Neal...? I need someone to talk too...
That’s the problem, I don’t know which is harder… being his friend while liking him or just not being around him anymore. He’s not a bad guy, I just don’t know what to do. I’ve never felt this kind of hurt before.
There's a question I had to ask myself a couple of times before, can you imagine never seeing him again?
Its called heartbreak. It takes time, and it'll eventually be okay.
I need a drink...
What do you want, Neal?
I don't want anything. But its pretty depressing to drink alone, huh?
Neal...? I need someone to talk too...
August, you’ve met him… right? I’m not sure, you can’t make him return my feelings and even if you could that would be wrong. What would you do?
August... yeah.. I've met him.
You're right, I can't do that. I don't even think my father could do that, and even if he could you're also right that its wrong. I don't know what I would do, its hard to say. Just.. I guess do what you feels right. Try to think, would you rather not talk to him if he doesn't feel the same, or is it worth just being his friend?
I need a drink...
Is that really the turn you are going to take this conversation in?
What can I say? Maybe.
Alright no, sorry. I apologize.
Neal...? I need someone to talk too...
I don’t really know where to start… I… uh… I went on a date… well… I thought I did… with someone I really like… but… they apparently didn’t consider it a date..
I'm sorry kid, that's rough.
Can I ask who it was with? And if there is anything I can do to help you feel at least a little better?
I need a drink...
A bit early to be asking such personal questions, isn’t it? The name’s Jefferson.
Aren't you a little Miss Sunshine?
Neal...? I need someone to talk too...
Hey bud. What's up?
Find an Ikea | Neal and Henry
"We are going on a road trip then?!" It was more of a statement then a question when it left his mouth, toes of his shoes hitting hard against the floor as he tried to get his heels into the back of them while also moving down the apartment complex’s hallway. “This is going to be great!" Once they had reached the staircase he rushed down it, quickly moving ahead of Neal and out the door without a moments hesitation. “I haven’t given it much thought, maybe stripes? I like blue, definitely a good book shelf! Uh…" he blabbered on, mind running quickly over several different visions he had for his new room. “I want it to be different.."
"Yeah, we're going on a road trip." Neal chuckled, watching as Henry seemed to be hurrying a bit more. It surprised him more and more each day as he noticed different things about his kid, now including the little things that excite him. Like this road trip they were about to take, Neal couldn't ever see someone thinking a road trip with him would be fun.
Neal tried to keep up with Henry as he rushed down the stairs, though he wasn't exactly in the best shape. Definitely not at kid speed. He was very interested in how Henry wanted his room, it was also exciting that he could be the one to give it to him. "Okay. So blue, stripes, a good bookshelf, different. Got it." He smiled as he climbed into the car. After a couple of seconds sitting there, he started the car up and headed out of town. "I'm sure we can manage different. No matter how crazy or weird it might be." He laughed.
I need a drink...
I suppose I wouldn’t complain if I had some company.
Neal Cassidy. So what makes you need a drink so bad?
I need a drink...
You and me both.
Find an Ikea | Neal and Henry
His guard almost instantly dropped once he heard Neal’s familiar voice answer him, a smile quickly replacing the previous frown that had adorned his face. “Totally!" he responded without much hesitation, moving quickly to open the door before rushing back to where his food sat, untouched. Henry grabbed the bowl, not bothering to do anything more to it other than shove it in the refrigerator. “Where are we headed?!" he questioned loudly as he turned back towards the door, moving quickly as he grabbed for his jacket and kicked his shoes on.
Neal was a little more excited than he would have liked to admit when he learned that Henry was up for it. When the door opened, Neal looked at Henry rush back to a bowl that was sitting on the table. He let out a small laugh as he watched his son shove it in the refrigerator. "Well I was thinking we could head a couple towns over to an Ikea. It has better stuff than half of the places here." He shrugged. "It's also a little more fun to play in."
As Henry got his shoes on, Neal made sure the bottom lock was locked and headed for the stairs. "So do you have any idea what you want your room to look like?" Neal asked as he made his way to the bug.
Find an Ikea | Neal and Henry
Henry had been left alone for the afternoon as Mary Margaret and David went out to run errands, stating that they would be back before dinner and insisting that he prepare himself a lunch out of some left overs rather than wait for their return. He sighed, his hunger still barley there as the clock ached onwards into the two o’clock mark. The small bowl in front of him steamed, left over macaroni and cheese seeming to taunt him from the piece of kitchen wear. Henry frowned at the bowl, pushing the noodles around with his fork as the ticking of a nearby clock rang in his ears. There seemed to be nothing to do that day, nothing to pass his time with as everyone he wanted to see seemed to already be busy, or out somewhere, or even missing as some of his preferred choices seemed to like to up and vanish for a few days at a time. His fork hit the side of the bowl, causing a small tink noise to fill the air just as a knock came to the door. Henry perked up, shifting in his seat so he could glance over towards the door before quickly slipping from his seat and moving towards it. “Who’s there?”
Neal thought he heard footsteps coming from the apartment, and he couldn't help but smile for a moment when he heard Henry's voice. "It's Neal." He wasn't completely sure whether or not Henry was comfortable calling him dad just yet, so he just kept to Neal. "I was thinking we could go pick out the stuff for your room, if you're up for it." He said through the door as he waited for the boy.
