Chapter 32

(At the Charming's house after dinner. Henry is practicing his sword fighting skills with his grandpa in the garden while Snow/Mary Margaret and Emma are watching from the window)

Emma: They seem to be having fun

Snow: Yeah, so Emma how was your day?

Emma: Uneventful, I've been doing paperwork all day, the biggest decision I had to make was about whether or not to let Henry stay with Neal or not.

Snow: Are you sure you made the right decision about that?

Emma: I don't know, but if i hadn't have said yes I don't think Henry would've talked to me, besides it'll give him a chance to get to know his father and grandfather better as well as Belle, who I suppose is his future grandmother.

Snow: It's best not to think about it.

Emma: This family's messed up.

Snow: You got that right

(Charming and Henry come in)

Henry: Did you see me mom, I almost beat him

Emma: I did see, you're getting better Henry, no go on, go do you're homework, I don't think you're teacher would be very happy.

Henry: Sure

(Henry stalks away)

Snow: And if you get stuck I can go over things with you again.

Henry: THANKS GRANDMA

Charming: Henry was telling me he's confused over what to get you for your birthday next week.

Emma: I don't want a big fuss, just tell him to get me something small

Charming: Will do

Emma: Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed, I'll see you guys in the morning.

Snow: Goodnight Emma

Charming: Goodnight

(A little while later Snow and Charming are cuddled up on the couch sharing a bottle of white wine. Snow has been quiet for a while)

Charming: Snow, I know you, what are you thinking about?

Snow: It's just this is gonna be the first birthday of Emma's we've celebrated, I wanna throw her a party

Charming: You heard her, she doesn't want a big fuss.

Snow: I know, I thought that we could have it here, with close friends and family only.

Charming: You want to throw our 29 year old daughter a surprise party!

Snow: Yeah, why not?

Charming: All right, let's do it

(The next day at Granny's, Snow and Charming walk in at lunch time)

Red: Haven't you got to be at work Snow?

Snow: Not for an hour, my husband has brought me out for lunch

Red: Lucky you, why don't you go sit in that booth over there and I'll come take your orders in a minute

Charming: Thanks Red

(A minute or two later Red goes over to Snow and Charming's table)

Red: So what can I get you both today?

Snow: I'll have the Greek Salad with a nice cool glass of Lemonade please.

Charming: What's the Soup of the day?

Red: Tomato

Charming: I'll have that and a black coffee please Red

Red: Coming right up

Snow: Oh Red, before I forget, its Emma's birthday next week and we're having surprise party for close friends and family only, you and your granny are invited.

Red: Cool, I'll tell her, hey you going to the library opening later?

Snow: Yeah

Red: I'll see you there

Widow Lucas: Red, order up

Red: Coming Granny, sorry guys, gotta go.

(Red walks away. With Belle who walks into the Police Station to see Emma)

Emma: Hey Belle, what are you doing here?

Belle: I came to tell you that you're invited to the library opening tonight.

Emma: Thanks

Belle: In fact, I'd like you to cut the ribbon

Emma: Me?

Belle: Yes, will you do it?

Emma: Sure

Belle: Thank you, I will see you later on

Emma: You got it

(Belle leaves and Emma calls Neal to say that instead of him picking Henry up from the house that they'll meet at the library)
