"Miss Swan, take Henry out for ice cream. You have thirty minutes."

With that ringing in her ears, despite knowing that Regina was up to something with Mr. Gold, Emma and Henry hurried out of the police station and went to Sara's for ice cream. It was just up the block. Wasn't everything "just up the block" in Storybrooke?

Emma, focus.

"So, Kid... what's your favorite flavor?"

That question set Henry off on a compare and contrast speech about his favorite flavors. Emma mostly listened, but still kept worrying what the hell the mayor was up to now.

“Hey.”

Emma realized that Henry had stopped walking. He stood several paces back, frowning at her. She shrugged her shoulders. “What?”

“You’re doing it wrong. You’re not fully listening to me. Even the Evil Queen completely listens to me.”

Emma sighed. Busted. She walked back over to Henry.

“You’re right. I’m sorry, Kid. This is my first time at this. Your mom has had lots of practice.”

“She’s not my mom! She’s the Evil Queen!” Henry retorted.

Twenty-five minutes, an inner voice that strangely sounded like Regina Mills pointed out. Emma sighed again.

“Okay, Kid. I’m sorry. Ice cream? You did say Superman was your favorite…” she said with a smirky grin.

Henry beamed. “You were listening!”

“Of course. C’mon. Clock’s ticking.”

They both glanced toward the clocktower over the defunct library. It most definitely was. Henry’s smile grew even brighter.

Daddy’s Little Girl
The first time that David held his son, he realized that it felt different. There was no rush of adrenaline or fear there was only love. The beautiful boy was safe in his father’s arms. He didn’t have to give him up to anyone except his son’s mother and older sister. For that moment, he felt peace.

Later as he looked at the sleeping boy safe in his bed, he thought of how much he wished that he and Snow had been able to raise Emma. David was sad and happy all at the same time.

Snow wrapped an arm around her husband’s waist as he stood at the baby’s cradle. “I know what you’re thinking. Emma knows we love her even though we couldn’t be there as she grew up.”

“It’s not fair, Snow. She was our first and she should have been safe in our arms too.” David said as he turned into her embrace. “I had to send her through that wardrobe not knowing what her fate would be. I have to live with that moment.”

“I was the one that told you to do it. We both have to live with it.” Snow said. “We have a second chance to be parents. Let’s enjoy what we have and stop mourning for what we lost.”

“I wanted to be parents the first time.” David took a deep breath. “I know you are right but it will take some time before I can be at peace with it.”

Emma tiptoed into the room and peeked into the cradle. She looked up at her parents. “What’s wrong? Is it my brother?”

“No. We were just thinking about you and when you were born.” Snow said. “It made your father a little upset.”

Emma nodded. She walked around the cradle and hugged them both.

David put his hand on the back of Emma’s head, just like he did the day she was born. She would always be daddy’s little girl.
