What brought them together

A guest asked for a oneshot of Charming continually complaining about Emma and Hook. Emma tells him it's partially his fault they're together as Emma kissed Hook for the first time as a thank you for saving his life. Snow thinks it's funny and accuses Emma of being a daddy's girl after all.

Emma couldn't help but feel amused by her dad's antics. He had said he was fine with Killian moving in with her, but Emma knew that was a lie. She didn't even need her superpower for that one. The fact of the matter was, he was jealous. Not in a bad way, in what Emma would describe as quite an endearing way. It felt nice to know somebody cared about her enough to be jealous. She hadn't had that many times in her life. Although the one thing Emma could live without, was her dad's near constant jibes at Killian. He didn't do it out of badness, he just couldn't help himself. So Emma decided on an unusual tact one evening to get him to stop. She didn't think her dad knew all the ins and outs of the events surrounding her and Killian's first kiss.

"It's funny that you dislike him being with me so much, seeing as your part of what brought us together." Emma said casually. Charming choked on the water he had been about to take a sip of.

"What?!" He eventually spluttered. "How?" Emma smiled at him.

"Killian saved your life in Neverland. When I thanked him for it, he asked if your life was only worth a simple thank you. So I showed him exactly how grateful I was." Emma explained. Charming's jaw hit the table. That lousy no good pirate had used that situation to get some from Emma?! He would be having words with him about that. Snow couldn't help but laugh at Charming's whole reaction, but she could also see that, unless the subject was diverted, Killian might be getting a fist to the face pretty soon.

"Well Emma, I guess you really are a daddy's girl." Snow commented. Now it was Emma's turn to choke on her water.

"Excuse me?" She asked. "How so?" Snow smiled at her.

"Well if you were that grateful to Killian for saving his life, and by the sounds of things you were very grateful, then you must be a daddy's girl." Snow analysed. Emma fumbled as she tried to defend herself. Charming's face broke out into a grin. He kissed the top of Emma's head.

"Aww, my little princess." He teased her. Emma scowled. Next time she would just let Killian take the brunt.
