Emma knocks on Regina's door and waits for the answer. David was loaning Hook his clothes so that they didn't have to worry about people giving them strange looks. On the drive over she had been thinking about Hook's attitude towards her. How he seemed to be so protective of her. She knew that he had cared for her in Neverland but she never thought that he would go to such great lengths to keep her safe. She usually would be pissed off about a guy being that way towards her but with Hook something was different. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath when Regina answers the door.

Regina smiles, "Did you find a way to help Henry?"

Emma shrugs, "Not really. He can't see the future in this world for some reason, but he did come up with a temporary solution. I don't know how happy you will be with it though."

Regina rolls her eyes, "What is it now?"

Emma laughs slightly, "Well, Mr. Gold, is looking for his son. He needs my help locating him or something. He suggested taking Henry along and no one will be the wiser."
Regina thinks it over. She hated the idea of not having her son around, but she also wanted to keep him safe. She sighs, "Fine. At least I know he will be safe with you."

Emma touches Regina's shoulder, trying to comfort the stress away, "You know I would never let anything happen to him. And I will bring him back. This is my home now too."

Regina nods and calls for Henry. Henry runs down the stairs with his backpack. Regina leans down and gives him a hug telling him that she will see him as soon as he gets back. He looks up at her questioningly, but she just shakes her head and looks over to Emma, "Take care of our son."
Emma laughs, "It is so strange to think about our situation." Emma starts to walk away, then turns back, "Keep a look out for Cora. She was pretty determined to get here. I doubt we stopped her from trying."

Regina nods, "I can handle my mother. You just worry about Henry. The rest of us will keep this town safe."

Emma drives over the town line and looks at Mr. Gold who was sitting in the front seat. Henry and Hook were riding in the back and Henry was trying to explain how the car worked to Hook, who seemed a little nervous. Emma had laughed at his expression when she first told him that they were traveling in her yellow bug.

She smiles to herself at the memory and focuses on the man in her front seat, "So? Do you remember who you are?"
He looks at her, annoyed, "I am Rumperstiltskin and I am looking for my son."
Henry grins, "So, where are we going?"
Emma frowns, realizing that he had not yet revealed their destination, "That is an excellent question. Mr. Gold?"
He smiles in the mirror, "Manhattan."

Emma chokes, "You expect me to find your son in one of the biggest cities?"

Mr. Gold shakes his head, "No, I know where he is at. I need you to help me get around. I also need you to get him to talk to me."

Emma shrugs and keeps on driving to the airport. She didn't know what to expect from this trip. She wondered who he was and how he had gotten to this world. She thought of her time in Neverland again. It was all she could think about lately. She guessed it wasn't really that hard to travel between worlds. She thought of her last day in Neverland. She thought of the way she had begged Hook to come with her.

Emma looks at Hook pleadingly, "Please come with me. We could be together. We could protect my son together."

He looks at her sadly, "I can't, love. I have to go after the man who killed Milah."

Emma had cried and begged some more, but he wouldn't give in. She had felt so pathetic and hurt. He had tried to pull her in for one last kiss, but she had slapped him across the face, hard and left him. She looked in the rearview mirror now at the man who was now willing to forget his revenge to prove himself to her. She didn't want to forgive him for leaving her the way he had. But it was hard to be around him and not want to kiss him. She wanted to feel his arms around her again.

Hook looked up and saw her staring at him. He smiles and looks at Henry, "You know your mother was an amazing pirate. She was the best sword fighter on my ship."

Henry looked over at his mother, smiling proudly, "It's in her blood. Her parents are Prince Charming and Snow. Tell me what she was like when you first met her."

Emma listens as he talks about how stubborn she was. She rolls her eyes, knowing that he was trying to get a rise out of her and continues to think about how she felt about him. He did abandon her then, but here he was now. Sitting in the small back seat of her bug making her kid laugh. In that moment she could feel her heart swell with joy, knowing that he was back in her life.

They all sit at the airport waiting for their flight to come in. Mr. Gold gets up and heads for the bathroom while Emma, Hook, and Henry whisper to each other. Emma had to explain to Hook what they were getting on. He had never seen a plane in his life and now he was getting on one.

Emma laughed, "You should enjoy it. The take-off is a little shaky but once we get in the air it is like a ship only without the water."

Hook shakes his head, "I just don't understand these engines that you have."

Henry grins, "It's called technology. It is the closest thing that we have to magic in our own world."
Emma smiles at Henry, she would have never thought of that, "Listen to him. He seems to be a genius about these things."
The attendant announces that it is time to board and Emma tells Henry to let Mr. Gold know.

Hook grabs her hand, "Are you sure this is safe?"

Emma touches his cheek lightly, "Trust me, Captain. I won't let any harm come to you."

Hook laughs and leans down to kiss her lightly on the lips. When she doesn't protest he puts his hands on each side of her face and lengthens the kiss.

She pulls away and smiles up at him, "I don't know if I mentioned this earlier, but you do look very sexy in modern day clothing."

Hook smirks, "I knew you would find me irresistible."
She tilts her head, "I always did… Cap-"

She was interrupted by Henry, who cleared his throat. She quickly pulled away from Hook and smiled down at her son, "Are you ready?"

Henry had been eyeing Hook during the whole flight. He had seen them kiss and he had seen the way that his mom had lit up. He even realized that his she had been happier since Hook had come around. He liked Hook. Hook was funny and had a lot of fun stories.

Emma leads them out of the airport and hailed a taxi, "Do you have the address that we need, Mr. Gold?"
He nods and hands her a piece of paper. She ushers the three of them in the back seat and sits in the front. She hands the paper to the driver and they take off. Henry feels the tension between Hook and Mr. Gold and laughs to himself. He knew the story between the two and he felt that they shouldn't be against each other. They finally arrive at their destination.

Emma gets out and opens the back door. She smiles at Mr. Gold, "Are you nervous?"

He smiles slightly, "Not really. I just need him to talk to me."

She looks over at Hook who seems enthralled by the sounds and sights of the city, "How are you feeling, Captain?"

Hook grins down at her, "This place is…mesmerizing. So much is going on. I don't know how anyone can concentrate."

Emma laughs and walks over to the apartment building and walked into the entryway. She looks at all of the buttons and points to one, "That's it."

Mr. Gold frowns, "How do you know?"

She smiles, "He is hiding. He doesn't want people to find him so he leaves his name off the name plate."

Mr. Gold shakes his head, "That could be an empty apartment."

Emma sighs, annoyed, "This is what I do. I find people who don't want to be found. You brought me here for a reason so trust me when I say this is him."
Mr. Gold holds up his hand, "Fine. But you better be right, dearie."

Emma pushes the button, "Fed ex package."

They wait a couple minutes and then hear a loud clang outside. Emma runs out the door, "He is trying to get away."
Mr. Gold yells, "Go after him! This is part of your favor!"

She hesitates then starts to walk forward, "Watch Henry!"
She runs after him, dodging people on her way. She takes a short cut through an alley and ran faster. She got to him in time to tackle him to the ground. She rolls to a kneeling position and looks up.

She gasps when she sees who it is, "No, it can't be. Neal?"

a/n: So this is kind of just the introduction to Manhattan and Neal. The second half will be filled with more drama. So just keep reading. I promise it will get better. And there will be more Hook and Emma moments along with his fascination of this new world.
