Potty Training

Kourtney Najjar asked for a oneshot of Neal potty training and Snow and Charming leave Hanna to watch him, and he has lots of accidents because he's afraid to ask for help.

So I know that I asked that you only make requests for things that happened before the part of the show I'm currently writing about in The Other Daughter, but I didn't think about things that might take place after season 6. This particular request would be taking place a few years after the end season 6. There's a lot to explore in this time frame that I didn't think of, so thanks for the idea! These requests could be a lot of fun, and they wouldn't conflict with what I might be writing in upcoming chapters of The Other Daughter. So, I'll take requests about things that may have happened after season 6 too! I just don't want to get into anything that might be happening in season 7 :) Thanks again for all of your reviews/requests! Enjoy! **Also, there may be a little part in here that would be a spoiler if you haven't watched the finale yet :)

Hanna may have had the day off from school, but she ended up having to be on babysitting duty today. There was a teacher work day at school, so her mom still had to go to work. Her dad was normally home, but Emma needed his help at the station today. Apparently, Killian was home sick with the flu. Hanna knew her dad didn't mind stepping in from time to time. Part of him missed working with Emma. So, that left Hanna home to watch her little brother. She loved hanging out with Neal, but lately it's been particularly hard since he had just started potty training.

"Neal what are you doing back there? You know you're not suppose to be playing behind the curtains," Hanna said as she pulled them back. She looked down at her little brother, who had a very guilty expression on his face. "Neal, what did you…" Hanna started to ask, then she noticed that his pants were wet. She sighed. "Did you have an accident?" Hanna asked as she kneeled down in front of him.

Neal looked down and slowly nodded his head. "I'm sorry Hanny," he told her with a sniffle.

"It's alright buddy," Hanna told him with a smile. She took him upstairs, got him all cleaned up, and into some different clothes. "Remember, you have to tell me if you need to go potty, okay." Hanna reminded him once they got back downstairs.

"Okay, Neal said with a nod of his head. He went back to playing with his toys.

Awhile later, Hanna was in the kitchen getting Neal a snack. She wasn't gone five minutes when she came back into the living room, and he was gone. He wasn't on the floor playing with his cars anymore.

"Neal! Where did you go?" Hanna called out. She knew he liked to play hide and seek sometimes…without actually telling anyone though. His version of the game often started with him just going to hide somewhere, and they would all search the house for him. He thought it was hilarious. Hanna had a feeling he was hiding for a different reason right now though.

She searched for a few minutes and found him sitting under the dining room table. Hanna sighed and crawled under the table with him.

"What's wrong Neal?" Hanna asked him.

"I had another accident," Neal said as he looked up at his big sister with tears in his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me you had to go?" Hanna asked him.

"I don't know," Neal said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Neal, you have to tell me if you need to go that way I can help you."

Neal just nodded his head at her.

"You promise you'll tell me next time?"

"I promise, Hanny," Neal told her.

"Alright, good. Let's go get you some new clothes then," Hanna said as she crawled out from under the table. Neal followed, and they went to change his outfit for the second time today.

Hanna wasn't going to take her eyes of of Neal for the rest of the day. She was not going to let him have another accident. She asked him just about every ten minutes if he needed to go potty. He kept telling her that he didn't need to go, but she still continued to ask.

They were busy building a tower with Neal's blocks when he abruptly stopped playing and stood up.

"Neal…do you need to go potty now?" Hanna asked once more.

"No," Neal said as he shook his head.

"How about we go try," Hanna said as she stood to take him into the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, Hanny," Neal said as he started to cry.

"Not again," Hanna sighed to herself. "It's alright, come on."

Hanna took Neal upstairs and put another new pair of pants on him. It was time for his nap anyways, so she just put a diaper on him and laid him down in his bed. He was still upset that he had another accident, so she read him a few stories to help calm him down. Within a few minutes, he was fast asleep.

Hanna went downstairs and got into the closet where her mom kept all of her craft supplies. She pulled out a piece of construction paper, a marker, and a packet of stickers. She drew some lines on the paper to make boxes, then wrote "Neal's Potty Chart" on the top. Hanna wasn't sure why he kept having accidents. She didn't know if he was afraid to tell her he had to go, if he was just too busy playing to realize he needed to go, or if he was just being stubborn. She was determined to get this kid potty trained though and hoped this would do the trick.

Hanna took Neal into the bathroom after his nap. "Okay, Neal. This is your special potty chart," Hanna said as she pointed to the chart she had taped on the wall. "Every time you go on the potty you get to put a sticker in one of the boxes. When you fill all the boxes up you get a prize!"

"Really? What's my prize?" Neal asked excitedly.

"I don't know…" Hanna said with a shrug of her shoulders. She didn't think about that. "Mommy and Daddy will take you to the toy store and let you get something." She was pretty sure they wouldn't mind doing that.

"Wow! Can I go potty right now?" Neal asked.

"Of course you can," Hanna said as she quickly helped him onto the toilet.

Neal did it! He went on the potty and was so excited to put a sticker on his chart. He put three more on by the time Snow and David came home and in just a few days he was completely potty trained. Hanna was pretty proud of herself, as were her parents, who were also very grateful that they no longer needed to buy diapers.
