HI GUYS!
This is my new Fanfiction story. I'm doing this for Irish Lass' Challenge.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Blue. Dazzling, piercing blue.
That's all Charming could think of as he looked into the eyes of the newborn baby he was holding in his arms. He held her gently, as if she was a fragile ornament, but tightly enough, that anyone could tell how important she was to him.
She looked just like her mother.
Smiling shakily, he turned back to his wife.
"She's beautiful"
Snow was tired, but still managed a wide smile.
" Well, she's got your genes Mr Prince Charming"
"Thank you for implying that I am beautiful, but she looks more like you. She has your eyes. " Charming smirked back at her.
Snow replied snarkily.
"Let's hope she doesn't grow up arrogant and pompous like her father"
That shut him up.
The couple spent several minutes peacefully looking down at their baby, until Charming finally spoke.
"What shall we call her?"
"I was thinking we could name her Rose after Briar"
Charming didn't answer. He was looking at the little girl's eyes again. They were just so…blue.
"Azura" he whispered.
"What?"
"Azura can be her first name and Rose can be her middle name"
Snow thought for a moment and smiled happily.
"Azura Rose Charming it is, then"
They both looked down at their daughter thoughtfully.
"I want our child to be a brave warrior, who can fight for herself," Snow told her husband.
"I want her to be a beautiful, smart and strong woman; just like you" he replied with a smile.
Snow blushed as Charming kissed her cheek.
"Is she, is she really mine?" He asked her incredulously.
Snow laughed.
"No Charming, she's ours"
…
"No, no, no, no, no! What is this? I am way more handsome than that cartoon man!"
Snow suppressed her laughter, and tried to restrain her husband from knocking down their TV, which was playing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She switched off the TV and returned to brushing her daughter's silky black hair.
"Sorry sweetie, but your father really doesn't like Disney movies with him in it"
"It's okay, Dadda!" the little girl exclaimed sweetly.
"What do you want to do then? We could read a story, or-"
"Sing! Sing! Like in Snow White!"
Snow smirked at her husband mischievously.
"Sweetie, Mummy has a sore throat so we'll get Daddy to sing, okay?"
"Okay! Sing Dadda, sing!"
Charming looked nervously at their daughter, before glaring at his wife.
"I'm not sure Azura. My throat is feeling very sore too-"
"Sing, sing, sing, sing!" the little girl started up a chant, which was quickly joined by her mother.
Charming signed. His daughter's toddler tantrum phase was really starting to wear him out.
"Okay, what should I sing?"
"Sing sleep song!"
The prince cleared his throat and began to croakily sing the Traditional lullaby, by Brahms. He hit all the wrong notes, and was off-pitch half the time.
When he finished the song, he proudly turned to look at his wife and little daughter.
There was a terribly awkward silence.
"What? It's been a long time since I last sang and I've never taken any singing lessons!" Charming burst out indignantly.
Snow was busy muffling her laughter with her hands, but Azura started giggling outright.
"Dadda is a bad singer!" she cried out, between her giggles.
When Snow joined her daughter's laughter, Charming huffed and exclaimed angrily.
"I'm not that bad!"
…
"Daddy, daddy! You're back!"
The little five-year old ran as fast as her little legs could carry her and crashed right into her father's legs.
Snow came running down the stairs after her hurriedly.
"Snow, you know you aren't supposed to run and exert yourself in your condition!"
"I know, I know!" she told her husband as she stroked her swollen belly, where Azura's little brother was growing.
"You should rest!" he called after his wife as she disappeared back up the staircase.
Charming turned to his daughter.
"Up,up" she requested, indicating for her father to pick her up.
He dropped his briefcase and lifted her up to his level.
Giggling, she reached up and took a fistful of Charming's carefully gelled hair, and started twisting it up.
"No, no, no! I just styled it this morning!" he cried out frettingly.
The prince gently put his daughter down and quickly turned to the mirror in the hallway, and began fixing his messed-up hair.
"Daddy, look"
He looked to her, slightly impatient.
Proudly, the little girl brought out a bundle of squashed dirty flowers she'd picked in a nearby garden.
"Look, I picked these for you!"
Charming kneeled down and gingerly took them from her. Soon after, he dropped the bundle with a gasp.
The flowers were…sticky.
"Don't you like them? I put some of your gooey hair stuff onto it to make it stick together"
He didn't have the heart to hurt his daughter's feelings so he leaned down and smiled at her.
"I love them Azura! Thank you very much"
She beamed up at him and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"You're welcome! I love you, daddy"
Charming felt a warm glow in his chest and smiled affectionately at his daughter.
With a rare gentleness, he brushed her hair off her forehead and hugged her back.
"I love you too, sweetheart"
There you go. That's the first chapter. Charming was a little OCC, but overall, it was really fun to write and I thought it went well.
Review, Review, Review!
