Chapter 1
'Stranger'
Emma and Neal were sitting on the sand of the beach they were cuddling on. It's only been a month since Neal proposed out of the blue. He took her to the forest where he set up a picnic for her, then proposed. Ever since that day Snow has been going on about the wedding and how exited she if for Emma. When it came to three o'clock Neal went to go and pick up Henry, and Emma went home.
When she got home she went and got some coffee. A little while later Henry and Neal came in. "Hey Mum."
"Hey Henry." Emma then gave Henry a hug.
"Hey where are your parents?" Neal asked as he sat down on the sofa.
"Don't know."
In the evening Snow and James came back after saying they went out for a horse ride. After dinner Henry asked if Emma and Neal could read him a story. They took him upstairs and laid down next to him and read the story of Robin Hood. After he went to sleep Neal went down stairs while James and Snow went to bed.
"So I better get going." Neal said. As he was about to get up Emma grabbed his arm to pull him back down.
"I don't want you to go." Emma said with puppy eyes.
"Come on Emma I need to go. There's no place for me here." Emma just looked down upset that he had to go. Then Neal got an idea. "Hey how about this?"
"What?"
"We get a place together." Emma was in shock but knew exactly what to say.
"Yes, yes let's move in together!" Emma and Neal hugged each other and then it got to the point Neal had to leave.

In the morning Emma and Snow were talking about when the wedding should be. "So I was thinking that maybe the wedding could be on July 6th." Emma said.
"Well that's only about 2 months away do you think you and Neal can make it that long?"
"Yeah I think we can."
Later that day Emma and Neal got together to have a look and some houses and to talk about the wedding. They had a date, venue, band, vicar, someone to take photos all they had to get now was the tux and dresses.
"So we're getting married on the 6th July?" Neal said
"I guess we are." Emma said. She look at her watch and realised it was nearly three. "Shoot I need to pick up Henry."
"No let me go and pick him up. You go back home and start packing since we got the house."
"Ok see you in a bit, love you."
"Love you too."
Emma went home to tell her parents the big news. "Mum, dad we got the house!"
"Oh, my god Emma that's great." Snow said giving her a hug.
"Listen I need to get packing so can you two help me?"
"Sure honey." James said
By the next evening everything was pack and was ready to go to the new house.
"Emma just to ask where is the new house?" James asked
"It's just down the road. 5 minutes away."
"Well how about that?" Snow said
They took the rest of the stuff and to the new house.
At the Inn a lady came through the door, she had brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hello dear what can I do for you?" Granny asked
"I was just wondering if this is the hotel?"
"Yes it is how long will you be staying with us?"
"I'm not sure maybe a month."
"Ok." Then Granny picked up a key "Welcome to Storybroke."
After unpacking Emma went out for a walk and ended up bumping in to someone.
"Oh sorry." Emma said to the stranger.
"That's ok."
"You're not from here are you?"
"No i'm not." Said the stranger.
"Well let me introduce myself, i'm Emma." Said Emma holding out her hand.
"I'm Lara." She said shaking Emma's hand.
