Lost girl- part 2
Ryla asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch2608 "Lost girl" where Danielle has been with the Charmings for a while and they want to adopt her. They also do some research into adult adoption so Emma can legally be theirs, as well as being Danielle's sister.
It didn't take Snow and Charming long to work out why Emma was so close to Danielle. She was a sweet little girl who, much like Emma herself, just wanted to be loved. Snow and Charming had fallen in love with the little girl. They decided that they wanted to formalise the process of inviting Danielle into their family. But before doing anything, they wanted to discuss the idea with Emma. So they had Granny babysit Danielle so they could discuss it with her.
"So…you want to formally adopt Danielle?" Emma wanted to clarify. She had been happy for her parents to take on a more parental role for the little girl. She and Danielle had always been sisters, Emma didn't want to ruin that relationship by taking on a parental role. Snow and Charming nodded.
"We just wanted to check it out with you first." She explained. Snow sat back for a moment.
"Well…I'm all for it." Emma said. "I'd be happy for Danielle to officially be part of the family." Snow and Charming grinned, delighted. The slid over a few pages of paperwork.
"Here's her adoption papers." Charming explained. "But in looking into them, we realised something." Charming told her. Emma listened carefully. He gave her a warm smile, sliding over another set of adoption papers.
"Why do you need two for on child?" Emma asked her.
"We don't." Charming told her. Emma looked up, confused. "We need a second for you." Emma was now very confused.
"You are, of course, our biological child. But given the unique situation of our family, we have no legal rights to you. We wanted to change that." Charming told her. Emma looked at the papers, shocked. "If you don't want to, we understand, we just wanted to give you the option." Charming added quickly, mistaking her shock for hurt. Emma shook her head, pulling the papers closer to her.
"My whole life, I waited to see a set of these with my name on them." Emma said quietly. She looked up. "I gave up on that dream a long time ago." Snow and Charming nodded, they understood. Emma nodded. "Yes." She told them. Emma laughed. "Yes, I'd like you to adopt me." Snow clapped her hands in joy as both Emma's parents got up and wrapped her in a group hug. She was officially going to be their daughter. She was officially theirs.
