Hours later, Emma and company arrived in Storybrooke, but in Emma's case, returned. Stopping her yellow bug in the middle of town, she surveyed the whole area, unable to believe that this is the same cursed town that she and Henry left behind. Now they're back, well sort of since Henry doesn't remember and Harry is new here.

Getting out of the car she looked around, still dumbfounded that it's back. Turning back to the car, she saw her two sons dead asleep in the back leaning against each other. Seeing them completely unaware of the magic they just entered brought a faint smile to her face, they are so innocently unaware of what they're in for.

"Swan," Killian came to her side, averting her attention to the pirate, "If memory serves me correctly, you gave birth to only one child." he said, holding up his index finger for emphasis, "Unless that's his long lost twin and you found him over the period you weren't here." he added, glancing at the slumbering boys for a moment before returning to Emma.

Emma sighed, "He's my adopted son. I found him a year ago, and Henry and I couldn't let him go, not after all he's suffered." she said, giving him the short version since she didn't have time to divulge any more information, not while there's more pressing matters to attend to.

Looking at the town around her again, "It's really back...I'm really back." she said, still finding it hard to believe that she has returned to the one place she has forgotten.

"It's quite homie as you remember." Killian added, knowing that this is quite a shock for her considering what happened in the span of one day.

"As cursed as I remember." Emma said as Killian reached under his coat to pull out his hook and fastening it to its rightful place where his left hand used to be, "That's more like it." he said with a grin as Emma gave him a deadpanned look, "How are you going to explain that to them?" she questioned looking to her sleeping sons.

"That's more your concern. Perhaps it will jog Henry's memory." he said, looking back at Emma, though he was joking, he was also serious.

"Or give them nightmares." Emma said before looking around again, "Last time this curse took away everyone's memories. This time…?" she enquired, needing more information to know how this happened.

Killian shook his head, "We don't know what it did." he said regretfully, wishing he knew more.

"Then I'll find out." Emma said before she ordered the pirate, "Stay here and watch the boys. Don't wake them, or scare them-or just...let them sleep." she said, shaking her head at her ridiculous situation before walking away.

Killian nodded, "Aye. Where are you going?" he asked as Emma turned around, still walking, "To talk to my parents." was the last thing she said before walking in the direction of her parents' apartment, leaving Killian alone with her boys.

Killian turned to the two brothers, still finding it hard to process the fact that his Swan would go out of her way to add another to her flock. Though he had to admit, this Harry boy makes quite an addition to her family.

Killian turned to his side and found a cat perched on the yellow bug's hood, staring up at him, "Can I help you?" Killian asked, knowing he won't get an answer out of the feline. For a long time, all the cat did was stare at the pirate before averting it's eyes to the boys inside the car before jumping off said car and walking away.

Killian shrugged, finding it to be typical cat behavior as he stood guard outside that bug, waiting for Emma to return.

Hidden in the alleyway, the cat morphed back into its true form as an elderly witch. Ever since the Dursley's arrest, she has made it her task to watch over Harry and how he grows with the Swans. Satisfied to say that the Mother and son became a good influence on his life. Not only is he happy, but she could feel the magic growing steady within him. Yet now, in this strange place, surrounded with various types of magic as left her worried. Not only is this town cursed, but she senses dark witches nearby.

"This is not good at all." she said before disappearing with a wave of her wand to inform the headmaster with her latest update.

Emma stood in front of her parents' apartment door, still not sure how they'll react when they meet Harry for the first time, or him with them. She sighed, "So many bridges to cross." she said before knocking on the, ready to see her parents after a whole year.

The door opened to reveal her Father, David, still young after being frozen in a curse for 30 years previously. "Hi." Emma greeted, watching David's stunned face before realizing that he might not remember her with the new curse taking their memories, "Don't close the door, I'm-my name is-" "Emma." he breathed out, happy and relieved to see his daughter.

"Da-David?" Emma said, almost calling his 'Dad' before stepping forward and hugging him, which he returned with full force.

David almost couldn't catch his breath, his daughter is back again, "You remember." he exclaimed, happy that she has her memories back.

Emma pulled away, "You remember." she said, still reeling at the fact that her Father remembers with the new curse in place.

"Of course, but...what are you doing here?" David asked, unsure what's going on as Emma walked into the apartment, "Well Hook found me, he brought me here and he said you were cursed." she explained, trying to figure out how everyone came back.

"We're back...or, we never left, or...well, we don't know." David said, shaking his head and added, "We're trapped again."

"But you know who you are." Emma stated as David shook his head again, "This curse. We don't know who did it or why...all we know is that our last year has been wiped away."

