Still stuck in the head- part 2
A guest asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch2229 "Still stuck in the head" where Snow finds it adorable that Emma is still calling her mommy. Emma also seems scared and is quite clingy. Even though Snow is enjoying it in the moment, she hopes her Emma comes back soon.
I had never really had the opportunity to see the vulnerable side of my daughter before. Well, not like this, anyway. I had seen Emma when she was ready to run. I had seen her when she would lash out in defence. But I had never seen her properly scared. Not like this.
It couldn't be denied that, on some level, my heart swelled every time she called me mommy. It just slipped off her tongue when she was like this. It didn't bother her at all that she was a grown woman, and she clearly didn't think it was corny.
This Emma was also a lot more timid. She didn't like being left on her own. I could understand that. To her, this was a strange new world with weird, noisy, flashy technology and unfamiliar clothing. She liked cuddling up. She liked being made to feel secure in a way the other Emma would have thumped me for trying…that was the problem. This woman…she wasn't my daughter. Not really. As much as I was jumping at the chance to be a hands on mother to Emma as well as Neal, I knew this wasn't her. If Emma could see herself acting like this she would be horrified. My daughter was a strong, independent woman who didn't take any nonsense. This timid little mouse was the Evil Queen's ideal Emma. Weak and defenceless. I hadn't ever wanted that for her. Had Charming and I really raised Emma, she would have of course not been like this. She would be as feisty as ever, but using our weapons as opposed to a gun. As much as it pained me in ways to say it, I really hope there was a way to restore my daughter soon. I miss her.
