Chapter 4

Emma stood in the kitchen, attempting to fix her hair so it would stop getting in her face. Once she finally got her mess of wavy blond hair successfully up, she continued to place the fruits and veggies, she had previously cut up, into small containers. She started to get lost in her thoughts until she felt something crash into her legs and arms wrap around them. "MOMMY!"

Her eyes met Henry's and she smiled as he reached up for her to pick him up. As Emma lifted Henry, he threw his little arms around her neck. "Hey, Kiddo!" She kissed his cheek and he giggled. "Where's daddy?" Henry pointed to the hall just as Neal came into view.

"Someone decided to escape his bedroom and run to mommy while daddy was finishing cleaning up." Neal raised his brow and looked at Henry, who in return gave a smile. Oh, this kid already knew how to use his cuteness as a power.

"Well, of course, mommy is so much cooler than daddy." Emma gave Henry's tummy a little tickle and he burst out into a fit of giggles.

"I would have to agree." Neal walked up and gave Emma a quick kiss and stole a carrot. "So what's the plan for today?"

Neal grabbed a couple more veggies out of the containers. "We are going to have a picnic in the park", she stated. "But, only if you would stop eating the food I've prepared." Emma moved the food out of Neal's reach."Hmm, Henry, would you like to go to the park?" She turned her attention to her son.

Henry let out a small gasp in excitement. "YAY!" he clapped his hands.

"Park and picnic it is," Neal agreed as henry let out another squeal in excitement.

Once they finally arrived at the park, Henry couldn't stay still, all he could see were the swings and slides that he loved so much. The one year old pointed to the swings signaling to where he wanted to go. "Sings," he repeated over and over again until his mother finally placed him into the seat. "Weeeeeeeeeeee!" He laughed as Emma started to push the swing at just the right speed.

Neal laughed at Henry's enthusiasm. "Hey buddy, do you want to go a little faster? Show mommy how we boys do it?" Henry gave his father a little nod.

Giving Henry's head a kiss, Emma moved to the front to watch them. As the swing would go faster and higher, Henry would let go of the swing and clap, giggling the entire time. It only made Emma worry about how much of a daredevil her child would be in the future, even if this was only a baby swing.

Once he got bored of the swings, Henry ran over to the slide and attempted to climb the stairs. "Hey, buddy, wait for us." Neal chuckled as he caught Henry in his arms. After a couple of rounds at the slides, and sitting on his father's lap on the seesaw, Henry finally started to get tired and a little hungry. The family moved towards their blanket they had set up on the ground and pulled out the food.

It wasn't long after Henry had eaten, for him to fall asleep in his mother's arms. Henry could never fight off sleep when his mother stroked his hair, and so he leaned his head on her chest, listening to her heart beat and let sleep take over. "I think he's asleep," Neal noted, bitting into a pear.

"We can always count on a good nap after the park." Emma laughed and moved Henry so he was still resting his head on her chest but that she could reach the food. "He's growing up so fast."

"That's what Jerry said yesterday. He was so surprised at how much he walked and ran around."

"We have a son that is just a burst of energy."

"And don't forget his curiosity. I seriously need to Henry-proof my office before he comes back next time," Neal laughed.

"You mean you haven't already?" Emma raised her eyebrow at her boyfriend.

"Well, I mean... I had it somewhat baby proofed, but he's never really come to the office when he was walking on his own," Neal argued and took another bite out of his pear. They both stayed silent for a little while as they ate, both glancing at each other and smiling every time they caught each other looking. "Em?"

"Yeah?" Emma looked up at Neal, she instantly started to rub Henry's back as he stirred in her arms until he went still again.

"I was wondering..." He didn't know what he was doing. He wasn't ready to do this. What if she just laughed at him? Even though he had gone over this, over and over again to prepare, but his nerves were getting the best of him.

"You were wondering?" Emma could only see fear in Neal's eyes. "Babe?"

"I know you said that you didn't want to get married because we were having Henry, but, I mean, we've been together and I couldn't imagine anyone else that I would want to spend my life with."

"Is this going where I think it's going? Because if it is, Neal, it's not the best time to ask me while I'm holding our sleeping son," Emma joked trying to ease his mind.

