CHAPTER 1

''I don't care, if magic took him, the magic may brought him back''

''Oh I'm just going to grab some stuff from sheriff station'' Emma smiled and took her jacket ''You wait here, I will be back soon'' Hook smiled and give her a quick kiss on her lips. She just smiled and run out of the apartment and left doors half open. ''Classic Emma'' David smiled and closed the door.

…

Meanwhile Henry is with apprentice in the Regina's office trying to get used to the tittle of famous author. Henry just staring at the pen when he asked ''Can I bring my dad back?''. Apprentice place his hand on Henry shoulder and starts to comfort him ''Oh, child. I will tell you the truth'' and Henry look at him with wide open eyes. ''It's possible, but…'' Henry's eyes starts to shine, and he just jumped into apprentice word ''Soo, you tell me that I can bring my dad back, we can be a family?''.

An old man look at him with worried expression, when he continues ''Indeed, but, young man. You need to be careful with this. You need to think on an every person, every circumstance and every life you could change. This may bring back your dad, but you must not to think just for your sake, but for a sake of an every single person he is connected to it''.

Now Henry face expression is different. His enthusiasm fade and his glance is now on the pen again. Apprentice's hand left his shoulder and he can see with the corner of the eye how an old man stand up. ''I will leave you alone to think, and choose wisely, remember every word I told you, so you will not live with regrets''

Henry nodded and in silence stare at the pen, it brings back the time when they had a sword fight together, laughs, Sundays spent at park and all father-son stuffs. But then his mind cross thought about Emma. She was happy with him, but he broke her heart and left her, and then he come back. She lost him so many times. And there was Hook. Crap. No he can't bring his father back. Henry didn't know about Neal-Kilian-Emma love triangle. Mom is now happy with Hook. Other mom Regina, she is with Robin, happy. Henry now felt uncomfortable, but happy for his moms. He felt like something was missing. His dad.

He moves pen near the blank white page of a book. Write or not to write. Henry just wanted to start writhing and he stopped. Dad still can leave the Storybrooke and move to New York or somewhere else if he wouldn't like there. He thought

''I don't care, if magic took him, the magic may brought him back''

He said out loud and then he put the pen into quell and write down next sentence.

-Neal Cassidy comes back from the dead.

And then he waits nothing happen. He run out of the office and find apprentice on the street. ''Hey I just write that my dad comes back but he hasn't.'' An old man look at the young one and told him ''He will appear at the same place he left this world, at the same place he died''.

''Mom, I need to find her, so she could tell me, thank you'' He smiled and run in the direction of sheriff office.

….

It was dark and silent at the office. Where Emma was at the desk searching for some stuff she need. Then at the table, under the hundreds of papers she fined a picture of her and Neal. It made her sad and happy. Now one tear escape her eye right when she heard her son entering. ''Mom, I've done something''. She wiped it and ask ''what, kid what did you do?

''where dad died?''. Henry asked

''In the forest, by a small river, under the tree, why kid?'' She was confused.

Henry grabbed her hand and saw a picture of her and his dad, kissing. When he looks at her she was worried ''Mom I brought my dad back. I'm the author…you know…are you happy''.

Shock, now electricity run through her veins and her blood turn into the ice cold liquid. Her heart skips a beat and she asked again ''you brought back, your…Fa…Neal…is…a-alive?'' Henry smiled and then his smile fade when he saw his mother expression ''Oh, no, you didn't want him alive''. She turned against him and place her palms on her face when she heard.

''I will go find him, and then… we… we… will find a way, or something. Sorry mom''. And heard him leave. She quickly grabbed her jacket and run out of the office. ''Hey kid wait, I'm coming with you, it's late''

…

''Dad'' Henry run when he saw his dad lying on the forest floor. Neal stands up with confusion when he saw his son running to him and give him a tight hug. Father hug his son back and then he saw Emma. Her expression can clearly tell him that is something very wrong. Then he asked both ''what happen'' and gently push his son back, so he could saw his face. ''I save you, you are alive''. And Henry hug him back.

''Henry, please leave me and dad alone'' Emma said when she was walking closer. Henry nodded and said ''I will go to find everyone to told them''. Emma could not say anything since Henry run so fast into the dark forest.

