Deleted Scene: Chapter 2

Author's Note: I had wanted to include this scene but when it came down to it, the scene felt more like filler which is why I have included it in the deleted scene section.

Takes place shortly after Emma say's Neal's name.

Mary Margaret looked at her daughter with a confused stare. Emma turned and on her face was the biggest smile Mary Margaret had ever seen in a while.

"Did you feel that?" Emma asked in wonder.

Mary Margaret looked around and then at her daughter. "The wind, yeah I felt it."

Emma shook her head, "No it was more than that. Neal was calling out to me. I don't know how but I felt it."

From a few feet away Gold shook his head as he came up to the two women. David followed suit.

"When are you going to understand dearie," Gold said to Emma. "You are the essence of true love. You stemmed from it therefore you are it. I once bottled true love in a potion but you my dear Miss Swan, well you are that bottle."

"Well that's-," Emma said trying to think of the right words to use but not finding any, "I don't even know what to say to that."

Gold circled his hands to the sky. "The universe is filled with many great powers. There are forces greater than us that conspire, forces that even I have no reach or access to." He turned his attention to Emma. "It was they who chose you, to place their most precious commodity, they who chose your parents to be the bearers of such great power."

Emma looked from her parents to Gold. Neal had been right all along, the exact same words spoken from Gold's mouth about their being forces greater that conspire.

"And my connection to Neal," said Emma wanting to know more.

Gold smiled, "My theory on that is your souls were connected long before either of you were born."
