I know this is super late, but these have been sitting in a folder for like a year now.

This is based off the episode "Lady of the Lake" from season 2 where Snow tells Emma about all the things she was going to do with Emma in that nursery.

Snow woke up on a mission. Today was the day that Emma was going to take her first steps. She couldn't explain it, but she just had the feeling. Walking passed Charming on the way to Emma's nursery, she grinned at him.

"What's with the smile?"

"Oh, you know, it's just going to be a good day. Emma is going to walk today!" Charming rolled his eyes sweetly. "No I mean it, I just have this feeling."

"Well you are going to have to wait. I just came from her room and she is still asleep."

Snow frowned, but her smile quickly returned. "I don't mind waiting."

Walking into the circular room, Snow moved to Emma's crib. Fast asleep clenching the blanket with her fists was a little blonde haired baby girl. Snow just stared down holding back the urge to run a finger through her daughter's hair.

'I said I would wait and that's just want I'm going to do.' Nodding to herself, Snow looked around the room to find something to do. Her eyes stopped on Emma's toys which were already back in their proper places. Shrugging, she quietly walked over to the shelves and started to rearrange them. Snow wasn't at it for long when she heard stirring from the crib.

Looking down, her eyes were met with a pair of hazel eyes.

"Good morning Emma. Shall we?" Snow bent down, took her daughter into her arms and walked over to the wardrobe. Opening the door with her free hand, Snow and Emma looked in. There was an array of colors and designs; about a dozen different types of dresses and more than enough preset outfits to choose from.

Snow chose something simple which looked out of place against her flowing purple gown, but she wasn't worried about dressing Emma for anyone but her this morning. In a flash Emma was changed, feed, and ready to go.

The little blonde can easily crawl about her nursery, but Snow still had a moment of panic when she placed Emma on the flood and moved to the other side of the room. She was worried that the baby will hurt herself, but Granny told her this was the best way for her to learn.

"Emma, come on. Come to mommy." Emma was just sitting on the floor glazing around. "Emma, honey, come here." This time Emma looked at her mother.

Snow smiled happily. This is it, she got her attention and, with her daughter, that was half of the battle. Emma started to move and after a few seconds of struggle, she was standing on her own.

"That's it Emma! Come on, you can do it." Snow was saying through a grin.

After about two steps, the blonde lost her footing and crashed to the floor. Snow gasped, but stopped herself from moving toward her daughter. Emma may be fine and she wouldn't be doing her a favor by going over there and coddling her.

But then Emma's little face changed from confusion to a puppy dog. In a second, she was crying her eyes out and Snow got off the floor rushing over to her baby. She took Emma into her arms and bounced her as she walked around the nursery.

"It's okay Emma. You're fine. We can try again another time." Snow smiled at her daughter's tear stained face. Emma was still balling, so Snow went to the sure fired way to calm her down. She tickled her stomach and as quickly as it came, the sound of her crying was replaced with laughter.

"That's my girl."
