the charmings first father's day

[wilby]

[Most mornings, Charming is the first one up in the loft and that means that he makes breakfast for the whole lot of them most every morning too. Some days he makes a little less because Henry is staying at Regina's. Or Snow wakes up earlier than her alarm and comes out to help him. Once or twice, Henry skips down the stairs and stirs the pancakes.

Not once has Emma been the first one up but that's just part of his daughter's charm.

So imagine his surprise when he's barely started getting the ingredients down from the cabinets when Emma bounds down the stairs and no. She isn't dressed for heading into the station at the crack of dawn, which is good because he might be upset at not being informed they had work to do before now.]

Emma?

[ look, it's fine, David was a farmer. it makes sense that he's up at the crack of dawn on any given day, and ninety-nine percent of the time, Emma is grateful to come downstairs and find breakfast already made. she's not much of a morning person herself, but that's not entirely her fault. it used to be, but now there's Storybrooke with all its problems, and a job at the station that takes her attention at all hours. there are late nights and early mornings, so given the chance to sleep in, she always takes it.

except today, which Emma has proudly marked on her calendar with a red circle and set her alarm an hour early for.

the alarm goes off and she only lingers for a moment or two before forcing herself up. she stops into the bathroom to brush her teeth and grabs a robe off of the back of the door and wanders down to the kitchen still dressed in her pajamas, only to find that - of course - David is already awake and starting breakfast.

so much for a father's day surprise.]

You're up?

[ said as if it's not presently the most disappointing thing in the world to his adult daughter ( who seems to possess the emotional maturity of your average seven year old).]
