One Big Happy Family?

Another Merry Christmas

With Christmas only a few days away, our lovable family didn't have much time after their championship over at Family Feud to decorate and shop. Thankfully the mayor is a perfectionist and was able to boss everyone around and finally get it done in time.

In the midst of preparing for the holiday, Regina didn't forget her promise that her and Emma made to Henry while they were 'vacationing'. Christmas eve everyone was sitting around the fire, drinking hot chocolate and watching The Grinch.

Once it reached a commercial break, Regina cleared her throat and sat up, "Henry?"

The young teen was lying on his stomach on the floor when he looked back at his mother, a brow quirked, "Yeah mom?"

She looked at Emma and nodded, "It's time for Emma and I to make good on our word..."

It took a secod for Henry to realize that he was up shit creek and there was no way to get out of it.

"Can't we-"

A firm hand rose from his mother, signaling him to stop talking.

Any attempt to get out of this will obviously fail.

"Now do us both a favor, sit up and close your eyes."

Though he wasn't sure what kind of punishment this was, he did as he was instructed.

Regina and Emma held out a hand each and as magic poured from the both of them, it began to encircle Henry.

He unintentionally giggled from the tingling sensation he felt from their magic and when it stopped, he opened his eyes to see all of his family staring at him with their mouths agape.

"What?" He asked but his eyes quickly widened when he heard his voice, it definitely didn't sound the same.

He held his hand up to point at his mother but when he saw how small it was, he had a general idea of what happened.

Snow squealed so loud it snapped everyone from their daze. "He looks so cute!"

Regina had a satisfying smirk on her face as she studied the features of her son who was now four years old.

Emma was awe-struck.

"So this is what it would've been like to raise Henry..." she mentioned quietly, earning a shoulder squeeze from Neal who was equally amazed.

Cora on the other hand was the first one to grab her grandson, "Come here you little cutie!"

Henry's first reaction was to try and run but the old woman was too quick.

"He looks so much like you, Bae." Rumple mentioned as he looked lovingly between his son and grandson.

"Will he remember anything?" Belle asked, directing her eyes and question to Regina.

"His memory is that of when he was four years old with me, all those years ago. Except for the sake of avoiding numerous tantrums, I placed memories of you all into his mind as well. So he knows who you are." The former Queen responded, watching her mother interact sweetly with Henry.

Cora used magic to poof up a sippy cup full of apple juice for Henry. "Apple juice munchkin?"

She asked, holding the cup up in front of Henry.

"Yes, please Grandma." Henry answered politely, initiating a unanimous "Aww" from every adult in the room.

"Such politeness. My, my, we have a little gentleman on our hands." Charming stated proudly, only for Hook to laugh out, "He's going to make a perfect first mate!"
