You have no idea what I've lived with Neal was still trying to wrap his head around everything that had happened to him in the past 2 days. He had seen Emma again, met the son he never knew about, and had reunited with his father. While the third one was something he could've done without, he had to admit, it seemed kind of good to be able to finally tell his father part of what happened to him, or at least what had haunted him for all those years on Neverland and even in the foster system.
He had decided to get some fresh air and was standing on his balcony staring out at the city down below. There was alot he had to wrap his head around, and besides that nightmare had come back to his head and woken him up again, so it would've been impossible for him to really sleep.
Resting his fists on the railing, he leant his forehead against his hands as he listened to the city down below. Neal let out a soft sigh and glanced into his apartment, as he noticed that no-one else seemed to be up, of course he didn't expect that, since it was an odd hour.
Taking one last look out to the city, he decided to head back inside his apartment. Neal saw that Henry was still asleep on the couch, and he quickly adjusted the blanket around him and then placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, before making his way into the back-room of his apartment and, turning on the kettle leaning his elbows on the counter as he waited, hearing someone else behind him, but, not turning around straight away.

It had been a hellish two days although happy to find Bae .. no he now wanted to be called Neal. pinching the bridge of his nose sighing . that wasn't his name he was Baelfire son of Rumpelstiltskin he wasn't a Neal . sneering at the name how ridiculous so what so he could bend in with these people please if anything these people should bow and tremble before them. sitting in the shadows watching Bae come back in spotting his son kiss Henry's forehead . the imp couldn't help but smile I see it now , the resemblance Henry he looks so much like you as child. I don't think I saw till now. but its there your smile your unshakable belief in the good.leaning forward resting his elbows on his knees. the chair was semi comfortable but the situation made the dark one on edge. we should talk I figure with Henry a sleep in here you cant yell or wake him. was it manipulating yes , was he going to regret it later maybe for now it opened the lines of communication between them. I want you to come home, this pointing to the surroundings of the loft this isn't home your alone here come home I can protect you Bae . be amongst your people not them this world holds nothing for you but pain come to storybrooke be your son and your papa.

You have no idea what I've lived with Sitting there with Henry, he just sat there and smiled at him, before the kettle finished boiling, but, hearing his father's voice from the darkness made him jump slightly. “God, you scared me” Neal said, as he placed the kettle back down and turned around with the cup in his hands. “Well, he seems like a good kid. I don't want him to ever lose that smile. I just hope he never has to know where belief in people can lead to one day.”
Leaning against the counter behind him, he listened to his papa, who was sitting on Neal's armchair, not too far from where Henry was. “I don't wanna talk papa. But, I'm pretty sure I don't have a choice at this moment. You are right though, I don't want to wake Henry. Or Emma either.” Neal said. It wasn't really fair, his papa was using that as an excuse to not let him get his feelings out about everything. Neal checked that Henry was still asleep, before turning back to his papa.
At his papa's words, he looked around his apartment, before lowering his head. He was about to raise his voice, but, remembering Henry lying right there, caused him to only let out a soft sigh before looking back at his papa. “This is my home. Has been for the past eleven years. Being alone is something I've gotten pretty good at, I've had a lot of practice. You had the chance to protect me, what good is that going to do me now? I've been protecting myself for as long as I can remember. My people? I don't really think that's true. I haven't been in the Forest for years. Yes, this world is full of pain for me, but, this town is still a part of this world, so it's not like it'll just magically disappear. I want to be with Henry, but, you, you I'm still working on.” Neal said, before taking a sip of his drink again and glancing out of the window.

Running a hand over his head salt and pepper hair fell back in place. I never meant to scare you Bae , this was the only way I knew I could get your attention. lifting up his head to lock eyes on the man who once had been his son. How had they come to this ? He once feared that look of sheer disappoint , of hate in those eyes. But he had caused it hadn't he all those years of making Bae suffer why because he couldn't let go...Rumple proven his namesake then didn't he. Bae you never have to worry where ever you go I shall follow . I'll never leave you alone . Ever I vow the words echoed in his mind . Brave words for a fool hardy father. this isn't home Bae this is tin can . I can give you anything whatever you desire. Want the boy and the girl I can arrange it nothing is impossible . standing leaning on the cane those people out there aren't yours I'm your people Henry is your people. If you want to ensure that smile on your child's face then come home. Because a boy needs his papa. rumple knew that those words would cause a backlash but it would also cause Bae to think of his own pain . If the dark one had force his hand and use Henry as a chip then so be it. Neal Cassidy

