A/N: This fic is a gift for emmacharming2, just a oneshot... I think that's it

Snow looked around her at everything. She wasn't sure about this, but Emma had promised she could handle it. And it was a lovely little place that she was excited to stay in. David got all the bags into the car and came back in. "Alright, it's time for us to go."

Snow looked over at Emma. "Are you sure you've got this?"

"Yes, Mom! Go! Enjoy your trip!"

Snow sighed and handed Neal over. "You're sure?"

"Go!"

Snow sighed. "Fine. I love you, sweetie."

"Love you too mom."

Snow gave Emma one last hug and handed her the baby. "Take good care of him."

"I will Mom. Now go!"

Snow smiled and went to the car.

David hugged Emma too. "Love you princess."

"Love you dad."

They drove off, and Emma smiled at her baby brother. "Be good for your big sis, ok Neal?"

Neal cooed in response. Emma smiled. Her parents were staying at a place in the woods for the weekend, and Henry was with Regina, so it was just her and Neal. She smiled and put him in his cradle. This was gonna be fun.


Emma put Neal in his stroller and they went for a walk. Something felt off, but Emma decided not to dwell on it. Before Emma knew it, a cloud of mustard yellow smoke appeared in front of her and there was a woman there. "Hi...", Emma said. The woman reached into the stroller and took Neal.

"Hey what are you doing?!", she asked.

"I need this child."

"For what?"

"The number of spells involving baby parts would surprise you."

"No!", Emma yelled. "You can't have him! Not my little brother!"

She grinned. "Too late." She started to glow and a strange light started to surround Neal.

"NO!, Emma yelled. She dove right at the woman and knocked her to the ground, pulling Neal out of her grip.

"I'm not done", the woman said. She raised her hand and shot a bolt of magic at Neal.

"No!" Emma thought as hard as she could, and imagined a shield between Neal and the spell. A strange glow came out of her, and the spell stopped. Emma sighed in relief. Then she imagined the woman being teleported into the town jail, and she disappeared.

Neal just giggled, and Emma pulled him to her chest. "It's okay. You're okay, Neal. I won't let anything bad happen to you. Cause that's what big sisters are for."


Snow and David rushed into the house, locking the car behind them.

"Emma! How was it?", David asked.

"Fine", Emma replied, smiling.

"Neal didn't cause too much trouble?", Snow asked.

"Neal was great", Emma said.

"Good", Snow replied, smiling. She and David went upstairs to unpack, and Emma smiled to herself. There was no need to worry them with what had happened, no need for them to know; that was between her and her little brother.
