David kissed Emma's feverish forehead and quietly got up and went into the kitchen. He walked up to Snow as she was cleaning up the kitchen.

"Snow maybe I shouldn't leave when she is so sick." His face so full of concern.

"Charming, she will be ok. I'll watch her and if anything happens I'll call you. You needn't worry." Snow smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay, I just hate leaving her but I guess you are right. I'll still come home early though." He just couldn't stay away long when his thoughts were constantly on little Emma.

Snow smiled at him. She just loved his protective father side.

"Well, I better go now if I still want to get home early. Love you Snow." He said as he gave her kiss. "Call me if anything changes or if you need anything!"

"I will. Love you too. And don't worry." Snow said softly.

"See you later." David said.

"Bye Charming." Snow said as he walked out the door. She decided to finish cleaning the kitchen and then the living room. After an hour she heard whimpering come from her and Charming's room where they put Emma.

Snow walked in the room to see her little girl tossing and turning while still holding her ear. Snow quickly went to her and tried to calm her down.

"Emma, baby, Emma." Snow said as she wiped her forehead with the wet clothe on the side table.

"Noooo, nooo." Emma whimpered and continued to toss and turn.

"Emma, Emma!" Snow said a little more forcefully.

Emma woke up with a start and opened her eyes. "Mommy?"

"Yes Baby." Snow softly said.

Her little face scrunched up again as she held her ear, "Mommy, I no feel good." She cried.

"What hurts baby?" Snow asked.

"My ear-a, my head and my tummy mommy." Emma explained.

"I'm going to go get the thermometer. I'll be right back." Snow said and before she left she lifted the blanket over Emma.

"Nooo Mommy, I hot." Emma complained and kicked her blanket down.

Snow put a light sheet on her and then went to go get the medicine and thermometer. She was starting to get worried. She quickly came back to Emma's side.

"Here baby, open your mouth for Momma." Emma obeyed and they waited for the thermometer to beep. While they waited Snow smiled at Emma while brushing a few stray blonde locks from her forehead. She felt her forehead as well and tried to hide the concern on her face. The thermometer finally beeped and Snow took it and read the temperature. It read 102.1.

Snow sighed. It was getting higher. If it got any higher they would have to take her to the doctor. Which would be a nightmare for Emma. She wasn't exactly fond of doctors.

Snow got a cup of water and Emma's medicine out. "Here Emma, take some more medicine. It will make you feel better." Snow gently said.

"Mommy it's icky." Emma mumbled unhappily.

"Emma, you need to take it if you want to get better." Snow explained in a slightly stern voice. "Take it like a good girl."

Emma sighed but obeyed. She made a distasteful face when she swallowed the medicine.

"Here drink some water." Snow handed her the cup and noticed out tired her daughter looked. "Why don't you try and get some more sleep honey."

"Mommmmmy" Emma whined. She was clearly irritable from not feeling good.

"Emma, no arguments." Snow commanded sternly.

Emma looked down and a stray tear fell from her eyes, "Mommy no leave?" She shyly asked quietly.

Snow smiled and lifted Emma's chin, "Of course, I'll be right here baby. Now close your eyes."

"Otay Mommmy." She mumbled and soon was sleeping.

Snow sat against the headboard on the other side of the bed. She took her phone out and messaged David.

Hey Charming,

Emma woke up a little while ago. She was feeling worse than before it seems. I checked her temperature and it was 102.1. I gave her some more medicine so I hope that will bring her fever down.

Hey Snow,

Poor thing. I hate that she is so sick. Her temperature is getting pretty high. If the medicine doesn't bring it down do you think we should take her to the doctor?

Charming,

Yea, if it doesn't I think we should. I'm getting concerned. She is sleeping right now but she is very restless. I'm hoping it's not an infection because she needs an antibiotic if that is the case.

Snow,

Give her a kiss for me. Keep me posted. If her temperature doesn't

go down or goes up in an hour I'll come home immediately and we will take her.

Charming,

Ok, I will keep you posted. Love you Charming!

Snow,

Love you too Snow. See you in awhile. Take care of our princess!

Snow put the phone on her side table and quietly got up trying not to wake Emma. She went into the kitchen to get a cold wet clothe. She wanted to get her fever down. She sat gently on the side of the bed by Emma and put the cold compress on her daughter's forehead. Emma was again tossing and turning.

After about 20minutes Snow decided to make herself some tea. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Emma coming out of the room one hand on her ear and the other on her stomach. Snow turned to her concerned, "Emma, are you alright?" Emma's face looked flushed.

"Mommm, I no…" Emma got out before she ran to the bathroom. Snow quickly followed. Emma threw up. Snow held her hair back and rubbed her back.

"There, it's ok Emma." Snow comforted her as she was sick and crying. "There it's all over now. Let's get you cleaned up, Baby." Snow cleaned her up.

"I tired Momma." Emma complained and tried to stand by herself. She took a few steps and lost her balance. Snow caught her before she fell.

"Baby, easy, you are just not having a good day, huh? Let's get back in bed." Snow gently said.

Emma nodded and Snow lifted her up and carried her to bed.

"There snuggle down in there." Snow put the sheet around her. Emma rubbed her ear and closed her eyes. Snow could tell she was so tired but she could tell Emma wasn't sleeping. "I'll be right back sweety." Snow kissed her on her forehead.

Snow didn't get far before Emma was calling her name, "Mommmmmy."

Snow came back in the room, "What is it baby?"

"My ear hurts and I can'tt sleep Mommmy. Where's Daddy?" Emma cried.

"I'm sorry, Baby. Daddy is at work but he'll be home in a couple hours. How about we put you on the couch and see how you do there. You want to watch your show Full House?" Snow asked.

Emma's eyes lit up, "Yea, Mommy!"

Snow decided to put Emma on the couch so she could keep an eye on her. She put a bucket next to the couch and turned one of Emma's Full House on.

Snow got Emma settled and decided it wouldn't hurt to take her temperature again. It was at least an hour since the last time. "Emma, open your mouth please."

Emma was cuddled up on the couch with her little bear when Snow walked up to her. "Agin?" Emma whined.

"Yes, open up." Snow said.

Snow noticed Emma was shivering and grabbed an extra blanket. The thermometer beeped and Snow looked at it. 102.7. This was not good. She decided to call Charming. It was 3pm now. She went into the kitchen so Emma wouldn't hear but she still could watch her. She grabbed her phone and dialed David's number.

"Hey Snow, How is Emma?" Charming asked

"Hey Charming, I'm afraid she's not doing too well. She threw up a little while ago and her temperature as gone up." Snow explained.

"What is her temperature?" Charming asked concerned.

"102.7. It's getting too high. It's got to be an ear infection causing this." Snow said worried.

"I'll be home as soon as I can." Charming said.

"She is going to hate this." Snow grimaced.

"Well, she needs too, whether she likes doctors or not. It's what is best for her. I love you and I'll be home soon to help." Charming gently said.

"You're right. I'll see you soon. Love you too. Bye." Snow smiled and hung the phone up. This was not going to go over well with her dear little daughter.
