Henry's influence
IwKa asked for a oneshot of *6x05 spoilers!* based on the BTS pictures released for the episode, Henry helping Emma with her tremors.
Happy birthday IwKa! Честит Рожден ден :).
The pressure. That's what was getting to Emma. Once again it was all relying on her not to mess things up to try and capture the Evil Queen. If she failed…who knows what that evil witch would get up to next? That's when Emma started to unravel again. She heard a small drop of water fall from the roof of the cave in the distance. That was just enough to set her vision off, and then her hands started trembling uncontrollably. She was going to fail, again. She was going to let everybody down.
"Mom?" Henry asked from beside her. Emma tried to hide her hands.
"Yeah kid?" Emma responded, trying to act like nothing was wrong. Henry crouched down beside her, and pulled out her hands. Emma tried with all her might to stop the shaking, but she couldn't. Especially now that her secret was out, she was determined to try and protect Henry from whatever the future might bring for her, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't control the trembles.
"It's ok." He told her. He took her hand in his. He wished he could use his gifts as the Author to stop this for her, but he knew that would be irresponsible. "Don't be scared." Emma smiled at her son.
"Shouldn't it be me telling you that?" She asked him. Henry smiled back.
"Sometimes, yeah, but it's ok for me to tell you as well. What you're going through must be tough, but the future is never set in stone. We've fought everything else together, and we'll fight this too. We're not going to let you die, mom. I've already told you, I won't settle for anything less than two moms now." Emma smiled, Henry looked down and saw that the shaking had stopped. "Look." Emma followed her son's gaze, and saw to her amazement that the trembles had vanished. At least for the time being. Emma pulled Henry into her arms.
"You're some kid, you know that?" Henry just laughed.
"I'd say we're some family."
