Fiction
A guest asked for a oneshot of *season 6 finale spoilers!* Henry being the one that's cursed, thinking Fiona is his mom. Emma is the one awake, and she has to convince him the fairytales are real.
"Can't you remember this?" Emma said, nearly pulling her hair out. "This was where your castle was, Henry! This is where we first really connected. Where I told you that I gave you up for my best chance. Where you told me my parents did the same…"
"I really thought you were over this mom." Henry sighed. "I thought you weren't having these…problems anymore. That never happened. I never told you that your parents were Snow White and Prince Charming. You were raised in the foster system because your parents gave you up. Not because you were put through some magical wardrobe. How did you even break out of the hospital, anyway?" He asked. Emma shrugged.
"Your dad taught me a thing or two." She told him. "Your dad, you know, the son of Rumplestiltskin?"
"My dad was a lowlife thief who is living it large in Canada now." Henry said, it was clear this was a touchy subject for him. "Look, I don't know how you got out, but if you're not quick, my mom's going to put you right back in. If I'm honest, I think that would be best, but I'm not going to make you go back." Henry got up. "I'll say I haven't seen you. You've not got long before she realises you're missing, and I'll be the first person she'll ask. Go, mom. Go back to Boston." Emma shook her head.
"Henry, I'm not leaving Storybrooke." She told him. "If I leave, the rest of our family, they'll be trapped wherever Fiona's hidden them all. Please, you have to believe me…" Emma stepped forward, trying to take Henry's face in her hands, but he pulled back.
"No, mom." He said firmly. "I stopped believing in fairytales a long time ago. It's time you did too." He turned on his heel and walked away, ignoring Emma's pleas for him to come back. He was too old for stories.
