Title: Helping Henry

Disclaimer: I do not own Once Upon a Time in any form.

Summary: Neal and Gold help the youngest member of their family win the attention of the girl of his dreams.

A/N: I wanted to write something fluffy and sweet with the Stiltkin men. I am thinking this may be a one shot or multiple chapters.

This is AU, which meansno one is out to kill anyone and Stprybrooke is fine and everything is just fine in the lives of Storybrooke's residents.

I apologize if the characters are OOC or for any mistakes as I have not had anyone look this over.

so if your still with me…. on to the story!

The day outside was terribly cold and the wind whipped through the trees. Inside Granny's diner though the mood was anything but chilly.

The small restaurant was crowded with the lunch rush and people just wanting a warm place to sit and grab a mug of hot chocolate or coffee.

At a corner booth in the back of the establishment sat three men, well two men and one twelve year old boy.

"Grandpa, can I have the rest of your fries?" The boy asked; already reaching across the table to snatch some french fries of his grandfather's plate.

Mr. Gold, or Rumplestiltskin as he was otherwise known, smiled and pushed the plate closer to Henry.

"whoa Henry, slow down. Your mom would murder me if you choked on a french fry." The boy's father remarked as Henry stuffed the fries in his mouth.

"sorry…."

He gulpped when he heard a girl's voice next to him. Henry turned, his face turning tomato red when he saw Grace, the Mad Hatter's daughter, standing next to the table.

"Hi Henry." the little girl said sweetly.

"huh…um, hi Grace." the preteen replied.

The look on Henry's face made his father and grandfather smile. "so, are you going to the miner's day parade tomorrow?" The blonde girl asked.

Henry was silent , he just started at Grace like she was from outer space.

Gold cleared his throat as Neal, sitting beside Henry, tried his best not to burst out laughing.

"Henry." the grandfather spoke. "I believe this lovely, young lady just asked you a question."

Apparently finding his voice the dark haired boy replied to the question. "um… yeah. I mean yes I am. I'm going with my family." as soon as he spoke it Henry wanted to kick himself. Of course he was going with his family…. who else would he be going with.

Grace smiled. "good, well papa and I will see you there then." she said a quick goodbye to Neal and Mr. Gold and left.

Henry sighed and plopped his head down on the table, his forehead making a slight thud on the tabletop.

Unable to hold in his glee at his son's expense, Neal burst out laughing earning him a glare from his father and a muffled moan from his son.
