Emma's baby picture

Inlovewiththecharmings asked for a oneshot of Emma giving her parents a picture of her as a baby she just recently remembered she had. They're very touched and say she's the most beautiful baby they've ever seen. Set pre-Neal.

As they day loomed when Emma would finally leave the loft apartment and move into her own place in Storybrooke, it was time for her to sort through the few things she had and see what was worth keeping and what wasn't. True, Emma wasn't exactly a hoarder, but Even she had a couple of things she was holding onto unnecessarily.

While Emma was going through this process, she found a folder she'd been given on her release from the foster care system. It was her information folder. It was mostly a load of gobbledygook, but there was the old endearing piece of schoolwork. Even more rare, a photograph. The earliest of which dating back to her time with the Swans. She guessed she must have been around three months old? Well, Emma had no particular use for old pictures of herself, but she knew who did. Emma took the whole folder down with the picture in the front and placed it on the kitchen counter.

"I'm still clearing out, but I found this old folder from my last social worker. I thought you guys might want to look at some point. It has some old pieces of schoolwork and a couple of pictures here and there…" Emma was hardly finished saying it when both her parents were over like lightning. Emma smiled. She guessed they did want to see.

Of course, the first thing they both saw was her baby picture from the Swans.

"Look at you." Snow breathed, looking down at her gorgeous little girl.

"You're so beautiful." Charming added in awe. Emma blushed.

"I look like any other baby does at that age. Chubby and dribbly." Emma joked, not liking all the positive feedback she was getting. It was a little much. Her parents came over and each gave her a hug.

"But the chubbiest and dribbliest of them all." Charming teased back. Emma grinned nervously. She could take that.

"Definitely the chubbiest and dribbliest." Snow added, cottoning on to the code for cutest.

Snow and David spend the rest of the day looking through the file with a fine toothed comb. This was all they would ever have of Emma's childhood, and they would treasure it always.
