Neal followed Emma as they entered the Diner of this new town, he had come to as a way to get to know his son. Neal smiled and sat with Emma at a booth at Granny's after Henry was dropped off at school. Neal looked around, and then sat there looking at Emma smiling. They hadn't seen each other in years and now he was in this new town with a son he never knew about.
Neal was sure that Emma was still mad at him, the only reason he came back with them was for Henry. Neal smiled and continued to stare at Emma, "So, this is everyone went after Regina enacted her curse huh?" Neal asked as a way to start the conversation.

It had been 11 years and 9 months since she'd seen Neal. A very long time and they didn't depart on the best of terms. Now that he knew Henry was his son and Henry knew she had lied to him, there was a rift between them now. What was worse was that now she knew that Gold or Rumpelstiltskin was Henry's grandfather, she almost felt bad for the kid. But that was behind them now. Now they were coming upon Granny's diner and she had agreed to have a talk to Neal about everything. She was sure that he wanted to know why she hadn't told him about Henry. All the things that normal couples going through these things would go through. Though they would go through these discussions while they were pregnant. Not eleven years later. What was she going to say? It wasn't like she had answers that she could give him. Taking a seat across from Baelfire/Neal Cassidy and watched as Ruby brought over their drinks. Of course hers was a hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon. "Thanks, Ruby." She had to wonder what everyone was like in the Enchanted Forest. Though she was still a tad bitter about being abandoned. "Yeah, I guess so. I was found just outside of town in the woods. August brought me here to Granny's." She took a sip of her drink. "So I take it you have some questions, Neal?"

Neal smiled and took his coffee from Ruby and then looked at Emma as she took her hot chocolate from the same waitress. Neal looked around the Diner and then looked back at Emma. She was right, he did have alot of questions, but he wasn't sure where to start.
Neal took a sip of his drink and then decided to just go with it. Neal sighed and began with his questions "So, did you know you were pregnant before I left?" Neal wasn't sure why he started with that question and was pretty sure he wouldn't like the answer either way, but, at least it may help him understand things better. Neal didn't know the conversation would be this awkward, but, he needed to know about his son. Neal knew nearly everything about life in the Enchanted Forest, but, knew nothing about his own flesh and blood.

Of course she didn't expect to find him in New York when she was helping Gold find his son Baelfire. Nor did she expect to find out that he was Baelfire himself. Rubbing her cheek, she smiled a bit. "It's good to see you, you know. She was dressed as she normally was, though she had her sheriff's badge on. She was pissed at him yes, but feelings had always been there and were still strong. Stronger now that they were together again. Another drink she took. Trying to think of a way to answer the question. "You know I wasn't so sure if I could come here today. I don't even know why I am. Maybe I owe it to Henry." Dipping her finger into the whipped cream as she put it into her mouth, Emma fell silent as she considered answering his question. "No, I didn't know, Neal. I found out after you left me to the cops and sent me to jail." A frown on her face as she looked right at him. "Why do care? You left me there, Neal." She was angry and rightly so.

Neal smiled as she said that she was glad to see him. Neal took another swig of his coffee. Neal looked down at the table and guiltily moved his hands. He knew that Emma would still be pissed at him, she had every right to be. Neal looked back up as Emma told him about their son, Neal smiled and was excited to hear that their son is what brought her here.
Neal looked down guiltily again as she shouted at him. Neal looked at Emma and sighed before responding to her comment "Emma, I know that you're angry, but, I hope you know that if you had told me about him, I would've come back," Neal was pretty sure she wouldn't believe him, but, this was the truth.
Neal wasn't sure if it would make her feel better, but, he had to say it "I never wanted to leave you." Neal said, looking at her "But, I knew you had to fulfill your destiny and that's the only reason I did leave."

