A letter to mama- part 2
beth1980 asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch2050 "A letter to mama" where Emma finds a letter she wrote to David.
After Emma found the ancient letter she had written to her mom, she had a sneaking suspicion it wasn't the only one. She wasn't the only one snooping around for a letter to her dad, Charming was too. Snow now kept the letter from Emma under her pillow every night. Charming couldn't deny feeling a little bit jealous. He wanted a letter from his baby girl too.
Emma knew her dad was feeling a little jealous, and she felt bad that he didn't have something like her mom did. So, she waited until they took Neal out for the day and turned her room upside down until she found it. She knew she'd written a similar letter to her dad! Emma smiled when she found it. She quickly read it over herself before slipping it into her pocket. Her dad was in for a surprise when he came home.
Snow and Charming came home a few hours later. Emma had hoped to hold out until after dinner, but she barely lasted five minutes. She sat beside her dad on the couch and pulled the letter out of her pocket and offered it to him. Charming looked at it curiously. He smiled up at Emma hopefully. Was this it? Emma nodded. She felt too shy to read it aloud, but she didn't mind her dad reading it. He eagerly opened the envelope.
To my daddy,
I think about you a lot. Are you tall? Are you really strong? Could I ride on your shoulders? I don't mind if I can't. I can just hold your hand. I don't mind if you gave me away. It's ok if you couldn't look after me when I was a baby. But maybe, one day, you'll come back and find me. When you do, it's ok, I'll forgive you.
I love you daddy,
Emma.
Charming couldn't stop a few tears escaping his eyes as he read the letter over.
"I love you too, Emma." He told her, pulling her closer. Emma let her little self have another moment. She rested her head against her dad's chest, cuddling into him. Charming smiled down at her. He didn't come and find her, but she did come and find him. Now they could be a family forever.
