Sissy's bed
A guest asked for a oneshot of Neal climbing into Emma's bed after having a nightmare.
lol: I'm afraid this has been too closely covered with other activities.
Emma groaned as she heard her door creak open. Had she slept through her alarm? It was too early to get up.
"Emma?" A quiet little voice asked, coming over to her and touching her face. "Emma." They whimpered. Emma knew the voice to belong to her little brother. She peeked her eyes open. She picked up her phone to use it as a torch and as the screen illuminated the room she saw that it was twenty past three in the morning.
"Hey buddy." Emma said groggily. "It's a little early to be getting up to play isn't it?" As she shone the light on his face his bottom lip started to quiver. He shook his head.
"I don't wanna play." He said in a defeated voice. "I'm scared." Emma could see more clearly now how frightened Neal looked. He held his tiny little arms up for her and she immediately picked him up and placed him beside her on the bed. He scampered over into her lap and rested his head against her chest. "Bad dream." He explained. "Really bad."
"Aw buddy." Emma said sympathetically, cuddling him tightly. "Was it that big bad monster again?" Neal nodded against her. This dream happened around once a week right now. Emma lay down with Neal still on top of her and wrapped her quilt snuggly around them both. "Don't worry, little bro. He won't get you when you're with me. I won't let any monsters come and hurt my baby bro."
"Kay Emmy." He said sleepily. Emma rubbed soothing circles on his back until he fell asleep, dropping off herself not long after.
The next morning when Charming went to get Neal up he was surprised to find him not in his bed. He went up to ask Emma if she knew where he was and found them snuggled up together still asleep. He quickly got Snow and the pair of them felt their hearts melt. How adorable were their babies?
