CHAPTER TWO
I stand outside of Granny's for 15 minutes before even going in, just staring at it, the last time I was there I was with Killian. I knew there were going to be a lot of firsts without him but I couldn't even think of all the things I'll be doing without him. I had to hold on to some hope that he would somehow find his way back to me. I take a deep breath and feel the pain in my stomach again, I ignore it and hold my breath to get the whispers out of my head. I knew it was the whisper of the dagger calling to me, I had figured that out the day after everything happened. I followed the whispers to Gold's shop and discovered he was once again the dark one.
When I walked into Granny's I could see Henry, David, Mary Margaret and baby Neal sitting at the table by the window, as usual. They see me, Henry is the first to run up and give me a hug "hi, mom, I missed you" Henry whispers to me. " I missed you too" I replied while just staring at the dart board thinking of the time I asked Killian out. Looking around the room, I could see the looks on everyone's faces, they felt sorry for me, they pitied me. " Come have some grilled cheese with onion rings, mom" Henry said, pulling my hand toward the table. I sat down and started feeling the pain again, even tho there is nothing in my system. "Neal's getting so big" I tell them staring at my little brother in his highchair playing with the pieces of toast in front of him. "Ya, it's almost his first birthday and we really hope you'll be there."
I stare at everyone in disbelief, a moment where I just froze trying to think about what is going on. I stood up " I can't do this" and ran to the bathroom, Mary Margaret followed me. I felt stomach acid coming up as there was nothing in my system. " Emma, it's not healthy for you to be this sick, yes, you're grieving but bile is not okay, something is wrong, you're skin and bones. You're really pale. I'm going to take you to see my doctor, now."
