It was a week after the curse broke everything was finally settling down. There were no soul suckers and no one needed to be arrested..yet that is. in this little town you never know. Snow and David had just woken up to henry running around her semi room. "wake up guys! Look the towns gone a week without terror!" As he said that he ran up the stairs to go wake up emma. "Do you think we're ever going to get a goodnight sleep with this kid around David?" She giggled as she looked at him. "Honestly I think it's karma for when we missed out on Emma's childhood" they both laughed and ended getting out of bed and walking to the kitchen together.
Meanwhile emma was practically being dragged down the steps from henry. Emma looked up as if she had been fighting crime all week; which she was considering she and her mom had just come back from their homeland. "So what are we going to do today?" Snow asked as she looked at everyone. "Well um I kinda have to work at the sheriffs today so it will just be you David and the kid" "oh I thought that since we were all back that we could spend some time together you know as a family..." Henry and David had looked at each other and had the same look that they shouldn't interrupt. "Yea I thought so too but apparently leeroy would rather have me escort him home from passing out in the middle of town. Sorry guys I wish I could. " although snow knew emma had work to do she still wanted her daughter to be there with them as a family. "You two can still bond with henry! I won't stop you from that!" She looked at henry "what ever you want kid tell them... Well I got to but you stay on your best behavior kid! And if he's any trouble well just be grandparents I guess" she grabbed her coat and walked out the door "bye guys have fun!" She closed the door behind her. You could hear her walking down the stairs.
David had looked at snow then to henry "so henry what does the grandson of a prince want to do today?" His eyes went wide with excitement he looked like a kid in a candy shop. "We can go horse back riding we can...we..we can sword fighting and we can even try to figure out who everyone's fairytale character is!" "Well that sound like fun manly stuff for you two to do..." There was an awkward silence. When suddenly David broke the silence, "yea henry what about snow what if we do something we all want to do?" "Oh ok..well umm grandma what do you want to do?" She was about to cry because she realized he had just called her grandma for the first time and she could tell there was some disappointment in his voice. She wanted him to have the best day with his grandfather. "No its fine you guys go have fun sword fighting! I'll stay here and maybe have my own little spa day." "Snow are you sure we can do what ever you want it's a family day..." "NOOO no no no you guys go bond I need a little time to myself. Henry don't be to rough with your grandpa and make sure your both safe!" She had helped henry get himself ready while David was getting all the swords and supplies ready. "Ok well we'll be back around 2:30 or 3 o'clock. Yes I'll make sure he's back here safe and sound." David had given her that charming wink she had fallen in love with."ok be careful!" She called to them as they practically ran down the stairs. She walked back into the apartment thinking to herself 'what am I going to do all day by myself?maybe ill take a nap...'
An hour later...
She woke up with the urge of hunger. She had gotten up and went to the kitchen and made herself a bowl of cereal. After that she decided to go to the pool and work on a tan. The pool had belonged to the apartment building but no one ever really used them. About 20 minutes after she finished eating she was already dressed and ready for the tan. When she reached the pool she was relieved to find no one at the pool, so she put all of her stuff on a table under an umbrella and just laid in one of the chairs to work on her tan. 1 hour later she heard the gate open at first she didn't care but the urge was getting stronger and stronger to find out who it was. By the time she looked up David was at her feet. All ready to just jump into the pool. "What are you doing here? I thought you were with...WAIT?! Where's henry?! What happened!?" Thousands of questions filled her mind. "Hey..hey..hey it's ok! Emma called and said she had some free time so she decided to take henry out for some lunch." "Oh...oh ... Ok" her breathing had returned to normal. "How did you know I was here?" "I saw the bottle of sun tan lotion on the kitchen counter and I figured that since we don't really have time for the beach that maybe you went to the pool. And so I showed up here and found you. Now how about we go for a swim?" He grabs her and pulls her close to him. "Well if I came here to swim I would have...but ok" she laughed, they both got up and agreed to jump in together. "On the count of three...1...2..." As soon as they both said three they jumped in the water. Both of them came up for some air and started laughing. He noticed she started to shiver, because it wasn't a heated pool and she was just tanning, so he got closer to her asking "you ok? Do you want to get out? We can if your cold it's totally fine if we get out now." "No I want to swim!" as she's still shivering, he pulled her close to him "you know I missed being with you! Seeing your beautiful face every morning when I wake up. Making you breakfast and running the kingdom with you." She wrapped her legs around his waste then wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yea I missed you too! Waking up to your stubble and your sweet smile, and the way you cooked most of the time you could never make a grilled sandwich. You always seemed to burn them." They both laughed almost like they agreed with each other. He then made his move and kissed her and not like one of those first date kisses but one of those passionate ones like the ones married couples have. To them it was more than that! It was a kiss that they haven't had since their wedding day, it was a kiss that showed they missed each other through those 28 painful years. There was a tear falling down her check as she pulled away. "I've missed you so much! Now maybe we should head back upstairs. I've been out here for about two hours now. I'm going to end up like a shriveled up prune!"
