Fandom: Once Upon A Time
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3,226
Characters/Pairings: Emma/Regina, Henry Mills, Ruby Lucas, David Nolan, Mary-Margaret Blanchard
Summary: Emma knows Henry can't remember, but she wants him to know Regina is his mother. His other mother. Surely, there's a story she can come up with that could explain how Henry has two mothers...

The town meeting was in an uproar. Some were frantically looking for their loved ones in the crowd. Others were shouting accusations, usually in regards to the absent Regina. Many more were simply demanding to know how the changes of the lost year had happened to them—whether it be ornate tattoos, elaborate hairdos, or in the case of one woman, a thick, bushy beard.

“People, people, please,” David called. “Calm yourselves. We’re going to get to the bottom of this, but first, there is a matter of the utmost importance and urgency to deal with.”

Out of loyalty to their King, the townspeople fell silent. Now each watched attentively to see what Snow White’s husband required of them.

“My daughter Emma has told her son Henry that Regina Mills is her ex-girlfriend so that Regina has an explainable maternal connection to Henry. Thus, we all have to act like Regina and Emma were lesbian lovers.”
