Torn
A guest asked for a oneshot of *season 6 spoilers!* Charming reacting to Emma becoming engaged and being afraid he'll lose his baby girl.
I still couldn't quite believe it. I was almost bursting with the news. I had to talk to somebody about it, but who was there to talk to? Emma didn't know yet, and Snow was asleep. I couldn't tell Henry, he would never be able to keep a secret like this from his mom. Sure, I could try telling Neal how I felt, but he wouldn't exactly be very sympathetic. I certainly couldn't talk to Killian. He was the one causing me this strange mix of emotion.
I was, of course, thrilled for them both, especially Emma. She was my princess. From the second I saw her, still fresh and pink in Snow's arms, I knew I always wanted what was best for her. I always wanted her to be happy. If Killian made her happy (which it was clear he did), then I wanted them to be together. I was glad Killian was doing the right thing and making an honest woman out of her. I can't help but cringe at that word in relation to Emma. Woman. Emma couldn't be a woman, could she? She was my little girl. That was precisely the problem. Emma was my little girl, my baby. I had not had nearly enough time with her myself. It didn't seem fair that I was now having to share her with two other men: Henry and Killian. I should have had years to prepare myself for this, and even then I suspect I would never have been ready. But at least I would have more memories to fall back on. I had next to none in comparison with most fathers. I want Emma to be happy, I want her to have the world. I just don't want her to have it yet. I don't want to lose her.
