That smile
FanOfMost asked for a oneshot Emma being up to something and Snow realising it first. She gets there first because she has more experience with the "up to something" smile since it's the same as Charming's. Charming is disappointed he's not as sneaky as he thought, but he's glad to know Emma got something from him.
"See! She's doing it again!" Snow whispered frantically, pointing at Emma.
"What? Snow, I think you're getting paranoid. Emma's smiling at her phone. She probably saw a funny meme, or Henry sent her a joke or something." Charming reasoned. Snow huffed.
"I'm telling you, Charming, Emma's up to something. Can't you see it?"
"See what?" Charming asked.
"The smile! It's no ordinary Emma smile. It's her '"up to something" smile. It's exactly the same as yours." Charming was suddenly flabbergasted.
"Excuse me?" He asked. "What does that mean?" Snow continued to look at Emma, but began to answer Charming's question.
"Whenever you're arranging me a special surprise, or you've got something special up your sleeve, I know it from the smile you give periodically. I don't know what to expect or when, but I know something's coming. Just like I do now with Emma." Charming pouted. He had never known he had an "up to something" smile! He always thought he was pretty stealthy. Apparently not. He leaned his elbow on the counter, resting his head on his hand. He tilted his head as he too now observed Emma. Sure enough, her smile did look a little different.
"So she got my "up to something" smile, huh?" He sighed, a proud smile spreading across his face. Snow laughed lightly, reaching up and kissing his cheek.
"She sure did, daddy. Blonde hair, all her different smiles and her attitude."
"She did not-" Charming stopped when he realised Snow had just said the last one to get a reaction. He rolled his eyes playfully and went back to observing Emma. She really was his girl.