"'Wiped away?'" Emma repeated, "All we remember is saying 'goodbye' to you. It feels like yesterday." he said, the painful memory of saying goodbye to his daughter again still fresh in his mind.

"But if you can't remember, then how do you know it's been a-" "Emma?" Emma turned to familiar voice of her Mother who came down the stairs towards her, "-year?" she finished as Mary Margaret embraced her in a hug.

Mary Margaret pulled away, unable to form words as she beheld her daughter, feeling like it's been years, though it was yesterday for her since her memories were wiped.

"As you can see," David began, his hand wrapping around his wife's shoulder, a smile in place despite the circumstances, "a lot has happened." he said as Emma stared at her Mother's pregnant belly that held a child.

Mary let out an incredulous laugh, "We just don't know what. The whole year is gone." she said, looking into her daughter's confused eyes.

"Who the hell could've done this?" Emma said, looking at both of her parents, still in shock at this new revelation.

David shook his head, "We don't know, no one in this town remembers the previous year." he answered regretfully, wanting answers just as much before he realized something, "Where's Henry, is he with you?" he asked, watching Emma's reaction that changed from shock to discomfort.

"Emma, what happened?" Mary enquired as Emma shifted where she stood, "Um, you guys might wanna sit down for what I'm about to tell you." she said before she and her parents went to the dining table where they all sat in a semicircle with David across from Emma and Mary between them.

Emma took deep breath before exhaling, "Okay, a lot has happened this past year. Between us, you got the easy job as parents." she began, eyeing Mary's belly, "But for me, it's something I haven't told Henry...or Harry." she said, watching their confused expressions.

"Who's Harry?" David asked his and Mary's question as Emma took another deep breath, "Harry...is my adopted son." she answered as their eyes widened and their mouths gaped.

They stayed silent for what felt like an hour as Emma looked between her parents, "Really? Silence is your response." she said in a deadpan tone that snapped them out of their stupor.

"We're just trying to process adopted a son?" Mary said, flabbergasted at the thought of having another grandchild so soon.

Emma nodded before David asked, "How old is he, and where did you find him?"

"He's 10 years old. Henry's age. Their birthdays are twelve hours apart, but so close that they've been calling themselves twins." Emma said, smiling as she took out her phone to pull up the picture she uses as her wallpaper and showed them what her adopted son looks like.

Mary's hand flew to her mouth as she looked at the picture that showed all three of them gathered around a cake that said 'Welcome Harry Potter-Swan' with the boy wearing glasses they assumed was Harry in the middle with his new Mom and brother at his sides.

David had a tearful smile when he saw how happy Emma and her children were, "He's beautiful Emma." he said, Mary nodded with happy tears in her eyes as she gave the phone back to Emma who had her own fond smile as she looked at her picture as well.

"The moment Henry and I found him, we couldn't let him go. We've had him for a year, a year full of love and family. Something no one gave him before we saved him." Emma said, staring at her sons, committing their smiles to memory before her smile turned into one filled with regret, "But now...I have cursed him to live here while I fight a battle he might never understand." she said, fearing that she would lose her sons. While Henry might not be able to remember his life in Storybrooke and the adventures he had, the land and life here is a stranger to Harry, something he might not accept and want no part of.

Emma sniffed as she struggled to compose herself, "I, uh, have to get back to my boys. I left Killian with them to babysit." she said as she got up from her chair.

"Wait, you left a pirate alone with your sons?" David asked incredulously as he too got up and walked his daughter to the door with the intention of seeing his grandsons.

"Yeah, I know, not my best parenting moment." Emma said as she got to the door before turning to her Father, "Meet me at Granny's Diner in the morning, I'll introduce you to my sons, but you need to play it cool." she said, stressing the word, not wanting to freak her sons out with magic or people who know one of them without meeting them.

David nodded, "We understand, goodnight Emma." he said, looking like he wanted to hug his daughter goodnight, but Emma was already opening the door, "Thanks guys, I'll see you in the morning, good night." she said, waving as she left the apartment.

This left David and Mary alone, still shocked to find out that they have another grandchild, even without the blood relation. "Yesterday we said goodbye to our daughter and grandson..." Mary Margaret began, "...now we're about to become parents and grandparents again." she said, realizing how crazy their life has become.

David thought of something, "Out of curiosity, is Thanksgiving or Christmas around the corner?" he asked, not sure which dinner or holiday would be more chaotic with their newly added family members taking part in their lives.

Sorry for the delay, just finished with finals. When RoseMeg1 reviewed and asked me to post one more chapter before New Years, I couldn't resist. That was the push I needed. I hope you all like this chapter, though it was delayed, at least you all didn't have to wait a year.

Until then, leave me a review and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
