Cantaloupe juice
A guest asked for a oneshot of Emma being delirious and drinking from Neal's bottle with Snowing teasing her about it later. Based loosely on the F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode with the breast milk.
Snow and Charming were torn between laughing hysterically and, well, not being quite sure how to react. Emma had been lying on the couch happily chugging down one of the bottles Snow filled for Neal for when she was at work. Clearly Emma had enjoyed her night out a little too much. She had told her parents that the bottle was the first thing she'd found in the fridge. Said it tasted like cantaloupe juice. She wasn't sure exactly what it was but they should buy more. Clearly, she'd been totally unaware that she was drinking from one of her little brother's bottles…and that she was drinking her mother's breast milk. She came down the next morning looking like she was nursing a killer hangover.
"Morning Em." Charming greeted her. He'd already been out to the store and had bought her something special for breakfast- actual cantaloupe juice. Without her being able to see he poured it into a glass and handed it over to her. Gratefully she took a swig. She smacked her lips together thoughtfully.
"Is this the cantaloupe juice I had some of last night? It tastes different…" Snow and Charming couldn't hold it in any longer, they burst out laughing. "What?" Emma asked, not understanding. "What's so funny?"
"Oh Emma, that wasn't cantaloupe juice." Snow said, wiping away a tear from her eye. "Didn't you think it was a slightly weird container you were drinking from? Think about it." Emma thought hard about the previous night. She remembered having the juice, but what was strange about what she's had it from? Then Emma remembered. Her eyes went wide with horror.
"No…" She said, feeling a kind of sick that was nothing to do with her night out last night.
"Oh yeah kiddo." Charming confirmed. Emma covered her mouth, worried she was going to spew everywhere. Charming patted her back. "It's no big deal. It's just milk-"
"Just milk?!" Emma squeaked. "No, it is not just milk. It's milk from mom's…mom's…"
"Mom's breasts?" Snow helped Emma out. Snow couldn't help but laugh at the way Emma's whole face went bright red. "Emma, it's no big deal. It's just breast milk. Besides, there was a reason you found it so nice. My milk is tuned into Neal's needs; they would have been pretty similar to yours. I may as well get tattoos with Emma's on one and Neal's on the other. The milk was designed for both of you." Snow pointed out.
"Yeah, maybe when I was a baby but not when I'm thirty." Emma said, horrified. Charming came over and pulled Emma into a hug.
"Aww, but Emzy's always our little baby!" He teased her. Emma rolled her eyes and shoved him off, walking out to get ready for work. Snow and Charming just looked at each other and laughed. Maybe that would put her off heavy drinking!
