Summary: Poor Henry has no one to look after him... Very Fluffy, this story came from too much sugar.
"Are you sure you have to work today?" Snow asks her daughter and husband, who are putting on their coats at the door.
"Yeah, there have been a few break-ins around town. Not to mention everyone's starting to get a little pissed. We have to meet Regina there soon." Emma tells her mother. She then turns to little Henry who is digging into a plate of pancakes at the island counter. "Are you going to be okay kid?"
"Mhm." Henry says, his mouth filled with the sugary food.
"He'll be fine." Snow assures Emma, then turns to peck David on the cheek. "It's not the first time I've taken care of him."
"We shouldn't be long." David says. "I love you Mary Margaret."
"I love you." She counters, nuzzling her nose against his.
Father and daughter leave the apartment, and Snow takes a good look at her grandson.
"So, what do you want to do today Henry?"
"Can we go to Granny's?"
"But you just ate!" Mary Margaret exclaims. Henry shrugs.
"I have room for a hot cocoa." He grins. Snow sighs, as he looks at her with puppy dog eyes. He'd be the death of her, those eyes would get him through anything. But hey! He is her grandson, it's her job to spoil him.
"Let's go." She smiles.
When they get to the Diner, Snow White get's a call from Grumpy , to get down to the mines as soon as possible.
She sees Neal walk in and rushes towards him.
"Neal! Thank God!"
"Mary Margaret? What's up?" He exclaims, a little surprised at her frantic state.
"Could you look after Henry for a bit?"
"Yeah sure! No problem."
"Thank you!" She runs out the diner, and Henry happily trots over to his father.
"So buddy, what would you like to do?" The boy smiles in response.
After a bit of sword fighting on the beach, Neal gets an urgent call from his father.
"You WHAT?"
"Belle may have gotten mad at me… and thrown a vial of a not so safe potion at me." Gold says. "I need your blood to counter the effect… ow… hurry!"
Neal drops the wooden sword on the sandy beach and sees Ruby walking along the waters with Dr. Whale.
"Ruby! Whale! Can you watch Henry? I've got an emergency with my dad."
"Oh." Red looks to boy drawing shapes in the sand. "Sure no problem."
Ruby and Whale take Henry to the park, when the doctor's pager starts beeping.
"It's your granny." Whale tells Ruby. "She had a heart attack." Red's eyes widen. They can't bring Henry to the hospital, but they are also in a rush. She spots a man walking by the park.
"Hook!"
Emma is tired. All day, she, Regina, David and Snow were down at the mines, helping the dwarves contain Maleficent, who had finally found a way to breech her prison. In the yellow bud, she, David and Mary Margaret drive back to the apartment, ready to make dinner and recount the day's events to little Henry. When they walk down the hall to the front door, they hear loud metal clashing against metal. Emma and David cautiously whip out their guns and barge into the apartment, not ready for what they are witnessing.
The couch is flipped, the chairs are thrown across the room. A few paper towels lie on the floor, on fire. And on top of it all, Henry is sitting on the over turned couch, next to a soon to be dead pirate… with a bottle in his hands… rum.
"What the hell!" Emma yells.
"Ah, Swan!" Hook replies casually. "I was wondering when you would show."
"Oh my God! Henry, you're too young to drink that!" Snow exclaims, yanking the bottle of rum from the eleven year old's hands.
"You gave my SON RUM?" Emma exclaims.
"Well, in our world, twelve was the normal age at which a young lad would take his first sip." Hook shrugs.
"He's ELEVEN!" Charming yells.
"What the hell are you even doing with him? Mary Margaret, I thought you said Neal had him?" Emma snaps to her mother.
"He did!" Snow snaps back.
"Well, it was the wolf girl and the doctor who passed young Henry to me." Hook replies, trying to help, causing all three of the adults to glare daggers at him.
"And what the hell did you do to my apartment?!" Emma takes a menacing step forward.
"We were practicing sword fighting!" Henry exclaims, jumping off the couch with a grin. "It was awesome."
"I thought I was teaching you?" Charming mumbles.
"Yeah but he's a pirate." Then everyone notices something on Henry's face. Emma walks towards him and stares into his eyes, then looks down on the floor to see her expensive Clinique black eyeliner, carelessly lying upon the carpet.
"Are you wearing my eyeliner?" Emma exclaims.
"Yeah, Killian, showed me how to apply it." Everyone stares at the boy wide eyed.
"I believe I should be going then." Hook says sneaking out the door.
It takes a moment for the shock to wear away, then before Henry knows it, the three Charmings dash out the door to go pirate hunting.
