Cramps
OnceLover asked for a oneshot of Emma having PMS cramps and Snow taking care of her princess. This was very close to home for me, as my period actually started on Sunday. You can imagine that was fun coinciding with watching the finale. Worked out so well.
Emma curled up into the foetal position in agony. It felt like someone had two chains attached to either side of her uterus and was yanking hard. It felt like every time she sneezed or coughed, or even moved in the wrong direction, Niagara Falls was coming out of her. This was no fun at all.
Snow felt for Emma. She, of course, knew what those first day cramps were like. Emma had struggled through work and came back home. She went immediately up to her bed, even passing down dinner. Charming just thought she was sick. Snow knew better. She recognised the way she was carrying herself, the way she clutched her lower abdomen. Yeah, this was her time of the month. Snow set straight to work. She couldn't take the pain away from Emma, as much as she would like to, but she could ease it up somewhat. So, Snow put the kettle on to boil and grabbed her hot water bottle. She got a bottle of water and some aspirin. When the hot water bottle was ready, she took it up to Emma with the water, painkillers and even some of her favourite chocolate.
"This should help." Snow said gently as she gave Emma the hot water bottle. "Take the painkillers when you're ready. Have as much chocolate as you want." Snow told her. "Try not to curl up, it'll just make it harder for the blood to flow." Snow said. Emma gave her mom a faint smile.
"You didn't have to do all this." Emma said gratefully. Snow smiled back.
"I did. You're in pain, I could do something about it." Snow placed some loose hair behind Emma's ear. "Rest up Em. I hope you feel better by the morning."
"Thanks mom." Emma said, moving the water bottle to the sorest spot. Snow smiled, another mother moment she finally got to have with her daughter.
