**This story will be co-written with 23a. I just loved Henry in tonight's eppy the way he spoke to hook and the marbles! It reminded me of Home Alone or something. I felt he was out of character pushing Emma and hook together so soon after his dad's death(we're pretending that scene didn't happen, he didn't encourage Emma to ask hook out in this). So this story is about Henry messing with hook when he tries to take his mom out on dates. So enjoy! And don't forget to review ;) **
Operation: Anaconda
Henry glanced up from his comic book that he was reading from the couch, as his mom walked down the stairs. He raised an eyebrow at her dress. Not that his mom wasn't pretty, she always was. But this pink dress she was wearing, with a pigtail. This was so not his mom. Ever since his dad died, she'd been acting different. It was like she was a different person.
He jumped as his grandma piped up. "Wow!" She was standing there cradling Uncle Neal, but set him down to pull out her camera.
"What she said."
What were his grandparents thinking? Must be the fact she looks like a 10 year old right now, they're having a parental moment. Sure enough Grandma Snow flashed a pic of Emma. He couldn't help but let out a smile at watching his mom with her parents.
Then the knock came. Henry clenched his jaw as his mom opened the door. There stood Captain Creepy pulling a flower out from behind his back. Oh how kind of the pirate.
Henry jumped up and shook Hook's new hand. He didn't miss the part where Hook stared his mother up and down. "Are you thirsty?"
Hook raised an eyebrow at Henry. "What?"
"Thirsty? I'll grab you some water." Henry went to the kitchen. He looked behind and noticed everyone carrying on a conversation. Once he ensured no one was looking, he got a drink alright. He returned and handed Hook the glass.
"Thanks." Hook took a sip and spit it out. "Oh, bloody 'ell! That tastes like vinegar!"
"Henry!" Emma shot Henry a look.
"Oh, I'm sorry. My mistake." He took the glass back to the kitchen and returned with another. He watched as Hook drank the entire glass of water.
Henry smiled and boy was it a genuine smile as he watched them leave.
OUATOUAT
"Shall I order some drinks?"
"Not tonight." Emma got comfortable in her chair.
"Why love? You a bit worried you might find me even more irresistible after a few ?" He looked at her creepily.
"No… I want to stay sober in case… Hook?"
Hook tilted forward and his face smashed on the plate in front of him.
"Hook?" Emma tried shaking him.
OUATOUAT
His mom hadn't been gone 45 minutes before she returned back home. She leaned up against the door and looked over at them.
"Emma? Is everything okay, honey?" Mary Margaret went over to her.
"He fell asleep."
"He did?" David raised an eyebrow.
Henry sunk down in his place on the couch, hiding his laughter from behind his comic book.
"It's okay, we're going out again tomorrow night." Emma smiled. "Goodnight Mom, Dad, Henry." She walked upstairs.
Henry scrunched his nose. He needed to come up with a new plan.
