Trusting mom
Marleyharper asked for a oneshot of Snow stopping Emma from giving up her powers instead of Elsa.
Emma's hand closed around the doorknob. Her heart was pounding in her chest. This was her chance. She could be normal.
"Emma!" A voice called from behind her. Emma kept her hand firmly clamped around the doorknob but turned her head. She saw her mom, panic stricken, in the centre of the room behind her. "Don't do it. Don't get rid of your powers. They're part of you. Your father and I love you just as you are." Snow tried to persuade her. She could see the glaring light coming through the crack in the door behind Emma. She didn't want Emma to go through that door.
"But I'm dangerous!" Emma warned her. The red sparks were dancing menacingly on her hands. "I can't control it anymore. If I get rid of it now it all goes away. I can be part of the family." That statement broke Snow's heart. She started to carefully edge forward, extending her hand. "Emma, you don't need to get rid of your powers to be part of the family. You already are. You're our daughter. You always will be. If you're scared about your powers we'll make sure you get help controlling them. Please, just take my hand…"
"No, I'll hurt you!"
"You won't- trust me. We'll both be ok." Emma was so scared. She just wanted to be loved. She allowed herself to trust her mom. She edged forward too. Emma reached her hand out and grasped onto her mom's. A blast of magic shot out from them both. A wondrous warmth spread through the pair. Emma looked down at her free hand and could see the sparks were gone. She looked back up in shock to see her mom smiling proudly at her. "I told you." She said gently. "I'll never let you get hurt again. You can always trust your father and I Emma. And please, never think you have to change for us. You're perfect as you are." Snow gently tugged on Emma's hand. "Come on, he and Henry will be just about outside now. They both want to see you." Emma eagerly followed her mother, wanting to see her father and son. She had a pretty special way of thanking them for their love in her mind. She'd been reading up on some pretty awesome fireworks spells before things went out of control…
