The love of a son
A guest asked for a oneshot of Henry being hurt by Rumple instead of Regina. When they go back she remembers and freaks out. I know this has Henry, which is the only reason I'm writing it, but guys remember this is a Charming family series please.
"Do you think you can let me go now mom?" Henry mumbled against his mom's chest. "Getting a little squished and finding it hard to breath here."
"No." Regina answered him simply. "I refuse to let go. Henry Daniel don't you ever do that again!" Regina reluctantly released Henry, only to take his face in her hands. "I could have lost you, I did lose you. Speaking of which, where is that scaly freak?! When I get my hands on that buffoon I won't need magic to rip his heart out…"
"Mom, the buffoon is still my grandfather." Henry pointed out, though amused by his mom's protectiveness. "Besides, it doesn't matter now. Isaac's world has been destroyed. I'm the new Author now and I won't allow any more havoc to be created." Regina smiled proudly, tapping Henry gently on the nose.
"Yes you are. My little Author. But that doesn't mean I've forgotten this whole you dying business. If the choice is my life or yours you don't save me, ever. Is that understood? Otherwise I will come back from the dead in ghost form simply to ground you for a decade." Regina said, only half joking. Henry laughed.
"Understood, but I make no promises." Henry could never choose himself over his mom. He was her little soldier, he had to keep her safe.
