One Big Happy Family?

A New Member?

"Oh come on honey, smile! It's your birthday and we want pictures to remember this moment." Snow pleaded to her stubborn daughter. Emma hated to take pictures where she had to smile, "Fine." She huffed. All of a sudden the doorbell rang, "Oh I'll get it!" Charming went to answer the door and there was complete silence. Someone had left a basket on the doorstep. "Who is it dad?" Emma asked, everyone was looking at the door. "Someone left a basket, it has a note on it that says "To the Extended Charming Family"." "Great, now we're their extended family." Cora grumbled and Regina nodded in agreement. A loud whine came from the basket and everyone jumped, "Charming, is that a b-baby in that basket?" Snow asked as she stepped closer. She pulled the blanket off to reveal a baby crying, "Oh my gosh!" She covered her mouth with her hands. Emma stared with wide eyes, "Who leaves us a baby? Like we didn't screw Henry up enough as it is!" She said, picking the baby up. The baby took to Emma and stopped crying. "She likes you Emma." Snow smiled. "How do you know it's a girl?" Regina asked. "Only on way to find out." Emma looked inside it's diaper, "PHEW! Yeah it's a girl, and she has dropped a SERIOUS load. God kid, what did your parents feed you!?" The baby laughed and Emma couldn't help but smile. "So I guess that means we have a new edition to the family after all." Charming cheered as he wrapped his arm around Snow. Hook walked toward Emma, "You look good with a baby, lass. She's a little cutie." He tickled the baby's nose and Emma looked at him adoringly. "Can we name her Fiona?" Henry smiled brightly. The family nodded, "Well then it's settled, her name is Fiona." Regina lightly rubbed her head, cooing over Fiona, "You're going to be a badass, yes you are!" Emma started to say something but she wanted the same so she just smiled.

The family was getting used to Fiona and she had fallen in love with the family. Hook, Neal, Charming, and Henry had ran out and bought a ton of diapers, food, clothes, toys, a highchair, stroller, car seat, and anything else they figured she would need. Regina was playing with her, "You are such a cutie!" They both smiled at each other. Fiona gurgled and she sort of waved her hand, just then a toy bunny appeared. "What the hell? Regina did you do that?!" Emma asked, wide-eyed. "N-no!" Regina yelled, confused. "She did it. She has magic!" Cora smiled, "Finally a granddaughter to carry on the tradition." Emma and Snow looked at each other, "Oh no. Since she has it, she can use it but only under proper supervision. Do NOT teach this child how to be evil!" Snow said firmly. Regina coughed, "Mother." Cora glared at Regina, "Be glad you're holding that precious child." The guys came through the door with so much stuff, "Oh wow. Look at all your new stuff Fiona!" Regina let Fiona grab her finger. They were bonding and Regina had been the happiest anyone's ever seen. "Fiona has magic, so you guys need to be careful." Emma said as she and Hook started putting the her toys together. "That must be why they gave the baby to us, because our family has the most powerful magic beings..." Charming said and Rumple and Cora smirked. Belle came in the door, "I'm back everyone!" She said and then she laid eyes on the baby, "Wh-where did that baby come from?" She stared at it. "Her name's Fiona, someone left her on our doorstep." Henry answered. Belle dropped everything and started searching through her books, looking for something she knew she had read before. "Belle, what's wrong?" Rumple asked, looking at his wife. She stopped when she found the page she wanted and began reading to herself to make sure. "What is it?!" Regina raised her eyebrow as she held Fiona close. Belle looked up at the baby and then back down at the book, "This baby isn't ordinary."

"We know, she has magic." Cora chimed in. "Not only that, there's something else. She will age one year everyday til she is 15, then time will slow down and it'll take two years for her to age a year for the rest of her life." Everyone's mouth's dropped. "So...so you mean she's a..." Snow trembled over her words. "Yes. She has the markings from a demon. Someone put this curse on her." Belle answered. "Oh my gosh. Who the hell does that to a kid?!" Emma started to get pissed. "Who knows? They probably wanted revenge on the parents." Hook shrugged. "Speaking of her parents, if she's cursed, why here? Haven't we dealt with enough curses for a lifetime?" Snow said. Regina stood up, placing Fiona on her hip, "No matter! We are going to raise this child as normal as we can. They gave her to us because they figured we could do better than them and they were right. With our magic and love, she'll be okay." She gave Fiona to Snow and went to fix the baby some food. Snow stared into her little green eyes, Fiona yawned and it was the cutest thing you could ever see. Charming walked up behind them and made silly faces, they all laughed. Cora made a rattle appear that had skulls on it. "Grandma, why are there skulls on the rattle?" Henry asked. "I thought it was cute." She smiled. "No." He facepalmed. "Okay, fine." She made one appear with rainbows and unicorns on it. "Happy?" He nodded, "Much better." She gave the rattle to Fiona and she took it happily and hugged it. "That warms an old woman's heart." Cora said as she couldn't help but smile. "Mother you don't have a heart." Regina said as she walked toward them with a warm bottle. Cora looked down and laughed, "Oh yes. You're right. Still, it warms my locked away heart." "Henry, would you like to feed her?" Regina asked as she sat on the couch with the baby. "Uhm, no, I'm okay." He answered before dashing upstairs and closing his door behind him.

"Huh. I wonder what's wrong with the kid. I better go talk to him." Emma stopped putting the stuff together and went upstairs. She could hear quiet sobbing coming from behind the door, "Henry?" She peeked in. He wiped his face, trying to hide the tears. She went and sat next to him, "What's wrong buddy?" She wrapped her arm around him, pulling him closer. He sighed, "I feel like I'm not important now that Fiona is here. Everyone's talking about her and what's best for her. It's just like I don't exist." "Oh kid, she's only been here a couple of days but I promise you, we don't love her more than we love you. It's just that babies need a ton of attention because they can't do anything for themselves." Emma said, kissing him on the forehead. "I know but do you see how my mom is cooing over her?" He stood up, pacing the floor. "Kid. Seriously? You don't think she did that with you? She loves you so much she was ready to kill all of us so she could have you to herself." He smiled, "Oh yeah. I had forgot about that." He hugged her, "Thanks mom." She shook her head grinning, "No problem knucklehead." They went back downstairs chuckling only to be shushed by Regina and Snow, "Ssh, the baby is sleeping." Snow whispered. "Hook, is the crib ready yet?" Regina whispered as she rubbed the baby's back, trying to keep her asleep. He nodded as he stepped aside to reveal a princess themed crib. Everyone silently awed as the baby was put in it. "So how is this going to work?" Charming asked. "What do you mean?" Emma raised her eyebrow. "Who are her parents going to be?" Charming looked over at the baby then back at the group. "Well, I'd love to be her mother." Regina smiled. "Of course you would." Emma sneered. "Regina and I can be her mothers. Hook and Neal would you be her fathers?" They both nodded. "Good. And mom and dad, you'll be her grandparents as well as Cora, Rumple, and Belle. Sound good?" There was a moment of silence and then everyone said they agreed. "This is so exciting! A baby is the house." Snow grinned.
