Authors Note: This is basically Snowing fluff. I wanted to give my favorite couple one perfect day. Which we will never get to see on the small screen because it would probably cause all the non shippers to tune out and the ratings would fall and that would be tragic.

As mentioned in pervious chapters, I do not own these characters. I only adore them and the world in which they live and wanted to play in that world for a while.

Chapter 3: To Treasures Lost and Found

As they drove back into town, Snow looked out of the window, lost in thought.

Charming reached over and took a hold of her hand and raised it to his lips to kiss the inside of her wrist.

"Shouldn't you keep both hands on the wheel?" She asked skeptically as she rose an eyebrow.

"The speed limit is all of 15 miles per hour, the road is straight and there is no other traffic. I think we are safe," He gave her a giddy smile.

They were both still having a hard time believing that they had found each once again.

"If we had our carriage and driver, we would not have to worry about traffic," She sighed.

A satisfied smile crossed his face, "If we had a driver, we could not have possibly have done half the things we did this afternoon."

Snow Sighed, "I suppose not." She conceded him that very important point. Having servants around had a way of putting a damper on your love life.

"Will you be unhappy here without the places and fine clothes?" A worried look crossed his face.

"Not necessarily," A pensive look had crept into her eyes. "Since the curse was broken, I do wonder why we are still in this land?"

He was just as puzzled as she was, "Maybe there is nothing to go back to in our own world. Maybe this is where we belong now. There are things in this world that anchor us here. For one thing, if we went back, what would become of Emma and Henry?"

Snow hadn't thought of it in those terms.

He glanced at her quickly with concern in his eyes.

"If we are stuck here, I will spend every day of my life trying to make you as happy and comfortable as possible. If you want nicer clothes that is what you shall have. If you don't like the way I drive, we will hire a driver. It might get a little crowded in this front seat though. We may have to take your car," He shrugged. "I may not be able to build you a palace though."

She burst out laughing, "I think we can manage to be happy without all of the royal trimmings. Can you imagine me trying to teach a class in some of the outfits I dressed in right after we were married?"

"I have seen how some of your male students look at you as it is, but they would fall head over heels in love with you," He grinned. The girls would all want to borrow your clothes. You are beautiful regardless of how you dress. "He whispered with heartfelt sincerity. "Snow, I will give you your happy ending if it takes me the rest of my life."

"Wherever you, Emma and Henry are, that is where I will find my happy ending, "Snow smiled. Besides, Fancy clothes are not all always that comfortable," She admitted. "Day and day out we had to dress the part of the Prince and Princess. Didn't you ever want to throw on something woolen and go tend sheep?"

"Heard, you heard sheep." He gave her a puzzled look.

He had never told her about his true past. Whenever he had tried to tell Snow about his mother or his past, she had always redirected the conversation. There was no time like the present though and he was going to tell her everything.

He pulled the truck over to the side of the road and turned towards his wife.

"Snow, there is something I need to tell you…" He never got the chance to finish.

"I did like the leather outfit. I never got tired of you wearing that." She said seductively as she reached over and placed her hand on his knee. She then proceeded to run her hand up to his thigh. All rationally thought evaporated from his head like mist on a sweltering day.

"I liked it particularly on our wedding night," She continued as she used her thumb to make little circles on the inside of his thigh.

He was glad that he had pulled the truck over because if she was trying to distract him, she was doing an excellent job.

"Do you remember our wedding night, Charming?" She asked, her voice was a smooth as silk.

"We were just talking about it less than an hour ago," He reminded her. "Of course I remember our wedding night. You tormented me mercilessly that night." He gasped. She had swung one leg over his and was almost in his lap. He found himself wondering when his wife had been replaced by the Siren from the Lake. She was clearly trying to seduce him and he was not sure why she had chosen then and there to make her move.

"Poor Charming, you sure suffered that night," She let out a little laugh.

His mind drifted back to their wedding. The plan had been to say their vows, stay for a few dances at the ball afterwards and then the two of them were going to discreetly disappear into a waiting carriage that would sprint them away to the Summer Palace where they were to spend their wedding night. After Regina made her uninvited appearance, he and Snow had made the mutual decision not to leave their guests until after the ball and the feast. By the end of the festivities, the fancy clothes that Charming had worn for the wedding felt like a prison.

"I had to politely sit there through 7 speeches by 7 dwarfs each one more droning than the next, when all I really wanted to do was get you alone, get you out of that dress and make you my wife in every way possible. How were 7 short men capable of giving such long speeches?" He groaned at the memory.