"Let me finish," he pleaded and she threw a hand up in the air letting him continue. "I was going to wait to ask you, because I had an evening planned... I was going to be romantic, I was going to surprise you, but Emma Swan, I don't want to wait. I can't think of a better time to ask you that would feel more right than right now." He paused and closed his eyes trying to mutter up the confidence for his next question. "Emma Swan, will you marry me?" He stared into her eyes and he could see them starting to glisten over with tears, and he felt his own eyes starting to tear up.

"If I wasn't holding our sleeping one year old, I would be jumping into your arms right about now," Emma smiled.

"So is that a 'yes'?" Neal hoped and secretly wished it wasn't Emma's way of ignoring his question.

"Neal Cassidy, that is a definite 'yes'." Emma leaned in and kissed him. A smile spread across both their faces. It was then that Neal pulled out the box from his pocket and Emma looked at him in even more shock. "Neal you brought the ring with you, to the park?"

"Yeah," he shyly admitted, then continued, "as I said I was going to propose when I took you out two nights from now, but I mean, I don't know, something in my mind this morning just told me to take it. And you know what? Now just felt like the right time. With Henry sleeping in your arms, being in the park surrounded by nature. I don't know... I just hope you're not disappointed and would rather have the romantic proposal." Neal had already started to second guess his decision, Jerry had helped him plan the evening and he knew that Emma would have loved it.

"Hey, Babe. Look at me." Emma turned Neal's face so it was facing hers. "Now, don't even think for a second that I would have liked that one better. This one is more like us. And I couldn't agree more with you, having Henry here, although he's asleep, I mean, it makes me feel whole. And I love you more than the world itself, Neal Cassidy, and I couldn't think of a better man that I would want to marry."

"You mean it?"

"Who's the one proposing here?" Emma laughed.

"Sorry." Neal gave her a quick kiss and opened the box. Emma gasped at the ring. "I'm guessing you like the ring?" Neal's smile grew.

"This is beautiful Neal! How on earth did you pick it?" Neal finished placing the ring on Emma's finger, and she couldn't take her eyes of it.

"Haha, don't worry Em, I didn't steal it," he joked, although now wasn't the right time to be bringing up their pasts as thieves. Sure, they talked about their past, but those weren't their proudest moments. "Jerry helped me pick it out," he continued. "Do you know how many stores I went to in order to find the perfect ring?" He scooted closer so that Emma could rest against his chest. Neal took Emma's left hand in his, and he ran his free hand through Henry's hair.

"You did a great job. I'm proud." Emma kissed his cheek. "I think you could have given me a ring made from flowers and I would have loved it"

"I know, but you deserve this, and so much more," His eyes never left Emma's.

"I have everything I deserve right here. My boys, are all I need to make me happy. Well, you can throw in chocolate in that mix too." Emma kissed Henry and then Neal.

As Neal laughed at his fiancé, Henry began to wake up. Hands rubbing over his little eyes, he looked at his parents. "Look who's decided to join the party." Neal tasseled Henry's hair and he smiled.

"I think a couple more swings and slides and he'll be out like a light for the rest of the night," Emma smirked as she watched Henry continue to rub his sleepy eyes.

"Shall we go swing then?" Neal stood up and held his hand out to help Emma up. Once they were all standing, Neal took Henry into his arms and walked towards the swings. "Hey buddy, mommy said yes to daddy. Mommy and daddy are going to get married. I guess that means no more making you listen to my proposal speech." Emma laughed as she listened to Neal talking to their son.

"Yay!" Henry clapped, clearly not understanding what his father was saying, but the excitement in Neal's voice made Henry feel like it was the right thing to do.

Neal then stopped walking to let Emma catch up to them. As Emma caught up, they both looked at each other before they kissed and Henry continued his clapping. With another squeal from Henry, they were brought back to reality and laughed. "So when do you think we should have the wedding?" Emma questioned and Neal groaned. "Didn't think that we'd start talking about it this soon?" Neal shook his head. "Go play on the swings," Emma laughed and Neal marched onward to the swings tickling Henry. She looked back down at the ring on her finger and took a second to really enjoy the moment. She was going to marry Neal Cassidy and she couldn't be happier.