''Emma talk to me, I just said goodbye to you and my father, I don't understand'' he asks. Emma holds the distance between them. She cleared her throat. Then he steps closer into her personal space. For her was that really uncomfortable but she stood still. ''It's not that simple'' she paused and look him in the eyes. He grab one of her hands and make a gesture to tell him. ''you died that day. And since then it was pass some time, and things change, a lot of things exactly. Long story short, Henry become the author and he writes to bring you back, so… that's way you are, you know, alive''.

His face turned white ''I need to sit down'' he said and sit back down. Emma done the same thing and sat next to him. He looked at her and put at her hair behind her ear ''you look different, you know. You were happy before I come back didn't you''. She looks down to the floor and then she looks back at him. ''That's not matter now, first we need to do something. Not everyone will be thrilled with the news that you are back in town''.

'' it's better we face it as soon as we can, its better I face it now'' he stands up and offer Emma hand so she can stand up.

…

They walked in silence and when they were on the main street Neal made some bad joke so Emma laugh. And place her hand on his back ''Stop it, this is serious'' and they walk forward.

From dark corner of some street Hook just appeared, he was on his way to the Emma's office, when he saw her with Neal. Smiling. How he could be alive. Killian watch them how the entered Emma's parents apartment. He has to sit down for a second. In his position he sat for no one once know long when his phone vibrate. It was message of Emma.

-Something happened. It's bad. Where are you? Please meet me at the entrance of a building of my parents' loft. As soon as you can. Emma. xx

He stands up and wait there till he saw Emma leaving building. She was worried and confused. He makes his way to her, and try to act as normal as he can. Heart was biting fast and he could feel anger in his chest. He put a fake smile when he saw her, and place his sweaty hands into a pocket of his jacket. ''I was summoned to meet you, what is it, love?

She looks at him and starts crying and fall into his embrace, her shaking body makes him feel guilty how jealous he react, but anger was still I his mind. He put his hands on her back. ''What happen Emma, talk to me'' he said when she looks him in the eyes and she starts to speak. ''Neal is back in town and I don't know that to do''. He hug her back, it felt he need to ask her something very important and so whisper ''do you still love him''. She broke hug and took a step back ''I love you now, here it is… I love YOU. He is just a father of my child'' He cannot believe he heard those words from her. Now he felt bad for her and so he said to her with the sweet, loving voice ''I love you to Emma. ''As he paused he smiled a little and the he was serious again ''But what do we do know''. She looks in direction of an apartment with the fear in her eyes ''First we need to tell him about us. Then it comes the rest''. Hook nodded and step closer so he could kiss her. She quickly response. He could feel her crying. Then they broke a kiss, he takes her sweaty hand make their direction to the apartment.

…

''Neal, this is, hmm. Neal'' David introduce baby Neal to him. It was so awkward for both men, then Henry cheers the atmosphere. ''They named him after you'' told him with smile on his face. ''This is, what can I say'' Neal paused and look at the David ''I'm honored David, thank you''. Both smiled.

Then the door opened and Neal turned in direction of it and he saw Emma. And then Hook right behind her and he quickly know that Hook knows what happen. They didn't say anything. When Hook's eyes meet Neal's he said ''Glad you are alright, mate''. Neal just nodded and then Emma broke a tension ''Neal please, sit down, I need to explain you everything''. Emma it first who sit then, Neal sits next to her. Hook just watch them from the distance.

David felt like that this is their thing at the same time he get a look from the Emma, so he called up to Henry and make some excuse. ''Hey kid, what about we take baby Neal for a ride so he can fall asleep'' Henry nodded and both he and David left the room.

…

''So, first'' she paused and glanced to Hook. It was so hard for her to tell him, that she is now with a person who took his mother and break his family and then again in the Neverland was his competition. Her glance is now back to Neal ''me and Killian are together now''. Here it is, now she waits for his reaction. Will he freak out, will he be happy, will he punch Killian in the face she thought. Neal looked to Hook as he steps behind Emma and place one hand on her shoulder. Then his eyes met a table. He says quietly ''what a start'' then he looks back to them and make a fake smile ''I'm happy for you guys, really, but….'' Emma jumped to his word still in shock and her heart was betting so fast. ''I know is a lot to process, you were gone for a quite some time, you will need time. '' Then she looked at Killian and said ''Hey, can you leave us alone, please. Go to our apartment and wait for me there? '' He barley smiled and kiss her hair and look at Neal ''Goodnight Belfire''. Neal nodded and watch him leave.

