Things in Neverland had been a little.. hectic. It left Emma's mind frazzled and she had no idea how to handle her own thoughts. Once everyone was back home safely, and reunions were happening, Emma made sure to move herself away from the group. She ducked out, deciding she needed time by herself to think. Neal was there, in Storybrooke, and he was no longer engaged. One would think it would be an easy decision to just fall back in to his arms and be a family with him and Henry.. but things were far too complicated.
In Neverland, she and Hook kissed. It was only a one time thing, but did it mean anything? Or was she ready to be with Neal again? So much had happened between the two of them, and they never got a chance to properly talk about it. She knew they would need to eventually, but right now, she was sure he was busy with Henry. Finally getting to know their son. It was all just so surreal...and to be honest, Emma was just waiting for the next surprise to pop up. She felt now that she always had to be on her guard.
She had rejected the pirate's heart, and she was sure it had hurt him, but.. she needed to be alone. She needed to think. Thoughts roamed through her head of what it would have been like if Neal had never left. Would she have ever met her parents? Would he have found his father? It was all giving Emma a headache. She sat down in the park, on one of the benches, and looked out over the area. It was definitely different here in Neverland.. more calm. More serene. But she still felt on edge.

• • • • • • • • • • Being back on that island of Neverland had made Neal a whole lot more confused then he already had been. It had made him feel a mix of emotions, and it brought back a whole lot of feelings that he thought he'd finally gotten past. After reuniting with his papa and Belle, and finally reuniting with John and Michael, Neal made his way back towards Henry, placing his hand on his shoulder as he noticed Emma sneaking off. Neal was standing with Henry, and finally taking the time to get to know him, after losing so much time both eleven years, and the time from when he went through that portal until that moment on the Jolly Roger.
Neal knew that while they were on Neverland, Emma had kissed Hook, and from the sounds of it in the Echo Caves, it had meant something to Hook since it had helped him forget about his first love... his mother. If Emma wanted to be with Hook, he would allow them to be. They would have to talk about eventually so that they could work out where they stood. But, he also knew they should wait until all of the craziness of everything that had happened had died down. Neal knew that aside from Henry, Emma had been the only one to ever get past his walls and get him to lower his guard around her. But, he wasn't quite ready to lower his walls for good again.
After leaving Henry with Regina, Mary Margaret and David, Neal decided to try and find Emma. The two of them could talk or at least get past some of the things that had happened. As he walked his thoughts began to wander, he found himself questioning what would've happened if he hadn't listened to August. Would he have still be reunited with his father, and the Darlings? Would Emma have ever found her parents? Neal shook the thoughts out of his head, as he spotted Emma on a bench in the park. Glancing out at the park as a whole, he could admit, this place was definitely more calm then Neverland. A smile grew on his face, as he placed his hands in the pockets of his jeans and walked over towards the bench. "Hey Emma, mind if I join you?" Neal asked, looking at her, the smile staying on his face.• • • • • • • • • • tag: Emma Swanoutfit: THISnotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution. Other credits.

Emma had expected herself to be found, and sure enough, there was Neal. He asked if he could join her, and normally it would be a simple question.. but this was a pretty loaded one in Emma's mind. This would lead to a conversation that she...well, she didn't know where it was going to go, and she wasn't sure if she was ready for it. The two of them never really had a chance to talk to one another with everything that had happened. Now, his fiancee - who had been using him the entire time - was gone, and there was finally time for him to focus on Emma. Whether or not that it was what she wanted.. she didn't know. "Sure," she said with a small, nervous smile. Still though, she held her confidence.
"Have a seat." She moved to the side, and allowed him to sit down. At first.. there was silence. It wasn't long before she broke it. "How are you doing?" It wasn't just a random quesiton in passing. Neal had been through a lot...they both had. "Are you okay?" He was reunited with his father - Rumpelstiltskin - found out Peter Pan was his grandfather, and now there was everything with his fiancee and Henry and.. all of it. She was concerned about Neal.. they had once been lovers, and friends. Counted on only each other. She wanted to be there for him.

• • • • • • • • • • Despite everything that had happened between the two of them, Neal knew that he and Emma always found each other. He also knew that the question he asked may lead to some more awkward conversation between the two of them. Neal was admittedly as worried about it as Emma was. He hadn't had a real chance to be happy with a family in over a century, and, the fear of that was enough to cause him to feel unready for it. Especially after what happened the last time he let someone into his heart and past all of his walls. Tamara had turned out to be using him the whole time, but, now she was out of the picture. Meaning that he and Emma would really have a chance to focus on each other. Neal wasn't quite sure how much he would let her in straight away, but, he was also sure that he wanted to try. At Emma's answer, Neal smiled softly at her before starting to move closer.
"Thanks" Neal said, watching Emma move aside on the bench before taking the seat next to her. The two of them just sat there in silence as Neal glanced out to the seas by the docks, to avoid making Emma feel uncomfortable by looking at her the whole time. Hearing Emma break the silence with that question, made Neal finally look at her again. He wasn't sure how to answer it persay. Things on Neverland had made his life even more complicated. The second question was one that was even harder to answer. He had finally found himself starting to completely forgive his father and let him in again, and, he had also found out that Peter Pan, the child who he had been in the clutches of for a century was actually his grandfather. And then there was Tamara as well. Using him and lying to him just like everyone else in his life ever had. Except for Emma and Henry. "That depends on your definition of ok. I'm a whole lot of things right now." Neal said, smiling softly at Emma. He knew that when the two of them were together, Emma was more then just his lover, she was also his best friend.• • • • • • • • • • tag: Emma Swannotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution.

