This one-shot is Emma being raised in the enchanted forest, she still had Henry. Also Snow and David had a difficult time having more children, so Snow took up more responsibility in the kingdom, when Emma got pregnant, Snow also found out she too was pregnant, and the charming's had a son who they named Leo. Leo and Henry where born a hour apart, and grew up more like brothers then, uncle and nephew, and Emma was more like a mom then a sister since Snow had so much to do in the kingdom Emma somewhat helped raise Leo.

So in this one-shot when the charming's are visit by a new allied kingdom, they don't know each other the king confuses that Leo is Emma's son instead of brother, Leo is confused by it while having a day out with Emma and Henry.

I don't own OUAT or its characters just my imagination.

Chapter 35: Sister/mother, Nephew/brother

Emma was awaken by the sun streaming through the curtains of her bedroom window, she yawned and stretched while still lying in bed enjoying the uncommon silence that usually fills her mornings.

The silence was quickly ruined, when her bedroom door opened, with two seven year old boys came running in "Mom" "Emma" they said separately then together "Wake up."

Emma couldn't help but laugh when the two boys jumped up on her bed, attacking her with hugs "Ok, ok I'm up" she sits up giving both boys a hug and kiss good morning "How are my favorite boys this morning?" ruffling up Henrys hair.

"I'm good mom" said her son Henry as he tried to fix his hair after his mom messed it up. She looked to the other boy.

"Good Emma. Mom told us to wake you up the guest will be here soon and we need to eat breakfast before mom and dad go to their meetings" her brother Leo said. Their parent's kingdom recently made a alliance with a new kingdom, and they came to talk to Snow and David to talk things out.

"Fine I'm getting up. So while they are at these meeting what are we" gesturing to the three of them "going to do today?"

"Mom it's Saturday, no lessons today can we go outside and play? Will you play with us?" said Henry.

"Yeah Emma come play ball with us" Leo added. Both boys giving her puppy eyed looks, which she could not say no to when they both together did it.

Now ruffling up both boys hair "Fine, you two go get dressed, while I get dressed, then we can eat breakfast, meet this king and queen, then we can go have fun" giving the boys a wink.

The boys didn't have to be told twice, they both loved when Emma played games with them. Since they were both babies Emma was highly involved in both their lives, Emma rarely accepted help with Henry, and she spent as much quality time with him as possible. Leo, like most royal babies spent most of his days with a nanny while Snow took care of what she needed to, but at night he was all hers, but Emma also helped out with him during the day, to give the nanny a break. Once the boys turned one, and became more active, Emma stepped up even more with helping with Leo. It was during this time the boys started getting close, spending majority of the hours they were awake together, and with Emma. Leo even called Emma "mama", when he was a baby. Henry spoke first calling Emma "mama" so the next day wanting to keep up with Henry, Leo called Emma "mama", many in the castle where not surprised since Emma did spend a lot of time with him, and probably seemed to the young boy that she was mom, but he quickly got corrected and Snow rightfully became "mama" from Leo.

Everyone got dressed and had breakfast, while waiting for their guest, Emma took the boys to their shared playroom. When they got word the guest arrived Emma and the boys went to meet the guest. "King Stephen, Queen Marie I would like to introduce you to my daughter Emma, her son Henry and Leo."

All three bowed and said "Welcome."

David gave them a nod and they left to head outside to play. Before leaving out of earshot Leo heard King Stephen say "Your daughter and her boys are quit the delight David" Leo then continued to outside as David corrected the guest.

The three started towards the empty field where they will play, Emma noticed a look on her brother's face "What's wrong Leo?" putting her arm around his shoulder giving it a squeeze.

"Why do people always do that?" asked Leo.

"Do what kiddo?"

"Think you're my mom instead of my sister."

Emma understood, anytime their family went to other kingdoms or realms and the three of them went out to explore many thought she was a mom to two boys on a walk, instead of the truth a mom out on a walk with her son and brother. "Because Leo, since you both are the same age everyone assumes you are both my sons. You actually look more like my child then Henry does" her and Henry chuckle, he now walked on Emma's other side holding her hand. "I get kid that it sucks it happens but you just kind of have to ignore it."

Leo smiles at her "Ok Emma."

After a minute Emma decides to try to lighten up the mood "But I have to ask kid, is there a reason you don't like people thinking I'm you mom, do I embarrass you or something?" making a goofy face.

Both boys crack up laughing "Yeah Leo mom is the best, sometimes I wish you were my brother instead of uncle, because you're my best friend." Emma gives Henrys hand a squeeze; moments like this make her feel proud he was such a great kid.

Then Leo talked "I'm not embarrassed Emma, I guess just sometimes I wish it was true, there's times you feel more like my mom then sister, more than mom does sometimes" Emma just listens, giving his arm a squeeze again "please don't tell mom I said that please Emma" giving her a pleading look, then looked at Henry "And Henry, you're like my brother too" the two giving each other a big smile.

"Bud, I know it's tough, but mom and dad love you, they love us. And it took them along time to get you kid, so mom thinking she didn't need all that free time took more on, but when you did come, she couldn't get that time back."

The boys were about to run off to play ball, Emma held them back, brought them next to each other than knelt down in front of them "Look you two, no matter how the three of us are related, whether its sister and brother, mother and son, or uncle and nephew, you two are still my boys. We are….?"

The boys answered in unison "the three musketeers."

Emma lightly laughed "That's right" she focused on Leo then "You may be my brother Leo, but I love you just as much as I do Henry, you are still my boy, and you will always have me, you can always come to me" she then leans and kisses his check, then looks at Henry "And you kiddo, I love you so much. I love that you guys get to grow up together, that your best friends" she takes both their hands in hers and gives them a squeeze "I want you two to promise me, that will not ever change, no matter how weird it may feel in the future that your uncle and nephew, continue to be best friends ok?"

"Yes mom." "Yes Emma" they answered.

She stood up and kissed the top of both their heads "Alright go play" they ran off a few feet away. Emma spent the afternoon watching the boys playing. She truly loved them both so much, if she didn't know any better they could both be her kids, and if she was honest, on occasion when Leo slipped and called her mom instead of Emma, which happened every once in a while, Emma couldn't help but smile, cause although he was her brother, he was a second son.

Hope you guys liked it. This was a idea I have had stuck in my head for a while but didn't know what to do with it. Until next time….