Find an Ikea | Neal and Henry
It was around two o'clock and Neal was about to leave for the day, but before he did he decided to see if Henry wanted to go pick out the things for his bedroom. Before leaving, Neal grabbed the keys to the bug off of the hook and left Emma a note saying he was the one who took it. She probably wouldn't be mad at him, but who knows, lately she's been mad at him over the littlest things. He got in the bug and headed for the apartment, calling Emma on his way to let her know he was gonna hang out with Henry, and not to be worried if he's not home when she gets there. When he arrived at the apartment he walked up the stairs slowly, he was tired, and he was really sick of stairs today. He searched for the number on the door that would lead to the now familiar apartment. When he found the one he was looking for, Neal knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
A drink?
Days out of the hospital and the only thing the girl wanted was a break from all Why not go to Rabbit Hole? A good drink, an interesting night, anything could happen and the girl was willing to do anything.
Emma had sent Neal off, and anything was better than being alone in the house. After a day with so many nerves, he really wanted a drink. After arriving at The Rabbit Hole he walked up to the counter and pulled out a stool. Neal ordered a beer and noticed a girl sitting next to him, he knew who she was, but he also knew about her situation. "Hey." He said before taking a drink of his beer.
The Appointment || Neal and Emma
“I’m going to get checked, if you don’t want to be in here for that, it’s okay” after all it wasn’t like Neal had ever really gone through this. The last time Emma herself had been through it, well it had been in prison so she had a feeling the experience was going to be completely different. She changed out of her clothes and into the gown that she was handed. She bit down on her lip as she waited for the doctor, when she finally came in she smiled at both of them. Miss Swan, Mr. Cassidy, I’m the attending today and I will hopefully be handling all of your prenatal care from now on. Emma stared at her, “So I am pregnant?” she asked, Yes our tests came out positive. Emma blinked as she looked at Neal, that she almost missed when the doctor asked her to lay back so she could perform the pelvic exam. But she still did it, a part of her brain was still processing it, she was going to be a mom again. At least her occupied mind allowed her to not think about the exam because usually those things were uncomfortable as hell. Everything seems to be in order, we’ll schedule you for your first ultrasound next week. Do you have any questions? Emma blinked, “No, Neal do you have questions?” she asked as she looked over at him.
This was weird, and Neal definitely wanted out of this room for this part. But they were in this together, and as much as he wanted to leave, there was no chance that he was walking out of that door. "We're in this together." He said, and kissed the top of Emma's head. When she began to change out of her clothes, Neal leaned against the exam table where Emma was previously sitting. When the doctor arrived, Neal quickly stood up and stared at her. Nodding once as she acknowledged him. When she spoke he looked at Emma and back at the doctor, but before he could speak he heard Emma asking the exact same thing he was going to. Neal felt a little lightheaded. He only knew about Henry for a few months, and now he was going to have another kid? How was he going to do this? He looked over at Emma, who was laying back on the exam table, and that's when he realized that it was going to be hard, and he had no doubt that he was going to mess up quite a bit, but with her by his side he could do anything. He looked over at the doctor as she spoke, but his mind wasn't really doing anything. When he heard his name, he looked over at Emma and thought for a moment. He didn't have any questions, but he almost felt as if he should. "No. No questions."
Waking Up Sucks || Neal and Emma
She snuggled into him even more, she had no real desire to move from where she was. She knew that Henry would get up, and she’d have to make sure he ate breakfast before he made it to school, and then she had to go to work, but it was easy to forget all of that when she was with Neal. She actually felt like a teenager again thanks to him. “Are you actually saying you would just lounge in bed all day while i went to work? You’d do that to me?” she pouted.
"Oh, that's not fair." Neal said in response to Emma's pouting.
As he positioned himself so that he was facing Emma again, Neal placed his hand on her cheek, gently rubbing with his thumb. "You really should play fair" He laughed quietly and placed a kiss on Emma's lips, slowly moving his hands to the back of her neck.
The Appointment || Neal and Emma
Emma looked at Neal who bit down on his lip, she knew she was mad. And if she ended up seeing August, the man was going to end up either bloodied up on the floor, or he was going to end up in a jail cell. She could only imagine what she could have done with the type of cash that Neal had sent from fencing the watches. Maybe she could have kept Henry. She could have kept her kid. She shook her head, it was too late to think about what could have been. A lot of things could have happened differently if they hadn’t made the choices they had, it was too late to lament them. She sighed as she finally turned the car on and made her way towards the hospital. They managed to make it in time, the one good thing about being Sheriff was that she could speed and no one would catch her.
She bit down on her lip nervously as they waited in the waiting room. Finally they called their names, and they were greeted by the nurse who made small talk as she did all of the things you normally did on doctor visits, she took her weight, and other things. She finally led them to the exam room, where she asked a bunch of questions, and Emma looked over at Neal nervously, she had already filled out a family history when she had a check- up right before her trip to Manhattan. Once she took blood and other things, she informed Emma that the doctor would be in for another exam, and she instructed Emma to put on the gown she was providing, and with that she left. “I forgot about this part” she muttered, recalling that she had to have a similar exam when she had been pregnant with Henry.
Neal was slouching in the waiting room, biting his nails out of habit. He looked over at Emma for a quick moment, and could tell she was nervous. He sat back against the chair and reached his hand out for Emma's, softly squeezing when he reached it. When he heard their names, Neal let out a sigh. All of a sudden he was lightheaded, he wasn't this nervous a moment ago. Neal stood back and waited as they took Emma's weight, blood, asked questions. He thought that was it until the nurse gave Emma a gown and said that there was another exam. His eyebrow furrowed a bit as he looked at Emma, confused.
"Uh.. what part?" He didn't know much about this stuff, actually he knew nothing about it. Neal had never been through this before, and he didn't think about researching a bit more before they came.
