Today was THE day! They would finally see Emma after a long year of searching, worrying and sadness. Today was the day they would make their family whole again.
Or at least that was what they were hoping for.
Henry woke up bright and early that morning, being unable to fall back asleep because of the nerves.
He decided to do something nice for his Mom and go get breakfast. He knew a good place. Emma took him once a week during the year of the second curse.
When he came back, his mother was just waking up. "Good morning!" He smiled. "I have breakfast!" He informed.
She frowned. "You went out already?" He nodded. "I remembered this great place where Ma used to take me during the second curse." He explained as he gave her her coffee.
"Thank you, my dear." She kissed his cheek sweetly. "So are you ready to see her?"
He thought about it for a moment. "Henry, if you don't want to go, I'll understand!" She said at his hesitation.
"No, it's okay! I want to see her. I need to!" Regina nodded. "Good. Let's eat, I'll get dressed and we'll head to the address you found."
Once she was dressed, they left the hotel and walked towards the address Henry had written down.
As they turned onto the street, Henry gasped and stopped. "Henry? What's wrong?" Regina asked confused.
"I think Emma's living in our apartment!" He stated.
"I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner! I should have known she was here! Or at least recognized the address." He was angry with himself. Now he blamed himself for not reuniting his family sooner.
"It's okay, Henry! We found her now and that's what's important right." He nodded, but was definitely not entirely convinced.
They walked towards the right building and Henry held the front door open for the brunette. He guided her towards the right door and knocked, before giving either of them a chance to change their minds.
A girl looking a bit older then Henry opened the door. "Hi" She said, smiling.
Henry shook his head and gave his mother a disappointed look. "I guess we're at the wrong address…" He sighed deeply. Tears filled his eyes, as he turned around to the front door.
