Emma Swan is a tough independent woman who knows how to take care of herself. She has always been tough. She had to be. When she was a baby she was found on the side of the road by a young boy and his family and took to the orphanage or at least thats what she was told and had believed for years until...

(Boston 2011)

It was a late summer night. It was also Emma Swans Birthday. She had just got home to her small apartment from a really bad date. Since it was her Birthday she bought herself a cupcake. As soon as she got in her apt. she took her shoes off and placed the box with the cupcake on the counter in the small apt. kitchen. She got a blue star candle,took the cupcake out of the box and placed the candle in it on the counter. After lighting the candle she stood looking at the cupcake.

"Heres to another Birthday alone." she said to herself. Then she blew out the candle. Seconds later the door bell rings.

She walks to the door and opens it. Looking at here is a young boy.

"Can I help you?" she ask the boy

"Are you Emma Swan?"

"Yes and you are?"

"Hi my name is Henry I'm your son" he scoots past her into the apt. and puts his bag down on the floor. Emma shuts the door and follows him into the apt.

"Kid, I don't have a kid."

"Did you give a baby boy up for adoption 10 years ago."

She shakes her head yes. "That was me."

"Can you excuse me for a minute." she goes into her bed room shocked at what is happening.

Henry yells "Do you have any juice to drink?" a few seconds later "Never mind I found it."

Emma comes in just as henry is putting the juice up. She has changed out of the dress she was wearing and into a shirt and jeans.

"Ok, kid who are your parents?"

"My name is Henry not kid and I'm not telling you."

"Ok then I will callthe police." she picks up the phone.

"If you do i will tell them you kidnapped me."

"And they will believe you cause I'm your birth mother."

"Yep"

"Your lying, your not going to tell,"

"Yes,i will"

"I can tell when someone is lying and you are."

"I'm sorry, but please don't make me go back."

"Henry I'm sure your parents are worried sick about you."

"Parent and she doesn't care about me."

"I'm sure thats not true, Henry. She probably loves you very much. Now tell me where you live so I can get you home."

"Storybrooke"

"As in Storybrooke, Maine."

"Yep"

"Ok, well lets go we have a long drive to Storybrooke."
