Neal looks up and looks at her with shock, "Emma? What are you doing here?"

Emma shakes her head, "You're him. You are Mr. Gold's son, but how?"
Neal just continues to stare, confused, "Who is Mr. Gold?"
Emma sighs, exasperated, "Rumpelstiltskin!"

Neal's eyes widen, "He's here? You brought him here! Why would you bring him here?"

Emma laughs bitterly, "I didn't know…wait did you… Did you know who I was this whole time? Was this some kind of trick?"
Neal stands up, "No, I didn't know! Not when I met you. It was your friend…August."

Emma starts to wipe off her pants, "Of course. I can't believe this is happening. How is it possible that we met? It can't just be a coincidence."
Neal shrugs, not knowing the answer, "I don't know what it was. Let's get something to drink." He laughs at her expression, "Just to talk this out. Maybe get some answers."

She nods and follows him to the nearest pub. She couldn't believe what she was dealing with right now. She had to find a way to get rid of him. She couldn't let him meet Henry. She didn't want to see Henry's face when he found out she had lied to him about his father. She would just have to lie to Mr. Gold. That's all. She sighs as her phone rings. She motions for Neal to wait inside and answers it.

"Hello?"

She hears Mary-Margaret's voice, "Thank God. Cora is here. She made an appearance and now we can't find her anywhere."

Emma runs her hand through her hair, "What do you mean Cora is there? How would she be able to get there?"
Snow sighs heavily, "I don't know. Regina is freaking out. We will figure it out. How is the trip?"
Emma laughs without humor, "Horrible. Turns out that Mr. Gold's son is Henry's father."

Snow gasps, "What? So that means that…"

Emma nods, "Rumpelstiltskin is the grandfather of my kid. I don't know what to do. I have to get rid of him."
Snow shakes her head, "Maybe it is time you come clean."

Emma scoffs, "I am trying to protect my kid here."

Snow frowns, "Are you? Or are you protecting yourself? I know it is hard, but you have to do the right thing."
Emma rolls her eyes, "Maybe."

She hangs up the phone and walks into the pub and sits across from Neal, "So let's talk."

Hook sits on the stairs outside the apartment and waits impatiently. It was hard for him to just sit there and not hurt Rumpelstiltskin. He had made a promise to Emma and he was determined to keep it. He listened as Henry started asking a bunch of questions. He laughed to himself when the kid told the crocodile that his son would forgive him. He doubted that. He met the kid a long, long time ago and he didn't seem like the forgiving kind.

Henry shot up, "Emma! Did you find him? Is he coming?"
Emma smiled down at the kid and continued walking towards Mr. Gold, "I'm sorry. He got away. He ran faster than I thought he would."

Mr. Gold yells, "You gave up! You promised me you could do this!" He steps closer to her, "You are going to get him to talk to me. That was the deal we made."

As Gold steps closer to her, Hook steps in front of Emma, "If you take one more step, Crocodile, I will hurt you myself."

Gold glares at him, then turns around and runs back in the building, "I will find him. And you will get him to talk to me."
Emma follows him, "How are you going to get in. There is no…"

She stops as she watches him push all the buttons until someone buzzes him in. They walk up to his apartment, "You can't just break into his home."
Mr. Gold takes something out of his pocket, "Watch me."
Henry starts to walk towards the end of the hall, "I will keep a look out."

Emma puts her hand out, "Henry… Mr. Gold I am still the sheriff."
He looks up at her, "In Storybrooke. Not here. You are powerless here." He pushes the door open, "That wasn't too hard."

They all walk in and look around. Emma didn't know what Gold expected to find in here. Neal wouldn't be coming back here. Not now. She walks over to the window and takes down the dream catcher. She thinks back to the day that they had gotten it.

Hook touches her shoulder, "Are you ok? You look like you have just seen a ghost."
Emma looks up at him, "I'm fine. I just…"

Mr. Gold interrupted, "What is that? Is that something important?"
Emma shakes her head, "No… no it's just a dream catcher."

Mr. Gold squints at her, "You are lying! What is that? Tell me what that is!"