''Our apartment? You find 'Tallahassee' with him, huh?'' Neal asked when Hook was gone. Emma smirked as she saw a jealousy in his eyes and a lots of disappointment but at the same time she saw understanding. ''Yeah. We are together for almost a year now, I think.'' Then she joked ''If someone told me this, when me and Killian met back in Enchanted forest, I would punch him and called him crazy''. Neal lightly smiled ''It's a crazy world indeed'' and his smile fade. Now awkward silence fills the room. Pair of them both staring at the table. She felt guilty and so she say following.

''I think about you every day, you know'' She said when she looks down at the table. It was the truth, she thinks about him every day. Because of Henry who have now two mothers with now two new mans, none of them as his father.

''Emma tell me what happen when I was gone''. She wipes her tear and tell him everything. A story from the beginning to the end. He listened with his mouth wide open. When she was finished they drank some tea together.

Now both standing at the exit of the room as Emma said softly ''I will drive you to the inn and you will rent a room. Then in the morning me and Henry will meet you for a brunch''. He nodded and hugged her and she hug him back. It felt strangely good for her, the truth, she was really miss him It almost scares her, how great she feel. Neal kiss her on her hair and she whispers ''I'm glad you are back''. He smiled ''me to''.

…

When she parked the car outside her apartment she sees that lights were still on. That means Killian are waiting for her. She took her phone to check the time, it was a little after midnight then she took some stuff out of the car, lock it and make her way to the house. She enters the house ''Killian, I'm home'' and place car keys next to the phone and her wallet on the table in hall.

He comes to her and lean on the door with his hands crossed on his chest ''so, where did you leave your ex-boyfriend'' she could see a jealousy in his sea-blue eyes. Emma smiled and step next to him, very close and place both of her hands on his chest as his hands fell down next to his body. ''Hey, you don't need to be jealous, we left the past where it belongs'' she tip toed and kiss him on his lips. Then he said, still serious ''But I have all right to be. When your ex-lover and father of your child comes back to life, and you to just walking together and smiling'' right when he said it he knew his words come out to far.

She slide her hands down of his chest and put it into her back pockets. ''What are you tal-…you saw as, didn't you? You were there? Spying on m-….'' He jumped ''for the record, I didn't spy on anyone. I was just on my way to you and then I saw you two on the street, then I wait there until you commanded me by a talking phone'' she looked down and take a step back. ''Why didn't you say something'' said quietly almost whispering and give him a sad look from beneath of the forehead.

He also move a little back. Then he answer ''I was afraid I'm going to lose you, I was just waiting you to tell me your side of story'' Now her hand runs through her hair and she make her way to the bathroom ''I need some time to think, don't wait for me. Just go to bed and I… don't wait''. As she left he nodded and go to the bedroom.

…

When she was at the bathroom, sobbing quietly on the bathroom floor her phone starts ringing. It was Regina.

''Yes'' she answer quietly as she wipe a tears from her face.

''Did I wake you? So we need to talk, about all this crazy Neal come back stuff''.

Emma sniff and stand up ''what about''.

''Henry told me later the reason why he brought him back. First thing is that I have Robin and Roland and you have your pirate guy liner.''

Emma still not herself and tired she answer ''I don't see any problem here''

''Emma. Henry feels like he don't belongs in any of this how can we say, families''

Now her eye open, and so do her mouth. She can't believe what's happening. Emma forget to answer to the Regina. Her palm was again on her face and legs close next to her body.

''Earth calls Emma''

She could hear Regina on the other side and the she finally answer ''Regina, can we all met tomorrow at dinner or something and talk. I'm so tired I cannot think straight''

''Yes, Tomorrow dinner at 7pm at my house''

Emma smiled ''Thank you for calling me. See you'' and hung up.

…

It was dark and quiet, when she entered the room, Killian was in bed lying on his side faced to the windows so she could just guess that he is sleeping of not. Emma lie on her side slowly so she make as less noise as she could.

She was on her back staring at the celling just staring thinking of nothing, when she fell a movement next to her. And Killian place his hand on her stomach and make a small circles. ''Are you alright my love?''. She put her hand on his head as she starts to playing with his hair. '' Regina called me.'' And move her head so she see his face ''do you know why Henry brought Neal back?'' Killian nodded as no and so she continue to explain ''He … have a feeling that he do not belong anywhere. Not with us and not with Regina's households'' When Killian saw a tears in her eyes he stand up and make her fall into his embrace. He's lying in his back and she is on his chest. ''Shh love, you are tired of all of this, first you rest, we talk tomorrow'' and place a kiss on her hair ''together.''
