Difficult birth

A guest asked for a oneshot of Emma's birth being more complicated than on the show. She can't breathe on her own at first and needs her parents' help to breathe. We're pretending Doc wasn't there.

The circumstances surrounding Emma's birth were horrendous enough. The last thing her parents needed was for any complications…but Emma was born to cause trouble.

As Snow brought Emma into the world collapsing around them with one final push, Snow expected to hear the sound of her daughter's first cries…but nothing. Silence. Snow and David looked at each other in alarm.

"She's not breathing!" Snow cried out. David went into autopilot. He'd helped birth lambs at the farm who couldn't breathe. He quickly cut the cord and carried Emma over to the bedside table. "What are you doing? Bring her back!" Snow demanded, panicking. David ignored her for the time being. He was Emma's only hope. He placed her carefully flat on her back. He opened her little mouth and used what little experience he could from his farming days to help clear her throat. He was right. It was all blocked up. As soon as he had cleared it, the tiny infant spluttered and began to cry. Neither parent thought they'd be so thrilled to hear their baby cry. David quickly brought Emma back over to the bed and bundled her in her blanket before passing her to Snow, who clung to her daughter for dear life. She kissed the top of her head, tears building behind her eyes.

Now there was still one major decision left for the new parents. Had the shock birth scared them enough to backtrack on their plans, or could they still send their daughter through the wardrobe?
