Chapter 41
(Early the next morning the Charming family are sat eating breakfast in the dining room when there is a knock on the door)
Emma: I'll get it
(Emma answers the door - it is Neal/Baelfire)
Emma: Morning Neal
Neal: Good morning Emma, may I come in?
Emma: Sure, Henry's just in the dining room, follow me.
(Seconds later the two of them are in the dining room and when Henry sees his dad he gets up from his chair and runs over to him)
Henry: Dad!
Neal: Hey there champ, listen, your mom told you about me going away for a few days didn't she?
Henry: Yeah, she said that you have to go back to New York to get the rest of your stuff.
Neal: That's right, but listen, I'll call you every day ok
Henry: You're coming back for the party though aren't you?
Neal: I wouldn't miss that for the world.
Henry: Good, is granddad okay?
Neal: He's doing fine, he's back from the hospital and Belle's taking care of him, I'm sure he's appreciate a visit from you though.
Henry: Can I mom, can I go see him after school finishes.
Emma: Sure
Henry: Thank you
Snow: I'll drop him off for an hour on my way home
Emma: Would you?
Snow: Of course
Emma: Thanks
Neal: Alright then, I'd better go. I'll miss you Henry.
Henry: I'll miss you to dad
Emma: Come on, let me show you out.
(At the front door)
Neal: So, I guess I'll see you in a few days.
Emma: Sure, wait Neal.
Neal: Yeah, what is it?
Emma: I had a good time last night
Neal: Me too, maybe we can do it again sometime.
Emma: Okay, why not?
Neal: Bye Emma
(Neal gives her a kiss on the cheek, gets into his car and drives off. An hour later Emma arrived at the entrance to Regina's 'Mental Ward' to see the Queen waiting for her)
Regina: Good morning Miss Swan.
Emma: Morning Regina, so are you ready for this?
Regina: We are just waiting for two more people.
Emma: Who?
Regina: Your father and Mr Gold.
Emma: Okay I can understand the latter, him being a sorcerer and all, but why is David coming?
Regina: He's going to help you keep an eye on them while Mr Gold and I conjure up the portal that will transport them both to different lands.
Emma: Where are you sending them?
Regina: My mother will be going back to the Enchanted Forest, where her portal will put her straight into a cell and Hook will be going back to Neverland.
Emma: Good choices
Regina: Thank you
(Charming and Rumplestiltskin arrive)
Charming: Are we all ready for this?
Rumplestiltskin: You can bet your life on it.
Charming: I'd rather not
Regina: Enough, let's get this over and done with shall we?
(The four of them descend the steps and go towards where Hook and Cora are being held)
