me away... anda wanted to give me my best chance" berkata Henry.

Emma paused for a moment as she gathered her thoughts. "How do anda know that?"

"Because it's the same reason why Snow White gave anda away" answered Henry.

"Listen to me kid, I'm not in any book. I'm a real person and I'm no savior. anda were right about one thing though, I wanted anda to have your best chance but it's not with me. Now it's time to tell me where you're from so I can take anda back" berkata Emma.

"You can't! Please don't!" pleaded Henry.

"Kid, I have to, I'm sure you're parents are worried sick about you" berkata Emma.

"I don't have parents, I don't even have a family! I had one once when I was five but when I was six they were finally able to have their own kids and they sent me back. My life sucks! I'm not making this up, just use you're superpower. Everyone told me that as the deputy you're able to tell when people are lying" berkata Henry.

Emma could see that he was telling the truth. "Kid, I'm not parent material. If anda need a halaman awal it's not with me" berkata Emma.

"I don't need to stay with you, just don't send me back there, please!" pleaded Henry.

"I know it must hurt having a family get rid of you, I know the pain of abandonment. My parents left me on the side of a freeway when I was just a baby, they didn't even bother to send me to a hospitable" berkata Emma.

"You're parents didn't abandon you, that's just where anda came out. When anda came through the wardrobe that's just where anda came out. Ms. Blanchard is you're real mom, the mom anda have is evil" berkata Henry.

"Kid, look, my mom isn't evil. She gets on my nerves, doesn't listen to me, criticizes me, is difficult, and as a kid I didn't think she even loved me. But she raised me and she loves me. She's the only parent I ever had and part of the reason we're not close is my fault too, I'm very difficult. Another reason anda don't want to have me as a mom" berkata Emma.

"Yes I do. I'd give anything to get away from that place. The other kids bully me, the adults call me stupid and beat me. I don't care if I have to live in the woods, I just want to be away from there. Besides anda need someone to help anda break the curse" berkata Henry.

"Kid where did anda even get this book?" asked Emma.

"From a man named August Booth" answered Henry.

August Booth? Really?" questioned Emma.

"It's true!" proclaimed Henry.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. It was Regina, who seemed very upbeat.

"Mom! What are anda doing here?" asked Emma.

"I'm here to help you. I found out where this child was from and anda can take him back tonight" berkata Regina.

"Uh... Henry, go into the other room while I talk with my mom" berkata Emma. Henry left and had a disappointed look on his face.

"Henry?" questioned Regina.

"Yes, I gave him that name when he was born. I thought it was the least I could do" berkata Emma.

"Well, either way he's from Boston and is in a Foster halaman awal on 29th Street. No need to thank me for getting anda out of this mess" berkata Regina.

"Actually I'm not sure if I'm going to take him back. I'm thinking about keeping him" berkata Emma.

Regina's face at that moment had a critical expression. "I'm not so sure that's a good idea. A child needs a lot of attention, help, and are a big responsibility. I just don't think you're ready to become a mother. You're not exactly very responsible and you're someone who likes to just look out for yourself" berkata Regina.

"Well maybe I am ready to be a mom and take on responsibility" berkata Emma.

"Oh honey, I cinta anda but I know you're not ready yet. anda don't even have any room for him here in your apartment. You're really not ready for responsibility, especially like this. Take my saran Emma only one of us knows what's best for this child" berkata Regina.

"Why do anda always have to criticize me?" asked Emma.

"I'm not criticizing you, I'm helping you" answered Regina.

"Well, I don't need you're help and I don't want it either. I just wish for once anda could try to be supportive. anda never believe in me unless it's something anda want me to do. Well, I want to do this. This kid needs his best chance and I think that's with me" berkata Emma.

"Emma, I'm only thinking of what's best for anda and my grandson. I called the Foster halaman awal and they're expecting him there tonight, try not to be there too late" berkata Regina as she left.

Hours went oleh and Emma couldn't help but feel like her mother was right. She's not responsible and maybe she isn't ready for this. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, it was Mary-Margret.

"Ms. Blanchard, can I help you?" asked Emma.

"I found Henry's book at the park and I thought he'd want it back" berkata Mary-Margret.

"Oh thanks" berkata Emma.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Mary-Margret.

"No, yeah, maybe, I don't know" answered Emma.

