Birthmark
Codi asked for another oneshot about Emma having a birthmark. I haven't wrote a chapter about Emma having a birthmark that I can remember. The only thing I can think of is a little line Snow had in "One arm down" referencing her seeing Emma having a birthmark just after she was born so I've based it on that. Hope you enjoy!
Emma came out of the bathroom after her shower feeling nice and fresh. It was good to have that cast off and her arm healed. Made doing things for herself much easier.
"Morning." Her mom said, moving past her in the hall. "Nice shower?" Emma pulled the towel slightly tighter around herself, feeling her cheeks go a little pink.
"Um yeah." She mumbled, embarrassed. Snow looked at her, confused.
"What's the matter Emma?" She asked.
"Nothing." Emma said, heading for her room. She was not having this conversation, particularly in this state of dress.
"Emma." Her mom said in that tone that Emma meant there would be no messing. Sighing, she turned around to face her. She had that look of concern on her face that always made Emma feel a little guilty for making her feel that way. "Please talk to me." Emma shrugged.
"It's just weird you knowing about the birthmark." She mumbled. Snow laughed slightly.
"Oh, you mean the one on your-"
"Yes, I know where it is." Emma cut in. "But you barely saw me when I was a baby. You can understand me being a little freaked out." Snow smiled at her daughter.
"Emma, I knew I wasn't going to get to see you for very long. I was going to memorise every detail of you from the little wisps of gold hair on your head to your tiny little perfect toes. Including what would later be to you embarrassing birthmarks. It's nothing. I'm your mom, had things gone the way they should have I would have seen that mark a thousand times over giving you baths, changing you. It's no big deal. Don't be self-conscious about it." Just then, Charming came up the stairs carrying baby Neal.
"Sorry, the little man needs fed." He said, passing him to Snow. He could see the looks on both their faces. "Oh, sorry, have I interrupted something?" Both shook their heads.
"No, we were just talking about Emma's birthmark."
"Oh, you mean the one on her-"
"Right!" Emma said, flinging her hands in the air in embarrassment. "Must we discuss this, really?" She added, storming into her bedroom. Snow and Charming burst into fits of laughter.
"Still providing her with those traumatic childhood memories." He said with a grin. Snow nodded.
"Still impressive at this stage in the game."
