Emma Swan Interactions. - Tumblr Posts

                emma  was  on  her  way  home  from  a  shift  at  the  station  when  she  came  across  lo’ak.  she  just  wanted  to  make  sure  he  was  okay  and  wasnt  in  need  of  assistance.  ‘  its  not  safe  to  sleep  on  the  beach  are  you  okay?  ‘  emma  asked  as  she  kneeled  down  in  front  of  him.  ‘  do  you  need  a  ride  somewhere?  ‘  emma  asked  figuring  she  still  had  her  cop  car  so  it  would  be  fine.

“huh, what?” lo’ak said, in a daze as he thought he heard someone say something to him. “sleeping? no, no. just resting my eyes,” he said, sitting up on his blanket. he had definitely been asleep, but with no idea how long. but people fell asleep on the beach all the time, surely he can’t be that out of place. granted, not in the winter. but lo'ak was wrapped up. he just liked to be near the water. it felt more like home to him than this town, especially now he had his memories back.  “totally awake. totally,” lo’ak said, betraying the sentence with a yawn. @ivycovestarters

              something  felt  wrong  but  no  matter  how  hard  emma  tried  to  figure  it  out  the  more  emma  didnt  couldnt  tell.  after  emma  stared  at  the  ceiling  ,  so  after  a  while  emma  tried  to  get  up  without  waking  neal. but  when  she  heard  his  voice  ,  she  turned  a  bit  too  look  down  at  him.  when  he  asked  if  she  couldnt  sleep  ,  emma  nodded  slightly  but  shook  her  head  when  he  asked  if  she  wanted  coco.  ‘  no  ,  its  okay.  ‘  she  didnt  want  to  keep  him  up  any  longer  then  she  has.

It felt entirely too early to be awake, or at least it felt like it. It was only because he had felt movement that he had woken up, he'd always been a light sleeper. He'd put that down to signs of a mis-spent youth, after all it wasn't as if he had ever lived a life where he was afraid of something happening when he was asleep. That was another life, one he still couldn't remember.

Looking up, it seemed that this was more than just Emma moving in her sleep. Well he could get coffee in the morning, he'd rather make sure she was alright. "Can't sleep either?" he asked, "I can go make some coco or something?"

@sunshiinefades for Emma

               emma  felt  like  she  was  going  crazier  every  day  that  passed  but  still  pushed  through  so  that  no  one  questioned  her  about  it.  the  last  thing  she  thought  would  happen  today  was  someone  mistaking  her  ,  but  when  emma  turned  to  look  at  the  girl  a  shock  ran  up  her  spine.  the  younger  blonde  looked  a  lot  like  her  ,  wait  did  she  say  mom?  ‘  im  sor-  wait  how  do  you  know  neal?  ‘  emma  was  thrown  off  by  everything  happening  in  the  moment

@sunshiinefades (Hope & Emma)

Hope should know better, she knows that she should know better, and yet, when the blonde sees her mom down the street, it's like she's a little girl again, wanting the comfort of her mother, so her feet are the first thing to respond as she jogs her way over. "Mom!" She yells, only stopping right before she collides into her. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you, but I'm not surprised after seeing Neal and papa her-wait." All the blood rushes out of her face as she frowns. "Do you remember Henry or Storybrooke?"

             emma  had  usually  been  able  to  hide  her  emotions  ,  put  a  mask  on  to  show  the  world  she  was  brave.  but  with  neal  ,  emma  was  like  an  open  book  with  him.  ‘  something  doesnt  feel  right.  ‘  emma  admitted  looking  down  at  the  comforter  under  her  ,  emma  loved  her  life.  emma  had  finally  reunited  with  anna,  she  had  a  job  that  she  liked  waking  up  for  everyday  and  she  loved  neal.  but  something  felt  like  it  was  missing  and  emma  really  couldnt  explain  it.

"Is it?" well he didn't have her super power when it came to lies, but he knew her. "Is this about the murder?" that had been the biggest change around here recently, and since then it had felt like people had been loosing their minds. Or perhaps it was him, he was the one in the wrong because nothing had come back to him. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to or not. This was his life, he was happy here, and he didn't much care for a different life if it meant there he wasn't with Emma.

               emma  was  starting  to  hate  leaving  the  house  ,  things  got  more  and  more  confusing  with  the  more  people  show  up.  admittedly  she  wasnt  paying  much  attention  to  the  people  around  her.  emma  had  planned  on  getting  a  cup  of  coffee  before  her  shift  but  it  seemed  like  the  universe  had  other  plans  for  her  morning.  emma  turned  towards  the  direction  of  her  name.  the  man  looked  familiar  ,  like  she  knew  him  but  the  longer  she  tried  to  pull  who  it  could  be  the  more  it  slipped  from  her.  ‘  yes?  ‘  emma  asked  still  trying  to  figure  it  out. 

