Overprotective

A guest asked for a oneshot of Snowing being protective of Emma after Maleficent is resurrected.

"For the love of all that is good I can manage to go to the store to get bread by myself without needing an escort!" Emma shouted, finally snapping. Her parents seemed to not be leaving her alone at all. She knew they were nervous that Maleficent was back, but Emma could handle herself.

"Tough." Was her dad's only response. "I'm coming." Emma could see that she wasn't getting a choice so just snatched up her keys and went to storm out. She found herself being wrapped up into a secure hug by her mother.

"Be careful." Snow murmured into Emma's hair. "Don't leave without your dad there and come straight home."

"I'm just going to the store five minutes away, not Australia." Emma sighed. She pulled away from her mom. "I know you're worried about Maleficent since I kind of killed her but don't- I can look after myself. Emma didn't fail to notice the way both her parents wince, but had given up questioning why they were acting so strangely lately. Snow stroked her finger down Emma's cheek.

"I know- just please- humour me?" Emma rolled her eyes and Snow took that as a reluctant "fine then". She moved forward to where her dad was now waiting at the door with his arm sticking out. Emma looked at it like it had grown mould.

"Seriously?" She sighed. The look her dad gave her in return told her he was indeed being serious. Begrudgingly, Emma hooked her arm into his just to walk to the damn car. When would this madness end?!
