A/N: Happy Valentine's Day to all my lovely readers! If you want a V-Day fix, head on over to read my themed Snowing fic 'How Do I Love Thee?' Now, this drabble is for NightingaleTear who asked for Emma finding out Snow was pregnant...I've based this somewhat off a couple of spoilers for season 3B :)
Notice
"What…you…you're pregnant?"
From the minute she'd drank the potion which had restored her memories, Emma had been impatient beyond belief to return to Storybrooke and wrap her parents in a rather uncharacteristic hug. That had remained her plan throughout the long drive from New York with Henry and Hook chattering on in the background and the seeming eons it took to climb the stairs up to the apartment.
In fact it had remained her plan right up until she'd opened the door and noticed that her mother was sporting a rather large bump where her usually flat stomach would have been.
Silence ticked on for a few seconds before Snow's face broke into a wry smile.
"Believe it or not, that is exactly what your father said when he noticed the same thing."
David's previously welcoming expression shifted in a look of sheepish acknowledgement.
"Why would he…right, you don't remember the last year," Emma answered her own cutoff question when she recalled what Hook had told her about what had happened, "Must've been a shock."
"Just a little bit," David said quietly as he linked his hand with Snow's. They'd asked Hook not to say anything to Emma before she arrived but now he wasn't certain that was a good idea in the face of her shocked reaction.
For her own part, Emma wasn't quite sure what her emotions were telling her about this rather unexpected development. But when she looked into her parent's anxious eyes and saw nothing but love and relief that she was standing before them with memories intact, she knew what else she felt at that moment didn't matter.
It might have been put off for a few minutes, but she wasted no time after that in carrying out the plan…she just now had to include her unborn sibling into the hug too.
