Chapter 1

"Daddy!" Emma giggled, her childlike laughter instantly putting a smile on her father's face. The five-year-old ran through the green field meadows of the back end of the Palace. Her blonde curls bouncing against her back and her red play dress springing up and down as she fled. The princess was truly beautiful, a perfect mix of both of her parents; both in looks and attitude.

"I'm gonna getcha" David yelled back, following after his daughter. His arms wide in front of him as to grab her from around the waist and pick her up.

Emma continued to giggle and scream as her father began to catch up to her, "Mommy!" She yelped as she ran towards her mother for safety. Snow turned around and saw her young daughter gripping onto both her legs, in response she picked her up.

"What is it my little duckling?" Snow smiled as she looked at her daughter tenderly. The sight of something so perfect made her heart soar. Emma (alongside Charming) was everything to her and she would always fight no matter what to ensure her daughter had the most perfect life possible. Including not being forced out of her own castle and banditry like hers did.

"Daddy!" Emma yelped as she pointed towards her father who was still running towards her in a playful manner.

"And what is Daddy doing?" Snow asked her five-year-old in an inconspicuous tone.

"He's trying to tickle me!" She exclaimed, her eyes growing wide.

"Oh no we can't have that, can we." Snow said as Charming approached the both of them and Emma nodded,

"I suppose we'll just have to both tickle you together." She stared cheekily at her.

"No!" Emma gaped. "Yes." Her mother nodded as she dropped Emma from her hip and the two of them began to chase and tickle her. The young princesses laughter suppressing what felt like the entire kingdom.

-Later that night-

The two proud parents stood at the opened doorway of their daughter's bedroom. Emma was sound asleep under the silk covers of her duvet. Her hair sprawled out around her like a halo. Even in sleep, she was still beautiful.

"She's so perfect," David whispered as he admired the sight. His arm snaked around his wife's waist.

"How could we have gotten such a perfect daughter David?" Snow asked her husband with the same look of admiration he had. Charming let out a breath,

"I don't know. But I love her more than anything."

The queen coughed, "Anyone?" She raised a brow. "Well, of course, there's you." He muttered whilst kissing Snow's neck.

"Easier tiger. How about you say we leave our daughter to sleep and we go back to our room..." Snow spoke in a seductive tone.

"I would say I love that idea as much as I love you," Charming replied with a cocky smile, however, Snow had already begun running towards her room. Leaving Charming by himself in the empty hallways. David smirked and then followed his wife through the corridors, towards their bedroom whilst Emma slept peacefully, unaware of anything that went on around her.

No matter what happened in their future, they always had their now.

Hey, nice to meet you all. This is my first OUAT story so I hope you enjoy all the Captain Swan and Charming family moments I hope to bring.

I know this is a little short but this is just the beginning; I plan on making them longer whilst the chapters go on, this is just the childhood memories after all.

I hope you review to tell me what you think and I'll speak to you all next time,
