Ok here is the first of my one shots in this universe. I will let you know where they fit into my timeline. Oh, if you have any ideas let me know I will do my best to add a scene for you. I'm still having the compulsion to write but I don't have any big story ideas right now. Again not an owner of Eureka just a fan.
Henry holds Emma for the first time
Henry entered the infirmary late one night at the end of April. The stasis gel had been drained from the incubator earlier this week. Emma was doing great breathing on her own and even taking a bottle. Jack had convinced Jo to head home to shower and take a quick nap so Henry had volunteered to sit with Emma.
"Hello sweet girl." he said walking over to the incubator. Pulling on a sterile dressing he opened the incubator. "Come see your Uncle Henry."
This was the first time Henry would ever get to hold her. Cradling the still small little girl against his chest he started to hum softly he started to sway as if dancing.
"Sweet, sweet girl we were so close to loosing you little one, you have no idea just how close or maybe you do." He inhaled deeply. Jo's pregnancy had been one tiny ray of hope in the whole Astreaus disaster. After losing Kim and now Grace being missing Henry needed something to hang on to. At first it he had that familiar itch to find a way to change the timeline so Grace didn't get on the ship. It was hard not to go down that road again. He had learned lessons the hard way.
Now this tiny ray of hope had spent the last three months fighting for her life. She was getting stronger and before long would be going home with her mom. Not her mom and dad just her mom, because that cruel trick of fate that had taken Grace from him had also taken her father. Her father who didn't even know that he had a daughter let alone just how close he had come to losing both her and Jo.
Henry kissed the tiny girls head. "I will make you a promise Miss Emma Donovan, I will do everything I can to get your Daddy and Aunt Grace and the others home and you promise to get stronger and be here when they come home. One day you will meet those astronauts, I promise. And I always keep my promises, always."
Sighing again he laid Emma back in the incubator and smiled. Such a small little person who had captured such a large part of his heart, "I love you sweet little one."