"It's about Henry isn't it? anda want to keep him but you're not sure if you're ready" berkata Mary-Margret.

"How did anda know all that?" asked Emma.

"I guess I can read between the lines, plus I heard anda and your mom talking in the hallway. I know it's not my place but I think that since anda want to keep him and someone is telling anda that anda can't do it just means anda have to keep him. Mother's never know when they're ready to take care of a child, they just learn on the job" berkata Mary-Margret.

"Why do anda feel so strongly about this?" asked Emma.

"I don't know. I guess I just cinta kids and to see them with their mothers makes me feel like everyone should feel that kind of love. Plus I know it's weird, since we hardly know each other, I just feel like I know anda really well somehow. I know it's crazy. But I do really think that anda and Henry are exactly what anda both need. Well, I guess I'll just got now, I'll see anda in the hallway" berkata Mary-Margret as she left.

Emma felt conflicted but lebih confident that she could do this and scared at the same time. Emma however decided to go to Boston and didn't tell Henry where they were going. Finally they arrived at the Foster halaman awal and Henry was horrified.

"Please don't take me back there!" pleaded Henry.

"I have to..." started Emma.

"Please don't, they'll beat me and..." started Henry.

"You didn't let me finish. I have to so I can adopt anda and take anda halaman awal with me" berkata Emma.

"Really?" pertanyaan Henry with delight.

"Yeah, I want to keep anda kid. You're my reason for living, I hardly know anda but I feel a connection with you. I want to get to know anda and give anda a good home. I gave anda away to give anda your best chance but now I see your best chance is me" berkata Emma.

Henry gave Emma a hug and even began to cry tears of joy. "I knew anda would help me, just like you're going to help everyone."

"I don't know about helping everyone but I am here to help you, Henry" berkata Emma as she kissed the puncak, atas of her son's head.

Back at Storybrooke Regina was looking through some old family albums of her and Emma. How she longed for the days for when her little girl needed her, she tried to fool herself into thinking she still needed her. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, it was Mr. Gold.

"Mr. Gold, what a surprise" berkata Regina in an emotionless voice. "May I help you?"

"I was just in the neighborhood and I thought I'd congratulate the lucky grandmother" answered Mr. Gold.

"No congratulations are necessary. Emma took the boy back and should be back any menit now" berkata Regina.

"Really? Because I just saw your daughter with that boy getting ice cream, two peas in a pod they were" berkata Mr. Gold.

"What?" questioned Regina.

"It seemed Mary-Margret Blanchard really had an impact on her" berkata Mr. Gold.

"Mary-Margret Blanchard?" questioned Regina.

"Yes, I was collecting the rent and I overheard them talking. At least no anda have a grandson named Henry. I believe anda wanted a baby boy so anda could name him Henry. Such a lovely name" berkata Mr. Gold. "Whatever was so important about that name that anda wanted a boy so badly?"

"I don't believe that's any of your business" answered Regina.

"Just curious, since anda wanted a boy so much" berkata Mr. Gold.

"Yes, but they didn't have a boy and instead I got my wonderful Emma" berkata Regina.

"Glad anda feel that way because I lied, there was actually plenty of baby boys where I got Emma" confessed Mr. Gold.

"What? anda lied about this? anda broke our deal!" cried out the enraged Regina.

"No I didn't. There's only one deal in my entire life that I've broken and I can guarantee that it wasn't that deal" berkata Mr.Gold.

"Our deal was for anda to bring me a baby boy!" cried out Regina.

"No, anda requested a baby boy, I never promised I would make your request happen. Our deal was for me to bring anda a baby, which I did" Mr. emas corrected. "Speaking of Emma have anda noticed that on her birthday that the old clock started working, then when she left with her boy it just stopped, and when she came back it just started working again? Quite interesting isn't it?"

"There's a reason anda brought me Emma isn't there? Who is she?" asked Regina.

"I would say anda know exactly who she is" answered Mr. Gold. "Now I really must be going."

Regina ran in front of Mr. emas determined to find out what she wants to know. " Tell me what anda know about her!" she demanded.

"I'm not going to answer anda dear" answered Mr. Gold. "So I suggest anda excuse me... please..."

At that moment Regina moved out of Mr. Gold's way. The mysterious man then walked away as Regina just stared with frustration, curiosity, and fear.
