Chapter 21
Emma: What the hell are you doing here?
Neal: Two reasons, one I got a summons
(He shows her the postcard)
Neal And two, Rumplestiltskin here is my dad
Henry: You're Baelfire!
Neal: Yes I am, I'm also ...
(Emma shakes he head at him)
Neal: ... An old friend of your mom's
Henry: Really, you know my mom.
Neal: Yeah, we were both living in Tallahassee
Emma: Neal, can I talk to you and your dad in private
Neal: Sure
(They walk a little ways down the road)
Emma: I don't want either of you anywhere near my son
Neal: But I only found out that I have a son a matter of hours ago
Rumplestiltskin: And I've known Henry all his life without ever knowing we were related
Emma: Because you Mr Gold, are a thief and a user of dark magic and you Neal betrayed me, I thought you loved me but you just left me to rot in prison.
Neal: I know and I'm sorry, but I had no choice, I was told a long time ago that I had to leave you alone until you had fulfilled your destiny
Emma: And who told you this?
Neal: I don't know his name
Emma: Fine, but give a couple of days to tell him about you
Neal: Why?
Emma: He thinks your dead
Neal: WHAT!
Emma: It was easier for me to say that rather than the fact that you walked out on me
Neal: Ok, I'll give you few days to talk to him
Emma: Thank you, that's all I ask
(At the Charming apartment Emma walks in to see Snow and Charming on the couch)
Snow: Hey Emma, where's Henry?
Emma: I dropped him off with Jefferson, he's on a play date with Grace.
Charming: Why'd you do that?
Emma: Because I need to vent I don't want him around if I start hitting things.
Snow: What's wrong?
Emma: Baelfire is in town
Charming: Who's that?
Emma: Rumplestiltskin's son
Snow: What's wrong with that?
Emma: Because I know him better as Neal Cassidy - Henry's father
Charming: I thought you said he was dead
Emma: That was easier to say than the truth
Snow: And what's the truth?
(Emma tells her parents about her time in Tallahassee with Neal and how she found out she was pregnant in jail)
Snow: Oh Emma, sweetie, you know you have to tell him don't you?
Emma: Yes, but how do I tell him that I lied to him
Charming: Do it as soon as he gets back.
Emma: I will.
