Chapter 2: My "Fun Times"

Walking to her apartment in 5 blocks away from Dr. Maxine's office. Emma decided to call auto shop about her car. Before getting ready for her fun time with good buddies, she came into her living room and grabbed a drink. Hearing a noise on phone line, she gulped a drink and waited for an answer.

"Hello this is Dave's Auto Shop and may I be of your assistance at this moment?" Emma rolled her eyes and sighs loudly.

"Hi, this is Emma Swan, I am calling about my car and I wonder if my car is ready today?" Dave was smiling at his good friend and always hung around with her since she moved in New York. "Hello Emma! There are no manners from you. For your ugly attitude, I am doing good and thank you for asking. And yes, your car is ready to pick up today. So, I am waiting for you to arrive and pay for a bill today. Then see you soon."

Emma was grinning at hearing about her car and walking to her bedroom for getting ready tonight. "Great! I will be there in 15 minutes. And thank you so much so see ya." Dave fisted a hand in air and mentally in groove with his phone. He heard an end call. "Hello? It's mean to hang up on me!" He threw a fit on a phone and walked out to see Emma.

Emma hung up before Dave responds back. She changed from a police uniform to a tight jeans and a famous band t-shirt when she bought it at her favorite band in Boston, Rascal Flatts. She got her hair elastic band off and messed her blonde hair. Searching her favorite necklace on the dresser and hearing a ringing from her phone.

She looked at unknown caller id and looked confused. "Hello?" She waited and heard a squeaking voice. "Hello Emma, it is Jacqueline! It's been a long time since we were working back in Boston. How have you been?"

Emma was shocked to hear her old good friend back from Boston. "Hey! Yeah, it is. I am doing well and I am a detective for NYPD. So what about you?"

Jacqueline was happy to hear Emma's voice for first time. She missed her partner terribly since the car accident in Boston. She lost her leg while she was on duty with her on hit and run chase with two armed men. Emma saved her by getting her out of the car wreck. She was relieved that she was there to save her partner. "Detective? NYPD? It's getting better for you. I am retired. I am done with bail bonds since you moved away. I haven't been around in Boston lately but I am planning to travel in Europe next month."

Emma was laughing aloud at her friend. Looking up at the clock in the kitchen and she was in hurry to get her car from auto shop then drive to the bar. "Oh! That's good to hear from you. Anyway, I would love to talk with you on phone but I have to go get my car from auto shop or Dave throw my car to landfill. So, you have my number and feel free to call me. It's good to hear from you and love you! Bye!"

Jacqueline laughed at her partner's bad punctuality. "Ok, I better let you go. I will call you soon. And Love you."

Hung up on Jacqueline's call and ran to the auto shop in 10 minutes. Emma panted hard and looked for Dave.

"Dave!? Where are you?" Emma looked around in his shop and was not expecting that Dave was walking up to her behind and startled her. "Boo!" Hearing her screams and turned around at him quickly. "Dave! You scared me out of shit. What the hell are you doing to me! You gave me a bad heart attack!." Shoving his shoulder out and crossed her arms. She pouted and gave a puppy look.

Dave burst into laughter. Emma was taken aback since hearing Dave's accent laugh. "What? Are you laughing at me? What is so funny?" Mocking at Dave playfully. He stopped laughing and growing two heads in his mind. "Nothing, I'm just laughing at your puppy look and you look like a pit-bull when they cry. Anyway, it's pointless when you pout like that. Back to the point, your car is ready and it's good to go. Let me get a bill for you to pay. By the way, your car just got an engine to not run properly and oil in yours was rusty. Did you change oil change more often?"

She was feeling guilty when she heard two words coming out of his mouth, 'OIL CHANGE' then she just lied and blurted out like 'Yeah' and 'I did often when the miles is up to 3,000 miles or notify me when the oil change is up.'

But Dave won't believe her words and he knew Emma by using her excuses every time when she is here at his place. "I know you, Emma and I don't give a shit on your excuses. Let's go get your car and get out after you pay a bill. Here is your bill."

Turned in a paper of the bill to her and it said 'You are excused and it was taken care of.' She was slightly confused by taking a word from Dave. Looking up at him and saw his eating shit grin look.

"You bastard, why am I getting taken care of? I am not your possession! Damn it." She walked around him and to hurry back to the car. Heard his yelling from behind her and laughing aloud. "Yeah! You deserved it! Have fun tonight!" Dave was shaking his head and laughing while he walked back to his office. Her car started by a noise and went off to arrive at a bar to see her buddies.

Emma drove all way to the bar and saw her friends standing outside. She turned off her car ignition and got out of the car. She knew her buddies back from bail bonds firm and some were from her work.

