Baby blues

Elizabeth wanted a oneshot with Emma having some quality time with Neal and Snow having some separation anxiety from both of her babies

"So the bottles are in the fridge, and some mac and cheese for you to heat up Emma, diapers laid out with cream and baby wipes…"

"Mom." Emma said, amused. "I got it. I do remember taking care of Henry… well, sort of… either way, I got it. Go to your meetings." Snow sighed. She bent down and kissed Neal, who was nestled in Emma's arms.

"Be good for your sister." She whispered to him. This was the first time she had left him. Snow then reached up and kissed Emma's forehead. "Call me straight away if you need anything." She said seriously. Emma smiled at her.

"I'm sure I can take care of a baby for a few hours." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Snow took hold of her chin, making Emma look at her.

"I don't just mean with Neal. I mean with anything. There are still a lot of people out there who might want to hurt you. I don't like leaving you unprotected…"

"I have magic you know. Pretty powerful stuff at that…" Emma grumbled. Snow sighed.

"I know you do. What I meant was I don't like leaving you both here without one of us to protect you. Your magic might be powerful Em, but not as powerful as my bow or your father's sword should someone try and mess with our children again." At the mention of her husband, Snow became aware of his tapping foot. He was anxious to get going, not wanting to be late. These royal meetings didn't start without them. Snow reluctantly pulled away from Emma, leaving with a gentle stroke of Neal's cheek. "We'll be back soon." She said sadly as she left the house with David. Emma grinned down at her little brother as the front door shut behind them.

"You're a little young for me to pump full of sugar before they return, but what do you say you and I go watch some Mickey Mouse, huh? Might as well get you started on good habits". Emma told him, walking towards the couch.

David looked over to his wife briefly as he drove towards the town hall.

"They'll be fine Snow." He assured her. Snow didn't seem too convinced.

"I know. But I just don't like leaving them. It's the first time I've been away from Neal since Zelena… what if he gets upset? I don't like the thought of him crying and me not being there. And Emma… she's started calling us mom and dad, Charming. I don't know how long that'll last. What if it's only because she hit her head or something when she went back in time? What if she'll snap out of is and suddenly to her I'm Mary Margaret again? I want to be there for her to make sure that never happens…"

"Snow," David interrupted gently. "You're rambling, dear. They'll both be absolutely fine." Snow sighed.

"I guess you're right. But no long speeches at this meeting. I want it finished as quickly as possible." David chuckled at that.

"Deal."

Snow walked briskly to the front door. She quickly pulled out her keys and opened it.

"Emma, we're home!" She called. She waited for a reply, when none came, she immediately became worried. She turned around to face her husband.

"David, something's wrong! They've been taken, someone's hurting them… why on earth are you smiling?!" David nodded over towards the living room, gently turning his wife around. She felt relief wash over her at the sight. Cuddled up on the couch having a snooze together with Mickey Mouse still on the TV were Emma and Neal. Snow grabbed a blanket from the cupboard before tiptoeing over. She gently picked Neal up and settled him in one arm before using the other to drape the blanket over Emma. She kissed Neal's forehead before bending down and gently kissing Emma's.

"Sleep well, my babies."
