Daddy and Emma- part 2
Franciny asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch778 "Daddy and Emma" where Emma is still a child when they find Snow.
Charming couldn't believe his eyes. It was her. It was his Snow, right in front of him. He and Emma had recently had to relocate after Charming been made redundant at his job at the factory he'd been working in. A letter had anonymously been placed through his door telling him that someone out there thought he'd be perfect to fill the recently vacated spot of runner of the dog shelter in a little town in Storybrooke. The job came with a small apartment, and the key was enclosed in the envelope of the letter. They claimed to have spoken to his boss Charles at the factory who had recommended him for the job, which seemed strange seeing as the factory had nothing to do with animals, but Charming wasn't really in a position to be turning down work. One of the first things he had arranged to do was enrol Emma into Storybrooke Elementary…and that's where he found Snow. A meeting had been arranged with Charming, Emma and her new teacher Miss Blanchard. But this wasn't Miss Blanchard this was one hundred percent his Snow, even if she had cut her hair. Emma recognised her too from the drawings Charming had made her, and he only just managed to pull her out into the corridor in time.
"What are you doing?!" Emma complained. "That's mama! We've found her early!"
"Shh." Charming said, pressing a finger gently to her lips. "We both know it's mama, but it looks like everyone from back home has forgotten who they really are. Honey, mama doesn't remember us." He said, hating the heartbroken look she gave him. "I promise you that I'll find a way to make her remember, but until then you have to play along, ok?"
"But I want to tell her all about me and my new friends at the shelter like Cesar and Frieda."
"And soon you'll be able to baby, but not right now. This needs to be our secret mission, alright? We can call it Mission Mom." Emma pulled a face.
"Too obvious dad, you'd be a rubbish secret agent. We can call it Mission Dolphin, since that's my favourite animal. We'll know what we're talking about, but nobody else." Charming smiled at her and held out his hand.
"Deal." He agreed, and Emma happily shook her dad's hand. One way or another, they would bring Snow back to them.
