Chapter 2:
"This is fun" Emma said with a smile as she looked up at August, she rested her head against the crook of his neck "I can't believe I am saying that"
"It can be fun if you want it to be" August said kissing her forehead. She smiled again and then looked around the room. It had been so long since they had started living in the castle that Emma was longing of the days in Storybrooke. "See?" August smiled at Michael and Alexandra chasing each other and the other couples dancing to the song, from the corner of her eye she spotted her mother and father dancing lost in each other's company.
"Mind if I intrude" James touched August's shoulder softly. He stepped aside and bowed. "You do know how proud I am, don't you?" James said as August was gone.
"I know" Emma looked up at her father's bright blue eyes "thank you"
"For what?" the prince asked confused.
"For not giving up on me… giving me life… being mine" James smiled sweetly at her "I mean I always thought you… never mind" Maybe she would ruin this nice moment of dancing with her father into something that wasn't. That could wait.
"She had fun" Snow said as she and James made their way to Michael's chambers. Emma's nursery had been left untouched as a reminder of their sacrifice but the little one's space was just as amazing as Emma's had once been. The little boy was soundly asleep and on his father's arms. "I guess that is what matters"
"Yes" James agreed kissing her cheek. They changed Michael and put him to bed, he opened his eyes slightly "Good night little one"
"Night daddy" Michael smiled as his father leaned to kiss his forehead and handed him a stuffed wolf given to him as a baby by Red.
"Good night baby" Snow said touching his nose and kissing his cheek "Sweet dreams"
"Charming?" Snow said once they reached their chambers a moment later. James smiled up at her but instantly noticed the sadness on her voice.
"What's wrong?" He reached to touch her arm and instead she captured his lips with hers. No argument there.
"Nothing" Snow said once they broke apart "I suppose Emma's birthday is always a very hard date for me, even when all the importance" James understood what she meant. This had been the day that their destinies had been altered and all thrown to the cruelty of fate. "I just wonder… what would have been? Those birthdays and first balls"
"And princesses lessons?" James asked ceasing and eyebrow.
"Hunting with dad" Snow smiled sitting on the bed. "Getting in trouble"
"Night stories before bed" James continued sitting next to her "We have that with Michael"
"Yes" Snow said sadly "But it's not the same, and I just feel like…"
"We should have been there" James rested his head on the pillow as he laid face up "I am just so happy we have her with us, no matter how old she is" He felt Snow touching his head and playing with his hair.
That night he dreamt of the little girl with golden curly hair and bright green eyes running around the castle with scrapped knees, the one who hadn't had a destiny to bear. One that was just. His little girl.
