Disclaimer: I don't own Once Upon a Time
AN: We saw the few moments that Emma and Hook had in 6x1, before the airship sailed into Storybrooke from the Land of Untold Stories. But we didn't see Snow and David. Here's a little one shot of them spending a few moments together with baby Neal.
A little introspective as we build up to the Spring premiere. Have a prompt? Leave it in a review and I'll see what I can do.
Please consider leaving a review. Feedback is much appreciated.
Once Upon a Snowing
Whole Again
"And this is Granny's," David said, as they filed into the diner.
"What an interesting town. It seems so quaint," Jekyll mentioned, as Granny came out of the back.
"Don't let that fool you. It's pretty rare if we get a quiet moment around here," David mentioned.
"There's my baby boy," Snow cooed, as she eagerly took him from Granny.
"Thank you so much, Granny. I know we've relied on you so much lately," Snow said.
"You know I love watching him. I just hope his mama and papa get a break soon, huh?" she asked. Snow nodded.
"I really hope so too," she agreed.
"Who's the new guy?" Granny asked.
"Oh, this is Dr. Jekyll," David said.
"A pleasure Madam," he said politely.
"Jekyl...like Jekyll and Hyde?" Granny asked wearily.
"Yes, but not to worry. I separated myself from Hyde and we left him back in the Land of Untold Stories," Jekyll explained.
"Uh huh…" Granny said, glancing at Snow and David.
"It's true. Jekyll helped us escape Hyde and then used his serum. We found a portal and ended up in New York," David explained.
"Then Regina used the serum to separate herself from the Evil Queen," Snow added, as Granny stared at them.
"Well, okay then. Let's get you something to eat, Doctor," she said, as she eyed Snow and David.
"And you two are gonna tell me this story, but for now, you spend some time with your baby," she said. Snow nodded with a smile, as she kissed Neal on the head.
She sighed and leaned back against David, as she felt him wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her head and then Neal's. Their baby flailed his arms and babbled.
"Yes...Mommy and Daddy missed you too, sweetie," Snow cooed.
"No more separations, little man," David added.
"Is it too much to hope that that's true?" Snow asked.
"No...it's time for this family to be whole again," he replied with determination. Snow's eyes shined with love for him, as he lowered his lips to hers, kissing her tenderly. He held her in his gaze for several moments once their lips parted and she gazed back, caressing him with a look.
"What do you say we have Granny pack some dinner up and we take it home. A quiet little evening with our baby," he suggested.
"That sounds like the most wonderful thing I've heard in a long time," she replied.
"I'll have Granny wrap us up something," he said, as he kissed her cheek.
"Mmm...then after Neal goes to bed, we can have our own alone time," she whispered sultrily in his ear. He grinned and kissed her again.
"And have each other for dessert?" he whispered back and she giggled. Their lips met again in several short, but passion filled kisses, as he kept trying to pull himself away from her long enough to put an order in with Granny. So he should have known their bliss would have been shattered by something else going wrong.
The diner trembled, as a shadow passed over town. Commotion erupted in the streets, as it drew the attention of Storybrooke's residents. Snow sighed, as the dwarves hurried in.
"I think we're under attack!" Leroy cried.
"Some flying contraption just few overhead!" Happy added. David sighed and put his jacket back on. So much for the quiet bliss he was hoping for with Snow tonight.
"We better go see," she said dejectedly, as Granny held her arms out.
"Mommy and Daddy will be back soon," she cooed.
"You hope," Leroy commented.
"Easy Leroy, I'm sure we'll handle whatever it is," David said, as Jekyll and the dwarves followed them out.
"Which way was it headed?" David asked.
"Toward the woods on the north end of town," Leroy replied, as they hurried off in that direction. Snow and David were decidedly disappointed that their peace had barely lasted ten minutes...
