Disclaimer: Nightmare Before Christmas is not mine, never has been, never will. But I own the DVD and Rosie :D.
A/N: Hey Guys! Just thought I'd upload this one for Halloween. Just a little one shot that popped into my head last week :) It's un-beta edited so please don't judge any mistakes. Read, Review and Enjoy! :)
She stood the baby up, making sure she was steady before taking a couple of steps back to encourage the little girl.
"Come on Rosie, come to mumma," The girl spotted Sally and lit up.
"Mumumumum," She babbled, taking a shaky step forward. She took a couple more shaky steps before wobbling and landing on her behind. In shock, the little girl let out her loudest wail, making sure all of Halloween Town heard her. Sally jumped up and scooped up the little ragdoll, holding her close.
"Shh, Rosie, just a little fall," She began to rock the little girl gently, attempting to calm her.
"Is that my little pumpkin princess?" Jack asked as he descended down the stairs. Upon hearing her father's voice, Rosie's whimpers lessened.
"Dadada," She babbled again, her arms reaching for the skeleton, who picked her up with eager arms.
"Now what's caused all this fuss, princess?" He asked the little girl, who was snuggling into his chest.
"She was trying to walk again and lost her balance," Supplied Sally as she ran her fingers through the girl's raven hair.
"Well now, no need for all this crying," He cooed to Rosie, blowing raspberries on her cheeks. Her giggles echoed through the house, causing her parents to laugh too. Once her giggles quieted, the girl laid her head on Jack's shoulder, letting out a small clear "Boo."
"I have to say Sally, that wasn't very scary at all." Said Jack in an amused tone.
"Th-that wasn't me, Jack," replied Sally, shocked. Jack, now shocked as well, held Rosie out from his body.
"Was that you princess?" He asked Rosie.
"Boo!" Rosie said again, giggling at her parents' facial expressions. Recovering from her initial shock, Sally rolled her eyes.
"It figures that her first real word would be 'boo'."
"What a fine princess she'll be!" Exclaimed Jack, while Rosie was patting her little palms against Jack's cheeks. He placed the little girl on the ground and watched her crawl over to the couch where Zero was laying. Upon arriving at her destination, she pulled herself up to stand, exclaiming "boo!" to the ghost dog before giggling. Jack pulled Sally close, placing a kiss on top of her head.
"We did well, didn't we?"
"Yes, we did."

p.s: Rosie looks exactly the same as Sally only smaller and with black hair :)
