Promises | C.9

"Henry! You told me that you were at the arcade", Regina said grabbing his hand.

"It's okay Regina, he was with me and Winter", Emma said trying to reassure the worried mother.

"I've told you already Ms. Swan, I don't want you no where near Henry", Regina said looking the blonde woman up in down. Winter scrunched up her eyebrows at her mother behavior.

"Mom! Emma was simply helping out", Winter explained as Regina looked at her daughter.

Mr. Whale came and interrupted the conversation.

"Ms. James, paitent David Nolan demands to see you", Whale said as Winter took a quick glance at Emma.

"Come with me, please", Winter asked the blonde woman, who nodded her head.

Enchanted Forest

1 year and three months. That's how long Winter was cursed to think that she lost her child and David left her for her sister.

She constantly thought about how her life would be if that never happened. How round her stomach would look if she still was pregnant.

Over the months she was to lazy to do anything. Usually she'll sit by the docks and look at how the ocean crashed.

That's where she met Killian Jones. He was funny to say. He always made her laugh even when she had the worst days.

Soon Winter found out that her sister, Snow White, was expecting. She was pregnant with David's child. Winter cried her eyes out.

At the moment she got an letter from David, Snow was in labor. Winter stood frozen, she hadn't talked to Snow ever since.

Quickly throwing on a hooded coat, Winter opened the window to see black clouds.

"The curse", Winter whispered to herself, her eyes widening. She climbed the window looking down at the ground.

A knock on the door frightened Winter.

"Princess Winter, your mother wishes for your safety-",The guard said walking in before seeing Winter.

Looking at the guard, Winter smirked before jumping.

"Tell the Queen that the princess escaped, hurry!"

...

Running into the Charming Castle, Winter was immediately met by the dwarfs.

"Took you long enough, blondie", Grumpy said as Winter closed and locked the doors.

"Where's Snow?", She asked them. All seven of them pointed to the right hall.

Kissing them on the cheeks, she ran past them hearing screams of labor.

Winter peeked her head through the cracked door, there was her older sister giving birth.

"What the hell, I thought she wasn't supposed to give birth until another week", Winter said going in catching the attention of David and Snow.

"Winter...", David breathed out as she held out her hand.

"Save it, I'm here for my sister, charming"

Winter rushed tp her sister side and held her hand as she began to push again.

"Winter, your here", Snow breathlessly said as she looked at her little sister smiling. Winter returned the smile, happily.

"I wouldn't miss the birth of my niece for nothing", She giggled knowing the gender of the child since Rumple told her. David had a shock look on his face.

"It's a girl?", David said as he looked at Snow who was on her last push. Winter nodded at him before turning to her sister, once again.

"One more push and the baby is going to be here, Snow", Winter said as she walked in front of Snow as David went and held her hand for support.

Snow breathed in and took one last big push. Soon crys filled the room. David instantly looked at his daughter. She was beautiful, but she favored Winter more than she did Snow. She didn't favor snow at all.

"What's her name?", David said as he looked at his wife. Snow looked at him a little unsure.

"Emma-Marie Nolan", Winter said voicing out her thoughts. The married couple quickly turned their heads to her.

"Emma-Marie", David tried it out. "It's perfect, Winter", Snow said smiling widely as a dwarf came rushing in with the magic tree.

"The Black knights are here, we don't have much time", Doc said breathelessly. Winter quickly took Emma into her arms and ran out with David behind her, fighting off the guards.

Winter and David went rushing down the hallway and came across the knights.

"Princess Winter, your mother is going to be very disappointed in you", One of the Black Knights said trying to get her on their side.

"My step mother always said to do what's right, I'm doing exactly what she said", Winter said before swinging the sword with one hand causing her to get stabbed in the stomach.

"What did you do?", David asked quietly as Winter winced in pain, still holding on tightly to Emma-Marie.

David quickly went back to fighting, telling Winter to get out of here. Winter slowly got up and limped ran to the room with the tree. Arriving there, Winter felled onto the floor, her vision blurry.

"Emma-Marie, I love you and hope that you have a great life, here is something to remember me by", Winter said taking off her necklace that had the words be kind - mother carved into it. It was given to her by her mother, Cruella. David bursted into the room with a sword in his shoulder. He locked the doors and bent down next to Winter, kissing her forehead.

Banging and shouting was heard at the door as Winter silently cried. She held tightly onto Emma-Marie, not wanting to let her go.

"This could've been us, David, giving our child away to some world that we don't know", Winter said as David let a few tears fall, holding onto her.

"We have to let her go", David said leading Winter to the tree, opened as they carefully set Emma-Marie in it.

David closed the door as The Knights finally got in. One of them slammed David onto the floor as his vision got blurry. They opened the tree door and gasped.

"The child is gone", The knight said as Regina walked in.
