"Where's my mom?"
Mary Margaret just went back to the apartment and sat on her bed. She stayed there in silence for a few minutes before she heard Henry talking. She looked at him and started crying.
"She is gone. I'm so sorry Henry."
He sat side by side with her. He didn't know what to do, didn't know how to react. She left him in this weird town where he didn't know anybody. He always knew something was up.
"I knew it! My mom was hiding something from me. I'm so done with all of this! I want to understand what happened. First my dad and how her? What' sup with this town!?"
"I can probably explained", said a voice.
"Madam Mayor…"
"Sorry to interrupt, the door was open. I found the book. Henry we need your help. Do you trust your mom?"
"Trust her with what?"
"With why she went here and brought you with her."
"I guess I do. I trust my mom and I believe in her."
"Well, I think you know what to do."
Regina handed the book to him. It only took Henry to touch it to make him remember. Remember his life. He looked around a little bit perplexed but then saw Regina, his other mom. He hugged her for a good 30 seconds before he turned to his grandmother as did the same thing.
"I know we have to do something about my mom, but we have to defeat the wicked witch before something bad happen to all of us", said Henry.
"We are glad you are back Henry", confessed Mary Margaret.
"And although I hate to admit it, you are right. We have to do something about Miss Swan. She is the savior of this town and I think it's finally time she accepted the faith that was given to her", admitted Regina.
Henry smiled for answer before they all went chasing Zelena. And they did defeat her. Regina did it. Henry couldn't be prouder of his mom. She started being a good person. She was changing for him. After all this time! She was tired of being a villain. This way, she was going to have a happy ending. Even if Emma was missing, at least he could finally be happy with Regina.
And she sure as hell got her happy ending! While they were waiting for a sign of Emma, Regina was living with Henry again. Maybe he lost his biological parents, but he still had her mom. He was happy there. Things were really different than during the curse. Regina was seeing Robin and she seemed really happy. After all, maybe she deserved happiness. She had what she needed most: her son and a boyfriend. The town didn't hate her anymore and everything was going fine.
Well, maybe not everything. Henry was still looking for Emma. He was praying every day before going to bed that she would be back. But it seemed like God wasn't answering his prayers because she didn't come back.
At night, Henry was dreaming of her and something of him. In his dreams, they were no drama. Everybody was happy and nobody died. He wanted them to be true so badly, but he didn't put attention in his dreams because it wasn't the reality. He had accepted it. He knew he will never come back. And for his mother, he doubt he would ever see her again. If she decided she didn't want to be found, nobody would.
However, he was still hoping. That is why he sent Hook at her rescue. He didn't know where she was, but he knew she was still alive. Hook was glad to help. That is how one year after Emma's disappearance, Killian Jones went looking for his friend with no clue where she was.
