**Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming! :) I hated how in Neverland. David was made to look stupid for protecting Emma. I mean seriously, hook was sitting on a log, drinking rum and staring her up and down IN FRONT OF HER PARENTS. Any sane parent would be concerned. So anyway, bringing in David to help! **
Henry couldn't believe that the clown thing didn't work. He thought that at least the pirate would run off to find his jolly roger, embarrassed that his precious good looks were tarnished.
He sat at the dinner table playing with his food. He just wasn't hungry.
"Henry, dear. Why aren't you eating?" Regina took a sip of wine.
"I'm just not that hungry. Can I be excused?"
"Not until you tell me what's going on. You've been quiet all day. Are you ill?" Her hand immediately went to his forehead.
"No, I'm fine." He bit his lip, unsure whether to bring it up.
"Then talk to me. You can tell me anything."
Henry sighed. "Okay… it's that darn pirate!"
Regina clenched her napkin into a ball. "If that sleaze did something to hurt you, then I'll kill him!"
"No! Mom, mom… relax. He hasn't hurt me. I'm just worried about my mom. He's no good for her, all he wants is sex. Her eyes need to be opened."
"I noticed that too. I didn't say anything, because I figured if Emma is happy, you'd be happy."
"I'm happy when both my moms are happy." Henry squeezed Regina's hand and smiled slightly. "If I truly thought that Hook could make her happy, then I wouldn't be trying to stop their dates. But Mom can do much better."
"I agree wholeheartedly. What have you done to stop their dates?"
"I've given him sleeping pills, put every bad smell imaginable in his cologne, gave him chocolate ex-lax, and basically turned him into a clown."
Regina busted out laughing. "I bet you got a kick out of those."
"Yeah and it even ended their dates early. But it's not ending their relationship permanently."
"I think you need to up your game."
Henry leaned in closer. "Got any ideas?"
OUATOUAT
The doorbell rang promptly at 6pm. This time his mom didn't bother wearing a dress. She simply wore her red jacket and skinny jeans. Henry sighed in relief as he peaked around his grandpa. His grandmother took Neal to their mommy and me class, so Henry was spending the evening with his grandpa. The two had started an epic chess battle, one Henry wasn't going to lose.
"Killian?" Emma's eyes grew wide.
"Yes, love?"
"Um, did you… um…" Emma was trying to put it lightly. "Did you get a haircut?"
"What do you mean?" Killian looked at the mirror on the wall and noticed he was bald! He screamed which made David and Henry chuckle to themselves. "Where did my dashing locks go?"
"Dashing?" David raised an eyebrow and whispered to Henry.
"Don't worry about it. We can still enjoy our date." Emma squeezed his hand which made David and Henry want to hurl.
"I supposed it's alright, lass. At least my lower area is ready to go." He wrapped his arms around her waist.
David shot up, knocking the chess board to the floor and threw Hook against the wall. "NOBODY TALKS TO MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT!"
"Dad!" Emma pulled David off him.
Hook simply grinned.
"Dad, stop it!"
"Emma, no man has the right to treat you like that. I'm not going to stand around and-"
"David, I am an adult and I make my own choices!"
David felt a knife through his heart, she hadn't called him David in a long time.
"I get to choose who I spend my time with and who I date. Now if you excuse me, I am going to spend my evening with Killian." Emma grabbed Killian's arm and they left the apartment.
"Are you okay Grandpa?" Henry was still sitting at the table, unsure of whether he should have stepped in or not.
"I won't be until that pirate is away from my daughter. I stepped back because I want your mother to be happy, but nobody could be happy with someone who treats them like an object."
"Then maybe you can join me in Operation: Anaconda." Henry smiled.
