A week later, Brooke and Emma followed Henry into Granny's B&B. Neal looked over at them and smiled, standing up, "Hey, buddy!" He greeted Henry and the two hugged, "How are you?" He asked.
"I'm good," Henry smiled and held up the storybook, "I brought this, I thought you could tell me what it was really like over there," Henry suggested.
Neal took the book and smiled at him, "Sounds great, I'll tell you what. Why don't you run to the diner, get us four hot cocoa and we'll dive in?" Neal suggested as he handed Henry some money, Henry took to the money and walked out the door.
"We're gonna have to take a rain check on that, we need to get down to the station to take care of some things," Emma said.
"Hey, can it wait? There's a couple of things I want to talk to you about..." Neal said.
"I'll leave you two to it," Brooke said and walked to the door.
"No, it's fine," Neal said and Brooke looked at her, "You'll end up finding out."
"Okay?" Brooke walked to Emma, "What is it?"
"Tamara, that's my fiancee," He looked at Brooke then Emma, "She went to my place to get some of her stuff," He told her.
"Okay?" Emma said a little confused.
"All her bags were in the storage room, but Hook wasn't," Neal said.
"Lucky for her," Brooke said.
"Yeah, but now he's out there," Neal clarified.
"I'm not sure how much more trouble he can cause anyway" Emma said.
"There's another thing... The reason why Tamara was getting her stuff is because she's on her way here," Neal admitted.
"Here?" Emma questioned.
"As in Storybrooke?" Brooke questioned.
"Yeah, she should be here at Granny's any minute now," Neal told them.
"What are you thinking?" Emma asked.
"Are you out of your mind?" Brooke asked.
"What do you mean?" Neal asked.
"What are you going to tell her when she sees a giant or a werewolf run past her on Main Street?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah and between, Greg Mendel and now your fiancee, this town is turning into a theme park," Emma said.
"Maybe, I didn't think it all the way through, I'm sorry. I just I need her," Neal admitted and Emma gave him a small smile, "I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean it to..." Neal trailed off.
"You don't need to apologise to me, I'm not the one you're lying to," Emma said.
"Who's lying?" Neal asked.
"Does she know who you really are and where you're really from?" Brooke asked.
"Take our advice, don't let her find out on her own. Tell her the truth, the whole truth," Emma said and backs away, "We really should be going."
"I know, but we're all connected now. it might be nice for you guys to talk. Just stay and say hello, she's bringing bagels," Neal said looking between the twins.
Later, Tamara showed up with bagels and the twins were sat together opposite the engaged couple with Henry on the side. To say that it was awkward was an understatement.
"So, how's you guys meet?" Henry asked and there was an awkward pause before Tamara spoke.
"Um, well, I was super late to work, rushing like crazy, guzzling my giant coffee, when this guy crashed into me," Tamara began to tell them, "My coffee soaked my blouse, there was no time to change, so Neal gave me his scarf to hide the stains and he said I could keep it or call him if I wanted to return it," Tamara chuckled, "I decided to call, and, well, we've been together ever since," She finished.
