Quality time
Alma asked for a oneshot of some fluff between Snow, Neal and Emma.
Ever since Emma had forgiven her parents it was like there was a backwash of affection she had to give them. That night she was sitting right beside Snow on the couch as she lulled Neal to sleep. Emma herself was overly exhausted. The whole situation with Lily and being mad at her parents had left her physically and emotionally exhausted. It was like her mother's lullaby to her baby brother was calling her to sleep also. Snow noticed that Emma was drooping. Without saying a word or even looking up at her Snow shifted Neal into one arm and used her now free one to pull Emma closer so that Emma's head was resting against her shoulder. Emma stiffened for a moment. But then decided not to let her walls reappear. Instead she curled up against her mother's side and allowed her love and warmth to wash over her, helping with the soothing lullaby to send her off to sleep. Snow smiled when she noticed that both of her children were now asleep. It wasn't often that she got to spend quality time with both her children like this. Snow kissed each of her children tenderly on the forehead.
"Sleep well my beautiful babies." Snow whispered. She had no intention of moving. She would stay with her children and enjoy seeing them so peaceful.
