This chapter is full of Henry's adorable face and a secret answer to Henry's birth parent. Don't scroll down too fast to get an answer! Just relax and enjoy this chapter.


The family room went silent after Emma's announcement that she had a son that her family didn't know about her ten years' life. They missed the memo. No one spoke up at all. Their eyes just went bewildered or deer in the headlights.

Henry tilted his head and looked up at his mom. The blonde actress awkwardly smiled at him while caressing his shoulders. He was not tall enough to meet her height and still growing up. He cleared his throats and spoke lightly.

"I'm Henry. I'm ten years old. So, Merry Christmas!"

It got Emma to chuckle at her son's adoration for her family. She looked up at them and waited. Everett slowly smiled at him and nodded with an appreciating look. Amy just went silent and looked at her mom who was processing everything. David glanced at his wife and felt something that concerned him.

"Merry Christmas!" Neal said with a dimple. The brown-haired boy nodded and continued.

"You are supposed to be Neal. She talked about you frequently. You seemed cool."

"Oh yes, I am. It's my pleasure to meet you, Henry." The brown-haired stud man commented with a smile. The brown-haired boy grinned and moved on to other siblings that he never met for his ten years then pointed out to whichever one to name. The blonde actress smiled at her son and felt proud that she did tell some stories about her family that she desired to introduce him.

"Next, you are Amy. And, you are Everett too. Let me guess, Emma's parents over there are Mary Margaret and David. She talked about you most of the time. It's wonderful to meet my mom's family. I know it's awkward to see me like today." Henry slowly comforted them with his soft voice. Emma was nervously chuckling and messing her son's brown locks.

It exposed them to understand what's going on with Emma's life. Sometimes, they didn't understand the why on the surprise child. On the other side, they really were happy to see Emma again after ten years of her absence through the holidays. But no one wanted to compliment or welcome Henry on their bewildered looks.


"Oh dear, poor us! We've been not polite when we open our arms to a new family member. Everett, Amy and Neal, go on to hug him." Mary Margaret scolded them with a chuckle. The golden-haired woman looked down at him and gave him a wink. Henry grinned and looked at his new uncles and aunt who came to open their arms toward him.

David sighed and walked toward his daughter with his open arms. He kissed on her forehead and whispered. Emma exhaled softly while she felt so loved from her father but heard his voice in her ear. They watched Henry chattering with Everett and Neal about his favorite video games. Amy and Mary Margaret stayed behind them with their whispers.

"Welcome back, my baby."

"Thank you, dad. I'm sorry about not coming home." Emma sighed and apologized right away with a frown.

"Oh my spice. You don't dare to apologize toward your old man. I'm so happy that you are coming home today. I hope you stay here a little longer." David explained with a stern look.

"We've thinking about staying here until after New Year's Day." Emma responded with a smile. Mary Margaret heard it from her daughter and ran toward her for another tight hug. The blonde woman was shocked but choked when her mother tightened her arms around her neck. The blond man widened his eyes when he saw a red face on his daughter and tried to separate them with a shout.

"You're choking on Emma's neck. Get off."

"Oof!" Emma mumbled and coughed to get her breath back to normal. The pixie cut woman was not realizing that she actually choked her daughter and gave a sheepishly smile. The blonde woman waved her hand with a dismissal. Henry raised a perfect eyebrow at his mom. Amy looked at her new nephew and widened her eyes when she recognized someone from his face. Everett and Neal didn't notice his facial expression.

The golden-haired superstar nodded with a silent 'I'm ok' at her son. The brown-haired boy rolled his eyes and went back to his conversation with his new uncles. Julie and Brad stayed silent while mingling with their sweethearts on the couches. The loud redhead woman narrowed her eyes at her oldest sister and decided to take Emma away to the kitchen for their privacy.


Others ignored the ladies who were walking away from the family room and focused on their new family member. Emma was trying to pace away with her young sister and finally came in the kitchen. She was surprised that the kitchen remodeled since her departure ten years ago. Last time, Emma remembered that she had blue wallpapers with old fashioned appliances included handmade kitchen table near the back porch doors.

Now this time, the kitchen had new modern appliances, the dark crimson red paint on the walls everywhere and the black marble stone counters. The floor was replaced from the beige tiles to the brown mahogany hardwood floor. The cabinets used to be a light brown oak but now, those cabinets were replaced to the see-through white cabinets. Until, it caught her eye when she saw the photo of her parents and her. It broke her heart when she saw it on the wall beside the doors.

Amy exhaled deeply and slammed on the kitchen counter. It scared Emma out of the hell. The blonde woman jumped when she heard it and looked back at her young sister. The redhead woman tried to smile and cleared her throat then continued.

"I just recognized your son's face. Please, to be honest with me. Did Henry have a father?"

"Well, technically no. He doesn't have a father. So, tell me who you have been recognizing his face?" The golden-haired woman slowly stared at her while calming herself with a nice response. The loud redhead scoffed with a soft glare. Emma was sure that they would have an argument in few minutes before their family barging in their conversation like always.

"I swear on our great-great grandfather's grave. Any chance that Henry's 'father' is Regina Mills?" Amy stared into the emerald eyes with a blank look and responded with her quote fingers. The blonde actress gulped and looked away with a pale face. The loud redhead woman caught her look with a gasp and nearly yelled.

"Regina Mills is actually a 'father' to Henry!?"

"Yes, it is hers. Please let me explain why Regina is his 'father' or mother' Whatever that is." The blonde actress complied while trying to calm her young sister. Amy shook her head furiously while pointing out at her oldest sister. They were nearly yelling at each other while others in the family room heard them in the kitchen.