If nothing else, right now he was angry. Another curse it seemed, only this time he couldn't even find any of his family. At least with the Evil Queen's curse, Snow had been there and Emma had found them. This time, it felt like he was completely alone. Still he had never really been one to wallow in self-pity, and he knew if he wanted to find them he had to act. Something that seemed to have happened by chance that morning. "Emma?" oh he'd know his daughter anywhere, but something seemed off here. She'd have seen him long before he saw her.

@sunshiinefades for Emma

                 emma  had  been  trying  to  balance  work  and  figuring  out  what  the  hell  was  going  on.  neal  had  been  her  rock  in  the  chaos  that  seemed  to  follow  her  these  days  ,  he  did  so  much  for  her  that  emma  would  do  anything  to  help  make  his  life  a  bit  easier  when  she  could.  the  diner  was  on  her  way  to  the  station  so  it  wasnt  out  of  her  way  so  emma  decided  to  help  her  husband  out.  emma  in  tended  on  ordering  a  hot  chocolate  to  go  as  she  walked  in  but  her  name  had  stopped  her  in  her  tracks.  turning  to  look  at  killian  ,  something  about  the  man  seemed  familiar.  the  way  he  spoke  her  name  made  her  feel  something  emma  couldnt  quite  place  her  finger  on.  ‘  uh  yeah  ,  killian  right?  ‘

Killian shifted the box in his hands uncomfortably, the few light items inside clamoring against the sides of the container with the movement. He hadn't been cleaning; not really anyways. Rather, he had been desperately searching his house for any signs of his past life; any proof that these memories which had suddenly come upon him were real or that this life which he had come to know was fake. In the process, he had happened upon a few of Neal's old things. Desperate to get rid of them - or moreso, to absolve himself of the sudden confused memories and emotions associated with looking at them - he was eager to pass the responsibility onto someone more deserving. Neal had been too busy to meet today, but his wife had volunteered to take his place in the brief exchange, and he was happy to oblige; losing the items would make him one step closer to becoming the man he used to be, one step farther from the version of himself his false memories portrayed. 

He had met his friend's wife before, albeit briefly, but enough that he was confident he would recognize her. Enough that he was sure he would be able to find her, quickly pass off Neal's goods, and fuck off to the closest bar or other establishment of drinks and debauchery. What he hadn't expected, however, was his reaction to the woman as she entered the coffee shop. Stormy blue hues landed upon the icy blonde waves at the entrance, a lump forming in his throat as he quickly took in the woman: the way her hair sat just right on her shoulders, the way her uniform hugged her body, the natural beauty in her face shining even in its neutral resting position. His stomach dropped as she approached, his brow furrowing and eyes widening at his involuntary reaction to her presence. " Emma? " The name escaped his mouth before he could even process what he was saying, foreign yet seemingly all-too-familiar on his lips, the mere sound of it causing butterflies to take flight as the lump in his throat grew so heavy he could barely swallow.

            emma  felt  bad  looking  at  the  young  women  ,  neal  hadnt  said  anything  about  running  into  the  younger  blonde  but  the  younger  women  was  clearly  telling  emma  the  truth.  it  was  clear  the  girl  believed  what  she  was  saying  was  true  ,  but  the  more  she  talked  the  more  it  didnt  sound  right.  emma  married  and  had  a  kid  with  captain  hook  as  well  as  her  parents  being  snow  white  &  prince  charming?  none  of  that  made  sense  ,  also  a  son  with  her  husband  but  no  sign  of  him?  emma  had  a  lot  of  questions  floating  around  her  head  but  before  she  could  form  a  question  a  book  popped  up  in  the  girls  hand.  it  took  everything  in  emma  not  to  take  a  step  back  out  of  shock  because  things  had  been  weird  since  the  mayors  death  but  not  books  appearing  out  of  thin  air.  ‘  i  can  tell  you  arent  lying  but  all  of  that  is  just  really  unbelievable.  especially  the  fact  i  have  two  kids  that  i  dont  remember  giving  birth  too  or  the  fact  that  one  of  those  kids  is  supposed  to  be  with  my  husband.  ‘

