A/N: Wrote this story when I was feeling similar to Emma in this story. It is one of my favorite one-shots :) so I thought I would share it! Enjoy!
That Time of the Month :)
Emma groaned at her desk and David looked over in concern.
"Emma, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Emma snapped back.
David frowned. Emma had been grumpy all morning and he had no clue why. She had been snapping at him for just about everything.
The phone rang and Emma answered. "Sheriff's office."
David looked up to watch Emma. Something was wrong, but she wouldn't admit to anything.
"What? No! Get your own dumb cat out of the tree!" Emma practically shouted at the poor person on the phone.
Emma slammed the phone down.
David looked at her in shock at how rude she was to who ever that was on the phone.
"What?" Emma asked in a softer tone that surprised David since she had just yelled a moment ago.
"Who was that?"
Emma face changed into a scowl. "Dumb old lady..." Emma grumbled.
David's eyes widened. "Emma, that's no way to talk to anyone especially an old lady who probably can't go get her cat." David scolded.
"It's a CAT it can come down by itself!" Emma yelled at him in a frustrated voice.
"Emma." David scolded. "You could have reassured her that it would come down on its own instead of yelling at her."
"I didn't want to talk to her." Emma grumbled in a tight voice as she crossed her arms.
"I don't care whether you wanted to talk to her or not, you don't speak to anyone that way. Now, I think you should go..." David started, but then realized as Emma scowled at him that would make things worse. "On second thought, I'll go over there and help the lady."
Emma rolled her eyes, which David saw, but ignored. He wasn't sure what was going on, but when he got back he was going to get to the bottom of it.
*****OUAT*****
When her Dad was gone, Emma had taken some Midol and some ibuprofen. She hadn't taken too much before, but now she thinks she took too much. She was still in pain, but she was starting to get sleepy plus she was hungry.
David walked into the station after apologizing for his daughter, getting the cat down, and then getting stuck talking to the lady for the next half an hour about random crap. It was a good thing he hadn't sent Emma...
"Emma?" David asked in a tone that if Emma was feeling better she would notice meant that she was in trouble.
"Daddy? Can you go get me some grilled cheese and onion rings?" Emma asked as she sat at her desk with her head resting on her hand.
David came into her office with a 'seriously' look and went around the desk to sit on the edge of it.
"Oh and some chocolate cake! Or a chocolate chip cookie! Oh and a hot chocolate with cinnamon!" Emma continued.
David squinted his eyes at Emma as he finally put the pieces together. "Emma." David sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Please Daddy?" Emma asked with a puppy dog look.
"Why don't you just come with me?" David asked curiously.
Emma face turned into a grumpy frown as she leaned back and crossed her arms. "I don't want to go anywhere." Emma grumbled.
"Why not?" David asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I just don't!"
"Is it that time of the month?" David asked with a smirk.
Emma blushed and looked down. "No." Emma mumbled.
"You are such a bad liar. Come on, let's go." David said with a smile as he stood up and took Emma's hand.
"I don't want to go anywhere." Emma whined.
"I'm taking you home. You shouldn't have even come today, you haven't done a thing." David said as he shook his head.
"I did too." Emma said as she got up.
"Starting the coffee machine doesn't count."
"I didn't even get to drink it. Dumb cramps." Emma mumbled.
David hid a smile at that and handed her coat to her, but she pushed it away.
"Too hot."
David nodded in understanding as he just held on to it for her.
He got her to the truck and stopped to get her food along with a piece of chocolate cake on the way. They got to the loft and David noticed Emma seemed very tired. "How much medicine did you take?"
"Not enough...it still hurts." Emma grumbled as she got out of the truck.
David shook his head before shutting the door that Emma had left open and then followed her in.
When they got in Emma went straight to the couch and sat down.
"Emma, why don't we eat at the table?"
Emma scowled at him. "I want to eat at the couch. Mom's not here to know."
David was about to protest, but then decided it would be best just to let it go.
"Just this once." David said as he brought the food over to the couch and sat down next to Emma. He gave her food to her and set her hot chocolate on the coffee table.
Halfway through eating their lunch, Emma turned to look at her Dad with a frown.
"What?" David asked with trepidation.
"Can you turn on the TV?"
David couldn't say no to her when she used that sad look. He turned on the TV and handed her the remote.
After eating, David was going to leave to go back to work.
"Daddy, can you stay with me?" Emma asked as she cuddled up to him on the couch, making it almost impossible for him to leave.
"Ok, I guess I can stay." David said softly before covering Emma up with a blanket.
"Thank you, Daddy." Emma whispered as she closed her eyes.
30 minutes later...
The door to the loft slammed shut and David jerked awake to see his wife.
"What are you two doing here?" Snow asked in a grumpy voice.
David looked down to see that Emma was still sound asleep and wondered how she still was after Snow came in slamming doors.
"Emma's on her period so I brought her home." David said softly.
Snow was now scowling at him and he had no clue why.
"What?" David asked.
"WHAT? That's all you say?" Snow yelled causing Emma to move a little so David covered her ear that wasn't closest to his chest. "I go to work ALL day long with annoying kids that can't shut up and I find my husband at home watching TV!"
"I actually was sleeping..." David started, but then realized that was a mistake.
"Seriously?! That makes it better?" Snow yelled.
That's when David got it...not only was his daughter on her period, but his wife as well...
"You know, maybe I will go back to work..." David said softly as he tried to move Emma off him, but that's when she woke up.
"Daddy, no. Stay." Emma pleaded in a grumpy voice.
David sighed at least she wasn't snapping at him every five seconds.
5 minutes later...
"David?" Snow asked in a soft voice.
All David could think was 'oh here we go again...'
"Yes, dear?" David called.
Hope you liked! :) REVIEW PLEASE! :)
