Lost And Frozen

Runs In the Family

Emma felt light headed and her body felt like it was full of lead. She blinked, willing her heavy eyelids to creak open. Emma studied her surroundings hazily as she realised she was in her parents bed. Emma looked around herself and grinned in relief when she noticed no one was around. Slowly Emma threw back the blankets on herself and swung her legs over the edge.

She had just put her feet on the floor when
"Emma what're you doing?" Snow yelled coming out of nowhere. Emma jumped falling off the bed onto the floor.
"Geeze mom give me a heart attack." Emma complained her voice raspy from being sick.

Snow swiftly raced down the stairs and helped Emma to her feet.
"Emma you're still sick let's get you back to bed." Snow encouraged but Emma tried to pull out of her mother's death grip.

"I'm fine now, can't I go watch TV?" Emma begged and Snow frowned looking towards the couch then back to Emma.
"Honey you've worn yourself out with your magic why don't you just relax and get into bed." Snow commanded leading Emma back into bed and under the covers.

"Mom I'm completely awake I don't want to sleep!!" Emma complained and Snow sighed.
"Emma I'm not asking. I'm telling you go to sleep you're sick." Snow insisted and Emma scowled bitterly.
"You can't make me sleep." Was her retort and Snow groaned.

Just as David came down the stairs ready for work.
"Hey ladies, Emma I'm so glad you're awake. Feeling better?" He asked and Emma frowned.
"I was,until someone forced me to stay in bed." Emma complained and Snow rolled her eyes at Emma.

"Emmy!!" Neal yelled racing around to the side of the bed and grabbing Emma's hand.
"Hey Neal. What's up baby bro?" Emma asked smiling kindly. Neal grabbed Emma's hand and pulled.
"Cartoons" he yelled and Emma grinned.

"Okay let's go!!" She exclaimed and Snow grabbed Emma and pushed her back.
"Neal Emma is still sick and needs her rest she'll play with you later okay?" She tried but Neal began to sob so David scooped him up.

"Hey buddy wanna come with me to the station, you can see Graham?" David offered and Neal's tears stopped immediately and he clapped happily.
"Bye bye Emmy!" He called as David carried him out the door.
"Traitor!!" Emma called slumping against the headboard in huff.

"Emma you need to sleep." Snow tried again but Emma glared at her mother bitterly.
"No I don't and you can't make me!!" She yelled just as Rose and Elsa walked into the apartment.
"Hey kiddo glad to see you are awake, I brought you a hot Coco!" Rose exclaimed handing Emma the drink.

"Is there cinnamon?" Emma askrd and Rose laughed.
"Do you even have to ask kid?" She exclaimed chuckling. Snow yanked the cup from Emma with a sigh.
"Emma you can have this after you sleep for at least another hour." Snow bargained and Emma scowled.

"No way it'll be cold and mushy by that time!!" She whined.
"Snow why not let her drink the coco I'm sure Emma would be willing to sleep." Rose tried but both mother and daughter yelled at the same time
"No"

"Hmm looks like stubborn runs in the family." She murmured then whispered something in Snow's ear that Emma couldn't hear and Snow nodded as she handed Emma her hot chocolate and closed the curtain.

Emma sipped her coco for a moment then frowned. Her mom was up to something. Slowly Emma slipped out of bed and slid under the curtain. Her mom, aunt and Elsa were whispering furiously. It was obvious to Emma that they were discussing something juicy.

Emma got down on all fours and crawled over to the island. She could hear everything at that point.
"What do you mean the spell of shattered sight?!?" Snow yelled furiously.
"We don't know snow, and be quiet if you don't want Emma to hear!!" Rose snapped.

"Emma is a part of this perhaps we should consult her?" Elsa offered and Emma smiled at least someone took her seriously.
"No way Emma is only twelve years old she can't fight some deranged woman who wants Emma to be her sister!!" Snow exclaimed bitterly.

"Snow Emma is almost thirteen and she has magic. I think as long as we tell her and don't try and hide things from her she'll listen and try to be responsible." Rose whispered and Emma grinned so two people trusted her.

At that moment Killian walked into the apartment. Him and Emma's eyes met and Emma pleaded with him not to give away her spot. Killian winked at her as he approached the three frazzled women.

"Hello ladies, have we figured out a solution to our little problem." He asked as he ushered Emma away with his hand. Emma swiftly crawled under the curtain and ran around the bed and climbed in.

Emma cringed when she knocked the lamp over. Thinking quickly she placed her hand on the night stand and closed her eyes making it look as if she had knocked it over in her sleep.
"Emma?" Snow called and Emma heard the curtain being yanked back. She kept her eyes closed and face neutral.

She felt her mom move her arm under the covers and Emma heard her pick up the lamp. Snow then leaned forward and kissed Emma's forehead then left pulling the curtain shut behind her. Emma waited a good five minutes before she opened her eyes and sat up. Emma rubbed where her mom had kissed her in disgust.

Then someone knocked softly on the window, Emma turned and a smile lit her face at who was grinning back at her through the window.
