Emma curled up on the lumpy couch in her parent's loft sobbing quietly as her whole body shakes from the tsunami of tears the has consumed her for the past hour and a half. Henry has just gone up for bed and her parents were out taking care of things for the funeral tomorrow for Neal.
So the blonde sat there crying her eyes out as another man she loved died just as she started to think that she might get her happy ending after all this time. but apparently, her happy ending is happening any time soon. First Graham and now Neal.
she continued to cry for another ten minutes before she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her engulfing her in that strong unique scent that only her father has.
Charming saw Emma crying as soon as he walked in carrying some dinner for his princess. he quickly (but quietly) set the container on the ground near the door and walked over to the couch to hold his little girl.
After a minute of rubbing Emma's back, David didn't see the tears stopping any time soon. He sneaked his arm under his daughter's knees and lifted her into his arms setting her on his lap. In this position, the father was able to hold his princess better and whisper a few comforting words.
"Shhh, it's okay" he started. Emma seemed to finally hear what David is saying as she snuggled closer to David.
feeling a soft kiss on the side of her head, Emma took a deep breath and held onto her father's shirt.
"Daddy…" she cried.
"It's okay. let it out." He cooed.
"E-every man that has ever loved me has d-died in my arms"
David was silent for a moment before holding Emma a little tighter than before.
"I'm still here, baby" he said as he kissed her forehead.
