Seeing triple
OnceUponAChloe asked for a oneshot where somebody notices lots of similarities between Emma and her parents, so here it is! FrozenFan5577 I don't know if this isn't exactly what you meant but I hope this will suffice
Red didn't even need to look up when she heard the door opening. The familiar pattern of Snow shuffling her feet on the welcome mat made it easy to tell that it was her. Always two short shuffles with her left foot, and one long one with her right foot.
"Hey Snow." Red said, without looking up from her phone.
"Hey," Snow replied. She made her way over to a booth, Neal in her arms. "David and Emma are coming over from the station at some point. It can be hard for them to give an exact time, they never know what's going to happen so I'll wait for them before ordering."
"Sure thing." Red said, focusing on beating her temple run score.
Red wasn't really paying attention to anything that was going on. The next thing that she was really aware of was Snow's familiar shuffling pattern on the welcome mat.
"Did you have to go out to call them, Snow?" She asked her, still looking at her phone.
"Why would I call them, Red, Emma's right here?" Snow replied. Red's head snapped up. Snow was indeed still in the booth with Neal, it was Emma who had just entered. Red shook her head slightly, that was a little spooky.
"Sorry I'm late mom." Emma said, going over to the booth. She sat down, folding up her jacket and putting it on her knees. Red's eyebrows knitted together. She knew that was a familiar action too, but couldn't remember where from. "Dad will be here in a few minutes he's just parking the car." Snow and Emma chatted for a few minutes, until David arrived.
"Hey." He greeted Snow, coming into the diner. He got into the booth beside Snow and- now Red remembered- took off his jacket, folded it and sat down, putting it on his knees. Red had to hold back a snigger as she came over to take their orders. A mac and cheese with fries for Snow and a burger and fries each for David and Emma.
Red came back when their orders were ready. Again, she had to hold back a laugh at Emma's similarities with her parents. First, she took out the tomato in her burger, in almost near synchronisation with David. Then, she swivelled her plate around so the fries were closest. Just like her mom always did. Snow looked up, feeling her friend's eyes on the family.
"What?" She asked, curious as to why Red was grinning so widely. Red just laughed a little.
"Nothing." She said, walking back to behind the counter. It did make her wonder why nobody noticed these similarities before the curse broke. It was now obvious that these three were related. Even if it wasn't to them!
