The next day Henry went into work with them. Emma gave him a tour of the office and introduced him to a few people. Ruby was the last person they saw.

"Who is this, Em?" She asked curiously.

"Um.. Ruby, this is Henry. Henry, this is Ruby one of my good friends." Emma smiled.

Henry nodded and offered his hand to shake. "Hi.."

Ruby shook his hand and nodded. "Hello, Henry. It's nice to meet you."

He smiled at her. "It's nice to meet you too Ruby.." He then looked up at Emma. "Mom, where's Killian?"

Ruby was surprised that he called her 'Mom'. Emma ran her fingers through his hair gently.

"I believe Killian is in talking to Liam." Ruby chimed in, eyeing Emma skeptically. "Why did he call you 'Mom'?" She asked.

"Oh, um.. Because he's my biological son.." Emma said softly, nervously tucking her hair behind her ear. "He was adopted by my mom's step-sister.. But he's here spending a few weeks with Killian and I for the summer."

Ruby nodded. "Well, I can see how he looks like you.." She smiled a little. "I won't keep you any longer, I'm sure you've got work to get done.. Go find that husband of yours." She teased.

Ruby was one of the biggest supporters of Emma and Killian's relationship. Emma nodded and they said bye to Ruby before going to Liam's office to find Killian. Henry knocked on the door, and they heard Liam tell them to come in.

Killian looked up from the paper he was reading and smiled at his wife. "Hello, Love. Henry."

"Hey, we just wanted to say hello to Liam, then we'll go.. I can meet you in your office to finish up that contract." Emma told Killian, as she stood next to him and played with his hair gently.

Killian nodded and Liam smiled, talking to Henry. "Liam is just trying to convince me that I should take my part of the company, and help him run it.." Killian told Emma.

"I mean.. I kind of agree with him." She said softly.

"You do, Love?" He asked softly. "I just.. I'm good at what I do, and I don't want to ruin the company."

Emma nodded. "Of course.. You work really hard, and while you're good at what you do, you should have the opportunity to do more. Your brother knows what he's doing, he's not going to let you fail."

"You should listen to your wife.. She's a smart lass. I'll still let you work with her some, but I want to teach you how to do more. You've got a family now, I want to give you more responsibility." Liam told his brother.

Killian sighed and nodded. "Alright, alright.. As long as I still get to do some of the same work.. I never needed the power or money, I just like working with the clients and making sure my wife is fair in the negotiations." He teased Emma.

She kissed the top of his head and grinned. "I'm so proud of you. Continue this conversation with him, and I'll take Henry to my office and I'll get to work."

Henry followed Emma to her office and sat down in one of her chairs. "So Liam owns this place?" He asked curiously.

"Yeah, he does.. And Killian does too technically. But Liam is the boss right now.." She shrugged. "Do you want some water or a snack, Kid? I've got to answer a few emails, but I promise I won't let you be bored all day."

"I'm good, Mom.. I know you've got work. I'm just glad I get to stay with you.. I brought my book, and my gameboy." He gave her a smile.

She smiled at him and did some work for a while. Henry was content with his book, and after a couple of hours Killian knocked on the door frame.

"Swan, Henry." He smiled.

Emma looked up. "Oh, hey, Babe.. How was your meeting with your brother?"

He came over and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "It wasn't bad, Love.. Thank you for believing in me." He said softly.

She pulled him down to give him a chaste kiss on the lips. "I'll always believe in you. You're my husband. And I'm always going to be on your side. No matter what." She gave him a small smile.

He smiled. "Can I take my wife, and um.. Our lad.. to lunch?"

Henry nodded when Emma looked at him. She smiled. "Yes, I believe you can, Jones. Can we go to that diner? I'm really craving a grilled cheese sandwich."

Killian chuckled and took her hand. "Aye, of course. I know how much you love that diner, Swan."

They followed Henry to the elevators. Killian was not sure who he was to Henry, but he did not mind if he only saw him as a friend, or even just his mom's husband. Killian just found himself lucky that Henry wanted to spend time with him and hang out with them.

They spent much of the rest of the week the same way. Henry would go to the office with them and read, play his game or talk to one of them, Ruby or Liam about the work they were doing. After work the three of them would have dinner together, and watch a movie or they would show Henry around the city.

On Saturday, Killian took the two of them out on the Jolly for the day. Killian was steering while Henry and Emma were sitting up front talking. He was so lost in his thoughts about what Emma would be like with a child of their own, that he didn't notice Emma move until he felt her arms wrap around his waist and hug him.

"Hi, Handsome." She ducked under his arm to settled against his chest.

"Hello, Lovely. Are you and the lad enjoying yourselves?" He pressed a kiss to the crown of her head.

She nodded. "Yeah.. But are you okay? You seemed really deep in thought." She said softly.

"Aye.. I was just thinking, Love.." He shrugged.

"What about, Killian?" She sighed.

"I.. I was thinking about what it would be like if.. If we had a child of our own." He admitted. "I love Henry, he's a great lad.. But at best I'm his friend, and.. I guess seeing how amazing of a mother you are I wonder what you'd be like with our baby.." He said softly. He was nervous to tell her the truth, he knew about her feelings towards children.

"Babe.." She frowned. "I know you want to have kids, and I know you'd be the best damn father a kid could ask for. I'm just not sure I'm what's best for a child.." She admitted softly.

"And I'll never push you to have kids with me. You, and even your boy, you're all I need." He said softly. "I just want to make you happy, and before we got together, I had accepted that I would never have kids. It's okay, I've got you and Henry."

She kissed his cheek. "You're amazing.. I promise we can talk more once Henry leaves, I know I said. I'd think about it, and I am.. I'm not writing it off."

He hugged her closer into his side and nodded. "I know, Love.. I love you so much." He shut the engine off and dropped the anchor when they were far enough out.