At least he remembered what it meant when she was angry. Emma had hardened since they'd been apart. No it wasn't something she liked to admit to; however it was something she had to deal with. The reason being that she was happy with Neal. They were going to go to Tallahassee together. They were all set. Plans were in motion. They were going to fence the watches that he had heisted years before they had met. Told her to meet him at nine pm. Gave her the watch to ensure she'd be on time.
Yet, here they were sitting having a drink after the curse was broken only because their son whom she had given up so long ago. Now as she sat there and the longer she stayed in town she wished she'd never given him up. "Yeah, Neal, I'm angry. I've been carrying it around for a long time. It's kinda hard to let it go after what happened." She played with the silverware on the table. "I don't think that you would have come back though. How would I have gotten a hold of you anyway? You completely abandoned me. When I got the keys to the car, there was no actual address. Threw me to the wolves so to speak." Of course the pun was intended regarding Red Riding Hood.
The fact that he told her he never wanted to leave her, it made her feel better. It did. Taking a hold of his hand, Emma looked him in the eyes. "Then why did you?" But just as she asked the question, he answered it. "How did you know about my destiny? Why didn't you tell me?" Immediately she pulled away and sat back against the booth and crossed her arms.

Neal looked at her guiltily as he realised that this was true. She didn't have any way to contact him, but, he still would have been interested in knowing somehow.
Neal looked at Emma and realized his mistake with what he said, he could have used any other words then those. I guess he had to explain. Neal sighed and looked at Emma "I was paid a visit by a friend of yours" Neal said, looking down at his coffee and then back up "August" Neal smiled and then continued "He told me all about where you were from and what you were meant to be"
Neal knew that this would make Emma even more mad, but, it's the truth. Neal looked back at Emma and answered the second part of her question. Neal wasn't sure how to answer it, but, tried anyway. "I never thought you'd believe me." Neal said, "Or even worse, I thought you might think I was crazy and leave." Neal finished, looking at Emma.

"August found you? How did he find you? So you didn't know about me the entire time? About who I was, my role in this whole thing? Us meeting was all just a coincidence?" Her voice skeptical. Wouldn't it have been for anyone else that two people who grew up in completely separate parts of the world that happened to meet under the most unusual of circumstances. She stole his stolen car happened to both be from the Enchanted Forest. "You have to admit that it sounds a bit unreal." Her brow lofted as she looked at him seriously. As he explained why he never told her where he was from and her destiny after August had paid her a visit, carefully she considered what he told her. Unfolding her arms, she placed her forearms against the edge of the table. "You're probably right. I wouldn't have believed you. Thought you were crazy. I'm not sure I would have left you. But I would have told you that you were crazy. August would have had to tell me and probably shown us the way to Storybrooke if we had still been together and kept Henry." It was a lot of ifs, but then wasn't life a bunch of ifs? Taking another sip of her hot chocolate, she put it down. This time not realizing that she had some whipped cream on her lip.

Neal smiled and then nodded "I know it sounds weird, but, I swear it was a complete coincidence." Neal told Emma who he could tell was starting to calm down. "I swear I had no idea before August found me." Neal still wasn't sure he could convince her of that, but, he knew it was the truth.
Neal looked down and took a sip of his coffee before looking back up at her. Neal was glad that she understood why he didn't say anything to her. However, he became guilty again when she told him what could have happened. He knew that this was true, however, he wasn't sure how to respond. He smiled "I am so sorry Emma" Neal said, looking at her "I know you might not believe you, but, I cared about you and I still do" Neal said, taking another sip of his coffee. Neal looked up at Emma and smiled, he noticed that she had whipped cream on her lip. "Um, you have some whipped cream on your lip there" he said, pointing.

The fact that it was a coincidence seemed unbelievable to say the least. "You have to agree with me there, Neal. I mean August is Pinocchio, you're Rumplestiltskin's son, I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. I'm living in a fairy tale." Her hands expanded slightly to show that she was flabergasted by the new things in her life. "I'm not sure what I believe anymore." According to some people.. "According to David.. my Dad, there's no coincidence. It's fate. We came together and had Henry."
So he should be the one to bring her back to Storybrooke to break the curse. "Do you think if we didn't have Henry, I would have come back here?" Yes, she knew about August and how he had been watching her all this time. He had told her about it. "Don't apologize. Not right now. I'm trying to deal with everything right now." She knew he cared at one time. "I know you cared, Neal." Her head fell to look at the table. Did he still? She honestly didn't know. It would take time. Then he told her she had whipped cream on her lip. Emma laughed and wiped her lip off remembering days of old. "Oh yeah, thanks. I don't think I'd have made it through the day if you had let me go all day with this on my face." The were reconnecting. It would be slow. Maybe not at all, but they had to take it one day at a time.

