It's impossible to protect your child against life [Closed to Henry]

It had taken everything in Regina to not make herself appear at Slothburger to interrogate Neal herself, because she knew what to look for, knew what to ask. But Emma had been on her way, had sent Regina the promised text, and now all that Regina was doing was wearing a path in her carpet. It was her week with Henry, she knew he would be back eventually, but still, she was pacing as she waited. He was in trouble for not contacting she or Emma right away, but more than that, because it really was Neal, she was worried about her son.

His father was dead, he was a child trying to process the loss of a parent, and now that same father was back. Returned from a fairly fresh grave, and how did she help Henry through that? What did she tell him? All that she could do, really, was be there and make sure he was okay the best she knew how.

She had no idea why her stomach was knotted, she just knew that Henry had been blindsided today, and she had no way of knowing how to actually fix it.

By now, he was cried out, really, the silence punctuated by light sniffles now and then. But he just remained right there against her chest, then reached for her hand, taking comfort in that touch like he had on the boat coming back from Neverland.

"I don't want to lose anyone else, mom."

It hurt to hear that, but it was also the truth, and he couldn't escape it. He was only supposed to have his dad for a little while. He just hoped he could make him proud, and he could be the hero his dad was.

"I don't want you or Emma to only be with me for a short time," he breathed out shakily.
wanttobeahero: (you're a hero)

He knew she couldn't promise anything, and so he just held onto her tightly, pressing his face up against her shoulder, getting lost in the comfort she was giving him.

Please don't leave me, he begged silently.

"I know, mom."

He thought about it for a few long moments, taking a deep breath.

"Can we watch a movie?"

He was cried out, and he didn't know what to say.

He stood up, and wrapped one arm around hers, hooking his other arm around her shoulders to help her up.

"Star Wars," he decided.

He managed a soft smile and a little nod. "I love you, too, Mom."

And for tonight, she was a huge help in making him feel a little better.
