Chapter 7
"She's so…"
"I know." David replied holding his wife as they stared at their beautiful baby peacefully sleeping in her crib.
"It's magic. The love I feel for her, for you. Charming if this is a dream I don't ever want to wake up from it.
"Come here." He says warmly and she wraps herself around him accordingly pressing sweet kisses on his lips before they entwine in a long and passionate one which they only break for fear of waking the baby.
They pull away slightly dissatisfied it's been a few weeks since their daughter's birth and they aren't ready to move her from their sight, let alone, their bedroom.
"We'll find a way." He murmurs devotedly.
"Oh I know." She affirms smugly, with her teasing "I can love you anytime I want to" face. "That's why I'm not wearing a corset."
"Or underwear."
"Really?"
"Mhm." She nods innocently.
"I think it's time you and I had a little adventure."
"I couldn't agree more. Charming."
"A net." She giggles, feeling herself being propelled up in the air swiftly, dangling in the net a few moments later. Snow knew he wanted to give her an adventure but, it was only when he asked her to meet him in the same spot that she knew.
When he appears a moment later striding over with an immense sense of pride it's all she can do not to kiss him.
"Do you like it?"
"I love you." She chuckles, remembering how frustrated she was the first time.
He sighs relieved, having purposefully worn the same leather doublet and pants.
"So you don't want to kill me then?" David asks tentatively.
"I want to kiss you and a few other things… but, I have a feeling you won't set me free yet?"
"Correct."
"So may I ask why you are entrapping me? Again." Snow made the last word tender and seductive.
"Because, I love you and there are things I wanted to say on the day we met that I need you to hear."
She rocks playfully in net. "I am all yours but, only if I might do the same after you?"
"I expect nothing less from my beautiful, bandit wife."
She starts to melt already "That doesn't count does it?"
"You weren't my wife then." He holds her gaze lovingly.
"Alright, alright I'm listening." Snow sits attentively.
"When you robbed me and I knocked you off that horse, Snow I could have married you right then and there."
"I fell in love as soon as I saw you."
She laughs so musically. "Me too."
"You hit me with a rock." David quirks.
"I thought you'd hand me over to Regina. I'd never have harmed you otherwise."
He touches his scar fondly. "I know you wouldn't have."
"Cut me down Charming." She breathes lost in love.
"What will you do when I do?"
"Kiss you, touch you LOVE you in all the ways I wanted to when I returned your letter."
"I was so scared when Regina's men took you. I wanted to hold you and never let you go."
"And now, I can do that." In one swift movement he cuts her down with his knife and then she's barely hit the ground before he's doing exactly that.
"MMM. I love you." Snow says kissing him fiercely as he picks her up bridal style, luckily Johanna agreed to take Emma for an hour or two after her feed so they can head to their next destination.
"The Troll Bridge." Snow says astounded. Luckily since Regina's death the trolls seem to have disappeared.
"That's right."
"And what would we be doing here?"
"Whatever you want."
"Prince Charming. You old romantic."
"Give me a minute and I'll show you just how romantic I can be." (No, they did not make love there. They had a nice stroll instead).
The forest floor however, that was easy to get lost in.
Later that night, Charming murmurs. "You were wrong."
"About?" She says kissing a slow path down his chest as they lie in bed together.
"Being a siren."
"You're my love, my light. I'd do anything for you."
"And you are mine. My Prince Charming."