Opening and closing her mouth, Hope actually smiles, shaking her head. "Hold that thought, mom, I think I'm about to go crazy out of frustration." She says, hiding her face in her hands for a moment before taking in a deep breath and putting her hands back down, a look of pleading in her bright blue eyes. "I don't know how else to explain this without sounding insane, because Neal thinks I'm crazy and papa threatened to kill me, which was new and more terrifying than I'd like to admit, but my name is Hope, I'm your daughter with Killian Jones aka Captain Hook, I have a half-brother named Henry, he's your son with Neal, you were born in a land called the Enchanted Forest, your parents are Snow White and Prince Charming, but there was a curse incoming and you became the Savior, helping break a curse set upon all the fairytale characters who had lost their memories. Um, you have magic due to true love, I have magic as well because of you and papa." She holds out a hand and a book pops up in a puff of smoke. "You can see that if you'd like, you also have an ability to tell when someone is lying so you can use that on me."

              emma  sighed  lightly  and  laid  back  down  in  the  bed  before  nodding  her  head  at  his  question.  ‘  yeah  i  think  so.  ‘   emma  rolled  to  her  side  so  she  could  look  at  neal  ,  she  was  thankful  to  not  being  going  through  this  alone.  emma  really  didnt  know  what  she  would  do  without  neal.  when  neal  said  that  could  do  something  about  it  ,  emma  looked  up  with  him  with  a  bit  of  confusion  on  her  face.  ‘  how?  ‘

"Since the murder?" it wasn't like he hadn't felt that, but he'd been putting it down to people around here recently acting so weirdly. Then there was still what that girl had said the other day. Most of it sounded ridiculous he knew that, but hadn't she mentioned a son? Didn't seem like the type of thing anyone would forget, but it was stuck in his mind. "Baby, your instincts are always right. If it's not feeling right, we can try and do something about it?" well he had learnt a long time ago to trust her instincts.

                emma  had  gotten  off  a  long  shift  and  she  was  exhausted  ,  but  she  would  move  mountains  for  anna  if  she  asked.  plus  with  all  the  weird  stuff  going  on  emma  needed  to  be  around  family  ,  so  a  little  detour  before  home  was  something  that  emma  agreed  to  without  question.  when  emma  heard  anna’s  voice  ,  the  blonde  turned  her  head  in  the  direction  and  gave  her  younger  sister  a  smile.  once  there  emma  slid  into  the  seat  across  from  her.  ‘  hey  kid  ,  how  are  you  doing?  ‘

Anna shifted nervously in her seat, clicking her phone on and checking the time for what felt like the hundredth time that minute. Even though she met up with her sister regularly, she couldn't help but feel anxious every time. Their age gap paired with them not growing up together had led to them not being as close as most siblings, and with her being so much older and mature and respectable, not to mention that she had a husband now? She couldn't help but psych herself out, the voice in the back of her head wondering if this would be the time Emma finally realizes that Anna is just too young and immature and silly and uncool for her.

The ding of the cafe's bell pulled her out of her worries, the young woman's face lighting up as she saw her sister enter the room. "Emma! Over here!" she called, waving frantically to grab the woman's attention.

              emma  had  a  heard  time  with  the  information  she  had  been  finding  out  over  the  last  couple  weeks.  she  had  spent  a  lot  of  time  in  her  cop  car  looking  at  the  it  and  thinking  over  the  words  the  younger  women  spoke  too  her.  part  of  her  was  scared  because  what  if  the  girl  was  right  ,  and  emma  really  isnt  married  to  neal.  that  fear  also  felt  like  she  had  it  before  which  then  scared  her  even  more.  ‘  hmmm  ,  dont  think  so.  ‘  emma  joked  back  trying  to  keep  herself  in  the  moment  and  not  thinking  about  the  worries  that  seemed  to  plague  her  daily  these  days.  ‘  good  ima  hold  you  too  it.  ‘

“I’m so lucky to have you in my life.” emma & neal

"Think I'm the lucky one" and hadn't he always believed that? How he'd ever got so lucky to be with her, he didn't know, but it was a feeling he was never going to let go of if he could help it. Whatever other craziness was going on outside, least once they closed the door, it didn't seem to matter as much. "But you never have to worry about that, I'm never going anywhere" the thought of loosing her was too much, except the thought of it felt like a memory rather than a fear.

