Henry ran to the door to open it. When he saw his dad his jaw dropped and he ran into his arms to hug him. They hold on to each other for a few minutes. Emma stood in the doorway and looked at them with a big smile. She knew how much Henry liked his dad and seeing the two of them together did something with her. Killian hugged her from behind which gave her the chills. 'Why don't you guys come in?' he asked a bit forced. Emma smiled. He just told her how difficult this is to him, but she loved the fact that he was trying so hard.

Neal looked up to Killian and grinned. 'Let's go kid. Our step dad wants us to go inside'. For a moment Henry looked confused, but then he had a nasty look in his eyes. He stared to Killian in a way he never did before. It made Killian feel like an outsider. It was the same feeling he had during all those lonely years. He turned around and went back inside. Emma looked after him, but decided to let him go.

Neal tickled Henry, which made him laugh again. 'Come on kid, show me your video games!'. Henry jumped up and ran inside. Neal looked up to Emma. 'Thanks for letting me come by, it really means a lot to me'. Emma smiled. 'Henry is also your son. He loves to spend time with you and I'm happy when he is.'

They walked in together and joined Henry in the living room. Henry put on a race game and handed the controllers over to Emma and Neal. Neal had a very good start, but lost his first place to Emma before he could finish. Emma grinned. 'I was always the better driver!' she yelled. Neal laughed at her. 'You wish! I want a rematch!'. They did a couple of rematches and Emma really enjoyed the three of them together. She noticed how happy Henry was and she realized it was a long time ago when she saw him this way.

'I'm going to win this one!' Henry screamed excited. 'No way kid, I've got this one!' Neal screamed back. Emma laughed hard when she finished first. 'I guess this one was mine!' she stuck out her tongue to both of the guys. Killian was still in their bedroom. He heard the screaming and laughing from downstairs. It made him feel angry and jealous. It was a long time ago when he had so much fun with Emma and Henry. This guy just poofed back into their lives and it's like he was never gone in the first place.

Emma didn't follow him when he walked away and that's what dissapointed him most. She knew how hard this was. He layed down on their bed and stared at the ceiling. After a few minutes he shook his head. What was he doing? Laying down and being sad while his wife had fun with someone else. He wanted to punch himself in the face.

He stood up and went into the bathroom to splash some cold water on his face. Killian looked into the mirror, fixed his hair and went downstairs. He heard the laughter from the living room. As curious as he was he hurried himself to the living room. He wanted to show Emma that he really wants to try. He entered the living room and was really astonished by what he saw there...
