Summary: With Impending birth of Emma and Killian's baby girl and first child; Snow, David and a few others decided to gift the newest family member with some rather special gifts.
A/N: I don't really know where this came from to be honest. I saw one of those countdown gifs of Emma looking at the mobile and my brain said hey how about snow gives that to Emma's daughter as a family heirloom then my brain proceeded to word vomit the rest of this as well. But I'm especially happy with it, like dying of cavity sweet toothache happy.
Today was a special day, a very special day for the town indeed. For most of the town inhabitants of Storybrooke were gathering at Granny's to celebrate the Savior and the Pirate's first child. Now the child was not due to arrive to their little town for another month at least but that didn't stop the townsfolk form throwing a kickass baby shower.
Now Noelle Ruth Jones wasn't to be born for a few weeks, but she was already becoming the spoiled, beloved child of the town, if you asked her big brother. But he always said it with love, joining in the rest of the town in ensuring that this princess was to be spoiled and protected and loved just as her mother and father never truly were until coming to Storybrooke.
The town pulled out all the stops for this baby shower, especially since most of the town already knew the princess' name thanks to a few certain blabber mouth grandparents and dwarves, having then assumed there would be no baby naming ceremony put on by the modern day parents. Granny was catering and hosting, Ruby and the Dwarves decorated and everyone was told to bring presents.
Emma and Killian had been over the moon about the whole party, especially Emma who had recently been told to stop even her desk work at the Sheriff's office by her father, her husband and her best friend's fiancé and Emma's Doctor, so she desperately needed a party. Of course everyone's most anticipated part was the opening of presents, having been told what some of the more important ones were.
So Emma and Killian were sat in a corner booth with a mountain of presents before them and a plethora of townsfolk around them. The majority of the gifts they opened were onesies, diapers, shoes, knick knacks and just general baby things. But it was the final three at the bottom people were excited about.
The couple opened up a red wrapped package first after noticing the softness upon holding. The unwrapping revealed an off-white hand knit baby blanket much like the one in the back of Emma's closet. The main differences were that the name at the bottom was Noelle's as well as a few anchor patterns and a light blue ribbon in the corner for accents. Emma quickly stood and waddled over to hug Ruby and then Granny in thanks, well as quickly as an eight month pregnant woman can move. After taking her seat by her husband, Emma quickly asked Ruby and Robin to be the godparents for her daughter. Emma even specified in her asking of Ruby saying that especially since Ruby didn't get the chance to be Emma's own godmother than how about for her daughter instead. Ruby then gave her own hug to the blonde savior as she and Robin accepted the request.
After taking a few minutes to dry all the teary eyes of the room, Emma and Killian then opened up the smaller of the last two gifts. When they peered into the box, it was to spy a familiar pendant that they had used themselves a few months prior, the old pendant that had originally belonged to Emma's grandmother, Ruth. Before she got a chance to ask, David and Snow encouraged her to open the last and final gift sitting in front of them. Shrugging, Killian and Emma then proceeded to open the box only for it to reveal the old unicorn mobile that had come over with the curse. Emma would know that mobile anywhere, it was the one she would have had over her crib and stared at every morning had she not been sent over before the curse.
Immediately tearing up and going over to her parents, Emma hugged first her mother and then her father in long tight hugs for a few minutes before being helped back into her seat by her husband, just as her parents explained the gifts.
Her mother then proceeded to explain how she, Emma's father as well as Granny and Ruby wanted to give this little princess some family heirlooms as well as traditions, besides the probably love of cinnamon on cocoa and a possibly motherly distinctive chin. That family was one of the most important things in the world and that this little girl was being born into one of the biggest and kookiest families around, but from the moment of her birth she would be loved, cared for, and protected from anything and everything. Just as Emma never got the chance to be.
Right as Snow finished speaking, Henry stepped forward from his place by Regina with a present of his own. As Emma opened up what appeared to be two old handcrafted puppets, Henry explained that he had remembered these two dolls in the pictures of her own nursery in the story book. So he then asked his other grandfather to help him retrieve them from the castle ruins back in the Enchanted Forest for his baby sister. Henry knew that the dolls were stood by the crib for protection, Henry though that the knight and sailor that had been intended to protect his mother could protect his baby sister, just as he intended to when she was older.
Emma immediately pulled her eldest son into a long hug before thanking the entire town for keeping her little girl's wellbeing such a high priority and that she was so grateful to have been brought here all those years ago by a curious and rambunctious young boy to bring back the happy endings. For she had found one of her own as well.
