Snow was taken aback by David's good looks. He was tall and muscular and his blonde hair was mussed from sleep. David stepped back to let her and and Regina in. "I'm sorry did we wake you?" asked Snow.
"No, Emma started crying ten minutes ago, so I woke up to check on her." David said reassuringly.
Snow visibly tensed at Emma's name. "Is she OK? Can I see her?"
"Emma's fine" said David. He left the room and two minutes later he was back and he was holding Emma. Snow gingerly took Emma out of his arms and began to talk to her.
***************************************************************************************
David watched Snow interact with Emma and he couldn't help admiring the way Snow got Emma to laugh in a matter of seconds.
Snow looked up at David with big brown eyes filled with worry. "I know it was a closed adoption, but..."
David held up his hand stoping her. "You can't have Emma back, it was a closed adoption, but you can come visit her ANYTIME you want." David could see Snow wasn't happy with this, but she didn't complain. David prepared himself for a lot of visits, but he was ok with that because he would get to know Snow better.

Three months later Snow and David were married and raising Emma Swan Nolan as well as her brothers Neal Cassidy Nolan and Killian Jones Nolan. Snow knew she had found her happy ending; she had a loving husband, three lovable children and a second chance with her mother.
