Okay, so this is my first shot at writing a Red Snowing story. Set as though they were an established relationship in the Enchanted Forest. It's going to be mostly a story about their family, though. I'm setting this as though the curse was set by a different villain. It's going to work like a one shot series, taking place at different times and I will take requests. It is an Emma deaging fic too. You can thank loboselina for this fic because she introduced me to this OT3 and I love it.


There was an overwhelming feeling going over Snow as she reunited with David. As they broke apart from the kiss, they could hear a voice come from behind them.

"Snow? David?" They turned around and found Ruby standing there. They let out a deep breath, pulling her into a tight hug. They had been separated for far too long. Snow's lips connected with Ruby's, before David did the same. "Is it really broken?"

"I think so," David gripped both of their hands. "What do we do now?"

"Now, now we find our daughter."

The three smiled at each other. This whole time, their daughter had been so close to them, right under their noses. She was so grown up, they had so much time to make up for. They started to head for the hospital, knowing she had been there with Henry. Suddenly, someone came across her path. Regina was looking quite frazzled, her hair a mess. Snow hadn't seen her since Henry was admitted to the hospital. The curse must have broken for her because she was going crazy looking for Zelena, though no one understood why.

"We haven't seen Zelena, not in a while," Snow told her.

"That's not it. Something…something's happened," she replied, looking from one of them to another. "With Emma."

David's eyes widened. "What? Did Zelena get to her?""

"No…just…come with me."

She lead them to the mayor's office where she had managed to take Henry and Emma quickly after the curse was broken. Snow, David and Ruby stopped in their tracks as they came across the chair in front of Regina's desk. A little girl sat there with long blonde curls and big green eyes. She was wearing a yellow t-shirt along with some overalls. Even though to them she didn't look older than 3, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out just who that was.

"Emma," Snow breathed. "How?"

"I don't know. She kissed Henry's forehead in her adult form, but as soon as the rainbow ripple went over the room, she was like this. The only thing I can think of is now that the curse has been broken, things are being restored to how they should be."

"Shouldn't she be a baby then?"

"She says she's 3, if that helps any."

Ruby thought about it for a minute. "She once told me that she had a family for a little bit, before she entered the foster system. She was 3 when that happened."

"It could be fate's way of giving her a second chance at a happy start."

David gnawed on his lip. "Does she remember anything? From before?"

Regina shook her head. "All she told me was that her foster mommy and daddy gave her away. I think the past 25 years have been completely erased."

"And Henry…"

"He's still at the hospital, they just wanted to make sure that he's okay after he was poisoned." She checked her watch. "I hate to leave you three alone, but…"

Snow held up a hand. "It's okay, go be with Henry. Everything's going to be okay here."

Regina nodded and walked out of the office. Ruby, Snow and David exchanged a look. They weren't quite sure how to handle this. The original plan was for the three of them to raise Emma together. A part of them were overjoyed to have this second chance, but they also were aware of the price it came at. Emma would never know of the other life she lead. While it was full of pain, there had been good. They would just have to figure it out one moment at a time.

Slowly, the three walked over to her. Emma looked up at them, curling back a bit.

"Emma, sweetheart," Snow whispered softly. "My name is Snow. This is Ruby and David. We're…we're your parents."

"New mommies and daddy?" Emma asked, her voice coming out softly.

"No, sweetheart. We were always meant to be your mommies and daddy."

A frown went across the toddler's face. "Gave me away."

"Oh no, princess." David knelt in front of her. "We didn't want to, but we had to. We wanted to look for you, but we couldn't."

"We love you so much," Ruby told her. "So, so much. We want you to come home with us."

Emma still looked hesitant. She had just spent 3 years with a family that swore to love her. Then when they had a new baby, she was sent away. Yet, she wanted to trust these people. Last time, she only had one mommy and one daddy. Here she would have a daddy and two mommies.

"Two mommies?" She asked.

Ruby smiled. "Yeah, you'll have two mommies. Is that okay?"

Emma looked at each of them again and then hesitantly held her arms up to David. He smiled and pulled her up into them, holding her close. Snow and Ruby each kissed the top of her head. There was a lot to figure out, but all that mattered now was that they had their baby girl back.

The next few days were spent trying to get everything settled. They ordered a larger bed for the three of them (no way all could fit onto the small bed "Mary Margaret" had been cursed with). They got a smaller toddler bed for Emma along with new clothes and toys. She was warming up to them little by little. They weren't "Mommy", "Mama" and "Daddy" yet, but they'd get there.

One day at a time.


I'll go into those first few days as a family more later. This is just more of an introduction to the family dynamic. As I said, prompts are requested!
