Emma looks over at Henry as she drives down the main road of Storybrooke. “Are you okay with this kid?” she turns her eyes back onto the dark asphalt and her green eyes took in the small town. The long haired blonde was sure that if she sneezed the people on the other side of town would hear it.

 

Henry looks over at his mother. “I mean… I guess. I really didn’t have many friends ma.” The boy sits up higher in the front seat and his hazel eyes take in the town. “This is nothing like boston.” the young brunette chuckles softly as he looks around. “Can we go there? I’m kind of hungry.” he points to the diner.

 

“Um. Yeah.” Emma parks in the front of it and she unbuckles her seatbelt before turning to him. “I’m serious, if you don’t like it we can find somewhere else.” Emma knew what it was like, going places without a choice. While she absolutely had to leave Boston, she didn’t have to be in StoryBrooke.

 

“I’m sure.” He gives her a reassuring smile and he gets out of the bug, walking around the front to meet her at her door. “You think they have hot cocoa?”

 

“Henry it’s a diner. Of course they have hot cocoa!” Emma locks up the car and she puts her hand on his shoulder as they walk in. A bell signals their entrance and the two look for a booth. Finding one Henry runs to it.

 

“Come on ma!”

 

Emma follows and she sits across from Henry. “I like this one too.” She smiled in admittance.

 

He nods and when the menu is placed on the counter he smiles. “They do have hot cocoa.”

 

“I told you Henry.” The blonde watched the waitress and she smiled kindly at her before she ordered. “Two hot cocoa’s, maybe you could put a little cinnamon on top? And… Grilled cheeses?” she looks at Henry to check. After getting a nod she chuckled. “Yeah two hot cocoa’s and two grilled cheeses, and fries for the table please.”

 

Ruby nodded as she wrote it all down on her notepad and she smiles. “Give us about ten minutes” she places the copy of the order onto the table and she walks over to the kitchen.

 

“She’s pretty.”

 

Emma jerks out of her daze. “Huh?”

 

Henry chuckles and he shakes his head. The ten year old was wise beyond his years. Emma attributes his smartness from all of the books he’s reading. “I said she’s pretty.”

 

“Henry you’re way way way too young to date kid! I mea-”