You have no idea what I've lived with Neal watched as his father ran his hand through his hair, before sighing softly at his apology. “I guess I'm not as used to it as I once was. Well, you have it now.” Neal said, as he looked down at the ground, not really wanting to look his father in the eye at all right now. Looking in his papa's eyes at this moment, the disappointment and hatred was obvious in his eyes. Although, he still had the sense of loss and emptiness in his eyes that he'd had for years. That nothing his father could do now, would ever be able to take away. His papa's choice was something that haunted his dreams for years, and it had only made the sense of loss inside him grow. 'You coward, you promised, you'll break our deal.' 'I have to.' 'PAPAAAAA!!!!!' Hearing his papa's words, he rolled his eyes at the offer to give him anything “This 'tin can' has been my home for 11 years. The longest place I've stayed in one location for more years then I can keep track of. You can't just fix things by using your magic papa. It's not the answer to everything.” Neal said, wanting so much to yell at his papa, but, having to control it to avoid waking his son. “I will find a way to be there for Henry. Even if it means coming to this town Storybrooke” Neal glanced over at Henry and smiled softly before turning back to face his papa. “Where was that thinking all those years ago? When I was hanging over that portal begging you to come with me. I was just a kid, and I needed you, but, that didn't seem to matter to you did it?” Neal asked, once again feeling himself wanting to shout at his father, but, being unable to.

Where was that thinking all those years ago? When I was hanging over that portal begging you to come with me. I was just a kid, and I needed you, but, that didn't seem to matter to you did it pushing against his knees to stand up all his bones ached and throbbed. taking a hold of the cane the leaned against the chair. I was coward Bae I was fearful of the what if's and maybes please understand I loved you still do if I have been braver I would have gone. it was lie though he wouldn't have. Rumpelstiltskin wasn't fool he knew if they had gone their lives would have been back to where they were. in the muck bottom of the barrel , the imp had climbed to far to go back down. this home of yours isn't a home Bae you want to know why ? limping over to his son his left hand leaned heavily upon the brass cane handle while the right one pointed toward the sweet sleeping boy on the couch. because your family wasn't here..have you forgotten that family is home? or was this just a temporary place to lay your head? look around Bae there isn't any thing here that show a person lives here other then meaningless things. where are the pictures of friends and love one? Henry tell me your engaged where her picture? these were hard truths to point out but his son was now in the mentally of running by doing so you never stay in one spot long enough to have roots. come back to storybrooke be with your boy if not for me then henry he needs his papa to guide him be a better father then I Neal Cassidy

You have no idea what I've lived with Neal watched as his papa stood up after his question and the mention of him needing him all those years ago, he began to step back in case he came close to him. Hearing his papa's words, he looked down at his feet before sighing and looking back up at his father. "You don't think I was fearful and scared of all of that stuff too, but, I kept up my end of the deal that we made. You love me and yet, you still didn't choose me. It's all well and good saying 'if only', but, you weren't and I didn't have my father." Neal said, sighing softly. His father had gotten the power of that dagger, and, Neal had gotten a life of fending for himself.
Watching his papa stand up and walk towards him while pointing at Henry's direction, Neal had to resist the urge to roll his eyes as he mentioned family. "I haven't forgotten papa, it's just been so long for me to have had a family to have home with. Temporary places are all I've had since I was 14. Not all of the things in here are meaningless, I have my reasons for having these things. You have no right to tell me about my relationship with Tamara. I may not have photos of her here in the apartment, which I do beside my bed, but, I have them where it matters. In my phone and my wallet, so that I can always have her picture with me." Neal said, sighing softly. This is the longest he'd stayed anywhere since Neverland, he wasn't going to be without any memory of the first real roots he'd had since the Darlings. "I plan to be there for Henry. I'll never do to him what you did to me. I will figure out a way to guide him whether it's from here in New York or in this town Storybrooke."

I didn't have my father. the seers words came flashing back into his head about the boy will not have a father . Rumple stumbled back a step or two. Lowering his head in shame all that he had done was in vain. Raking a trembling hand over his lips. Had he still condemned Bae to the seers prophecy ? Still his head lowered his mind raced with Bae's words . So thee was still hope a flicker of hope . so we agreed then you should be there for the boy. Well then you understand to be brought into the boys life only taken away so shortly afterwards is beyond cruel. You should atleast help the boy settle back into his old life before you leave.. if he could not convince his boy to return for him then , glancing over at a sleeping Henry . Then he would for henry ... Neal Cassidy

You have no idea what I've lived with After Neal spoke those words to his papa, he looked at the ground and blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall from his eyes. While in the workhouses, on Neverland, and even in the foster system. All he'd wanted was a father or at least some kind of family that cared. He wouldn't have cared which one. But, no he hadn't gotten that had he? Looking up, Neal looked at the reaction from his father. The trembling of his hands made his own hands start to turn themselves into fists.
Responding to his father's comments, Neal lowered his head again, before awaiting a comment from his papa. Even though, he didn't really care for one all that much. “I'm not saying I agree with you about anything, but, I do know I should be there for my son. I have no intention of leaving him, I will be in his life for as long as I'm needed. Helping my son is one thing I will always do.” Neal said, knowing that his papa was trying to use his son as a ploy to bring him to this town with him. It would've been what he would've done though, because he knew what it was like to grow up father-less. Neal sighed softly before turning back to face his papa "Helping him settle into a life anywhere is what I'd do for him, even if I never got that from you."
