Chapter 8

"Come on baby, kick for mommy. That's my girl".

Charming awoke to the joyful sound of his wife triumphantly negotiating with their daughter who was still in the womb three days overdue. She was sat up-right proudly rubbing her belly. If he had not wanted to meet his daughter just as badly as Snow he would have happily stayed frozen in this one moment. Just watching this beautiful woman and the child they already adored obediently dance inside her.

He sighed to himself, immediately regretting the decision as he hoped to stare lovingly without being noticed. Too late his beautiful wife turned.

Before he knew it her lips were on his in the softest of morning kisses before teasingly pulling away.

"Good morning Snow."

"Morning, Charming"

And his lips where on hers in return but, she did not retract increasing the intensity and skilfully moving her hands across his chest.

"Snow." He murmured warningly.

"Charming."

"Darling, we had a deal. We agreed that we were going to be careful the closer you came to your time."

"We did. But, we did also say once I past a certain point we would be up for anything that could bring her to us faster."

"I'm not hurting you or Emma Snow."

"Oh David, Sweetheart we've tried everything hot dishes long walks, singing to her. Grumpy even tried to scare her out of me. Which didn't work because let's face it Grumpy is the kindest soul underneath." "Doc even said that as long as we were gentle there would be no issues."

"Snow I am still not sure about this"

"Charming I miss you."

"Please."

He stroked her face before starting to worship her body adoringly. She responded in kind. Kissing his neck and back before suddenly stopping.

"Ooh."

"Snow?"

"The baby she's coming".

It took a minute to register what Snow had just said.

"Alright. Let's lie you down. Are you sore? I don't want to make it worse".

"David. David, Look at me. I'm not in pain yet it was only the first contraction and when I am I will welcome it because our baby is coming."

He gently laid her down before kissing her softly and calling for Johanna to fetch Doc

Hours later.

"Just one more push Snow." Doc dutifully exclaimed.

"No, No I can't do this".

He rubbed Snow's back lovingly and whispered in her ear. "Yes you can. You are the strongest woman I have ever met. I love you so much. You CAN do this. I'm with you."

"I love you." She sobbed determined.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".

"SHE'S HERE!" "OH SNOW!" "SHE''s BEAUTIFUL".

"Oh. Charming. We're together." Snow exclaimed happily joyful tears spilling from her eyes when the new family were left in peace together.

"I love you both so much".

"Ha. My beautiful Emma. Mummy was right after all."

Emma gurgled and squirmed as she was placed onto her mother's breast. A contented family at last.
