Katherine / Katerina POV
Storybrooke
I was at the living room of the apartment I shared with one of my best friends, Mary Margaret, when my phone rang. I answered it. "Hello?"
"Katherine," It was Regina Mills, the mayor of the town. She's a good friend on mine. "Henry is gone again," She said. My eyes slightly grow wide. "What? Again?"
"Yes. I checked Archie's office but he wasn't there. Archie said he didn't show up," She said. "Okay. Um, I'm on my way to your house," I said. "Okay," She said and I hang up. "Hey," I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Mary Margaret. I smiled, "Hey, I need to go to Regina's house," I said.
She nodded and smiled. "Be careful," She said and I nodded. "See you later," I said as I opened the door. "Bye," I heard her say and I closed the door behind me.
I got to the mayor's house and walked in. "Regina," I called. Regina walked over with Graham. She hugged me and then we broke the hug. "Kat, why does he do this?" Regina asked. "I'm a good mother, aren't I?"
"Of course you are a good mother," I agreed. It made her feel better because she smiled slightly. Then, we heard Henry's voice from outside. Regina ran to the door and me and Graham followed.
"Henry! Henry . . ." Regina said and she hugged him. Graham and I stood on the porch and I saw Henry was with a blonde woman but Regina ignored her. "Are you okay? Where have you been? What happened?" She asked Henry.
"I found my real mom," Henry said and ran into the house, straight past Graham and me. I walked over to Regina and the woman. "Are you're Henry's birth mother?" I asked.
The woman smiled slightly. "Hi . . ." She said. "I'll just go . . . check on the lad. Make sure he's alright," Graham said and walked back inside.
"How would like a glass of the best apple cider you've ever tasted?" Regina asked with a smile but I could tell it was forced. "Got anything stronger?" The woman joked and I smiled. "Come inside, um," I said and the woman smiled. "Emma. Emma Swan and thanks," She said and the three of us walked into the house.
Emma and I talked while Regina was bringing glasses. Emma was very nice and cool. I like her. Regina came in with a juice and two glasses and pours out the cider. "How did he find me?" Emma asked.
"No idea. When I adopted him, he was only three weeks old. Records were sealed. I was told the birth mother didn't want to have any contact," Regina said and she handed me juice.
"You were told right," Emma said. "And the father?" Regina asked. "There was one," Emma said. "Do I need to be worried about him?" Regina asked. "Nope. He doesn't even know," Emma said.
"Do I need to be worried about you, Ms. Swan?" Regina asked as she handed her the drink. "Absolutely not," Emma said as she took a sip and Regina nodded.
Graham came downstairs. "Madam Mayor, you can relax. Other than being a tired little boy, Henry's fine," He said. "Thank you, Sheriff," Regina said.
Graham nodded and turned to me. "Kat, I'll take you home?" He asked. "Yeah," I said and put the juice down. I looked at Emma. "It was nice meeting you, Emma," I said with a smile. She smiled. "You too," She said.
"Good night, Regina," I said to Regina. She smiled. "Good night, sweetheart," She said and I walked with Graham to the front door. He opened it. "Ladies first," He said. "What a gentleman," I said with a smirk. He chuckled as I walked out and he followed.
...
The next morning, I got a call from Regina that Henry was missing again. I walked with her to the Sheriff Station. "Graham! Henry's run away again. We have to . . ." Regina stopped taking when we saw Emma inside a cell. "Emma," I said. "Hey," She said. "What is she doing here? Do you know where he is?" Regina asked Emma.
"Honey, I haven't seen him since I dropped him at your house. And, I have a pretty good alibi," Emma said. "Yeah, well, he wasn't in his room this morning," Regina said. "Did you try his friends?" Emma asked. "He doesn't really have any. He's kind of a loner," I said sadly.
"Every kid has friends. Did you check his computer? If he's close to someone, he'd be emailing them," Emma said. "And you know this how?" Regina asked, crossing her arms. "Finding people is what I do. Here's an idea. How about you guys let me out and I'll help you find him," Emma said and I smiled.
