Chapter 2- Home?

Emma softly stroke over Henry's cheek and gave him a gentle kiss on his forhead.
He's been sleeping like a rock ever since they arrived at the motel. After their road trip both have been exhausted but Emma wasn't able to sleep. She looked down at her son once again. So, that's how it's supposed to feel. Family.

Henry looked so different when he was asleep. He looked much younger and vulnerable.
There was no sign of the strong and smart boy he normally is. At this moment Emma felt a warm rush of love through her veins. She knew that whatever it would take she would keep him safe. She would protect him.

Even though Henry wasn't very...amused about her decision but he would understand. He just had to.
Emma sat herself down on a chair next to the open window and watched the sunset over the Oceanside.
She would have never expected to come to Tallahassee again. At least not after the two years she spent here. Looking for something. For someone.
But she was badly disappointed. Once again.
However, when she decided to take Henry away from Storybrooke Tallahassee was like a scarlett letter. It was the only place she could go.
The only place she could nearly call home.

The moment Henry said he would want to live with her more than anything was one of the greatest thing Emma ever heard in her life.
She knew that from now on she couldn't just run away when it gets complicated. She had to take responsibility. From now one she had to be a mum to Henry just like he always deserved one.

Despite all these years she ignored her responsibility as a mum she was now ready. She was ready to be his mum and this awareness made her strong.

"Mom?"

Emma turned around and a warm rush raised through her veins. He never really called her "mom" before. She couldn't help but smile when she looked at her son and responded:

"What is it kid? Did I wake you up?"

He looked down at his feet. Something was wrong with him.

"Hey Henry."

Emma stood up and kneeled down in front of her son.

"Hey, look at me. What's wrong?"

"The curse...We have to go back."

"Henry.."

"It NEEDS to be broken."

"Henry..this isn't a story. This is reality. I'm not the savior. I'm not a hero. I'm nothing."

Henry shaked his head.

"No. It's not true you are…"

Emma interrupted him. "Henry, please. Let's not talk about the curse right now. Let's concentrate on this. Tallahassee. It's a very beautiful space, don't you think?"

"Yes but.."

"Henry, I just..I just need some time. Time to clear my head, ok? And then we can talk again, all right?"

Henry knew he had no chance to disagree.

"All right."

Later that evening, Emma went to grab something to eat and Henry was finally alone. He knew he couldn't convince her to come back but maybe somebody else could.

He went to the small phone and dialed a number.
It rang a few times before finally someone picked up.

"Hello?"

His voice sounded different. Exhausted. Tired.

"August? Is it you?"

"Yeah, it's me. What is it kid?"

"Emma and I..we… we left Storybrooke."

"You WHAT? No. No,no,no. This can't be. She has to come back."

"I know. I know. But she won't. I tried. She's just too stubborn.
I-I need your help. Please, August. You need to help me; for Operation Cobra."

"Of course I will. I'll help you to get her back. Where are you?"

"Tallahassee."
