Pregnant, not fragile
Kayla asked for a oneshot of Snow being pregnant and both Charming and Emma treating her like she can't do things for herself. One day, Snow has enough and tells them both she's pregnant, not crippled and can do everything for herself without their help.
happydayforme: sorry, but I can't see Emma reacting like that.
Guest: I'm afraid I've already wrote about Snow in her Disney counterpart's costume.
I have a sneaking suspicion I have another guest making multiple requests using different first names. Again, I could be wrong, but that's one of the consequences of reviewing as a guest.
"Where are you going?" Charming asked, rather horrified. Snow took a deep breath. It was like having a constant bodyguard right now.
"To the bathroom." She replied as calmly as she could without exploding. Charming nodded slowly.
"Do you need a hand?" He asked her. Snow resisted the urge to send him a look. She just didn't understand where this was coming from.
"Charming. I have been pregnant with our child twice before. Right up until the births of both Emma and Neal I was more than able to visit the bathroom by myself. Just because we're in the land without magic doesn't change that." Charming's cheeks went slightly pink. Had he overstepped the mark, or was this just Snow's hormones? Either way, he knew it was best to apologise.
"Sorry." He said sheepishly. "Just trying to help."
"I know." Snow sighed. "But it's ok to let me do things by myself." Snow then continued on her way to the bathroom, when Emma came down the stairs.
"Where are you going, mom?" Emma asked her. Snow just barely stopped herself from sighing again.
"Bathroom." Snow answered simply. What did a woman have to say to be able to pee in peace around here?!
"Ok, wait a second and I'll come give you a hand…"
"Ok. Enough." Snow had finally lost it. "Emma, go sit on the couch beside your father. I'll be back in a moment once I've used the bathroom, alone." Worried, Emma did as her mom asked.
Snow came out of the bathroom a few minutes later and moved into the living room. She sat down on an armchair beside Charming and Emma, who were looking at her curiously.
"Ok, I appreciate that you're both trying to be helpful, but I'm not made out of glass. Charming, you're completely different with this pregnancy. I mean, you were always protective, but you're just going a bit too far this time. I don't see why being in this world changes things. Emma, you've been pregnant before. You should know I don't need any help going to pee. You both love me, and I love you both. But, and please take this in the nicest way possible, if you don't back off and give me some breathing room we're going to have a problem. I'm fine. The baby is fine. If I need your help to do something I will ask for it. Seeing as I was able to attend battles with you squishing my internal organs, Emma, I think I'll be ok. Got it?"
"Got it." Both Charming and Emma said together. Snow nodded.
"Good, now I'm going to go dry my hair." Snow could see both Charming and Emma go to say something, but they bit their lips. Snow smiled, satisfied. It appeared her point had been made.
