A/N - these will be shorts, updated daily until Christmas. I've already written several of them - and have most of the story plotted out. Don't know if I'm going to keep up the alphabet theme though. Enjoy!
Blizzard -
An unexpected storm hit Storybrooke on the 2nd. School was cancelled, and Henry was excited to be stuck at home with Emma and his grandparents. As soon as word of the impending storm hit, Killian made the trek back over to the Charming's apartment. If he was going to be snowed in for several days, it was going to be with Emma. He couldn't fathom being inside with only the TV and Ruby and Granny's fighting for days on end.
Everyone was stretched out in the living room; reading, watching TV, playing with the baby, but Henry and Killian were antsy. They had decided Operation Rudolph was a large scale operation, and wanted to bring Mary Margaret and David in on the plan. Unfortunately, they couldn't really discuss anything with Emma sitting in the room with them. Trying to secretly text each other, Emma caught wind.
"Alright you two, what's going on?"
Henry, thinking quickly, said, "Words with Friends, Mom. Just a friendly little game. It's just that I'm winning and you know he's a little more 'Hook' than Killian when he's losing."
"Oi, kid, I'm sitting right here. I'll let you know that dungbie is real word. Despite what this talking phone says." Emma didn't catch the conspiratorial winks exchanged between the two, but Mary Margaret did.
Finally, a call came in requiring the Sheriff's attention, and David didn't want her to be out in the storm alone. As soon as David and Emma left, Mary Margaret was questioning the two.
"What is going on? I could see your screens. You weren't playing Words with Friends."
Henry and Killian started both explaining at once, and Mary Margaret listened with tears in her eyes. She hadn't even thought about this the past few years. Curses and bad guys had always derailed their Christmas festivities, and she was so touched by Killian and Henry's planning. She hadn't always been excited by the pirate's involvement in her daughter's life, but when he did things like this she could tell why Emma loved him so much.
The three started making lists of what needed to be done, and debating what should be next. Henry's vote was for getting a tree as soon as the blizzard ended. He wanted to be able to start wrapping gifts and tucking them under the branches. Maybe if his mom saw that there were presents for her, she'd start to get a little excited. Killian had been online looking up Christmas lights. He wanted to deck everything he could in tiny twinkle lights; the pictures he'd seen reminding him of how the sky looked when he was at sea. Mary Margaret immediately started planning the meals: Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas morning breakfast, and the big meal on Christmas morning. They discussed inviting Regina, to ensure that Henry could be with them to open presents first thing in the morning.
Secretly, Killian was most worried about what to get Emma. He wanted the gift to be so special that it wiped out all memories of the years she received nothing.