Emma squeezed his waist. "I'll go below deck and get our lunch."

Killian nodded and moved over to Henry. "Are you having a good time with us, Lad?"

Henry nodded. "Yeah, you guys are really cool. I like that I get to be with my mom.." He shrugged.

"She is a wonderful mother to you.. She loves you so much, Henry. She's really happy that you wanted to come spend some time with her." Killian told him.

"She's my mom, I love her too.." He said. "What about you? Um.. Are you happy I'm here?" He asked nervously.

Killian nodded. "Aye, Lad.. Of course. I'm so happy to have you. I understand that I'm probably just your mom's husband, but I want you to know I'm here for her just as much as she is."

Henry looked up at Killian. "I.. Um.. I know.. I don't think you're just Mom's husband. I like you, and I know you're good for my mom.. She's been completely different since she's been with you."

Killian chuckled a little. "You're too wise for your own good, Henry. Maybe we could be friends, lad?"

Henry smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that."

Emma smiled a little, watching the two of them talk. Killian felt her close and looked over his shoulder to smile at her. She set the sandwiches down in front of them and handed Henry a rootbeer.

They enjoyed their lunch and the next week flew by. Before they knew it they were flying to Storybrooke for the weekend to take Henry home. Killian squeezed Emma's hand gently as they watched Henry run to Regina. She gave him a small smile, she was going to miss her boy, and Killian understood that this was difficult for her.

Regina hugged Henry tightly, listening to all he had to talk about. She looked up at Emma and gave her a small smile. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, Henry." She told him.

They had gone to Emma's parents' house for dinner, and Regina came over to talk with Emma.

"Miss Swan.. Emma.. I know in the past I haven't been the easiest regarding Henry, but.. I apologize for that." She said softly.

Emma nodded. "Thank you.. I'm sorry for any trouble I've caused you as well. You're family, and you raised Henry better than I ever could have hoped.. He's an amazing kid, thank you for giving me, and Killina, a chance to get to know him."

"Of course, Emma. I know I might not have seemed like Killian's biggest fan at first, after everything that happened at Leo's birthday.. But I can tell that he has been good to you, and Henry seems to like him." Regina had been wary of Killian, but she couldn't deny that he was a good role model for her son.

"Killian loves Henry.. And he's an amazing guy, and even if he doesn't spend a lot of time with Henry, I think he's a good man for Henry to have to look up to if he needed it.." Emma shrugged.

Regina nodded. "You're a good parent too, Emma. I know you didn't raise him, but you've always taken care of him and made sure Henry knew you were there for him. Which is especially important now that he knows you're his biological mom. He is still my son, but I'm beginning to believe that having you, is good for him.."

She nodded. "Thank you." She said softly. "I um.. Can I ask you something? Since you know Henry better than anyone.."

"Yes, Emma. What do you want to know?"

"Well, this is a little personal.. But, I know Killian wants to have kids with me. Except, after what I went through with Henry's father, and giving him up.. I feel kind of guilty for thinking I might want to have a baby with Killian.. Is that bad?" She asked, nervously tucking her hair behind her ear.

Regina glanced over at where Henry was sitting and laughing with Killian before turning back to her niece. "Emma, it's not bad to feel guilty, but it's also not bad to want a family with your husband." She said softly. "Why are you feeling guilty though?"

"Because I had a son, and I gave him up. What if he hates me because I keep a baby I have with Killian, but I didn't keep him." She bit at her fingernails. "I want to make Killian happy, he deserves to have a baby that's his. To be a father.. But I don't want my son to hate me."

"Well, I think that Henry might be a little upset at first, but in the end I believe he'd be excited to have a sibling.. Even if you guys don't live here, you're still his mother. I can't take that away from you.. Henry is an amazing, wise, little boy, who has such a big heart. I think he gets that from you.." She admitted.

Emma nodded a little. "You don't think he'll hate me? That if I tried to have a child with Killian, Henry would understand? Because when I found out about Leo, I.. I wasn't the happiest, I was mad that my parents had another kid and kept him but not me.." She knew she needed to discuss her feelings with Killian, but she had to talk them out with someone else before she could face Killian.

"As long as you're honest with him, Emma, he'll understand. Don't let that keep you from being happy with Killian. From making a family with a man who loves you. Trust me when I say that your parents wanted to keep you.. Your mother's step mom, she.. Your parents weren't married and she wasn't the biggest fan of her. She wanted her to terminate her pregnancy, but Mary wouldn't.. So she was forced to give you up.." She explained softly.

Emma nodded a little and sighed. "I.. I've heard about Cora.. It's a bit confusing for me, but I have come to understand that they love me as much as Leo, it's just really hard sometimes."

"But have you forgiven Mary Margaret and David, Emma?" Regina asked softly.

She nodded. "Yes, I have.. They've done enough for me in the last ten years than I ever thought someone would do for me. And I love Leo, we've become closer lately.."

"Then you know Henry will one day understand, even if he doesn't at first. If I'm honest, I know he would love to have a sibling." Regina assured her.

She hugged Regina. "Thank you.. I know our family has a lot of issues, but I'm glad we're getting through it. For Henry's sake."

"Of course, I just want him to be happy, and he wouldn't be if I tried to keep him from you." Regina hugged Emma back and then went to speak with Mary Margaret.

Emma moved to her husband and played with the hair on the back of his neck. He looked up at her and smiled softly. "Hello, Love.. Did you have a good talk with Regina?"

"Yeah, we just talked about Henry.." She shrugged. "It was good. Something we needed to do."

He nodded and pulled her into his lap as they talked with her family. She leaned into him, thinking about what Regina told her. She was beginning to see that she was holding herself, and Killian, back from something that would make them both happy.