Neal listened as Emma went over the facts out loud, he wasn't sure whether he should comment, so he decided to just sit and listen as she added it all together. "You know what, you're right." Neal said, "Call it what you want, I'm not sure, but" Neal paused and looked at her "What I do know is that I'm glad it happened."
Neal wasn't sure how to answer Emma's question about Henry. She was right, if Henry hadn't been born, would she had been brought to Storybrooke to break the curse. "Honestly Emma, I'm not sure" Neal smiled, as Emma told him not to apologise. Could it be that he was making progress?
Neal understood that it was a lot to comprehend and knew that she needed the time to do this. Neal sat there smiling, as she placed her head on the table, he was definitely making progress and they were reconnecting. Neal laughed when Emma made that comment after she wiped the whipped cream off of her face. Neal was happy that he was become close with her again.

Lifting her head, Emma had 'that' look on her face. "I can hear you smiling, Neal." Tilting her head to the side as she rolled her eyes upward, she gave him a doubtful look as if to tell him 'Don't even try to tell me..' Shaking her head, Emma gave a half smile. "You forget I know you almost better than yourself." Recalling how they found him in New York. "Remember how I found you in New York? We taught one another a lot. So we know each other pretty well." There mannerisms, the way they spoke certain words, if they were about to bolt because someone was on their tail. Emma grew a bit more serious. "I know that you're happy about Henry, Neal and so am I. Don't ever think I'm not. I've actually grown fond of the kid." That's what she called him. 'Kid.' Somehow Emma knew Neal would ask her about that someday. How Henry found her... She reached out and took his hand gently. "You know once you knew who I was you could have brought me here yourself." She wasn't truly upset with him for that. Well yes she was, but yelling at one another wasn't going to get them anywhere at this point. "Was there a reason you didn't, Baelfire/Neal Cassidy?"

Neal looked at Emma still keeping that smile on his face. Neal did remember their reunion in New York, he was so excited to see her, until he found out she was there with his father. Neal wanted to comment something about the fact that she didn't know it was him when she went to New York, but, decided against it. Neal just nodded "You're right." Neal took another sip of his coffee, before looking back up at Emma with a serious look.
Neal smiled as Emma spoke about Henry, he was about to say something when Emma asked him about why he didn't bring her here himself. There was one main reason he didn't come here. That reason was the one thing he'd been running from since he was 14 years old. The reason was his father Rumpelstiltskin, however, he wasn't sure whether Emma would accept that. "There may have been one reason." Neal said, as Emma took his hands.

There was more that Baelfire/Neal Cassidy had to say to her about their reunion. "No, I'm not just right, Neal. There's more to it than that. You have something more to say." Eyeing him carefully, with that serious look he'd given her. It wasn't just about Henry either. Tilting her head to the side, Emma looked to him. "It's not just about Henry. Though I know you're not happy that I didn't tell you about him." Their son had grown up with the Queen and around the father he hated so much. "That's the look you give me when you have a lot more to say." Though the smile she was so used to seeing back in Boston, caused her to smile back at him. Squeezing his hands brought such wonderful memories. "Let me guess the reason. Your dad? Everyone seems to hate him. That and you wouldn't have run from him when we found you in New York." Releasing one of his hands, she sipped on her hot chocolate. "So, why did you come back? I know it wasn't for your dad." Emma really wanted to know.

Neal knew that Emma knew she was correct, so he didn't try to come up with a response to that and just let Emma go on. Neal smiled as she mentioned about everyone disliking his father in this town.
Neal nodded, as she guessed the reason. His father was someone he had been avoiding for so many years now, and didn't want to face him straight away. Neal ran his hands over the cup of coffee in front of him, as she asked him what the reason was. He wasn't sure if she would want to hear it, but, he had to say it, as he knew she wanted an answer.
"Well, besides wanting to get closer to Henry. The other reason I came back was..." Neal paused, and took a sip of his coffee before finishing his sentence "For you. I know I abandoned you all those years ago and I want to try and make up for it." Neal paused, unsure whether Emma would like this reason, so he decided to extend "I know this may be hard to accept, but, I really want to show you how sorry I am for it." Neal smiled as he looked at Emma as she looked at him.