"Those 7 men are some of my dearest friends," She chastised him. "They took care of me during one of my darkest hours."

"Then, when the never ending dinner and ball finally ended, 28 hours later, I had to sit across from you in our carriage and graciously keep my hands to myself, when what I really wanted to do was ravish you right there on the spot," He grumbled. "The only saving grace was that you had given me time to change out of my wedding outfit and into my traveling clothes, the black leather outfit of which you seem to be so found."

"The wedding feast and ball only lasted a few of hour, not 28, and it did not take us that long to get to the Summer Palace," She reminded him. "Besides, you could not ravish me on the spot, not with the driver and the footmen within hearing distance. It would have not been proper."

"Halfway through the journey, I was ready to toss propriety out the carriage window and into the river," He sighed. Then, when we finally reached the Summer Palace, you made me wait what seemed like hours while you changed clothes!"

"Was I worth the wait?" She asked skeptically.

"You are always worth the wait," He smiled wistfully.

"I think I made it pretty clear multiple times that night I much I appreciated you and how much I loved the leather outfit, "She gave him an beholden look. "I really liked that leather outfit after it got wet a time or three. Every time it got wet it got a little tighter and I liked it even more."

She swung her other leg over his and leaned up to kiss him.

He moved her leg back on the other side of the seat and gave her a teasing look.

"So, now we come to the real reason that you threw me in the river the first time we met, you wanted to see my outfit shrink!" He grinned knowingly.

"You caught me." She shrugged, but her eyes shined with laughter.

"I will always catch you. You cannot hide anything from me." He replied with a challenging tone in his voice.

She smiled at him innocently.

He wondered if it was really true. Charming was certain that she had just skillfully redirected his thinking and distracted him just enough to keep him from mentioning his past.

They used David's key on the door of the Storybrooke Pet Shelter, but Snow was distracted by all of the birds and they decided to skip that location. She felt as if they would be like making love in front of an audience. She promised to go back the next day and free them all, after finding them good homes of course.

The sun had set and the moon was just rising. Eerie shadows danced across the storefront windows in the deserted downtown area. They walked across the street and Snow picked the lock to the door of the pawn shop.

"Have you ever been in here?" Charming asked.

"No, I never had any reason." Snow answered honestly. In reality, Mr. Gold had always scared Mary Margaret. She had tried to stay out of his way as much as possible.

Charming looked around the room, searching for one thing in particular and was shocked to realize it was no longer in the shop. The unicorn mobile that had hung over Emma's crib had been there the last time he had visited. Now the mobile was missing.

"Charming, is everything alright?" Snow could tell be the troubled expression on his face that something was wrong.

There was no point in mentioning it to his wife, it would only be another reminder or everything that they had lost.

"Everything is fine," He replied. The truth was that everything was more than fine. His life was almost perfect.

Are you sure this is a good idea?" She asked nervously as she stood at the threshold of the shop.

"You mean because of who owns this shop?" He asked. "I am not afraid of him, Snow. Plus, I think I saw my sword the last time I was here." He moved into the shop and started to look around.

Snow stood at the doorway with her hands on her hips.

"They say that is a clear sign of insecurity when a man is that obsessed with his sword," She grinned.

"I am not obsessed!" He turned back to her. "Was that supposed to be sexual?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"You figure it out." She gave him an innocent look as she rocked back and forth on her heels.

"You are such a temptress." He grinned again as he pulled her into the dark room.

"You are a bad influence on me. How many laws have we broken today? Snow asked wide eyed.

"Too many laws and counting." Charming laughed.

Snows eyes started to adjust to the dark and as they did the objects in the vast shop began to take shape. Her breath caught in her throat as she started to recognize objects.

"That is my dressing table and your chest of drawers. My god, that is our bed!"

She was angry now. "How is it possible that he has our things?" She asked, breathlessly.

"I think he had something to do with the curse." Charming replied.

"And yet, you are really not afraid of him?" Snow asked.

"No, there is no way he can hurt us." Charming casually replied.

"Even though he has magic now?" Snow shivered at the thought.

"We have magic. Are love is stronger than any sleight of hand or simple sorcery. It has also proven time and again to be stronger than any curse. We always find each other and that seems to be a family trait."

She gave him a puzzled look.

"Henry read a storybook that you gave him and was able to figure out that all of it was real," He continued. "He was able to find Emma and she in turn, was able to find us. That is some pretty powerful magic." There was a serious tone in his voce, which had trailed off to a whisper.

