Best little brother
A guest asked for a oneshot of Emma upset and Neal comforting her.
FictionLover12, think you're going to have to explain that request a little more to me I'm afraid!
It was always a hard day for Emma. It didn't get easier as the years went by. It was the anniversary of Neal's death. Yes, she had moved on, but he was still Henry's father. Still was a majorly important part of her life. Of course she also regretted not telling him about Henry sooner, allowing her son more of a chance to get to know his father. She sniffed, wiping the stray tear from her eye. Crying would get her nowhere.
"Emmy?" Came a shy little voice. Emma looked up and saw her little brother's head popped nervously around the door. "I heard you crying. I don't like it when you cry." Emma's heart melted. She had the sweetest little brother ever.
"I'm ok buddy." She said, putting on a smile for him. Neal didn't look convinced at all. Grownups seemed to think that kids couldn't tell when they were upset if they smiled. He still knew Emmy was sad. He came over and sat on her lap, cuddling her.
"I know you're not." He mumbled into her shoulder. Emma was really fighting now to hold back the tears. He was such a clever little boy.
"No, you're right, I'm not." She said honestly. "But I can promise you that I will be. Know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I have the most awesome little brother ever who's so good to his big sister." Emma told him, kissing his head. Neal felt very proud at that moment. He would always be there to help Emmy smile again.
