"Snow?" James cried running into our room two weeks later he'd come from a meeting with the war council I screamed as another contraction hit me of all the times for our child to come she'd chosen now. Doc handed James a wet cloth for my forehead

"She's almost ready sir" he said James smiled gripping my hand and blotting my head

"She's almost here," he whispered as another contraction hit me.


Hours later we were handed a small bundle named Emma

"Look at her James!" I said as she slept in my arms

"She's beautiful." James kissed my forehead.

"Here let me take her, you rest" he said taking Emma from my arms I felt a pang of sadness that I couldn't explain it felt like this had happened before but the more I tried to remember the less I could grasp my memories where getting blurrier soon I knew they'd be gone, but I let him take her

"Sleep Darling, we're not going any where." James said reassuringly sinking into a rocker next to my bed smiling at the image of my husband and daughter together I shut my eyes.


I woke up to screaming my eyes snapped open Emma laid in the cradle James must have had brought in from her nursery crying.

"Oh Emma" I sighed picking her up and rocking her

"Shush baby girl you're alright" I whispered Emma's eyes opened like she'd woken up form a dream and was instantly soothed by my presence.

"There all better" I smiled stoking her cheek just then James came it with Doc following him

"I'm telling you Doc she won't quit crying I think something's-" James stopped short when he saw us

"You worry too much Charming," I laughed

"Everything seems fine your Highness" Doc said chuckling before bowing and leaving us alone

"You're awake" I smiled

"You called Doc?" I asked amused

"She wouldn't stop crying I was worried she might be hurt." James said I smiled down at the sweet baby with the green eyes

"I think she was dreaming," I said as James sat next to Emma and me.

"Well what ever it was it's gone now princess" James said tickling Emma under her chin and making her giggle.

"We won't let anything hurt you Emmy." James smiled

"Emmy?" I asked

"Did I not mention I gave her a pet name?"

"A pet name? That's more like a prison sentence!" I said

"Well I like it." James said

"Men, you really know nothing of children." I said kissing him soundly.
