After giving him a quick peck on the lips to show her gratitude, Snow had rushed towards the door to try and find Johanna. "Thank you for understanding".

He knew losing her mother had been hard and especially so on her birthday. The image of his own mother with an arrow through her heart would never escape him but still, he wanted to help, he hated to see his wife so distressed.
"I just wish this day made you happier" he tried as he helped her put her coat on.

"I know, but we both know it can't" she replied with eyes full of pain and with that she had left.

Light kisses peppering Snow's face awoke her. Not how most would wake up but most don't have a Charming prince for their husband.

She let out a happy sigh as her eyes fluttered open and came to rest on her handsome beloved. He was laying next to her, holding her close to him in his arms and rubbing her back soothingly.
"Today is a special day" he smiled at her warmly.

A slight frown crossed Snow's sleepy face as she tried to remember what today was. It was just a typical Saturday. Nothing special at all to her knowledge.

The confusion in her eyes made Charming chuckle but he didn't explain any further. He simply reached over to the bed stand and grabbed a small golden box. He passed it to his perplexed wife and grinned.

"A present? What is it?" she queried inspecting the small little package.

"Why don't you open it and see?".

With that she tore off the ribbon and opened the lid. Patience had never been her forte. With a little more care, she removed the tissue paper from the box and gasped. A small glass unicorn, one from what was once to be Emma's mobile. She gently picked it up and placed it in her palm. It glittered as it caught the morning sunlight streaming through the window.

"This is all that was found after the curse. The others were shattered" her prince told her "do you like it?".

She tore her gaze from her gift and looked into her husband's eyes. "Charming, I love it" she spoke in almost a whisper.

Leaning in to him and pulling him closer, their lips met and they engaged in a deep and passionate kiss.

"Almost as much as I love you" she grinned after eventually pulling away.

"But what for?" Snow asked, once again gazing down at the unicorn.

Charming brushed a stray hair from her forehead and kissed her nose. "For your half birthday" he told her softly "I know how painful your birthday is so this will be a day to celebrate you, my amazing Snow".

She gasped and her eyes brimmed with tears. Charming truly gives her his heart every day. No words were needed to express her feelings. She would show him instead.

Snow flipped her charming husband onto his back and straddled him. He took the precious unicorn from her grip and placed it out of the way. She leant down and crashed her lips to his, instantly parting her own allowing him to slip his tongue into her mouth.

He ran his palms up and down her back before lifting her silk night gown over her head. "You like the idea then" Charming breathlessly teased into her lips, forehead resting against hers.

"Charming really does suit you" she teased back as she began to run her hands up his bare chest.

Snow moaned as he found her sensitive spot on her neck. He knew her too well. Slowly he made a line of kisses down her neck and to her collarbone. When he abruptly span her round and onto her back causing her to exclaim aloud. "It may be your half birthday princess but that means I get to please you" he muttered into her soft skin.

Then his lips found her breasts and he began to work magic with his tongue. After all, true love is the most powerful magic. She moaned his name which seemed to satisfy him and rose to meet her impatient lips again.

Snow managed to take his pants off and he swiftly threw them away. He wasn't done lovingly torturing her yet though. His hand slipped down in between her legs. His other arm next to her, lowering him down to her lips. He continued to kiss her as his two fingers entered her and began to slowly circle. She moaned but he caught the sound in his kiss. She rocked her hips instinctively as he pushed her closer to the edge. He finally slipped across the spot which sent her into ecstasy and made her exclaim his name which he also took with his lips.

Feelings of pleasure washed over her and she didn't really notice him slip out of her and begin to line up. Snow began to kiss him lazily again and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

She nodded and he pushed into her. Slowly and not fully to tease her even further. She thrusted her hips and bit down onto his bottom lip until he could no longer stop himself. They began to move in time, so used to this yet it never failed to seem new somehow. Snow pulled her lips from her husband's and kissed and licked down his neck and across his collar bone. He moaned her name making her smirk a little. Only she could make those noises escape him and only she would hear them. Snow realised he was nearing the edge and wrapped her legs around his hips.

She clenched her muscles around him and he cried out. It was her half birthday but that meant she could take control. Slipping his hand down and touching where they joined, Snow climaxed for a second time. She bit down into Charming's shoulder to contain her cry. Their two children and grandson were hopefully still asleep upstairs.

Once they had both regained their senses, Charming rolled them onto their sides and took his wife into his arms again. She placed her hands on his chest and looked up into his eyes, a gaze full of pure and true love.

"Thank you for this. I can finally celebrate without so much pain. I love you David" she spoke truthfully.

"I love you more Snow" he told her back with just as much truth.
