It has been exactly one year since Emma left town. Nobody has heard from her since she left and nobody knows if or when she will return.
Regina and Henry have spent that year trying to figure out why the blonde left or where she might be, but neither could figure out the answer to either of the questions.
Suddenly, that day exactly one year after his blonde mother left, Henry remembered something his blonde mother had thought him a few days after she first arrived in Storybrooke.
"Henry!" Emma had said, "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to stay much longer, kid."
Henry was about to protest, when Emma continued. "I'm going to teach you something, so if I'm ever not there and you need me you'll know where to find me!"
Emma took Henry's laptop and installed an application "This app can only be used in case of emergency!" Henry nodded.
"It's an app I used to find people as a bail bondsperson. Okay, so you insert a credit cart number and it will tell you it's last purchase. That tells you in what city I am."
Henry listened carefully. "I want you to promise me, you'll only use it to track me and only if it's your last option, all right?" Henry nodded again.
"Okay, with this second app, you can find someone's phone number. If I go back to my old job, I'll need to change phones quite often. This way I'm sure you'll always be able to contact me!"
Emma clicked back on the first application. "If you enter my phone number in this app you'll be able to track my every move, but again: it's only-" Henry cut her off
"Only for emergencies! I know!" He reassured her. She hugged him and kissed his forehead.
"Mom, I got it!" Henry exclaimed. His mother rushed to the room.
"What is it, Henry?" She asked not knowing exactly what he was talking about.
The young boy grabbed his laptop and sat on his bed, gesturing for Regina to come sit next to him.
"I know how to find Ma!" He told her once she sat. "You see, after she arrived in Storybrooke she taught me how to track her down. Since I never needed it, I forgot about it."
He looked down, embarrassed that it had taken him a year to remember. "It's all right, my dear! At least you remember now!" She reassured him.
"Ma said that if I insert her credit card number here, it will tell us in what city she is." Henry explained to his mother.
"Problem is I don't remember the numbers." The hope that had filled his voice a few seconds ago was gone.
"I know it!" Regina offered. Henry smiled and entered the numbers she told him.
"Ma's last purchase was in New York at the M&M world." Henry stated proudly.
"Okay, so she's in New York. That's a big city, Henry! We'll never find her." Regina sighed sadly.
Henry grinned, "Lucky for us that's not the only thing she taught me!" Henry opened the other app and looked up Emma Swan's phone number.
"If I copy this and post it thereā¦" Henry thought out loud. "Aha!" he exclaimed victoriously.
A map appeared and a red circle indicated the blonde's exact location.
Regina smiled at her son and hugged him tightly. "I'm so proud of you! You are such a bright young man and such a good listener! I don't know what I would do if you weren't here!"
Henry kissed his mother's cheek and held her for a moment. When he let go Regina stood up and went to her room.
"Pack a few things, Henry. We're going to New York!" As she packed a small bag, she called both Snow and Ruby to let them know their plans.
Both were relieved to here they had finally found the Savior and asked her to bring her back home safely.
And that's how Regina and Henry ended up on the first flight to New York. On their way to find the missing part of their little family.
A/N:
Will they find her or will Emma be gone by the time they get there?
Keep reading and reviewing, please!
Love, Emma
