Hey guys so the last chapter was getting long so this will continue on to Christmas Morning
First Real Christmas
"Do you want me to take it from here?" He asked as they walked into the loft but she shook her head. Emma was heavy of course, she was thirteen. But Snow didn't care.
"No I got her. I want to tuck my baby girl into bed. You need to start wrapping her gifts away " She said with a smile. She carried her to her room and placed her in her bed. She pulled Emma's blanket up and was about to leave when a tug came to her arm.
"Mom can I talk to you for a second please..." Emma whispered tiredly. Snow sat down on the bed and looked at her. Emma had opened her eyes completely. " When I was there with dad, I couldn't actually have girl talk with him and there was something I was dying to talk about..." Emma began. Snow stroked her head as she talked excited that Emma felt she could talk to her.
"Trust me I understand Em, he isn't exactly the right women for the job. " She teased. Emma chuckled. She closed her eyes slightly but was still awake. She then looked at her mother again a bit nervous.
" Well... at first I thought I wouldn't get them ever...most girls got them already before my age but then right before I broke the curse I noticed they were coming in.. and..." She trailed off. Snow kissed her head and nodded realizing what she meant.
"We can go shopping after tomorrow when the stores are open, sweetheart. For now get some sleep, Em. " She said and Emma looked shock. She couldn't believe she was going to help her. She was so nervous. Snow could sense it. She stroked her cheek. " I will always do anything for you Emma. Always. Now goodnight. You won't get gifts if you are awake. " She said before she got up and tucked her in. It didn't take her long to drift off.
"Wake up Emma! Time for Presents!" Snow and Charming called as they entered Emma's room. She popped up quickly. She was smiling ear to ear. She couldn't believe this was real. She couldn't believe at the age of thirteen she had parents who cared and loved her. She bounced out her bed and ran by them. Her father bent down with his back facing her. She leaped on without another word.
"Merry Christmas!" Emma said loudly as she hang on him. He walked downstairs. Snow followed them with the hugest smile on her face.
"Merry Christmas Em. This is the best day eve. " Snow said as she helped her down so Emma could sit next to her present. She turned to face them and they looked confused.
" Thank you. You didn't have to do this. I am old enough to understand that only kids get gifts. " She said as she glanced at the pile of gifts. They smiled.
"Emma wanted to do this. You are our child. We missed thirteen Christmas. We wanted to make up for it. Your deserve so much. We know you are still adjusting. We will be patient. But please let us spoil you. We love you." Snow said. Emma hugged them both.
"It is still new to me. I will get there. I love you two so much though. " She said and turned back to her gifts. It took her a while but she managed to open them all. She was in a puddle of tears by the end of it. She couldn't believe they got her all of this. She was just so surprised. "Now time for you guy gifts!" She said happily. She ran to grab to boxes. Charming was surprised to see two. He had no idea she got him something. She smiled.
" When you had time to get me something?" Charming asked. Snow smirked. Emma chuckled as she handled both them their gifts.
" I had some money saved so when you went to the bathroom I got your gift. Don't worry about that, just open them!" Emma said happily. Snow opened hers first. It was the locket. On the front it said I love you, mom. Then on the inside was a picture of Emma when she was three years old. Snow busted into to tears. She scooped Emma up and held her tight.
"You have no idea how this makes me feel. This is the best gift ever." Snow said kissing her all over. Emma squirmed out her arms chuckling.
"Mom!" She protested. Then it was Charming's turn. His gift was similar. However his was a pocket watch that on the top said daddy's little prince and in the inside had a different picture of Emma when she was bit older, around six years old. Charming shared the same expression. " I want you guys to have something that was a piece of my childhood. I only have a bag of a few of my things from my childhood. These pictures were part of them including my baby blanket. " She said.
"Em, theses are the best gifts we could have ever gotten. " Charming said. Both of them hugged her and held her close. " Well I take that back having you and your mother back is the best gift ever. " Charming added. After that him and Snow exchanged gifts. But both had to attempt no gift was better than having Emma back into their lives. After gift opening they all sat down for hot chocolate with cinnamon.
"This has to be the best Christmas ever. " Snow said. She pulled Emma up to her side and Charming wrapped his arms around his girls. " Let's end the night in a movie. " Snow added. And with that they did. Christmas day came to a great end. All of them knew that the peace would only last so long so they would live in the moment.
And I will end this Chapter here as it was a continue from the last one. I know these two chapters were circled around the Charming family but I wanted a good peaceful chapter with them. I figure a good Christmas chapters would be good. But next chapters we will back to some good events. So come back for more! :)
