This one shot is a sequel to chapter 4 my little man.

Chapter 10: My little man part 2

Henry sat in his room at Emma and Kilian's house, he had just finished his homework, and he knew he heard his mom come up and went into his little brother's nursery, and didn't hear her leave yet, after putting all his stuff away, he walked across the hall to his baby brother's room. Emma was sitting in the rocking chair holding the 6 month old, clearly had given him his bottle, burped him and was now rocking the little guy to sleep. After a couple minutes she carefully got up out of the chair and walked over to the crib, she lifted the baby from resting on her chest and brought him up lightly placing a kiss on his head. "Sweet dreams Liam. I love you my little man" and gently laid him down in the crib. When she turned around to walk out the room she saw Henry standing there, she walked out the room and quietly closed the door behind her. "Hey kid finish your homework?"

"Yep all done. Mom I thought I was your little man" he said teasingly remembering she called him that at her wedding, but it was never mentioned again.

Emma knew he was only teasing; they started down the stairs making their way to the living room "You are Henry and so is Liam. Henry you may be a teenager and he may be a baby but you both will always be my little men" by this time they were in the living room and now were sitting on the couch.

"Mom if you don't mind me asking how did that start?"

"Well um…" trying to figure what and how much to tell him. "It started when I was pregnant with you kid. I was afraid to get to close to you."

"Because you were placing me for adoption?"

"Yeah" she said slightly ashamed "But when I started to feel you move around I just found myself wanting to call you something other than the baby, somewhere little man came one night. And every night when they would turn the light off, that's when you felt the most alone, I would talk to you, you where what kept me from going insane. I would place my hands on my belly and talk to you, there were times I swear you knew when I needed comfort, and knew right where my hands where cause you would kick where my hands where always at the right moments." She said with a smile thinking about it, how her baby somehow could comfort her when she couldn't comfort herself.

"Wow. I really did that mom?"

"Yeah kid. When you brought me here to break the curse and you called me the savior I couldn't help but laugh at myself cause that's what I thought about you, you where my savior in a sense during that time." Without missing a beat Henry launched forward and wrapped his mom up in a hug that she equally gave back to him. "And I still think of you that way Henry, you and Liam you two are my only constants in this crazy town. I love Killian with all my heart but you two, I know I will always have you guys, and I know you will fight to the end for me and with me just like I would for my boys." And Emma now had tears falling from her eyes. She looked at the clock and saw that if they were going to start their family movie night they better get started now. "Alright kid enough with the emotional stuff" making them both laugh "go get Killian so we can start our movie night. And I will get the movie going and some popcorn popped."

Henry went and did what he was told and the family enjoyed there night together. That night when he went to bed he couldn't help but think about what Emma told him about the nickname she had for him and his brother. He knew jail had to be tough for his mom but he never had any idea that he made it more bearable for her, that him being there, growing inside her, made it less lonely in some way. She said it was mostly at night when she would talk to him she called him that he could not help but wonder if she still did. Henry still had some old toyish spy gear from a few years ago; one of them was a sound recorder that was activated by movement. But if he was honest he didn't know if she even came into his room anymore at night but it was worth a shot.

About a hour later Emma and Killian came upstairs for the night and Emma went to check on Henry like she did every night he stayed over, and like she did every single night with Liam. She stepped into Henrys doorway and just stood there at minute watching him peacefully sleeping, she just couldn't believe how fast he was growing up. After a minute she then walked up to his bed, tried moving some of the hair that fell into his face, she leaned over and lightly placed a kiss on his forehead and placed her hand on his cheek and gently rubbed her thumb on his cheek once she removed her hand she gave him another kiss and whispered "Goodnight little man I love you." She gave a smile and walked out and went and checked on Liam. The next morning when Henry woke up he checked the sound recorder, doubting it got anything, but he was wrong, his mom did indeed come him and she said it she called him her little man. Even though he was a teenager that name didn't bother him cause he knew it something special from his mom, and when Liam gets bigger he would make sure he felt the same way about the special name their mom called them.

Hope you guys liked it. Until next time…..
