Chapter 2:

Snow finished getting ready and saw her daughter curled up on the couch asleep. She must have still been sleepy from waking up early.

"Em, Em, wake up." Snow gently shook her daughter awake.

Emma woke up rubbing her eyes.

"Well good morning again." Snow smiled.

"Morning Mommy." Emma smiled and sat up.

"Did you enjoy your show?" Snow asked.

"Yea I just love Little house!" Emma exclaimed!

"Good! How about we get you dressed for the day and then we can play a game of Candy Land?"

"Yea I love Candy Land!" Emma jumped up and down.

"Ok, let's go get you changed than!"

"Can I wear my leather red jacket Mommy?" Emma asked

"Not right now Em. That's for when we go outside." Snow explained, "How about you wear this?" She pulled out a cute little dress and leggings.

"It's pink." Emma said in disgust.

"It's cute!" Snow said

"Can I wear the blue one with the swan?" Emma asked sweetly.

"Ok, if you want too." Snow gave in. She really looked cute in anything.

Snow tried to help her get dressed, "Mommy I can do it. I'm a big girl!" Emma protested.

"Alright. You can if you want to. I'll just go get Candy land ready." She smiled and left Emma in her room. The apartment was open so she was still able to see Emma if she needed help. She laughed to herself, "So much like her Father."

They played Candy Land for a while. Snow won once and Emma won once. After awhile Emma was getting really irritable. Snow was winning the third game and Emma was not happy.

"Ah I had to go back again!" Emma yelled clearly upset.

"It's ok Emma it's just a game. You'll catch up again." Snow explained trying to stay positive.

"No I won't! I hate this game!" Emma yelled and started throwing the cards off the table.

"Emma, stop that!" Snow warned.

Emma proceeded to knock all the pieces off the board. She grabbed the board and was about to throw it.

"Emma Ruth, you put that down right now." Snow said in a soft warning voice.

Emma thought about it for a second and decided to listen.

"Now pick up this mess." Snow said calmly.

"Ugh noooooo…" Emma whined. "I don't want to." She cried and continued whining.

"Emma Ruth, stop that whining and pick up those cards." Snow could not believe what a fit her daughter was making over a game.

"NOOO!" She yelled defiantly.

"EMMA! Stop that. You have two choices. You can either pick up the cards and pieces now or stand in the corner until you stop your whining and then pick up the cards. What is it going to be?" Snow asked her little pouting daughter.

"Mommy Noooo!" She continued to whine.

"Alright corner it is." Snow said grabbing her little arm and pulling her to the corner.

"Noooooooooo, nooooo" Emma continued to cry and tried her best to pull away from her Mom who proceeded to drag her to the corner.

"Emma stop this right now. You will stand in this corner until I say so. And no talking." Snow told her.

"Mommy no!" Emma whined.

"Emma that is enough!" Snow had had enough.

Emma got the message and whimpered and started sucking her thumb. It was something she did since she was a baby and she had done it now when she was upset.

Snow sighed and wondered what had gotten into her little girl. She decided she needed to have a break and call her husband.

"Hey Snow, how's it going?"

"Hey Charming, it's ok. Your daughter just threw a tantrum and is in the corner."

"What she got herself into this time?" He chuckled.

"Well we were playing a game and she got upset when she wasn't winning and threw all the pieces on the floor. I told her to pick the pieces up and she just started whining and yelling."

"Oh boy, do you want me to talk to her?" He asked concerned.

"Not yet. She isn't usually this whiny. I'm wondering if it something else. I'll just wait her out." Snow said worry etched in her voice.

"Ok, if you need anything just call me. I bet she'll get over this." Charming tried to reassure her.

"Ok thanks Sweety. Talk to you later!"

"Bye. See you."

Snow decided after 10 minutes that her daughter had had enough time to calm down. She walked over to her and noticed her daughter was pulling on her ear and sucking her thumb.

"Emma, are you ready to clean up your mess?" Snow asked calmly.

Emma turned around tear stains were on her cheeks, "Yes Mommy, *hiccup*."

Snow wiped her tears away and walked her over to the mess. "Alright then, go over there and clean it up please and then meet me on the couch."

"Tay Mommy." She obeyed and went over to clean up the mess. It took about 10 minutes for her to clean up her mess and she walked over to Snow on the couch.

"It all clean Mommy." Emma said as she picked up her bear and sat down next to Snow.

"Thank you. Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Snow asked.

"I'm sorry Mommy." She apologized with new tears starting to fall.

"It's okay Baby. Thank you for apologizing." Snow told her sweetly and they both cuddled on the couch together. Snow only hoped the day would go better.
