Chapter 1

"Snow I don't think our daughter likes me," Charming rolled back into their bed handing off his baby girl to his wife.

Snow giggled a bit, earning a look from her husband, "Emma loves you Charming". She tried to keep a straight face but this was not the first time that they've had this conversation and it always ends the same way.

"Well she likes you more than she likes me." He sighed and sunk down into the covers.

"My love, what would make you think that?" Snow gave a funny face to her daughter who smiled.

"She always reaches for you, or when I go and get her she won't stop crying until I hand her to you and then she's fine." He was now whining.

"Did you ever stop to think for a moment why she is attached to me?" She raised her eyebrow as her husband shook his head. "I feed her. Without me she doesn't eat, so yes she tends to choose me over you a little more."

"I would feed her," he shrugged.

"Charming, as lovely as you are, as you keep on reminding me when she wakes up in the middle of the night, you can't feed her. So deal with it." She turned her attention back to her little baby girl in her arms. "You're daddy's a little whiny isn't he? Hmm, Emma?" She laughed as her daughter smiled. "She agrees with me."

Charming rolled his eyes and sighed. He knew Snow and Emma would gang up on him, but he didn't know it would start this early. "But we still love daddy don't we, Em?"

It was as if Emma knew what they were speaking of because she reached out for her father who took no time to scoop her up in his arms.

"Whatever my princess wants, my princess will have." He kissed her cheek as Emma let out a little gurgle. After the moment was over she reached back for her mother making her father sigh again, "Well it was nice while it lasted."

"Charming, she's hungry," Snow laughed as she prepared herself to feed her daughter. Within a minute the princess was eating and Snow couldn't take her eyes off of her, she always used these moments to study her daughter. "She's gotten so big. Don't you remember when she was so small we thought we would break her if we moved her?"

"I still think I'm going to break her if I move her," he laughed as he kissed the top of the feeding baby's head. "I'd like her to stop growing. It's happening way too fast for my liking."

Snow let Emma's hand wrap around her finger. "As much as I would love to agree with you on that, I'm really looking forward to seeing what she does in the future. I really wonder when she's going to start to crawl and walk, she's going to cause so much trouble, …" she paused for a moment, "…I wonder what her first word will be."

"I think it should be 'papa' or 'dada' to make up for the favoritism." 'It would only be fair,' he thought to himself.

"Yeah right. It should be 'mama' for the pure fact that I gave her life." Snow looked down at her baby girl who was just about done with her meal. "Is it sad that I can see her own name being her first word? Or 'no'. I think she's going to like the word 'no'." Snow placed her daughter on her shoulder and rubbed her back until she heard a burp.

"Why would she like the word 'no'? She's a happy baby, she won't need to use that word."

"Oh so when it comes to boys you don't want our daughter to be able to say no to them?"

He paused for a moment letting the thought of his daughter hanging around boys really sink in. "Maybe 'no' would be a good first word. She can practice it." He started to think and Snow could see the worry lines on his forehead starting to form.

"It's alright, Charming, we have many, many years before we have to worry about our little girl and boys. Well I hope we have at least 14 years."

"14 years? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Emma's not allowed to look at a boy until she's 30!" He huffed and looked down at his daughter. "Hmm, Em? Does 30 sound like a good age?" The baby just looked at him. The smile she had has turned into a frown and she let out a small cry.

"I would take that as her first 'no', Charming," Snow giggled and lifted her daughter up. She placed Emma so she was leaning on her knees. Emma settled into her new position and started to look around at the new settings. "We are going to give your daddy a heart attack when it comes to boys, hmm my princess? I'll teach you all you need to know," She laughed as Emma kept smiling.

"Please don't, Snow. I think I'll teach Emma about boys, and I can have the dress maker make her a dress that covers her from the tip of her head till her toes. I can also have someone that's always watching her who will scare all the boys away."

"I don't like where this is going and neither is your three month old daughter" Snow chuckled. "Charming, she's still in the process of holding up her own head." Snow looked back at her daughter who was looking at her. "Alright, my princess, it's time to sleep and to let your daddy come back down to reality." She gave Emma's little face a bunch of kisses and Emma let out a couple of giggles.

"Snow, you're just going to keep her awake with all those kisses." Charming sat up getting ready to go to bed himself.

"You're just jealous. Isn't he, Emma?" She started to play peek-a-boo with Emma who started laughing again. After a couple minutes of hearing her daughter's laughter (something she could listen to for hours) she could see that her baby girl was getting tired out. Emma let out a big yawn and Snow just smiled as she brought Emma to lay on her chest and rubbed her back softly while humming a lullaby.

"You know, I can see her personality forming every day. It's so nice to see." Charming leaned back down to his daughter and gave her head a couple of small kisses. Realizing that she was out like a light, he took her baby blanket and laid it across her little body to shield her from the cold. He then placed his finger on her little face, tracing its outline, and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek and she let out a smile.

"See she loves her daddy," Snow smiled. She truly had everything she ever wanted.
