Crackers- part 2
avc.382 asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch2969 "Crackers" where Emma gets embarrassed with her mom for shouting for them to share their snacks during a royal meeting.
Emma had decided that active royal duty really wasn't going to suit her. It was never something she had grown up with. She didn't feel like a princess, and didn't particularly want to be one. Being the Saviour was bad enough sometimes with the amount of pressure some people put on her. Nah, she would stick to being a kickass sheriff. Snow and Charming both understood and respected Emma's decision not to take an active part in the royal side of town. Besides, she had plenty of time to change her mind, if she ever chose to do so. It just meant when royal meetings were taking place in the family home, Emma took on the role of watching her baby brother instead. A situation everyone was happy with.
During one such meeting, Neal began to get fussy. Since Emma still lived with her family, she was very in tune with her brother and what his different noises meant. She knew this noise (and the hilarious facial expression) that went with it all too well.
"You take after me, little bro." Emma commented, picking Neal up and setting him on her hip. "You get hangry." Emma knew all she had to do was give Neal a snack and that would be him, right as rain. She carried him through to the kitchen, briefly apologising for disturbing the meeting. She opened the fridge and scanned for Neal's snacks.
"Oh, Emma, I think your ritz packet is running low. Make sure you tell me if it gets finished so we can buy some more. I don't think Neal has very many left either." Snow said, whilst she remembered. She didn't even notice how Emma's whole face turned scarlet. It seemed nobody at the meeting cared that Emma was partial to some ritz crackers, but Emma cared that they knew. She grabbed Neal's packet and shuffled quickly back through to the bedroom with them. She really had to buy her own place…and invest in her own secret snack system.
