Helping hand
Dutchwriter wants a oneshot with Emma giving Snow baby advice from her fake memories with Henry.
"Come on Neal." Snow groaned. "Please stop crying, for mama?" Snow begged. Neal had started teething, and the screaming was relentless. David had gone out to get groceries. They'd done a big shop two days earlier, Snow knew just fine that he couldn't stand the screaming anymore. She knew her little boy was in pain, and that hurt her almost as much as the screaming hurt her head.
"Woh!" Snow heard just over the screaming. She looked over to the entrance of the living room to see Emma standing there. "Somebody's having a bad day, aren't they?" She shouted, just so Snow could hear her. Snow nodded, she put Neal into one arm and used her free hand to point to her teeth. Emma nodded in understanding. She came over to Snow and held her arms out for her little brother.
"Can I hold him for a sec? I think I know something that might help." Snow quickly put Neal into Emma's arms. She'd try anything to stop the screams. Emma walked with Neal into the kitchen and opened the freezer. She pulled out a now frozen teething ring and placed it in Neal's mouth. Almost immediately, the screaming stopped. Snow was gobsmacked, obviously she'd tried a teething ring earlier, but he just wasn't having it. Emma grinned at her shocked look.
"I put this in here a couple of days ago, I thought this might be coming. It's how I got Henry to stop. Well, you know what I mean. I suppose it's more accurately how Regina got Henry to stop." Snow smiled gratefully at her daughter.
"Sweetheart, I owe you big." She told her. Emma could see the bags under her mother's eyes from the sleepless night. Emma nudged her head towards Snow's bedroom.
"Away you go for a nap. I'll look after his royal highness." Snow gave Emma an incredibly relieved smile. She walked over, kissed Neal's head and then Emma's cheek.
"You, are the best daughter ever." Snow told her before heading for her nap. It was weird getting baby tips from her daughter, surely it should have been the other way around? Either way, Snow would take it if it stopped the screaming!
