A little bit of Henry and Charming bonding.
(Set in season two when Snow and Emma were at the enchanted forest)

"Gramps?" a familiar, little voice awoke Charming from his dreams. Not that he minded, he had lost Snow there as well.

"Hey kid, are you okay?" he asked checking the clock, it was 6am.

Henry shuffled his feet and looked at the floor. As he did so he moved a little into the light and Charming saw his tear stained face.

"Nightmares again?" he asked softly. Henry was so alike his grandma, intensified by the fact he was suffering curse induced dreams.

A sniff and slight nod told Charming all he needed to know.

"Come lie down with me then. I'll light a candle and we'll get a few more hours rest".

Charming moved onto Snow's side of the bed and allowed his grandson to get into his. Something just didn't seem right about Henry resting where his wife should be.

He lit the candle and began to hum an old lullaby he remembered from his mother and his days as a shepherd. Henry was maybe a little too old for this but he had missed so much with him already.

Just when Charming thought he was asleep, Henry whispered "can we sword fight again tomorrow?"

"Of course we can Prince Henry" Charming replied with a soft chuckle.
