This chapter is especially dedicated to OncerSware(k)JateBazeGirlscout22, there's a little inside joke for you;)

James rolled over on his side and began to play with Snow's hair. She gave a soft yawn and her breathtakingly green eyes fluttered open. James looked at her lovingly, "Good morning darling," he murmured burying his face in her hair.

Snow put her hand on his bare chest, "And the same to you Prince Charming. What time is it?" she asked and snuggled close to him.

James wrapped his arms around her protectively. "Nine-thirty. Can we stay like this, all morning?" he asked hopeful.

Snow giggled and pulled away from him playfully, "Nope sorry James. I'm starving!"

James sat up and began to climb out of bed, "Alright, how do bacon, eggs, and pancakes sound?"

Snow smiled as she stood up, "Heavenly..." she mumbled. She walked towards the door and turned around to face James, an evil glint in her eye. "Race you to the kitchen," she teased. Snow turned, opened the door and started to run out of the room.

James laughed loudly and sprinted out of their room. He saw Snow opening a cabinet. James ran up behind her and snaked his arms around her waist, kissing her cheek. "Caught you," he whispered in her ear.

Snow giggled, "Yes but I still beat you!"

"We'll see about that," he muttered.

"James..." Snow warned.

James picked Snow up and flung her over his shoulder carrying her to the couch. He set her down gently and began to tickle her playfully. "Who won now Snow?"

Snow tried to stifle her persistent giggles, "I-I di-did!" she said.

"Oh really?" James said sarcastically. He continued to tickle her.

Snow was laughing so hard she was starting to cry, "Alright alright! You won! Can we please make breakfast now?" she pleaded.

James smirked and scooped Snow up bridal style, "Of course darling!" He kissed her forehead, carried her into the kitchen, and set her down on the counter. "I'll make the pancakes and bacon, you make the eggs."

Snow smiled and walked to the fridge, she opened it and pulled out an egg carton. "How many eggs Charming?"

James thought for a moment, "Six," he said nodding his head, "Yeah six."

Snow rolled her eyes, "So you want all twelve Charming?"

James scoffed, "I never said that!"

Snow smirked at her husband, "I know but your intent was perfectly clear to me honey," she teased.

"So maybe I did want you to make the full dozen, but in my defense I'm starving!" he said pouting. As if on cue his stomach growled. "See?"

Snow laughed, "Oh calm down! If you're so hungry get started on your pancakes!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say dearest," he mumbled and got the pancake batter from the pantry. James poured it into a bowl and began to mix it, adding the ingredients as he went.

Five minutes later, James had finished making the batter and was putting strips of bacon onto a skillet. As the bacon sizzled, James watched his wife as she cooked the eggs. He smiled softly as she began to hum their song.

James came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek, "Time stands still beauty in all she is, I will be brave. I will not let anything, take away. What's standing in front of me. Every breath, every hour has come to this," he sung in her ear.

Snow giggled softly and leaned her head against his chest, "Charming," she mumbled as he turned her towards him and pulled her in for a hug.

James lifted her head and blue met green. "I love you for a thousand years Snow, and I'll love you for a thousand more," he said softly.

"And after that?" Snow asked raising her eyebrows teasingly.

"Forever, Snow, I'll love you forever and always." James caressed her face.

Snow stood on her tiptoes and gently placed a soft kiss on his lips. James pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Snow ran her fingers through his hair. They broke apart blushing when they heard someone cough.

There stood Emma in shorts an a tank top, "Oh don't mind me," she said sarcastically and threw her hands in the air. "I've just witnessed my parents making out in our kitchen. Not like I've been eye-raped or anything!"

"Emma, we didn't know you were awake," Snow said quickly her face still flushed.

Emma burst into laughter, "You should see your face! It's not that big of a deal, I just want breakfast!" she teased and winked.

"Well, Emma, you're in luck because your mom and I have made a fabulous breakfast for you!" James said confidently.

"Well aren't you a real Prince Charming," Emma said rolling her eyes as she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a plate from the cabinet. She turned the burner off on the eggs and scooped some onto her plate, grabbed a slice of bacon, and plopped down in a barstool.

"He tries so hard," Snow said and winked at her husband. She grabbed a slice of bacon and sat beside Emma. "Are you meeting Archie this morning Em?"

Emma nodded her mouth full of food. "Mm-hm," she mumbled. Emma swallowed, "Yeah, I'm gonna go by his office later today. I wanted to know if either you or dad, or both of you could come with me?"

Snow nodded, "I'll be there. James do you work today?"

"Yeah, at noon, but I'll be waiting to hear how it goes tonight!" James told them. "Speaking of work, I really need to go get ready..." he said his eyes wide. James turned and ran into the bedroom a piece of bacon in his mouth.

"Is he always like this?" Emma asked biting back a smirk.

"No, it's normally worse when he's late or behind on getting ready. One time, he woke up late for a war council meeting…let's just say that was not a good day," Snow said laughing. "He ended up pouting in his study for about two hours."

Emma covered her mouth trying not to laugh, "Oh wow, never thought I'd see the day my father pouted!"

"Emma honey, I can tell you so many stories about your father that you wouldn't believe! Let's make a deal," Snow said smiling.

"I'm listening," Emma said and took a bite of bacon.

"I'll tell you at least one story every night after James is asleep, if you promise not to tell him. Deal?" Snow held out her hand.

Emma smiled, "Deal!" She shook Snow's hand and grinned. "We should probably get ready as well I guess."

"Probably, last one ready buys lunch after our meeting with Archie?" Snow suggested.

Emma took a final bite of eggs and stood. "It's on." She turned and sprinted to her room to get ready.

Snow laughed and ran into her room to get ready.

So this is WAY overdue and I could come up with a thousand excuses including the fact that finals are coming up in school...but that would just make me look bad so I just hope this chapter made up for it! Loads of Snowing was in this one and not too much Charming family fluff. But next chap will have some cute mother/daughter moments:)
