Chapter 4: Welcome to Storybrooke

Henry stormed off to a counter to search for a menu. Emma strode to the place where he sits. She sighs. "It's a long drive today. So tell me about Storybrooke. But first, we have to eat because we are starving." They laughed. He looked around to find Ruby, a waitress. She looked over on the menu to order.

Hearing a bell ring from the front door. A brunette woman in a tight red dress with a black boots and blazer came in and looked at everyone until she found Henry sitting next to a blonde hair woman with a tight jeans with t-shirt and leather boots. She arched an eyebrow and narrowed at Henry's back head.

"HENRY DANIEL MILLS! Where are you?!" She walked to Henry's spot. He flinched when he heard his mom's voice behind him. Emma whisked to see a beautiful brunette woman who is standing behind him. She gaped like a teenager in love. Until she was not paying attention to a brunette woman's voice to call her.

"This is inappropriate to stare at me like that. And who are you in my town. Why are you sitting next to my son?" A brunette woman is narrowing at Emma. Henry looked back and forward to Emma and his mom. Before Emma was trying to say but was interrupted by Ruby who was walking to their counter.

"Hello I'm Ruby and is everything okay with you guys?" Emma turned around to see a waitress behind her. "Yeah, everything is fine. Thank you for asking." She beamed at Ruby.

Henry sighs and changed his sitting position. "Hello mom, this is Emma Swan and she is my birth mother. I found her when I was in New York. I know you are grounding me because I ran away to find my real mom. No worries. Emma took care of me and she is a detective from New York Police Department." He grinned at Emma.

Emma and his mom were in shock when Henry told all of it when he was in New York. "New York!? Are you injured?" His mom checked every spot on her son's body. She was relieved that her son is safe. Then she looked at Emma and flashed a fake smile. "My name is Regina Mills and I am a mayor of Storybrooke. So welcome to my town. And I appreciated that gesture when you brought my son back home safety Ms. Swan."

Emma flinched when she heard Regina's cold voice. It shivered her spine while she was looking at his mom. "Yea, I'm Emma. Please don't call me Ms. Swan. Just call me Emma. Henry told me about you. You didn't know that he ran away. I am sorry. Anyway, care to join us for breakfast? He and I are starved." She gave a small nod and smile.

Regina was feeling warmth when she found out that Emma is very polite woman to offer her gesture for eating with her son and a infuriating blonde woman. "It's a nice offer but I would say no thank you. Ms. Swan, could you excuse my son and I to leave? Enjoy your breakfast." She flashed a mischievously smile. Henry was shocked while the entire conversation was between Emma and Regina. Before Regina took her son to the front door but she heard his voice and it softens her heart by his kind-heartedness.

"Mom, can we stay here and eat our breakfast? I'm so hungry. Please mom?" He pouted and gave a puppy look at her. Emma snickered and glanced at his mom. She was worried about her response.

"Yeah, Henry and I are hungry and we are going to order our breakfast. Please join us for breakfast. That's all I can offer." Emma gestured. Regina sighs and sits next to Henry. "Ok. Henry, you have a pancake for today but we will discuss about your grounding at home."

"Thanks mom! You're the best!" She softens her eyes at her son. "You are welcome my little prince."

Emma lit up when Regina joined them for breakfast. Ruby appeared to get their orders from trio on the counter.

When their food arrived and they ate in silence. Emma decided to ask Henry about a place to sleep. But she heard Regina's beautiful voice. "Ms. Swan, are you planning to leave here back to New York today?" Both Henry and Emma looked at Regina.

"Ehm. No. I am planning to stay here for few days. This time is good because I haven't had a vacation since 10 years ago. I have no place to stay and sightseeing around your quaint town." Henry heard his real mom about staying here for few days. But both Mills were shocking-jaw at Emma.

"Yes Emma! I am going to show you around Storybrooke if you want. It would be cool if we walk around here after we eat." Henry turned to his mom. "Please mom, can Emma stay here?"

Regina was not in mood to scold his begging. She felt calm toward his son when he said 'mom'. "Ok. I'm supposed to be a mayor and Ms. Swan, if you like to have a tour with Henry and I?"

"It would be cool if you can. Thank you for staying here with us for breakfast and a tour of Storybrooke. But first of all, where can I find a place to sleep?" Emma looked at both Mills. Until, Henry told her about Granny's Bed and Breakfast just in corner next to the diner. The women paid their breakfast and walked out to Granny's Bed and Breakfast. Emma settled down in her inn room. After they walked out of her room and took a stroll on a tour of Storybrooke. Henry chattered about the buildings they passed through on their sightseeing. After their tour of Storybrooke, they walked back on way to Granny's Diner and Bed & Breakfast.

"Henry, it is time for you and I to go home and say goodbye to Ms. Swan. We'll be on way in car. I think that I parked at Granny's Diner." Regina whisked to tell her son.

"Ok mom." He nodded at his mom and walked toward Emma. "Bye Emma and thank you for bringing me back to home. I am glad that you are staying. Hope we have a chance to talk." He grinned and hugged Emma by her waist. She hugged him back.

Regina was in shock when he hugged his birthmother. She knew her son very well because he had his shyness around the townspeople when they are in public. "Ms. Swan, thank you again. Have a good day." She took his hand and walked to the car. Unknown to Regina, she didn't notice Emma staring at them walking away and getting in her Mercedes car to home.

Emma sighs. The taillights faded away. She walked back to her inn room. She stripped to tank and black brief. Finally, she laid down on the bed and fell asleep.

Across the town, Regina and Henry arrived home after they got out of her car. They were exhausted from a tour. They couldn't take any minute to walk into living room for Henry's punishment.

"Henry, we have to discuss about your punishment. Go change your pajamas then meet me in my office." He nodded and ran upstairs. "No running!" She sighed and walked through the hallway connected to the study/office. Finally, she sat down on the comfortable couch and waited for her son to show up.

After he appeared and sat down next to his mom. "What is my punishment?" He was feeling alarmed about punishment. But in his mind, it was running like a hamster run in a wheel.

"Dear, I give your punishment when you come home and you have to do chores like dishes and take out the trash for a month. But you have to do every night when you finish your homework and you have no video games and television for two weeks until I see the fit. Is that clear?"

Henry turned to look at her and had some thoughts about the consequences on his punishment. He nodded and said "Ok mom. I will do that. Thank you mom."

"No problem, dear. Now here you go sleep. You have a school tomorrow. I will inform Ms. Blanchard about skipping classes. And will you be fine when Ms. Blanchard drop you off with Ruby tomorrow? I have meetings all day tomorrow but to be not able to pick you up from school."

"Yes, I will be fine and love you mom. Good night mom." He kissed her cheek and embraced her.

"I will see you soon when I tuck you in. I love you my little prince. Good night." She beamed.

Henry shook his head and laughed a bit. He walked out on way to his bedroom and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Regina gathered paperwork on the desk and separated them in categories for tomorrow's meetings. She sighed and looked up at clock – 10:00pm. Feeling exhausted and weary, she stopped working and walked out toward the kitchen for a drink. Then she checked on every window and doors to be locked on the ground floor of the mansion.

"Long day…" she mumbled and went upstairs then checked on her son. Smiling at his face while he slept. She closed the door from Henry's bedroom.

Strolling to her bedroom and clapped for the lights to turn on. She changed her clothes to silk night pajamas and washed her makeup off then brushed her teeth. Regina was very tired to walk out from her bathroom to the en suite. She tucked herself on the bed with covers and clapped for lights to turn off. She fell asleep until the sun was glowing on her face.
