Season 1 Theme: A Pirates Life For Me. Episode 4: Lunch With The Charming's

Erin was starving, and had just checked into the inn, which was creepy and old and her room literally had a picture of a ship on the wall, it was like irony was slapping her in the face just left and right, and it giggled like Rumpelstiltskin while doing it. She just wanted to eat, and eat a lot, gain all that weight back that Hook had so rudely teased her for, and even more so, because after all, she was pregnant. That explained why all she wanted was just to bite into a huge burger...and also probably because she starved herself looking for that damn idiot. She walked back down to 'The Only Diner In Town' according to Emma Swan and sat at a booth. There was a boy behind her, eating a burger and fries and she almost literally died looking at him, not so much at him maybe...but his food.

"Hi," he said to her, as he looked up. She smiled and looked back at her own table. She was never a social butterfly, and right now she was so on edge she wasn't thinking clearly. "I haven't seen you here before," the boy said from behind her, and he couldn't have been more than fifteen, though you would think someone would have taught him not to talk to strangers by now. "You must be Erin. I'm Henry."

"How did you know that?" she asked, so confused and concerned that she barely noticed him sitting down in the seat across from her.

"Emma is my mom, she told me about you," he shrugged. "Are you going to be staying in town for awhile?"

Erin didn't know what to say, and in spite of herself, she went with the truth. "I don't know..."

"Well you should, Hook has a right to know his baby," he said so casually, she almost didn't catch it. "I didn't get to know my dad until I was older...and then he died."

"I'm sorry," she said, referring to the dead dad part, and then went on to say. "How the hell did you know I was pregnant...do you read minds?"

Henry laughed. "No, my mom told me."

"HOW THE HELL DOES EMMA KNOW?!" she demanded, causing other people around to stare, but she didn't care. If Emma knew that meant Hook knew too? She didn't want to tell Hook...not yet anyway.

"No, Regina's my mom too," he smiled. "I was adopted."

"Oh..." Erin calmed down almost immediately , not thinking about how strange that was just yet, and bit her lip in worry instead. "Don't tell your...other mom then, please...Henry, I don't want Hook to know yet."

"I won't...I promise," Henry replied, but was quick to add. "But you should tell him, Hook needs to know."

"I will, I just-"

"Tell Hook what?" came a voice and Erin looked up to see a light haired man speaking, and a women that looked more like she could be Henry's mother than Emma Swan could be. She had short, black hair and a very friendly smile on her face. The pair of them sat down, the guy by Henry and the women next to Erin. Erin was very uncomfortable; they didn't seem to notice.

"This is Erin," Henry said, instead. "The one Mom told you about." And just as Erin was about to yell once again, why Emma was going around telling random people who she was, Henry added. "These are my grandparents."

"Your what...?" Erin retorted, looking at the both of them.

"I know," the Guy said. "We look really good for our age."

"It's a long story," the Woman added, looking over at her husband, or at least Erin assumed it was her husband, if they were Henry's grandparents. "Basically, Regina put a curse on us so we didn't age for twenty-eight years."

"I guess I understand the 'Evil Witch' part now..."

"She's changed now," she retorted.

"I was being fatuous," Erin said. "I would love to be frozen for twenty-eight years."

The Guy laughed, "It's not really very much fun when you don't remember who you are...or, are in a coma..."

"He was in a coma," Henry added, as if it wasn't obvious.

"Good to know," Erin muttered, looking around.

"So, Erin, are you going to be sticking around Storybrooke for awhile?" The Woman asked.

"She's going to have to," Henry answered, before Erin could. Her eyes widened as he spoke his next words. "She's going to have a baby."

"Oh..." the woman said, and looked over at her.

"Is that the thing she needs to tell Hook, Henry?" the Guy asked, and Henry nodded. The Guy looked back at her. "You're having Hook's baby?"

"Kind of..."

"Kind of...?" the Woman replied. "It's either yes or no, unless you don't plan on keeping it?"

"Well, then the answer is yes..." Erin retorted, and this was a strangely important and personal thing to be talking about with people that you didn't even know their names. "Can I eat food now?" She added, as they all stared at her. "I am carrying someone's child here!"

"Oh!" the Woman said again. "David, go get her something to eat!"

So, David, that was one of them. What was it with people in this town not introducing themselves? At least Henry was normal...or almost, at any rate. David came back with a burger, he placed the plate down in front of her and sat back down.

"I figured you should try one of Granny's famous burgers, everyone loves them," he explained. "Snow was addicted to them when she was pregnant."

"Snow?" Erin asked, as she so rudely shoved a few fries, that smelled almost evilly good, into her mouth.

"Me," the Woman replied. "I'm Snow White, otherwise known as Mary Margaret here."

Erin said nothing, instead focused on her burger, because that was weird, she had been to Disney World, and met Snow White before. Hell, she had met Captain Hook, and now she was pregnant with his baby. So maybe her life was just taking a very weird turn all of a sudden. and maybe she never thought about this while she was with Hook, only because she was the only one to ever call him Hook, and now it seemed like the name everyone called him, it wasn't special anymore, and in turn, it made her realize how...really screwed up all of this was.
