Emma had been sitting in her room in the castle bored out of her mind. As she looked out the window she saw something weird. Neal and her father standing together talking. And then she saw her mother coming up to them. Then they disappeared somehow. What were the three of them doing together? That was odd, Emma remembered when David went and put Neal in the same wing as her and Henry but still as far as possible away from her. Emma wanted to know what he was doing , so she was about to go down there , but when she turned around there was someone standing there blocking her way.
"Henry! You scared me, make some noise kid."
"Sorry Mom, I was wondering if you'd hang out with me today by the archery range." Henry asked his mother.
Emma wanted to spend time with Henry but she also wanted to know what happened to her parents and her..What was Neal to her exactly? But her head came back by reminding her that Henry was waiting for her answer. "Sure kid, let's go to the archery range."
As they walked Henry kept talking about all the things he loved about the Enchanted Forest and being there. Especially since he, Neal, and Emma got to be in a castle by the beach together. Emma smiled at Henry being so incredibly happy about being here. This is why she smiled and didn't complain. Because her son was over the moon about what was going on.
"So Henry, do you know what your Dad and grandparents are doing together?" she decided to ask Henry because he pretty much knew everything that was going on in this world.
Henry didn't miss a beat "No, why would they be together at all? I had thought Dad went to the Dark Castle to visit Belle and Grandpastilskin". Henry did know why they were all together but he was decided to be the person to distract Emma for at least one day. Good thing they had magic to help build it pretty quickly. Henry remembered cause he had asked as his father drew the plans for there to be a pool, then was reminded that there was a beach and the ocean right by the house.
Emma looked at Henry with suspicion, she knew that Henry probably knew what was going on but she decided at least for the day to forget about what was going on between her ex lover and her parents and focus on Henry.
As they came on to the archery range , they had gurds nod to the Princess and Young Prince. As they were at the archery range, there was a bit of an argument going on before they could even start building the house
"You two are making it more complicated. I thought the whole point was to make Emma feel more comfortable, giving her a house with just as much marble or whatever your castle is made of it going to make her just as uncomfortable as being in the castle." Neal was telling Charming and Snow.
"But we just want her to feel like a princess" Snow protested.
"Snow, I get that but you guys Emma doesn't need a big old house, she's been looking for a home. How about a compromise, just don't make the outside so grand and go crazy on the inside of the house or pick a room"
Snow thought for a moment "I guess you are right, that's what we'll do." Snow was a bit jealous that Neal knew more about Emma then her and David did. Emma looked at the space they were going to build the house, it was nice and near the castle so they could still be close to her. "So what do we do first?"
