Horse riding.

Emma looked up from her phone to see her son smiling at her.

She groaned. "What do you want?"

"Well, Gramps is going to teach me how to ride my horse tomorrow, he thinks I and my horse are ready."

"Okay. Have fun."

"But here is the thing."

Emma sighed. "I knew there was something."

Henry smiled apologetic. "Gramps told me something the other day, when we were cleaning the stables."

Emma nodded looking at him doubtfully.

"He said he really missed that he couldn't teach you how to ride."

"No, Henry, I don't want to ride horses. I like my bug, that is all I need."

"But Mom!"

"Henry!"

"Seriously Mom! It would make him so happy! He just wants to teach you something."

"I don't even like horses!"

"You could learn to! I want you to come tomorrow."

"I don't know Henry..."

"It's Saturday anyway! And I kinda told Gramps.." He stopped talking.

"Told Gramps what?"

"I told him would get you to agree to ride with us."

"Henry! Seriously!"

"Come on! Grams is coming with Neal to let him get used to horses."

"He is just starting to walk, she'll let him wander around in the stables?"

Henry shrugs. "Apparently, but please Mom, come with us! It'll be fun."

"Okay, fine, I'll come. But I don't have to like it."

Henry smiles and hugs his mom. "Thanks ."

"She agreed?!" David exclaimed.

"Yeah she did." Henry acted cool, "Told you I could get her to come."

"How di..."

Emma walked down the stairs, not all too happy.

"He told me you missed out on teaching me how to ride."

David blushed a bit. "He told you?"

Snow came from their bedroom with Neal on her hip.

"You're coming too?! Oh how fun!" She placed Neal down who walked over to Emma, proudly showing off how his walking is going. Emma picked him up.

"You're getting the hang of walking, aren't ya?" She kissed his chubby cheek.

Neal babbled baby gibberish.

"Yes Henry told me, and I thought I'd give you this one." Emma answered her father question.

"Thank you." Davids eyes lit up. "Hear that Snow, we get to teach Emma how to ride a horse."

Snow smiled. "Wonderful."

"Let's get going!" Henry smiled, holding all his stuff.

"Okay!" Emma smiled at her son. "Uh, but I don't have a helmet like that." She pointed at Henry's cap.

"There are some at the stables." David told her, getting his stuff.

Snow had her diaper bag ready and a stroller for if Neal would get tired.

"Em! Em!" Neal babbled happy to be held by his sister, he rest his head against Emma's.

"Stop being cute you two." Snow smiled.

Emma blushed a bit, but pressed a kiss to Neal's temple. "Act cute." She whispered. "We're killing mom with cuteness."

Neal smiled brightly showing off the new teeth he was getting.

Snow pinched his cheek softly on her way out, everyone got in Snow's car and went to the stables.

Emma scrunched her nose when she got out of the car. "Oh god, it stinks here."

"You'll get used to it." Henry grinned, knowing he shouldn't run in the stable, but walked with great speed towards his noble steed. "Look mom! Doesn't he look great!"

The group walked up to him. "Yeah.." Emma answered unsure. "Great."

Snow laughed. "He looks amazing Henry, you've been taking good care of him." She had Neal in her arms and slowly walked up to the horse.

"Look Neal, horsey." She grinned at the reaction her son had.

Neal stared at the horse. He leaned closer to his mom and pointed at the horse. "Hihihi." He said.

"Yes! Good job baby. The horse says hihihi." Snow kissed his cheek. Neal smiled greatly and held his hand out to get closer to the horse.

"Great. Even my baby brother likes horses." Emma moaned.

"You're not scared, right?" David asked slightly worried.

Emma whipped her head around, thinking her father was making fun of her. But seeing his face she saw the worry. "No." She softly said. "I've never been close to horses. In the cities you don't see them much. Foster homes never took me to see them. I just... I'm not used to them."

Snow smiled sadly hiding her face behind her son, hoping no one would see it.

"Well. Get used to them. Because you're about to groom and ride one." David grinned.

"Ah oh..." Emma winced.
