Messy baby
A guest asked for a oneshot of Emma being a messy eater. One day at Granny's, Snow notices she's getting kinda messy. So, without missing a beat, she wipes Emma's face and then tucks the napkin into her shirt like a bib. I'm going to pretend certain events didn't happen for this.
"Ok, so you make sure the batteries are in the right way, and then what?" Snow was on the phone to Charming, who was on a stag weekend away with Robin and some of the guys. Charming was the one who always sorted out Neal's rocker when it froze up. Since he was away, Snow was going to have to do it. She had the phone pressed between her ear and her shoulder so she could feed Neal his porridge as she talked to Charming. She was going to need the rocker again in a few hours. It was the only way Neal would go down for a nap without a full-on fight. Beside her, Emma was tucking into a breakfast burrito. Snow had frowned at her choice of her start to the day meal, but what could Snow do about it? Emma didn't regret it one bit. She slurped down the delicious, greasy goodness. Not noticing the bit of egg yolk that dribbled down her chin.
Snow was on autopilot as she talked to Charming. She was doing her best to take in his instructions as she fed Neal. It was due to being on autopilot that, when Snow noticed the egg yolk, she just automatically sprung into maternal action. There was no proper thought process behind it, it was just instinct. Snow grabbed a napkin from a little disposer in the booth. Still listening to Charming's instructions, she took Emma's face in her hands and quickly wiped the egg yolk away. Emma was too surprised to say anything. Had that really just happened?! Snow then took the corker of the napkin and tucked it into the top of Emma's shirt. Emma just stared between the makeshift bib and her mother, astounded. Snow clearly didn't notice.
"Ok, so I need to make sure the remote has batteries in as well, gotcha." She said, continuing to listen to Charming, completely oblivious to Emma's shock.