They got out of the pool and dried up. On their way upstairs they had held hands the whole time never letting go. Snow jumped in the shower first, and David thought well why not so he tried to make a grilled sandwich for her so she could have something to eat when she's done. Snow had just finished her shower when she smelt smoke. Even thought she was dressed in a towel she ran out of the door looking worried. "What happened are you ok?" Looking frantic. "Everything's fine I just burnt the edges but I can just cut those of. You know I'm getting better at not burning the sandwiches! The key is not to get distracted when your cooking them!" Snow was looking at him with relief yet with that look when someone is like well duh I could of told you that! He looked up at her and stopped, her hair was sopping wet and she had her towel wrapped around her. "Well if I knew we could dress like that around here I would have a while ago!" He winked at her. "Oh stop i was just worried I thought you were burning down the building! And you know what I wouldn't mind that but I don't know about emma and henry, they would probably be weirded out about that." They both started to laugh as she ran back into the bathroom he followed her in there. "Well looks like it my turn to shower" he kissed her and started to get ready for the shower, as she was still getting dressed. "Well hurry up emma and henry could be home any time now!" She walked outside into the kitchen to eat her sandwich. Shortly after she turned around to find David opening the door only in a towel. She could see the steam coming out of the room flowing across the floor. He stood there posing if he wanted her to just run over there and fangirl over him like he was a model. She just laughed and pushed him back into the bathroom and said "we can't do this emma and henry could be here any second!" So she closed the door as she walked out to the kitchen. After about 5 minutes he walked out fully clothed walking up to her and kissing her. She was startled, she wasn't expecting it at all. She knew emma could walk through that door any minute now or worse her grandson/student could walk thought the door, but she didn't care. All she cared about was that she was finally with her Prince Charming. She jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist never breaking the kiss. He walked over to her bedroom and laid her down, laying next to her they both fell asleep.
About half an hour later emma put the key in the lock and opened the door she knew her mother was home with David so she slowly opened the door as henry just ran strait upstairs to clean up from a long day. Emma was inspecting the apartment when she turned and saw her parents sleeping there in their bed. 'They are so cute together just curled up as if they were one' she thought. When suddenly snow started to wake up, she looked up at emma as emma quickly turned away. Snow got up leaving David to sleep, she walked over to emma. "So how was your day emma did henry have fun?" "It was good just tried as much as I could to get Leeroy back home before I called David to come drop henry off." Umm you do know you can call David your father you don't have to call him david anymore? He is your father...""yea well I just need to get used to having a family I'm...I'm just not..used to this. I just need some time..." There was a long silence followed by henry running down the steps waking up David. "So grandma want to know what I did today?!" "Sure why don t you tell me about your spectacular day henry?" Snow said holing back tears in the fact that he just called her grandma again.
