As said in the summary this story will be a series of one shots revolving around SwanBeliever but other characters will appear also. The stories will be anything from story cannon on the show(all seasons) to au (Emma keeping henry, Emma growing up in the enchanted forest and no magic). I will update as much as possible. And I am open to request. If I already plan to write a sequel I will note it somewhere in the chapter if I don't and you would like to see a sequel I will try to fill the request.

I do not own ouat or any of its characters just my imagination. Also I want to say grammar is not my strong point so sorry in advance, hope you enjoy.

This story is au no magic and Emma kept Henry. Neal came back and took the fall for stealing the watches, he and emma have been on and off since he was released from prison and they have a daughter together, named Riley.

Chapter 1: Mother son dance

Emma was standing in the bathroom finishing getting ready for her special "date" she had with her son Henry tonight. Henrys school was hosting a mother son dance and Henry decided he wanted to go to the dance this year, which Emma was more than happy to agree to. With Henry being 10 now she knew that her son will not be so willing to do stuff like this soon , so she better enjoy this.

Emma put the finishing touches on her hair, looked in the mirror and felt satisfied with what she saw. She opened up the bathroom door and yelled down the hall to her boyfriend and son "How's it going to two?"

Emma heard some shuffling from their sons' room and then Neal replied "just about done Ems."

Emma felt satisfied with the answer and turned off the bathroom light and walked down the hallway to check on her daughter Riley who was quietly playing in her room. She stopped at the doorway and just took a moment to watch her daughter as she played with her dollhouse. Emma and Neal had not always had the best relationship since he let her take the fall for his crime. A couple months after Emma was sentenced to 11 months in jail Neal stepped forward and admitted to the crime and took the blame. He was sentenced to 2 years, after he got out they tried to be a family for their son, but Emma had a hard time forgiving him. Then four years ago when Henry was 6 they decided to really try again for Henry and they have been together ever since, then 18 months ago they welcomed their daughter into their family. And they even got engaged 4 months ago, things where finally good for the little family. Emma removed the baby gate they had setup so to keep Riley in her room while everyone got ready. "Hey baby girl ready for your night with daddy?" She went over and picked up her daughter and placed her on her hip, her daughter just gave her a big grin and nodded her head yes. Emma placed a kiss on Riley head and said "good" they then walked out to the living room where she said she would meet up with the boys.

While Emma waited she got her purse ready to go with her keys, cellphone, and the tickets for the dance. As she finished she heard some footsteps so she turned around and saw her son with a big grin on his face. All she could do was give him a big smile back. "You clean up good kid."

"Thanks mom you look really pretty too" Henry said. Just then Neal walked out into the living room he walked over and gave Henry a nudge. "Oh right, I will be right back mom." And he ran back to his room.

Neal walked over to Emma and said "He is right you do look really pretty tonight Emma."

"Thanks" giving him a genuine smile "and thank you for helping the kid get ready. He said he wanted it to be a surprise." giving a small laugh.

"No problem Emma, anything for you guys."

Just then Henry came out of his room, holding a single red rose "For you mom."

Emma gave Henry a smile then bent over to give him a kiss on his cheek "thank you, but what is this for?"

"Dad said that when you pick up a girl for a date you should give her flowers" Henry said clearly proud of himself.

"Your dad is a smart man" looking over at Neal with a smile. "So kid you ready to go to the dance."

"Yep."

"Alright say goodbye to dad." She walked over to where Riley was sitting "ok sweetie be good for daddy tonight and I will see you later" she then picked her up and gave the little girl a bunch of kisses all over face earning Emma a fit of giggles from the little girl. "Ok mama, love you." Was the little girls response. "Love you too baby girl."

Meanwhile Henry and Neal said their good byes and Neal told Henry be good and listen to his mom and have fun giving him a ok dad and eye roll and the two shared a hug and some I love you.

Emma walked over to her boyfriend and son handing her daughter over to boyfriend he placed Riley on his hip "Alright you two have fun tonight, me and the munchkin will miss you guys" he leaned in and gave Emma a hug and kissed her.

"Thanks, we will right kid?" earning her a nod from Henry. "Ok love you and I will miss you two even more" giving her boyfriend and daughter a hug and kiss. Then she and Henry turned to the door to leave she turned and gave them another wave goodbye.

They got in the families yellow bug and drove off to Henrys school. When they reached the school they headed to the gym where the dance was being held, Emma was surprised by how many mother and sons came. The gym was decorated just like you would imagine, with paper strimmer's and balloons. The pair quickly found Henrys friends and sat with them and their moms while they waited for the actual dance to start. The moms of Henrys friends where the only other parents Emma could stand talking to, so she was happy they saved her a spot at the table. Once the music started Emma started to really enjoy herself, she was surprised just how much Henry not only danced but just how much he WANTED to dance and with her which made her happy. The deejay played all kind of music, well music that was appropriate for the kids, from Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato to all kind of 80s music Emma got especially excited when Journeys "Don't stop believing" started playing which surprisingly the kids even seemed to know really well. It was turning it out to be a great night for the mother and son.

When it was almost nine thirty Henry came up to Emma and said "Mom, I'm getting tired can we go home now."

"Sure kid, this night is all about you, if you're ready to go now so am I" giving Henry a smile and a side hug. So they went and got their coats and headed home.

As they arrived home Emma noticed Henry was half asleep, she gave his arm a nudge "Henry, kid where home let's get you inside and into bed" earning Emma more of a grunt then an actual reply.

Emma and Henry started for the door when Neal came out and helped Emma get Henry inside, once they getting henry changed and tucked into bed his parents head out to the living room and talked about their nights.

"So babe, how was the dance?"

"Really good actually, I think both me and Henry enjoyed ourselves" Emma brought out her phone and showed Neal the pictures they took and a video of Henry and his friends dancing. "How was your night?"

"Good we watched a movie, played some then I gave Riley her bath put her to bed. Then I've been just watching tv waiting for you guys."

"Sounds like we all had a good night." The two sat and watched some more tv before heading off to bed. While lying there in bed Emma grabbed her phone and looked at the pictures of her and her son from tonight, Emma's favorite was a picture of just her and Henry she was sitting on the chair and Henry was sitting on her lap her arms wrapped around his waist, she decided to set it as her wallpaper on the phone. She put her phone down on her nightstand and turned over and went to sleep with a smile on her face remembering they great night she and Henry had.