"You certainly have a way with words," She gave him one of her patented heart melting smiles. "I think it may be one of your most Charming traits."

He took her hand and led her towards the center of the room where their furniture was laid out in perfect order.

"I wonder if our bed is still as comfortable after 28 years. What married couple can claim to have the same bad after nearly 30 years of marriage?" He bounced down on the bed.

"The springs are still good," He announced as he pulled her down towards him and gently laid her upon the billowy comforter.

She raised a quizzed eyebrow.

"Here?" She inquired.

The sparkle in his eyes was her answer. "Unless you have had enough of me for one day?"

She thought for a moment, she was starting to ache a little, but it was nothing compared to the ache she felt at being apart from the man she loved for so long. Besides, he challenged her with a sexy grin and his blue eyes twinkled like diamonds in the sky.

She felt her heart melt. True to his nickname, her husband was devastatingly charming when he was playing the rouge. She wanted him, right then and there in the den of equity of their second oldest enemy.

Snow White pulled Prince Charming beside her kissed him with a fiery passion and he had his answer.

Sometime later, as moonlight streamed through the window of the pawn shop, she laid her head on his shoulder and sighed. "As comfortable as I am here with you in our bed is and as wonderful as it is to be her in your arms, we can't stay here." He kissed her neck, but he also agreed.

As they got dressed, Snow stated, "We still have the problem of where we are going to live, I doubt Emma wants to live with her parents and the walls in your room at Granny's are so thin. It is nearly as bad as living in a palace." Snow sighed.

"I have been thinking about that, I would like to buy the cabin in the woods. I know it is small, but we could add to it and I know how much you always loved living by the water."

"I love that idea. I have a confession to make. I have snuck out to the cabin by myself a few times this past year. I always felt at peace there. I would love to live there," Snow gleefully replied.

"Also, Tomorrow morning I am marching right in here and buying back everything in this store that is ours." Charming vowed

Snow laughed ,"That is noble, my love. However, unless David Nolan had some secret stash of money, I don't think we can afford to buy a single tea cup in this shop, much less all of our furniture. I have been a school teacher for 28 years and you work at the pet shelter." She frowned. "How are you going to buy the cabin, come to think of it?"

"I have ways of taking care of my family," Charming said softly. "The Queen and Rumplestilskin are not the only ones who were able to bring things with them from our realm." He cryptically admitted.

Before she could press him farther, they saw a light outside of the shop window and heard the door knob turn.

As they bolted out the back door Charming looked back and noticed how crumpled they had left the bed covers and a smile crept across his face.

In the alley behind the shop he stood on one foot trying to put on his shoes while his wife laughed at his efforts. They had made it to another alley without getting caught by whoever had come into the pawn shop.

"That was close." He said.

"Too close." Snow admitted. Do you think it was Mr Gl…er Rumplestilskin?" She asked.

"Hard to tell, I didn't get a good look at them and luckily, I don't think they saw us."

She gave him a sly look. "It is kind of exciting though. A bit of a turn on to almost get caught…"

She bit her bottom lip.

This was a new side to his wife. He always knew she had a sense of adventure, but their love life had been rather subdued back in fairytale land. Passionate and fulfilling as it had been, he couldn't help but wonder if he had been too laid-back with her once she had become his wife.

Maybe it was the alley that was bringing out this side of Snow or maybe she had been up to a few things while he was in the coma. Either way, he wasn't going to let this new side of his wife go to waste.

"There are lot of people I feel like paying back for keeping me and my true love apart," He admitted.

Yes, revenge was much better when it was steaming hot and he and Snow had a few more stops to make on their payback tour.

"Do I know this true love of yours?" Snow asked innocently.

"I think you might know her. Hair dark as night, lips red as blood, skin white as snow. Does that ring any bells?" He teased as he ran his thumb across her lips. "I just hope that she has the stamina to keep up."

Snow gave him a challenging look, "Dear, you are the one doing all the work."

"How long do you think I am going to let you get away with that?" He gave her a sideways glance. "There are a couple scenarios from our wedding night that I am looking forward to recreating."

He placed his arms around her neck and leaned in for a kiss.

She put both hands on the sides of her hips and pulled back, "Find yourself a black leather outfit and we will talk about it." She gave him a sultry pout.

Before he could respond, the back door of the pawn shop opened. They took off out of the alley at a run, holding hands like two adolescents nearly caught making out on the front porch.