"Hey buddies and let's go in the bar." She was grinning at her good friend, Eli who was a retired bail bonds and helped Emma out of the situation that she was drugged out.

Eli is standing beside her and drinking a light beer. "Yeah, missed you buddy and finally I see you here for first time since your career developed to be successful." She heard a noise behind her when she was turned around and saw him like she was in space. "Yeah, I missed you too. Let's get fun. Right Eli?" He nodded and shrugged. Clinking a drink with her and yelling 'One more round of our fun time for tonight!' The night was full of fun and enjoying the time of essence. Few drinks later, Emma took two drinks of beer but not feeling buzz anymore. She looked around in the bar and checking on her phone for time – 12:30am.

By this time, she was ready to leave the bar and head back to her apartment to get some sleep. Walking to her car in parking lot and got in a car then drove back to her apartment. In her thought, she was laughing at seeing Eli dance on a table and yelling around him. He was like a stripper in his artistic mind. She shook her head and walked to her door. Emma stopped and saw a little boy sleep on her door. She looked around her and was slightly wondering why the little boy was sleeping in her apartment outside by her door.

She was rambling to the door and shaking him to wake up. "Wake up and it's time to wake up." The boy opened his eyes and looked up at her. "Oh, thank you for waking me up." He got up and looked around at their place where they stood by her door.

"Yup, no problem. And I am asking you why you are here by my door?" She unlocked her door and switched a light on by her door. He was taken by a minute when he was having a thought about being here by seeing his birth mother. "Oh yeah, I waited for few hours to find you. So, I am here." Smiling at her and looking at her like he was dreaming about finding a biological mother for first time.

"Ok, first of all I am going to interrogate you and come on, get a chair then speak out about your present." Emma closed a door and walked to the kitchen. The boy got a chair to sit down with her and looked around in her place.

"Yeah, sure and what do you have to question me? Wait a minute. Are you a police officer? Please don't take me back to my home. I have a list of questions to ask you. Is it all right with you?" He was nervous to question his birth mother.

She was scared and wondered the boy get an intelligent brain. Looking at his school uniform and taking anything by a minute to relax. "Yeah I am a detective. Sure and go ahead." She gave a small smile to him and waited for his questioning to start.

"Ok, Are you Emma Swan?" He saw her small nod of yes. He finally found his birth mother.

"Good, I am Henry and I am your son." He beamed and saw her confused expression. "What? No. It is impossible. Give me a minute to take anything in my mind." She was feeling dizzy by hearing a word 'son'. By her knowledge of her history, she gave up a little boy for adoption 10 years ago when she was 17. Right now, she is 28 and realized today is her birthday but didn't celebrate her birthday since she was young. She felt bad for that boy but at same time, she was happy to see his boy to be in care of a good family.

"Henry, how old is you? How did you know my name? I was not sure how you get that information." Emma asked him. He shrugged and took his backpack to find a note when she was in hospital to give a message to his family to take care of him. Given by finding a note and turned to give her a note.

"That piece of note that you gave my mom when you was young. When I was little, I always thought that my mom was my real mom but it was not. I was angry with her because she didn't tell me a truth about you. I always know by her scheme of lying. By the way, I am 10. I found your name on my adoption papers. That's how I knew."

Emma looked at a note and back to him. "What? How…" By looking at him, he is alike like her when she was young at 12. By his face, he has emerald eyes and a nice smile. His hair is medium brown but not blonde at all. He reminded her of Neal. She sighed.

Henry waited for her response. "I know you are scared but I am happy that I found you. I mean it. Well, I am excited to meet you." He saw her smile and a nod.

She was ready to ask him for her questions. "Where do you live? Where is your mom? I am going to take you back to your home right now."

He slightly nodded. "Storybrooke, Maine. My mom is home back there. Ok. Let's go back but I warn you about my mom. She didn't know that I am here with you." Emma was worried about him and hearing his shaking voice.

"Maine!? What!? It is dangerous to go out alone." He shrugged. They stood and walked to a front door. Emma was pausing her questions. "One minute, I am going to pack my clothes and we leave by then." He nodded and hugged her by her waist. She was taken aback by a hug from him. She smiled.

"Ok. Let's go." He looked up at her and gave a flashing grin. Emma walked to her bedroom and packed a duffle bag with clothes and toiletries. Walking back to the door and locked by her place. They left to get in her Honda Civic LX and headed to Storybrooke, Maine.

Note: Finally, Emma meets Henry for first time. It's getting there soon. I am going to get other chapter for a note that she wrote to his family. It will be posted soon. I am excited. Thank you for following this story. I will be glad if you give me some reviews. Yeah, You will meet Regina soon.
