Chapter 2
Alternate Past- 2011- Boston
Emma Swan and August Booth stood in the kitchen of their apartment baking a cake.
"Today is the day," August said. "Your 28th birthday."
"When can we go to Storybrooke?" Emma asked.
"Not until he arrives," August replied.
August looked at Emma.
"Hey," August said. "It's going to be okay."
Emma and August shared a kiss.
"I love you," August said.
"I love you too," Emma said.
Emerson walked into the apartment.
"I'm home," Emerson said.
August walked over to his son.
"Where have you been?" August asked.
"Nowhere," Emerson replied.
"Where have you been?" August asked.
"Nowhere," Emerson repeated.
"Let me smell your breath," August said.
"I wasn't drinking," Emerson said.
"Then where were you?" August asked.
"I was taking my driving test," Emerson replied, getting out his license.
"I told you no!" August shouted.
"I thought you'd actually be happy," Emerson said. "I'm 16."
"You know we have to go break the curse," August said.
"No," Emerson said. "Emma has brake the curse. I don't have to do anything!"
August grabbed Emerson by the shoulder.
"You do not talk to me like that!" August shouted.
"I am not going to Storybrooke to brake a stupid curse!" Emerson shouted. "I am staying in Boston!"
"You will do no such thing!" August shouted.
"My grandmother lives here," Emerson said. "I will live with her!"
"No!" August said.
"Why should I give up my life?" Emerson asked. "Why do I have to be included in this?"
"Because I said so," August replied.
"I hate you!" Emerson shouted.
"I'm not too crazy about you either!" August shouted, snatching Emerson's license.
August walked to the fireplace and threw Emerson's license into the fire.
"August!" Emma shouted.
"I will never forgive you!" Emerson shouted.
Emerson ran out of the apartment and down the stairs. As he exited the building, he saw young Henry Mills.
"Excuse me?" Henry asked. "Is this where Emma Swan lives?"
"You!" Emerson shouted. "You're the prophesized boy who ruined my life! I hate you!"
Emerson shoved Henry down and ran off.