Hook steps forward when Neal runs in the room and yells, "Leave her alone!"

Emma's eyes widen and she shakes her head, "Neal, don't…"
Mr. Gold turns to her, "You know him?" He turns back, "Bae?"

Neal nods, "Yes, I am your son. I only came back to make sure she held up her in end of the deal. So that you wouldn't hurt her."

Mr. Gold looks between the two, "You know each other? How do you know each other?"
Before Emma could answer Henry walks out, "Mom? What is going on? Why is everyone yelling?" Henry looks at Neal, "Is that him? Is that Mr. Gold's son?"

Neal frowns, "Mom? Is he your son?" Emma nods, "How old is he? How old are you?"

Emma looks at Henry, "Don't answer that."

Neal yells, "How old is he?"
Henry turns around, "I'm 11! Why is everyone yelling?"

Neal stutters, "11? Is he… Is he my son?"

Hook and Gold turn to Emma in shock and she closes her eyes and put her hands on each side of Henry's face, "Yes he is."

Henry pulls back, "No. You told me that my father died. That he was a hero." Emma reaches out to touch him, but he shakes his head, "You lied to me!"

Emma shakes her head, "No I was trying to protect you." Henry backs up and walks out onto the fire escape, "Henry!"

She touches the side of the window and sighed heavily. Hook steps up behind her and puts his hand on her shoulder, "Go talk to him. Explain why you lied."

Emma turns around and looks up into his eyes, "I thought I was protecting him. I don't want him to hate me."
Hook touches her cheek, "He won't. He might be mad for a little while but he won't hate you."

Neal steps forward, "What is this? How do you know each other…so well?"
Hook steps back and glares at Neal, "After you sent her to jail she ended up in Neverland. The lost boys kidnapped her. Luckily I was there to save her."

Neal looks at Emma, "You were in Neverland? Why?"
Emma steps away from the both of them and shakes her head, "I don't have time for this. I need to talk to my son."

Neal looks at Hook and frowns, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Hook steps forward, "I am here for Emma. I'm glad that I did come. You were supposed to be better than him, but you only thought of yourself."

Neal shakes his head, "What are you talking about, Hook? Everything that happened between me and Emma was me trying to do the right thing."

Hook laughs bitterly, "The right thing would have been to stick by her. To not send her to jail in your place."

Hook and Neal were in each other faces when Emma walked back in. She looked between the two and pushed them apart, "Neal, Henry wants to talk to you." Neal nods and walks out and Emma turns to Hook, "Captain, you need to calm down. I can take care of this. I did keep his son away from him."

Hook looks at her and frowns, "You kept your son away from you for most of his life too. Everything that you did was to protect him. No one can blame you for that."
Mr. Gold interrupted them, "Not to interrupt this endearing moment, but our deal was for you to get him to talk to me. We don't leave until he does."

Emma turns to him, "He will talk to you. Just wait."

Henry and Neal walk in and Neal sighs, "I will give you two minutes."

Emma nods, "Henry, I know you are mad at me, but we should give them a moment alone. Why don't we go downstairs and get something to eat or drink."

Henry nods and follows them down to the street.

Emma was sitting in the entryway of Neal's apartment building waiting for Hook and Henry to get back. She was letting Henry process everything without her for the time being. She knew he felt betrayed by her and that wasn't going to change until they both processed the situation that they were in. She looked up when she heard the door opened and gasped.

She slowly stood up, "What are you doing here?"

Cora smiled, "I'm here to get my daughter what she really wants. You have made her believe that you are a friend, but I know the truth. And she will see it when I get rid of you."

Emma backs up into the gate and pushes the buzzer for Neal's apartment, but is too late. Cora steps forward and runs the knife just above her heart and leaves a slash. It wasn't deep. Emma looked up at her confused.

Cora smirks evilly, "The poison will kill you slowly. Regina will have the pleasure of watching you die slowly."

Hook runs in and pushes Cora against the wall, knocking her out. Neal and Mr. Gold run down the stairs as Emma slowly falls to the ground already feeling the effects of the poison.