@sunshiinefades

            emma  only  felt  confused  talking  to  him  ,  because  someone  who  only  knew  someone  in  passing  didnt  stop  the  other.  but  she  also  could  tell  he  wasnt  telling  the  whole  truth.  ‘  sorry  i  dont  ,  but  you  seem  familiar.  ‘  emma  admitted  ,  but  she  didnt  know  if  she  was  ready  for  him  to  tell  her  he  was  some  kinda  family  she  didnt  remember.  the  conversation  she  had  with  the  young  women  had  been  weighting  on  her  already.  

And there was one of his worst fears, the complete lack of recognition in her eyes. She didn't have her memories, what on earth did he do with that? Technically he'd only been a year older, he could hardly tell her he was father, he knew how it would sound. All he could do now was hope that she was safe, and selfishly hope that she would end up remembering. "You don't remember do you?" a bit of a dangerous question, but he had to at least try. "We met a while ago. Small island" though he didn't think they ever had during the curse. If that's even what it was this time.

                  emma  looked  at  him  as  he  spoke  ,   she  had  her  own  worries  when  it  came  to  their  relationship.  because  what  if  it  was  true  ,  they  werent  really  married  and  she  did  have  a  kid  with  another  man  emma  had  no  clue  what  it  would  mean  for  the  relationship.  emma  nodded  her  head  when  about  hearing  weird  things  ,  ‘  yeah  like  how  we  have  a  son  that  i  dont  remember  giving  birth  too.  ‘  emma  admitted  but  she  couldnt  help  the  gnawing  at  her  stomach  that  maybe  she  did  actually  have  one.  

"You better" not that she'd really need him to, there wasn't anywhere else he wanted to be. Ok maybe there was a lot of different places he wanted to be right now, things recently had found pretty insane around here, but there wasn't anyone else he wanted to be with. "I am serious though, whatever nonsense this place throws at us, you've got me. Been hearing a lot of weird crap recently" and he was prepared to just ignore all of it if he was honest. None of it was exactly logical after all.

@hcpefuldreaming  asked  :  “  am  i  that  easy  to  forget?  “  emma  &  hope. 

                     emma  felt  really  guilty  about  not  remembering  either  of  her  children  ,  once  the  show  appeared  in  her  house.  emma  had  been  hesitate  at  first  to  watch  it  ,  but  she  desperately  needed  answers  to  what  was  going  on.  the  first  people  emma  needed  to  see  were  her  children  and  then  her  father  and  husband.  ‘  no  of  course  not  ,  im  sorry  you  have  had  to  go  through  it.  ‘  emma  apologized  ,  guilt  clear  in  her  voice.  ‘  things  are  kinda  fucked  up  right  now  but  i  really  am  sorry  that  you  had  to  get  caught  up  in  it  by  yourself.  ‘

                 emma  had  been  struggling  with  the  information  hope  had  given  her  a  while  back.  but  after  watching  the  show  ,  emma  had  been  having  trouble  trying  to  figure  out  what  to  do.  she  had  been  hesitate  to  bring  it  up  to  neal  because  she  didnt  know  how  he  would  take  it  or  what  it  would  mean  for  them  in  the  end.  ‘  i  watched  the  show.  ‘  emma  admitted  after  a  moment  of  trying  to  think  of  if  she  should  tell  him  or  let  it  go.  

[ swipe ] sender notices a smudge of something on receiver's face and gently wipes it off ( emma & neal )

It was something that had happened countless times since they'd been together. Really he probably should take a little more care, but at the same time he had grown a little attached the action. Only tonight it felt different. Actually recently a lot of things felt different, and he didn't know why. Until recently he had thought they had much the same views on it all, now he wasn't so sure. "Thanks" he started, though being this close, something in her eyes. "Is everything ok?"

@sunshiinefades

                emma  would  love  to  just  up  and  leave  with  him  and  go  to  tallahassee  but  the  idea  felt  a  bit  wrong  as  this  point.  and  she  didnt  quite  understand  it  why  that  was  the  case.  but  when  neal  mentioned  finding  who  did  it  ,  did  sound  like  a  good  place  to  start.  ‘  finding  who  did  it  is  actually  a  really  good  place  to  start.  ‘

Least she had seemed to relax a little, though really how much anyone could relax with everything going on in town he didn't know. "Ah... hadn't actually thought that far ahead" easy to think of what to do, but the actual details were a lot harder. "Suppose the logical one is figure out the killer. Or... could just leave this all behind. Go to Tallahassee".

                 emma  felt  bad  at  his  reaction  ,  because  despite  what  he  was  saying  she  could  tell  there  was  something  missing  to  it.  his  name  had  made  her  stomach  turn  into  a  knot  ,  but  she  couldnt  place  why.  ‘  were  did  we  meet  again?  ‘  emma  asked  hoping  to  try  and  fill  some  sort  of  timeline.  she  could  tell  he  wasnt  telling  her  the  full  truth  and  she  was  trying  to  get  more  information  out  of  him.

