Unbeknownst to Regina and Emma, as they drove back to the mayor's office, Mr. Gold was intently looking at Emma.
Gold was so surprised to see Emma, he would know those eyes and those cheekbones anywhere. He almost couldn't believe his eyes. How could he have a child without at least telling him? How could Avery do something like that? Helena would never would never have allowed Avery to give away his child. Gold brings forth memories that he wished he could have kept stored away.
His first love, his first child. Rumple Gold couldn't be happier. Helena the one he thought he could grow old with, Avery the son he would give the world to, the son he would fulfill every want and every desire that was within his power. Avery grew up in Storybrooke and was friends with many of the towns now young adults like Mary-Margaret Blanchard, Ruby Lucas, and Jefferson.
Gold never would have thought that he would fail his son; that with all of his money and power that he couldn't give his son the one thing he wanted.
Gold never saw Helena's accident coming, he never saw Avery's hatred coming when he found out his mother was dead and there wasn't anything that Gold could do. Avery used to be a gentle and loving boy, but after his mothers death he became someone Gold didn't even recognize. He was angry and in pain but didn't come to his father and he didn't go to his friends.
Matters only became worse when Gold met Milah, Gold's second wife. By the time Gold's second son Neal was born Avery barely spoke to him.
Then one day after Avery's nineteenth birthday he just disappeared. Gold looked high and low for Avery, his friends searched for him, but they all figured he just left town. Much to Milah's annoyance, Gold stopped looking for Avery. When Gold couldn't find him he became power hungry. He figured if he had enough power he could force Avery back.
When Gold became so engrossed in power he neglected his other wife and son. Milah up and left, having grown tired of Gold's ways. Leaving Neal with his father, hoping that he would bring Rumple back to his old self.
Unfortunately Neal too grew weary of his fathers constant neglect and left. Neal occasionally call and lets Gold know he is alright; he has contact with Avery every now and then but doesn't know exactly where he is. The last Gold heard about Avery was that he was getting himself into some trouble with a deep dark path of drugs, drinking, and some seedy deals and that Avery was running from. That was 6 years ago.
Neal never openly talks about his half-brother. But will tell what he knows when asked.
Everyone has left Gold, but maybe, just maybe Emma is Gold's redemption.
Gold finally returns from his trip down memory lane and walks to the back of the shop, picks up the phone and dials Neal.
Three rings go by and Gold fears that Neal isn't going to answer but on the fourth ring a gruff, "Hello" was spoken.
"Neal."
"Obviously, you called me. Who is this anyway?"
"Neal it's me. Papa."
A much softer "Papa. Hi."
"Hello Neal. I don't mean to be so forward but have you spoken to Avery?"
Neal sighed and tiredly said, "No. Not for the last few weeks. Why? Something happen?"
"Something.. yes something has been brought to my attention and I need Avery to confirm a suspicion that I have."
"Well the last I heard he was living in Boston. I have no idea if he is still there."
"Thank you Neal."
There was a long pause before Gold asked his next question.
"Neal- Do you know if Avery had a child?"
"What?! Like a baby?"
"Yes. Like a baby."
Neal shook his head but remembered his father can't see him, "No, not that I know of anyway. I mean there is always the possibility, but he never said anything to me."
"Alright. Well. Can you try and contact Avery for me? Please. This is important."
"Sure Papa."
"Thank you Neal. I hope to see you and Tamara again soon. Three years is too long"
"Yeah, sure Papa. Maybe for the holidays." Neal hangs up before Gold can say "I love you"
Gold takes a deep breath and begins digging into Emma's past. His power may finally be able to bring his son home.
