Emma Swan decided to stay in town for a while and after talking to her I think it's what Henry needs, despite what Regina may think. The Bakery has been pretty slow the last couple of days so I've decided to start opening up later, meaning I have time to visit Mary Margret before hand.
"It's good to see his smile back." I tell Emma as Mary Margret approach her
"I didn't do anything." Emma says
"You stayed. So.. does the Mayor know you're still here?" Mary Margret asks
"Oh, she knows. What is her deal? She's not a great people person, how did she get elected?" Emma asks us
"She's been Mayor as long as I can remember. No one's ever been brave enough to run against her. She inspires quite a bit of.. well, fear. " I explain to Emma
"I'm afraid I only made that worse by giving Henry that book and now he thinks she's the Evil Queen." Mary Margret says
"Who does he think you two are?" Emma asks us
"It's silly.." Mary Margret says
"I just got five minutes of silly. Lay it on me." Emma tells us
"Snow White." Mary Margret says
"Angelica, Snow Whites sister. Rumplestilskin's wife. Who does he think you are?" I ask her
"I'm not in the book.. Can I ask you a favor? Regina mentioned the kid's in therapy; do you know where I can find the doctor?" Emma asks us both
-Enchanted Forest-

"You know you have enough gold already, why keep spinning?" I ask Rumple as I walk over to him
"Helps me forget" Rumple replies, like always
"Well I got you more straw" I say as I place it down beside him as he stops spinning
"Thankyou dearie" Rumple replies
"No worries. If you need me I'll be in the library" I say before walking out of the room.
-Storybrooke-

"Angelica" a voice calls making me stop in my path and I turn around to see Henry and Mary Margret walking over to me
"What's up?" I ask as they come to a stop
"We need your help to bail out my mum" Henry says to me
"Emma?" I question and they both nod in reply "Lead the way"

"HEY!" Henry calls as we walk into the station where Graham is with Emma
"Henry! Henry, what are you doing here?" Graham asks him
"His mother told him what happened." Mary Margret answers
"Of course she did!" Emma says before turning to address Henry "I don't know what she said--"
"You're a genius!" Henry says, cutting her off
"What?" Emma questions
"I know what you were up to" Henry says before whispering to Emma "I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost.." Graham says
"It's need to know, Sheriff, and all you need to know is that Miss Blanchard and Miss Black are gonna bail her out." Henry answers
"You are? Why?" Emma asks us
"I--uh—trust you." Mary Margret says
"So do I. Also it's fun seeing Regina get rilled up" I tell her with a smile
"Well. If you could uncuff me I have something to do."
-Later on-
After releasing Emma, Mary Margret and I headed back to her apartment which so far has consisted of wine and a good catch up. Mary Margret was halfway through questioning me about my relationship with Gold when there was a knock on the door, which Mary Margret jumped up to answer
"Hey" I hear Emma say so I get up and walk over to the door "Just wanted to say thank you and, um, pay you back the bail money" Emma explains as she hands us each an envelope
"You look like you need to talk." Mary Margret tells her as she nods her head to the sofa.
The three of us take a seat on the sofa as we each sit with a hot coco infront of us with a plate of cookies"Cinnamon?" Emma questions
"Oh, I'm sorry. I should have asked. It's a little quirk of mine. Do you mind?" Mary Margret asks her
"Not at all. When you bailed me out, you said.. that you trusted me.Why?" Emma asks us
"It's strange—ever since you arrived here, I've had the oddest feeling, like we've met before. I mean, I know it's crazy." Mary Margret tells her
"I'm starting to reevaluate my definition of crazy." Emma says
"For what it's worth, I think you're innocent." I say as I take a sip of my hot coco
"Of breaking and entering, or just in general?" Emma asks
"Whichever makes you feel better." I reply with a laugh
"Doesn't really matter what anyone thinks I did or didn't do. I'm leaving. Thank you for everything, but I think it's for the best. If I stay, Henry's only gonna keep getting hurt." Emma explains making both Mary Margret and I glance at each other.
"What happens if you go?" Mary Margret asks but Emma says nothing
"I think the very fact that you want to leave is why you have to stay. You care about him. Who will protect Henry if you won't?"
