Very latest Charming member
A guest asked for a oneshot of Henry sneaking a puppy into the loft around the time of season 2. Emma sound finds out but can't resist Henry's pleading. A reminder that Emma referred to her parents by their cursed names as this point.
"Kid." Emma sighed, grimacing. "It was hard enough with Pongo, and he was fully trained."
"That's why I adopted Buddy. I miss having Pongo around." Henry explained. "We've bonded now."
"Yeah, because apparently you've managed to hide a puppy from all of us for three weeks!" Emma squeaked. What were Mary Margaret and David going to say?!
"See, he's such a good boy you haven't even noticed him." Henry pointed out. "He's just a Jack Russell. He'll not be very big. I love him, mom. Pleeeeeeeeease?" Henry pleaded with her. He looked up with pleading eyes in such a way that even the hard Emma Swan was unable to resist.
"Fine!" She said, throwing her hands in the air. "Fine, you can keep Buddy here. But you're the one doing all the walks, picking up his poop, giving him regular baths, feeding him. And, most importantly, you're the one explaining to your grandparents that we have a furry new member of the family." Henry wrapped his arms around Emma's middle. Emma couldn't help but smile when the kid did that. She placed an arm on his back.
"I promise I'll take real good care of him. I won't let you down." Henry told her.
"I trust you kid." Emma said. She looked down at the little puppy. She guessed he was kinda cute.
