One still sleeps- part 3
Soprano Pixie asked for a oneshot of a third and final instalment following on from Ch2823 "One still sleeps- part 2" where Snowing use Emma's sleeping state to relive parts of her childhood, as such.
She looked almost peaceful as she slept. Almost like she was just resting. Almost like there wasn't a ticking time bomb above her head counting down the seconds until she would never wake up again.
Snow and Charming both knew there was limited things they could do to help the effort to find a cure to wake her up. Instead, they spent their time looking after her as she slept. It was harrowing to see her with an IV drip going into her arm, but needs must to make sure she got the nutrients she needed. It might also help put off the curse killing her. Snow would sit behind Emma, resting her head on a cushion on top of a footstool to do her hair to keep it out of her face. She would also give it a wash at least once a week. Snow knew Emma hated it when her hair got greasy. Charming would sit with her for hours at a time and tell her stories from his and Snow's adventures back in the Enchanted Forest. He could swear sometimes Emma smiled at him, but perhaps it was just his mind playing tricks on him. What he wouldn't give to see that beautiful smile properly again. It was only complete by the way it could make her brilliant green eyes light up.
Sure, they were getting to do things with Emma they might not get to do if she were awake. However, the downside to that was that they weren't actually getting to spend proper time with Emma. They just hoped Regina and the others found a cure soon. They missed their baby girl.
