No, it isn't the same as having Henry, but in a way, it's better. The question is whether she can explain it without it making him think she's trying to protect him from her feelings or something.
She nods, which rubs her cheek against his, and then she turns just enough to brush her lips against his jaw. Did she ever not want to be touching him like this? She can barely remember.
"If I have to be stuck somewhere with just one of you, I'm glad it's you. Henry's safe with my parents and Regina. He knows I love him and that we'll find each other. But if I wasn't with you..." Emma frowns and lifts her hand to curl behind her and stroke his hair for a moment. "Then you'd be alone, too."