Emma was aware she was doing most of the talking.. she found recently that she'd made a habit of doing that when she felt nervous. Which.. was exactly how Emma felt. Nervous. Yet somehow, completely comfortable. It was an odd feeling that she hoped would pass. And, it started to, when he answered her question. She gave him a small smile, and took a deep breath before letting out a slow sigh. "Um..." She tilted her head, considering what she should ask about first. "I guess it's a pretty loaded question. You know you can let it out and talk to me about everything.. right?" She asked, looking to the side to gauge his reaction.
"Neverland had to have been..really messed up for you. Your dad.. Tamara..Pan.. Henry and I.. it must have just been a huge sensory overload for you.." There was a lot to process. Emma had a lot to process as well. Both of them were in a pretty tight spot that they'd have to drag themselves out of. "No matter what we've been through..we're always Emma and Neal. We'll always be friends." Is that all she wanted? She wasn't sure right now.. it was so..complicated.

• • • • • • • • • • Neal didn't mind Emma do all of the talking, it made things easier for him. Since he thought if he stopped talking about it, then he could give it time before he had to face it for real, all at once. Yet, with Emma he felt like he could come to terms with everything at once, and, this made him nervous, but, happy at the same time. It was a feeling he'd always had with Emma, ever since that day at the carnival. Neal returned Emma's smile, before waiting for her to say something, to save him having to. However, her question caused him to smile at her. “Yeah, I know Emma. Thanks.” Neal knew that if there was anyone he could confide in, it would be her. It always had been.
“That it was. Especially with all the memories of being there the first time. Now everything else on top of it. Finding out that Tamara was using me. And that Pan is my grandfather, but, younger then me at the same time. And now I have my whole family back, with Henry back safe, and, my willingness to forgive my father. As for you, well, I guess that remains to be seen.” Stating all of those facts out loud made Neal realise just how much he had to comprehend now that they're back from the island, and, back in the town that had the possiblity to be home for him. "Yeah I guess we will be." Hearing that word friends from Emma made Neal smile softly before looking at her “Just friends hey?” Neal asked as he continued to look at her.• • • • • • • • • • tag: Emma Swannotes: anything else?credit: template is made by xxdawnxx from caution.

When Emma was finished speaking, Neal started to reflect out loud on the things that happened in Neverland. It was bad enough that his fiancee was using him, let alone finding out his grandfather had been Pan. As a girl who grew up watching the cartoon, she felt a little weird thinking that Peter Pan was the great grandfather of her son. It was all so...surreal. As was everything, really, since she'd arrived in Storybrooke. "I know," she attempted to give him a small, encouraging smile as she placed her hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. He then, seemed to ask if they were just going to be friends. This was a loaded question, that Emma didn't know how to answer. She took her hand away from his shoulder, and sighed. "Neal.. when we met up in New York, it..wasn't exactly the reunion I would have hoped for..."
She hadn't expected him to be single and somewhere waiting for her, but he also didn't expect him to be in love and engaged to someone. "You belonged to someone else, and.. I had to shut everything off. Not just for myself, but for Henry...I don't want him to be confused. It's bad enough that he has all of this family coming in to his life, and I--" She paused, and looked at him, after having looked away to express her feelings before. "I'm just not ready.. You have to give me time to figure things out. Henry is safe, and that was the important thing in Neverland." It was something she would have to think on. She had been allowing herself to move on since Neal, and now things were so different. What was she to do?

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND POINT. WHATEVER SPOT YOU PICK, THAT'S OUR HOME Neal hadn't reflected out loud what had happened on Neverland since he got back. The fact that Tamara had been another person that was using him had re-opened old wounds. And also the fact that the demon child he'd been running from for his whole life was actually his grandfather. Making him Henry's great-grandfather as well. That was the part that worried him the most. It was all too much for him to handle right now. Which was probably also just the town as a whole. “I know you do” If anyone could understand, it would be Emma. They had that kind of a connection. Neal could sense that his question had made Emma kind of confused, as her facial expression changed suddenly. He hadn't meant anything like that by it, but, he didn't say anything right now. “You and me both Emma. It wasn't the reunion I was expecting.”
At first Neal had waited around for Emma, so that they could be reunited. But, then he met Tamara and things changed. Suddenly he was engaged and living in New York. “I never meant to make you feel like that Emma. I hope you know that. And not Henry either. This, wasn't what I expected Henry to have to deal with.” Neal let himself smile at Emma as she just sat there and looked at him. “It's fine Emma. You can take all the time you need. The truth is, I don't know if I'm ready yet either. The whole Tamara using me thing makes me weary about whether my heart could handle something like that again just yet. You're right, Henry is all that matters.” Neal never thought that Tamara would break his heart, but, now that she had. Neal needed time of his own before he was ready to open up his heart again. template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0
