Adoption- part 3

sofi asked for a oneshot of a continuation following on from Ch2523 "Adoption- part 2" where Emma gets pregnant and needs to reassure her daughter that they won't send her back.

I've purposely wrote it this way because don't think I haven't noticed all the people sneaking in other characters (extra OCs like Isabella, Killian, Red, etc.) into requests. This story remains for mainly the 5 listed, and al oneshots should really have interaction between at least 2 of them. People get cranky with me when I put in OCs. Then again whatever I write somebody gets cranky so hey ho lol.

"Ok, now before I tell you this, I need you both to stay calm."

"Alright…" Charming promised. Snow just nodded earnestly by his side. She was squeezing his hand tightly. She thought she knew what was coming.

"I'm pregnant." Emma announced. Snow squealed in delight. She was right! She and Charming both got up, embracing Emma.

"Congratulations, sweetheart." Charming said proudly, kissing her forehead. Emma smiled.

"Thanks. Although I didn't just come to tell you, I came to ask some advice."

"Pregnancy advice?" Snow asked. Emma shook her head.

"Not exactly." Emma explained. Intrigued, Snow and Charming sat back down either side of Emma. "You guys didn't exactly get to tell me gently when you were pregnant with Neal." Snow said. "But I do get that opportunity with Henry and Isabella. It's more Isabella I'm worried about. I've been her. We both know that when you're taken out the system and the mom gets pregnant, there's a high chance you're going right back in." Emma explained. Snow and Charming nodded. It still pained them both to know that's how Emma got taken out of what was supposed to be a loving home. "Of course she's not going anywhere. She's my daughter and I love her. But I know how she'll react. I just wondered if you had any advice?" Emma asked. Snow and Charming sat back, thinking for a moment.

"Well, even after Neal was born, we tried to make sure you were as actively involved as you wanted." Charming explained. "Babysitting, day trips, whatever you wanted. We knew you'd feel the same, even though you were a little bit older when you became a big sister." Charming pointed out. "Give Isabella the same opportunities. Let her help design the nursery, making it clear it isn't her room. Make her involved in the name picking process. We did that in a more unique way than most families." Charming said with a chuckle. Emma smiled. She supposed they did.

"Let her do some designing for things, drawings on the nursery wall and such like." Snow also suggested. Emma nodded slowly, mulling the suggestions over. "What's most important, is that you continually remind Isabella how loved she is, by all of us. As long as she has that, she'll be ok."

"Yeah." Emma said quietly. "I guess I'm just one of life's worriers. Thanks guys. I'm glad I came here."

"So are we." Charming said, kissing the side of her head. He and Charming then grinned at each other. They were going to be grandparents!
