A/N: Welcome! Welcome! I have a several flashbacks that is upcoming in those chapters. I can't wait to show you! This chapter is the first flashback. Please enjoy a bonus chapter over 'The Tunnel of the Darkness' if you haven't read it yet.
Emma and Henry were settled up in their rooms. They absorbed new things around in the mansion. The brown-haired boy was in his fantasy when he saw his room and Neal showed him around in his room. She chuckled when she saw her son's mouth opening while he was looking at new things. The brown-haired stud man pointed over at the photo of him being a football guy from high school and spoke lightly.
"I used to be a football player. Your mom was there to cheer me for my last homecoming game. See, it was your mom." He pointed at the blonde woman who was wearing a jersey of her former high school. That was a time when she came to visit her brother from college. She was looking so younger.
"Oh Neal, it was not me. It was Amy." Emma lied. Others looked at her with a 'duh' look. She mouthed 'what?' and shrugged with her eyes rolling. Neal shook his head and pointed out at his other photo which it was Emma, Regina, Daniel and Neal which it was his high school graduation then continued.
"It was me who graduated from high school. It was Daniel, my best friend. Next to him, it was your other mom. Regina Mills. Of course, you know your mom who was next to her too."
"It was my mom?" Henry quipped while looking at the brunette woman who was smiling at the camera. It got Emma to furrow her brows and walked up to them to see the photo of them. She saw herself smiling beside her former best friend. She remembered that day and it brought herself to see that day when she was younger.
Flashback
It was May 2007 and it was Neal's high school graduation. He was the first and youngest who graduated at 15. Emma just surprised him when she came over to see him. At this time, she was going to turn into 24 but she was just 23 that day. Her birthday was not until December. The blonde woman was grinning at her brother while he hugged her with a smile.
She felt overwhelmed when she saw him being a grown man. Neal was excited to have his sister to visit him and wanted to hang out with her after his graduation. He turned around to see his best friend who was graduating as him. It was Daniel. Mary Margaret came upon them with a smile and she had her camera to be ready. Regina was not far behind them and saw Emma there then shouted at her.
Emma turned around to hear her and smiled widely. The brunette woman ran toward her and hugged her tightly. They had not seen each other for few weeks since Regina visited her at her college. Others chuckled when they saw the ladies embracing each other. The pixie cut woman cleared her throat and shooed Regina to be in the picture with them. Emma rolled her eyes and stood beside her best friend then smiled for a camera. Neal and Daniel beamed widely. Regina just showed her usual smile while embracing her arm around the blonde woman's waist.
It flashed away when it was published into a frame. So, they got their published photo from her and framed it right away. They wanted to remember that day. But it was same day as Emma argued with her mother then she went to see Regina quickly.
Until that night, Regina and Emma just got in their way and no words between them. The blonde woman decided to leave for good and left them with no goodbyes. It was her silent departure and she never returned back again.
Flashback
Neal waved his hand onto his sister's face. Emma was still thinking about that day she left Storybrooke and never came back. Henry called her several times and decided to shake her hard to wake her up. The brown-haired stud man went concerned about her health and spoke lightly.
"Is she ok?" He glanced over at his nephew and felt overwhelmed that he had a nephew which it was his oldest sister and also, he found out that Regina was his biological mom. He kept wondering how they produced him from his sister's birth. Until, he realized that it was disgusting when he imagined about his sister's labor and gently retched out.
It woke Emma up when she heard a retch beside her and looked at her brother. Henry snickered behind his hand and scrunched his nose like a wringing teddy bear. Neal kept gagging when he tried to remove the image from his head and turned around. The blonde woman was perplexed when it came to Neal and spoke lightly.
"Neal, are you ok?"
"I'm fine. I just imagined you in the labor and EW."
"Oh Neal!" The blonde woman scrunched her nose and covered her son's ears with her hands then nearly yelled at her brother. The brown-haired stud man raised his hands in the air and tried to hold his gag then spoke lightly.
"I'm sorry."
"Well, I was in a labor for 14 hours to have Henry in my arms."
"14 hours!?" Mary Margaret appeared to find them in Neal's old bedroom and shouted. Others turned around to see her. Emma nodded with a smile. Henry raised his eyebrows at his mom and spoke lightly.
"Was I stubborn to get out?"
"You are like your other mom. She's stubborn like a dog." The blonde woman explained with a smile.
"Wow. I wanted to meet her. So, where does she live now?" The brown-haired boy asked with a grin. Neal looked back and forth at his nephew and sister. The pixie cut woman smiled at them and sighed.
"That's why I'm here to find her and don't worry, my darling. You will meet her if I have a chance to catch her."
"Ok." He nodded with a smile and looked back at his uncle then continued.
"Want to play basketball?"
"Sure, kid. Bring your game on." The brown-haired stud man clapped his hands with a smile.
"Oh, I can't wait to see my son whipping your butt on this game." Emma grinned. Neal raised his eyebrow and looked down at his nephew who was mischievously smiling. It left Mary Margaret to laugh loudly and walked away from them.