At that he could feel his heart crack in his chest. What mattered was that she was safe, and he was trying to remember that, but it didn't stop his own pain at this new reality. What was he meant to tell her? She was his daughter? They looked the same age, and she'd likely never believe him about that. "It was a while ago... my name's David" well baby steps maybe.

               emma  had  been  hesitate  to  bring  it  up  to  him  ,  she  was  a  bit  worried about  how  he   would  take  it.  emma  had  been  worried  since  she  hadnt  actually  get  her  memories  yet  but  when  she  watched  the  show  it  felt  right.  it  also  matched  up  with  the  information  she  had  been  given  up  until  that  point.  ‘  yeah  its  true.  ‘   emma  admitted  worried  about  how  the  conversation  was  going  to  end  up.  

It was words he didn't want to hear, and yet he wasn't surprised by it either. What it would lead to though, he didn't know. He wasn't sure he even wanted to believe in some world where he died and she had been with someone else. Selfish perhaps, but he had never claimed he wasn't. "So is it true? The kid I mean" the rest he didn't want to think about, but what if they did have a son, what sort of father forgot that?

                  emma  honestly  didnt  know  how  she  felt  about  it  all  ,  even  though  she  watched  her  life  unfolded  on  the  tv.  that  in  itself  also  really  fucked  with  her  a  bit  ,  emma  had  also  been  nervous  about  how  neal  was  gonna  react  to  it.  she  also  hated  the  fact  that  not  only  did  she  fail  one  kid  but  ultimately  she  failed  two  kids.  ‘  i  dont  know  how  but  its  apparently  true.  ‘  emma  felt  like  she   hadnt  fully  processed  it  all  yet  because  she  didnt  know  how  to  go  about  it.

"How can we have a kid that neither of us remember?" and he knew that wasn't her fault, but it didn't make sense. He had made a lot of mistakes, but he had never wanted to be a bad parent, he had wanted to be better then that. Seemed the memories of it had been taken from his mind. There was other things he knew he'd need to ask, he just wasn't sure he wanted the answers to it. "How are you coping with it?"

             emma  didnt  know  what  any  of  this  ment  for  them  going  forward  ,  at  first  emma  had  hoped  that  the  craziness  would  blow  over  soon  but  it  didnt  seem  like  it  was  going  to.  ‘  i  dont  know  how  its  possible  either.  ‘  emma  shook  her  head  softly  she  also  didnt  know  what  it  would  mean  for  them  if  it  was  all  true.  ‘  yeah  ,  she  came  and  found  me  at  work.  ‘

"Henry" that was the name he'd been told anyway, and it didn't make sense. Sure it was possible he could have a kid he didn't know about, but this was a whole new extreme. Besides if he started believing in that, then there was everything else that she said, and that he didn't want to think about. "Not an easy one to think about... not sure how we'd have forgotten something like that" and that was a bigger problem. "Did... did Hope tell you that?" well so much for not going into the fire, but maybe it was better to talk about it... maybe not.

                       emma  nodded  slightly  ,   she  didnt  like  the  idea  of  there  being  a  reality  were  they  didnt  get  their  happy  ending.  she  didnt  know  what  it  meant  for  them  if  they  did  acknowledge  that  it  actually  happened.  ‘  i  watched  it  with  my  own  eyes  ,  so  it  either  happened  or  some  magical  force  is  fucking  with  us.  either  way  there  has to be magic involved.  ‘   despite  what  the  show  says  is  their  outcome  ,  emma  didnt  want  to  end  things.  he  was  her  rock  and  they  were  in  it  together. 

"Do we actually have any proof that any of this is real?" he might be trying to go with something that wasn't real, but from what he had heard about this so-called real life, he wasn't sure he wanted it to be real. He loved Emma, all he wanted was for her to be happy. But that didn't mean he was exactly thrilled that apparently they were from some other version of events where he was dead and she had married someone else. "I mean, neither of us remember it, and none of it sounds like something you'd forget".
