let me know what you think.

The curse has been broken for a year. Emma and Henry sit in their apartment drinking hot chocolate with coco on a blizzard filled Saturday after noon. The looks over the Boston sky line and both smile with joy. "Mom, what was my dad like?" Henry asks. "Before he died." He adds.

"Your father was nice and kind, he was the love of my life. If he would have been alive to meet you I know he would have loved you. You look like him." Emma says lying to protect her son. The doorbell rings and they both look up.

"I didn't know anyone was coming over." Henry says to his mother as she puts down her hot coco and walks towards the door.

"We aren't, why don't you go to your room for a minute." Emma says. In her line of work she can never be too trusting. Henry doesn't argue just puts down his cup and walks into his room. Emma opens the door and her knees instantly feel like jello. "Neal?" She says, her voice sounding raspy.

"Emma, I am so glad I found you." He says to her. "Can I come in?" He asks.

"You left me." Emma says. "I was arrested and served in prison for almost a year and you suddenly come back after almost thirteen years wanting to talk!" She says angrily.

"Emma, let me explain." He says. "Let me explain to you what happened. Please just hear me out." He begs her. She stands silent debating when Henry peeks out of the hallway. "Henry," Neal whispers.

Emma turns around and sees Henry. "I thought I told you to go to your room." She says.

"You did," Henry says. Neal looks at Henry then back at Emma.

Emma stands there looking like a deer in the headlights. "I tried to tell you. But I couldn't find you." Emma says. "I looked for you. But you weren't there." Emma says.

"You said my dad died." Henry says in shock. "Mom, you told me that my dad died in a car crash." Henry says.

"I didn't want you to find out that your father was a con artist who knocked me up and left me sitting in a prison cell." Emma says to him.

"Can I come in now?" Neal asks. Emma moves out of the way and lets Neal come through. "Hi Henry," Neal says. "How are you doing kid?" Neal asks.

Henry just looks at Emma confused. "Is there a reason why you just showed up here out of the blue?" Emma asks him.

"Yes, it's your parents. They are in trouble. I know you don't remember but I can help you." Neal says.

"Neal, my parents abandoned me on the side of a high way." Emma says. "I have looked for them for so long. I gave up when I had Henry. I almost gave him up to give him a better chance. But then I remembered how I felt about my parents abandoning me and I knew I couldn't do it." Emma says.

"Emma, I know your parents. I met them, I can take you to them." Neal says to her. "I need you to trust me." Neal says.

"Why should I trust you. Last time I did I ended up doing time and having a kid." Emma says.

"Because of Henry," Neal says. "You will do this for our son."

"You are really my father?" Henry asks Neal as he walks closer to him.

"Yes, and I want you to know that I left because I had to. Not because I wanted to. If I would have known about you I would have tried harder to stay." Neal says. "I love you Henry." Neal says.

"Okay, it is nine. Time for bed kid." Emma says. "Brushed teeth, pajamas on, and into bed." Henry finishes off his hit coco and gives Emma a hug.

"Night mom, night dad." Henry says and walks back into the bathroom.

"You have thirty minutes." Emma tells Neal. "Start explaining."

"I brought pictures." Neal opens up his bag and pulls out a big book and a notebook and sits it in front of him at the table. "This has notes from your parents." He says handing her the notebook. "And this is their story." He says handing her the book that had "Once Upon A Time," written on it in beautiful gold letters.

"A story book?" She questions. Emma looks at Neal confused and a bit fearful for his sanity.

"This is more then just a story book. It is real, everything written has happened. Emma, I know you will remember soon, you are the savior you have to." Neal says.

"Okay, I think it's time for you to go." Emma says to him.

"Okay but at the very least just read it. I think you will like it. There is another story in the back." He says standing up. "Emma please call me soon." He says as he gives her a paper with his number on it. "For everyone's sake, I hope you remember soon." He says walking out the door.
